The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back
Chapter 60: Foolish Cai
Fu Yunxi felt that the carriage was slowing down and seemed to have strayed from the official road.
"They ran far away. A large group of rats just crossed the street. Many people were bitten to death before they could escape."
Mu Yibai glanced back while driving and saw that many people fleeing famine were running too slowly. Even though the rats had passed, there was still a lot of "food" left by the rats on the official road.
"Has this happened before? A swarm of this size is very strange."
Everyone in the car came back to their senses. Fu Yunxi lifted the curtain and discussed with Mu Yibai, "It has never happened before. The abnormality of the animals may indicate a natural disaster, perhaps a dragon turning over."
Everything is different from the previous life. Although there was an earth dragon turning over in the previous life, there was no encounter with a group of rats. Mu Yibai was very confused. Could it be that so many changes were caused by his rebirth?
Or did God intend for their road to exile to be difficult, causing them to encounter so many disasters?
No matter whether it is God or anyone else, he will never give up. He will protect his family and reach the border safely in this life!
"It's not a good place to stay for long. There are trees and rocks all around. We need to go to an open space quickly."
When Fu Yunxi heard the earth dragon turning over, she immediately remembered that there was indeed an earthquake plot in the book. She never expected the earthquake to be so fierce that the official road was first baptized by the rats.
"Well, Yiheng, go talk to Zheng Chengyuan."
"Husband, wait, look at the ants over there!"
Fu Yunxi's attention was suddenly attracted by the densely packed ants at the roots of the tree. The ants were very strange, as big as a child's thumb, and there were more and more of them, like ants.
"Oh no, this isn't an ordinary ant. I'm afraid it will bite. It's too late. Let's go!"
These ants are not only large in size, but also unusual in color, with a bright red front end and a pitch-black tail. You must be careful of them biting people or horses.
"We can't stay here, move to an open space immediately!"
Mu Yibai shouted towards the Chen family and Yunmu Village behind him, and drove the carriage with Mu Yiheng towards the soldiers.
"It's strange to see rats crossing the street, and there are strange ants in the forest. I'm afraid there might be a ground dragon turning over. Move to an open space quickly!"
With no time to say more, Mu Yibai could only briefly explain the situation to Zheng Chengyuan and ask everyone to evacuate as soon as possible.
"Move quickly! Don't stay here, go to the open space in the north, speed up!"
Zheng Chengyuan also noticed the abnormal ants that kept crawling out, and felt that what Mu Yibai said was very true. The most urgent thing was to get to an open space as soon as possible to be safer.
"Don't stop, get on board and speed up!"
"Everyone sit tight, let's go!"
"Don't fall behind. Falling behind will be treated as escaping from the crime. Hurry up!"
The exile team set out again, and the brothers from Yunmu Village did not stop either, running straight towards the open space in the north.
Cai finally managed to pull the horse to rest for a while, but when she couldn't pull it any further, she unloaded the cart behind the horse.
Before she had time to catch her breath, Zheng Chengyuan ordered everyone to head to the open space in the north again.
Cai suddenly had an idea and thought that he could take a detour to the open space in the north.
There were many people resting on both sides of the official road just now. They escaped, but many of them were trapped by the rats.
These people have dry food and money on them. If we go over now, we can get some great bargains!
"Come with me and go that way." Cai did as she said. She led the horse and asked Liu and Mu Yuanzhang to take a detour to the official road.
At this time, everyone was only concerned about escaping, and the officers and soldiers had no time to pay attention to them. They just needed to be there when the head count was done later.
"Mom! What happened to you? There are a lot of rats over there, all dead. Why are you going there?"
Liu was almost going crazy. She was already tired of holding Zhang'er by herself, and her mother-in-law kept asking her to do strange things.
"Why do you have so many questions? I asked you to pull the horse, why didn't you? This is our food for the next few days! Even though there are corpses over there, isn't there any food that hasn't been collected in time? If you don't go now, you will starve to death! If you go, you can still have a meal, so why should I go there!"
Cai couldn't help cursing and shouted out all her thoughts in one breath.
After all, she couldn't carry much by herself and needed help.
"Mother, why didn't you tell me earlier? I just couldn't pull the horse anymore, and its front leg hasn't healed yet, so it won't move. Should we ask Aunt and the others to go with us?"
"What did you call them for? Did they call you when they ran away just now?"
Cai no longer paid any attention to Liu, turned around and pulled her horse and ran towards the official road.
"Everyone was shouting just now! You didn't hear it, did you?" Liu was helpless and could only mutter in a low voice. She didn't dare let Cai hear it.
She thought that Zhang'er was Cai's eldest grandson, and those concubines usually didn't get along with Cai, so it was understandable that Cai ignored them, but she would definitely not harm her great-grandson.
Thinking of this, Liu followed Cai to the official road more determinedly, thinking about looking for supplies.
"Xi'er, look at what the people from the second room are doing?"
It seemed that Cai and Liu had turned back again, as the road here was easier to walk on. When the carriage was moving, Luo glanced outside and found that Cai and Liu were running back to the official road as if they were risking their lives, bringing the child Mu Yuanzhang with them.
In order to pick up the remaining supplies, Cai and Liu actually returned to the official road.
Luo felt that they were greedy and had no common sense, even daring to eat things that had been eaten by rats. She was worried that they would bring trouble to the entire team.
Fu Yunxi also opened the curtain of the carriage and watched Cai dragging the horse back to pick up supplies along the way. This operation was shocking.
Fu Yunxi was worried that Cai would get sick and infect everyone.
Aunt Jiang realized the seriousness of the matter. She didn't expect Cai to be so stupid. This was not only a life-threatening act, but it might also harm the entire team and the surrounding people.
Mu Yibai told her husband that Cai and Liu from the second house had gone back to collect dry food, but the dry food was not safe because it had been eaten by rats, so Zheng Chengyuan needed to be informed in advance so that he could be prepared.
Mu Yiheng also saw Cai and the others picking up packages and was very annoyed.
Cai was lucky enough to pick up a water bag, opened it and drank from it, and also found some dry food.
Liu was afraid that the child would be traumatized by seeing the corpse on the roadside, so she covered Mu Yuanzhang's eyes with her hands.
Liu felt that they had taken almost everything they could, and urged Cai to leave quickly, saying that it was not safe here, and the soldiers had just said they wanted to move.
After Cai harnessed the cart and Liu fed the horses, the three of them got back on the cart. The horses, having regained their strength, ran much faster than before.
