The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 181 Exile 8

"Yaoyao, go to sleep first. Dad will take care of these things."

"Dad, there's no need to watch. We're in this desolate mountain area. Even if someone took our things, we'd be able to find out quickly."

"Alas, Yaoyao, you don't know the human heart. There are so many exiled people now. If a larger family comes to rob us, we are just a few people and we won't be able to win. Especially your grandmother's five sons. They are trying to rob the four of us. How can they win?"

Chao Yao immediately understood that there were indeed many such things in the original body's memory.

Those five uncles would come to our house every year and steal things from the house in the name of supporting our parents.

To say that they themselves are not living a bad life, but they just can't stand seeing Chaotian's life being better.

The relationship between these brothers is also strange.

However, the world is so big that all kinds of things are possible. Even sisters can become enemies, let alone brothers?

"Okay, I get it, Dad."

Chao Yao didn't continue to persuade him. After a while, she would just let him fall asleep.

Chao Tiancai is also an ordinary mortal. It is because of his responsibilities as a husband and a father that he still has to take care of his family even when he is very tired.

Chao Yao began to doze off, and after moving his fingers, Chao Tian also fell into a deep sleep.

She cast another illusion as usual, and then let the whole family lie down in bed and sleep.

You can't really lie on the ground every day. Not to mention the bugs and ants, even the moisture on the ground would be unbearable.

After the whole family fell asleep, Chaoyao began to transform all the bamboo products made that night, including the cart.

This cart must be pushed by Chao Tiancai every day. Even if other people want to help, he will not let them.

So what Chaoyao can do is to make the cart easier to push and make people sitting on it feel more comfortable.

It will take at least three months to walk from here to the north, and a lot of things will be collected along the way, so the importance of this cart is self-evident.

The next morning, early in the morning, the bearded man woke up just as it was daybreak.

Chao Yao quickly put all his family members on the ground, put away the bed, and then removed the illusion.

Soon, the officers and soldiers asked everyone to get up. After Yang Tiaotiao woke up, she felt relaxed all over.

"Why do I feel more relaxed after taking a nap on the road of exile than sleeping at home before?"

Chaotian also woke up. The first thing he did was to check everything he had made last night. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was intact.

Chao Yuebai was indeed still young. He didn't think there was anything wrong at all. When he saw the big cart in front of him and all kinds of things, his face was full of excitement. He touched this and looked at that.

Chao Yao made up an excuse, "Maybe we were too tired yesterday, so we felt much better after a good night's sleep."

Yang Tiaotiao nodded seriously, "It could be true, right?"

She touched the newly made cart and her face was full of joy.

Yang Tiaotiao looked at Chao Tiancai with eyes full of admiration and love. She said gently, "My husband, you are really amazing. This cart is so sturdy and so comfortable to sit on. It will make our journey much easier. You are really the pillar of this family. What would we do without you?"

Chao Yuebai also echoed his mother's words. He jumped onto the cart excitedly, waving his hands and saying, "Dad, you are such a genius! This cart is so great, it's more comfortable than the horse-drawn carriage at home! I will sit on it every day in the future and let everyone envy me for having such a great dad!"

Chao Tiancai was a little embarrassed by his wife and son's praise. He scratched his head and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? I just did something within my ability. As long as our family works together, we can overcome any difficulties. Yuebai, you must remember that no matter what difficulties you encounter, you must face them bravely."

Chao Yao looked at the three of them and finally understood why Yang Tiaotiao still acted like a child even at this age.

A woman who is loved remains a girl until she dies.

Chao Yuebai has such a father as a role model. As long as he grows up healthy, he will not be bad at all.

The bearded man suddenly announced to everyone: "Rest here and set off in a quarter of an hour!"

The family hadn't even had breakfast yet, and now they had to suddenly set off on their journey.

Chao Tiancai drove Chao Yuebai into the bamboo shed, holding Yang Tiaotiao with one hand.

"Yaoyao, come in. Let's rest in the shed for a while."

When the family of four entered the shed, Chao Yao immediately covered the shed with bamboo mats so that people outside could not see what was inside the shed.

Yang Tiaotiao took out some buns and porridge from the space. These things had no smell and were easily discovered by others.

Of course, this is just her opinion. How can a meat bun be tasteless?

Chao Yao quietly set up a barrier to prevent people outside from really smelling the scent.

After the family had eaten and drunk their fill and had packed up, they left the shed.

Mrs. Wu and her five sons also rushed over. Just as they were about to point at Chao Tian and say something, two soldiers suddenly came over and hit Chao Lao Da with whips.

"I told you to rest here, what do you guys want to do?"

When the boss was beaten, the others dragged him away immediately.

Chaotian breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as he saw the posture of these people, he knew that the bamboo cart was being targeted.

I worked hard all night to edit this thing, and I don’t want to give it to others at all.

"Keep going!"

The bearded man gave an order, and everyone stood up and walked forward, dragging their shackles.

After walking all day yesterday, many people's shoes were worn out.

In the past, most people lived a life of luxury, and when they wore shoes, they did not care about how sturdy they were, but rather focused on being gorgeous and comfortable.

However, on the road of exile, these shoes were not practical. They would wear out if they walked a little more, so that on the next day, some people had to walk barefoot.

The shackles and ankles kept rubbing against each other, and many people's ankles were bleeding.

Not long after they set out, several people fell down.

The soldier whipped the man with a whip and ended up beating him to death.

The person who was beaten to death was a middle-aged man. He was the pillar of his family, but now he was lying on the dirt road, motionless.

His family, including his wife and two children, cried out loudly as they threw themselves on him, trying in vain to wake him.

"You bastards! Why did you beat him to death?!"

The man's wife cried out in despair, her voice filled with endless grief and anger.

She struggled to stand up and rush towards the soldiers, but was stopped by other soldiers with spears.

"If you dare to cause trouble again, you will be the next to die!"

The soldiers threatened viciously, their faces full of indifference and cruelty.

The people around them retreated one after another. They knew that in this chaotic world, they, the exiled criminals, had no dignity or rights at all.

They can only endure the suffering and torture silently, waiting for the unknown end.
