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

Chapter 626 I don't know when the general will return

"Why is it raining?!"

During a short afternoon nap, the cool touch of raindrops falling on cheeks woke up the prisoners who were taking a nap in a makeshift camp on the side of the road.

After a while, the convicts woke up from their dreams one after another. Those who slept too deeply were gently pushed awake by their companions, or awakened by the loud shouts of the escorts around them.

After a long journey, the old, weak, sick and disabled people who had been worried all the way finally escaped death and were greeted by the large army led by Xiong Jiushan and others.

The dispersed exile team finally reunited as one, enjoying a rare opportunity to let down their guard and rest.

But I didn't expect that the weather would be so changeable. It snowed in the morning, and after the afternoon, it started to drizzle.

Many people were awakened by the cold air. They wiped the rain off their faces, shivered, huddled on tiptoe, and looked around to see what everyone was planning to do.

The team led by Chu Feijian had few resources because they abandoned their supplies on the way to escape. Fortunately, Xiong Jiushan and the others came back.

Not only did they return, they also brought back a large amount of supplies. Behind them were carts full of supplies sent not only by the Yucheng County Government, but also by various big families in the city out of consideration for the bandit suppression effort.

Among them, the Tian family, who personally led a team to see them off, donated the most supplies.

It suddenly started raining.

The weather is really a bit abnormal.

The Xie family members woke up one after another. Except for the youngest Xie Jiarui who was still sleeping soundly, the others got up and packed their things.

It was raining and the air was freezing cold.

If we continue to sleep, I'm afraid a group of people will really get sick.

"I'll go ask Master Xiong if I can make some ginger soup now."

After wiping his head and face, Zhang Dayi settled his mother down and went to thank the old lady.

Madam Xie nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."

Zhang Dayi looked around and saw Xiong Jiushan talking to Miss Tian from the Tian family in the distance. Not far away, Chu Feijian was leading some people and was busy with something unknown.

He cleared his throat and walked towards Xiong Jiushan.

Soon, Xiong Jiushan noticed his actions, so he stopped Miss Tian from talking and said, "We are still trying to find a way to rescue Xie Yuchuan and the others. There is no news yet. I'm sorry I can't make a hasty decision on what you asked for."

"Sir, look..."

"Excuse me, I have something important to discuss here. If you have anything else to discuss, why don't you wait for me for a moment, Miss Tian?"

Miss Tian also saw Zhang Dayi, so she stopped talking tactfully, "Okay, sir, I will come back to bother you when you are not busy."

Xiong Jiushan nodded.

Seeing Zhang Dayi approaching, the eldest lady of the Tian family bowed slightly and turned away for the time being.

Zhang Dayi watched the backs of the Tian family members.

"Master Zhang, what's the matter?"

Hearing Xiong Jiushan's voice, Zhang Dayi turned around quickly and said, "No, no, Sir Xiong, please don't flatter me. I am just a fugitive now, and I am not worthy of the title of Sir."

Xiong Jiushan smiled and didn't change his words. His smile was sincere and he asked directly, "What's the matter?"

It’s different in the past.

After a fierce battle, the relationship between them is no longer the same.

As they are in the same battalion, Xiong Jiushan now regards Zhang Dayi, the former Hanlin scholar beside Xie Yuchuan, as a fellow traveler.

Some things have indeed changed quietly.

Xiong Jiushan knew in his heart that once something had changed, it could not be undone.

It was raining overhead, and he saw that Zhang Dayi was thin, so he looked at the people next to him and took out a coat given by the people of Yucheng. Although it was not very good, it was suitable for keeping out the wind and rain. As soon as he put it on, Zhang Dayi felt much warmer.

The rest, along with other rain shelter supplies, were delivered to the team as soon as Xiong Jiushan instructed, and they tried their best to build a warmer camp so that the prisoners could settle down.

Fortunately, there were still many caravans around the camp at this time, as well as gentry from Yucheng who came to see them off, and adults who came to support from various places and stayed behind to take care of the people who were actually watching.

Xiong Jiushan used the excuse of properly arranging these people to mobilize a large amount of supplies. He also showed in front of these people how simple the "care" of the people of Yucheng was for them.

As for the "benefits" that were secretly speculated, they really had nothing to do with their group of exiles that were about to head north.

Zhang Dayi asked, "Sir, General Xie and his men have not returned yet. Is there anything wrong?"

Xiong Jiushan couldn't come to a conclusion for a moment, and only sighed, "I hope they are doing things peacefully over there."

Zhang Dayi looked up at the sky. Raindrops were falling, neither big nor small. After a while, fog started to form all around. The fog was not very thick, but it made people feel empty for no reason.

It always feels like something is missing, and I don't feel secure.

Zhang Dayi asked, "Sir, would you like to make some ginger soup to ward off the cold?"

Xiong Jiushan said: "Well, I have already asked someone to do it."

Zhang Dayi casually put his hands behind his back and straightened his aching back.

"According to the plan, General Xie and the others should be back to join us at this time."

"Yeah, I don't know what's holding them back."

Zhang Dayi turned to look at him, thought for a moment, and inquired, "Did the Xie family's gods appear when you and the general started the rebellion?"

Xiong Jiushan tilted his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't describe the feeling. The god is both here and not here."

Zhang Dayi's eyes were slightly surprised. "What did General Xie say?"

"I think Xie Yuchuan is confident about it."

"Haha, that's his style of doing things." Zhang Dayi couldn't help but laugh.

Xiong Jiushan was silent for a while, looking at the settlement of the entire team, and suddenly said sincerely: "After you cross the river, throwing away the baggage and moving quickly seems to be the best strategy now."

Zhang Dayi smiled when he heard this and said, "Madam Xie is determined and resolute. She insisted on grasping the opportunity of life and death. She is from a famous family, so she can always control the overall situation."

Xiong Jiushan nodded and said with emotion: "Yes, there are so many life-saving things, and it is not easy to give them up at the critical moment."

In the Xie family, regardless of gender, age or status, he always seemed to see another side that he had never seen before.

It’s hard to say what kind of spirit that is. Anyway, in the environment he has been in over the years, he rarely encounters people like the Xie family.

In the hazy vision, there was a slender figure, busy with a group of female relatives. Many female prisoners gathered around him, either lending a hand or listening attentively.

Because they were far away, Xiong Jiushan couldn’t hear what was going on over there.

But I feel that after this battle, the way I look at the Xie family seems to have changed a little.

The change made him feel a little strange, yet a little envious.

Zhang Dayi saw that he was looking in the direction of the Xie family, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After thinking about it, I decided not to disturb him and just stretched my shoulders and relaxed my muscles.

Suddenly, I heard Xiong Jiushan beside me say in a deep voice:

"Master Zhang, how much merit do you think a person must have accumulated in his life to be reborn into such a family?"

Zhang Dayi was stunned when he heard this: Huh? !
