I was exiled after wearing a book

Chapter 7 On the Path of Exile 2

Chapter 7

After eating and drinking enough, Jiang Xin also bought three catties of beef and gave it to Chief Qiu, who only nodded slightly and accepted it.

Jiang Xin didn't say much, and dragged Xiao Hu, Jiang He and the children to the hut, washed up, asked the shopkeeper to borrow a pair of scissors, and cut off the long hair by sticking it to the scalp.

Little Hu shook her head in fright, Jiang He was even more unwilling, Jiang Xin cut off the hair of the two cubs close to the scalp, and then muttered: "Cut it off, the chance to take a bath along the way is very special. Little, I slept in the wasteland along the way, and kept on driving, it was stinky, but it would be troublesome if I had lice, and it would itch to death.”

Jiang He was so frightened that his nostrils collapsed, and he opened his mouth, as if he was crying or not, he groaned and said: "Sister, can't you, have lice?"

Jiang Xin nodded, Xiao Hu heard this, hesitated for a moment, and immediately said: "Okay, sister Xin, help my aunt to cut it off too." After saying that, she closed her eyes, looking as if she was dying.

Jiang Xin smiled helplessly, took the scissors and began to cut Xiao Hu's hair too, sticking to the scalp, leaving a three-inch length. Although she didn't look as feminine as a woman, she was very energetic and a little heroic.

Jiang He didn't hesitate any more, she squatted there, closed her eyes, untied her hair, and waited for her sister to cut her hair.

Jiang Xin cut five and two, and gave Jiang He a new haircut, and then each tore a piece of fabric and wrapped it around his head as a scarf.

This scene was seen by many female relatives, and they were astonished to death, and then they looked disgusted. This woman from the Jiang family is really too careless. Without long hair, can she still be a woman?

After eating and resting, it took less than three quarters of an hour, and everyone was on the road again.

The next road is more difficult. You have to cross a canyon to enter a village. This section of the road is very important. You must enter the village to rest before dark, so Chief Qiu is in a hurry. If anyone is left behind, He whipped his whip and reprimanded him angrily.

After walking so much on the first day, when Jiang Xin felt that his legs were about to break, he finally arrived at Shanglin Village, a large village one day away from the capital.

Apparently, Chief Qiu often took the prisoners to spend the night here, so he quickly found Lizheng to arrange accommodation for him, with [-] Wen per person, including one meal and one night's accommodation.

Everyone paid the money, and for dinner, each person had a sweet potato, a cornbread with multigrain vegetables, a bowl of porridge, and a side of cold mixed vegetables.

Where have the nobles eaten such a meal? Although each of them was disgusted, they still ate it. I have experienced it in prison. If you don’t eat, you won’t have the next meal. Come down and learn to be good.

Jiang Xin put all her valuables in the storage space, and carried a big burlap bag on her back. Seeing that it was still early, she took the time to give the village chief's daughter-in-law a hundred pennies and asked her to boil water for the family and buy After eating the bath beans, I found an empty room to take a bath.

After entering the prison, it took eight days, plus today's one-day rush, Jiang Xin hadn't showered for ten days since she crossed over, and her whole body was sour and smelly.

Everyone in Jiang's family is stinky. After taking a bath, even if they simply scrub, they feel comfortable all over.

Especially Father Jiang and Jiang Zhen, who had carried their children on their backs for a whole day, were so tired that they fell asleep before their hair was dry.

After Jiang Xin changed her clothes, she saw that the linen shorts worn by several aunts who were helping out in the village were particularly strong and wear-resistant, so she inquired and bought five sets, two for men and three for women, for a total of one tael of silver. In terms of its real price, it is indeed a bit expensive, but the form is not as good as people.

Where do they have the conditions and time to negotiate the price now, it would be good if they can buy it. The aunt also saw that the Jiang family has two children, so she did not know where to get two backpacks that were probably new. Jiang Xin was very happy when she saw them. up.

Isn't this the kind of backpack that I saw carrying children in documentaries in Sichuan and Chongqing in my previous life?
It can hold things and carry children on the back!

That aunt is really good at doing business, so Jiang Xin spent another tael of silver to buy two back baskets, packed the things in advance, and put them on top of her head.

Little Hu didn't know what this carrying basket was for at first, but when Jiang Xin gestured, she smiled instantly, looked at Jiang Xin with a face of relief, and touched Jiang Xin's head: "Sister Xin has grown up!" .”

Jiang Xin looked at Xiao Hu with a smile, and Jiang He was also infected with joy. It seemed that it was really like what her sister said, as long as the whole family is neat and tidy, any difficulties can be overcome.

Seeing that Jiang Xin's family had spent money to take a bath, the others quickly learned to spend money to take a bath,

Fan Chunhua, who was not liked by others in the Shen family, also took a bath, and cut her hair like Jiang Xin with her daughter, but the hair cut was a bit ugly, and some parts of the scalp were exposed, looking white and black , It seems to have a skin disease, which made the Shen family angry, and cursed at Fan Chunhua.

Fan Chunhua was a strange person, so she quietly ignored it. Seeing that Jiang Xin had bought a pannier, she thought about it, then turned around and went to an aunt who bought a pannier that was about the same size.

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Captain Qiu called everyone up and ordered them to set off immediately in a quarter of an hour.

Many people didn't even drink hot water, ate some dry biscuits, and went on the road.

This day was even more difficult. They rested in the field at noon. They only rested for a quarter of an hour. After eating and drinking water, they hurried on the road. Fortunately, when the sun was about to set in the afternoon, they arrived at a post station.

If there is a post station, there will be hot water and food, and everyone is excited to cheer.

The inn at this time was really indescribably rudimentary.

Half a meter underground is made of stone, and the top is all rammed with earth bricks. Fortunately, the walls are relatively thick and have a large area. The whole area covers a large yard of [-] square meters and five or six rows of houses. , there are at least ten rooms in a row, and there are sixty or seventy rooms. According to Captain Qiu, this is a big post station.

But even if there are so many rooms, even if it is so simple, the housing supply is still extremely tight.

Captain Qiu lived in a single room with four other yamen servants. Sixty of them, adults, elderly and children, were only allocated two rooms, one room for men and one room for all women.

There was only a seven-meter kang, and he couldn't sleep at all. After looking at it, Jiang Xin decided to find a way by himself, and spent three taels of silver to ask the post station boy to find a warehouse without windows.

There was a dilapidated wooden bed inside, and two quilts with a bad smell were rented. Jiang Xin bought food and drink for her family. Now she has short hair and wears a lot of clothes. Outside, many people can't tell the difference. reveal her gender.

In September, the autumn wind is rustling, and it gets colder as we go north, and the temperature in the evening is only three or four degrees.

Jiang Xin changed into clean clothes and asked her family members to rest after eating. After eating and drinking, Jiang Xin went out. She couldn't go far away, so she went to the kitchen.
