Chapter 18 Exile

The refugees on the ground didn't say anything and just crawled to the side silently.

The woman was still cursing and swearing, and the people around her looked at her with disgust on their faces, but no one said anything to stop her.

Lan Yue glanced and then looked away. It seemed better to stay away from these people.

Gu Yan also saw that these people should be exiles.

Even though there are no officials around to force them to leave, who knows if someone is doing this deliberately behind the scenes?
Nanzhou... When he settles down, he will definitely take the imperial examination, and those people...

"Save the child, adults, who is the doctor? Save my child!"

"Cough cough..."

Inside the carriage.

Awakened by someone outside, the man opened his eyes with some impatience in them.

Even though he was wearing cheap cloth, one could still see the temperament of a rich young man.

This person is the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo, Xu Yi.

The population of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion who were exiled to Nanzhou were exiled in batches. Some of the collateral relatives were exiled to other places. The direct descendants who were able to be exiled to Nanzhou were also able to be exiled to a place with a good environment and close to the capital.

In fact, they could have taken fewer detours during their exile, but some people, for safety reasons, naturally had to take a detour to reach Nanzhou. The purpose was obvious.

Xu Yi was good friends with the second prince in the capital, so he was able to get a carriage on his way to exile. As for the others, they all walked.

"Why is it so noisy outside?"

Xu Yi called his personal butler, who approached the carriage window and said, "Sir, they are some refugees, and they look like they are sick."

Xu Yi's butler is not an ordinary butler. Xu Yi glanced out the window and said, "Speed ​​up and stay away from these people."

Since he is sick, he cannot get infected.

"what!!"

"What are you doing? Your hands are so dirty. You scratched my clothes. Can you afford to pay for it?"

"Go away!"

"Chunfeng, hurry up! Get these people away!"

The girl is the fourth daughter of the direct lineage and also the youngest child in the direct lineage. Her temper has been spoiled since childhood.

Xu Rou hid behind the maid, Chunfeng, her eyes filled with deep disgust.

These damn low-class refugees actually made her skirt dirty!

If it weren't for the incident in her family, she could have just killed these people!
Following next to her was a concubine's daughter, born to an aunt. There was only one aunt in the Duke of Huguo's mansion, and the others were maids. She had eight or nine children in total.

Xu Yin looked at Xu Rou with gloating. This fourth sister was too arrogant and didn't understand the situation at all. If she angered the other party, she would definitely suffer the consequences.

Aunt Li glanced at Xu Rou indifferently. This Fourth Young Lady was not someone she could control, so she couldn't cause trouble.

Xu Qi also glanced at Xu Rou and chose to ignore her.

The legitimate sons in the carriage didn't say anything, so there was no need for him to meddle in other people's business. After all, they were all on opposite sides of the fence. If it weren't for the reputation of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, he would have had no contact with the legitimate branch.

Xu Yi listened to what was said outside, frowning. He didn't expect his fourth sister to be so ignorant! The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is not as good as before, but she is still so ignorant. If his parents hadn't insisted that his fourth sister go with him first, he wouldn't want to take this troublemaker with him!

"Butler Liu, tell the fourth young lady to be more restrained. The Duke of Huguo's Mansion is not as good as before." Even though they still have someone to protect them, this is not the time to cause trouble. If they ruin the Second Prince's plan, it will be more trouble than gain. Butler Liu responded, and when Chunfeng, the maid, knocked the man down, he walked to Xu Rou and told her Xu Yi's words in a neither loud nor quiet voice.

Xu Rou curled her lips and looked at the dirt on the hem of her skirt and snorted.

After Chunfeng knocked the man down, she retreated behind Xu Rou, her eyes full of disgust.

These people are so dirty!

it stink!!

Those people didn't have the strength to fight back, but they were smart enough to put some liquid on those people. If these people were infected by the liquid flowing out of their bodies, they would suffer the same pain as them!
"Get away! Get away!!"

Because there were so many people, the Xu family couldn't stop them at all. Those people pounced on them and smeared something all over them.

The foul smell made their stomachs churn.

Lan Yue and the others didn't pay much attention to what happened at the Xu family.

After walking for a while, I found a place to shelter from the sun and rested there.

"Gu Yan, your feet don't hurt, do they?" Lan Yue glanced at Gu Yan's feet. She had added a little spiritual spring water to the water they drank these days. Otherwise, with the physical conditions of Gu Yan and the others, it would be impossible for them to not feel tired after so many days.

Gu Yan: "I'm almost well now. It doesn't hurt to walk anymore."

Lan Yue nodded and said, that’s good.

After drinking some water, they continued on their way.

Even though they avoided crowded places, they met many refugees from all over the world along the way.

There were all kinds of people, old, weak, sick and disabled. There were constant coughing and some people kept scratching themselves.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to rest for the night."

When they found a place away from the crowd to sit down and rest.

People from the Xu family also rushed over, and they looked a little disheveled.

"Sir, let's find a place to rest for the night?" Manager Liu frowned as he looked at the crowd gathered in front of him. He felt that there was something wrong with these people.

Xu Yi got off the carriage and looked at the scene in front of him, feeling disgusted.

"Set up camp where there are few people."

Lan Yue's mental strength has reached about level five. She had already felt the Xu family coming over, but she didn't expect that the place they were looking for was right next to them, less than twenty meters away.

Lan Yue and the others were already cooking and grilling meat. The aroma was floating in the air and anyone who was close to them could smell it.

The Xu family swallowed their saliva and looked at the family of four across from them surrounded by firelight, and couldn't help but feel envious.

They also brought meat with them, but they had almost eaten it all on the way to exile. If they ate meat tonight, they would have no meat tomorrow or on the rest of the way, unless they could pass through some small towns on their way.

Lan Yue and the others could feel that someone was watching them, but what did it matter?

Could it be that these people could come and rob? Even if they came to rob, they would find a way to get rid of them.

"Lan Yue, what diseases do you think these refugees have?" Gu Yan was flipping the grilled meat, his thoughts drifting to the refugees not far away.

"It should be a contagious disease, right?" Lan Yue actually guessed that these people were infected with the plague, but she had never seen what the plague looked like. She had only seen it in novels. In this kind of weather, it would be strange if they didn't get sick.

 System: Master, you don’t want to do any tasks anymore?
