Kuai Chuan: I don’t get along with my family’s golden finger.

After breakfast, the exiled team set off again.

Because we rested for a day at the inn, everyone felt much better.

Although they were taking the official road, they would pass through a mountain forest in the next few days.

Even if there is no banditry here, the temperature in the forest at night is very low, and there may be wild beasts here. It is fine during the day, but as the sun sets, everyone becomes vigilant.

They were lucky. When they were about to take a rest, they saw a ruined temple in the distance.

"Everyone, hurry up. Today we will rest in the ruined temple in front." Looking at the ruined temple in front, an official said loudly to everyone.

As soon as they heard that they were about to arrive at the resting place, which was still a ruined temple that could provide shelter from wind and rain, the prisoners couldn't help but quicken their pace.

Soon, everyone arrived in front of the ruined temple.

This is a mountain temple built on the mountain. In addition to the three main halls, there are two side halls on each side.

However, this place seems to have been abandoned for a long time. The gate of the courtyard has disappeared. One of the side halls on the left has collapsed in half, and the other one is also crumbling.

The right side is better, but there are also several big holes in the roof, and only the four walls can barely block the wind.

Only half of the door of the main hall is left. Fortunately, the main hall should have been made of fine materials when it was originally built. Although it is a little dilapidated now, it is still very complete.

Even though the tiles on the main hall are broken and may leak when it rains heavily, it is still no problem to spend the night here.

"A few people will come and clean this place, and the rest of you can find a place to rest by yourselves."

After entering the ruined temple, the leading officer looked at the situation of the ruined temple and said to the prisoners.

His officers had quickly arranged for people to clean up.

This mountain temple is not too big, and they have enough manpower. It didn't take long for the place to be cleaned up.

It's just a temporary stay here for one night. You don't need to clean it too carefully. The main thing is to clean the floor, which is actually not troublesome.

While some people were cleaning the ruined temple, two officials went hunting in the nearby mountains.

Some prisoners also followed them to the mountains. It would be best if they could catch prey. Even if they couldn't, it would be nice to pick up some wild vegetables or something.

The person who went to the Lin family was Lin Jiangyuan.

If it had been before, Lin Ji and his wife would definitely have been worried.

But now Lin Jiangyuan has martial arts by his side. Because of his good talent and strength, he is the strongest in the family except Jiang Che, so everyone feels relieved about him.

As for Jiang Che, he was left by the youngest official to select ingredients for dinner.

After eating the food he cooked, how could these officials eat the food they made themselves that only made their stomachs wet?

Because of yesterday's meal, the officials took great care of their family today.

One of the officers even hinted to them during their lunch break that if they were tired, they could take a rest in the carriage.

For this reason, Jiang Che would almost bribe these officials with delicious food.

They had just left the inn in the morning, and the ingredients carried by the two carriages were still very fresh, so Jiang Che naturally cooked more.

As for the staple food, it is a circle of pancakes stuck on the fish stew pot.

Fortunately, this pot is a large one, otherwise it might not be enough to eat.

When the two hunting officers came back, they brought back two pheasants.

According to the requirements of the officials, Jiang Che made both pheasants into beggar's chickens, and the taste was still as good as before.

After everyone found their seats and settled down, Jiang Che's meal was ready.

All the officials couldn't wait to gather around and began to feast.

After rejecting the invitation of the officials to eat together, Jiang Che returned to his family, where they also lit a bonfire.

The hare caught by Lin Jiangyuan has also been processed, and he is just waiting for Jiang Che to come over and roast it.

After simply marinating the hare and roasting it over the fire, Jiang Che made another simple rice wine and egg drop soup.

Rice wine was sold by Uncle Chang at the inn before he set off. There was a big jar.In the words of his old man, the humidity gets heavier as you go south, so drinking some rice wine can drive away the cold and dampness.

As for the staple food, it is the steamed buns made yesterday. Just bake them on the fire.

The roasted buns are fragrant and the taste is no worse than freshly baked buns.

Although other families were also attracted by the fragrance, those who had some money also bought something from the inn.

It's hard to say in the future, but at least they have no shortage of food today.

So even though they were a little greedy, everyone didn't have any special reaction, they just ate their food silently.

The direct line of the Lin family was greedy for the rabbit meat and wanted to make a scene, but was suppressed by the official.

Not only that, the official also drove them all into the yard on the grounds that they were too noisy.

They exiled more than 100 people this time. Even if this is a side palace, this mountain temple cannot accommodate so many people. There are always people living outside.

Now that more than 20 members of the direct lineage of the Lin family have been kicked out, a large area of ​​​​space has been naturally freed up, allowing those who could only squeeze outside against the wall to take advantage.

The direct lineage was naturally very angry about this, but after so many days, they had almost recognized the reality and did not dare to go against Guan Cha.

They could only blame each other and lie on the ground outside the courtyard.

Although there is a bonfire in the yard, even if the corner can block the wind a little, the cold is still much heavier than in the room.

Many people were still very cold even if they were wrapped in quilts and gathered around the campfire.

The most terrible thing is that in the middle of the night, not only did it get windy outside, but it also started raining heavily.

Those sleeping outside were woken up by the rain, and ran into the main hall one by one wrapped in quilts.

In the side hall, a large area of ​​the ground was wet due to rain leakage. Many people's quilts were wet, so they could only use the bonfire to bake their quilts in the middle of the night.

"Everyone squeezes in. If there's no room, don't lie down. Sit against the wall."

The leading officer looked at the heavy rain outside and frowned, and said impatiently to the noisy prisoners.

As for Jiang Che's family, because they were relatively close to these officials and in the corner, no one came here.

"Brother, I don't know when the rain will stop. I'm afraid tomorrow's trip will be delayed." A middle-aged official stood next to his boss, frowning as he looked at the heavy rain outside.

"We'll wait a day tomorrow. If the rain doesn't stop, we'll have to brave the rain the day after tomorrow and rush out." The leading officer gritted his teeth.

"If we rush on this journey in the rain, I'm afraid most of the prisoners won't be able to hold on. There are orders from above for this group of people. If too many people die, we won't be able to get away with it even if we arrive on time." The middle-aged official hesitated. Said immediately.

Traveling on the road is hard work, and if it rains, these people will most likely get cold.

On such a journey of exile, death is not far away if you catch the cold.
