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

Chapter 398: Doing things requires the right opportunity
Behind the group of fugitives was another trusted subordinate of Xiong Jiushan who was escorting them.

After being separated from the team, Mrs. Xie and other elderly, weak, women and children were arranged to walk at the back of the team.

The team had a lot of carriages and horses. When they were resting halfway, another caravan came from behind. The leader was a Taoist priest in a long robe. When passing by the Xie family, he happened to see Zhang Dayi, the only man in the Xie family.

Zhang Dayi was already familiar with the disguise of Mr. Han. He felt a little nervous when he saw him coming with people. But after seeing those dozens of strong "outsiders", he felt much more at ease.

He leaned forward and whispered a few words in Madam Xie's ear, and Madam Xie's serious expression could not help but move slightly.

"It is so."

Behind the exile team, there was not only the Min family caravan, but also a lot of people behind the town. Many of the exiles who were forcibly separated by the officials, after finding out what was going on, showed some joy on their faces.

I originally thought that everyone was being pulled out and abandoned because they were weak, but I didn't expect that what the adults said at the inn was right.

When Xiong Jiushan came to find Xie Yuchuan, Tu Huan temporarily unlocked the automatic mode and turned the car to the back.

They were talking about something, but she wasn't very interested in listening, so she went to stand by the side of the Xie family's women and watch.

Seeing the expressions of the convicts behind her change from tense and depressed to relaxed, Tu Huan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

I don’t know if it’s because she has stayed in Daliang for a long time that she feels more integrated.

She raised her head and looked forward. Since the destination was still two hours away, she decided not to go ahead and just follow the women behind.

Madam Zhou supported Madam Xie and walked forward step by step, leaning on a wooden stick. Tu Huan soon discovered that although Xiong Jiushan was in the front, the entire team's progress was a bit slow.

The fugitives at the back of the team still had some difficulty keeping up.

Suddenly, there was a cry of "Ouch" in the team, and a child tripped over a hard rock and fell to the ground. Tu Huan heard the sound and turned around, and saw a somewhat familiar face.

That child...seems to be Pang Jiming’s daughter?

She had just turned the front of the rickshaw when her eyes flashed and she saw a figure approaching and helping Pang's wife to lift up her daughter who had fallen to the ground.

The little girl sprained her ankle and tears welled up in her eyes. The moment she moved, she could not help wailing, leaving her mother Pang's wife at a loss. The little son on her back was also awakened by the shaking. With his eyes still blurry and not knowing what was happening, he struggled to climb down from his mother's body.

On the rosy little face, a pair of big eyes found her tearful sister. When she saw her elder sister's ankle bleeding, she was so scared that she perked up in an instant!

"Sister! Sister! What happened to your foot?"

Xie Zhen supported the little girl, and Pang's wife squatted down to check her daughter's wound. She cried silently with heartache, pulled up the corner of her clothes and was about to bite off a bandage, but suddenly a hand in front of her stopped her.

Looking up, it was the second daughter of the Xie family who was kicked out by the banker.

"Mrs. Pang, here, use this."

A roll of white gauze bandage lay in Xie Zhen's palm.

Mrs. Pang was stunned for a moment and waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, Madam Zhuang, this bandage is too expensive, we are unworthy of it." After saying that, she still planned to tear off the corner of her clothes.

Knowing that her husband had always disliked having anything to do with the Xie family, she declined Xie Zhen's kindness in a moment of desperation.

Tu Huan saw them from a distance, pondered for a moment, got off the deer-horn cart, put on her clothes, and walked not far from the two of them.

The team naturally would not stop because of their delay. When the people behind passed by, they all took a detour. The officials next to them kept urging them, which made people even more anxious.

Ever since she separated from her husband Pang Jiming at noon, Pang's wife felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on her heart, and she was panicked and afraid.

As it happened, in the afternoon, her son's body started to get hot again. She didn't know what to do when her child got sick in the cold weather. The people around her could only take care of themselves. Occasionally, one or two other elderly people would express their concern, but they couldn't help much. Her son was not feeling well, so she reluctantly carried him on her back, and walked slowly so that the child could take a nap. Unexpectedly, her daughter had another accident.

For a moment, a feeling of grievance welled up in my throat, but I couldn't be weak.

In fact, Xie Zhen had already seen her staggering with the child on her back when he turned back inadvertently.

I hesitated several times along the way, wondering whether I should go over to help.

Even her mother, the Third Madam Shen, noticed the strange behavior and said, "Ah, she is also a pitiful person."

Zhang Dayi's old eyes were sharp. He noticed Xie Zhen's thoughts. He stroked his beard and said to Xie Zhen as they walked: "On this road, the people of the Pang family always kept a distance from us. Pang Jiming didn't want to have any contact with the Xie family. I think his wife must have been warned by her husband. She rushed forward rashly, and the second Miss Xie threatened the other party."

Zhang Dayi has experience in this matter.

As long as he remembered that he had deliberately approached Pang Jiming before, he would remember the smell at that time...

Xie Zhen looked back at her several times, and seeing that she could still hold on, he did not move for the time being.

Zhang Dayi said: "We have to wait for the right opportunity to do good deeds."

Xie Zhen had to listen to the words of his elders. Even when Old Lady Xie heard this, she thought for a moment and agreed with Zhang Dayi's words.

"The Pang family is wary of us now. If you rush forward, it will be easy to scare them. Moreover, among the exiles, there are old, weak, women and children around. If you help one person for no reason, how will others see it? Don't worry, just don't stand by and watch when you need to help."

With the incident at Wulibao in the past, the Xie family's generous donation left a great impact among the exiles.

At least later on, the Xie family rarely heard others say sarcastic words in front of them.

However, because of the Xie family’s status, there are always some people who stay away from them.

And the Pang family is one of them.

Pang Jiming was very smart. He protected his wife and children. He neither offended the exiled family like the Xie family, nor did he get close to them.

Zhang Dayi tried to win over the other party several times, but was made to retreat by the invisible aura of "don't come over here" emanating from the other party.

After being divided into two teams of strong and weak, to be honest, Zhang Dayi's almost dying mind came back to life.

He also saw the difficulties Pang's wife was going through, but as a man, he could do nothing when Pang Jiming was not around.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zhen had some ideas.

Zhang Dayi feels that some things may depend on chance.

Seeing her panic-stricken expression, Xie Zhen tugged at the corner of his clothes twice without any movement. He sighed silently and squatted down.

"Mrs. Pang, let me do it. The girl has injured her ankle. How can she walk on the road? It's a waste of suffering. I have some medicine here that is just right for her condition."

"It is important to treat the child first. If Madam Pang feels bad, can you help me with some handicrafts later?"

As he spoke, he took out a hemostatic and anti-inflammatory medicine from his waist, applied it to the child, and skillfully bandaged the injured area before getting up.

"By the way, Madam Pang, I have left the Zhuang family. Next time, just call me Second Miss Xie."
