One of the escorting officers said sarcastically: "If there's not enough room for them, let them live outside! It's not raining anyway, so it's good to have a place to live. How can we expect them to live in an inn? They are prisoners, not here to enjoy themselves." …”
The lame officer had no choice but to arrange for the prisoners to live in the corridor. Under these conditions, the prisoners had no right to be picky. Even the difference between men and women was not important. As a family unit, everyone found a flatter place to lie down. .
However, some prisoners who were dissatisfied with this situation wanted to ask the guards for advice, but instead of being able to do so, they were whipped. The gains outweighed the losses, so Lan Shichu gave up his thoughts.
When the moon set in the sky, everyone was sleeping like a dead pig. Lan Shichu quietly got up, knocked out the two guards guarding the prisoners, and went into the woods. When she was sure that no one would come in suddenly, she He used a piece of iron wire to open his shackles, then entered the companion space and took a good bath.
After the original owner was captured, he first lived in prison, and then followed everyone on the way to the place of exile. He never took a bath again, and his whole body was rancid and smelled bad. But everyone is in this situation, and Once you get used to it, you won't feel so uncomfortable.
But now she was separated from the large army. As soon as she entered her own space, the smell on her body was particularly obvious. She almost threw up from the smell. She quickly entered a house and washed her whole body several times. I used up half a bottle of shower gel and finally washed myself clean. After washing myself, I felt like I had lost a few pounds.
It was impossible for her to wear those dirty and smelly clothes anymore. She found a set of dark-colored, strong and durable clothes of a similar style in the space and put them on. She felt that she finally looked like a human being. She really suffered from being exiled. , no wonder many prisoners who are exiled every year fail to reach their destination of exile and die on the way. Anyone who can survive such an ordeal is a ruthless person. Either they are in excellent health, or they have extremely strong mental endurance and willpower. powerful.
The original owner was neither of these two people, so she died on the road with one body and two lives, becoming cannon fodder.
Gong Liangxian was very powerful. Although he was disfigured and had his arm broken in the end, he was still safe and protected his wife and children. He successfully took his wife and children until he was rescued by his younger brother.
If Gongliang's family had not suffered such a catastrophe, he would have gradually become a powerful minister in the court. Unfortunately, he was unlucky. After his exile, his body and appearance were damaged, and he could no longer be an official. He could only stay at home and live in gloom. A lifetime of unrealized ambitions.
Lan Shichu thought for a while, then found the makeup box, covered his skin with black and gray makeup, made himself look dirty again, messed up his hair, and used concealer and other things to smear his shoes into tatters Her unbearable look was almost the same as before she entered the space, and then she left the space.
She couldn't stay too long, or it would be inappropriate to be discovered missing.
On the road after that, although many people in the Gongliang family were still old, weak, sick and pregnant, they all managed to persevere and never fell down again. Liu and Gongliangqin survived with the help of Lan Shichu. After the calamity of death, there will be no more death.
Lan Shichu knew that Gong Liang Subai would soon catch up quietly disguised as a businessman on the same road, and then the Gong Liang family would no longer have to worry about her.
It's just that Gong Liangxian was hit by the policeman's whip because of his two children, leaving scars on his face, but his arm was not broken.
On this day, Lan Shichu was still walking and exercising her internal strength as usual when she suddenly heard the sound of carriage wheels coming from behind. She looked back and saw a group of about two dozen meters away. A caravan of more than ten people caught up and arrived in a short while.
The officer escorting the prisoners alertly stopped the convoy and asked: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
A steward on horseback in front of the caravan smiled and said to the officer: "My lord, please forgive me. We are a caravan from Linxian County. We want to transport the goods to Yucheng to sell. I saw that the lord led a group of people and left in a hurry." It’s so majestic, we just want to get closer and walk with the officials to gain some glory, so that the robbers along the way will not dare to try to take our chances..."
After hearing this, the officer saw that behind him were carriages and horses carrying goods, as well as some bodyguards to protect him. He believed him and only gave a warning: "You can go together, but you can't get too close. You can only follow behind. We are escorting prisoners, and no one else can get close!"
They say they can't get close, but in fact, as long as you give them enough money, everything will be easy.
The officers escorted the prisoners for almost a month, eating solid food until their teeth almost broke. However, these caravans that had just set off brought a lot of delicious food, so the officers couldn't help but buy some food from them. They even gradually started chatting about the nearby route and terrain.
And the prisoners who were being escorted could not help but secretly start transactions with the people in the caravan, trying to buy some food and medicine. However, almost all the money on these prisoners was searched, even if they were finally hidden. There was only a small amount, not much, so the prisoners had very few transactions with the caravans, and the guards turned a blind eye. After all, the sky was high and the emperor was far away. As long as they didn't tell, who would know?
If too many prisoners died and went to the place of exile, it would be difficult for the officers to explain to the local officials, so they would be left to make small transactions with the caravans.
The Gongliang family also collected some money, which was mostly broken silver or some worthless hair accessories on the women's heads. After all, the valuable ones had long been taken away by the officials.
But surprisingly, these few valuable things were exchanged for a lot of food and medicine.
"The eldest brother who led the team was really a good person. When he saw that our family consisted of old, young and pregnant women, he gave us so many things half sold and half given away." Gong Liangxian, who used to do business, took the things in hiding. When he came out, he sighed and said.
When Lan Shichu heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh. What would Gong Liangxian's expression be like if he knew that the kind brother he spoke of was actually his biological brother?
Yes, the eldest brother who leads the team is Gongliang Subai. He is here just for his family, and of course he will be especially kind to Gongliang's family.
Realizing that a probing gaze was looking at him, Lan Shichu suddenly looked towards where he was looking, and sure enough he saw it was Gong Liang Subai disguised as the caravan steward.
She met his eyes directly, cold and sharp, but fair and fair. She didn't know if she was guilty, but after meeting Lan Shichu's eyes, she quickly looked away.
Only then did Lan Shichu sneer and look away.
In the original destiny trajectory, when Gong Liang Subai pretended to be a businessman and caught up with him, the original owner and Gong Liangqin and his wife were already dead, leaving only Gong Liangxian and his family.
But now, she, Gong Liangqin, and Mrs. Liu are still alive and well. It seems that Gong Liang Subai has more things to worry about. If she doesn't die, I wonder if this long-lasting male protagonist can still marry his sweetheart as he wishes?
