The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 183 Exile 10

When they arrived at the camp, the bearded man directly asked other soldiers to collect the money.

"Twenty taels of silver for one person's shackles. Those who want to go, line up!"

"Twenty taels? Why don't you just go and rob?"

As soon as the soldier finished speaking, someone quickly and loudly refuted him, and as a result, he was whipped.

"Two hundred taels per person for your whole family!"

When the others heard this, they trembled with fear.

Yang Tiaotiao immediately took out the money from the space and transferred it to Chao Tiancai using the bag.

"There are four of us in this family, so that's eighty taels. Go and give it to us right away."

"I see other people are lining up with their whole families. You go first. I'll watch our things."

Chao Yao mentioned it first, there were really too many things in the house, who knew if they would be stolen.

Plus, she was worried about those uncles and aunts.

When people are at their lowest point, they are likely to do anything.

It cannot test human nature.

Chao Tiancai disagreed. No matter how capable his daughter was, she was still a child in his eyes.

"No, it's too dangerous to leave you alone. What if you can't snatch it from others?"

Chao Yao looked at the people around her, and they happened to be looking at her.

After thinking for a while, Chao Yao picked up a stone from the ground, and then crushed it into pieces with the index finger and thumb of his right hand.

Those who saw this scene widened their eyes. They never expected that the daughter of this genius was actually a hidden strong monster!

Don’t provoke, don’t dare to provoke.

Chao Tiancai and Yang Tiaotiao were also a little bit unbelievable, but they immediately thought of something as strange as space. So the reason why Chao Yao had such great strength might be related to this.

Chao Yuebai looked at his sister with eyes full of admiration.

"Sister, you are so amazing! How did you do it?"

Chao Yuebai picked up the stone powder on the ground and rubbed it to make sure it was real.

Chao Yao lowered his voice and whispered in Chao Yuebai's ear: "Maybe you eat too much?"

"Really? Then I should eat more too!"

After Chao Yao demonstrated her strength, Chao Tiancai felt at ease letting her watch things here by herself.

The three of them waited in line for a long time before their shackles were removed, and then they immediately came back to take Chao Yao's turn in line.

Half an hour had passed by the time everyone in the camp had untied themselves.

All the handcuffs and shackles that had been taken away were placed in the carriage next to the bearded man, and then pulled away by ten soldiers.

"Keep going. We can't stop until the sun sets."

Everyone continued to move forward, which was much easier now than when they were wearing shackles.

Many people bought carts. The elderly, the weak, women and children sat on the carts, and the men took turns driving them.

Chao Yuebai could still walk by himself at the beginning, but later on he really couldn't walk anymore and could only sit on the bamboo cart.

Chao Yao was no longer sure where his family had gone, as his original self had died in the previous life.

When the sun was about to set, they finally arrived at the foot of a mountain.

"We arrived early today and will stay here overnight!"

At the bearded man's command, everyone stopped and sat down on the ground.

Now these people don’t care whether the ground is dirty or what their image is.

As long as they can rest, as long as they can sit down and lie down, any place will do.

Yang Tiaotiao took out various cooking tools from the bamboo cart. After waiting for a whole day, she could finally have a good meal.

The only time I can stop and cook a proper meal is in the evening. Lunch and breakfast are just a steamed bun or a pancake.

"Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Chao Yuebai's saliva was about to flow out of his mouth. He had been suffering too much during this period of time. Now, the greatest comfort for him every day was to be able to have a delicious meal in the evening.

"Mom will make you some braised pork. Your dad bought some pork belly in town today."

"Mom, one portion of pork belly is probably not enough. Let's steam a scallion chicken and stir-fry two vegetarian dishes. I see that the mountain is lush and green. There are many fruits in autumn. I'll go pick some."

"Okay, Yuebai and your father go collect firewood. Collect more firewood. We need it at night. I don't know if there will be enough firewood on the road ahead. We should also prepare some. It will get colder and colder as we go further. If we don't have enough firewood, it may be very cold."

"Got it, mother."

The family of four divided the work and went their separate ways.

Chao Yao went straight to the place he had long had his eyes on. The foot of the mountain where he was staying today was a good place because there were many mountains around, and now was the season when fruits were ripe, and there were various kinds of fruits on every mountain.

Because she ran so fast, she was out of sight before anyone else could even see her figure.

When there was no one around, Chao Yao turned invisible and flew away.

There are quite a lot of fruits in early autumn, and there are still a few peaches on the trees that should have been gone by the end of summer.

Chao Yao only picked the part at the top of the tree, leaving the rest for those who came later.

In addition to wild peaches, there are also wild apples and wild pears.

Chao Yao took a bite of the wild apple; it was crunchy and quite sweet!

She felt the rich juice released by the apple in her mouth, and the slightly sweet and sour taste danced on the tip of her tongue, as if the taste of nature was gently brushing against her taste buds.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly and she closed her eyes contentedly, enjoying the beauty of the moment.

The fresh scent of apples floated in the air, accompanied by the caress of the breeze, making Chaoyao feel an inexplicable sense of tranquility and satisfaction.

good to eat!

Chao Yao picked some more apples from the tree. She planned to plant another one in her own space so that she could eat as many apples as she wanted in the future.

After visiting several hills, Chao Yao had picked most of the fruits and also discovered several hawthorn trees and kiwi trees.

Chao Yuebai used to like eating candied haws, and Chao Yao planned to make a few strings for him later.

Chao Yao not only picked fruits in the mountains, but also collected countless firewood.

It's never wrong to have more of this kind of thing. The north is so cold, and in this era without natural gas and coal, we can only rely on firewood for heating.

After collecting firewood, picking fruits, and taking out some wild vegetables from the space, Chao Yao returned to the camp carrying a huge bag.

As soon as I arrived at the camp, I saw Yang Tiaotiao and Chao Tiancai being pinned down and beaten by several people, and Chao Yuebai was also being ridden on and beaten by several little boys.

Looking at these people again, aren’t they Wu’s five sons, daughters-in-law and grandsons!

Chao Yao's heart sank suddenly, and her eyes instantly burned with rage.

Without any hesitation, she immediately threw away the fruit and firewood in her hands, clenched her fists, and rushed forward.
