My house was confiscated and I was exiled. I emptied the emperor's warehouse and fled.

Dozens of members of Uncle Chu's second uncle's family gathered in front of the Chu family. Among them, the deceased's grandmother, Chu Yi's second uncle, was the most devastated.

Seeing her sad expression as the white-haired person sent the black-haired person to her, dozens of people in the Chu family couldn't bear to look at her anymore, and their hearts became heavy.

"Brothers and sisters, my condolences." Mrs. Chu couldn't bear it and comforted her.

The second uncle heard this and knelt down in front of her, "Sister-in-law, I sold my life to you, please avenge my grandson."

The female family members behind her also knelt on the ground and begged loudly.

Mrs. Chu and all the female relatives of the Chu family quickly stretched out their hands to help the second uncle up, but the female relatives behind the second uncle hurriedly stepped forward and stopped the supporting hands.

The second uncle's knees seemed to be glued to the ground, and she only held Mrs. Chu's hand tightly: "Sister-in-law, please promise me first."

"How can I, an old woman, avenge you!" Mrs. Chu couldn't help but break free from her hand when she saw that she was obsessed with it.

The second uncle said matter-of-factly: "You have a group of outstanding children and grandchildren. As long as they come forward, they will definitely succeed."

Mrs. Chu said at the right time: "Second Aunt, it's not like you don't know that we, the women of the Chu family, can't take care of men's affairs. It's useless for you to beg my mother. You'd better get up."

"What are you talking about..."

"Of course it's the truth." Chu Yi walked over solemnly and interrupted the second uncle's words.

He glanced at the second uncle's family members in front of him with great disgust, looked away and said: "Grandma, mother, and sisters-in-law, you go back to the tent to pack your things first, so as not to delay the trip."

"That's fine." The old lady turned around and left with the people, no longer caring about those who came to ask for help.

Not far away, the men of Uncle Chu's family, who let the woman take the lead, had pale faces and were dumbfounded.

Second Uncle Chu took a deep breath, licked his old face and said: "Chu Shao, no matter what, you and I are of Chu family blood. For the sake of our ancestors, please help me."

"You are no longer a member of my clan, and I will not interfere in other people's family affairs." Chu Shao looked indifferent.

Second Uncle Chu gritted his teeth with hatred: "Are you really going to be so heartless?"

"It was your grandson who destroyed humanity, and he deserves the blame." Chu Shao said calmly, "I ask you, if your family members are infected with the disease one day, should you give up treatment and kill them on the spot?"

The second uncle approached quickly and said in a hateful voice: "How dare you curse us? In my opinion, you are the only one who got the disease, and your whole family got the disease..."

After the female members of the Chu family refused and avoided, the second uncle who consciously lowered her body and lost her face was so angry that she almost went crazy. When she heard Chu Shao's words, she immediately breathed out fragrance.

After hearing this, Mrs. Chu immediately went out to scold her, even if she could still stay in the tent.

But as soon as she lifted up the tent, she saw Chu Yi grabbing the second uncle's eldest son by the back of his collar, dragging him aside and punching him, and a scream like a slaughtering pig suddenly sounded in the air.

Others wanted to step forward to help, but they were blocked by a group of Chu family members, and no one could step forward.

Chu Yi stopped moving and glanced at his second uncle with contemptuous eyes: "If you curse again, I will beat you three times. Let's see if it's your sharp tongue or your eldest son's thick skin."

The second uncle was so angry that she jumped up and down. She was about to say something, but the eldest daughter-in-law, who was heartbroken to see her husband being beaten, covered her mouth and cried: "Mom, stop talking..."

In the end, Uncle Chu's family left in despair.

After the Chu family was made such a fuss, no one was in the mood to eat. Many of the female family members complained that Su Yunwan had gone too far and brought trouble to their family.

But soon, they gave up.

As the team moved eastward, the drought became more and more severe, and water sources became increasingly scarce. Sometimes there was no water anywhere for a whole day.

The preventive measures previously taken, such as wearing face coverings, drinking boiled water, and washing hands frequently, are no longer in place regarding water use.

Take drinking boiled water for example. People who have been accustomed to drinking boiled water all their lives, when they are extremely thirsty, will just hold the water in their hands and drink it as soon as they find the water source.

And washing hands frequently is impossible due to lack of water resources.

Throughout the ranks, people were getting worse and worse. Many people developed high fever, cough and other discomforts, and Doctor Hua diagnosed them with the epidemic.

People are caught in unprecedented tension, and the atmosphere is depressing, dull, and solemn...

That afternoon, Su Yunwan was taking a lunch break when he suddenly heard an exclamation coming from the carriage behind him.

Soon, Shier came to report: "The eldest lady has a high fever, and Dr. Hua is treating her."

Qin Junyi's face tightened and he ordered: "Immediately free up a carriage for the eldest lady to ride alone."

Su Yunwan added: "Take a bottle of high-altitude liquor to wipe and disinfect the carriage, and give Grandma and the others a new carriage."

Shi Er took the order and left.

Soon, Qin Ruolan's cries and the news that she was diagnosed with the epidemic came.
