Chapter 13: Pretending to be a good person
Noticing the movement here, Xu Qiang shouted angrily and strode over with a whip in hand.
The disgraced second uncle stopped first and pushed his second aunt away.
The second aunt was about to pounce forward, but the next second the whip passed by and hit her feet hard, causing dust to fly.
She was so frightened that she screamed and ran away, not daring to do anything else.
Xu Qiang glared at the two of them angrily: "You still have the energy to fight. I don't think you are tired! Stop for me and don't eat! Get up and continue on your way if you are not hungry!" "
Ah?"
"It's not like we fought. ..."
This statement caused a lot of complaints, but it could not change Xu Qiang's decision. He waved the whip again: "Whoever talks more, the whip may fall on whoever!"
The second aunt who was the instigator was not convinced, but she dared not get angry. After saying that, the second uncle's face was livid and he wished he could beat this troublemaker to death.
Ye Qingran didn't waste any time, and while he was talking, he wrapped the unfinished meat in straw paper, divided it into several portions, rolled it up and stuffed it into the arms of his family members.
"Take it, eat if you're hungry on the way."
Ye Zhuoyu glanced at her, feeling a little warmer in his heart.
Soon everyone was beaten up by the officers and soldiers, and the team continued to move forward under the scorching sun.
The rest time is too short, and people will not be able to keep up with their physical strength and speed, so they will be threatened and intimidated by the whips of the officers and soldiers around them.
If they save their worries, the officers and soldiers can still get benefits, and they don't mind being patient with them, but if they stir up trouble, nothing but misery awaits them.
Fortunately, Ye Qingran's family was very cooperative and did not receive the same treatment.
Under the violent urging of the officers and soldiers, the progress was extremely fast, and the road became more and more remote. Not to mention the shadow of the town, there was not even a trace of human habitation.
He didn't know how long he had been walking. His clothes were almost soaked and his throat was about to smoke. Ye Qingran took out the water bag he had prepared in advance and drank some water. Only then did the burning feeling fade away.
She then handed it to Mrs. Jiang: "Mom, drink some water."
Then she took out another one and gave it to Ye Guodong and Ye Zhuoyu.
Ye Qinglian glared at her resentfully: "What do you mean? I'm left alone?"
Without waiting for Ye Qingran to answer, she snatched the water bag from Ye Guodong's hand.
"Dad, I want to drink first!"
"Drink."
Ye Guodong sighed helplessly, how could he compete with his daughter for water.
He was so arrogant that Ye Qingran's eyes turned cold.
After walking for such a long time, Ye Qingran was already hungry. Ye Qingran signaled his family to take out the uneaten meat to satisfy their hunger. The nearby officers and soldiers chose to turn a blind eye for the sake of the benefits.
The aroma was fluttering and entered the noses of the eldest uncle and second uncle's family aggressively, making their already hungry stomachs flutter even more.
Not only did they have water to drink, but they also had meat to eat. This completely opposite two-level treatment made the two families extremely jealous.
Why can that family eat meat when they are hungry?
But thinking about the depressed look of the second aunt just now, no one could lower their face and spoke first.
The second aunt's lips were dry and she stared at the group of people eating and drinking in front of her. If they hadn't even helped their own family, how could she have fought with her husband and cause the pain she was experiencing now?
He felt resentful in his heart, but his eyes gradually became blurred.
After not eating or drinking for a long time, coupled with the long journey, the figures in front of the second aunt's eyes overlapped, and finally her vision went dark and she fainted.
Plop——
"Mother!" Suddenly someone fell to the ground and the whole team was in chaos. Two figures, a man and a woman, hurried forward to check.
They are the second aunt's son Ye Anhao and daughter Ye Anyun.
The second uncle took two steps forward and remembered that the woman had just fought in public and made him lose face. He snorted and turned his back.
"What's going on?" Xu Qiang asked impatiently.
Ye Anyun hurriedly begged: "Master! My mother fainted! Let's stop for a while? Okay!"
"What does it have to do with me?"
Xu Qiang's voice was cold, "No one is allowed to stop, keep on going!"
After that he Then they really left. Seeing the people behind them bypassing them and continuing to walk, Ye Anhao became anxious: "Are they going to leave mother behind?" Ye
Anyun looked at his father with pleading eyes, but only saw a side face, pursed his lips, She said: "Brother, let's take my mother with us!"
"Okay!"
The brother and sister helped the second aunt up, one on the left and the other on the right. The shackles restricted the movement and increased the weight. After taking a few steps with difficulty, the two began to walk together. My legs were shaking and I was sweating like rain.
Ye Qinglian withdrew her gaze and showed unbearable expression: "Sister, the second aunt is so pitiful. You have so much food here, why don't you share some with them?"
Ye Qingran was speechless: "You are quite generous to others, if you If you are so kind, you should give them your own food. Do you want to use my food to gain a good reputation for yourself?"
"Sister, why are you speaking so harshly? We are all a family, give some. What's wrong with the food?"
"You're right, then you should take it."
"You..."
Ye Qinglian choked and said angrily, "Just take it!"
After that, she turned around. He went back and handed over a large piece of meat that he had not eaten twice.
"Cousin, you can share this meat and eat it. Second aunt has fainted. I'm afraid there will be problems if you delay any longer."
Ye Anyun was slightly startled, and quickly reached out to take it: "Thank you, sister Lian'er."
At this time, a mocking voice said A voice sounded: "Who can feed such a big meal? You obviously don't want to give it, but you still insist on pretending to be a good person."
Ye Qinglian was a little embarrassed and bit her lip with grievance.
Then, Ye Qingran glanced at the speaker with a half-smile but not a smile, "It doesn't matter whether you have more or less, so what kind of care do you have?"
Ye Ziqiang's face turned dark and he said harshly: "Do you think I'm rare?"
In response, Ye Qing Ran chose to answer with action, and took a big bite of rabbit meat in front of him. Ye Ziqiang seemed to be able to see the details of the shredded meat being torn apart, and swallowed involuntarily.
After reacting, I felt my face was hot and I looked away in embarrassment.
This episode passed like this, and the second aunt soon woke up. The team walked until sunset, and Xu Qiang finally called a stop and asked everyone to stop and rest.
Everyone collapsed on the ground, and no one moved for a long time. They walked long distances wearing heavy shackles and shackles. Not to mention the pampered ladies and ladies like them, even the general could not hold on.
At the back, the team was no different from crawling like ants, but in order to punish them, Xu forced everyone to continue walking, and some people even lay down and fell asleep.
It wasn't until the officers and soldiers handed out dinner that people regained their energy.
But this gruel is not enough to fill the stomach. People can only drink water and go to bed quickly, so that they will not be hungry when they fall asleep.
In the dead of night, a small figure sneaked up.
Ye Qinglian came outside the crowd and carefully rummaged through Ye Qingran's clothes and bags. She clearly remembered that her sister still had uneaten rabbit meat, so why was it missing now?
Suddenly, a cold voice sounded.
"Did you find it?"
