Chapter 54 054. Exile
That's great! Wu Qingshui's eyes lit up. It just so happened that they had already sent people to follow behind. This Lord Liu saved them some detours. "Thank you very much, Lord Liu. I just don't want to trouble you all. I will arrange for people to prepare on the way. I hope you can help me when the time comes.
I will report this to our wife when I get back, and I will come to your house again in a few days."
Liu Pingkang was very satisfied after hearing this. "That's fine, after all, I have some friendship with the Third Young Master of the Gu Family. I'll definitely have some exchanges with him along the way."
Nanny Wu was a little surprised, "Master and our son-in-law?"
"That was because they had known each other for a long time. Originally, both of them wanted to become close friends, but who knew that such a change would happen in the Gu Mansion?
For the sake of the Bai family and Brother Gu, I will definitely ensure your young lady arrives safely."
Hearing this, Wu Qingshui didn't take it to heart. He took the benefits and talked about brotherhood. It seemed that this friendship was not worth much.
But he flattered her several times before walking back to Bai Suihe.
He took out another basket from the carriage and said, "Miss, we haven't eaten anything today. Let's eat something first."
There were dumplings inside. Dongmei filled a bowl for Gu Kaiyuan. Seeing that he was wearing the torture instruments, she served him the food.
He also specially prepared a bowl of blood swallows for Bai Suihe. After seeing her finish eating, Wu Qingshui gave her a few more instructions before reluctantly leaving.
During this time, the Gu family also wanted to step forward, but they still had some dignity to save, so they endured it.
I thought Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe would remember them, but they didn't even glance at them from beginning to end.
Seeing the Bai family's carriage leave, leaving behind only a hundred taels of silver and a small package, the two elders of the Gu family felt despair in their hearts.
This is different from what they thought. With so little stuff sent over, it would be a problem whether they could even survive, let alone settle down in Lingnan.
"They said they were a wealthy family, but they sent an old slave, so casually, and gave him a little silver to send him off." Xu Yulan had been thinking for the past two days that the Bai family must have given them thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver notes. With these silver notes, they could live a rich life when they arrived at the destination, but in the end, this is...
"Alright, alright, those who are not involved, please leave immediately," the escort began to drive people away. "Don't interfere with public affairs. Prisoners, please line up and go on the road."
With the sound of whips hitting the ground, those who were still reluctant to say goodbye now hurriedly separated, and the exiled criminals all lined up and left in an orderly manner.
Everyone was able to accept this at first, and the speed was acceptable, but after an hour, many people could no longer walk.
The escort ignored all this and cracked his whip. "Hurry up, we've been delayed for so long. If we can't get to the post station, everyone will have to sleep in the wilderness."
The constant shouting did have some effect, as the temperature at night would drop a lot. If one really had to sleep in the wilderness, the consequences could be imagined.
Xu Huizhen has been living a life of luxury over the years, and coupled with her being a bit overweight, she can no longer walk.
"No, I really can't walk anymore. I need to rest."
She simply sat on the ground, and the bailiff came over and whipped her on the back, causing her to jump up in pain.
"If anyone dares to delay, don't blame me for being rude with the whip." The escort said, and then glanced at the Gu family, "Watch your own people, and don't blame me for being rude next time."
The warning in his eyes made people feel cold. They didn't expect that these little escorts would be punished together.
"I can't walk anymore. If I don't stop, my feet will be broken." Xu Huizhen was still shouting, and she didn't even notice Gu Baijiang's warning look.
"Are you sure you can't walk anymore? Do you want me to do something for you?"
Ma Zhi usually disliked these high-ranking wives of officials. Now that they had just left and were causing him trouble again, his eyes turned cold. "Loss?" Xu Huizhen didn't understand what this meant.
Gu Kaiping, who was walking behind her, wanted to rush over and cover her mouth, but he was in shackles and could only whisper, "Mother, the so-called loss means that some deaths can be allowed during the exile."
Xu Huizhen's face suddenly changed. She quickly stood up and ran forward two steps. "I think I can hold on a little longer."
Gu family, "..."
Bai Suihe, "Your mother is quite interesting. Isn't she quite sensible about the current situation?"
Gu Kaiyuan, “…”
Most of the people in the team were pampered, and it was already dark when they arrived at the first post station.
The entire team was in a particularly messy state, with young and old supporting each other.
Gu Kaiyuan also kept supporting Bai Suihe. Bai Suihe's feet must have blisters now, and every step was extremely difficult for him.
I've been practicing a lot in the backyard these days, but it seems like the effect isn't that great.
The other female members of the Gu family were in almost the same situation, and even Gu Kaiping and the others were not feeling well.
After entering the post station, the shackles were removed and they were separated and locked up in several large bunk beds. Many people did not care about the simple environment and just found a bed to lie down on.
Gu Kaiyuan walked quickly. As soon as he entered the room, he helped Bai Suihe to the corner and asked her to sit on the bed first. He was about to reach out to take off her shoes, but Bai Suihe quickly retracted her hand.
"Let me take a look at you. If there are blisters, you need to prick them and apply some medicine, otherwise you won't be able to leave tomorrow." Gu Kaiyuan looked at Bai Suihe and explained to her.
"When we're out and about, and with our current status, there aren't that many rules."
Bai Suihe had no such concerns at all, but he also understood the ancient rule of "don't show your teeth when you smile, and don't show your feet when you walk." He smiled awkwardly and said, "It tastes..."
Gu Kaiyuan looked at her seriously, "We are husband and wife, and we will support each other for the rest of our lives. Don't worry about these things."
As ordinary people, of course they have to have a common people's lifestyle. What's more, they are not even common people now, but criminals. They will have to carry manure and farm in the future. The more enjoyable life is yet to come.
"Then I'll do it myself," Bai Suihe stretched out his feet and took off his socks. There were really several blisters on the soles of his feet. No wonder every step was so difficult.
Gu Kaiyuan took off the small package he had been carrying on his back. Inside was a thin blanket, two pairs of shoes, and two bottles of gold medicine.
"Madam, you are really good at predicting things," Bai Suihe praised. Taking advantage of Gu Kaiyuan's cover, she took out an embroidery needle from the space, but her hands were shaking when she was about to do it.
Gu Kaiyuan took it from her hand, held her ankle, and pricked a few blisters deftly. He took out a handkerchief from his arms, helped her wipe it clean, and then applied medicine.
Bai Suihe, "...Thank you!"
"We are a couple and we can't thank each other enough," Gu Kaiyuan helped her apply the medicine, "You rest here for a while, I'll go see if I can get some water and buy some food."
"Kaiyuan," the Gu family members who arrived late also squeezed over to their side and stared at the package that had been opened.
