Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Gu Kaiyuan nodded, changed his seat again, and then patted Bai Suihe, "You should rest for a while, it's still a while before dawn."

Bai Suihe has been here for so long and still doesn't know how to tell the current time. There is no night watchman outside the post station, so he has no basis at all.

"I wonder what time it is now?"

Gu Kaiyuan quietly walked to the window and took a look outside. "It's almost dawn. I think I hear a rooster crowing."

The two were just thinking about whether to find another opportunity to enter the space and have a good rest, when they heard the sound of whips cracking. "Don't sleep anymore, get up, we have to walk 30 kilometers today, don't dawdle, if you are delayed, don't blame us for being rude."

"Officer, why are you up now when it's still dark?" Someone was dissatisfied and took advantage of the fact that no one could see clearly and asked loudly.

"It's still dark? Do you want to find a few more people to help you get up?

You have to understand the 1000-kilometer journey. If you fail to reach the destination within the specified time, you will be charged with an even greater crime.

This not only delays our mission, but also gambles with your lives. From now on, you must obey our orders. If anyone talks too much, don't blame me for being rude."

The sound of whips cracking gave the people in the room a sense of tension. No one dared to say anything. They quickly sat up and packed their things.

After one night, each member of the Gu family had an extra quilt.

Gu Kaiyuan packed up his own quilt and all of Bai Suihe's quilts and tied them around himself.

While the Gu family was still hesitating, he had already helped Bai Suihe go outside to get the morning rations.

Gu Kaiping, “…”

Liu Yun, "What should I do with this quilt?"

I slept well that night, but when I thought about having to carry my quilt on the road today, I didn’t feel so good anymore.

"What can I do? I'll just carry it on my back." Gu Kaiping grabbed Gu Anliang's quilt, packed it up, and carried it on his back. "I can't buy a new one in the evening."

"Dad, what about mine?" Gu Antong was at a loss.

"You're a grown-up girl now. Carrying a blanket shouldn't be a big problem. As a father, I can help your brother carry the blanket, which is already the limit. Otherwise, how about seeing if your mother can help you?"

After all, she was the daughter he had raised with his love, so Gu Kaiping looked at Liu Yun.

Liu Yun, "Tong'er, dear, you know your mother's health isn't very good either. You just have to endure the hardship for a while, and we'll slowly find a solution later."

"Hiss...hiss...hiss..." A series of gasping sounds were heard, followed by many people holding their feet and crying out in pain.

"Why does the sole of my foot hurt so much?"

"My foot is broken..."

"My blisters from yesterday haven't healed yet, how can I go on the road today?"

Gu Antong also cried at this moment, "Mom, my feet hurt."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two children of the Gu family started crying and complaining about the pain in their feet.

Gu Baijiang then slapped his forehead, thinking that he had been living a comfortable life for so many years that he had forgotten the problems he would encounter on the road.

When he entered the university to study for the imperial examination, it was common for him to get blisters on the soles of his feet.

It will take some time for the thick calluses on the soles of your feet to grow out.

He had been standing during court sessions for many years, and as he was old, his feet were already covered with thick calluses, so he didn't have these problems.

When he fell asleep last night, he was still thinking about what he had forgotten. It turned out that he forgot to remind everyone to pop the blisters first.

"Hurry up and pop the blisters and apply some medicine, or you'll suffer on the road today."

"But it really hurts," Gu Antong tried to take two steps, and each step was torture, "I really can't walk." "Why are you making a fuss?" The escort was already accustomed to this kind of situation. He deliberately didn't remind them yesterday because he wanted to give them a little pain so that they would be easier to manage in the future and they would behave themselves.

"There's medicine at this post station. We still have some time, so hurry up and buy some. If we delay everyone, it won't be as simple as just being unable to walk."

While promoting the post station, he also didn't forget to intimidate everyone.

Xu Huizhen hugged her feet and said, "Kaiyuan, go buy medicine for everyone."

Not getting a response, he looked towards the bed where Gu Kaiyuanzhi was, but there was no one there.

"They left a long time ago," Gu Kaichen spread his hands, "Mother, give me some money and I'll go buy it.

If only we could have a few more things ready.”

"More silver is needed. We only have 20 taels of silver. We already spent taels last night. How are we going to get by from now on?"

Xu Huizhen was really reluctant to pay, and looked directly at Liu Yun, "You guys also need this medicine, so you pay first. I'll pay later when you're done."

"Mom, my feet hurt," Liu Yun heard her son crying before she could think of an excuse to refuse.

Reluctantly, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Gu Kaiping, "Then go buy some medicine first, otherwise you won't be able to leave today."

She secretly told herself that she felt sorry for her child.

The blisters on the soles of her feet needed to be popped, and she hurriedly shouted, "Can you please get another needle?"

Gu Kaiping nodded and strode out. Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the house where he had purchased supplies yesterday, he found that it was already crowded with people, and the third brother and his wife were also here.

"Third brother, why are you here? Are you here to buy medicine too?" The Bai family did send two bottles of medicine yesterday, but no one knew what they were, and it didn't look like they were for treating wounds.

"We want to see if we can buy a water bag. We have a long journey ahead and it will be troublesome if we don't have water.

"Brother, I advise you to buy two more. You can go hungry, but you can't go without water." Gu Kaiyuan reminded him.

He had prepared some of this stuff before, so if he bought one now, he could secretly replace it when the time came.

"Yes, there are also water bags." Gu Kaiping did not bother to chat with Gu Kaiyuan and quickly squeezed into the crowd. There seemed to be not many leather bags there, so he had to grab them quickly.

When he came out after grabbing everything, he looked a little disheveled.

He quickly tidied his clothes and saw Gu Kaiyuan still waiting in line obediently. He couldn't help but smile sarcastically and walked inside.

"Where's the needle?"

Gu Kaiping then remembered that he had forgotten, "Just crush it with your fingers and apply the medicine directly. There's no need to be so particular."

Thinking of the scene just now, he didn't want to squeeze in anymore. It was simply disrespectful.

"You only bought one water bag?" Gu Baijiang pointed at his hand and asked, "We have such a big family, is one enough?"

“I managed to get this with great difficulty, while Kaiyuan was still standing in line like an idiot.

This water bag is not cheap, it costs two taels of silver."

Gu Baijiang looked at Xu Huizhen and said, "Give the boss another ounce of silver and buy five water bags."

"Another 1 tael of silver?" Xu Huizhen felt that if she continued to spend like this, even if she was given 2,000 taels, it would not be enough to get her to the place of exile.

"Don't talk nonsense. When you can't drink water, you'll know what it means to suffer."
