Chapter 17.2: Haha! The God of War can be shy too?!
The officers were too lazy to talk much with these people; after whipping a few of those yelling the loudest, it instantly fell silent around them.
“Stop this ghostly howling! No one is forcing you to pay. If you don’t want to pay, you can have black buns!”
After all, this trip was tough for the officers, and they’d surely think of ways to milk some benefits from the exiles. Providing them black buns was already quite generous.
Many couldn’t bear to spend that unjustified money and could only go for the free black buns.
As they cried and endured the pain of swallowing the hard buns, it felt like stabbing their throats with small knives.
In the package provided by the Shen family, there were some dry rations. Originally supposed to be consumed quietly with her two children.
However, under Su Bingsheng’s pressure, she had no choice but to share a lot of food with Su Bingsheng’s various concubines and children.
Madam Shen felt furious, yet she didn’t dare to speak up.
Su Chengzhi got so hungry that he grabbed the steamed bun given by Madam Shen and started to gulp it down.
Before long, he choked. He coughed with his eyes rolling back, constantly calling for help.
“Mother… Mother… Water! Quickly, give me water!”
The water from the Shen family had long been finished, and she painfully spent 50 wen to buy a water bag.
But as soon as the water bag was bought, it was snatched and finished off by Su Bingsheng and Su Chengzhi.
Madam Shen couldn’t bear to spend more money on another one and could only endure her thirst, praying to reach the next town quickly.
Meanwhile, over at the Xiao family, Liu Qing brazenly took out some loose silver from her floral pouch and handed it to Xiao Huaiqin.
“Qin’er, go buy a few white steamed buns for everyone to share.”
Su Qingning was also hungry, but she didn’t really want to eat hard buns.
She said, “Grandmother, no need to buy. I have food in my package.”
As she spoke, she pulled out one bun after another from the package her grandmother gave her…
Xiao family: !!!
