Chapter Seventy-Two: The Deep Pit of Sixty Miles a Day with a Rope and a Flail
Xiao Yuqi pouted depressedly, her eyes turned to the two brothers, she also followed her mother's example, and came up to grab the brothers in front of her to say hello.
"Brother, brother, how are you?".
asked so on her lips, but in her heart she thought arrogantly, hmph, she still has a brother! Although my mother forgot about herself for a while, she said very sadly.
Xiao Yulou and Xiao Yuyang dot on their sister very much, although they don't have a good time in prison, but as little men, no matter how bad they are, they won't complain to their sister, after all, they are also the ones who want to protect their sister!
Xiao Yulou raised his hand like a little adult, gently touched his sister's head, and smiled lightly, "Qiqi is good, brother is fine." When we met in a hurry last night, he didn't have time to say hello to his sister, in fact, he really missed his sister and his mother.
Xiao Yulou sighed, Xiao Yuyang on the side was not happy that the eldest brother would monopolize his sister, so he came up to squeeze the eldest brother away and occupy the favorable terrain.
"Yes, yes, Qiqi, your brother and I are amazing, I haven't cried, I'll tell you ......."
The second Xiao Yuyang is like that, seeing the eldest brother comforting the younger sister and currying favor in front of his sister, he almost immediately forgot the hardships he endured in prison, and immediately jumped over, patting his chest and begging for praise in front of his sister.
Xiao Yuqi looked at the appearance of his eldest brother and second brother, and knew that the two little brothers were still very good, they really deserved to be their own elder brothers, they were super small and strong in adaptability, and they were not defeated and decadent in the face of difficulties, especially the second brother, who can still have the innocence and vitality of the little cub now, which is very good! Very small and strong!
Just when someone expressed his emotion in his heart, suddenly, I don't know when, in the open space where they were, there were several teams of about 20 people wearing black and red soap clothes, pinning a bright big blade to their waists, holding a bundle of thick hemp rope in their hands, and all of them came with evil spirits and bad faces.
Especially the one who was at the head actually had a long whip in his hand that smelled of blood.
There was a crackling sound.
The voice interrupted the prisoners who were still reminiscing and greeting each other, and all of them looked towards the whip flogger standing at the Yongdao crossing.
The other party was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and nodded secretly, but there was a cold smile on his lips, his eyes glanced at all of them sharply, and his tone was full of warning and threat.
"Excellent! Now, all the people present listen carefully to a certain person, today's words, a certain only said once, if anyone present can't remember, or deliberately did it against a certain person, then I'm sorry, don't blame the whip in a certain hand does not recognize people, and the steel knife on a certain waist wants to drink blood! ”。
Even the words of intimidation and intimidation, after even eliminating the words, the vast majority of the people who have been tortured and suppressed in prison for too long, who have softened their bones and unloaded their courage, are like quails and do not speak.
Even if there are some people with bones, or people who pretend to be soft, just like their own family, they are honestly shrinking their heads and not rising.
With such an attitude, the whip man at the head nodded with more satisfaction.
"A certain name is Wu Jie, a certain person doesn't mind if you all call a certain Wu Ye, this is going to the northwest for thousands of miles, and a certain person has brought a large class to escort you over, so you have to rely on your own two legs to finish it for a certain Ansheng! I don't expect you to honestly pretend to be quails, but, before leaving, I will also say ugly things in front of you, don't give me any bad ideas or trouble along the way, if you cooperate honestly, you are not a ruthless person, and you will be sent to the ground! But what if you're not being honest? ”。
Wu Ye sneered again, licking his teeth, "Hehe...... I don't mind if someone goes missing along the way! ”。
After the intimidation and warning, another yacha who had been waiting on the side stepped forward and came to this Wu Ye and whispered, "Head, the hour is not early, you see?" ”。
After being reminded by his subordinates, Wu Ye understood, nodded and raised his hand to signal that his subordinates could act.
After the other party received the order, he hurriedly took a few steps back and waved his hand, and the twenty men with hemp ropes behind him stepped forward a few steps together, made preparations, and walked towards the prisoners present.
Xiao Yuqi didn't understand what the other party was going to make with the hemp rope, and when he subconsciously put on a defensive posture, the Wu Ye above spoke again.
"This to the northwest, the road is far away, you have to travel sixty miles a day, in order to prevent you from being confused, all the men wearing flail need to tie the rope to move forward, the women and children can follow the left and right, now, give you a quarter of an hour, so the men stand according to the family rank, tie the rope!"
"Wow!".
With Wu Ye's right hand swinging down heavily, twenty officials stepped forward in response and immediately took action.
"Mother?" , What is that Wu Ye above, she can't understand a lot of what she said, how to break it?
It's just that I don't understand anymore, seeing such an old man coming forward with a rope, it is not good to see it, Xiao Yuqi was subconsciously uneasy, and hurriedly raised his head, and hurriedly reached out to pull his mother who was standing next to his father.
Seeing this, Li Yurong hurriedly touched the top of her daughter's head comfortingly, "Qi'er, it's okay, stand still, we can set off in a while, good." ”。
"Don't be afraid, brother."
"Yes, sister, don't be afraid, my brother is also here."
The brothers took a step forward and held their sister's hand left and right, Xiao Yuqi saw that her mother's expression was calm and calm, not like she was worried and scared, and when she saw the two brothers next to her, she held her hand again, even if she wanted to, she couldn't show it, and she stopped eating instantly.
"Oh." , nodded obediently, Xiao Yuqi kept reading in his heart, I am a good baby, I am obedient, I am a wooden man, I am not moving to hypnotize myself.
It is no joke to walk sixty miles a day, and in order not to delay time, the yacha move very quickly.
Also, if you don't hurry up, you will have to go out of the city gate and encounter the people who see you off, and you may not be able to complete the sixty miles today.
If you can't finish it, it's a small thing for this group of sinners to suffer, and it's a big thing for them to suffer with it, right?
These low-level officials, not to mention the hardships of life, are not high.
The tolerance of the escort on a trip, the wind and food along the way are very hard, and the soles of the shoes do not know how many pairs they have to break.
If the escort prisoners you meet have a little foundation, and you meet a leader who is generous and kind-hearted, they can drink some soup after the leader, and they can always get some benefits and compensation.
If they encounter a prisoner who can't blow up a little oil, or if the leader is a stingy picker, they will also suffer from sin, and they will not get a little sweetness.
At present, these sinners don't know if they can have some oil and water, if they don't go a little more and move faster, in case they can't walk 60 miles a day, and they can't get to the post station or the designated county office, won't they have to suffer?
