When Buyao woke up again, she found herself lying on the cart with Gao Boyi sitting next to her.

She sat up and looked around.

It was discovered that except for himself, brothers Gao Boyi, Gu Zhong and Gu Yi, everyone else, including the exiled prisoners and the messengers, were all missing.

Oh, and there are four more new faces.

The four men were dressed in soldiers' uniforms and stood at the four corners, surrounding them in the middle.

Bu Yao felt something was wrong and looked to the side. It was Gu Zhong carrying a bookcase and pushing a wheelchair walking next to the trolley.

Looking back, it was Gu Yi pushing the trolley.

Regardless of the fact that she and Gao Boyi were sitting on the cart, Gu Zhong still pushed it very steadily.

The wheels of the car rolled on the rugged mountain road, making a squeaking sound.

Bu Yao looked at the surrounding scenery. It looked like a barren mountain. And, for some reason, she always felt that this barren mountain looked familiar.

After observing the situation around him, Bu Yao looked at Gao Boyi again.

He met Gao Boyi's eyes with a faint smile.

Buyao asked, "What's going on?"

Gao Boyi said, "You were too tired from traveling before, so you fainted just after entering Ningguta City. While you were falling asleep, the police officer had already taken everyone to the Ningguta City Yamen to complete the matter. Handed over.”

Is it that fast?
Bu Yao was a little surprised, "How long have I been unconscious?"

"One day and one night."

"what?!"

Bu Yao's eyes widened, how could it be possible?

She suspected that Gao Boyi was lying to her, so she looked at Gu Zhong and Gu Yi again.

Gu Zhong said with a smile, "Madam, you did sleep for a day and a night. I can't hide it from you. Don't worry. Everything went smoothly during this period. There was nothing wrong with it."

Gu Yi did not speak, but nodded when Bu Yao looked at him, expressing his agreement with Gu Zhong's words.

Buyao, "..."

So, she actually fell asleep for no reason for a whole day and a night?
She couldn't accept it.

But she quickly put this matter behind her, stopped thinking about it, and quickly moved on to the next question.

"What about the others? Why aren't Ning Ning and the others with us?"

Gao Boyi responded, "The people in the yamen dealt with different exiled prisoners separately. The Liu family yamen stayed. It seemed that they wanted Mr. Liu and several other Mr. Liu family to do clerical work. Ning Ning and Mr. Ning My wife was arranged to farm in another village, and He You was left to work as a clerk. He Mo is his son, so naturally he will be with him."

Bu Yao curled her lips after listening to Gao Boyi's words, well, the Liu family and the He family were indeed left to do paperwork just like in their previous lives.

But it's normal. Although this Ninggu Tower City is an important military town, it does not have much development. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a wilderness.

In any barbaric land, what is most lacking is talent.

Unfortunately, there are not many scholars in the local area, which means that many local government affairs have no one to take over, or the people responsible are of poor quality.

In this way, the local government was in desperate need of talents.

Whenever an exiled prisoner is sent to the imperial capital or other wealthy places, they don't care about his status as an exiled prisoner. As long as he has committed some unforgivable crime, they will treat him with courtesy and even give him special preferential treatment.

The purpose is very simple, just to bring people into the yamen and do things for them!
It is conceivable that Mrs. Liu and He You, who were originally civil servants and reached certain high positions, as well as several young and old men of the Liu family who were admitted to the Juren or Jinshi positions, have become the favorites of others?

She didn't think about it at first, but now she remembered it after hearing Gao Boyi's words, so she wasn't too surprised about where Liu Jiahe and He You and his son were arranged to go.

Then, she began to sympathize with Gao Boyi again.

Although this guy's reputation as the God of War General is resounding throughout Yueyin and enemy countries, this guy is not a pure military commander.

He also passed the examination.

Many great scholars have said that if Gao Boyi continues to improve, it will not be difficult for him to win the first prize.

So this guy is completely capable of both civil and military skills.

It's a pity that the emperor coveted him because of his great achievements.

Someone from above had specially warned that even if the people from Ningguta Yamen wanted to use Gao Boyi, they would not dare to use him.

Bu Yao remembered that when they successfully arrived at Ning Guta, they were assigned to farm in a small village called Lianhua Village Pianyuan.

Well, the Dog Emperor was worried that Gao Boyi would be useful in the future, so he left a leeway and did not directly classify them as military households. Instead, they simply became farmers and farmed the land obediently.

