My whole family eavesdropped on my thoughts, and I won money on the road to exile.

After all, Ji Tai's brother gave him enough money and supplies. Several large cars full. But they had to leave the car behind when going up the mountain, and they couldn't bring some unnecessary supplies with them.

Ji Tai has always been simple-minded and thought about getting through this hurdle. They have horses, and when they get to the next village or town, they can buy cars and supplies directly.

I never thought that I could only go into the mountains now.

"Our Forbidden Army should be more economical with food and supplies. It will be no problem if we can last for twenty days."

Ji Tai looked at Lu Zan and Zhou Fu'an very proudly. He knew that the supplies brought by Zhaowei and the escort officials were far inferior to them. I estimate it will last about three to five days.

"But my guy in charge of the pots forgot to bring them. You have to get me some pots, pans, salt, etc. After I go back, I'll ask my eldest brother to help you two. If you two intend to join our Forbidden Army, that's fine. It’s just a matter of words. From now on, we will be good brothers who enjoy life and drink together."

Zhou Fu'an's face turned even darker, and they only brought two pots. Not to mention the salt, the exile carrying the salt fell down the mountain, and both the man and the salt were gone.

At this time, he asked the men who went to report to the two doctors to report that the doctor surnamed Ding slipped when he was going up the mountain. At this moment, I don’t know where I was washed away by the mudslide.

"Imperial physician? You said those two exiled prisoners were imperial physicians before they committed the crime?"

With sharp ears, Lu Zan immediately heard the key points of Zhou Fu'an's words. If these two doctors were imperial doctors, then although the antidote they prepared could not compete with the antidote pills given by the Taiwei, the effect of the medicine would definitely be much better than that made by ordinary barefoot doctors in the countryside.

"Well, yes, yes, they were imperial physicians in the palace before committing crimes and going to jail. I don't know what they committed. From the list I received, I only know that they were imperial physicians before."

Zhou Fuan almost bit off the tip of his tongue.

Quickly change the subject,

"Our salt was placed in Chu Siwu's car and he took it away."

Speaking of salt, when Chu Mingyang left yesterday, he threw away all four of his supplies and only drove away in his own carriage. But when leaving, he pointed to the vehicle containing supplies and asked the four officials to move some things for him and put them into the secret box under the carriage. Chu Mingyang's carriage was specially made for traveling on the Exile Road. It is divided into two floors, with people sitting on the upper floor and goods on the lower floor.

When Chu Mingyang asked the officials to carry things, Zhou Fu'an didn't care. After all, Chu Mingyang is the third generation ancestor. He is the only one who gives money and things to others lavishly, and he will never take other people's things for cheap. Chu Mingyang's four trucks of supplies were thrown to him, how could he take his things.

In the evening, we stayed at the Daliuzhuang Ancestral Hall, and the food was brought to us by the people of Daliuzhuang. They didn't cook, and they didn't notice that the salt was gone. It wasn't until he arrived at the foot of the mountain, abandoned the car, picked up some important supplies and carried them back up the mountain, that his subordinates reported that Zhou Fu'an realized that their bag of salt was gone. I think that when Chu Mingyang pointed at something and asked the official to carry it into his car, he pointed too casually and pointed at the wrong thing. Either the officer made a mistake. Anyway, in one sentence, Chu Mingyang took away the salt bags of the officials.

"Luzan, how much salt do you have left?"

At this moment, both Zhou Fu'an and Ji Tai turned to look at Lu Zan.

"Our salt—"

Lu Zan opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to speak.

"The prisoner carrying the salt slipped down the mountain, and the salt and the person were gone. I came here firstly to ask Zhou Fuan for a doctor to help make an antidote, and secondly I wanted to borrow some salt from Zhou Fuan."

"So, the five or six hundred of us didn't bring any salt with us?"

Ji Tai also knew at this time that the problem was serious. "Zhou Fu'an, please hurry up and ask your men to search among your exiled prisoners. Their families have given them things. They cook their own food, so they always bring some salt, right?"

Lu Zan blocked Zhou Fuan,
"First let me find the remaining doctor. I will take him away to make the antidote. Then you can go find the salt."

Having said this, another official who just went to see the doctor came over, followed by Bai Suzi.
"Team Zhou, Dr. Bai has brought us."

"Bai Suzi, if you follow the road commander, you will do whatever he asks you to do?"

Bai Suzi looked at Zhou Fuan and said nothing, but his eyes clearly said, Zhou Dianjiu, do you know what you are talking about? King Yan sent us to treat General Su. Dr. Ding fell down the mountain. Now I am the only one taking care of Major General Su. And you sent me out. You are not afraid that King Yan will settle a score with you.

Zhou Fu'an is not stupid, so he naturally understands what Bai Suzi's eyes mean.
"Commander Lu is just lending you to make some medicine. You still have to stay with us. Otherwise, if so many exiles and officials get sick, they will all be treated by you in the future."

Zhou Fuan's words not only spoke to Bai Suzi's heart, but also showed his attitude to Lu Zan. I'm just lending Dr. Bai to you for a while, but he's still mine.

Zhou Fu'an turned around and left. He was now determined to have someone search him to see if there were any salty prisoners among the exiled prisoners. There was no salt, and there were five to six hundred people in this mountain. If they didn't eat salt for a few days, he really didn't dare to think about the consequences.

"No, Captain."

"Not found, Captain."

"We searched everything, nothing."

With the reports from the officials, Zhou Fu'an's heart fell to the bottom.

In fact, he did not doubt that the exiled prisoners would hide salt secretly.

Because the exiled prisoners also told the truth. Since their exile, they have only seen their families once in Shiliting. Things given by family members are usually money, clothes, and some cooked food. Almost no one gives away things used for cooking.

Because according to the rules of exile, the exiles were not allowed to take cars before leaving the capital, so they had to walk.

Women and children had to be tethered, and men had to wear shackles. It’s impossible to bring food for cooking with pots and pans.

The exiled prisoners usually went out of the capital's management. When they arrived at the next market town, the officials asked the prisoners to pay, and then they helped the prisoners buy these things. Make a fortune out of it. If any prisoner wants to go to the village to buy things on his own, he must give the official a good fee before he can make an exception and go shopping with the official.

Among the more than 300 exiled prisoners, only Song Huangshang went through the back door, bribed officials, and gave the Su family a cart containing pots, bowls, and food. I also brought a jar of lard and salt.

But the cart and the things on it were snatched away by the third room of the Su family. When they were at the foot of the mountain, they threw away the cart and carried the usable things on their backs. When they went up the mountain, Su Quanming fell down the mountain carrying a soft package filled with salt. Lu Huifen who was walking behind him was so angry that she kicked him. Su Quanming was not convinced and turned around and slapped her twice. Lu Huifen fell down. If Grandma Lu hadn't tried her best to hold her, Lu Huifen would have slipped and fallen to her death.

Lu Huifen was fine, but the lard can she was holding in her arms fell and was gone.

After listening to the news reported by the official, Zhou Fu'an was completely numb.

No salt, no salt for everyone.
