Chapter 246: The Cubs Being Treated as Two-legged Sheep on the Road to Exile (2)
Because of the huge income from his good deeds, Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe had no time to play around even with his concubines.
The family of three returned to their respective rooms and began to practice actively.
Because of their excessive obsession with cultivation, the three people who were not short of money directly asked Zaizai and Baituanzi to use their points to buy a one-month vacation.
In a blink of an eye, a month has passed.
Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe had just woken up from their meditation when they heard their eldest son chattering in the living room.
The two looked at each other helplessly, cleaned off the dust on their bodies, opened the door and went to the living room.
"Mom and Dad, are you awake?" When Zaizai, who was bragging to Zaizai and Baituanzi, saw his parents coming out, he shouted excitedly, "I have broken through the fourth level of the Soul Refining Technique!"
Seeing her son's proud look, Wen Nuan felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at him. She rolled her eyes at her son and said, "It's only the fourth level, why are you so proud? Your father and I have reached the Great Perfection and are about to break through. Did we say anything?"
After saying this, he turned his head away with pretended disdain.
"What?" Feifei was stunned. "You guys have reached Consummation?! So quickly?!"
"What's the hurry? It's just a routine operation," Wen Nuan said in a somewhat Versailles manner, and then glanced at Fei Fei, "You think you are like me, who has only practiced to the fourth level after such a long time, and you still have the nerve to show off in front of us!"
Feifei was silent, then turned to look at her own Baituanzi, "Tuanzi, what mission did you say just now? Is the time up? Let's go..."
Baituanzi looked at his master with some confusion. Didn’t he just say that he would leave after a while?
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go," Feifei said weakly.
"Oh, I'm coming!" Bai Tuanzi responded hurriedly, then looked at Zizi and Wen Nuan Wang Jianshe, and said politely, "Goodbye, Boss, goodbye, Master, Dad and Mom!"
Looking at her son who had started to act emo because of her frustration, Wen Nuan smiled secretly without any maternal love. She raised her hand and said to Bai Tuanzi with a smile, "Goodbye Tuanzi!"
After sending their frustrated son away, Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe briefly talked to Zi Zi about what had happened in the past month, and then asked Zi Zi to summon a new client.
Aperture reproduction,
A pair of ragged, skinny and pale men and women appeared in front of Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe.
Looking at the clothes worn by the two male protagonists, Wen Nuan knew that this mission was again in the ancient dimension. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She thought that it was the modern dimension that could satisfy her craving!
Wang Jianshe saw from the corner of his eye that the light in his wife's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he curled his lips, then looked at the client.
"Please start your story!"
Although this man and woman look very down and out, from the way they stand we can tell that they must have received a good upbringing. It seems that the reason they look like this now is probably because they have experienced major changes in their family.
The man among the clients stepped forward, clasped his fists and saluted, "Hello, two taskers!
My name is Wei Keyuan, this is my wife Song Yuxian, we have a daughter named Wei Linglong, what I am seeking today is for our little daughter Wei Linglong."
Wen Nuan and Wang Jianshe nodded, motioning for the man to continue.
Wei Keyuan nodded respectfully and continued,
“I am the second son of the former Minister of Works of the Wei Dynasty. Due to the change of imperial power, my father chose the wrong side and was purged after the new emperor ascended the throne.
Although my father was on the wrong side, he did not actually take any action. Therefore, the new emperor did not kill our family. Instead, he exiled us to Lingnan, never to allow us to return to Beijing.
Since ancient times, imperial power has changed hands. If you stand on the wrong side, the end will be disastrous. Therefore, our family is very grateful to the new emperor for being exiled.
In this way, our family embarked on the road of exile.
The journey from Shangjing to Lingnan is long, and it takes about six or seven months to walk there.
Although the road to exile was difficult, we managed to survive with the support of our family.
However, who would have thought that just when they were halfway through the journey, a drought broke out across the country. Not only had it not rained for several days, but large areas of grain and vegetation had died.
We exiled people had no food to begin with, and we had to survive on the steamed bread that the yamen runners distributed every day.
At first it was still okay, with three steamed buns a day, which was barely enough to fill me up. But later, it became two a day, then one, and finally it was hard to even have half a bun.
In desperation, we men had to look for something to fill our stomachs on the road, even if it was just grass.
Unfortunately, even the green grass was almost eaten up by the refugees fleeing the famine.
Because there was no food, a large number of people in our exile team began to die, and my family members also passed away one by one, first my parents, then my uncles, and finally, almost all the elders starved to death in order to keep us, the younger generations, alive..."
