Become a winner in life after binding the childbearing system
Chapter 364 Passersby Work Hard to Live (32)
The tent outside had been set up and a bright bonfire was lit not far away.
The weather was still a little hot. A group of people were sitting around the fire wearing fairly light clothes, chatting and laughing with each other. As for the supplies placed on the fire, they were all brought from the farm. They were simple and light and could fill the stomach, but they didn't taste very good.
Shen Yao and Liu Mingjin did not get off the car for the time being. The mother and son sat in the carriage, and Liu Jingyan was responsible for delivering all the food personally.
The warm rice porridge was served with a few refreshing side dishes, as well as some freshly opened pastries and drinks.
The mother and son sat on both sides of the small table and finished their food slowly.
"Get off the bus in a moment, and don't run around."
After dark, a white fog will rise around, and it is easy for people to get lost in the fog.
This is a phenomenon that has become increasingly severe every year after the strange outbreak. It did not occur very frequently before, but now it can be seen everywhere.
Shen Yao already had experience living in white fog, so she made sure the bonfire was always lit, and the white fog that emerged at night did not pose much of a threat.
It was Liu Mingjin's first time going out, and he was in a stage where everything was new to him.
Hearing his own mother's instructions, he quickly sat up and nodded obediently.
Shen Yao curled her lips and smiled, "Okay, take a break first, and get off the car later."
The carriage can accommodate people, but they cannot stretch out and it is easy to cause physical discomfort.
When they go out, they choose to live in tents unless they encounter some extremely special circumstances.
This time was no exception. The tent was set up. Although it looked a bit perfunctory, it was enough to accommodate their family of three.
Snapped--
When the dry wood burned, it made a crackling sound and emitted sparks of fire.
Shen Yao and Liu Mingjin had already entered the tent to rest, and several young guards were on guard outside.
They are all helpers brought by Liu Jingyan. They are not only good at fighting but also loyal.
Now they are divided into two groups according to the plan, carrying out different tasks among each other.
"Third brother, come back, there shouldn't be anything wrong." It was already late, and the guards were cold and hungry, and they didn't even have the mood to talk.
The man called Lao San shook his head and stood still. "Let me take a look. You guys go back first."
I had paid attention to the surroundings before, but I only felt that they were a bit deep and dark. Now, the outline of the mountains in the distance looks like a moving giant.
One has to be extremely careful when it comes to the place where the master rests. The third brother doesn't dare to be lazy and can only observe with his naked eyes.
The more I observed, the more anxious I became. I couldn't see any problem, but the violent beating of my heart didn't seem fake.
Turning around and waking up the leader of the team in charge of the night watch, the third brother briefly explained his discovery.
As a result, Shen Yao, who had been sleeping soundly, was forced to get up at night and hurried on her way under the moonlight.
Shen Yao:......
Liu Jingyan stayed in the carriage, holding his wife and children in his hands, staring out the window.
Unlike the calm and relaxed state of mind they had when they were traveling before, the convoy now seemed a little more panicked.
The dismantled tents were casually placed on the carriage, and the guards surrounding the carriage shrank into formation. The long swords originally placed at their waists were held horizontally, revealing their shiny blades.
Liu Mingjin opened her beautiful eyes and looked here and there.
The atmosphere around the carriage didn't seem to affect him. Liu Mingjin was still the same as before, except that he didn't talk much.
Shen Yao lowered her head and looked at the hands that were held by Liu Jingyan. The light in the car was dim and she could only see the outer contour of the human body, but not the facial expression.
After the carriage had been travelling for half an hour, the tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed and the speed slowed down.
Liu Jingyan was concerned about Shen Yao, "Are you okay?"
Shen Yao shook her head, "Still stopping the car?" Or just keep going forward.
Although traveling at night is more dangerous than during the day, they don't seem to have anything to be afraid of since they just experienced a disaster.
"Keep moving forward and get into the town as soon as possible." Crowded places can not only replenish used supplies, but also provide them with an indescribable sense of security.
Liu Jingyan had been highly focused since he was woken up, and now that he had rested he realized that most of his clothes were wet.
Waves of fatigue swept through his body, taking away his good physical strength.
Liu Jingyan looked back, not sure whether the thing behind him had been completely thrown away.
If the other party is chasing them relentlessly, if they stop to rest, they are just waiting for the other party to catch up, and the choice of escaping just now will be meaningless.
To be on the safe side, the most cost-effective option is to focus on your journey.
