However, they couldn't explain themselves if they didn't send her to their destinations, so they could only vent their anger on Qiao Lanlan and the others.
Especially Mother Qiao, whose health wasn't good, to begin with, and she hadn't done any vigorous exercise for many years. She had already reached her limit long ago in this journey.
After she staggered and fell to the ground, an officer came forward and gave her two lashes with his whip. "Hurry up. If you dawdle any longer, I won't be able to complete my mission before the new year."
"Officer, officer, please stop. My mother really can't walk anymore. Why don't we take a break?" Qiao Lanlan kneeled and begged.
When the others heard this, they immediately agreed. It was difficult to walk in the snow; they were all exhausted and couldn't move.
