After exile, I counterattacked with the farm space

Chapter 17 Transportation Chain

After eating and drinking enough, the three of them returned to the resting place. The officials were already yelling at everyone to prepare to go on the road. Seeing these three people coming slowly, they naturally choked up a few words.

"The three of you have fallen into the ditch, and you are still moaning and don't hurry back to the team! It slowed down our progress, you feel better!"

The officials all had a fierce look, and the three of them didn't react at all, they just glanced at the official and joined the team.

After the waterway, there is a mountain road. Although the exiles usually take the main road, they will inevitably encounter rough and difficult roads. The men consciously walked to their families to help the elderly and children.

"Okay, let's stop for a while. Now change the rules, the luggage is distributed according to the head of the family, the men are responsible for the heavy supplies, and the women and children are responsible for the light luggage..."

When they rested at the top of the mountain, the officials began to redistribute labor tasks.

Obviously, the officials who were exhausted from climbing the mountain did not intend to carry their own bags, but someone had to do the work, and the idea naturally hit a group of exiles.

"My lord, don't you have a donkey? The bag can be carried by a donkey..."

Cheng Weiyao frowned slightly. Everyone who climbed to the top of the mountain exhausted a lot of physical strength.

Don't say that women and children can't bear it, even men can't keep up with it physically. After all, most of the exiles are former high-ranking officials and nobles in the palace. How can they do so much hard work?
"We want to use the donkey, why do you have an opinion? If you don't ride a donkey, can you ride you?"

The officials all bared their teeth and laughed, and when they heard Cheng Weiyao jump out to retort, they immediately turned back obscenely.

Cheng Weiyao's face turned dark, and she felt offended by this straightforward and rude language.

In this dynasty, prisoners generally had to pay for their own expenses when they were exiled. Not only did they have to prepare their own luggage, but they also had to look at the board and lodging of the escort officials, otherwise they would be easily tortured and made things difficult for them.

Therefore, even if everyone has complaints in their hearts, they still dare not jump out like Cheng Weiyao.

"Madam, give me your bags later, and you just need to take care of your younger brothers and sisters."

Wen Chengyun obviously didn't want to see Cheng Weiyao clash with the officials, so he immediately pulled Cheng Weiyao's sleeve and signaled her to sit down.

And Cheng Weiyao seemed to sit down obediently and resigned, but in fact she was thinking about how to save some energy. Her eyes were wandering around, and she was soon attracted by the long weeds.

She stood up and looked down along the top of the mountain. The next resting place was at the foot of the mountain. The difference in height and height of the mountain was undoubtedly a point that could be used.

"You won't be overwhelmed, will you?"

Wen Liyu approached carefully and asked softly.

She also felt that the verbal humiliation of the officials was too hurtful. After all, how could a woman's chastity and innocence be used for verbal jokes...

"Do I look like the kind of person who would commit suicide?"

Cheng Weiyao turned around and smiled at Wen Liyu, and stretched out her hand to pull up all the long and thick weeds on the side of the road.

"Do you want to be lazy later? Let me teach you a way to save time and effort..."

"You say it first, and I will think about it."

Seeing Cheng Weiyao's confident look, Wen Liyu was a little moved. She knew that this woman had an idea.

For the luggage that will be moved later, she really doesn't want to, look at how the slender fingers have been worn out in the past...

Cheng Weiyao's idea is to use the weeds on the roadside and the vines on the trees to make some simple ropes. The top of the mountain is high and the foot of the mountain is low. There is absolutely no problem in pulling down a transportation chain from top to bottom.

"I'm here to help too, is it weaving or knitting like last time?"

"I'm good at knitting, if you don't mind, I'll help..."

The actions of Cheng Weiyao and Wen Liyu quickly attracted the attention of the female relatives. Because of the bamboo cutting incident, they reached a tacit agreement, and almost everyone knew that Cheng Weiyao would not do things for no reason, so they joined in one after another.

"Let's scatter around and look around. Raw materials such as tree branches, weeds, hemp, rattan, etc. are relatively easy to obtain. This time, the rope must be thick and long enough, and it must not break..."

Cheng Weiyao's heart warmed to this, and she felt that her investment was rewarded.

Many natural raw materials are extremely flexible, malleable and extensible, which is in line with the characteristics of making simple ropes. What Cheng Weiyao has to do is to check the firmness of each piece of rope.

After all, when they are actually used later, these ropes will bear all the luggage of everyone. If they break and fall, even if they can be found, the things may be broken.

The abnormal behavior of the female family members alarmed the officials, and one of the young officials stood up and planned to stop it.

"Sit down, it's not a big deal, what trouble are you looking for? The river hasn't been fished well, right? It's better to do less than to do more. I have to go down the mountain in a while and save some energy."

The leader's voice sounded casual, but it was actually full of orders.

Regarding the matter of crossing the river, what are these subordinates thinking?

But he really heard the teasing from the officials just now. During the escort process, in the wilderness and mountains, there were also female prisoners escorted on the way, and there were many unsightly things.

In order to preserve the chastity of their female relatives, many families are still willing to spend money to preserve their reputation and chastity, and to ensure that the officials will not do unbearable things to female prisoners. The leaders have received money, so naturally they have to be more restrained.

"Understood, I know it well..." The official who had been scolded was honest, he just had a mouthful, and he knew all the rules.

With the help of everyone, a simple and tough long rope was quickly made. Cheng Weiyao pulled it hard with his hands, but it didn't move at all, and then he grinned in satisfaction.

"Madam, do you need help for your husband?"

Wen Chengyun faintly sensed Cheng Weiyao's purpose from the moment Cheng Weiyao looked down at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the tools were ready, he took the initiative to ask for a job.

"Will the officials let you go?"

Cheng Weiyao glanced at the officials not far away who closed their eyes and rested their minds, frowned slightly, and spoke with some hesitation.

For this transportation chain to operate normally, someone must first go down the mountain to fix the rope, and Wen Chengyun, who is highly skilled in martial arts, is undoubtedly the best candidate.

Cheng Weiyao did take Wen Chengyun into consideration at the beginning, but she never thought about taking the road of going out in the open. After all, it's hard to say whether the officials will let him go...

"I'm going to explore the road. It's no problem to have my wife and his party as hostages."

The corners of Wen Chengyun's mouth curled up slightly, obviously he had already thought of his words.

The only thing that officials worry about is running away by themselves. As long as there is a family member as collateral, everything is negotiable...
