Chapter 59

The cold wind howled, the wind and sand hit the face, and in the misty dust and mist, suddenly a group of people came against the wind.

The sound of horseshoes clattering, mules neighing, donkeys, wheels rolling forward, creaking, and even unknown big mice flying up and kicking at the leader.

Dray carts, donkey carts, and horse carts are connected one by one, and they are filled with various supplies, food, clothing, etc., not to mention the firewood, which is piled on top of the carts like a hill.

Wei Xin's eyes widened when he saw the number, especially the bloated figure, heh, don't think he couldn't see that they were all wearing cotton coats! ! !
"This group of people...are they really exiles? Are they not ordinary people who come to play?" A small team leader stared at him, without saying anything else, the cotton-padded clothes he was wearing were better than those of the soldiers!
Wei Xin raised his eyebrows, did not speak, and double-checked that the clothes on them were white and dirty prison clothes, and they were exiles!
But how do they have so many supplies?

The family property of the exile should have been confiscated, right?
It has to be said that even he is envious of the exiles who are full of supplies.

He drove his horse forward, just in time to see Chao Dynasty kicking a big rat viciously, and then got off his horse, and said to him, "Vice General Wei, in Xia Dynasty, we are escorting 320 exiles from Liheng, please inform General Chu."

"General Chu already knows, just follow me, the general will arrive later."

"Yes." Chao Chao bowed his hands, returned to the team, mounted his horse and followed closely behind.

The other soldiers took a step back and surrounded the exiles on both sides to look at the convoy of exiles. They were really curious to see their rosy complexions and energetic appearances.

The other exiles here were either dying or died on the way to exile. Even if they survived, most of them who didn't know how to farm the land would starve to death. I have never seen a team as rich as this team. 'of.

Not to mention horses, cattle, sheep, food and agricultural tools, they even saw a golden monkey, and the golden monkey and an eight or nine-year-old girl were sitting on a black horse. The little girl fed the golden monkey from time to time, but they didn’t look at what they were eating. I saw that the golden monkey was eating very sweetly.

There is also a golden python wrapped around the awning of the carriage. The python raised its head high, hissing and spitting out snakes, and its neck was still deflated, like a king cobra. It seemed that it would attack at any time It looked like they were amazed.

The envious eyes of the soldiers made the exiles proud, and each of them raised their chins, so proud that they couldn't bear it.

"How many people do you think the new exiles will starve to death?"

"I don't know. If you are a scholar like Chen Shusheng who doesn't know how to farm, you will starve to death in three days."

"They must be shabby, like beggars in the city."

"I can't stop watching. Someone is definitely sick, and it's like the plague."

"Will people be infected with diseases? Like smallpox, don't come and infect us."

"Not to mention, it's really possible."

"Hey, some starving ghosts are here again. We don't have much to eat here, and I won't make it out. It's absolutely impossible."

"I don't know where I will arrange to live, but don't live next to me, they must have nothing to eat, and they will steal my food by then."

"There are also my family's food. I will go and pack up my family's food later, so as not to be stolen."

"Many of them must be dying. Who can survive such a cold day?"

"I don't know if there is a woman, if there is, hehe..."

……

The people in the village gloated and chatted, they were not optimistic about the imminent exile, and even speculated maliciously.

However, when that team appeared at the entrance of the village, everyone's eyes widened in disbelief.

Chu Yiheng also saw this team of exiles from a distance, especially when he saw the full load of supplies beside them, his heart was full of shock.

Ten meters away, Wang Chaole stopped his horse, got off his horse, walked up to Chu Yiheng and knelt down, "In Xia Dynasty, I met General Chu."

Chu Yiheng stretched out his hands to help, "There is no need to be polite, I have worked hard along the way."

"The general's reputation is too high, it's his duty." Chao Chao stood up, and then took out the list from his jacket and said, "General, this is the list of convicts. There are 320 people in total, 57 people died on the way, 48 escaped, and 220 people remained. , are all recorded in the book."

"Well done." Chu Yiheng nodded, opened it to look, and asked, "Where are their household registrations, road guides, and family trees?"

"It's all here." Wang Chao stretched out his hand, Zhao Lie handed him a stack of bamboo slips, and he handed it to Chu Yiheng.

Chu Yiheng just checked one volume, then handed it all to Lieutenant General Lin Chong, and then said: "You have worked hard all the way, so go down with Lin Chong to rest first. As for the rest, just leave it to Wei Xin."

"Yes." Chao Chao clapped his hands together and continued, "General Chu, among this group of exiles, the Lu family is quite special."

"Oh? What's so special?"

Wang Chao shook his head: "I don't know, it's just that General Yan has explained it."

Go through the back door?

Chu Yiheng frowned, he never liked this kind of people who depended on connections, and then he also lost interest in this family, "Who are the Lu family?"

"Those who have horses and carriages are from the Lu family."

Hearing this, Chu Yiheng raised his eyes and saw a horse and seven carriages in the procession. The girl riding on the horse was an [-]-year-old girl, and behind her was a golden monkey eating pears.

And beside the horse, a big mouse that he had never seen before stood there, constantly looking around.

Heh, this is even a play pet, I'm afraid it's a special case given by General Yan.

He scoffed coldly in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He waved his hand slightly: "Weixin, take people down to allocate houses, and let them gather in the valley field after an hour."

"Yes!" Wei Xin nodded in response, stepped forward to wave to the exiles, and took the lead towards the village.

The officials and others also bowed their hands to Chu Yiheng, and then followed Lin Chong to rest.

Wang Chao felt that he had already told Chu Yiheng the key point, so he didn't say more. There were some things he could say, but there were more things he couldn't say, and some things he really didn't know, so he didn't say anything.

As for what Chu Yiheng thinks, that's not what he cares about.

On the other side, Wei Xin led everyone into the village under the envious eyes of other prisoners, many of them stared at the supplies with greedy expressions in their eyes.

There are quite a lot of houses in this village, and the soldiers built a lot some time ago, but they are all the simplest kind, made of mud and thatch. Although simple, they are good for keeping warm and cold.

Wei Xin led the Lu family to a thatched mud house, checked the bamboo slips and read: "Lu Dacheng."

"I'm here." Mr. Lu raised his hand with a smile.

Wei Xin nodded, his eyes scanned the seven-two carriage, a donkey cart, and a single horse, and the corners of his mouth twitched secretly. This family is so rich that he doesn't even have a horse. Well, there are actually eight horses in this family, which is simply not human.

"Your family will only live in these few rooms." Wei Xin casually pointed to the haystack houses behind him, "There are eight rooms, enough for your family to live in. Put away your things and lock the door, and go to gather in an hour."

The Lu family looked at the house in front of them, and there was no surprise, after all, the previous house was not too far from this one.

But Lu Anran watched, but couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The mud walls, mud roofs, mud floors, and mud yards are all made of mud, which is an original flavor.

Seeing that everyone in the Lu family moved things in as a matter of course, she felt a little bitter for a while, and wanted to build a house urgently, but now was not the time.

"Sad?"
