Chapter 28 Sky-high storage fees

Jiang Zhimiao stood aside and was also stunned by the sudden noise. It was also the first time for her to know that people who swallow water can also burp. It was really a great experience.

Speaking of which, she learned this method from China and it has always worked. Unexpectedly, it didn't work today, which really made her dumbfounded.

Mingzhu was stunned for a few seconds and then her face suddenly turned red. She covered her face and ran behind Jiang Zhimiao to hide, not daring to look at everyone.

Several people laughed softly when they saw this, and crisp laughter blurted out.

"Ah, sister, hiccup~ you are lying!" Mingzhu hid behind Jiang Zhimiao and said shyly.

"Hahaha, I'm not lying to you. When I used this method in the past, it was very effective. It was all because your hiccups were not good. They didn't come out at any time, but they came out when you were swallowing. It was all because of your bad hiccups. It’s so bad!”

Jiang Zhimiao turned around to face her, angrily complaining about this unexpected hiccup. That look impressed Mingzhu, and her face was full of doubts: "Really? Hiccup~ Sister didn't lie to me?"

"Of course it's true. When has sister ever lied to you? This hiccup is just not good. Can you try it a few more times? If you try a few more times, Mingzhu will stop hiccupping."

Jiang Zhimiao coaxed the child in a serious manner, and her very sure look made Mingzhu full of confidence. After repeating the action several times, she finally stopped hiccupping.

It has to be said that the child's digestive system is very powerful. Just now he looked like he was too full and didn't want to move, but now he is playing again. As expected, the child is a magical creature.

While the children were playing, the adults had to clean up the mess. The bones here didn't look very nice. A few people gathered the bones together, threw them out of the cave, and then rested.

What Jiang Zhimiao didn't expect was that as soon as these bones were thrown outside the cave, someone would rush out despite the heavy rain to pick them up and gnaw them. Seeing how they ate them with gusto, she felt a chill in her heart.

It only took a few days of hard work to achieve this, which is really hard to describe.

After all the work was finished, Jiang Zhimiao was just about to lie down when he remembered that there was still something to do.

She forgot to take off the wet shoes on her feet for a while, so she added a few more firewood to the fire, placed the shoes around, and then she lay down again.

When taking off the shoes of the three little ones, Xu Yourong was surprised that their shoes were dry, but it was understandable when he thought that they had never walked down the road.

Jiang Zhimiao could finally lie down. Lying on the ground, she only felt that her eyes were sore and her brain was empty. Within a few moments, she was immersed in a surging sleep and couldn't extricate herself.

Wen Zhuqing was sitting next to her now, looking at the sleeping girl. Hmm, her cooking skills were also good.

The next morning, the day-long rain finally stopped.

The sound of dripping water in the cave echoed in everyone's ears, extremely clear.

The land after the rain exudes the smell of moist earth, which is a smell unique to rain.

In the dim cave, you can still see a few sparks. There is still residual warmth from the fire where clothes were baked last night.The rain not only lasted for a long time, but also gave the exiled prisoners enough time to rest. Although the feeling of being wet in the rain was unpleasant, they still accepted the opportunity to relax.

After a good sleep, it was natural to wake up early. Before it was time to set off, a third of the cave was already up.

Jiang Zhimiao stood up and sat up after hearing the sporadic movement. She looked around sleepily and found that Wen Zhuqing and the others were also woken up at this moment.

They rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at the chattering people in the cave. Jiang Zhimiao didn't have much energy to get up. Since everyone was woken up, he simply got up.

They went to bed early last night, and the three little ones were allowed to be fiddled with by the adults. Jiang Zhimiao was amused when he looked at the stupid hair on top of his head. This confused expression was so cute.

The cave is no better than an inn, and although they can't be too particular, several people are very particular about personal hygiene, so they simply washed themselves with the water in the kettle.

Fortunately, they had taken medicine to prevent typhoid fever before setting off yesterday. Now they were in good spirits. They received the pancakes and started eating them. Although the heavy rain had dispersed the heat, it was still stuffy and the temperature did not drop at all.

After eating, the yamen servants put the shackles on the men as usual. Practice makes perfect. After two days of training, the speed at which they put them on has been greatly improved, not as slow as at the beginning.

It must be said that it is precisely with this kind of democracy that prisoners can sleep well and have more energy to rush on their way.

The purpose of this trip was not to torture the prisoners. Their ultimate goal was to reach the Far North on time. They still had a sense of what was important and what was important.

After everything was ready, everyone was driven on the road again. Jiang Zhimiao was not surprised at all when he heard the still loud shouts of the government officials.

I would like to ask if there is any normal person who still has a loud voice without any hoarseness after shouting for two days in a row. This is a group of abnormal people who are born to eat this bowl of rice.

When the rain stops, the raincoat will no longer be used. We can’t just throw away the eight-piece raincoat, so of course we have to keep it with us. Although the weather is sunny now, who can guarantee that it won’t rain in the future?
Being so far away in the far north, it is quite normal to experience ups and downs. Besides, this was bought with real money, and it was not blown by strong winds. Only people with sick minds would throw it away.

However, carrying this raincoat is indeed a burden. In the past, the government servants used to pull it with cars, so of course I didn't feel that tired. Now it is a bit stressful.

Wen Zhuqing and Wen's father definitely couldn't take it. Although the shackles they were wearing were the lightest ones, they still weighed seven and a half kilograms. Coupled with the ten kilograms of shackles, the weight of seventeen or eight kilograms was weighed on their bodies. Having to take care of the journey at the same time is already too much to take care of.

The two families had already talked about it last night. The destination was the same, so they might as well get together. That way, they would be able to take care of each other if anything happened on the way back.

Of course Jiang Zhimiao had nothing to disobey. The Wen family was indeed a good family. It was naturally good for both parties to make good friends. Why refuse?
Carrying the coir raincoat was really a burden. After Jiang Zhimiao thought about it, he suggested that the government servant who bought and sold the coir raincoat take care of it for them. Of course, he would not let his effort go to the far north with 20 taels of silver.

The yamen servant was naturally not displeased when he saw that he had received 20 taels of silver for nothing, and immediately agreed to their request. Seeing this, the others also wanted to do the same, but looking at the sky-high storage fee, they gave up the idea.

It's just a matter of spending some energy, and 20 taels of silver will be wasted. Their energy is endless, and they would rather suffer than spend money in vain.

Naturally, the movements of several people could not escape the eyes of the Jiang family. They only thought it was money paid by the Wen family, so they didn't say anything more.
