Chapter 21 Water Avoidance Talisman
Zhou Ming felt the overwhelming pressure on her body, and suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His breathing became tight, and he no longer dared to say a curse word.

That kick just now really frightened him.

"Get away, don't dirty my dick!" Jiang Zhimiao said in a deep voice.

Zhou Ming listened to the vicious threats from the woman in front of him, and hurriedly hugged his broken hand and ran towards his territory without looking back.

The three children were also frightened by the sudden movement. They were hiding behind Father Wen and shivering. When Jiang Zhimiao saw this, he quickly stepped forward to comfort them, which calmed them down.

Several people had just witnessed this farce, and now they had no intention of sleeping.

They sat on the mat and stared at Zhou Ming until they returned to their original positions, then they looked back.

While everyone was sleeping in a daze, they only heard someone staying up late at night, crying and howling, and they were so angry.

"Who is it? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night and you're screaming. If you don't sleep, others will sleep. Can you please be quiet?"

"Don't let me catch who is up late at night and acting like a monster, otherwise I will have to beat him up."

"I'm tired every day, so I can't stop."

Sounds of resentment reached Zhou Ming's ears. In order not to arouse public anger, he had no choice but to keep silent with his tail between his legs. However, at this moment, his face was so gloomy that it could drip water, and his slender eyes were full of hatred.

Jiang Zhimiao and the others listened silently to everyone's complaints. Through the moonlight and stars, they could clearly see Zhou Ming's hateful expression.

Seeing that several people's eyes were black and they obviously lacked sleep, Jiang Zhimiao said: "Go to sleep, don't keep watch. He will definitely not come tonight. There are still dozens of miles to go tomorrow, so don't wait any longer." I’ve spent so much time worrying about this.”

Jiang Zhili sat in the corner and watched Zhou Ming return in defeat. Her silver teeth were almost broken. At this moment, she looked in the direction of Jiang Zhimiao with a ferocious face. Her expression was unbearable and she didn't know what she was thinking.

It was another sleepless night, several people had their own concerns, and this sleep was extremely uneasy.

The next day, they got up when the rooster crows. They didn't have enough sleep. At this moment, everyone was drowsy and felt dizzy when they walked.

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and it looked like it was going to rain heavily. When Jiang Zhimiao saw this, he thought that the secret passage was bad and broken. If he got wet, he would inevitably get sick.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhimiao started shopping in the plane mall again. The magic weapon was too expensive and its effect was weakened. Now she focused on the talisman.

After looking through those strange talismans, she found the perfect path.

[Water-proof talisman, as the name suggests, when using this talisman, the user's body will be covered with a layer of water-proof bubbles. The bubbles are colorless, odorless and invisible, and will not be noticed at all. 】

[Note: The maximum diameter of the water-proof bubble is only 1.5 meters, and the use time is 12 hours. Friendly reminder, count from head to toe. If you are taller than 1.5 meters, please use with caution. 】

Although a water-proof talisman requires 4 points, for personal safety, Jiang Zhimiao gritted her teeth and bought eight in a row. Even with the one point she just signed in for, she now only has 452 points left in her hand.

Just using a water-proof talisman is definitely not enough. Looking at the place where coir raincoats are bought and sold in front of him, Jiang Zhimiao paused, and then he and Wen Zhuqing came forward.

After all, escorting prisoners to the far north is a hard job, and buying and selling coir raincoats is one of the ways for government servants to earn money. In addition to these, they also have daily necessities.

When Jiang Zhimiao and Wen Zhuqing arrived, there were already 20 people in line in front of them. It seemed that they all knew about this black industry chain.

The wind and rain were about to come, the window edges were blown loudly, and everyone shivered under the sudden cold wind.

The yamen servant who was doing business was completely unaware of the coldness at this moment. His heart had long been filled with fire, and he couldn't even collect the money. He really felt it at this moment. This was after he had been working as a cadre for so many years. Come, make so much money for the first time.It is said that escorting prisoners into exile is a fat job. This is true. Just from the heavy amount of gold in his hands, you can know how big the profit is.

The transaction was very fast, and after a stick of incense, Jiang Zhimiao was finally in line.

Jiang Zhimiao handed the 100-tael banknote to the government servant: "I want three children's raincoats and five adults' raincoats."

How could I say that this government official has a business mind and a good life? This coir raincoat is actually sold in three different specifications, for young children, young people and middle-aged adults. There is a lot of room for choice.

Just now she observed that a coir raincoat actually cost ten taels of silver. Although it was more than ten times more expensive than the usual price, she had to buy it because of the situation.

The two of them carried the raincoats they had just bought and walked towards Xu Yourong and the others. Before they had even taken two steps, it started to rain.

The wind was blowing with heavy rain, and the cold wind was blowing into the house from the broken windows.

The two of them quickened their pace and hurriedly walked into the house. Fortunately, they walked quickly and didn't get wet. Others were not so lucky.

The place where the yamen servants did business was under the eaves of the outdoor verandah. Heavy raindrops were blown onto them by the strong wind. Those who were still queuing up to buy raincoats did not rush to dodge and were caught in the shower.

Jiang Zhimiao looked at the wet people and secretly felt lucky that he was walking fast.

It was raining heavily outside, and there were signs of water accumulation in the house within a short period of time. This house was not designed for people to live in. It must have been a warehouse for storing firewood. It had been in disrepair for many years and was in dilapidated condition. Naturally, it could not bear it. The offensive of heavy rain.

At this moment, Jiang Zhimiao really realized what it means to have a leaky house and it rains continuously all night. It rains heavily outside and light rain inside. No one has this kind of treatment.

Of course the government officials were happy. They lived in guest rooms, so naturally they wouldn't get caught in the rain. It was just a pain for them, the prisoners.

The rain became heavier, so Jiang Zhimiao had to ask a few people to put on their raincoats first, and then used the water-avoiding talisman.

After getting along with the Wen family, she was willing to make good friends. She gritted her teeth and gave them a few water-proof charms to use. Wen's mother was loyal and Jingming was lovely, so she was willing to give up the four water-proof charms.

Big raindrops hit the window sill, the sky was gray, and the rain poured down.

The yamen officer looked gloomy at this moment and told everyone to rest where they were and wait until the rain subsided before setting off.

Fortunately, the heavy rain did not last long. It gradually became lighter after half an hour, and the dark clouds dispersed. Although there was still rain, it did not hinder our journey.

Time is running out and there is no need to delay. The rain came too suddenly. The government officials have been in a hurry since the morning, so they haven't served food yet.

The same recipe, the same taste, nothing new at all. Several people ate the pancakes in their hands with expressionless expressions.

After eating, they were not idle, and put shackles on the men again. Although the rain outside the house became lighter, the dark clouds had not dispersed yet, and layers of dark clouds covered the entire sky.

In this posture, the government officials did not dare to act rashly, and immediately gave the order to rest where they were, and wait for the dark clouds to clear before setting out on the road again.

Facts have proved that the rain is so moody. It had a tendency to dissipate just now, but in an instant it changed its appearance and started to rain again.

They didn't do anything all morning, so they jumped up and down in the house to hide from the rain. Jiang Zhimiao chose the corner well. The terrain was higher than other places, so the water did not spread to their feet.

Seeing other people's trousers soaked with water and sticking to his body sticky, Jiang Zhi was glad that he had good discernment.
