Chapter 174 Just live a very simple life
After all, the two men were officials in the same dynasty before they were exiled.

Being in such an embarrassing situation at this time, a trace of guilt flashed across Zhang Dayi's eyes. If he had known that if he came here today, he would be in a situation like Pang Jiming's, he would not have come to him.

So what if it's two days late?

Now it was better. He was in a dilemma. It was not good to turn around and leave. He didn't know how long he could hold on if he stayed.

After all, Pang Jiming was a very transparent person. Zhang Hanlin had a troubled look on his face. He knew the reason without asking.

After last night, Pang Jiming became more cautious and suddenly ran into Zhang Dayi. Although he did not guess what the other person's intention was at this moment, he still avoided him more carefully.

In Zhang Dayi's view, the other party was embarrassed by his reaction, so he avoided him to avoid making himself more uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhang Dayi's already embarrassed mind became even more ashamed.

"Big Man?"

On impulse, he called out to Pang Jiming.

Many prisoners passing by looked at him in surprise.

Thinking about the reason why the other party was exiled, I couldn't help but think, no wonder he was rejected by the current emperor.

This Zhang Hanlin is really a strange person.

"There's nothing wrong with it. We're all already prisoners." Pang Jiming said.

Pang Jiming hugged his wife and children and pushed them forward, saying in a low voice: "There are no Pangda people here, let's hurry up and get on our way."

Some of the looks made even Zhang Dayi extremely uncomfortable. I quickly quickened my pace and tried to catch up with the team. I went back first and discussed it later.

Pang Jiming looked at his back from behind, his thick eyebrows furrowed deeply.

Pang Jiming's past has been overturned. He doesn't think about anything now. There is only one thought in his mind, and he will try his best to protect his wife and children to the Northland safely.

Pang's wife turned back and glanced at Zhang Dayi, who was standing there with a surprised expression. She turned back and asked her husband cautiously: "Is this okay?"

The Xie family is so conspicuous, and Zhang Dayi, the former Hanlin master who has always been in and out with the Xie family and has been taken care of, no one among the prisoners knows about him.

The habit of treating others politely for many years made her subconsciously pull on her husband's sleeves and said, "Husband, Mr. Zhang is talking to you."

Watching Pang Jiming's family of four walking further and further away, he could only sigh and thought to himself, forget it, I'm afraid things will go wrong today, let's talk about it another day.

Who is the giant?
There are no adults among the prisoners.

Pang Jiming's wife heard Zhang Dayi calling him, but her husband didn't pay attention to her.

Even Fan Wu's group of people who didn't like Pang Jiming since yesterday.

There were only other people, whom he was neither interested in nor wanted to interact with.

When he shouted, Pang Jiming did not look back, but a circle of people around him turned to look at Zhang Dayi.

Zhang Dayi had a bad start and was left aside by Pang Jiming, feeling guilty and depressed.

Especially people related to the Xie family.

This time, when he passed by Pang Jiming, he nodded slightly and walked forward without saying a word.

Zhang Dayi is no stranger to the exile team.

Acting really weird.

Pang Jiming didn't think about anything else, and maybe he didn't realize it himself. The reason why he didn't like to have contact with Zhang Hanlin was because Zhang Dayi was close to the Xie family.

"That old gentleman called you Pang Pang? Were you an official before?"

To the left, a curious voice sounded.

Pang Jiming turned around and was a little surprised to see that it was Tieniu who asked this question. In his impression, Tieniu was "carefree" in the team and didn't care about other people's affairs. It was rare for the other party to take the initiative to talk to him.

I don't know if it was because of his previous curiosity about Tieniu, a young man, or because of Tieniu's "care" for their family last night, but Pang Jiming's attitude towards Tieniu was much better than his previous attitude towards Zhang Dayi.

"You're an official, I'm just a prisoner." Pang Jiming replied.

Tieniu looked at him carefully and saw that when he said this, the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, but rather curious.

"Why are you exiled too?"

"Made a mistake."

"Oh."

Pang Jiming thought he would ask him thoroughly what mistake he had made, and he was mentally preparing how he would respond if the other party asked him that. Unexpectedly, Tieniu didn't care at all why he was exiled.

Pang Jiming was a family of four, and Tieniu had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry. Because the two families slept together in a shack, they were inexplicably pushed into a pile by the people who were avoiding them.

It looks like five people are together.

Pang Jiming found that his two children seemed to be paying attention to Tieniu and were not nervous at all. Their eyes could not help but look at Tieniu secretly.

A child's reaction cannot be deceiving.

Tieniu is the only person in the team who has a slight affection for Pang Jiming since he has been in exile for many days.

Others disliked them for staying far away, but they walked very casually today. Tieniu didn't talk much and was illiterate. He occasionally heard a few idioms from the two children, and asked Pang Jiming curiously. inquire about.

After going back and forth, Tieniu got along well with Pang Jiming's family.

In Tieniu, Pang Jiming could not see the despair, numbness and darkness like other prisoners. What he saw was a penniless man who was even hobbling forward while carrying shackles. , which contains rich and powerful vitality.

The kind of power that comes from pure life.

Do not be happy with external things, nor be sad with external things.

Just live a very simple life.

Live day by day, live day by day, live happily every day.

After such a difficult journey of exile, Pang Jiming looked at Tieniu's calm and composed appearance, and his heart was moved, as if something very slight had quietly taken root from the deepest part of his heart.

Pang Jiming had been dating Tieniu for half a day, and to the naked eye, his wife could see that her husband, who had been so depressed that he fell into despair, had a change in his face.

Pang Jiming and Tieniu were chatting about what they had picked up with a branch on the ground the day before. Pang Jiming's wife secretly turned her head to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen my husband like this.

Pang Jiming's two children suffered hardships when they were young. At the age of a governor, they have high understanding.

One left and one right beside her mother, the eldest daughter said in a very low voice: "Mom, dad seems to be very happy."

The younger son also nodded.

She looked up at her husband and the young prisoner Tieniu who were walking in front.

His eyes were a little hot, this scene seemed familiar. In the past, my husband and his colleagues, the water officials, seemed to be quite patient when they explained the benefits of water control to the farmers on both sides of the river.

She really didn't understand why an official like her husband, who devoted all his energy to river work and only benefited the people, ended up in such a situation. What kind of officials did the court want to do things?

When the team took a break halfway through, Pang Jiming sat next to his wife, his face brighter than ever before.

"Brother Tieniu may not be good at writing, but I think his level of conduct is much higher than others."
