Ye Shihan returned to the room, stood under the window, and looked at the snowflakes falling outside through the window. He felt mixed emotions in his heart.
This Su Mu'er, even in that kind of weather, still had no intention of stopping. Her determination was so firm that even a grown man like him admired her.
Liu Hai came in with a basin of hot water and placed it on the chair.
"Sir, wash your feet."
He nodded, but his eyes were still looking outside. In such a weather with wind and snowflakes, he knew it was very cold just by imagining it.
"Sir, this trip is a bit difficult, but Miss Su is able to endure it as a woman. It's really surprising."
He smiled softly at the corner of his mouth, "Yes, I asked for a day off, but she refused. She is a woman who can move forward, but we grown men have no reason to retreat."
"Yes, it is really not easy for her to see her relatives, but it is also not easy for the young master to do it for her. I think she doesn't seem to hate the young master so much now, which is still worthy of joy."
Liu Hai's words actually made Ye Shihan feel even more depressed.
He knew that she rejected his status from the bottom of her heart, but who could decide what happened before birth?
But he will try his best to fight for the opportunity to be with her, not only for Doudou, but also for himself. He finds that he has fallen in love with her and has carried her in his heart.
Early the next morning, they were on the road again.
This time, Ye Shihan rode the same horse with her. He was really worried, but she did not refuse.
He surrounded her whole body in his arms, so that she could stay warm.
The remaining three days of travel went fairly smoothly, with no major delays on the way.
When the group arrived at Yucheng, a city belonging to officials in northern Xinjiang, it was just noon.
Ye Shihan showed his hand card, and the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door to welcome the five of them in.
Although this Yucheng does not look prosperous and there are few people on the streets, it is very large in area.
After asking around all the way, I finally found out that the exiled people were working in a quarry. After learning this news, Su Muer and his party rushed there without stopping.
She is now eager to know the current situation of her relatives, so she doesn't want to stop for a moment.
The location of the quarry was not remote and they found it easily.
There are many people here and the place is huge. It is not easy to find people, so the group of them looked around while walking.
In one of the quarries, an official was holding a long whip and whipping someone hard.
"Telling you to be lazy, telling you not to work."
The person who was beaten didn't even make a sound.
"Sir, my father is old and can't do it any more. Please stop fighting. I'll do it for him."
"Go away, if he doesn't do it, he won't be able to eat. It's better to beat him to death than wait for him to starve to death."
As soon as he finished speaking, the official's whip fell again. Seeing this, the man next to him leaned directly on the beaten man,
"Don't hit my dad. If you want to hit me, hit me."
"De Ning, get out of the way. Dad can hold on. Get out of the way quickly."
"Dad, it was your son who hurt you, and he deserves to be beaten for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he lay on his body, closed his eyes tightly, and clenched his fists tightly together.
The official looked down at the twilight father and son with a look of contempt on his face.
"Okay, then let's fight together. The people who have been sent here are not as good as pigs or dogs. You were so arrogant when you were an official. If you fall into my hands, I will let you feel like this unmatched phoenix is not as good as a chicken..."
Then, raindrops of whip fell on the man again.
"Stop, don't fight anymore, you beast."
At this time, Su Yuanqing and Su Yuanming came after hearing the sound. Each of them held a stone in their hands, raised it high above their heads, and roared at the official,
The official raised his head when he heard this, looked at the two young men, sneered contemptuously, then raised the whip in his hand, took two steps forward, and came to them,
"Come on, hit me here." He pointed to his head, looking arrogant.
"Yuan Qing, Yuan Ming, stop, don't do whatever you want."
Su Dening stared at his two sons and roared, fearing that they would be impulsive and cause trouble.
"Dad, anyway, our life here is worse than death. In this case, why not all of us die together."
After saying this, Su Yuanqing was about to raise his hand when the official's whip hit him hard on the wrist. The stone in his hand fell to the ground. He immediately knelt down and covered his wrist with his hand. There was a bright streak on it.
Blood red marks.
"Does this mean you have enough to eat for two days? If you dare to act wild like this, you are really risking your life."
The officer stared at him arrogantly and chuckled again.
Su Yuanming, who was standing on the side, saw this and was about to rush up like crazy. The officer suddenly shouted loudly, and the officers around him ran over. One of them kicked him hard in the lower back, and he fell directly to the ground.
, he hit his forehead on the stone, and blood stains appeared.
"Pah, pah, pah."
The officer whipped Su Yuanming and roared angrily,
"You dare to fight with me? You are really tired of living."
"Pa bang bang..."
Suddenly, a stone flew over and hit the official's hand directly. The whip in his hand fell to the ground. He hurriedly turned around,
"Who dares to sneak attack me?"
After saying this, he turned back.
Seeing this scene, Su Muer rushed over like crazy, "Dad, grandpa..."
The cry came out, and her tears immediately burst out.
She stepped forward and looked at her father and grandfather lying on the ground with scars. Their hair had turned gray and they had become much older.
Su Dening was a little unresponsive, and Mrs. Su also rubbed his drowsy eyes and carefully looked at the woman in front of him.
"Father, grandfather, I am Sanya."
Su Mu'er shed two lines of tears as she spoke.
She had no idea that her father and the others would be tortured like this. If she had known earlier, she should have come earlier.
"Sanya? Is it really you?" Mr. Su stretched out his trembling hands with trembling hands.
"It's me, grandfather, and it's Sanya. Sanya is here to see you."
She hurriedly took her grandfather's outstretched hand, but found that his hand was as dry as purple, without a trace of blood.
"It's Sanya, are you really Sanya?"
Su Dening cried with joy when he saw her, with a look of surprise and surprise on his face.
"Third sister? Are you third sister?"
Su Yuanming and Su Yuanqing were also mumbling to themselves.
"It's me, dad. I'm here to see you. You are suffering."
She couldn't control her emotions and tears fell down her cheeks.
If my grandmother and mother saw this scene, their hearts would fall.
When the Ming official saw this scene, he roared with displeasure.
"Where did you come from? Get out of here."
Liu Hai's face tightened, and he suddenly pulled out a long sword from his waist and pointed it straight at the officer's throat. He looked at him in horror,
"You, who are you? How dare you come to Yucheng to run wild? Are you tired of living?"
