The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

Fortunately, we dug up a lot of turnips in the mountains today, otherwise the injuries everyone suffered in these two battles would be really worrying.

After all, the weather is very hot, and a minor injury may become inflamed and fester if you are not careful.

After everyone packed their bags, they set off again. In the end, there were more than 57 wolves in total. Each family got about 8, and the officials took away 30.

In fact, the distribution was not entirely based on who killed the wolves. After all, the number of enemies killed by everyone varied greatly. Among them, Mu Yibai's family killed the most enemies, followed by the Wang family and the Chen family, and the Zhu family followed closely behind. The Ruan family and the second branch of the Mu family basically did not kill any wolves. They pretended to be stupid and took the three wolves in front of them for themselves.

The officer did not say much when seeing this. He thought that there was so much wolf meat and it was difficult to preserve it at the moment. It was also unrealistic to kill them all, so he just agreed.

"Second brother, take your men and light five or four torches in the middle of the team. Remember, spread out a little."

At this moment, any supplies are extremely precious, including tinder. When traveling at night, taking a few torches for lighting is a helpless move and must not be wasted.

"All right, boss."

Mu Yiguo also took Manqing, had his left leg simply bandaged, and lay on the cart, enduring the pain. The horse pulling the cart was also injured, and the road was bumpy, which made Mu Yiguo even more painful.

Most of the others were also sitting in carriages and could not endure such torture.

"Sister-in-law, are you feeling comfortable sitting in this cart?" Fu Yunxi had laid thick bedding on the cart in advance to reduce the bumps.

Lin is nearly five months pregnant with twins, so her belly is bigger than that of ordinary pregnant women and she has to be extra careful.

So she planned to find a way to get a proper carriage when she arrived at the next village, even if it meant removing the roof. After all, a carriage was more stable than a cart, and Lin would be more comfortable riding in it.

"Don't worry, Xier, I'm sitting very comfortably. You all can come up and sit with me." Lin felt very warm in her heart. Although her husband had passed away, she was taken care of by her gentle mother-in-law and siblings. Even when she was pregnant during exile, she did not suffer too much.

"I can walk, and I can look after the oil lamp. I think we will be out of this mountainous area soon."

Fu Yunxi took out the oil lamps in the space and placed one on each cart. Although the officials were reluctant to use torches, they had sufficient supplies and did not need to save.

Jiaojiao and Lin Xue were still young and could no longer hold on, so they fell asleep beside Lin.

Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Luo and Aunt Jiang were sitting in another carriage.

In this dark night road, if there is no light, the horse may stumble and the people in the car may be in danger. If she didn't want to be exposed, she would have wanted to take out the powerful lighting in the space.

"Okay, then you can come up anytime you're tired."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Fu Yunxi prefers walking to riding a cart. She wants to exercise her body. After all, she has just started practicing martial arts.

"Ah—my legs!"

The horse on the cart that Mu Yiguo was riding was tripped by a stone and fell down with its front legs on the ground, causing the cart to fall forward. Mu Yiguo fell forward suddenly due to inertia, and Cai, who was riding in the same cart with him, also fell off.

"Master, are you okay?" Cai touched her sore butt and walked forward to check on Mu Yiguo's injuries.

"Didn't you see that I fell? Come and help me up!" Several concubines hurriedly helped Ma'er and Mu Yiguo up.

"Master, I'm afraid this horse can't pull heavy objects. Its front legs are trembling." The third aunt was the first to discover the abnormality. The horse's front thigh had been bitten by a wolf and just hit the ground. It would not be able to pull heavy objects for a short time.

"You are so useless! Hurry up and lift me onto the cart, and you all go down and walk." Cai went down unwillingly with several concubines.

After walking for more than an hour, the team finally walked out of the mountain area and stopped. It was already dawn.

"Stop and set up camp. Rest up on your own. You will deal with the wolves on your own. We will not set off today. We will set out tomorrow morning."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Some set up camp to sleep, while others processed the wolf meat as soon as possible. Even though the temperature was 30 degrees at night, the meat could not be kept and needed to be processed as soon as possible.

"Husband, can you dissect a wolf?" Fu Yunxi looked at Wei Yunnuo, thinking about what the ancients often said: a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. He might not know how to do this, but she also thought that he had served in the army when he was young and should have rich experience in surviving in the wild.

In fact, when she was doing scientific research in her previous life, dissecting animal corpses was a compulsory course, and she was very familiar with it. But if Mu Yibai could do it, she would prepare the ingredients for smoking meat so that it could be done faster.

"I'll cut open the wolf. You go and get some rest. You haven't slept all night."

"I'm fine. If you want me to cut open the meat, I'll go get some firewood. Let mom and the others rest first. I'll go rest after I smoke the meat. Then mom and the others can watch the fire."

"You can also cook bacon?" Mu Yibai was very surprised. He couldn't even cook bacon, but he didn't expect his wife to be so omnipotent.

"Of course, if this much wolf meat is cut into strips and made into smoked meat, it can be preserved for a long time. We can almost finish smoking it today."

"Okay, let Yiheng find whatever you need. You just give him instructions." Mu Yibai said as he took a knife to cut open the wolf. It was a piece of cake for him to kill just a few wolves.

In just one stick of incense, he completely skinned a wolf, cut the wolf meat into strips and put it away, then continued to dissect another one, waiting for Mu Yibai's praise.

On the other side, Fu Yunxi was trying hard to persuade Jiang and the others to go and rest first.

Their bodies might not be able to withstand such hard work, and the two little girls had already fallen asleep.

"Mom, you must go and rest. We will pre-process the wolf meat first, and then go to sleep. We will have to trouble you to watch the fire when the time comes. Let's arrange our time reasonably."

"Okay then! We'll just take a nap. Remember to call us."

"Go to bed, mom. We'll have breakfast together when you wake up."

"it is good."

"Sister-in-law, you haven't eaten for so long, are you hungry? Have a glass of milk before going to bed! Milk helps you sleep and it replenishes your body."

Fu Yunxi took out a glass of milk and handed it to Lin, and then took out some food and water and asked Liu to feed the horse.

Mu Yiheng had already gone to collect firewood nearby, and the main house was extremely busy.
