My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Beside the lake, Black Horse immediately stood up when he saw Su Yunwan and four others appearing.

Su Yunwan patted the black horse's head and ordered: "Dahei, give Wu Shaohan a ride."

"Hiss—" the black horse made a high and long cry, full of reluctance.

"Be good, I'll give you something delicious to eat when I come back." As soon as Su Yunwan finished her words, she saw the big horse's hooves kicking incessantly, in a coquettish manner.

"That's all, I'm afraid of you." After Su Yunwan finished speaking, she turned around and asked Qin Junyi and the others to wait where she was, and she would come as soon as she left.

Su Yunwan walked into the dense forest, came to an open area, and sowed a handful of grass seeds on the spot.

This kind of seeds was collected after she discovered Dahei's favorite grass and ripened it.

Ever since she fed the grass that had ripened powers, Dahei seemed to have become a spirit. He could make expressions that Su Yunwan could interpret, and he was quite human.

It came close to Su Yunwan from time to time to beg for feeding, but Su Yunwan didn't want it to be picky and didn't let it get used to it.

Su Yunwan had an intuition that even if Qin Mu and Qin Junxian didn't find Dahei by the stream in the early morning, he would come back on his own after eating enough water and grass.

This is why she didn't tie Dahei to the tree trunk after going up the mountain, and didn't think about it all day long.

Now if you want it to work, give it a good meal.

Su Yunwan stretched out her right hand, made a gesture of holding flowers, and sprinkled water on the ground in front of her. A stream of light invisible to ordinary people flew out from the fingertips and landed on the ground.

The grasses took root, sprouted and grew vigorously. In the blink of an eye, they grew lush and green.

Su Yunwan put away her right hand and shouted towards the lake: "Dahei, come here!"

The big black horse ran non-stop towards the source of life. When he saw the grass that he was longing for, he immediately began to eat it.

Qin Junyi and three others followed closely. None of them, including Qin Junyi, knew about Su Yunwan's ripening ability. They were slightly stunned when they saw this. They had countless guesses in their minds, but they did not ask any questions.

Su Yunwan asked Wu Shaohan to put the big burden on the horse. Dahei shook his tail and didn't even raise his head buried in the haystack.

Thinking of Qin Junyu's injuries, Su Yunwan took out two more quilts and told Wu Shaohan: "Give these quilts to Ling Qi and Qin Junyu."

Wu Shaohan agreed, Qin Junyi moved his lips and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

He wanted to ask Wanwan to bring an extra quilt to his grandmother, but his grandmother's groundless accusations a few days ago made Wanwan feel cold.

With Wanwan's character, anyone who treats her well will be rewarded twice as much. She treats anyone who ignores them as a stranger. If anyone treats her badly, she will never give in.

She had a clear distinction between love and hate. She didn't say that she wouldn't let her grandmother use the cloak, but it was because of his affection. How could he have the face to ask again.

Su Yunwan didn't notice his slight expression, and handed Wu Shaohan a bottle of painkiller potion and asked him to give it to Jiang Xiaoliu.

Not long after, the horse burped after eating grass, automatically walked up to Su Yunwan, lowered his head and arched his head.

Su Yunwan chuckled lightly and patted its head, "Go!"

Wu Shaohan said goodbye to everyone and got on the horse. As soon as the reins were reined in, the horse was like a meteor and the man was like an arrow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only the sound of "ta da da" that gradually moved away.

*

On the bank of the Zhuo River, there is the camp of the exile team.

As Wu Shaohan guessed, a flood had just occurred here, and the river destroyed the bridge across the river.

Many refugees fleeing the famine were blocked from moving forward by the river water and were stranded on the shore. It was estimated that there were thousands of them.

Zhong Wei led the team to settle on a flat land one kilometer away from the refugees, and told everyone to be more vigilant, fearing that there would be another riot by refugees by the river who were not afraid of death.

Jiang Xiaoliu ran back from the direction of the refugees and gasped: "Uncle, I asked many people, and they all said that this broken bridge is the only way to the other side nearby. If we take a detour, we will have to walk for at least ten days. , they are all waiting for the government to send people to repair the bridge."

"How long does this have to wait?"

"No one can say for sure, and the government doesn't believe it. What should we do?"

"We'll spend tonight first, and we'll see what happens in the morning." Zhong Wei looked at the turbulent river in the distance in the dusk, his brows furrowed, "Tell Boss Liu to cut the prisoner's dinner in half. There's not enough food."

Last night the official was robbed of a cart of food, and now his way was blocked by a river. The food crisis was once again in front of us.

This time is different from before. All the Qin family's supplies were destroyed and they had to rely on the Chu family for help. The Chu family also suffered a lot in the riot, and they had to take care of the twenty or so people in the Qin family, so there was no extra rice to borrow.

Zhong Wei looked up at the dusk sky and sighed secretly.

Not far away, the Qin family.

Under Qin Mu's arrangement, everyone hunted, gathered, and cooked. Everyone was busy but orderly.

Qin Ruolan and Mr. Pei were isolated from the outside, sitting on the harsh gravel ground with tired faces, waiting for food.

Pei was waiting for the vegetarian food provided by the Qin family.

Since she became a monk, she has not eaten a bite of meat and was strictly required by Qin Mu to abide by the nun's precepts.

Qin Mu also specifically warned Qin Junxian and Qin Ruolan in front of Pei that if anyone spoiled Pei's practice by feeding meat behind his back, he would send Pei to a nunnery along the way and leave her to fend for herself.

With Zhong Wei's attitude towards the Qin family, it would be easy to ask him to turn a blind eye and report him to the death list.

The three Pei family members were frightened and did not dare to make any small moves behind their backs. She could only eat whatever the Qin family gave her.

Sometimes it’s a bowl of porridge, sometimes it’s a bowl of rice, paired with wild vegetables or pickled vegetables that are not oily. She ate tasteless food and refused to part with it. After all, if she didn't eat, she would starve.

In the first few days, she couldn't bear it anymore and went on a hunger strike to resist, but Qin Junyi was as hard as iron. Instead of compromising, he listened to Qin Mu's words, scolded her for wasting food, and cut off the supply directly.

It wasn't until Pei was starving to death and sincerely admitted his mistake that Qin Junyi resumed worship.

From then on, she never dared to be dissatisfied with her food.

Now that the Pei family is enshrined by the Qin family, Qin Ruolan can only eat the food provided by the government because her three-day punishment has not passed.

Even though she was frightened by the assassination last night, and even though she walked all day without a carriage, Qin Junyi did not end her punishment early.

From morning to now, Qin Ruolan has only eaten one coarse grain steamed bun. She is already dizzy from hunger and feels so aggrieved that she just wants to shed tears.

When she received the steamed bun that was half the size from the official messenger, she burst into tears with grief.

Mrs. Pei's eyes were red with distress, and she begged "Qin Junyi" in a bitter voice: "Brother Yi, I ate all this stuff in just three or two mouthfuls, and it's not enough for Lan Lan to eat. She knows she's wrong, please spare her!" "

The substitute Lingqi showed no mercy to Qin Ruolan. He followed his master's will and said with a cold face: "The three-day deadline has not come yet. Let alone lack of food, she will have to suffer even if there is no food."

Pei collapsed and shouted, "How could you do this? She is your biological sister!"

Lingqi winked at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu said unscrupulously: "What about my sister? She did something wrong and deserves to be punished. You, a monk, interfered in the affairs of the world because you were too full. Well, why don't you also go and eat the food provided by the officials?"

Pei's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and after a few breaths, it turned into a painful cry.

This scene was watched by everyone in the Chu family next door, and Chu Shao showed a thoughtful expression.
