After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 39 Xie Yuchuan’s traditional skills

May I ask if your family’s deity protects the spirit?
When asked this question, the Xie brothers were completely stunned!

Which god can completely protect his soul?

What's more, they are only thanking the family god.

Xie Wenjie said: "I'm afraid the young master may have misunderstood my Xie family's gods. The Xie family's gods have been handed over."

Xie Wuying, who has always been straightforward, did not speak at all at this time, but looked up and down at Chai Jin in front of her.

Chai Jin looked at the two people's reactions, then he looked apologetic and said, "I'm sorry, I was rash."

Xie Wenjie said calmly: "Nothing. Does Prince Chai have anything else to do?"

Chai Jin said: "Sorry for disturbing you."

After saying that, the two of them bowed to each other and left with the water bag.

Xie Wenjie looked at his leaving figure, frowned and said: "It's strange that suddenly asking the gods whether it works or not, the Xie family's gods have been handed over, and the Chai family doesn't know about it? Don't you think so, Hezhi?"

Beside him, Xie Wuying said nothing.

Xie Wenjie turned to look at him, "Why don't you speak?"

"I was wondering why Chai Jin suddenly asked this question." Xie Wuying held a water bag in both hands and looked at the direction Chai Jin left with a strange expression.

Xie Wenjie felt the same way, "There are also a lot of people from the Chai family exiled this time, more than ten people."

"Go back and talk to Sixth Brother first. He knows more about the high sect in the capital than we do."

"it is good."

After the two returned, they told Xie Yuchuan about the matter.

Xie Yuchuan was also a little surprised. He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked, "Did Chai Jin only ask this question?"

"That's all I asked." The two replied.

Xie Yuchuan could not imagine why the Chai family would suddenly ask such a question.

"Everyone in the capital knows about the centuries-old rumors about the Xie family. The Chai family is a prominent family in Huaizhou. When the late emperor went to the south of the Yangtze River, Mr. Chai rescued the emperor and generously donated money to help the late emperor put down the rebellion in the southwest. Chai The family received the royal title, and was rewarded with thousands of acres of fertile land, countless gold, silver and jewels, and the title of baronetcy was hereditary for three generations."

Xie Wenjie said aside: "It's a pity that the second generation is gone."

Xie Yuchuan said nothing.

Xie Wuying said: "Sixth brother, I feel that there is something wrong with Chai Jin."

Xie Yuchuan nodded, "No problem, just wait and see what happens."

There is no problem, why would this question suddenly arise?

He had some guesses in his mind, and looked at the Chai family in the distance with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

After traveling for a day, towards evening, the sky was getting dark.

As soon as the person rested, exhaustion swept over him. Not to mention the prisoners, even the officers and soldiers escorting him were really tired.

After discussing with several leading government officials, Xiong Jiushan decided to find a safe place to rest near the river for the time being. Tomorrow, he would have another rest when he passed Gaojiacun, twenty miles ahead, and then go straight to Panlongling. Rest and go all the way through the forest and across the river to avoid getting into trouble there.

None of the subordinates had any objections, so the matter was settled.

The prisoners were very happy when they heard that they could camp near the river tonight. They didn't have to be hungry and thirsty like before.

There is a forest not far from the other side of the Songjiang River. The forest is sparse but the terrain is higher than the river. It is approaching evening, and from time to time on the road, we will pass some households driving back into the city.

The car carried nearby villagers, carrying baskets and bags sitting next to each other. When passing by the place where the exiles were resting, they were startled by a group of people in official uniforms. They nervously hugged the things in their arms and urged the driver to hurry up. Walk.

For most of the prisoners, they are not interested in anything else except survival. Many of them have the shadow of the previous beatings and dare not move even after taking a rest. It was not until they saw some people coming and going by the river that it seemed that there was not much danger. Follow him there to drink water or wash your clothes. Xie Yuchuan was lying cross-legged on the ground with his clothes half pulled open, exposing the wounds on his body. He was applying medicine while observing everything around him.

The bullock cart passing by in a hurry aroused his interest, especially the expressions on the faces of the people on the cart, which were uneasy and panicked.

Zhang Hanlin, not far away, also discovered this.

Stroking his half-length beard, he kept watching the farmers leaving, "Officers, soldiers and civilians have been walking here for many years, why are they so panicked?"

The old mother was resting, and no one answered her.

Zhang Dayi turned around and saw Xie Yuchuan's eyes staring in the same direction. Their eyes touched and they found that both seemed to have doubts about this subtle discovery.

Zhang Hanlin nodded slightly, and Xie Yuchuan lowered his head gently.

——There may be problems ahead.

——There will be strange things in the journey ahead.

Xie Wuying has been holding the water bag in her arms since she came back. Xie Wenjie occasionally wanted to take a sip, but Xie Wuying looked hesitant.

Xie Wenjie really thought he was strange.

"Hezhi, is there something on your mind?"

Xie Wuying shook his head.

"Give me a drink."

Xie Wuying picked up another water bag from his side and handed it to him. Xie Wenjie looked at the one in his arms with a strange expression.

Xie Yuchuan raised his head and glanced at the sky, then gathered up the clothes on his shoulders. The new injuries on his body had healed a lot. However, he still had a feeling of stagnation of Qi and blood from the hidden injuries in his body when he was doing the exercises. It would take a few days before he could move more freely.

In the afternoon, the family god asked him to find a suitable time in the evening, and he felt that after sunset was the right time.

When the officers and men began to set up a bonfire in the camp, it meant that they would rest here tonight.

The prisoners' food was no different from before. Whether they were full or hungry, the rest was up to fate.

This has always been a rule on the road to exile. It neither makes people so hungry that they cannot walk nor makes them hungry enough to have the strength to escape. The half-dead ones are just the right escort.

Now that the team has just set off, we won’t be too harsh on them. In order to catch up with the journey, the journey before leaving the customs will not be too overwhelming. It’s just that the walking is tiring and the energy is exhausted.

But the prisoners knew in their hearts that the weather would get colder outside the customs, and they really didn't know what day it would be.

More than 20 people from the Xie family gathered together for dinner. After walking for a day today, everyone was very tired. Mrs. Ruan took out the food sent by the Ruan family and said that everyone should share it together so that they could continue on the road tomorrow if they had enough strength.

Everyone is indeed tired and hungry today.

But even if the young mistress had food in her hand, the little bit was not enough for everyone to share. After Xie Yuchuan took care of the wound, he got up and planned to cut a branch to make a harpoon.

Anyway, the Songjiang River is right next to it, a ready source of food.

The Xie family left two men to look after the women, while the others followed Xie Yuchuan to fish.

The officers did not care what the prisoners did tonight, but they were not allowed to leave the designated rest area. There were already many people on the riverside with their trousers rolled up looking for food.

There are fish in the river that are difficult to catch, and the water level is unknown. However, some of the prisoners are good at water. They took off their clothes and swam a few laps. When they came ashore, they carried the fish ashore with their gills.

The fish were hard to eat without fire, so they caught one or two more and sent them to the officers and soldiers for fire. The family gathered firewood and lit a fire to grill the fish, which made the prisoners around them envious.

There were also many people who saw the men of the Xie family cutting branches and making harpoons into the river, and followed them to learn how to enter the water.

However, the harvest was not as good as that of the Xie family, especially Xie Yuchuan.
