Chapter 252: The Cubs Being Treated as Two-legged Sheep on the Road to Exile (2)
Outside an unknown small county town,
Zhou Yayi, the officer who escorted the exiled prisoners from the Wei family, ordered everyone to rest in the grove outside the city.
Then he asked the Wei, Fang and Hu families to send two people each, and he arranged four yamen runners to guard them, and asked them to go to the town to replenish supplies and buy food.
Wei Keyuan will definitely go to the Wei family, and he will bring with him the eldest son of the Wei family's uncle who is relatively stronger.
The yamen runners knew very well that they had hidden silver bills, gold bars and silver bars on them, so their first stop was to go to the bank to exchange the silver bills.
Wei Keyuan exchanged a silver note for one hundred taels, ten taels of which were to be given to the yamen runners, and the remaining ninety taels were to be used to purchase supplies and food.
The prices in this small county town are not high, and ninety taels can buy a lot of things.
With the permission of the yamen runner, Wei Keyuan first bought a cart that was 80% new for six taels of silver, and then went to buy clothes and food.
Finally, he stopped when the cart was full and there was no more room for things.
There was less than ten taels of silver left in his hand.
As for the people sent by the Fang family and the Hu family, they have also witnessed Wei Keyuan's abilities during this period and basically followed in Wei Keyuan's footsteps.
Wei Keyuan didn't mind, but ended up buying 30 meat buns and six roast chickens.
The roast chicken would be presented to the yamen runners as a gift, and the meat buns would be kept for their own family members.
Wei Kezhi, the eldest son of the Wei family, did not say a word the whole time. He just did whatever his cousin asked him to do.
When it was getting dark, they returned to the grove.
Wei Keyuan took the roast chicken and ten taels of silver and went to find Zhou the yamen runner first. After having a friendly exchange with Zhou the yamen runner, he returned to the Wei family's team.
The Wei family members were all surrounding the fully loaded cart but were not doing anything. They were all waiting for Wei Keyuan to come back.
After Wei Keyuan came back, he first distributed the meat buns to his family, then took out the newly bought clay pots and boiled a few pots of meat porridge. That night, the Wei family finally had a hot and full meal.
After dinner, Wei Keyuan distributed clothes according to the old and the young, and bought some thick-soled shoes suitable for traveling.
After distributing these things, the cart was immediately half empty.
Wei Keyuan discussed with the men again and decided to let the children and the grandmother in the family take turns sitting in the cart when they set out the next day.
When the moon was halfway up the sky, all the members of the Wei family finally changed into new clothes and fell asleep.
Wei Keyuan and Song Yuxian held their sleeping daughter in their arms and quietly purchased loyalty pills and strength pills from the system mall.
"Take one Loyalty Pill per person. As for the Strength Pill, buy three and put them in the porridge tomorrow morning," Song Yuxian said to her husband as she scrolled through the pages.
Wei Keyuan understood what his wife meant. The Loyalty Pill would not reveal anything strange, but the Strength Pill was a bit outrageous. It would be best if three pills were shared by so many people. It would only make them think that they had gained strength from traveling recently.
The next day, Wei Keyuan's second cousin and eldest sister-in-law cooked porridge. Song Yuxian handed the child to Wei Keyuan to look after, walked over and said she wanted to help, and took the opportunity to throw the powerful pills into the porridge.
As for the Loyalty Pills, Wei Keyuan gave the excuse that when he went to the pharmacy in the county town to buy medicine yesterday, he specifically asked the doctor for the body-strengthening pills, which can be taken by both adults and children.
The Wei family now trusted Wei Keyuan very much and took the loyalty pill without any doubt.
During the rest of the journey, the Wei family suddenly felt that life became much more comfortable.
First of all, everyone's strength seemed to have increased a lot in the past few days. Then, it seemed that every meal contained refined rice, and the amount of refined rice did not decrease.
Having all gone through great changes, except for a few children, the other members of the Wei family had some suspicions in their hearts. The object of suspicion was naturally Wei Keyuan. However, they knew that Wei Keyuan would never hurt them, so they all helped to clean up the traces.
Wei Keyuan and Song Yuxian were very pleased about this.
That day, when they reached a dilapidated temple outside a small town, it suddenly started to rain heavily.
Zhou Yayi ordered them to rest in the ruined temple for a while.
The Wei family was small, so they were given a room and two yamen runners were left to guard it.
After collecting some broken firewood and rotten grass from the dilapidated temple, the Wei family began to cook porridge as usual.
Uncle Wei knows a little bit about observing the celestial phenomena, and he told everyone that the rain would probably continue until noon tomorrow. If it didn't stop, they wouldn't be able to set out, so they could take this opportunity to have a good rest.
Looking at the empty house that was big enough for their entire family to sleep in, Wei Keyuan and Song Yuxian felt that it was time for a formal showdown...
