Chapter 82: No conditions to create conditions, but also to go
"Forget it, brother, stop talking! Instead of complaining here, we two brothers should act quickly and quickly remove the shackles of this man, and bring the food from the back kitchen and deliver it.
We might as well go ahead and have a glass of wine to fill our stomachs! Brother, there are still sixty miles waiting for us tomorrow. We are not Master Wu and Brother Si. They can get up and go, we have to rely on two
leg!".
I followed Mr. Wu on two more trips to work, and the yamen who looked calmer on the outside quickly pulled the angry yamen beside him to persuade him.
After a hard day's work, he was still hungry, but how could he feel better in his heart?
It’s just that the rules are like this. Their status is the lowest in the team. If they don’t do the dirty work, who will?
Instead of having the strength to complain, it is better to finish the work early. Maybe when the benefits are shared equally, Mr. Wu will see that he is dedicated and can give him more money. In this way, his trip will not be in vain.
You can also relax quickly.
After being persuaded by the calmer Yamen, the grumbling Yamen calmed down, but when he thought that there were more than thirty wooden shackles waiting for the two brothers to lower them in the room, the grumbling Yamen also brought some small talk.
Complaints of the mind.
"Alas! Brother, do you think we can't just put down the wooden shackles? They will have to wear them on the road anyway..."
Really, this godbrother, what can he really say?
Not wanting to cause trouble, but also wanting to finish his work quickly and go to eat and rest, the calm Yamen pulled the people around him to the side, looked around and found no one, he said hurriedly: "Brother, don't blame me for not reminding you.
So Master Wu told us to remove the shackles of these prisoners, which has profound meaning."
"What's the deep meaning? Brother, tell me."
"I'm telling you, I heard that someone from above has spoken to these prisoners, asking us to escort them to their destination within the specified time as much as possible without making any mistakes along the way. Mr. Wu asked us to go to the shackles at night and go to the shackles during the day.
, First, it is to allow the prisoners to have a good rest at night so that they can have enough energy to go on the road the next day, so as not to waste our time."
"Oh, that makes sense, brother, what about the second one?".
"Second?", the steady yamen officer smiled meaningfully, pretending to be profound, "Second, my silly brother! You said that if we don't remove the shackles and let these prisoners loosen up, then how can we do it?
Earn extra money?".
Oh! Oh too!
Only when this group of prisoners tasted the relief of taking off the wooden shackles can they better understand the hardship of wearing the wooden shackles, right?
When I left the city today, most of the hundreds of people came to see me off.
If someone is seeing you off, everyone knows it, which means that there is money to be made in the hands of the prisoners.
They are serious people and cannot rob openly, but hey hey hey...
In this way, the irritable Yamen who knew the reason looked at the steady Yamen, and the two of them smiled tacitly.
The irritable Yamen no longer complained. Instead, he hooked up with the steady Yamen beside him, and the two brothers walked towards the prisoner's house.
Just now, the officials tied ropes around their waists and drove them into this empty room. Before anyone could react, the only door was slammed shut and the outside was locked.
Xiao Yuqi didn't care that like everyone else around her, she still had time to listen to the movements of the officials outside. As soon as she entered the room, her big eyes looked around.
You never know the full extent of things until you see them.
The house in front of me looks like a long one. Although the overall height is a little short, the area looks quite large!
It's just that no matter how small they are, if a group of them spread out and sleep in a row, the space is not big enough!
It seems like, doesn’t everyone have to curl up and sleep at night?
Xiao Yuqi was complaining wildly in his heart, but he had no idea that rooms like this were equipped in all the inns throughout the Guizhou Dynasty. They were specially used to detain prisoners who were homeless, or to provide accommodation for inn officials and their subordinates.
Where the servants live.
There will be many opportunities for them to stay in the long road ahead.
Xiao Yuqi was looking around the room, still feeling emotional in his heart.
Well, it's really like walking into a room with walls on all sides, looking up at the doors and windows, and looking down at the bare ground!
There was nothing in the house, not even a blade of grass for the floor. I was really poor.
When Xiao Yuqi selected a favorable terrain and dragged his brothers to jump over to grab a seat, the other people who had woken up next to him began to complain one by one.
"Oh, the house is bare, there is not even a straw mat, how can I sleep peacefully at night?".
"The lower-class slaves' Datongbu still has a bed, so why don't we even have a bed where we stay?"
Xiao Yuqi laughed in his heart.
These guys still think they are the capable people they used to be!
She really didn't recognize the reality after being in prison. She was also drunk. She was a bunch of stupid jerks.
"Mom and Dad, come here." Xiao Yuqi waved her little hands towards her parents. When she saw her parents walking over, Xiao Yuqi felt relieved.
The place she chose was located in the corner of the room, with a sealed wall on one side and an unobstructed window for ventilation.
Xiao Yuqi had many considerations in choosing this place.
In a strange place, facing a strange environment, no one can predict whether there will be danger or when the danger will occur.
The junk star has been around for many years, and the mentality of being cautious and preparing for everything is always right.
No matter what the road ahead is, no matter whether there is danger or not, it is absolutely right to first observe the terrain and occupy a favorable and active position.
The house was densely packed with people, old and young, men and women. She roughly counted four families with one hundred and seven people. The Xiao family alone were in their early forties. She was unfamiliar with these people, let alone the rest.
other people?
Must be on guard!
At night, the whole family slept against the wall, and it was safest for Shiniang Suyun to stand guard.
As for choosing to be close to the window? Xiao Yuqi thinks that if something happens, she can break the window out with her family, so this location is good.
It's a pity that she is limited by her damn short stature. In order to protect her mother, she has to do it if there are conditions, and even if there are no conditions, she has to do it.
"Mom, are you tired? Have you worked hard? Mom, the ground is cold. Please give me your baggage and I will make your bed so that you can have a good rest."
Xiao Yuqi, who didn't know there was linoleum in the baggage, had already made a plan and reached out to take the baggage. After all, when she chose the place, she had made up her mind to use the baggage.
They had four bundles in total. Xiao Yuqi, who didn't understand the strange term "furoshiki", just thought that by spreading four pieces of cloth on them, he could make a bed for his mother.
As for dad?
Well, when he saw his father looking at him with a resentful look, Xiao Yuqi wisely chose to turn his head and ignore it, and glanced at his two brothers.
Well, let my brother and mother make do with each other tonight.
