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

Chapter 221 Two people froze to death in a night of snow and wind
Are you asleep?

This greeting is like a magic sound that penetrates the brain.

Xu Su is really going crazy.

Outside the door, Chu Lingyuan knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside, so he thought Xu Su had fallen asleep.

He stood outside the door and hesitated for a moment. As soon as he turned around, the door behind him opened from the inside.

Xu Su looked serious: "Miss Chu."

Chu Lingyuan turned around and subconsciously looked at his complexion, secretly wondering, it was really magical!

Every day, it can be observed that Mr. Xu, Captain Xu, recovers at a speed that is different from ordinary people.

here we go again! here we go again!
With this kind of continuous exploration and research, Xu Su sighed deeply in his heart, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Chu Lingyuan: "Miss Chu? She has returned to her soul."

Chu Lingyuan's bright eyes looked at Xu Su intelligently.

"Sir Xu, after Lingyuan arrives in Dengzhou, can you please stay by your side for a while? I have some medical knowledge and am good at medicinal food. I can soothe your liver and regulate your qi, nourish your kidneys and strengthen your spleen."

Xu Su looked embarrassed and said solemnly: "My liver and kidneys are fine."

Behind the left and right door panels, there was a faint muffled laughter.

Xu Su thought to himself, a bunch of dog people...

He looked at Chu Lingyuan who was still in green clothes in front of him, why couldn't this little girl be fooled?

Late at night, the inn was very quiet, and all the guests were sleeping one after another. Xu Su couldn't keep her in the room to discuss matters, so he just dealt with the matter casually. Anyway, he took the time to return to Dengzhou early and directly put the hot hand on his hands. Throw the potato to Mr. Zhai.

After Chu Lingyuan returned to the room "satisfied", the door to Xu Su's room next door opened and someone came over.

"Sir, Mr. Han's flying pigeon delivers a message."

Xu Su looked serious and said, "Come in and talk."

Before rushing back to Dengzhou Mansion, Xu Su finally received news from another good brother, Han Qiguang.

On a thin piece of paper, there were only a few words:
[There are dogs on the war road in the north divided by ten by two and three]

After Xu Su read the news, he lit the candle. After it burned, he lightly dusted his fingers and flicked away the ashes.

Xu Su thought for a moment with deep eyes and said, "Reply to the letter. I know it. Please stay safe."

The deputy general nodded, "I will go back to Master Han in a moment."

Xu Su asked: "What's the news at home?"

The lieutenant shook his head.

"I know, go to sleep."

Lying back on the bed, Xu Su leaned on his side and rested his arms, wondering to himself whether Han Qiguang and Xie Yuheng had met or not.

After blowing out the candlelight, Xu Su counted the time and guessed that the Xie family members should have left seclusion by now, right?

The moonlight is dark.

Outside the countryside, insects were chirping and rustling, and under the silent mountain forest, the grass was wet and cold.

The exiled team followed the route of the army until they could no longer move forward, and then camped on the spot to rest.

It snowed all day and night, and late at night the wind was biting.

The temperature dropped sharply after the snow.

This night, even the officials had a hard time.

The journey of exile, such as the days of walking through forests and rivers, was to be endured later. The officials wanted to sleep with a pile of firewood for a night, complaining to each other while keeping warm. After eight lifetimes of bad luck, they were rushing to go away in the middle of winter. Difference.

When the body is cold, people's tempers tend to be irritable, and they don't like anything they see. Turning around, they saw a group of prisoners in ragged clothes, shivering from the cold, but they seemed to feel a little comfortable. However, many officers, seeing that the weather was getting colder, held their arms in their sleeves and couldn't help but show kindness to the prisoners who were suffering in the cold night.

The hot water was boiled a little more, praying that a few people would die in such a cold night.

"Dad, I'm so cold."

Pang Jiming lowered his head. The son in his arms had cold cheeks from the cold, as did the daughter nestled in his wife's arms. The biting cold wind blew mercilessly on these weak prisoners.

He stretched out his hands to bring his family members together, his silent eyes falling on the ground without focus, not knowing what to do to make his family feel better.

Not far away, Tieniu was half asleep and half awake. When he was awake, he looked at Pang Jiming, the new "friend" he had made on the way to exile, and then at another group of people in the distance, his eyes filled with "I don't understand."

It's really hard to guess the thoughts of these people who have been adults.

A cold night.

In the early morning, after the first ray of sunshine jumped over the horizon, the sleeping exile team also woke up shivering from the hazy cold fog.

Before the team set off, the officers still counted the number of prisoners as usual for record keeping.

Everyone cleared up slowly and stiffly, yawning and spitting out white mist.

It's so cold...

"one two Three……"

The officers responsible for different responsibilities carried out their daily work in an orderly manner. Every day of the long journey was repeated over and over again, and passed extremely slowly.

Such a day can be completed after more than one month. The expectations of the soldiers and government officials are very different.

"Boss! Two of them are cold."

A young government official, after counting the prisoners in his area as usual, found two people lying on the ground, frozen, early in the morning.

Before leaving the border, after a not too big snowstorm, the team had already started to experience attrition.

After Xiong Jiushan learned the news, he came to check.

There was a bit of noise and chatter at the back of the team, and soon the news spread from the back to the front.

When the Xie family heard the news, they were surprised and stood up and looked back.

Two people died, and the atmosphere among the prisoners was very low. I don't know if it was because two people had frozen to death. When the team moved forward again, there were constant coughs.

Human life, under the cruel beating of nature, seems extremely small.

Behavior in a group is always easy to be suggested and contagious. At first, one or two people coughed, but gradually, it seemed that everyone felt weak and uncomfortable.

Under the low air pressure, Xie Yuchuan discovered that even among the Xie family, there were several people who couldn't help but cough along with them on the road.

Many people in the team have never experienced sleeping in the snow.

Xie Yuchuan looked at everyone with deep eyes. No matter whether they were officials or prisoners, they were not in good condition.

The bodies of the two prisoners who froze to death were thrown on the carriage behind the team by the guards, and they rushed to the next county seat with the team to report to the government.

An old official who had been on a mission was used to it, "It's troublesome and troublesome to carry two corpses. Anyway, they froze to death. How about cutting off the arms and taking them back to the mission? The adults are kind-hearted, but they still worry about leaving a whole body for them." ”

The inexperienced young government officer came up to ask for advice: "Can I cut off my arm and do my job?"

"It's not a big mistake. On the way to exile, I didn't say that I had to arrive alive. When I pass through the county, it's fine if I have a piece of flesh and blood that can explain the situation!"

"Then our Lord Xiong is really kind-hearted."

The old yamen officer squinted his eyes and looked forward, and said calmly: "My lord is kind-hearted, but a kind-hearted person cannot do this job."
