Chapter 129: You Are Not In Exile You Are Clearly Traveling!
Chapter 129: Gratitude
Not long after Chen Xue left, she returned, and the people excitedly bowed and kowtowed to her.
There was no other way. If it weren't for Chen Xue's divine art, their legs would likely be ruined. If their legs were ruined, it would be as if they had no hope.
Therefore, Chen Xue saved their lives.
Not only that, they also felt grateful that Chen Xue had taught them this divine art. Even if they were alone in the future, they could still use it. This was what excited them the most.
This was truly divine art!
Countless people yearned for it, even the emperor of the court.
However, Chen Xue easily shared it with them, and they were not ungrateful people.
"If you have nowhere to stay at night, you can dig a snow cave."
Chen Xue instructed her subordinates while demonstrating, "Choose a location with thick snow layers, or it might collapse easily..."
"If possible, reinforce it with branches nearby and spread them on the ground as mats..."
Chen Xue didn't know much, but she had watched survival shows before and had some knowledge. Although limited, it ensured that these people could have a stable place to sleep at night.
With Chen Xue demonstrating divine art, the people naturally didn't oppose her instructions but rather looked forward to them even more.
Soon, the Chen family servants dug a snow cave, and someone curiously couldn't help but enter.
"Wow, it's so warm in here!"
The person couldn't help but exclaim, and others became curious when they heard it. "Is it true? Don't deceive us!"
"Why would I deceive you? Come in and try it for yourselves!"
The person immediately left the snow cave, and others entered, all exclaiming in surprise, "It's true! It's much warmer than outside."
"Alright, don't collapse it!"
Seeing their reaction, Chen Xue interrupted, "You can dig your own snow cave."
Seeing Chen Xue speaking, they naturally didn't dare to argue again and went to dig their own snow caves.
"Don't get too close, keep some distance, or you might collapse other people's snow caves."
Seeing them crowded together again, Chen Xue couldn't help but remind them.
Then, she kindly instructed her subordinates to guide them, fearing that many unlucky people would be buried in the snow tonight if not.
After arranging everything, Chen Xue left and continued to make her birthday cake.
When the prisoners saw Chen Xue leaving, they all bowed and respectfully saw her off, feeling deeply grateful to her.
Whether it was teaching them divine art or teaching them to dig snow caves, it was like saving their lives.
If you counted the previous incidents where the Chen family saved them from the bandits, Chen Xue had already saved them several times.
They were not all heartless and ungrateful. Their jealousy before was just because of their envy.
But now, knowing that Chen Xue was a disciple of the Kunshan Immortal, the gap between her identity and theirs was like the difference between heaven and earth.
If the gap between two people was not too big, then the other person might feel jealous.
But if the gap between two people was as vast as that between heaven and earth, and the other person could only look up, then jealousy would not exist. Instead, there would be more admiration and awe.
That's how it was now.
Chen Xue was a disciple of an immortal, and her identity destined the gap between them for their entire lives. Plus, Chen Xue taught them divine art and how to dig snow caves, so they felt more grateful than jealous now.
"Tomorrow is Xiao Die's birthday. Let's make it grand!"
Chen Xue rolled up her sleeves. "Tomorrow, I will showcase my skills and let you taste what real delicacies are like."
"Oh?" Madam Chen was surprised. "Then I must taste Xiao Xue's cooking properly!"
Beside her, Xiao Die was pleasantly surprised, "Miss, I... it's not necessary to make it so grand. I'm just a servant girl, and now..."
"No!" Chen Xue interrupted her, pulling her into her arms. "We are good sisters and one family."
"Besides, birthdays are not trivial matters. Everyone only has one each year."
Xiao Die was only sixteen years old, younger than herself, and had not even reached adulthood in her previous life.
So Chen Xue had always treated her like a younger sister.
Xiao Die was deeply moved, tears rolling down like pearls, vowing to repay Miss and the master and mistress well in this life.
"System, exchange a birthday gift package for me!"
Chen Xue had already noticed that as long as she had enough contribution points, she could exchange for anything. She had seen this so-called birthday gift package these days.
The so-called gift package was actually some birthday supplies, such as birthday candles, balloons, birthday hats, and even longevity noodles, as well as gift boxes for wrapping gifts.
Chen Xue pushed Xiao Die away and pulled her parents into the room. "Dad, mom, this is a gift box. Let's use it to wrap the gifts we give to Xiao Die."
Seeing this exquisite gift box, Madam Chen's eyes lit up. "Okay, I will think carefully about what gifts to give."
"How about helping me think too?" Chen Yuan had a headache. "I haven't given gifts much, especially to other women..."
"Think for yourself!" Madam Chen glared at him. "Xiao Die has contributed so much to our family. How can we treat her so casually?"
"I..."
Chen Yuan pursed his lips. Wasn't this afraid that you would be jealous? Besides, he really hadn't given gifts to other women before, so he didn't know what to give.
However, thinking of Xiao Die being almost the same age as his daughter and recalling the gifts he had given to his daughter before, Chen Yuan had an idea.
"We are now exiled. Where can we find gifts..."
"Isn't your fortune there? Go find it yourself!" Madam Chen glared at him, pointing to the warehouse not far away from the bamboo house.
The Chen family's savings were all there, and it was easy to find some gifts for Xiao Die from those savings.
After discussing it, they left the house and began to prepare for the next day.
The next day, the exiled team continued to move forward.
Thanks to Chen Xue's instructions on snow caves, no one died from the cold. Everyone was energetic and obviously slept well.
However, the surrounding snow was vast and monotonous, and the monotonous colors made everyone's mood also become monotonous.
"When will we get through this winter!"
Cold, hungry, tired.
Various emotions enveloped them, making them regret their past mistakes.
But regrets were useless now.
The team instantly fell silent, and everyone seemed to be immersed in a quiet mood, while Chen Xue's family was in a joyous atmosphere.
"Xiao Die, today is your birthday, so you don't need to work. Leave everything to us!"
"Miss, how can that be?"
"What did you call me?"
"Miss!"
"You actually know I'm Miss, so should you listen to me!"
"Yes!"
"Then I order you to take a good rest!"
