Chapter 42 Floating in the water

Jiang Mingyan has grown up in a honeypot since he was born. He has never seen such a scene. Grandpa Jiang always loves him very much, so he will act like a spoiled brat. Now he really doesn't dare.

He hid uneasily behind Grandma Jiang, trembling with fright at the sudden scolding, completely different from his previous coquettish and playful appearance.

Jiang Xingbo and Mr. Zhuang felt quite distressed when they saw Jiang Mingyan like this, but what could they do if they felt distressed?They didn't dare to touch Grandpa Jiang's bad luck, so they could only stand aside and watch.

After all, it was the flesh that fell from his own body. Looking at his cautious and uneasy look, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but feel calm.

But what Dad said was right. Ming Yan has maintained the same temperament as before in the Jiang family since his exile. Miao Yatou stayed calm for a few days after being beaten, but then it didn't work anymore.

When you see something you like, you want it. If you can't get it, you'll make trouble. If you can't get it, you'll be miserable. It's completely arbitrary.

My mother-in-law is very fond of Ming Yan's behavior. He controls her temper and temperament very well, and she gets her way every time. I hope my father's scolding this time can break Ming Yan's temper.

Everyone was so frightened by Grandpa Jiang's black face that they dared not speak out. They could only roll up their sleeves and work silently, for fear that they would become the next target of being scolded.

The atmosphere on the Jiang family's side became tense for a while, and it wasn't until they finished dividing their belongings that a little anger appeared on their faces.

After all, exile without material things is like a pile of loose sand, which does not need to be blown by the wind and will disperse after just two steps. After all, material materials are the foundation for a stable life. With material materials, they will have more confidence in their hearts.

They don't know if they are destined to reach the far north. At the moment, they can only ensure that they survive to the maximum extent possible.

Jiang Zhimiao witnessed the whole process of Jiang Mingyan being robbed, but of course she had no intention of standing up for him. He deserved it when he was robbed, and she couldn't blame others.

Thinking of this, she turned her attention to the three little ones. Well, her own cubs were still cute. They were not annoying at all. They were white and tender, soft and fragrant. They were so cute.

The three little ones were holding the candied haws and eating non-stop, but they seemed to realize their current situation. After each eating half of one, they asked Jiang Zhimiao to put it away.

Although he said this, his eyes were glued to the remaining half of the candied haws. Jiang Zhimiao saw it but didn't say anything.

It seems that duplicity is not just for women. As long as we are human beings, we will always be duplicitous.

Jiang Zhimiao bought just the right kind of candied haws. She forced everyone to eat their own. She had to eat them. She finally got a chance to be sweet, so why not eat them.

She understands that adults want to save food for their children, but it's not like they don't have it. Not only children, but adults also need to eat something good. After all, adults are the backbone of children.

The exile team had rested for two hours. Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Wu ordered his men to put shackles on the men.

After a period of busy work, the team began the boring journey of exile again.

The number of people rushing these days far exceeds the expected target. Therefore, the current government officials are naturally more tolerant towards the management of prisoners, and are not so strict in terms of speed.

The scorching sun is in the sky, and the crops in the fields are lush and green. The gentle breeze blows the scent of crops into the nose, making people feel much better when they smell it.

It was indeed much more convenient to have a pole. She put the pearls and huai into the barrel and carried them. They were small, so sitting in the barrel was much more comfortable than sitting in her arms.

After all, Jiang Zhimiao's arms were not big, so the two of them naturally couldn't move around. Now that each of them had a barrel, they wouldn't be happy.

This trip to the city to buy supplies greatly boosted everyone's morale. They kept whispering to each other along the way, and they kept mumbling at any time, but they didn't stop and didn't delay the process. Naturally, the yamen turned a blind eye.

Not to mention, this large area of ​​cornfield is quite beautiful, and the wind blowing the corn silk is not bad either. The wheat and corn on the left and right are all yellow, Jiang Zhimiao thinks it is fine.

