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

Chapter 292: I'm really envious and jealous

"not yet."

Zhang Dayi looked at the person on the ground with some concern.

After Xie Wenjie came in, others also came in one after another. The guards who stayed in the room were busy pouring water for everyone to quench their thirst and replenish their energy.

Xie Wenjie walked up to Sixth Brother and was shocked to see Xie Yuchuan’s red face.

"What's going on here?!"

He reached out to touch his forehead; it was hot.

The guard who was carrying a water bag to pour water for everyone turned around and explained for Zhang Dayi: "Xiong Jiushan came in, the master used a trick."

Xie Wenjie looked up at Zhang Dayi, puzzled: "How did you do it, sir?"

Xiong Jiushan captured him and interrogated him before coming here to investigate. It was such a short period of time. How could he have done this?
Zhang Dayi stretched out his hand and spread it out.

He held a heating pad in his palm, which was still quite warm to the touch.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then they all started laughing.

"Sir, that's wonderful!"

Zhang Dayi did not take credit for it, and smiled faintly, "It was the good things that the Xie family gods gave me. I acted in a hurry, but luckily, I was able to fool people because of the current chaos and Xiong Jiushan's lack of interest. Unfortunately, this move can only be done once and not twice, and Xiong Jiushan is not stupid."

Everyone in the Xie family nodded.

The lights were lit in the room, and the whole room was bright.

Outside, lights were turned on in other huts and tents. I'm afraid no one would be able to sleep tonight.

All escorting officers, except those who were accidentally injured and needed to rest, were not allowed to rest and had to be on duty!
Following Xiong Jiushan's orders, Cheng Ye brought some men and borrowed a few villagers from the fort who were familiar with the terrain outside to patrol the area outside the fort to see if there were any traces.

Xiong Jiushan was invited by the Tian family to the main hall to discuss matters.

The prisoners were frightened in the middle of the night and dared not sleep. The air was filled with the smell of blood. Even though the Tian family and the people in the fort had done a simple cleanup, many people, especially those who were weak, men, women, young and old, were pale.

They don't care at all about how the adults discuss things.

The convicts just wanted to live.

I don't want to die in a place like this for no reason.

Many people sat in the middle of the room with their knees hugged, not daring to lean against the wall, for fear that something scary would come in through some unnoticed gap.

Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Most of them have no desire to sleep, but only a few of the exiles have done so a few times and don't care at all.

Tie Niu, who lived in a thatched house with Pang Jiming's family, was one of them.

After working for a long time, he came back safely without even drinking water. When he heard the official outside saying that everything was fine, he turned around and curled up to continue sleeping.

As if the thrilling scene just now was no big deal.

Slept very peacefully.

After all, Pang Jiming was getting older and not as strong as he was when he was young. In his panic while trying to protect his wife and children, he was bitten on the ankle and unfortunately bitten on the back of the shoulder when he fell.

At that moment, Pang Jiming's face turned pale!

I thought my fate was over. When I thought about the long road ahead and how my wife and children would suffer if I failed, I was instantly overwhelmed with fear.

Now he couldn't remember how upset and regretful he felt at that moment.

Fortunately, a noble person came to his rescue and saved him from death. He came back terrified and when he saw his wife and children, he hugged them tightly and couldn't utter a word for a long time.

There are many families like Pang Jiming.

Even though someone from the Tian family later came to reassure everyone, saying that most of the snakes were non-venomous and only a small number were dangerous, and that they had been treated one by one and that there had been no casualties so far, everyone still kept their eyes open with lingering fear, waiting for dawn.

"When are we going to leave? I'd rather starve on the road to exile than accidentally feed the snakes here."

"It's already this season, they are starving. They need to eat enough to survive the winter. I don't know which bastard actually let them out!"

Some people were rocking back and forth while hugging their knees. The prisoners in the room were complaining and had no desire to sleep.

Those who were frightened felt physically tired after the shock, but mentally tense and unable to relax at all.

At this time, someone discovered that Tie Niu, a fugitive living next to Pang Jiming's family, was not only asleep, but was snoring while sleeping.

Everyone is really envious and jealous.

Pang Jiming's wife, with red eyes, cleaned her husband's wound. The two children were also frightened, and clung to their father on the left and right without saying a word. Pang Jiming felt uncomfortable, and hugged the two children to persuade his wife: "The wound has been treated, it's okay, don't worry, it's still an hour before dawn, you and the children can sleep for a while."

Mrs. Pang wiped the sweat from her eyes and forehead, shook her head and said, "I can't sleep, you should take a nap."

"I can't sleep either." Pang Jiming said.

The couple was speechless for a moment and silently stroked the heads of their two children. After being exiled, the lives of their family of four were like walking on the edge of a knife, and they didn't know when they would die.

Pang's wife was very careful. She carefully cleaned the wound on Pang Jiming's leg which was bandaged casually before applying medicine and re-bandaging it.

"Injuries are not a trivial matter. In the past, many people lost their lives by the river because their wounds were not properly taken care of."

His wife kept nagging, but Pang Jiming didn't refute her. He just listened obediently.

Inside the thatched hut, everyone was talking and communicating with each other. The convicts, who were usually so tired that they didn't even bother to breathe, had more common topics this time, perhaps because they were fighting to survive and slay snakes together.

Amid the noisy conversation, there was occasional snoring from the Tie Niu brothers.

The sound of his snoring came one after another, and it made people feel surprisingly soothed. Tie Niu's snoring had a magical power that could slowly calm people down, as if what happened just now was nothing big.

At this time, no one noticed that Tie Niu's arms were bulging.

After Pang Jiming treated his wound, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to listen to everyone's conversation. The other convicts were all talking about the wealthy Tian family in Wulibao and wondering who they had offended.

As the conversation went on, we talked about bandits.

Ordinary fugitives who were not well-informed had no idea what was going on outside. They just guessed that Xiong Jiushan and the officers would keep them here for a few days. Would something big happen?
Some said that the officials were discussing what they would ask the Tian family to prepare for them. Some were talking seriously about the bandits coming down the mountain, and others were wondering what kind of work the officials would ask them to do if they didn't leave tomorrow.

They talked about all kinds of things until someone mentioned thanking his family among the crowd.

Pang Jiming slowly opened his eyes and looked over. He saw a taciturn man.

"If the Xie family hadn't discovered it first and reminded everyone, we might not have the opportunity to talk about this and that here now."

When the others heard this, they all nodded.
