Chapter 62 062. Recovering from Injury
Bai Suihe and the others closed the door, and the two of them appeared in the space at the same time.

After eating and drinking enough and taking good care of himself for three days, Bai Suihe's wound on the sole of his foot scabbed over, and then he went out again.

Hearing the noise outside, the two chose to sleep directly in the room.

They ate well and slept well here, but they didn't know that the Gu family was tossing and turning.

They were all wondering where Gu Kaiyuan and his wife had gone.
Before going to bed, Gu Kaiping was still unwilling to give up and went to ask Ma Zhi. Ma Zhi glanced at him coldly and said, "Just take care of yourselves. There are some things you shouldn't ask about."

Listen to what he said, he was his own brother, but when he saw the whip in the other's hand, he didn't dare to say anything.

Chen Dafu was also keeping an eye on the Gu family that night, as the three boys from the Gu family did not come back all night.

With the sound of whips cracking, everyone opened their eyes immediately and stared blankly at the roof. The suffering of the day was about to begin again.

As long as they can endure for another half a day and leave Shangjing, the shackles on their bodies can be taken off. However, they don’t know that at that time, the distance they have to travel every day will increase.

After Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe received the steamed buns, Gu Kaiyuan put on his shackles again, filled his water tank and returned to the team.

They saw the Gu family staring at them coldly.

"Good morning, everyone! I didn't expect you guys to be faster than us today," Gu Kaiyuan said in surprise after greeting them. "You bought another skin bag! Isn't that a waste?"

"How could you be so wasteful? You must have spent quite a bit of money tonight, didn't you?" Xu Huizhen said sarcastically.

If there hadn't been a bailiff watching her closely, she would have started cursing.

She would say that these escorts were just meddling in her affairs. If they walked too slowly, they would beat them. If they spoke too loudly, they would also beat them. Sometimes they even intervened when she scolded her son. They were so worried about her. No wonder he was just a small yamen runner in his life.

It was only because his Gu family was in trouble that this little Luo Luo would not have caught her eye before.

"I was so tired yesterday that I forgot to tell my parents.

Suihe was pregnant and had been walking all day, so I couldn't give her a stable life. I could only find a quiet room for her to have a good night's rest.

I had thought I'd take care of her and then go over and share the hardship with everyone, but the journey was so tiring I just leaned over and ended up falling asleep."

Gu Kaiyuan said this with a shy smile, "I think father and mother can understand how difficult it is for Sui He to continue our family lineage. They can understand."

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaicheng both looked at Gu Kaiyuan with strange eyes. This younger brother used to be very low-key in the mansion. Could he be so good at talking?
Now that you've said all the good things, what should they say? How should you respond?
Gu Baijiang, "I didn't expect Kaiyuan to grow up and understand his wife. This is a good thing.

The Bai family has indeed worked hard and made great contributions to continue the family line, so as parents, we certainly cannot hold it against you.

Just remember to inform us before you do anything. We thought something happened to you and we were all worried all night."

Bai Suihe, "It's all my daughter-in-law's fault, and also my own body's fault. I'm afraid it will hurt the baby in my belly. If my parents don't like it, I won't dare to do it again even if I feel unwell in the future."

It's so annoying. I'm on the way to exile, and you still try this trick.

Bai Suihe secretly thought in his heart and continued to serve tea.

"It's all my fault that I put you in such a dangerous situation," Gu Kaiyuan supported Bai Suihe, "If you can't bear it along the way, how about I carry you on my back?"

Gu family, "..."

"Hurry up and get on with your business. What are you still dawdling about here?" Ma Zhi saw that the people in front had already walked far away, but they were still chatting here. He couldn't help but whipped them again.

Although he cracked the whip frequently, it rarely hit anyone. If he did, it would still delay everyone's journey. "What do you think they mean? Who are they performing for?" Bai Suihe didn't understand. In fact, he would rather his mother-in-law continued to curse like a shrew, so that everyone could have a good time.

"They want to control us," Gu Kaiyuan saw it more clearly than Bai Suihe.

"But they have obviously forgotten that Minister Gu no longer exists. We are all prisoners now. As long as we don't want to pursue a career in officialdom, they can't control us with those rules and etiquette.

The only thing that can be threatened is filial piety."

Bai Suihe, "Of course I know this, otherwise I would have fought back.

But we have to be clear in advance. If they go too far, I won't give in."

Bai Suihe stared at Gu Kaiyuan coldly. The book recorded that this person longed for family affection. Although he was hurt all over in the end, who knew if he would become confused again.

"Now I only know how to protect you and your daughter. Being parents is the common responsibility of the three of us brothers, and this is all I can do."

Bai Suihe couldn't say that she was satisfied with his answer, but she wasn't disappointed either. She'd just wait and see.

After hiding in the space and letting his foot recover, Bai Suihe felt much more relaxed that day and his foot was not as painful.

But the Gu family was not so lucky. They started falling while walking that day, and in the end they had to support each other.

Fortunately, all the women in the team did the same, so they didn't get beaten any more.

After eating steamed buns and drinking water for several days in a row, even the strongest body could not bear it. Many people collapsed before reaching the next station.

Gu Antong was also the first one in the Gu family to fall. Everyone gathered around Gu Antong, not knowing what to do.
"Give her some water," Old Madam Chen couldn't bear it any longer and reminded her.

The child is fainted. Why don't you give her some water or help her walk? What's the point of just standing around like this?

But there was no water left in their skins, so he looked to Gu Baijiang and the others for help.

Xu Huizhen still had feelings for her eldest granddaughter. "I'm out of water, too. Second, third, who has any?"

Gu Kaiyuan opened the leather bag with the opening facing downwards, and there was not a drop at all.

Gu Kaichen still had some left, and under the circumstances, he had to give them away.

"Please use it sparingly. Our whole family needs it." Xu Yulan was a little reluctant, but she also knew that there was no way to refuse.

Liu Yun took it and hurried to feed it to Gu Antong, but she didn't know the method and the water flowed down the corners of her mouth.

This made Gu Kaichen and the others very distressed. Although they could reach the post station soon and replenish water, this was the result of his hard work carrying it on his back.

Xu Yulan said without hesitation, "Sister-in-law, please be careful. We still need to drink."

She was so frugal and patient along the way, but who knew it would be wasted like this? If she had known, she would have drunk the water earlier.

Liu Yun was a little panicked when she saw so much water being lost, so she quickly pinched her chin and forced her to drink it.

It felt like just as I wet my mouth, this skin bag was empty.

"Gone?" Liu Yun shook it unwillingly, and the last two drops of water fell directly to the ground.