The team quickly passed through the cornfield, and what came into view was a pond. At a glance, it was clear that the pond was bottomless, and the dark water gave people an inexplicable sense of fear.

The water bottles of most of the people in the team had already reached the bottom. They drank part of it in the morning, and after waiting outside the city gate for a few more hours, not a drop was left.

Although the temporary thirst was not fatal, the desire to drink water all over their body overwhelmed them. Looking at the not-so-clear pond, everyone swallowed their saliva unconsciously.They looked straight at the pond. Although their bodies were walking, their souls had already drifted into the pond. Fortunately, the government officials seemed to be aware of their desire and announced that they would be repairing the place for a quarter of an hour.

After hearing the sound, everyone could no longer suppress their inner desire and rushed towards the pond. They took the water with both hands and put it into their mouths. After several sips, they felt happy.

The first people to drink the water were women and children. The hands of the adult men were tightly bound by shackles, and they could not hold the water to drink. They could only watch others drink.

Needless to say, the feeling of not being able to drink was really uncomfortable. At this moment, their hearts felt like they were crawling with ants. They felt uncomfortable, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Of course, most men can still tolerate it for a while. After all, even if they can't drink, their family members will pretend to give it to them.

However, this is just a normal situation, and it cannot be ruled out that there are still some talented people in the team.

The moment Jiang Xingsuo learned about the repairs, he ran towards the pond impatiently. He originally wanted to imitate the woman next to him holding water and drinking from it, but he was restrained by the shackles and was unable to do anything.

It had been too long since he had had water, and thirst had already taken the first place in his heart. When he couldn't drink the water, he just lay down by the pond and plunged into it to drink.

However, the shackles still hindered his ability to drink water. He couldn't drink while lying down, so Jiang Xingsuo simply twisted forward to close the distance.

Unexpectedly, the shackles around his neck were so heavy that even if he didn't drink the water, he was pushed into the water.

The excessive movement naturally woke up everyone who was immersed in drinking water. When they looked up, they saw a man in shackles splashing in the water.

Jiang Xingsuo was originally good at water. As a well-known dandy in Beijing, bathing in hot springs and fragrances was a common thing.

Who wouldn't cheer when he performs swimming in a spring for beauties from time to time? His favorite tricks were all related to water. To be honest, he didn't expect that he would stumble in the water.

"Help, help, help me!" Jiang Xingsuo was originally facing the water, but the moment he fell into the water, he was reversed. As soon as his head came out of the water, he spit out a few mouthfuls of water and choked his throat. He was frightened. said.

Jiang Xingsuo kept fluttering, but his hands were still restrained after all, so only his legs could use his strength. This posture was really timid to those who saw it, and panicked to those who heard it.

Seeing that he kept flapping, Wang Wu frowned, looked at him speechlessly, and scolded:
"Okay! I'm done with two splashes, and I'm able to start flopping for you. This water is not even as high as your legs, so I'm showing off for you?"

Jiang Xingsuo was immersed in the water and could not hear what others were saying. When he saw more and more people on the shore, he flopped even more.

The man's frightened look really left a big shadow on the hearts of the children. They hid behind the adults and watched this scene uneasily.

However, the adults on the shore didn't think so. They laughed endlessly looking at Jiang Xingsuo's frightened look.

This pond is deep, but the pond is still in a shallow area. Even a child can stand at this depth. How can a man who is [-] feet tall still drown?It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.

It was the first time in their lives that they saw such a speechless thing, so they had to have a good laugh.

 Small Theater: Wang Wu was looking at the sky in a daze again, and Jiang Zhimiao suddenly walked over.

  Jiang Zhimiao: Sir, I have a gracious request. I wonder if you can lend me the key to unlock the anklet?I will return it soon.

  Wang Wu: Stare~
  Jiang Zhimiao: My clothes are wet and I can’t change my pants without taking off my anklets.

  Wang Wu rubbed the folding dagger at his waist, untied the key tied around his waist and pressed it against it.

  Wang Wu: Return it after use and remember to lock it.
