After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Chapter 44 There may be a general amnesty for the world

Zhou Shiruo heard this and was indignant, "Damn it, it's so abominable, we are already like this, why are they still unwilling to let us go?"

Zhou Yancheng comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I am still valuable to His Majesty. They have not dared to do anything blatantly in recent years, so they can only use these methods."

Zhou Shitang lowered his eyes slightly.

The book describes that the third brother died after falling down the hillside, and the others died one after another a few years later.

That's right what my father said.

So they have been safe in recent years.

Zhou Shiruo's mood gradually calmed down, but she was still a little confused, "Dad, did the government servants on our exile road not do anything excessive to us? Was it for your sake?"

She heard that prisoners would be mistreated by government officials, but apart from sometimes not having enough to eat during their exile, they were not mistreated by those people.

Even walking without shackles or handcuffs.

Zhou Yancheng hummed: "I once helped the yamen chief, so he secretly helped us a lot along the way."

"No wonder I always feel that he has been speaking for us along the way, but there is no obvious evidence." Zhou Shitang suddenly realized, and then said, "Dad, those people who have been targeting us are sent by those who want to harm us. People."

"The head of the government office has been speaking for us. Will he be killed and silenced after he returns?"

Zhou Yancheng glanced at Zhou Shitang with a smile, and was happy that his daughters thought of this, "It is indeed those people who sent him, but don't worry too much, the head of the Yamen has a family working with the regent, and he will be fine. "

Zhou Shitang said, "It'll be fine."

Otherwise, she would feel bad if someone killed her family because she helped them.

Zhou Shiruo had new doubts, "It's such a hard job to escort us to Lingnan. Since the head of the Yamen has a family working with the regent, why doesn't he refuse?"

Zhou Shitang ate some pork, took another sip of soup, and said casually: "Maybe it's to thank dad?"

Zhou Shiruo couldn't help but laugh, "Maybe."

Shi Qingxiao took a look at the simple kitchen and said, "I think we should find someone to build one or two houses and add a building to the kitchen, otherwise it will be bad when it rains."

"You can't eat outdoors on rainy days. You have to eat inside the house."

Zhou Shitang smiled and nodded, "I feel the same way, and I want to get together with my mother."

"I asked Su Huaili, he knows how to build an earth house. Should we build an earth house or a wooden house? Uncle Zeng's house is a wooden house, but it is more complicated."

Zhou Yancheng was already full. He put down his bowl and chopsticks, tapped his fingers on the table, and thought for a long time, "Since the earth house is simple, let's build the earth house first."

It will be the Queen Mother's [-]th birthday in half a year, and the emperor may grant a general amnesty.

However, he could not guess for the time being whether the Zhou family would be released.

"Then I'll tell Su Huaili tomorrow and ask him to come over and help." Zhou Shitang said.

Shi Qingxiao saw that their masters were not in a hurry and couldn't help but urge, "When you're full, hurry up and clean up. It's going to be dark soon, and there are no candles for you now."

After the family had finished eating, after hearing Shi Qingxiao's words, they quickly packed the table, stools, and chopsticks.

Zhou Shitang and Zhou Shiruo gathered medicinal materials and mushrooms.

Shi Qingxiao went to water the vegetables.

inside the house.

After Zhou Shiye finished eating, he pursed his lips with an expression as if he had eaten arsenic. He put the bowls and chopsticks aside and listened to the conversations of several people outside.He felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach, so he put his hand on his stomach and covered it, trying to ease his mood.

"vomit!"

Zhou Shiye endured it again and again, but couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and vomited.

The vomit was spread on the floor and a small amount fell onto the bed.

Zhou Shitang packed up the mushrooms and medicinal materials, walked out and heard the sound of Zhou Shiye vomiting, and immediately ran into the next room.

Seeing the filth all over the ground, she was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhou Shiye, "Third brother, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Zhou Shiruo also ran in behind Zhou Shitang, looking at Zhou Shiye with the same concern.

Zhou Shiye was still vomiting. He stopped after vomiting all the contents in his stomach. His face was pale and he was sweating coldly.

He tried his best to sit up, leaned his back against the wall, and said feebly: "I have nothing to do, maybe it's because I ate the wowotou that fell on the floor for lunch."

Zhou Shitang knew about Zhou Shiye's mysophobia, but she didn't expect it to be severe enough to cause vomiting. She poured a glass of water, walked to the bedside avoiding the filth, and handed the water to Zhou Shiye.

Zhou Shitang: "Third brother, you'd better not eat anything that falls on the ground from now on. It's better to be hungry than to vomit it up after eating it."

"Yes." Zhou Shiruo nodded, "If you eat it and then spit it out, it will be a waste. Third brother, if you can't eat anything that falls on the ground in the future, you can give it to me. I won't mind it."

When Shi Qingxiao walked in and saw his son's weak appearance, he felt distressed and said, "Aye, are you hungry?"

Zhou Shiye shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Zhou Shitang looked at Zhou Shiye and said, "If you're not hungry now, you will be hungry later. There's still one night left."

Zhou Shiruo turned his head and said, "Mom, go make some food for Third Brother. Tangtang and I will clean up the room."

Shi Qingxiao hummed: "Then be careful and don't knock yourself anywhere."

Zhou Shiruo picked up a broom and went to clean up the filth.

The kitchen is very close to the room and you can hear voices.

Zhou Shimu finished washing the dishes, walked over and took the broom from Zhou Shiruo's hand, "Aruo, I'll come, you go and have a rest nearby."

Zhou Shiruo handed it over and said, "Then I'll get some water and wash it in, in case the third brother vomits again later."

Zhou Shiye was helpless, "I don't know what to do now, and I don't want to do this."

Life at home was already difficult. He vomited after eating and asked his mother to make it for him again. This was a waste of food.

It was equivalent to him eating for two people by himself.

Zhou Shitang comforted, "Third brother, don't always think that this is dirty stuff, otherwise your subconscious mind will think that everything you eat is dirty stuff, and the more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you will be."

Zhou Shiye lowered his head, "I saw some black spots on the chopsticks. I knew those things couldn't be washed off, so I couldn't hold it back. I don't want to think about it anymore. I will get rid of my bad habits so that you won't worry. .”

Zhou Shitang's eyes shifted to the bowls and chopsticks aside, and he did see some black stains. "Then let's make some new chopsticks tomorrow. Chopsticks are quite simple. Just chop some bamboo and peel it."

Zhou Shimu cleaned up the dirt and felt that he should make some new chopsticks. "Then I will chop bamboo to make bowls and chopsticks tomorrow."

"I've caused trouble for you." Zhou Shizhi felt very uncomfortable.

He was injured and couldn't help with the work at home, so he still needed his family to take care of him.