The Dog Emperor is a real dog, but Bu Yao is quite satisfied with this.

After all, it is better to be a farmer than a military household.

Except that they cannot easily leave the boundary of Ninggu Pagoda, they are no different from other farmers in Yueyin in other respects.

The only difference is probably that the people staring at them haven't left yet.

Bu Yao sympathized with Gao Boyi and didn't know how long he would have to pretend to be disabled.

Stopping her thoughts of flying far away, Bu Yao asked, "Then where were we arranged?"

"Go to Lianhua Village to farm."

Gao Boyi said calmly.

Bu Yao's eyes froze, and she clicked her tongue. Should it be a coincidence or fate, it turned out to be Lotus Village again.

No wonder the environment in this barren mountain seemed familiar to her just now.

Regarding what happened after arriving at Lianhua Village, Bu Yao didn't ask any more questions.

Anyway, I've experienced it before, so it should be pretty much the same.

She counted the situations of several people that Gao Boyi had just explained, and found that she had missed a few.

So he asked again, "By the way, what about Yun Jiao and the others?"

Gao Boyi frowned. Frankly speaking, if Bu Yao hadn't asked, he wouldn't have wanted to mention the peach-eyed boy at all.

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

Bu Yao also knew that this man didn't like Yun Jiao very much. Seeing that he didn't speak, he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he turned to look at Gu Zhong and said, "Zhong, tell me."

Gu Zhong glanced at Gao Boyi's face and saw that he had no intention of objecting, so he said, "Madam, Mr. Yun and his three masters and servants did not make other arrangements. They were only warned not to leave the Ninggu Pagoda boundary. Others Whatever they plan to do, let it be their decision.”

Are you just going to be an ordinary resident in Ninggu Tower?
It must be said that this is the best way out after arriving at the penal colony.

As expected of Yun Jiao, he has this destiny.

Bu Yao asked again, "Then do you know where Yun Jiao and the others settled?"

These three people are different. They are really free within the boundaries of Ningguta. Who knows if they will go somewhere else if they turn around.

Bu Yao decided to have a good relationship with Yun Jiao, so naturally she couldn't cut off the contact.

Just when Gu Zhong was about to speak, Gao Boyi, who was silent and silent, suddenly cleared his throat.

"Madam, this subordinate doesn't know." Gu Zhong immediately changed his mouth shape with a smile.

Bu Yao was very sure that what Gu Zhong wanted to say when he opened his mouth just now was definitely not the word "Madam".

She looked at Gao Boyi, she was really petty.Gao Boyi met Bu Yao's eyes calmly, without any hint of guilt on his face.

Bu Yao found it funny. Although she could see that Gu Zhong knew but didn't dare to say it because of someone's intention, she had no intention of asking.

After all, they are a couple who want to grow old together, and there is no need to make them unhappy because of an irrelevant outsider.

After asking about Yun Jiao, Bu Yao felt that she forgot to ask something.

I thought about it again and again, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Finally, Gu Zhong asked, "By the way, madam, do you want to know about Liu Yu's situation?"

Gu Zhong just felt that they were all traveling together with their master. Since Mrs. Bu Yao had asked everyone else, there was no way Liu Yu was left behind.

Seeing that Buyao hadn't asked yet, he couldn't help but asked tentatively.

After Gu Zhong reminded her, Bu Yao suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask something.

Isn't it Liu Yu?
Alas, it's not that she forgot on purpose. In fact, Liu Yu was always alone, not as lively as others, and Liu Yu was always quiet, which made it easy for people to ignore it.

Bu Yao asked immediately, "Of course I want to know. How is Liu Yu doing?"

Speaking of Liu Yu, Gu Zhong frowned, shook his head, and sighed, "Speaking of which, Miss Liu Yu has a hard life, and her arrangement is the worst among us."

"The worst? What's the difference?" Bu Yao asked.

Gu Zhong said, "She was classified as a slave and assigned to the government office to be auctioned."

"what?"

Bu Yao was shocked.

"Hasn't her case been decided a long time ago? The imperial government didn't classify her as a slave at the beginning, so why did she end up here? It's so unreasonable!"

Gu Zhong quickly winked at Bu Yao and asked her to look at the soldiers around her.

Bu Yao also saw Gu Zhong's wink, and belatedly remembered that there were people sent by the Yamen beside her.

She closed her mouth and stopped talking.

