The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 177 Exile 4

Chao Yao looked at the huge rat in the corner and shuddered.

I’ve lived for so many lifetimes, but this is the first time I’ve been to jail. It’s so new!

"Dad, we really won't die?"

Chao Yuebai's face was still pale. Although he was only five years old, he already understood what his family was facing.

"Don't worry, it really won't happen. Dad is a real man and will definitely protect you. Yuebai, you are also the little man of the family. We must be brave and strong. Your sister and mother are waiting for the two of us to protect them."

Chao Yuebai trembled his lips and kept encouraging himself.

"I'm not afraid. I'm a little man. I'm a man who can stand tall and proud. I'm a man who can protect my sister and mother!"

Compared with others, Chaoyao's family did seem much calmer. At least the women who were most likely to cry were actually quiet.

Chao Yao listened to the sounds from other cells that sounded like ghosts howling and wolves howling, accompanied by all kinds of curses, and really felt that this was a big show.

This kind of ups and downs are something that people only see a few times in their lifetime, and it really opened her eyes.

"What's the noise?"

The jailer came in and started whipping everyone in the cell that was making the loudest noise.

No matter how powerful a person was in the outside world, once he entered this place, he would become an inferior person.

There was another round of painful wails, and Chao Yao became bored after watching them for too long.

Tomorrow these people will become exiles traveling the same way as me. If I remember correctly, there will be hundreds of people on the road by then.

"My dear, you and Yaoyao should get some sleep first. I will hold Yuebai in my arms. We have to travel tomorrow, so we won't be able to sleep well afterwards."

Yang Tiaotiao pursed his lips and said, "There is nothing to sleep in this place. It's dirty and smelly."

Chaoyao also felt that her family really needed rest. It was difficult for her to change other major aspects, but she could still make sure her family had rest in the most comfortable conditions possible.

While his family wasn't paying attention, Chao Yao cast an illusion, making others see his family huddled together.

Then he slowly knocked the family members unconscious, made a bed available, and performed a cleaning spell, and the entire cell was clean.

He set up a barrier to prevent rats and cockroaches from running in, and then put the other three to bed and started to sleep.

Chaoyao also lay down and slept next to Yang Tiaotiao.

When the next morning came, Chaoyao took off the bed early.

The jailer came in again, and with him came the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict.

Chaoyao was actually a little surprised why the sentence and exile were so quick, but later he thought that this was probably because the superiors were afraid of the consequences.

The jailer put handcuffs and leg shackles on everyone, and they were quite heavy.

Lian Chao Yuebai was also shackled, as they were afraid that such a young child would escape.

There are too many exiles and it is difficult to manage them, so this method is more effective.

The moment Chao Yao was approached, he cast an illusion and took away the shackles on his hands and feet.

When we reached the city gate, we saw many exiled relatives waiting there.

Chao Tiancai's parents and brothers are all in the exile team, but the Yang family does not have to.

Chaoyao's grandparents came to see her off. Grandma Qiu held a divorce letter in her hand and asked Yang Tiaotiao, "Daughter, as long as you agree, your parents will do this for you today. The emperor also said that if the divorce is today, you don't have to go into exile with me."

Yang Tiaotiao shook her head. "Mom, I still have two children, and my husband is very good to me. I will not divorce him. I also believe that our family will eventually reach the Northland safely, and then we will have a new life."

Mrs. Qiu cried so hard that she couldn't speak. "Tiaotiao! Please listen to me, mother. We all know what the North is. Not to mention that it is cold all year round, how can ordinary people survive there?"

No matter how they persuaded her, Yang Tiaotiao was determined to leave.

Qiu had no choice but to work with her husband to give Yang Tiaotiao a lot of silver and money.

"Tiaotiao, take this money and remember not to be stingy when you are on the road. Write to us when you arrive in the north, and then mother will ask the escort agency to send you something."

"it is good."

Mrs. Qiu and other family members gave a lot of instructions, and Yang Tiaotiao listened carefully.

Chaoyao's uncle Yang Yong pulled Chaotian aside. He lowered his voice so that others could not hear it, but Chaoyao heard it.

Yang Yong said, "When I was traveling around the country doing business, I met a supplier named Lu Fufeng. He was from the Ice Country, a neighboring country of the North. This is his portrait. If you need anything from him in the future, you can find him at the Lu Family Escort Agency in the Water City of the North."

Chao Yao was stunned. Wow, this time she was going to have a cross-border love affair!

Chaotian put away the portrait and wanted to pat his brother-in-law on the shoulder, but his hands were shackled and he couldn't lift them.

"Come on, I know you will thank me, that's all. Next time I go on a business trip, I will go to the North to see you."

Just when the Yang family and Chao Yao's family thought it was over, the original body's fiancé and his family arrived.

They came to cancel the engagement.

Chao Yao had actually seen their family a long time ago, but Lu Zonghe had refused to step forward and even threatened to commit suicide.

"Mom, if Yaoyao and I get married today, she can save her life, Mom! I only want her to be my wife!"

Lu Zonghe's lips trembled and his face turned red.

"That's rebellion! Son, that's rebellion!"

Lu Zonghe's mother was heartbroken. She knew very well that her son and Na Chaoyao had grown up together as childhood sweethearts and their relationship was not formed overnight.

Lu Zonghe's father also said sternly: "Our family is clean and honest, and we cannot tolerate a daughter-in-law from such a family. You still have to take the imperial examination in the future. If you marry her, your future career will be over!"

"Then I'll leave home. Anyway, the Lu family has many sons who don't need me!"

Lu Zonghe's emotions were so intense that his parents couldn't explain it to him.

When Father Lu saw his son's stubborn look, he ordered the servant next to him to knock him out.

Afterwards, the couple came to find Chao Tiancai and Yang Tiaotiao.

Seeing the anniversary celebrations in their hands, the Chao couple understood the reason.

They don't blame anyone. No matter who it is, if something like this happens at home, they will try to protect themselves first.

"Brother Chao..."

Father Lu was not completely heartless, he still felt a little regretful.

"Brother Lu, I understand."

Chaotian took Chaoyao's engagement letter and said, "Brother Lu, my family was confiscated, so the token and engagement letter are gone. But this marriage is considered to be cancelled, so I wish you all the best in the future..."

"No need, just keep this blessing in your heart, we all know it."

Father Lu took Mother Lu and turned away. After all, they had been neighbors for so many years and had helped each other before.

Now, even if they were asked to say something cruel, it would be impossible for them to do so.

The time came and the bridegrooms were leaving one after another. Chao Yao saw that many women had chosen to divorce.

You can get married again after divorce. As long as a woman wants to and is willing to compromise, she can always find a man.

But if you go to the north, you will basically die, and only one in ten will survive.

All the servants who could be released with indentures were released. Chao Tiancai and Yang Tiaotiao gave the indentures of all the servants in their home to them. It would have been a burden if they had taken these people with them.
