Chapter 50 It Doesn't Rain
"Okay, let's rest where we are." The officer rang a gong.
Hearing the sound of the gong, all the people in the exile team rushed towards the shade of trees on both sides of the official road.
Shangshu's family rushed to the shade of a big tree, Song Ziyao waved and said, "Shangshang, come here!"
Song Shangshang pulled the floor cart to the shade of the tree, put down the floor cart, wiped the sweat off his face with both hands, and exhaled.
It was too hot, so Song Changshang fanned the wind with his hands. It stands to reason that June should be a rainy season, but God has not rained for a month and a half.
These people have traveled all the way, from the first big rivers to the small rivers, and now the rivers they encounter are almost dry.
In the past few days, the meals given to them by the officials have changed from one bowl of porridge and one black-faced steamed bun to a meal of two black-faced steamed buns.
There is no more porridge.
If these people want to drink water, they find it from the nearby rivers, but the smaller rivers are dry, and the larger ones are also turbid.
People, animals, and birds all rush to drink.
"Why isn't it raining today?" Old Master Shangshu said with a sigh.
Another old man beside him answered, "That's right! If it doesn't rain again, we will not be tortured to death by the officials, but we will die of thirst on the way."
The officials did not give them water to drink, and the water they found themselves was mixed with mud and filtered several times before they could drink.
In fact, it's not that the officials didn't give these prisoners water to drink, but that they didn't have water to drink either.
"Boss, take a sip of water, we are almost there, we will arrive in Jingzhou City in four days, so we can replenish supplies." An official sent Gu Qing with a water bottle.
Gu Qing took a sip from the kettle, didn't drink much, and returned it to the official, whispering, "There are still four days."
"That's right! There are still four days to go. Jingzhou City is just past the Yunding Mountains in front of us. We should have enough water. Boss, please take a sip." The official said and sent the water bottle forward.
The eldest of them has not had a drop of water since they set off in the morning, and their lips are dry and chapped.
How can this be.
"You don't have to worry about me, what's going on with His Royal Highness King Jin?" Gu Qing looked at the carriage behind him.
The officer paused and said, "His Royal Highness King Jin should have enough!"
I don't know what hobbies these princes and grandchildren have, can't they go alone?They had to follow the exile team that escorted the prisoners.
Trouble, the other party is uncomfortable, and they are also uncomfortable.
When he set off from the capital, his colleagues still told him with a smile that escorting prisoners was a good job. Although the journey was a bit difficult, it was very greasy, and they could beat and scold these prisoners to vent their anger when things went wrong.
It's okay when you're lonely
He didn't touch any of the above things.
The boss does not allow them to torture prisoners on the road, let alone do that.
It's a bit oily, but not as much as others.
He earned 500 taels this way.
If Song Shangshang knew the thoughts of these officials, he would definitely spit out a mouthful of blood angrily.
Still not satisfied with earning 500 taels?She has no property of 500 taels in total.
"Little brother, little sister, mother, please try this fruit." Song Shangshang took out three black and purple cherries from his arms and handed them to the three of them respectively, and said, "This is the fruit I was eating in the morning." Picked it up on the road."
In fact, it was a discount in the fresh food section of the system mall, a flash kill, and only twenty points for three cherries.
Hey.
Her hand was almost snatched by her.
She ate one by herself last time and didn't give it to her family. She didn't eat it this time.
"This fruit is so fragrant!"
Before Song Huaizhi ate it, he was sure that the fruit in his hand must taste delicious.
After all, it smells so good, can it taste delicious?