However, just because you don't say it on your lips doesn't mean that you don't have any complaints about this matter in your heart.

Liu Yuhao was a girl from a scholarly family. She was literate and had a good appearance and temperament. However, she became an exile because of her unkind dealings with others.

This was already miserable enough, but I didn't expect that when I got here, I was directly made into a slave!
It would be too cruel for her.

Bu Yao sympathized with Liu Yu and thought that they had gone all the way together, so she asked, "Zhong, do you know when it will be sold?"

If possible, wouldn't she just come forward and buy Liu Yu back directly?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked the question, Gu Zhong's expression became more subtle, even helpless, "Madam, that Miss Liu Yu was bought yesterday."

"What?!" Bu Yao was really shocked.

Who is it?It's so fast!
Bu Yao was very worried about Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, who was worried by Bu Yao, was stunned when he looked at the man in front of him.

"What does Fourth Master Liu mean?" Liu Yu quickly calmed down and asked Liu Jinhuai.

Liu Jinhuai thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't be a slave."

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, "What should I do? What fate thinks I should do, I can't escape."

Liu Jinhuai looked at her deeply and smiled, "Really? It seems that buying you is fate's answer to you. He hopes you can avoid it."

Such a sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting Liu Yu's heart.

It made her heart tingle.

Bu Yao didn't know that the person who bought Liu Yu away so quickly was none other than Liu Jinhuai, the fourth master of the Liu family.

At this moment, they had been taken to Lianhua Village by the four soldiers who looked upright.

Bu Yao looked at the Lotus Village with scattered houses, feeling particularly calm.

No way, who let her experience it once?

She also knew that there were only twelve households in Lianhua Village, and including them, there were only thirteen households.

It is precisely because there are so few people in the village that it is easy for the whole village to mobilize at the slightest disturbance.

No, as soon as a child shouted that the soldiers were coming, almost the whole village came over.

Buyao and the others were looked at in various ways by the villagers as if they were rare species.

The four soldiers were very calm and glanced at the villagers, "Which one of you is the village chief?"

A tall and thin young man stood up and said, "Sir, this little guy Gao Jing is the head of Lianhua Village."

Takai.

Bu Yao vaguely remembered that there was such a person. He was very diligent and didn't have many big ideas, but he had strong execution ability.

Usually, the village chiefs of a village are senior or have some leadership style, but in any case, they are middle-aged or older.

Such a young village chief is still very rare.

The sergeant major looked at Takai with doubts in his eyes. This young man looked like he was only in his early twenties, right?
Looking at the other villagers, there are all tall, short, fat, thin, old, weak, sick and disabled, and there are also some who are older and look very strong. Why did you choose such a tall, thin and young person?

The sergeant commander was puzzled, but this was a matter in their village and he wouldn't care.

He took out the documents from his arms and told Gao Jing about the origins of Gao Boyi and the others, the crimes they had committed, and finally said, "Next, the couple will settle in your Lianhua Village, and their main task will be farming. Village Chief Gao, who is We leave it to you, as for other things, you can take care of it yourself."

By saying this, it is obvious that we will not be responsible for the follow-up after the person is handed over to you.

Sure enough, after the sergeant commander finished explaining, he stuffed the document into his arms, turned around, and left with the other three people.

The four of them, Gao Boyi and Gao Jing, who were left behind, looked at each other in confusion.

Tao Jing didn't have many ideas. He looked a little stunned at the moment, as if he didn't know how to deal with it.

Behind him, the villagers in Lianhua Village started talking in low voices.

"Why did this couple come here on a cart? Are they sick or disabled?"

"You must be sick, right? Didn't you listen to what the soldier said just now? Let them farm in our village! How can you farm if you are disabled?"

"That's true. But we don't have any land for them to plant in our village."

"Who says there isn't? Such a vast area of ​​barren mountains is nothing but land."

"That's right! If we let them open up wasteland, wouldn't there be land?"

"Do you have any objections to land reclamation?"

An old man raised his voice and asked.

Everyone shook their heads and said no.

The old man laughed.

Someone immediately said to Gao Jing, "Okay, Gao Jing, did you hear that? Just do what everyone wants!"

Gao Jing wiped away the confusion on his face, smiled and said to Gao Boyi, "As you can see, there are many barren mountains here, and everyone's fields were reclaimed by their own families. If you want to stay with us, To cultivate land, we can only open up wasteland first.”
