Chapter 185
"Brother Mu, sister-in-law, our boss wants you to go out!"

Wang Xiaoer ran over in a hurry and happened to see their family sitting together lively. He saved the effort of looking for them and greeted them warmly.

The two male protagonists' eyes met for a moment, and they could probably guess Li Jiang's intention of calling them out alone.

Now that they have arrived at the border of Yuecheng, the escort officers must hand over their group of prisoners to the local officers. As a result, without Li Jiang and others to open Xiaozao, their life may not be so easy.

However, on the way here, their family was also prepared and had psychological expectations.

The difference is that Ruan He also estimates that she has a small space, and has long been prepared to sneak away. With the space, she doesn't have to worry about survival at all, and there is no need to continue to stay in this useless place and suffer. She thinks He has done all he can to the Mu family, and it's time to leave.

Ruan He was a strong and free warrior in his previous life. Even after traveling here, he could not let anyone restrain his footsteps...

Ruan He had already firmly believed in this idea when she just traveled through time. Now that she has experienced so much along the way, the human heart is made of flesh after all, and her thoughts will occasionally have a little reason.

During the short journey, Ruan He lowered his eyes and was thinking a lot. He didn't notice that the male protagonist's eyes fell on her from time to time. His eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The two of them were silent, and Wang Xiaoer walked in front chattering about all kinds of random things without feeling embarrassed at all.

Li Jiang was standing at the entrance of a secluded alley. He seemed to be in a hurry and rushed over just in time.

"Master Li." The male protagonist and his wife called out warmly in unison.

Li Jiang nodded slightly in response, then straightened his face and said seriously: "General Mu, Yuecheng is a safe place. You can live here with peace of mind. I have already helped to settle the relationship. When the time comes, everyone will The first batch of prisoners can all be allocated a piece of land to build a house, and the land that you Mu family can be allocated will be slightly better. But... I would like to remind you in advance that all prisoners need to have facial tattoos in advance. You should be prepared. I really don’t know this. I can’t make any plans for you, after all, people from the court have to verify.”

When Wang Xiaoer heard this, he also showed a helpless expression. He could only pat his chest and promised guiltily: "Well, when the time comes, I and the official with the tattoo will be accommodating. They should be gentle."

After all, Brother Mu and his wife helped them too much along the way. Without these two people, they might have died on the way. Now that they finally reached the place of exile, they could not help them much.

Facial tattoos are an extremely humiliating punishment given by the imperial court to prisoners. The large tattoos are placed on a very eye-catching part of the face. They will follow the prisoner for the rest of his life, making him unable to escape. It also prevents the prisoner from forgetting his past identity.

Hearing this, Ruan He thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said calmly: "It's okay, I will have something to do when the time comes."

She has the spiritual spring water in her hand, so it shouldn't be difficult to remove the tattoo. If it doesn't work, she can endure the pain, peel off the tattooed skin, and then use the spiritual spring water to make the skin grow back.

Ruan He could always find a way to get rid of the prisoner's tattoos without putting himself in a lifelong embarrassing situation.

Seeing her determined and confident look, Li Jiang breathed a sigh of relief. Without asking too many questions, he handed another baggage to the male protagonist and said, "I can only help you here for the time being. If there is anything, If you need help, ask Wang Xiaoer to come to me."

After all, there is a difference between an official and a prisoner. They always get into trouble when they meet. Besides, this is not a wild place, but a city, so you must be careful when doing things.

After bidding farewell to Li Jiang and the other two, they returned to the inn silently with their bundles, entered the room quietly, and then opened the bundles.Li Jiang looks rough, cold and fierce, but he is a careful person. In his baggage, he not only prepared a batch of money for them, but also a variety of dry food and clothing so that they could survive in Yuecheng as soon as possible.

After putting away the baggage securely, Ruan He and the two of them didn't say anything more, and secretly remembered this kindness in their hearts.

……

All the prisoners only rested for half a day. In the afternoon of that day, the officer in charge of tattooing had already arrived at the inn.

The leading officer, whose surname was Tang, had a fierce face and a pair of eagle eyes scanning the crowd like a wolf, making people afraid to resist.

He gave the order in a rough voice, asking all the prisoners to line up and go over together to tattoo.

It turns out that when the prisoners didn't understand the tattooing process, they still had a vague look of relaxation on their faces.

As soon as he arrived at the tattoo room, he saw bright and billowing flames and long, sharp needles being roasted on the fire. He was so frightened that his face turned pale.

Inside, several ferocious-looking officers held only iron clamps, put thin needles on the fire and roasted them carefully, making a sizzling sound, and took out a large pot of strange bright green liquid. Completely immerse the baked thin needle in it and soak it for a while before picking it up.

All the prisoners knew very well that in the near future, the silver needles that were roasted red would be pierced into their faces.

Before the tattooing began, the burning pain seemed to have swept through the whole body, frightening a large number of people.

Among the crowd, someone immediately let out a scream of terror, their eyes widened, and some even tried to turn their heads and run away.

"Be honest! Why are you running away!?" The officer surnamed Tang fiercely pushed the prisoner who was trying to escape, scolded him angrily, and glared menacingly. He was immediately so frightened that no one dared to move.

"Shit...bad master...you didn't say that tattooing is so scary..."

"You can't die! Don't be nagging and start quickly!" The Tang officer didn't have much patience. He scolded him coldly, looked at the first few men who were ready, and signaled.

"You come first!" He looked around among the trembling prisoners, then landed firmly on the prisoner who just tried to escape, and shouted.

The prisoner was clearly a burly man, but his face was filled with twisted fear, and he turned around to escape as if he were crawling.

"Ah...I don't want it! People will die!"

The few officials around him were not vegetarians, especially the Tang official who yanked hard, pressed his neck hard, and threw the man to the ground heavily.
