Feeling a strong gaze from behind, Du Ruoli turned around and was not surprised that it was Lu Jizhou.

She looked back without hesitation and gave him a big smile.

With a pure and innocent smile, Lu Jizhou's heartbeat skipped a beat, and he even wondered if there was a mistake. It was just an accident that the two people bumped into each other, not something planned by her?
Du Ruolixin said of course it was an accident, it could only be an accident, it had to be an accident.

She worked hard and killed countless brain cells, but she didn't get herself involved just for the sake of two scumbags.

If she hadn't wanted to take it out, she would have done it long ago, and she wouldn't have endured it until now.

Lu Jizhou kept staring at Du Ruoli for a while before he realized that he had lost control and turned away in embarrassment.

Du Ruoli turned around with a smile, hugged her sister tightly, and continued walking toward the back of the team, away from the scene of the beating.

If it weren't for the fear that the bloody scene would frighten her young sister, she would have really wanted to sit in the first row and watch.

However, even if you can't be there in person, just listening to it with your ears is enough to stimulate and relieve your hatred.

The whip struck the flesh, making a bang-bang-bang sound, which was obviously caused by force and not weakness.

Zhang Xiuhe's mouth was gagged. The cry reached her mouth and was forced back, causing violent vibrations in her throat and chest. You can imagine how painful it was.

Her three children were still young, and her husband, Du Laoqi, did not dare to let them stay with his mother. He was afraid that they would accidentally cry and make the guards unhappy, so he took them far away.

Zhang Xiuhe was beaten to pieces, and there was not even a single relative around him.It wasn't until the execution was over and the team continued to leave that Du Laoqi came to pick her up alone and continued on the road without saying a word.

Before that, Du Laoqi took the two older ones and held the younger one in his arms, and went to the patriarch's family and asked them to help take care of them.

What can Du Changgui and Shen Sanzhi do?We can only take him in temporarily!

When Zhou Daya saw something was wrong, she immediately took Niuniu to Du Ruoli and walked with her.

She didn't want to breastfeed Zhang Xiuhe's son. She would never forget Zhang Xiuhe's weaning of her breast milk and his bullying of sister A Li.Not fighting back was already her last act of tenderness, so there was no need to have any more contact.

Watching their daughter-in-law escape, Shen Sanzhi and his wife said nothing.The two older ones were given a rice ball each, and the younger one made a bowl of fern root powder and fed it to them, barely filling their stomachs.

It was already dark, and we could rest after walking for more than half an hour.Du Ruoli smelled the sticky smell of fern roots, and suddenly thought of a kind of food, and said to the friends around her: "Go back and mix the fern root powder thoroughly, steam it into thin slices and put it away. When you want to eat it, put it on the fire and bake it. Brush the mushroom sauce, put some diced pork and pickled radish, oh my god, I want to eat it like crazy..."

"Mother, you damn girl is so greedy for me..."

Xue Jinxin didn't know when she came. She hurriedly left before talking to Du Ruoli: "No, Ben... I have to eat at night. If I don't eat, I will be irritable."

Du Ruoli caught up with her, took her arm and asked, "Sister Xue, are you here for something?"

Xue Jinxin said helplessly: "I originally had something to do, but I have completely forgotten about it. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Now I just want to eat the powder skin you mentioned. Go and buy some fern root powder from your tribe."

Du Ruoli had never seen her so anxious before, and said with a smile: "Okay, Sister Xue, please calm down for a while. My sister will ask you for the fern root powder, how much do you want?"

Xue Jinxin said: "I have a lot of family members, and it's better to have more... Forget it, the guards will be unhappy if you buy too much. After all, they won't make any money... Just buy three or five kilograms, and you'll have a taste." Du Ruoli Nodding: "Okay, I understand."

Although the clan members have hoarded a lot of fern root powder, most of them would not be willing to sell it. At the critical moment, food is more important than money, and only three to five kilograms can be distributed.

After sending Xue Jinxin away, Du Ruoli asked Wu Yueniang and Shen Sanzhi to buy two kilograms of fern root powder each, plus one kilogram of her own, for a total of five kilograms of fern root powder, and delivered it to Xue Jinxin.

All the items collected on Black Wind Mountain, including medicinal materials and food, were divided according to the previously established rules.Du Ruoli received three taels of silver for selling medicinal materials, one tael for selling chestnut and pine nut cakes, and the rest was two kilograms of fern root powder.

Eat half, sell half, there is nothing wrong with budgeting carefully.

Finally arrived at tonight’s destination: the bank of an unknown river.

It was the dry season at this time, and the water in the creek had barely covered people's calves, exposing a large area of ​​the river bed, which became a temporary residence for the exiled prisoners.

Wang Zhizhang and his wife had already been waiting here, cutting several large bundles of firewood and lighting four blazing fires.

And the best location was specially cleaned, and a fire was placed next to it, with hot water burning in the fire.Let the servants have a fire for cooking and hot water for drinking when they arrive.

Ji Tong saw that they were sensible and he was embarrassed to make things difficult for them, so he sat down silently, which was regarded as his acquiescence.

With the tacit consent of the officer, Wang Zhizhang and his wife carried a large basket of white flour steamed buns from the carriage, plus a large pot of dried beans and pork belly, and delivered them to their relatives.

Du Ruoli, Du Ruozhen's family, and Du Changgui's family, after eating last night's fried noodles, this morning's meatloaf, and today's lunch of vegetable and meat rice, decided to pool their money and let Wang Zhizhang and his wife arrange meals.

Wang Zhizhang and his wife were happy to worry about this and asked them to pay one tael of silver per person first, and then pay after using up.

There is just one thing, they arrange to eat whatever they want, and they are not allowed to be picky.Not to mention letting them do it themselves to save money. There are only two of them and they can't do it.

No one disagrees. After getting up at night, what you eat is yours.

Du Ruoli broke open the steamed bun in her hand and stuffed it with plenty of dried beans and pork belly.The juice from the pork belly soaks into the steamed buns, making it extremely satisfying to take one bite.

After eating and drinking, everyone sat in front of the fire to warm themselves up.It's warm and toasty, so it won't be so cold if you sleep in the open air with temperatures below ten degrees Celsius.

Wang Ying came to Du Ruoli and asked in a low voice: "Sister Ah Li, tell your sister-in-law about the embroidery. My sister-in-law doesn't quite understand what she said. Let her ask you."

Du Ruoli felt a little sleepy after eating so much that she didn't understand what she meant for a moment: "It's just some interesting paintings, expressed through embroidery. My sister-in-law will know when they are embroidered."

Wang Ying touched her hair and said with a smile: "My sister-in-law is quite familiar with this area. She has old customers and friends whom she has known for many years. She wants to walk around in advance and talk about this embroidery to build momentum. When the embroidery comes out, it creates a sensation and sells for a good price... To be honest, my sister-in-law wants to make a comeback with this series of embroidery!"

It turned out to be a marketing strategy. Du Ruoli suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. She sat up straight and said, "Sister-in-law, come here. I'll tell you the whole story and how the next painting will be laid out."

Wang Ying's eyes were bright: "Speak, sister-in-law, listen."
