Whole Family Exiled After Transmigrated – CH60

Chapter 60: Don’t Wear the Shackles

Because she was a girl, even though the wound was only five centimeters long, Ye Jiamei used the finest surgical stitching technique to sew up Yu Xiangxiang’s wound.

Hearing Ye Jiamei’s words, the entire second branch of the Yu family was endlessly grateful. Even the pregnant Huang Xiaoju knelt down with the others to thank Ye Jiamei.

They were naturally grateful—if not for Ye Jiamei and Yu Luo stepping forward, those two old things in their family might have forced all the women to scar their faces!

Ye Jiamei didn’t expect that such a small act of kindness would make the second branch kneel in gratitude. What she didn’t know was that because of her actions, Yu Luo unexpectedly received an additional 100 system points as a reward.

It was a foolish farce, but the path of exile still continued. However, after the incident with Yu Xiangxiang’s disfigurement, everyone’s mood grew even heavier.

Before nightfall, they finally arrived outside the legendary city of Pingyang.

People like them had no right to enter the city—not even before. Their previous two entries were only due to Wu Dahai’s rare generosity.

“Tonight, we’ll stay at this post station. It’s still a common room, split into two. Tonight, I’ll hand you over to the guards who will take over. Tomorrow morning, you’ll all be under their control. I won’t say more. Take care of yourselves and stay safe.”

After speaking at the door of the common room, Wu Dahai turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Yu Luo’s family of three and the third branch of the Yu family, as well as Yu Shanhai’s family from the second branch, were assigned to one room.

Tonight, they didn’t even consider paying for a private room. What was the point? Even if they had money to make things easier for a night, it would only make the hardships of tomorrow feel even worse.

They ate their meal and went to sleep early, knowing that this might be their last peaceful night.

Thinking about the extra points she received today, Yu Luo, with her eyes closed, quickly connected with the system using her mind.

[You are all one—inseparable and loyal to each other. The reason you received an additional 100 system points is that you took the lead to help those in need, which encouraged your mother to act. Keep it up.]

Hearing the system’s explanation, Yu Luo finally understood. So, as long as they helped others, even without system tasks, she could still earn extra points?

Tomorrow would bring a new batch of guards. Even with the system, Yu Luo didn’t dare to let her guard down.

She hadn’t had the time to think about how to use the growth points she exchanged for with 1,000 system points. Now, she had to decide how to allocate them for the best results.

[Based on the current situation, this system suggests you invest in speed. If danger arises, being able to escape is already a great advantage. As for strength and inner energy, your father has natural strength, so there’s no immediate need to boost that. As for inner energy, having it alone is not enough. Completing more tasks might reward you with martial techniques. With the support of inner energy, even barehanded, you’d be able to protect yourself.]

“I understand. Then I’ll allocate the growth point to speed.”

As soon as Yu Luo finished speaking, the growth point on the interface in her mind glowed briefly and then vanished.

Lying on the bed in the common room, she suddenly felt her body become light, as if a surge of energy passed through her. Then the feeling disappeared.

To test her newfound speed, she’d need an opportunity later.

The next morning, before dawn, there was a sudden, forceful banging on the door, startling everyone awake.

The knocking was so relentless and urgent, like the pounding of evil spirits. Those who were just sitting up in bed turned pale.

Yu Yong was the first to get out of bed and quickly opened the door.

Before he could even see who was outside, he was greeted by a heavy kick to the stomach. The force of it knocked him to the ground, nearly flipping him over.

The two guards who barged in each held a whip and a set of shackles. Without a word, they started hitting Yu Yong, terrifying everyone else in the room. They hurriedly got out of bed, not even bothering to put on their jackets, trying to help Yu Yong up.

Yu Yongjun, who was closest, rushed forward but was met with the crack of a whip aimed directly at him. Fortunately, Yu Haojie reacted quickly, pulling Yu Yongjun back just in time to save him from a painful hit.

“Well, well, aren’t you all a united bunch? This young master knows you’re all one big family sent into exile. You might be united, but don’t even think about escaping!”

With that, the two guards tossed the shackles onto the floor of the common room.

“You’ve got the time it takes to burn one stick of incense to gather your things, put on these shackles, and get out!”

The guards, arrogant as ever, twirled their whips playfully and turned to leave.

Seeing those heavy shackles, everyone’s faces turned ashen. They had worn them once before and dreaded the thought of wearing them again.

Especially in a desolate place—if they were shackled, they’d have no way to resist if the guards decided to torment them.

[Bribe them. Don’t wear the shackles. If you do, you won’t survive past 300 miles.]

Just as Yu Luo was debating whether to bribe the guards, the system’s voice sounded timely in her mind.

“Excuse me, sirs—wait!”

Hearing this, Yu Luo quickly stepped forward, calling out to the two guards.

Hearing a young girl’s sweet voice, the two guards stopped in their tracks. As they turned around, their lecherous eyes swept over Yu Luo, Yu Qiao’er, and Wu Hongping, lingering greedily.

Disgusted by their revolting gazes, Yu Luo suppressed the nausea churning in her stomach and quickly stepped forward.

“Sirs, this is a little something for you.”

As she spoke, Yu Luo discreetly slipped two ten-tael silver ingots into their hands.

The guards, who had been momentarily dazzled by Yu Luo’s beauty, were snapped out of it by the weight of the silver in their hands. They looked down at the silver ingots and grinned.

“Well, this little lady knows the drill, doesn’t she? You want us to do something for you, eh?”

These guards were seasoned veterans. Out of the 365 days a year, they spent 300 escorting exiles. Even though they gladly pocketed the silver, they were far from naive.

“I want to see your leader.”
