I became the cannon fodder who died early, and I angrily married the villain

Liangzhou, Anding County, Pengyang County

After walking for a day, everyone in the second branch of the Qin family was too tired to move.

"Dad--Dad--" The groaning sound of the sick child sounded in the broken thatched house.

Cai touched her daughter Qin Yun's hot forehead and said to her husband, "Erlang, hold the child." The child was uncomfortable and kept calling for dad.

Qin Yan wiped his face, then went to the broken window to grab a handful of snow and rubbed his hands, then put his hands on his body to warm them up, and then reached out to hold his daughter.

He patted his daughter's back and coaxed, "Yun'er, be good, dad is here."

He knew that he cared less about his daughter these days, but he couldn't do anything.

Qin Yan hugged his daughter's small body and buried his face. His father had just died two days ago, and the imperial decree of punishment was issued, and their family was escorted to exile in Pingzhou on the spot. Even his father Qin Yue's body couldn't be sent back to Chang'an, so he could only bury it in a place with open scenery in the north, and wait for the Qin family to come and beg for the remains in the future.

Now, he and his wife, his mother, and his fourth brother's wife, four adults, took five children on the road, the oldest of whom was only seven years old.

It was freezing cold, and he was the only man with three women and five children. The safety of the children fell on him, and he had to be nervous.

In addition, his fourth brother's wife was taking care of two children by herself, so he had to pay more attention to the two children. They were not only his nephews, but also the only blood left by his two brothers. He couldn't let them have any mishaps. His three children could only make his wife and mother worry more.

This change came too quickly, and they didn't have time to prepare.

Fortunately, the eldest brother made preparations and made corresponding arrangements. Now Ma Jin brought twenty or thirty brothers to protect them openly or secretly.

But the help provided by Ma Jin and his men was also very limited. They could only provide some help in secret, such as secretly giving them some food or warm clothes, and also protecting their safety. . But the main dangers they faced were bad weather and environment, which they could hardly help with.

Every day, the adults not only had to carry their own luggage, but also had to hang or drag at least one child on their bodies and walk in the snow. It was really hard.

From the northern border to Pingzhou, more than 4,000 miles, he really didn't know whether they, especially the children, could arrive in Pingzhou in one piece. He was under a lot of pressure and was very tormented.

At the beginning of the escort, they also made arrangements and gave a lot of benefits to the bailiffs and runners, but in the end they only got the convenience of not wearing shackles. This convenience was almost equivalent to nothing. There were so many children in their group, as well as female relatives and elderly people, and the other party was not afraid of him running away. He would not run away either.

In fact, Wu Yasi also had some ideas about Ma Jin and others' secret protection. He respected the Qin family for resisting foreign enemies in the northern border for many years and their contributions to the northern border. In addition, Ma Jin and others did not do too much, so he turned a blind eye.

Now the child is sick and there is no medicine. Qin Yan asked Wu Yasi for help. He knew that it was impossible to ask a doctor, so he could only ask them to give him some herbs. Ma Jin and others could not help.

In the northwest, there are few doctors. In addition, they are now in the wilderness. It is not certain that a doctor can be found within a radius of one or two hundred miles.

Cai broke the herbs given by Wu Yasi and put them into a broken pottery pot to boil. While adding fire, she asked her husband, "Do we really want to give Yun'er this medicine juice?" It is not known whether this herbal medicine is suitable.

Qin Yan did not speak. If possible, he really hoped to find a doctor to prescribe medicine for his daughter instead of using medicine randomly.

Ma Jin was also very depressed at this time. He knew that the second master's daughter was in a critical condition at the moment, but he also sent people out to look for a doctor. There was really no doctor within 30 or 40 miles around.

At this moment, two people quietly approached him. Sensing the movement, Ma Jin quickly turned around and found that the people coming were Zhou Da and a brother he brought with him. He was very surprised, "Why are you two? Where are the others?"

"It's me. The others are somewhere else. How is the second master's situation?"

"The situation is normal. Now the second master's daughter has a fever. By the way, why are you here? If you go north, what about the prince?"

Zhou Da replied, "The prince has other arrangements. We are not very useful there, so he asked us to go north to assist you. Now it seems that the prince's concerns are reasonable. You really can't take good care of people."

"Zhou Da, what do you mean by this?" The child is sick, they are also very anxious, okay?

"It means literally, don't say anything, just quietly send the medicine to the second master first." As he said, Zhou Da took off the wooden hairpin on his head. This was secretly sent by the Sixth Master before he left, telling him that there were pills for treating children's colds, illnesses and fevers, which could be used when necessary.

After Zhou Da took off the wooden hairpin, he identified the scratches on it and cut it with a dagger along the scratches, revealing a peanut-sized pill inside.

"Okay, hiding medicine like this. Zhou Da, when did you become so smart?"

Zhou Da said proudly, "I have always been smarter than you."

"You're kidding!" Ma Jin sneered unhappily, and then said, "Wait for me, I'll send the medicine to the Second Master first."

After Ma Jin left, Zhou Da called his deputy, "Tell me how you usually take care of the Second Master and the others?"

Qin Yan took the medicine that Ma Jin secretly sent, and was surprised to learn that Zhou Da had gone north, and that the medicine was prepared by his Sixth Brother's wife, whom he had never met.

After Ma Jin left, he quietly scraped some powder with his fingernails and put it into his mouth. After a quarter of an hour, when there was no reaction to the poison, he fed the pills to his daughter. The couple then took care of their daughter for half a night, and her fever finally subsided. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts full of gratitude and curiosity for their six younger siblings.

As for Zhou Da, when Ma Jin came back from delivering the medicine, he received a look of contempt from him.

Ma Jin was confused. Looking at his deputy, he was lowering his head in shame.

Zhou Da: "Is this how you take care of people?"

Otherwise? They also know that they cannot take good care of them, and they are very anxious. The key is that the second master and the others are under the supervision of the guards and guards, and they are not allowed to deviate.

Ma Jin explained the difficulties here, "Among the custodians and officers, other people can say that there is a sharp head named Lin who used to be under the Fourth Master. He was punished by the Fourth Master for violating military regulations. The other party has always been He holds a grudge, is very picky, and is not easy to talk to.”

"If we were more helpful, he would deliberately torment the second master and the others, and the young master would even be whipped by him." This was one of the reasons why they were restrained.

Zhou Da sneered, finding fault? Still love to torment people? Isn't he afraid that he has a long life?

Zhou Da's deputy naturally understood what his boss was sneering at.

They had heard that before the Crown Prince and others joined them, there was a guy named Zhao Long, who was also a deputy superintendent. He was also very difficult to deal with. Before he met them, he was dead. He was so dead. It was so quiet that no cause of death could be found.

Why, when the officers were escorting the prisoners to the place of exile, only one of the prisoners was allowed to die, but the escort was not allowed to die? The officer must die?

"You guys, as stupid as pigs, are just going to watch the young master being whipped?"

Ma Jin's eyes widened, "Who are you scolding? You can do it, come on."

"Okay, I'll do it, I'll do it! Just hold your neck and wait and see." Zhou Da spoke boldly.

"What are you going to do?" Ma Jin asked.

"You'll know later." Zhou Da gave it a try.
