Chapter 174

"Don't push people to do anything!" Mu Zhengbai gritted his teeth and stared at the full basket of steamed buns, threatening in anger.

In response to Mu Zhengbai's threat, the official who heard him just let out a disdainful laugh, and Quan regarded him as a joke.

Mrs. Mu Tai frowned unbearably when she heard his louder and louder noises. She broke the Wo Wotou in her hand into two halves and threw half away.

She couldn't eat such hard woofou, so she might as well give it to Mu Zhengbai.

Just a moment ago, he was holding his stomach and screaming in pain. When Mu Zhengbai saw the half-baked bun, his eyes lit up. He hurriedly took the bun, lowered his head and started to nibble on it. His movements were still pretty good. quickly.

Ruan He saw this scene, twitched his lips and looked away, wondering how such a person could give birth to two brothers, Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao.

Good shoots come out of bad bamboos.

This is a person who can't even express his gratitude, and this litter of wotou is just like feeding the dogs.

Just as Ruan He was nibbling on the steamed buns in his hand, an old and gentle voice came from beside him.

"Xiaohe."

Ruan He stopped chewing the buns, looked over following the sound, looked at Mrs. Mutai doubtfully, and said, "Huh? What's wrong, grandma?"

"Xiaohe, I'm just afraid that you will think too much and explain more." No matter how you look at it, Mrs. Mutai is very jealous of her grandson-in-law. She can't suppress the smile on her old and kind face, and says: "I'll give him a steamed bun." , I don’t feel sorry for him, I’m just worried that if he continues to make trouble, it will affect everyone’s mood, and I don’t know what he will do. It’s better to do less than to do more.”

She didn't want Xiaohe to misunderstand her. Mrs. Mutai believed that she was by no means a person who discriminated between good and evil. Since Mu Zhengbai was not a thing, she would just pretend that she did not have this son.

When Ruan He heard this, he was slightly startled. He did not expect that Mrs. Mutai would go out of her way to explain it to her. This was undoubtedly a very scrupulous approach. She curved her lips and smiled sweetly. .

"I know, Grandma."

Since traveling through time, Mrs. Mutai is the first and only elder she respects, so there is no need to say more.

"As long as Xiaohe understands." Mrs. Mutai couldn't help but free her hand, patted her hand gently, and murmured affectionately and warmly.

……

In order to speed up the process, Li Jiang refused Qingzhou Zhizhou's offer to stay and immediately decided to continue on the road the next day.

When the officers informed the news, all the prisoners who were eating steamed buns showed pained expressions without exception, but they were only qualified to receive the news and had no right to discuss it.

Taking advantage of the daytime, the officials were busy purchasing some dry food in Qingzhou Prefecture. Wang Xiaoer also made a special trip to ask Ruan He about the prepared medicinal materials, and made sufficient preparations one by one.

Ruan He naturally told everything she knew, so she naturally called Mu Yunxiao over and got paper and pen.

"I read, you write."

Ruan He nodded his chin obediently and said hello.

After hearing the madam's instructions, Mu Yunxiao naturally complied, picked up his ink pen and waited aside.Wang Xiaoer vaguely realized something and asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, can't you read?"

"I can't write." Ruan He responded frankly. She couldn't be blamed for this. The original owner was born in a peasant family and was illiterate, but she didn't understand the writing in this place. She could barely read it. Writing must be writing. Not coming.

Wang Xiaoer didn't think much and just responded. He just secretly regretted in his heart: It's a bit unexpected that such a powerful woman can't write.

"Our leader said that everything will be done according to your orders, sister-in-law."

On the day they set out on their journey, Qingzhou Zhizhou led his family members to see them off above Qingzhou City.

Xie Zhizhou stroked his beard, stared at the tall figure among the exiles with emotion, and sighed regretfully.

"I hope General Mu will be cleared of his grievances as soon as possible. It is absolutely impossible for such a hero to commit treason."

He was just the magistrate of a small, remote city. He had no control over the affairs of the court, so he could only silently pray for General Mu.

The next journey of the exile team went quite smoothly. Perhaps in Qingzhou, no bandits dared to act arrogantly anymore. They walked smoothly for half a month.

After walking for several hours since early in the morning, the officers asked the tired prisoners to sit down and rest for a while, taking advantage of the situation to eat a bite of steamed buns to satisfy their hunger.

While the officers were distributing steamed buns and steamed buns, they shouted: "After eating the steamed buns, hit the road immediately. We are only fifty miles away from the place of exile. We will be there in three or four days' walk. Don't be lazy!"

As soon as these words came out, the prisoners who had been fuming suddenly perked up one by one. They looked around happily and started talking happily.

"Ouch! It'll be here in three or four days! That's great."

"I heard that I have to work in the penal colony, so I agree. I'm going to wear out my feet from walking every day, so I can take a break."

"Don't mention it. My feet hurt and itch. It makes me uncomfortable sleeping all night. It's almost time."

The prisoners gnawed on the steamed buns in their hands, sighing happily, as if they were finally relieved after suffering.

After hearing the officer's words, Mrs. Mutai's expression remained calm and did not change much. Seeing the excitement of the others, she shook her head helplessly and let out a long sigh.

Ruan He also heard the voices of the prisoners around him. He turned his head and looked at Mrs. Mutai who looked unclear beside him. He raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "Grandma, what kind of work are we going to do when we are exiled?"

When Mrs. Mutai heard this, she showed a worried look and said slowly: "It's not as simple as they said. My brother once served in the penal colony for a short time. Once the exiled prisoners arrived there, they had to do a lot of work. , there is basically little time to take a breath, and most of them are arduous and trivial tasks. Moreover...the local government pays very little to the prisoners, and it is difficult to even fill their stomachs."

When Ruan He heard this, he was not worried about his future at all. Instead, he twitched the corners of his lips and sneered with unknown meaning: "Then they are happy too early."

As soon as the words changed, she turned sideways, looked at Mrs. Mutai with a relaxed expression, and assured her with a firm tone: "Grandma, don't worry, as long as I am here, our family's life will not be difficult."

Just the things in her space are enough to ensure that their family has enough food and clothing.

"I believe Xiaohe." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Mutai's slightly frowned eyebrows instantly dispersed, she nodded, and a pleased smile appeared on her kind face.