Shen Yao agreed with this and called Liu Mingjin over, hugged him and patted him, then suggested that Liu Jingyan explain everything to the guards.
It’s not that they, as masters, are unaware of the situation, but the crisis has not been completely resolved yet, and they have to keep moving forward to be safe.
Liu Jingyan pursed his lips and nodded, then lifted the door curtain and spoke a few words to the guards outside.
In fact, without Liu Jingyan saying anything, the guards knew that it was not a wise choice to stay at this time.
There was a huge monster following behind them. Would they want to stay here? They had to flee into the town quickly.
The speed of the carriage increased again, causing the things inside to fall all over the place.
Shen Yao protected Liu Mingjin, Liu Jingyan protected Shen Yao, and the family of three stayed in the carriage, hugging each other tightly, and no one continued to speak.
When the light from outside the sky streaked across the night, the bright golden light fell on the earth, and the carriage that had been running all night was finally able to stop for a while.
There happened to be a clear stream nearby, and Liu Jingyan used the stream water to clean himself.
Shen Yao and Liu Mingjin did not get out of the car. Instead, they waited for the water to be brought over and washed themselves before coming out for a walk and stretching their bodies.
We didn't stay for too long, and even had dry biscuits and pastries for breakfast.
The group hurried towards the town ahead, seizing every minute.
After a morning, a strange small town appeared before them.
The plaque hanging at the city gate has faded and is even covered with cracks.
Yangcheng
Shen Yao had some impression of it in her memory, but Yangcheng was really small. After entering, there was only a cross street, and there were only three or two inns.
After choosing the largest place to stay, Shen Yao could finally lie down and have a rest.
Liu Jingyan still had some things to deal with, so he just asked the waiter to bring some warm water and meals, and then he hid in the study next door and busy himself.
There was a knock on the door of the room. It was the waiter of the inn, who brought a bucket of warm water.
The food is still being prepared, but since it’s a small town and a small restaurant, you don’t have to ask for delicious food, just large portions to keep you full.
Liu Mingjin had fallen asleep and was snoring. Shen Yao took a moment to take a look and made sure nothing serious before cleaning herself with warm water.
She is not picky about food. As long as the food doesn't taste too weird, she will eat it all.
"We will stay in Yangcheng for two more days. Don't worry, the message has been sent back."
Liu Jingyan came out from next door and sat in front of Shen Yao in a refreshing outfit.
He still had the scent of ink on him, which was faint and just like the person himself.
"I remember that Yangcheng once suffered a devastating disaster. Would you like to meet the mayor of Yangcheng?"
The current mayor of Yangcheng turned the tide at the last moment when Yangcheng was in trouble and was able to save the people of Yangcheng.
It was also because of this that he was able to sit on the position of Lord of Yangcheng.
After all, this city lord was born in an ordinary family and had no chance to practice since childhood. He was just lucky enough to get a job at an escort company, and was able to enter the realm of martial arts with the help of the company's skills. Then he rushed forward as if he had been given a cheat code.
Because Yangcheng is geographically remote and there are no mineral deposits worth fighting for nearby, it does not matter much to the Liu family whether the new city lord takes the position or not.
It is not the case now. Just think about the huge monster that chased them all night last night. It must be related to Yangcheng.
Since they had seen all this, Liu Jingyan unceremoniously exposed the matter and waited for Liu Xiuwen to come and resolve it personally.
"I must meet him," and not only must he meet him, but he must also find out more about the city lord.
Liu Jingyan rubbed his nose with his hand and carefully read through the history of the Lord of Yangcheng's rise to wealth.
To sum it up, it's a routine: Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. First rely on women, then rely on father-in-law, and finally rely on yourself.
They certainly have their own abilities, but men also have many bad qualities.
During these years of civil strife among the human race, many people have suddenly risen to prominence like the Lord of Yangcheng.
There are only a few of them in Yingchuan area, and without exception, they were all recruited by the Liu family. The two sides cooperated and achieved a win-win situation.
"Be careful, we are in his territory now," and if he wants to take action, they can't hide.
Of course, since they traveled under the cover of darkness last night, they could not avoid contact with Yangcheng.
"You and Jin'er wait for me at the inn," Liu Jingyan knew his limits and would not do anything unwise before Liu Xiuwen arrived.
"The Lord of Yangcheng chose to stay in Yangcheng and hide away in a corner. It can be seen that he is not a person who likes to take action."
