The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

After Fu Yunxi returned home, she didn't even enter the house, but went straight to get the carriage.

None of the brothers in Yunmu Village had received raincoats, so she had to prepare a lot. The most important things were lighting equipment such as oil lamps and torches. The sky was gloomy, as if a giant python was coiled in the air, ready to swallow people at any time.

Without lighting, no one would be able to work later. Fortunately, she had a lot of these things stored in her space. After Fu Yunxi transferred the supplies directly to the carriage, she prepared to set off.

"Second sister-in-law, what is the current situation?"

Liu Yue and a few others saw some movement in the yard from afar and came out to check.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Fu Yunxi's return, and he was about to set off again, so he asked about the situation.

"Things are basically done. My husband and Yiheng are still building fortifications in the back mountain. It will probably be finished soon. I'm going to give them straw raincoats, oil lamps and other supplies. You guys go in quickly. I'll be back soon."

Time was running out, so Fu Yunxi could only briefly explain it to them.

"Come on, sister-in-law. I'll go with you. You can't handle so many people. The babies are asleep, and I'm free."

Liu Yue proposed to go with Fu Yunxi. When they set out earlier, she had to stay behind to look after the baby and sister-in-law, but now the babies were asleep, so it would be fine for her mother and the others to take care of them. Anyway, they wouldn't be gone for long.

"I'll go too, ma'am. You stay at home and take care of Jie'er and mother."

Aunt Jiang also planned to get on the carriage with Liu Yue, so it should be fine to leave Luo at home.

"Okay, then you must be careful. Yue'er is pregnant, so you should take good care of her."

Seeing this, Mrs. Luo was unable to stop Liu Yue. She originally wanted to go, but she would not feel at ease if only Mrs. Jiang and a few others were left at home, so she had no choice but to stay.

"Okay, we'll be back soon, don't worry, mom."

Seeing that Liu Yue and Aunt Jiang had already boarded the carriage, Fu Yunxi stopped trying to stop them. There were thirty or forty people in Yunmu Village, and she really couldn't handle it all by herself.

Luo watched the carriage go away and could only go back and pray that everyone would be safe tonight and that nothing unexpected would happen.

Fu Yunxi did not delay too much, and as the carriage was moving quite fast, the three of them arrived at the back mountain early.

When the brothers Mu Yibai and Mu Yiheng saw that it was their own carriage, they immediately stepped forward to meet it, and their elder brother Mu also came to help.

"Yue'er, why are you here? Please take care of yourself."

Mu Yiheng didn't expect his wife to come as well, and he was very worried about her health.

"We are here to deliver supplies and we will be back soon. I am not that delicate."

Several people were busy moving the supplies down. The situation with the straw raincoat was still optimistic. It wasn't raining so there was no need to be too anxious.

However, the oil lamps and torches really solved the urgent problem. The sky was getting darker and if they continued, they would have to work in the dark.

"How is the progress? How long will it take to be completed?"

Fu Yunxi looked at everyone who was busy.

A long section of the ditch has been dug and many stones have been placed in the earth wall. Let's just hope that these will work!

"It will take some time. We will focus on the Mojia Village area and try to complete it before the rain."

Mu Yibai answered conservatively. The villagers were all working hard, but the rescue work could not be completed in a short time, so they had to speed up.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. We'll distribute oil lamps, torches and water to everyone."

Fu Yunxi did not waste any more time. The heavier raincoats had already been distributed by Brother Mu, and they were responsible for the rest. She had not asked Aunt Mo and others to take out the oil lamps from home before, because in this era, oil lamps were very precious to ordinary people. The villagers usually worked from sunrise to sunset and seldom used oil lamps for lighting.

"Okay, stay safe."

Mu Yibai looked at Fu Yunxi deeply, and Fu Yunxi responded with a reassuring smile.

"Mother, Yue'er, you should also pay attention to safety and go back as soon as possible."

After Mu Yiheng finished explaining things to his aunt and Liu Yue, he turned back to work. The sooner he finished, the sooner he could return home!

Fu Yunxi and the other two distributed water and oil lamps along the path where everyone was working. This place had been reclaimed and carriages could not pass through, so they could only carry the items over bit by bit. Fortunately, Aunt Wang and others arrived quickly and joined them!

"Yunhuo, please stop and drink some water for a moment."

When Aunt Jiang walked up to Yunhuo holding an oil lamp and a water bag, she found that his upper body was almost soaked with sweat. He was carrying a stone on his shoulder, and his hair and cheeks were soaked with sweat. In addition, it was dark at this time, so he might have difficulty seeing the road under his feet. Even so, he was still working hard.

"Thank you. What brought you here? The roads here are difficult to navigate. Please be careful."

Yunhuo was so tired that he was out of breath. He took the water bag from Aunt Jiang and drank several big gulps before he caught his breath. The water mixed with sweat flowed down as he swallowed. The muscle lines on his body were clearly visible. Aunt Jiang saw that he was really exhausted.

"Don't work too hard. You don't know if your body has fully recovered yet, but you're still doing such heavy work. Stop and drink water when you need to rest. If it rains, remember to put on your raincoat."

Don't worry, I'm fine now, all thanks to Yue'er and Yibai's wife. They are both heroines with superb medical skills. They can even sew up a person's chest and abdomen after opening them.

When Yunhuo recalled this incident, he was still full of admiration for them. The two young girls actually cured his hidden injuries.

"Okay, I won't delay you any longer. We'll go back after distributing the remaining oil lamps and water. Please be careful." Aunt Jiang chatted with Yunhuo about family matters for a while and then planned to continue distributing supplies.

"Okay, be careful when you go back." Yunhuo held the water in his hand and watched Aunt Jiang walk towards the carriage to get supplies.

At this moment, the sky was gradually darkening. He could see Aunt Jiang's figure clearly in the light of the oil lamp. Even in this chaotic environment, her graceful temperament was still not concealed. When she saw her taking the supplies and preparing to deliver them to the next group of people, Yunhuo stopped watching and turned to work.

Mu Aiguo is no longer around, and he has to protect his family, including Aunt Jiang.

……

Fu Yunxi and others returned after distributing the supplies. Before leaving, they left a large bag of rice balls for the village head so that anyone could eat them if they were hungry.

At first, she distributed the food to a few people, but everyone said they were not hungry, so she stopped distributing it one by one and left it with the village head so that anyone who was hungry could eat it.

Aunt Mo and the others also returned, thinking of making a hot meal and boiling a pot of hot water, waiting for their husbands to come home.

"You guys should sit down and have a rest. You must be tired!" As soon as Fu Yunxi and others entered the room, Luo took out the prepared water and snacks.

"Are you hungry? The food is ready and you can eat anytime." Lin Jie was originally sleeping in the inner room with her child, but now she came out. The room was very warm because of the floor heating.

Fu Yunxi was concerned about Mu Yibai and the others, so she replied, "I'm not hungry, is Yue'er hungry?"

Liu Yue also said she was not hungry and asked Lin Jie to take a rest.

Aunt Jiang also had no appetite.

Luo and Lin Jie could only wait at home and could not help. The two sisters Jiaojiao stayed in the inner room to accompany Dabao and Erbao to sleep.

When Luo asked about the situation in the back mountain, Fu Yunxi said, “It’s not bad. Although it’s dark, we sent oil lamps and torches to illuminate the area.

Everyone is working very hard, hoping to finish the work before the rain comes.”
