Jing Changning continued to look at his niece with suspicion. This little girl was indeed very well-planned, and she must have thought of everything to hide. He still didn't say anything, but the look in his eyes could almost see through Jing Chunxi's little thoughts.

Jing Chunxi pretended to be embarrassed, knowing that his uncle's silence meant he agreed, so he quickly covered his mouth and said, "I want to put some food and pots and pans in the car, and I need a place to put my clothes and bedding, right?"

In return, I was blamed: "You are the only one with so many tricks."

Jing Chunxi smiled innocently and finally said, "It would be best if Third Uncle goes to buy the carriage and horses, while my aunt and I will go to buy the things."

Seeing that her third uncle still didn't say anything and just stared at her, Jing Chunxi simply went all out and made clear arrangements: "That's it, Sister Xi, go to sleep after you're full. You're exhausted today."

He yawned and smacked his lips, too lazy to look at his third uncle's face, and went straight to find something to eat. The two pieces of dried meat were so delicious that he had to ask his third aunt for two more.

As long as we have a car that can block the view outside, we can take out the good things in the space to eat and take out the bedding to sleep in.

Jing Changning shook his head, picked up a steamed bun and ate it, then sat down next to his mother. The two of them sat facing each other but didn't say much. But after eating a steamed bun, he picked up another black flour bun in his hand and went to the opposite side of Master Liu.

"He's a scholar, but I think he's just a weakling. He couldn't stand the hardship and started fawning on people on just the third day after he came out."

Hearing Old Lady Wang's badmouthing of Gudu again, someone in their group retorted, "Who wants to suffer like this? If I had the money, I'd definitely go and bribe them into submission, living a life of luxury every day."

Someone else echoed, "It's always good to have someone to take care of it. Even if we can't get it done, the officials will probably give us a break for his sake."

Su was very disgusted with the words defending the General's Mansion and directly said to the man, "You're dreaming. You're helping others just because you eat two steamed buns."

Someone in the team immediately laughed: "Old Lady Wang, if you give me a white flour bun every day, I will carry you on my back."

"Hahaha"……

"There will be no steamed buns today. Everyone, eat and go to sleep." The second aunt greeted her grandchildren. They were looking at that place with anticipation just now. They knew that if they didn't go into the inn, they couldn't spend their money, but they still felt a little bit of anticipation in their hearts.

"Second aunt, my aunt is very thoughtful. I prepared an extra set of clothes for us. These two sets belong to my father and mother. They have quilts to cover themselves with, so I'll lend them to you. You two old people should make do with them for now. It's not good to get too cold.

There are only a few extra pieces left. You two can decide how to divide them. It would be bad if you caught a cold on the journey."

Zhuang was holding two sets of clothes in her hands, and Yin was holding a few scattered pieces of different sizes, and handed them directly to her second aunt's wife.

The second aunt's wife and the three daughters-in-law were at a loss for words. Si, who was at the back, shyly took out a few black flour steamed buns and said, "We don't have much on the road in the wild mountains. Whoever has a big appetite can have an extra one. Otherwise, it will be even more uncomfortable if you get cold and hungry."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Their sons and grandsons had gone to collect firewood. Seeing the increasingly cold weather, they didn't know what to do. Fortunately, they followed them and settled in a place that was sheltered from the wind, otherwise they would definitely be freezing.

"Let's all sleep together around the fire later, otherwise we won't be able to buy medicine if we catch a cold."

Zhuang comforted them for a moment, then reminded them, "Our mother just said that my third uncle went to negotiate with the officials and asked if they could help us buy some things when we stop in Qingliu County tomorrow night. We have a long journey ahead, and it's getting colder. If you have any money, it's best to make plans tonight and buy the necessary things for the journey. Otherwise, it will be difficult to leave later."

As Si was leaving, she pulled her eldest daughter-in-law, Daqing Sao, behind her and said, "We're all family. We should communicate more about anything between our two branches. Let Second Uncle and your Changning talk more. After all, Second Uncle has a lot of experience, so he'll probably see things more clearly!"

This is what the mother-in-law just reminded them, asking them to come over and say more soft words and play the family card. After all, this family is all good. Although they cannot help whenever they can, they can always do it with a little effort.

As for the two families at the back, whether they can make it to the end depends on their performance and luck. A forced melon is not sweet.

One night, piles of bonfires were lit in the silent forest. Most of the prisoners huddled together, but they could not resist the biting cold.

Sometimes you can hear the sound of people stamping their feet because they can't sleep because it's too cold. Some people may not have enough firewood and rush into the woods to collect firewood in the middle of the night. In any case, it's not their room.

At daybreak, Daqing and his wife returned the neatly folded clothes, expressing their gratitude profusely: "If it weren't for these clothes, the old and the young would have suffered."

Sure enough, when they were walking, they found that coughing sounds began to appear in the team, and they even heard that some people had high fever, but the team did not stay for long because of this. All the prisoners were escorted, shouted at, and continued to move forward staggeringly.

Everyone knew that today's journey was twenty miles longer. In order to be able to buy things in the evening, the people in front walked very fast. The team of serious criminals were forced to hurry up and only fell behind them by less than half a mile. However, when they arrived at the Qingliu County Post Station, it was still early and the sun had not yet set.

As soon as they entered the courtyard of the post station, Scarface shouted loudly to the four branches of the Jing clan, "This place is only a mile from the street. Anyone who needs to buy clothes and bedding should leave immediately. Each branch can go out one person, and you must return within an hour. If you go out, report your name immediately."

As soon as the other two families heard the news, they hurriedly huddled together to discuss the matter in a chaotic manner.

Jing Chang would rather not care about that: "Sister-in-law, Sister Xi, hurry up. If you are any later, many shops will be closed."

We are still sleeping in a large dormitory tonight, and we have added an extra room. As soon as we stopped and entered the room, Jing Changning came over to urge us.

No one knew how Jing Changning bribed Master Liu. The three of them, plus Daqing and Daqing's wife from my second uncle's family, did not need to wear anklets or be followed by officials. They could go straight to the street. It might be because they had elderly people with them and knew they would not run away.

"Aunt, my third uncle and I are going to buy a car and bedding, as well as pots, grain and vegetables. You just need to pick out some important things to buy." After saying this, Jing Chunxi pulled Zhuang's body down again and told her that someone would deliver more things later.

Jing Chunxi told his aunt this simply because he was worried that she would buy too much. Most of the things already existed in the space. As long as she had a car and a carport, she could solve any problem, so she didn't want her aunt to follow her.