Otherwise, they would have been attacked from both sides last night instead of entering Yangcheng smoothly, which would have given them enough time to contact the Liu family.
Shen Yao felt that it was also possible that the Lord of Yangcheng could not afford to offend the Liu family.
It was as if they were being chased by a giant monster and could only run away instead of thinking about how to fight back.
"We have never been to Yangcheng. We can go shopping this time if we have the chance."
Although Yangcheng doesn't seem to have much to offer, the street is just a crossroad, less than a hundred meters long.
…………
"Mom, aren't we going back?"
After Liu Mingjin had a good sleep, he was directly grabbed by his mother and taken shopping.
Both of them had breakfast outside, and what they bought were not exquisite and delicious meals, but simple food sold by street vendors.
Liu Mingjin had never eaten this kind of thing before, and he was surprised when he tasted it.
Perhaps children all have the courage of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger. Shen Yao and he came out without any guards, just themselves.
Although Yangcheng is a small city, there are many people entering the city during the day. The mother and son entered the crowd, but they disappeared after a while.
Fortunately, Yangcheng is very safe during the day and there is no danger.
They walked from one end to the other, visited every store on both sides of the street, and when they came out, their empty hands were replaced by a lot of things.
Liu Mingjin puffed up his face, mainly because his mother was too crazy and the child was too energetic to walk.
After being comforted by Shen Yao's words, Liu Mingjin tried his best to carry the things back to the inn.
Liu Jingyan was not here at this time. He was sitting in the City Lord's Mansion and talking with the Lord of Yangcheng. Perhaps because the two of them had different auras, they ended up parting unhappily.
The Lord of Yangcheng is a very young man with a handsome face and outstanding features, and he is surrounded by many beautiful ladies.
This behavior is not suitable for the current situation, but the man looks normal, as if it is normal for him to attract so many women.
"City Lord, the Liu family is staying at the East City Inn. Do you want me to drive them away?"
Some lackeys came over to curry favor with the city lord, blaming Liu Jingyan and others implicitly.
However, no matter how much the lackey blamed him, he dared not say anything too extreme.
After all, the Liu family's influence is very outstanding in Yingchuan, and they are a small family in Yangcheng and cannot beat them.
"No need, keep them for now and let me make the arrangements," the man said fearlessly, holding the tea, not taking Liu Jingyan, who had the same level of cultivation as himself, seriously at all.
After so many years of a life of luxury, a man has lost his sensitivity.
Call him arrogant or conceited, the fact that Liu Jingyan came here today just proves that the other party is afraid of him.
If the man wasn't worried that beating the younger one would attract the older one, he wouldn't be so easy to talk to.
“That’s it, easy to talk about?” Do you have a wrong perception of yourself?
Shen Yao supported her chin and watched the fun with the system. It was mainly because the system figured out the relationship between the giant monster chasing them outside the city and the city lord, so Shen Yao reluctantly spent energy to use the screen projection function to check the city lord's mansion.
As a result, after hearing these arrogant words, Shen Yao exhaled, smiled and concluded that this person would not live long.
"Isn't he a man of great luck?" You should know that this kind of grassroots harem style was a trend in novels for a while.
"No matter how great your luck is, it cannot compare to the four children born to the host," the system said in a serious tone, and then began to congratulate the host on completing their mission.
What a bargain.
It doesn’t matter if the road is tortuous, as long as the result is good.
The system didn't care what happened in the City Lord's Mansion, but instead pulled Shen Yao to study the next world.
Shen Yao smiled, "No hurry, let's deal with the matter at hand first."
What's happening right now?
The system got stuck, so he quietly left and stopped talking.
Another day passed, and Shen Yao took Liu Mingjin out shopping as usual, while Liu Jingyan stayed in the inn to rest.
However, this time when she went out, Shen Yao discovered something very interesting: she was being followed.
The person who did it thought he was very capable, but his actions were too rough, so Shen Yao easily noticed it the moment the other party looked at him.
Even Liu Mingjin felt something and kept looking back.
"Be good, look ahead and buy whatever you like. We will leave Yangcheng early tomorrow morning," and there will be no place to replenish supplies by then.
Shen Yao reached out and held the back of Liu Mingjin's head. Her words were gentle but her methods were firm. She easily controlled the child's desire to turn around.
Liu Mingjin: ...
Liu Mingjin scratched his head, looked up at the items on the tray, and pointed at them casually.
Shen Yao chuckled and asked the shop owner to help pack the things and send them to the East City Inn along with the other items she bought.
