Donkey meat smells very good. Even though Shen Yitian had eaten a full meal at noon, she still felt very hungry when she smelled the aroma of donkey meat.

Seeing the light in Song's mother's eyes, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Not far from where she was standing, Yuan Dutou was already arranging the officers' night shifts.

Shen Yitian took advantage of the fact that the other officials had not yet dispersed and walked over holding the oil-paper bag.

Mother Song opened her mouth and called her, "Tian'er."

She turned a deaf ear to them and still held the oil-paper bag in front of the officials.

When Yuan Dutou saw her coming, he looked up at her with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Shen Yitian took the topmost fried dough cake off the oil paper, and then handed the donkey meat forward, saying, "Brother officers, my family sent me some food. I can't finish all this donkey meat, so please do me a favor and take two pieces each."

Her voice was clear and her smile was bright, which made the officials feel good at first sight.

"Wow, your family in the wild mountains and wilderness can still find a way to send things over here." Xiao Yu joked with a smile.

Yuan Dutou's eyes flashed, but when he thought about how Shen Yitian had been very well behaved since the beginning of her exile and had never tried to escape, he didn't care about the fact that someone followed the exile team to deliver things to her.

After all, the Shen family had given them a lot of benefits. The wages they would receive for escorting the prisoners to the exile area were not as much as what the Shen family sent them.

Who can have trouble with money?

So he reached out and took a piece of donkey meat, tasted it and said, "If you can give these things away, send more at once, and don't keep following them."

Shen Yitian was stunned at first, but then she understood what he meant.

"Okay, I'll tell my grandma next time I see her." She replied in a low voice.

However, she was not sure whether that person was sent by the Shen family. After all, Grandma Li didn't mention it last time.

She didn't mention it, either because she didn't know about it or because she was too excited to remember it.

Whatever it is, I have to see her to be sure.

Yuan Dutou knew that she was easy to take care of, so he let his brothers each eat two pieces of donkey meat and let her stay here to eat.

Then he narrowed his eyes at Song's mother, who was still standing there staring at Shen Yitian and was reluctant to return to her resting place.

"It's getting late, so those who need to rest should do so early. If you don't want to rest, go get some firewood, as we need to burn it at night."

Mother Song watched helplessly as half of the big bag of donkey meat was taken away in an instant, and her heart sank.

She was angry at Shen Yitian for giving such good donkey meat to these officials. She was also angry at these officials for eating the donkey meat even though they knew Shen Yitian was a member of the Song family and the Song family hadn't eaten it yet.

However, Yuan Dutou had been whipping people quite a bit these days. Although he no longer hung anyone up to teach them a lesson, the whip still hurt.

She didn't dare challenge the official, nor did she want to go collect firewood. She glanced at Shen Yitian, who was munching on a fried pancake, unwillingly gnawing at her back teeth, then returned to sleep beside Song Yuerong in anger.

As soon as he lay down, Aunt Song's mocking voice came over.

"Tsk, sister-in-law, didn't you say that Shen Yitian's temper would calm down after a few days of tantrums? Why, you massaged your daughter-in-law's legs, but she's still not satisfied?"

Song Xia'er, who was beside Aunt Song, didn't know what her mother meant. She just felt that her feet were very sore, so she pulled Aunt Song's sleeve and said, "Mother, Xia'er's feet hurt too. Can you help me massage them?"

Aunt Song laughed and said, "Of course you can. My Xia'er is so well behaved that she can walk on her own. It's okay for me to rub your legs. You are my biological daughter, not someone from another family."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Song's mother over there, and her words were full of sarcasm.

Old Mrs. Song had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, but when she heard Aunt Song's loud voice, she turned over impatiently.

"Go to bed early. We can talk about it tomorrow. My back hurts a little. Third wife, please give it a massage for me later."

Aunt Song's mouth twitched: "Mom, I'm massaging Xia'er's feet. The child's feet are swollen. If I don't massage them, I'm afraid I won't be able to travel tomorrow. Doesn't my sister-in-law also know how to massage? Ask her to help you massage your feet."

Mother Song was so angry that her forehead was about to smoke. Why didn't she realize that her third brother's wife was so good at setting traps for others?

Before she could refuse, Old Lady Song hummed in a deep voice.

"Well, eldest daughter-in-law, come over here and help me hammer it."

Song's mother was so angry that she wanted to die, but she still had to come over to help the old lady massage her back. As soon as she came over, she smelled a foul smell on the old lady.

Old people tend to smell old, and they had been traveling for several days in a row in this hot weather.

When they rested at the inn that day, they wiped themselves with cold water. But the old lady was afraid of the cold and refused to wipe herself. So from the day of exile until now, the old lady only changed one set of clothes and never washed herself.

The sour and stinky smell that came out when it was slightly turned over made Song's mother frown tightly, and she wished she could find a piece of cloth to plug her nose.

On this side, Song's mother endured the sour smell and massaged the old lady's back, while on the other side, Shen Yitian had already eaten half a bag of donkey meat.

Perhaps because of the excessive amount of exercise, she didn't feel full after eating a pancake and half a bag of donkey meat. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she took out another preserved vegetable and pork pancake that was about the same size as the pancake, and took out some dried meat to continue eating.

Someone looked over here and couldn't see any difference in what she was eating. They were just wondering how she could take so long to eat a piece of cake.

After eating the biscuits and dried meat, she secretly drank a bottle of milk, and then she felt that the energy she had consumed during the day was replenished.

It was late at night and the dew was heavy. She tightened her clothes before lying down, but as soon as she lay down, she found that the moon seemed darker than yesterday.

It's strange. As it approaches the middle of the month, the moon should be getting rounder and brighter.

Looking more closely, I found that the half-full moon was covered by a layer of dark clouds.

Shen Yitian frowned, feeling a little uneasy as she watched the dark clouds grow thicker and the moon darker.

"Yuan Dutou, will it rain tonight?" She raised her head and asked Yuan Dutou who was sleeping against a tree a few feet away.

Yuan Dutou had just closed his eyes when he heard someone calling him. He didn't quite catch who it was, but suddenly he roared like thunder: "Fuck you!"

The corners of Shen Yitian's mouth twitched, and she looked at the moon which was getting darker and darker, feeling more and more uneasy.

But Yuan Dutou didn't take it seriously. As an exiled prisoner, she couldn't say anything. She glanced silently at the space. She did have a rainproof tent, but it seemed useless to take it out now.

After thinking it over, she found a piece of dark rainproof cloth and covered herself with it.

It was dark, and as long as no one turned over the cloth, people would just think she was covering herself with clothes because she was afraid of the cold.

Staring at the dark clouds in the sky, she quickly fell asleep. She didn't know how long she had slept when suddenly there was a loud noise and Shen Yitian was awakened.
