Chapter 38
The official, Ma Youcai, urged everyone to pack their things and approached Ding Yu to ask: "Boss, it's too dangerous for us to travel now, why don't we wait until tomorrow."

Ding Yu sighed and said helplessly: "I don't know, but our food supply has bottomed out."

"So fast?"

"There are a lot of prisoners here. I originally thought I would rush on my way today and find a nearby town to stay in for the night to facilitate supplies. I didn't expect that it would rain heavily for most of the day. If I didn't rush on the road at night, everyone would probably be dead tomorrow. They all have to starve.”

Ma Youcai fell silent.

On the way to exile, they must maintain sufficient physical strength so that they can face various emergencies.

For the prisoners in exile, they had to neither deny the prisoners food nor make them full.

The reason why prisoners were not fed was to prevent them from escaping on the road to exile.

Traveling is hard work, and the prisoners cannot be delayed in eating. Otherwise, the prisoners will not see any hope of going to the penal colony, and it will easily lead to riots and collective escape among the exiled prisoners.

So far today, except for the money in exchange for food, the other prisoners have only received a small piece of multigrain cake. They will definitely not be able to go hungry for another day.

If the prisoners really escaped en masse, and they, the officials, had not eaten and lacked physical strength, even if they let one or two prisoners escape, it would be a big deal.

These links are intertwined. It seems that they must rush to a village and town where they can stay tonight to replenish daily necessities and food as soon as possible.

Ding Yu put his arm around Ma Youcai's shoulders and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's okay. There are so many of us, even if we encounter one or two wild beasts, we can deal with them with just a handful of strength."

"Okay, then listen to you."

Under the urging of the official, everyone set out reluctantly.

Ding Yu's words were not heard by Su Mo. If Su Mo heard them, he wouldn't know whether to cry or laugh. What Ding Yu was worried about shouldn't be the beast at all.

Wild beasts often appear in the wild, but before the rain stops, the wild beasts will only hide in caves and rarely come out.

After being washed away by rain, the road was very muddy.

Deep pits with standing water are everywhere.

Everyone in the exile team also had one step deep and one step shallow, making walking extremely difficult.

The mud was very slippery, and shoes would get embedded in the mud from time to time, and then they would be dug out and put on again.

Su Mo and others wore straw sandals, which effectively prevented them from being slippery, but water could not avoid pouring into the soles.

This time on the road, Su Mo took the initiative to carry Yan Yi on his back.

The road was full of potholes, and Zhang Guilan's movements were not as responsive as hers.

In addition, she had just injured Yan Yi's back not long ago, and she was already feeling guilty. People were always watching her in the cave, and she couldn't spare the time to check Yan Yi's wounds.

She was safer walking with someone on her back than Zhang Guilan walking by herself, so she could only try to avoid Yan Yi's wound from being injured again.

Su Mo felt Yan Yi shaking behind her, and then she called Su Mo in a low voice: "Madam."

"what happened?"

Yan Yi always felt a thump in his heart and an ominous premonition.

"I don't feel good inside."

"How can you still believe in this sixth sense that has no reason?"

In fact, Su Mo also had a bad premonition. She also thought that if something unavoidable happened, she would escape from the team and not be exiled.

As for Yan Yi's injury, he could only leave it to fate.

After all, no matter how much she repays someone's kindness and feels guilty, she still has to take responsibility for her own life.

Just listen to Yan Yi whispering on her back: "If something happens, just leave me alone, take care of yourself, and take care of your mother."

Yan Yi knew that he was a burden if he was injured. If anything happened, he would be a burden if he was with him.

"Shut your crow mouth, my aunt will always turn disaster into good luck, and it's a heavy rain. How can you be so compassionate here?"

Su Mo was angry. Originally, she was planning to run away alone when something happened without any mental pressure. But what Yan Yi said now made her feel uncomfortable.

Could it be that Yan Yi, a bitch, could read minds and see through her desire to be alone. "I mean just in case." Yan Yi's voice was still small and a little serious.

Su Mo whispered back: "I understand, don't worry too much, get some sleep quickly, I'm here, everything will be fine."

I don't know whether it was because he was too tired or because he trusted Su Mo, but Yan Yi actually fell asleep on Su Mo's back.

Su Mo walked and observed the surrounding environment.

Although they were traveling at a slow speed, they hadn't noticed anything after traveling for an hour, which made Su Mo feel a little more relaxed.

It's just that the exiled people didn't eat much for a day, so they couldn't help but complain.

"I'm so hungry. Let's take a rest."

"I only had one meal today, I'm so hungry."

"There is only a small piece of multigrain pancake, and even children can't bear it, let alone us adults."

"Master, stop for a moment and let us have something to eat."

"I really want to rest."

"Mainly because I'm too hungry."

"I can't walk anymore, I really want to eat."

The officials had no choice. They also knew that everyone was tired and hungry, and many of them were injured. However, there was no food now, so the officials had to keep the remaining dry food for themselves.

They could only wave their whips and shout: "Don't make any noise and hurry up."

The leading officer, Ding Yu, thought for a while and shouted: "As long as you get to the nearest town before dawn, I will let you eat white/noodle steamed buns tomorrow morning."

After hearing that there were white/noodle steamed buns to eat, everyone really gained strength.

"Let's go for a full meal tomorrow morning!"

"I want to eat, I have to fight hard."

"Let's go, let's all hurry up."

"Get to the place early, rest early, and eat early."

Because the leading officer, Ding Yu, took over this exile mission, he had read the geographical records and had a certain understanding of the route.

According to the route he had seen before, if they traveled at a normal speed, they would be able to get out of this dense forest in half an hour.

After leaving the dense forest, we were not far from the villages and towns.

Su Mo, who had been observing the surrounding environment, suddenly heard a strange noise in the distance.

Several rocks rolled down the hillside.

Immediately afterwards, a black torrent rushed towards the exiled crowd like a copper wall with thunderous momentum.

She didn't have time to think too much and shouted quickly: "Get up the tree, quickly."

Before the leading officer Ding Yu had time to think, he also heard the movement and decisively issued an order: "Everyone get up the tree, quickly, quickly, quickly."

As soon as Ding Yu finished speaking, a large number of trees and rocks rolled down on the hillside in the distance.

A raging mudslide, mixed with trees, rocks, and sand, rushed down.

"Rumble..."

"Rumble..."

There was a huge sound like thunder all around.

The speed of the mudslide is very fast, as fast as a ferocious beast, sweeping downwards ferociously and crazily at all obstacles it encounters.
