The long exile procession, slowly leaving Kyoto in the morning light, poured into the endless wilderness in front of them, just entered May, the weather is getting warmer, in the morning you can still see the figures of people working in the grange, in the afternoon, the eyes are more and more desolate, in the early spring twilight, the exiles are full of desolation.

Out of Kyoto, the first one to turn over is Huanxi Mountain, the noon sun is very poisonous, the mighty crowd walks under the scorching sun, men with shackles, the old and the young support each other, obviously dozens of people, but quiet except for the sound of hurrying, there is not a word.

In front are the family members of some minor officials who have committed crimes, the Mo family walks in the middle, and the Kong family walks at the end, except for the beginning of Mo Shangshu and the old lady Kong, and Mrs. Mo's ridicule, the Mo family no longer cares about the Kong family.

The two families are also considered in-laws, just because Kong Heren sent his youngest daughter away as a concubine before the accident, this matter can't be hidden, and the Mo family heard the letter before the house was raided, and they only hate that they are in trouble now, and there is no way to be so humiliated.

Seeing that the two families were on the road together again, the Mo family obviously had prejudices against the Kong family.

At first, everyone didn't think anything, but after a morning, they only shared a little dry food and water for lunch at noon, and they didn't even have time to rest, so they hurried to go, and waited until the second half of the sound, the men walked heavily, and the bodies of the women and children swayed, and their physical strength was obviously gone.

The officers knew that they couldn't get people too hard, and as soon as they left and right out of Kyoto, the terrain was stable, and they were not afraid of accidents, so they shouted to rest.

As soon as they heard that they could rest, everyone immediately found a place to sit down, and the men were also struggling to sit down with shackles, so Kong Yan found a place with shade in the trees, so that her grandfather could lean on and reduce the weight of the shackles, so that she untied the water bladder belt, poured the water inside into the aluminum bucket, and handed it to her grandfather first.

Mrs. Kong waved her hand, Kong Heren watched it from the side, and immediately stretched out his hand, "I'll drink." ”

Old Lady Kong frowned, "Let the women drink first." ”

Kong Heren's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and he withdrew his hand with a sneer, "That's what Father said." ”

Kong Yan was not polite, turned around and handed the aluminum bucket to Lu Lian first, "Sister Lian, you and Brother Ye drink first, Brother Ye is weak now, make up more water." ”

Lu Lian's hesitation, after hearing the latter sentence, he said thank you softly, took it, and gently fed Brother Ye to drink water, Brother Ye was only three years old, and he was already thirsty, but he still drank it very regularly, and when Brother Ye finished drinking, Lu Lian only drank two sips, and then handed the aluminum bucket back to Kong Yan's hand.

Kong Yan handed it to the aunt beside him again, the corners of Kong Guangzhu's mouth were already dry and cracked, but he still waved his hand and refused, "Drinking water after drying like this is not good for health, I'll wait until the evening to replenish the water." ”

All:.....

Kong Yan couldn't stand it anymore, so she persuaded, "Auntie, take a sip." ”

The lips were cracked and bleeding.

Kong Guangzhu stubbornly shook his head and refused, Kong Yan couldn't hand the aluminum bucket to his mother beside him, and Li only drank two sips, but the water was really limited, and the men in the family hadn't drunk it yet.

Kong Yan took two sips before handing over the bucket again.

Kong Heren took it as soon as possible, poured a few big mouthfuls, and then sighed comfortably and handed the bucket to his son beside him.

Kong Yun looked at the remaining two mouthfuls of water in the bucket, swallowed his saliva, and handed the bucket to Old Lady Kong, "Grandfather, I'm not thirsty, you can drink it." ”

Old lady Kong has been closing his eyes to recuperate, he slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the aluminum barrel, and said, "I'm not thirsty, you drink, there is still a way to go, and on the road in a while, you help the sister of the Lu family to hug Brother Ye." ”

Kong Yun listened, and then obediently drank the rest of the water.

After a sip of water, after the family pushed it, only Kong Heren drank the most happily, no matter how dull Kong Heren was, he also found out at this time, thinking that he had been humble to each other since he was a child, only he drank happily, and he was a little embarrassed and wanted to hide, and it was not a taste in his heart.

The atmosphere was obviously no different, but he just felt a little embarrassed, so he pretended to be relaxed and found his own words, "Now that I have entered the mountain, there are many streams in the mountain, and I will go to fetch water then." ”

Everyone saw that he felt that he had no face, and the younger generation was not easy to answer, and Mrs. Kong was too lazy to speak, and no one answered him for a while.

Kong Heren laughed dryly and found a topic by himself, "Why is the Mo family sitting so far away from us?" ”

Seeing that he was really puzzled, Kong Guangzhu reminded him, "Big brother, you shouldn't ask others about this, right?" ”

Kong Heren listened in a fog, "Then who should I ask?" ”

Kong Yun said quietly, "I asked my father myself." ”

Kong Heren hadn't rounded the bend at this time, but his son's tone just made him unhappy, and he put on the style of being a father, "Is this the tone in which you speak to your father?" ”

Kong Yun didn't care about being reprimanded, "I don't dare to say it directly, I'm also worried that my father will languish at this time, and now I see that my father can still care about other things, so it's okay for me to say it directly." Father sent Sister Wan to be a concubine, which family in Kyoto doesn't know, Sister Wan was the daughter-in-law of Mofu who didn't pass the door, and my father ruined the marriage between the two mansions like this, and even the relatives have not retreated, what does my father think Mofu should do to our family? ”

Kong Heren was slightly stunned, only then did he remember, but he didn't feel good in his heart, his daughter was so good, if he was exiled with them, he couldn't accept it when he thought about it, the prince of the Guogong Mansion really liked Sister Wan, otherwise he wouldn't have begged to go afterwards.

He was stunned for a while, "I feel guilty about Mofu, but I can't look at the fire pit and let my children jump in, no parent can do it." ”

"What about Sister Yan? Since the father loves his daughter, why doesn't the eldest sister care? Kong Yun asked directly.

Kong Heren wants to say that the prince of the Guogong Mansion is not interested in his sister-in-law? But in front of his daughter, he couldn't say this, but his son was aggressive, Kong Heren looked at Mrs. Kong on the side for help like a wronged child.

"Father...."

Old lady Kong hummed lightly, but did not answer, compared with this calm and calm, Kong Heren is like an ignorant child.

The father didn't judge, and the son didn't respect him, Kong Heren felt aggrieved, his eyes narrowed, his mouth pouted, and he was about to cry when he choked twice.

When Kong Heren's father and son were talking, the mentioned Kong Yan kept his eyes slightly lowered, she moved her eldest brother to repay her grievances, as for her father's partiality, she had long been numb and no longer extravagant after living for two lifetimes.

Feeling her hand being held, she raised her eyes, and she gave a reassuring smile to Lu Lian's worried eyes.

Lu Lian felt that someone was looking at him, he raised his eyes to Shangkong Guangzhu's gritted teeth, and he curled the corners of his lips and returned a sweet smile.

Kong Guangzhu: .....

Li had been holding her breath since she was raiding the house, and now when she saw that her husband was about to cry again, she glanced left and right, got up and picked up the branches a few steps away, broke off the excess branches, and held the half-fist-thick stick in her hand, she weighed it, and the weight was enough.
