Confiscated and exiled, I emptied the emperor's storehouse to escape famine

Chapter 41: It's a pity to meet too late

Setting off again, not to mention the Qin and Chu families who had been pampered, they felt it was hard to endure, even the escorts who were used to trekking through mountains and rivers complained.

Even if they returned to the official road, it was all dirt roads. After the heavy rain, the road became extremely muddy, with water on one foot and mud on the other.

The donkey cart was stuck in the mud pit from time to time and couldn't move. Su Yunwan and others had to get off the carriage, leaving only Qin Junyi and Qin's mother in the carriage, and everyone pushed the donkey cart hard.

Su Yunwan looked at the lower body clothes that were splashed with mud and water, and missed the asphalt road in the end of the world.

Now only the roads in the city are paved with stone slabs, and this long exile road is really hard to walk.

"Ah!" Qin Ruolan accidentally fell down, and her whole body and even her hair were stained with mud and water, and she turned into a mud man in an instant.

Just at this time, the brothers Chu Yi and Chu Yan came with a stretcher.

This stretcher was borrowed by the eldest son of the Chu family from the Qin family when they set out in the morning to carry the old lady Chu.

They lacked the materials to make a stretcher, and they could only use vines and tree trunks to make it in the wild. Not only was it very heavy, but it was also uncomfortable to lie on.

After returning to the official road after going down the mountain, in order to avoid the slippery road and accidentally falling and injuring the grandmother, the Chu family changed from carrying to carrying, and thus the stretcher was returned.

When Qin Ruolan saw the person coming, she wished she could turn into mud and disappear. After everyone helped her up, she kept carrying Chu Yi on her back, bowing her head and crying, ashamed to see people.

Chu Yi's ungentlemanly behavior of taking Jiang in the morning was also seen by Qin Ruolan, and a girlish smile appeared on her face.

She had long heard of his reputation, and it was indeed well-deserved. Chu Yi, who had removed the shackles, was so graceful that her heart fell.

Now that she was in such an ugly state, she felt ashamed to face people, and her tears flowed like water. Mrs. Pei thought she was hurt and asked about it with concern.

It was not until Chu Yi walked away that she choked and said, "Dirty..."

Mrs. Pei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Be patient. When we get to Weinan Prefecture, we can buy a few more clothes and change them."

When everyone heard about Weinan Prefecture, they took a deep step and a shallow step and moved forward.

During the noon break, the temperature had risen, and the gray clouds blocked the sunlight. The whole earth was like a big steamer, making people feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

Many people went to fish in the flooded stream, and the father and son of the fourth branch of the Qin family also went.

Su Yunwan, Qin Ruolan and other female relatives went upstream to wash and tidy up their appearance.

Soon, Chu Yi wrapped seven or eight small fishes with two fingers thick in large leaves, and brought them to Su Yunwan who was tidying up her dress by the stream, and said familiarly: "These stream fish are too small. I will buy a few pounds of pork when we arrive in Weinan Prefecture."

Faced with such a down-to-earth former nobleman, Su Yunwan smiled and took the leaves: "These fish are enough."

"What fish? Let me see." Qin Ruolan came from the stream, her wet dress clung to her body, outlining her graceful figure vividly.
