The vicious stepmother doesn't clean up her innocence, she slaps her face professionally and ra

Mrs. Pei comforted her sincerely: "Daughter, can you please let Daddy rest assured? Daddy promises you that Daddy will get better as soon as possible and will definitely bring you back in person. You go with Mrs. Shen and learn from Mrs. Shen."

Gu Yiyi glanced at Lin Ziyan, and the two of them exited the tent first, leaving the father and daughter some time.

The two of them also took the opportunity to communicate about the follow-up treatment situation.

Lin Ziyan arranged everything in an orderly manner, and Gu Yiyi could feel completely at ease, but Lin Ziyan was a little worried about them.

"Madam, is it safe for you to go back this time? Will Xie Anze send someone to secretly do harm to you?"

"It's okay, we have our own arrangements. We are in danger if we stay here all the time, so we decided to leave."

Lin Ziyan knew that they must have carefully considered this decision.

So no more words were said. After the two discussed it for a while, Xiao Jin'er walked out of the tent.

In the end, she was persuaded by Pei and followed Gu Yiyi back to Pingshan Town.

As expected, the emperor's imperial edict arrived in Lucheng on the fourth day.

The man came on horseback day and night. The moment he read out the imperial edict, everyone was excited.

"Thank you for your kindness, long live my emperor!!"

With this imperial edict, they can completely relax. As long as the epidemic subsides, Lucheng will return to its former prosperity.

This kind of blessing gave the people in Lucheng who had experienced life and death a feeling of surviving after a disaster.

And the person they should thank the most, took his family and left Lucheng that night.

Gu Yiyi and the others chose to leave at night, just to avoid the eyes and ears, and it was also the safest way.

The route has also been mapped out, taking the official route, so that if something goes wrong, it will be easy to deal with it.

What's more, with Song Zhi's people secretly following him, Gu Yiyi didn't have to worry.

Gu Yiyi had been preparing for this departure for a long time.

It was no longer as warm as they had come here. As winter approached, the temperature dropped. As early as two days ago, Gu Yiyi found a shop in Lucheng and bought some thick clothes with the shopkeeper for her family to change into.

However, due to the epidemic, there was no time to purchase and rush production, so the thickest ready-made garment was a quilted jacket.

If you wear more layers, you can still resist the wind and cold.

But they didn't expect that two days after setting out on the road, the weather would cool down quickly. The journey of only a few hundred miles felt like two seasons.

Especially after crossing a mountainous area, they clearly felt the change in temperature. Even though they wore several layers of clothes, they felt chilly.

The children gathered around the carriage. Gu Yiyi took an iron basin, picked up some dry firewood along the way, and burned it inside to keep warm.

But the road is bumpy and there are risks. The main reason is that everyone is not wearing thick clothes, so this is not a long-term solution.

She herself felt chilly, not to mention Mr. Mei and Shen Changfeng who were riding outside.

On several occasions, Butcher Wang found various excuses to squeeze into the carriage to keep warm. His lips trembled with the cold, and he sighed with his hands in his sleeves.

"Madam, it's not a problem for us to continue like this. After passing by Nanling, it will only get colder in the north. Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it will snow north of Nanling. We have to go to nearby towns in advance to see if there are any clothes to keep out the cold. Just fine.

Otherwise, when we enter the Nanling Mountain area, we might freeze to death. Our food preparations are not enough. "

Gu Yiyi also had this intention. She had looked at the map a day ago. There was a small town at the foot of Nanling Mountain, but she didn't know if the town had been affected by the epidemic. If the shop was not open, wouldn't the trip be in vain?

But this trip is also necessary.

Thinking of this, she gave Butcher Wang directions and asked him to go to the town first.

What Gu Yiyi didn't expect was that before they entered the Nanling Mountains, it started snowing outside the town.

The snowflakes were not big, but white ice crystals fell from the sky and fell on the face, which was ice cold.

Sanbao was so cold that he kept digging into Gu Yiyi's arms: "Mom, do we have to pick up some dry firewood? Sanbao is so cold."

Gu Yiyi's face turned blue when she saw the children, especially Xiao Jin'er. Unlike Erbao and Sanbao, she dared to dig into her to keep warm.

He just sat quietly near the door and said nothing.

Gu Yiyi felt a little distressed, so she called her to where she was sitting. She sat at the door and then comforted her.

"We will arrive in the town soon. Mom will help you look at some thick clothes."

Their top priority was to find an inn to stay in and let everyone warm up first.

Otherwise, it would be really bad if you get hypothermia.

Fortunately, there were still people coming and going at the entrance of the town, which proved that the situation was not as bad as she thought.

Butcher Wang seemed to have seen a life-saving straw: "Hey madam! There is someone in the town. Let's find an inn quickly. Look, the children are freezing!"

He quickened his horse speed and headed straight for the town streets.

There were few people on the streets, but the inn was still open.

Without saying a word, they settled their children into the inn. There was a pot of charcoal burning in the warm room. Their bodies, which were numb from the cold, gradually recovered.

The shopkeeper's enthusiasm made them hot tea, and when he saw how thinly they were dressed, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm afraid the officials are coming from the south, right? You have to hurry up and buy some things to keep out the cold. For some reason this year, it snowed so much earlier than usual. I'm afraid the natural disasters are not going away, and the epidemic has just recovered. , the celestial phenomena are abnormal.”

Seeing the melancholy look on the shopkeeper's face, Gu Yiyi corrected her with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I think it is because the epidemic has subsided that God has sent snow in advance to cover this human tragedy. As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the weather will be good for the people in the coming year. Good harvest!”

The shopkeeper quickly laughed out loud and echoed: "What Madam said is absolutely true, what she said is absolutely true!!"

"Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest."

Gu Yiyi smiled, and after she felt a little warmer, she and the shopkeeper borrowed a straw raincoat, and went to the street with Shen Changfeng to find a shop selling clothes.

There are not many ready-made clothes these days, so people usually buy the fabrics themselves and make them.

The cold snow came so suddenly that the cloth shops had no time to stock up. Ready-made clothes were also being made in a hurry, so there were not many thick clothes in the shops.

But no matter how thick they are, they are just bulky cotton-padded jackets.

In Gu Yiyi's opinion, this does not have much effect on keeping warm at all.

It's okay to stay at home on weekdays, but they have to travel outdoors in the mountainous areas, and the requirements for keeping out the cold are even higher.

These ready-to-wear garments are not waterproof or windproof, and their warmth retention is average.

Thinking of this, Gu Yiyi simply bought some thick material that could prevent wind, and then asked the shopkeeper.

"Shopkeeper, do you still have a restaurant open in this small town?"

The shopkeeper didn't know what she was asking about in the restaurant, so he just pointed to the road in front of her: "It's right ahead."

After Gu Yiyi paid the bill, she walked to the restaurant. Shen Changfeng was a little confused: "Madam, do you want to go to the restaurant to see if there is anything to eat?"

Gu Yiyi shook her head: "Go to the restaurant to find something warm."

"Oh?"
