Chapter 82: Heaven-breaking wealth costs lives
Xiong Jiushan's reaction corroborated the news that Gao Shanhe brought back to the village.

Gao Shusheng had a little more confidence in the Xie family, and secretly made a plan in his heart. Later, Gao Shanhe would bring some young people from the village to the Xishan Mountain to invite Sister-in-law Sophora Hua down the mountain.

The village and market are not big, and the things are ordinary things that are not valuable on weekdays. However, the prisoners are in a difficult situation and are worried about the hardships of the journey ahead, so they change things when they are needed to avoid suffering.

However, there were also prisoners who did not participate at all. They looked like they were penniless. They would eat whatever the escorts gave them and would never do anything provocative. Although they looked there with envy, they acted wisely and protected themselves. He hides himself even more among the crowd.

Not everyone is as crowded as the Xie family, and not everyone has the pressure of having a ghost on their head.

Pang Jiming is one of them.

An unreasonable disaster caused him to be exiled with his family, which made him deeply realize that sometimes disasters are unreasonable and unfair.

We are all born different, let alone equal.

The world is no longer clear and clear; it is filthy and chaotic. This is not an era for people with lofty ideals to make achievements. Ordinary people are like ants, living cautiously under the feet of the rich and powerful, so that they can have a breather. There is no peace in relying on others to breathe.

He studied hard when he was young and spent ten years of fame just to control floods and benefit future generations. But what's the use?
The prime of life is the age to work for the people. Working conscientiously by the riverside and working hard is not as good as a false accusation from the mouth of a nobleman in the capital.

Where can there be justice in the world? No!

People from the imperial court come here to seek fame. As a small waterway official, he doesn't care at all. It's just a little chaotic for the nobles to instruct the insiders to do things. As long as it doesn't hurt their muscles and bones, after the nobles leave, they local waterways will If the official makes more efforts to make amends, he can still recover some losses.

But what I am most afraid of is the kind of incompetent person who comes down and walks around without seeking fame, but insists on pursuing a big career.

Crossing the line is like a mountain, not to mention water control, which relies heavily on the practical experience accumulated by generations of water officials. He studied under the famous water control officials, and went south to control water for ten years. He is slowly exploring feasible methods, working day and night with aspiring colleagues around him. Studying new methods of water control, I am determined to create a project that can prevent the flooding of waters in South Road every year for decades, or even a hundred years.

They also know that this method is difficult to work in the short term, and it can be seen that the merits are nothing compared to the achievements of the water control officials, but ten or decades later, it can benefit future generations from generation to generation.

This is the dream of flood control officers like them. Fortunately, the adults in charge of the southern region are also people with lofty ideals. They are working together to advance the work bit by bit. However, a sudden flood disrupted the rhythm.

The Lord led his subordinates to rush to the embankment to save water and evacuate the affected people. At this time, they were working together to unite and cooperate, but the right prime minister led people south to control the flood.

They fought hard on the river embankment for many days. When they heard that someone from the imperial court was coming, they were overjoyed, thinking that the imperial court's backup had finally arrived!
but……

In their view, floods are the wrath of God and a disaster that will destroy their families. But for some people, this is just a huge fortune. Treating disasters is getting rich, and merit is fame.

The mentor single-handedly saved the lives of their subordinates, but one of them was killed by a knife.

Pang Jiming was lying in the damp and dark prison, looking at the dark ceiling with despair.

What kind of world is this?

Those who do things will be cut into pieces, and those who use their skills and tricks will rise to the top of the clouds.

He was confused and set out with the exile team with his wife and children. He warned his family along the way that safety was the most important thing and that the family should arrive in Liaozhou safely and leave others alone and not conflict with the detainees.

He said this, but in his heart he felt that his fate was ridiculous.

He didn't know about it that night when Xie Zhen, the married daughter of the Xie family, chased her into the deportation team. The next day, he learned the news about Xie Zhen from the mouths of other deportees around him.

I heard that the other party was divorced by Zhuang Tanhua and went out to look for her mother's family.

Pang Jiming saw Zhuang Xu's wife, Xie Zhen, among the crowd of Xie's family.

He ended up in this situation because he collided with Zhuang Xu on the waterway, but in the exile team, he saw Zhuang Xu's divorced first wife.

At that moment, he really felt the impermanence and ridicule of fate.

At this moment, the Xie family has been famous for a century. Even if they end up in exile, the Xie family daughter can still get money to exchange supplies with the villagers on the road.

And when he looked at the other incompetent refugees, all of them had haggard faces and were lingering in numbness.

What exactly went wrong?

Pang Jiming couldn't understand for a moment.

The wife looked after her children who were still awake, and sighed inwardly when she saw her husband silently looking at the people trading in front.

Pang Jiming looked away, took out the remaining half of the cake from his arms, and handed it to his wife.

"Why haven't you finished eating yet?" My wife frowned. "If you're not hungry, you can eat."

"Nonsense!"

"You eat it." Pang Jiming couldn't speak, so he put half of the pancake into his wife's arms.

Tears overflowed from the wife's eyes. She was afraid that her husband would think too much, so she blinked a few times and put them back.

After being married for more than 20 years, no one knows what the husband is thinking better than his wife.

She also felt wronged for her husband.

At the beginning of the new year, she still remembers her husband lying on the table, drawing lanterns with his daughter and son, and expressing his beautiful wishes for the new year.

Who doesn't know his wish?

When it comes to water control, her taciturn husband always beams with joy and talks about a bright future.

Later, he didn't go home for a long time.

Every time I come back, I stand on the porch and look at the sky, with a sad look on my face.

She brought hot tea to warm herself up, and she could always hear him talking about why the court was so slow to transfer money, and that this day was going to change.

after that……

She was afraid that he would not be able to think about things in exile.

When the young lady from the Xie family came after him, it was the first time she noticed a change in her husband's face.

If it hadn't been for the many years of understanding that didn't make her think too much, she would have almost thought that her husband had something to do with their Miss Xie family.

Pang Jiming: "That Miss Xie is the wife of Zhuang Tanhua."

She was also stunned.

She also saw Xie Zhen's appearance, and even looked at it for a long time.

She told her husband: "The Xie family is in trouble. Zhuang Tanhua divorces his wife just because he wants to. He is too careless."

Pang Jiming was silent for a while and said, "The prince and the right minister are interested in introducing other noble ladies to him."

"It's no wonder."

"A villain does things, but he is not like a human being."

When Pang Jiming heard his wife swearing, he rarely looked at his gentle and polite wife again.

"That traitor did this to my husband. Even if I were buried in the earth, I would crawl out and scold him a few more times to relieve my hatred."

Pang Jiming smiled for the first time that day.

What more can a husband ask for when his wife is like this?

After Pang Jiming, he only cared about his wife and children. He had nothing to do with the interests of the court or his fame.

If he insists on arriving in Liaozhou safely, he will work hard to save an acre or two of land, work when the sun rises and rest when the sun comes in, and take good care of his wife and children.

Life is just about living, what difference does it make if you live well or live well?

The crowds gathered in the village and market gradually dispersed.

The guards watched over the prisoners as they returned to the team one after another and packed their bags.

Pang Ji knew clearly that the team was about to set off, so he whispered to his wife: "Wake up the children, it's time for us to leave."
