Ji Changying looked at Ji Dahe who was picking at the corners of his clothes with his head down.

He is eleven years old this year. His family conditions are not good, and he looks much thinner than other children of the same age.

Recently, I have been exiled again. My whole body looks like a walking skeleton, with no flesh anywhere on my body.

Ji Changying felt very complicated when she saw him like this.

Although the family believed in the Taoist priest's words, Ji Changying was skeptical.

As for whether she is the 'one soul', she doesn't know.

I just hope I can have another chance to see the Taoist priest and ask him a question.

At the moment, she doesn't know if the disappearance of the original owner has something to do with Ji Dahe throwing stones last time.

But looking at the thin and anxious child in front of her, Ji Changying lowered her arms and looked at him seriously: "It's all over. Now let's think about how to live well."

The person in front of her was just an eleven-year-old child.

She could neither forgive him on behalf of the original person nor do anything to such a child.

The clan leader, Ji Fengyi and the others were discussing countermeasures together.

"It's not a peaceful road. I don't think these officials will let us off easily. They can't do it without scraping some oil and water from us! Is there anything you two can do?" The old clan member let out a long sigh.

The days of these people are about to pass.

Thinking about this matter, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep at night.

Ji Xiuren's face was solemn: "Compared with others, these are not a big deal. The further north you go, the colder it gets. In the past two days, I have obviously felt that the temperature has dropped at night."

Ji Fengyi said: "Liangzhou is located on the border, with a vast territory, sparsely populated areas, and bitter cold all year round. It must have been freezing cold at this time of year. By the time we arrived, it was the coldest time of the year. Judging from what we have now I’m afraid most of my clothes will freeze to death before I even get to where I am.”

The patriarch's hands shook and he looked at Ji Xiuren for help: "Is what Fengyi said true?"

Ji Xiuren nodded heavily: "Not only that, over there, next to Beirong and Jurchen, foreign tribes often come to snatch food and people, and it is not stable. Even if we get there safely, it will not be easy to survive."

The farthest place other people in the village have ever gone is the county seat, let alone other places.

Only scholars are different. Even if they just read books, they know more than others.

During the journey of exile, these people in the village were worried about what to eat and where to sleep at night.

I have never thought about what Liangzhou is like or how to live there.

After hearing what the two people said, the clan leader gritted his teeth and said, "It would be better to behead us!"

"Clan leader, be careful what you say!" Ji Fengyi said in a serious tone.

The old patriarch knew that he had made a mistake and fell silent.

Ji Fengyi said: "Things haven't reached the worst yet. No matter how little these officials don't care about human life, they can't just watch us all die. Now let's think about how to survive these few days to eat and drink! Wait until next time Go to town to replenish some warm clothes and bring them with you."

It's useless to think too much and it will only increase worries.

The patriarch cheered up: "Yes! Ask everyone what they know about tonight and help each other. If there are many people, we will definitely be able to survive."

Ji Changying squatted nearby and listened to them analyzing the situation.

Hearing this, she suddenly said: "I know a lot of food, and I can lead others to dig it."

In fact, the food of these people in the village is also in her hands.

The clan leader was so frightened that he shook his body and looked at her while covering his chest: "It's scary!"

The uncle looked at her helplessly: "Don't mess around! The clan leader is old, what if you scare him out of here?"

Ji Changying looked honest and courteous: "I think Grandpa Patriarch is in good health and will definitely live a long life."

The patriarch's brows relaxed a bit when he heard this: "I don't dare to think about being a hundred years old. It would be great to live to Liangzhou, alas!"

After saying that, they no longer cared about Ji Changying's presence and continued to discuss how to proceed in the next few days so that everyone could get to the place as smoothly as possible.

Ji Changying was listening and felt that this was a group of people with strong clan values.

Now I can't protect myself, and I don't think about taking care of my own family. The life and death of others has nothing to do with me.

The discussion lasted until family members came over and called for dinner before they broke up.

In the evening, Mrs. Hu made stir-fried pork with beans and put the vegetables into everyone's bowls before eating them with pot stickers and pancakes.

After dinner, Ji Fengyi asked Mr. Hu: "Please prepare our money and use it when we get to the next town."

Mrs. Hu was stunned after hearing this: "Didn't you hide the money?"

Ji Fengyi was shocked: "I thought you were hiding!"

The two looked at each other, their hearts feeling a little cold.

"Boss! Second child! Third child! Come here!" Hu roared angrily.

The three brothers who were packing their things all trembled.

I haven't heard my mother's voice sound so angry for many years.

Hearing Hu's voice, Ji Fengshou's family also came over, not knowing what was going on.

"Have you three seen our money?" Hu said with a heavy look on his face.

Without money to pave the way, it would be impossible for their family to go to Liangzhou.

The three brothers looked at each other, and Ji Mingxuan's heart sank: "Mom, we don't know where the money is, how can we hide it?"

The last bit of luck in Hu's heart was gone.

He collapsed on the ground, his face pale.

Ji Fengshou said: "Sister-in-law, do you want money? I have it here!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around, picked at his body, and took out a ten-tael silver note.

Zhou's eyes widened: "Where did you get your money?!"

Ji Fengshou chuckled: "Isn't this the day the house was raided? I went out for a while and asked for my wages."

Every year during the autumn harvest, people in the town open casinos there.

He was doing well, watching the show and earning one or two taels of silver a month!

Before leaving, he hurried over to ask for his wages from the people above.

When they heard that his family was being exiled, they took pity on him and gave him these ten taels of silver.

Ji Fengyi is in a very bad mood now and is not in the mood to care about where his brother got the ten taels of silver.

After he explained the situation in Liangzhou, everyone fell silent.

Mrs. Zhou looked at the sad faces of her family members, took the bones of her parents-in-law on the ground, reached out and dug inside while muttering: "Mom and Dad, I want to take the money and use it, so I don't need your help to look after it."

The family watched with blank expressions as she hid the money in the bones of their elders, and then took out the money and the banknotes given by her parents little by little.

Ji Changying also pretended to dig through her little baggage, and took out her uncle's banknotes and Ji Fengshou's private house.

Then he handed it over.

The whole family:? ? ?

Ji Fengshou looked at the very familiar silver and couldn't help but ask her: "Where did you get this money?"

"It's at home. I took it when I saw it." Ji Changying took it as a matter of course.

Ji Fengshou trembled: "You...couldn't you have taken it from under the third brick on the threshold of my and your mother's room?"

"Daddy is so smart! How did you know?" Ji Changying asked excitedly.

Ji Fengshou swallowed and did not dare to speak.
