Along the way, the guards always took the exiled prisoners along the official road, but this time, they had to take a detour.

There is a section of the road from this county to the next that is impassable because of a landslide. If you want to go there, you can only go around the foot of the mountain.

The officers had no choice but to grit their teeth and lead the exiled prisoners around the mountain.

The original two-day journey may now take three days to complete.

Every time the police officers arrived in a county, they could only receive an estimated number of days of dry food to go on the road.

This time, because we had to take a detour, we had to save food and water for an extra day.

Some guards were afraid that they would not have enough, so they took away food and drink from prisoners, so that many prisoners had nothing to eat on the second day.

Half of the Su family's food rations were also robbed.

However, the water bags each of them had were not taken away. Ying Bao added spiritual spring water to them from time to time and drank them when they were thirsty. This was able to replenish a lot of physical strength and prevent them from being like the other two families who were exiled.

Many of them fainted from exhaustion, and then were woken up to continue walking.

But they didn't know that Yingbao had set up an automatic cup refill function. They were afraid that the water would not be enough for the three-day journey, so they drank sparingly. They couldn't stand it any longer, so they took a sip.

The prisoners all ate steamed buns on the morning of the first day. When it was lunch time, because they had to take a detour, the guards expected that there would be insufficient food, so they shortened the prisoners' rations and put together lunch and dinner.

eat.

Therefore, many prisoners were extremely hungry and walked listlessly, unable to stop and rest even if they wanted to.

In order to hurry, the guards went around the mountains before dark and kept urging them. Some prisoners were so hungry that they couldn't walk. The guards beat them with whips and forced them to leave even if they couldn't walk.

It wasn't until we finished circling the entire mountain that we could finally take a break.

The group of people settled in a dilapidated temple, and the diner finally got half a steamed bun.

However, this half steamed bun was not even enough to fill the gap between the teeth of the prisoners who had been hungry for a day.

The guards ate the prisoners' portions and were half full.

Many prisoners really couldn't stand the pain of hunger and begged the guards to give them the other half of the steamed buns that belonged to them.

But no matter how hard they begged, it was of no avail.

After all, the guards themselves have to ensure that they are well fed first. As for the prisoners, as long as they don't starve to death, that's fine.

Seeing the prisoner still begging, the deputy leader suddenly thought of something, walked up to Liu Jiaojiao, lifted her chin, and smiled lewdly.

"You are really a beauty. No wonder Officer Huang fell in love with you at first sight. You are so tender and tender, so lovable..."

Liu Jiaojiao was also dizzy from hunger at this time. If Su Erlang hadn't dragged her away, she might not have been able to get out of the mountain.

At this moment, she touched her chin with a pair of rough hands, and she suddenly felt nauseated.

Before she could speak, Su Erlang hugged her into his arms and stared at the deputy leader warily: "Don't touch my wife!"

The deputy leader laughed, took out a steamed bun from his arms, and waved it in front of Liu Jiaojiao, who was starving with hunger: "Beauty, if you sleep with me for one night, I will give you this whole steamed bun."

!”

Liu Jiaojiao looked at the steamed bun, her eyes rolling.

For the first time, I felt that steamed buns were really white, soft, and delicious.

But couldn't eat it.

"Jiaojiao, don't agree to him!" Su Erlang looked at his wife worriedly, fearing that she would agree to sell herself for a steamed bun.

Although Liu Jiaojiao's eyes were fixed on the steamed bun, her words were very firm: "If you ask me to sell myself to a vulgar servant like you for a mere steamed bun, I would rather starve to death!"

Hearing Liu Jiaojiao's words, Su Erlang hugged his beloved wife even more distressed, wishing he could cut off his flesh for her to eat.

The deputy leader didn't expect Liu Jiaojiao to be so hungry and still have the guts to reject him, and couldn't help but become angry from shame.

"I see you are really punishing me with a toast! I..."

Before he finished speaking, a timid voice suddenly sounded: "Master, I am willing to sleep with you all night. Can you give me that steamed bun to eat?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look over.

It was actually Su Dalang's concubine Xia Cao.

As soon as she said these words, she was slapped hard by Su Dalang's wife Qin Ying.

"You greedy bitch! Now you are the concubine of the great man, how could you do such a debauched thing?"

Unexpectedly, Xia Cao slapped Qin Ying with his backhand, and smiled coldly: "Why are you betraying the master? You are all exiled prisoners like me now, and you are all common people who have been demoted to the border. Why are you superior to me?"

?

Now this official is our food, clothing, and parent. I want to rely on him to make my life easier. What's wrong with that? Do you have to work hard like you and don't know if you can reach the place of exile alive?

If you ask me, you should learn from me. Those who know the current affairs are heroes..."

With a "pop" sound, Xia Cao's other face was slapped again.

This time it was Su Dalang who hit him.

He hugged his legal wife and his face turned red with anger: "Xia Cao, I didn't expect you to be such a person. In vain, I wanted to promote you as my equal wife, but you betrayed my trust in you like this!

"

"Haha!" Xia Cao laughed sarcastically: "You are just an exiled prisoner. Even in the place of exile, you are still a humble commoner. Who would care to be your equal wife? Even if you give me the status of a head wife, I

I don’t even like it!”

"You, you..." Su Dalang was so angry that he couldn't speak. He raised his hand and wanted to slap Xia Cao a second time.

"Da Lang!" Old General Su suddenly stopped, his voice was stern: "Don't lose the grace of our Su family!"

Mrs. Su also spoke from the side, looking at Xia Cao with sharp old eyes, and said: "In this case, why not ask all the officials present to testify, from now on, she will no longer be part of my Su family.

!”

"No, it's not. What I regret most now is becoming a member of your Su family. If I hadn't made a miscalculation, how could I have suffered this exile with you!" Xia Cao did not regret being a member of the Su family at all.

Seeing that Xia Cao was willing to break up with the Su family in order to sleep with him, the deputy leader felt a sense of vanity in his heart.

He smiled and said: "Not bad, not bad. It seems that you are a very knowledgeable woman. You know how to understand the current affairs and become a talented person. I want you! If you follow me from now on, I will definitely take good care of you!"

After saying that, he immediately asked his men to untie Xia Cao's anklets.

He also deliberately glanced at Liu Jiaojiao and snorted: "Some people are just stupid and miss such a good opportunity in vain, but there will never be a second time!"

Liu Jiaojiao turned her face to one side and buried herself in Su Erlang's arms.

She didn't see this as an opportunity at all.

Ying Bao was nestled in the arms of her parents. Watching this farce, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart.
