Happiness System
Chapter 20: The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Scholar-President (9)
"Enemy attack! Guards, prepare!"
Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from the front, followed by the sound of rapid gongs. The carriage stopped abruptly, and soon there was the sound of weapons clashing, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Sir, please get down quickly and find a place to hide!" The driver reacted quickly. When he saw something was wrong, he jumped down and opened the door.
Afterwards, someone from the escort team came to notify all the people in the accompanying carriages to get off and gather together. The enemy was coming in large numbers and with great force, and the caravan could not allocate too many people to protect them. They had to rely on themselves at this critical moment!
Mu Jingheng had already carried Qin Yunxi off the carriage when the coachman reminded him. He did not follow the guards' instructions to the designated place. Instead, he quickly followed Qin Yunxi's instructions and ran into the woods nearby to find a place to hide when no one was paying attention to them. Yinbao and Mudaner followed closely behind them.
The driver was a smart man, and when he saw that Mu Jingheng seemed very experienced, he immediately followed him.
By the time they had hidden in a recess, the battle over there had intensified. Even though Mu Jingheng held Qin Yunxi in his arms and covered her ears tightly, she could still hear the sounds of cold weapons colliding, horses neighing, screams and cries.
The battle was fierce and chaotic!
Qin Yunxi's face was frighteningly pale. Born in a peaceful era and country, this was the first time for her to witness such a situation. It was also the first time she was so close to death. The shock was not great!
Mu Jingheng noticed that his wife's hands and feet were cold. He looked down at her pale face and his heart tightened. But in this situation, he could only hold her tighter.
Mudan was also trembling with fear, but his sister and brother-in-law had no time to take care of him, so he could only lean on Yinbao tightly.
Every second of the waiting time was torture. I didn’t know how much time had passed before the noise gradually subsided, leaving only groans, cries, and yelling…
The driver quietly leaned over and looked out for a while, then he got up happily and said, "We won! The caravan won!"
Mu Jingheng did not take them out immediately. Instead, he waited for a long time and waited until the situation outside calmed down a little before he carried Qin Yunxi out.
How to talk about the scene? Qin Yunxi took a look and struggled to get off the ground, pushed Mu Jingheng away and vomited aside...
"Be good and close your eyes!" After she finished vomiting, Mu Jingheng put his hands on her eyes and then picked her up horizontally again.
Fortunately, their horses and carriages were not damaged. Mu Jingheng found the location of the carriage and walked over without looking around.
The captain of the caravan escort team passed by and couldn't help but take a second look at them. This group, without any injuries and without any noise, was unique among the accompanying crowd!
Soon the caravan notified that they would set off again in a quarter of an hour. As the cause of the attack on the caravan had not yet been determined, no one was allowed to leave the team, and anyone who violated the rules would bear the consequences at their own risk!
The caravan quickly accommodated the wounded, reorganized the team and continued to move forward. Perhaps out of fear that the criminals would make a comeback, they moved even faster this time.
"My lady, hold on a little longer. At this speed, we will be able to get out of Yanchuan in another three or four quarters of an hour. When we reach Yuanling, it will be mostly plains. The caravan guards have suffered heavy casualties, so they will definitely stop to rest." Mu Jingheng sighed.
I’m afraid that all the cultivation my wife has undergone during this period will be wasted!
Whether or not they can report to the provincial school in time is secondary this time. I am afraid that they will have difficulty escaping if the situation is not clarified. I just hope that the next caravan stop will be able to find a doctor for my wife.
"Yeah." Qin Yunxi was not in a good mood. He responded softly and said nothing more. The scene just now was really too shocking!
Yinbao and Mudaner also hugged each other and trembled. They had only been to Qinghe Town a few times before. The bloodiest scenes they had seen in the village were fights with bloody heads and villagers getting scratched by wild beasts when they went up the mountain...
The bloody scene and the horrific scene of torn limbs just now made them feel sick and nauseous, and they were even more frightened. If the driver hadn't held them back, they would have collapsed to the ground on the spot...
Anyway, it’s enough to give me a long nightmare!
The carriage drove for nearly half a quarter of an hour before stopping in a barren and desolate place. The main thing was that the grass within a mile of the view was malnourished, and there was not even a mound of earth taller than a person...
The sun was already hanging low in the sky, and there was no sign of a village ahead, which meant they would have to spend the night here!
They could think of it, and so could the other people who were accompanying them, so some of them tried to leave the caravan and move on.
The result, of course, was that the caravan was suppressed by force!
The biggest reason they stopped here must be to prevent people from leaving their sight to investigate the truth. Once they enter the town, local officials will intervene and they will not be able to control the people. What if the real culprit of this accident is one of the people accompanying them?
However, the caravan was not unreasonable. They also made it clear that if the truth was not relevant to them, they would give everyone an explanation.
What explanation was there? It was nothing more than a little financial compensation. However, those who accompanied them were all from small families, so it was already a very good ending!
When the situation outside calmed down, seeing that Qin Yunxi's complexion had not improved and she even had signs of fever, Mu Jingheng gave some instructions and jumped out of the carriage.
The small system trembled when it saw her about to die. Is the host going to die? No way? Is its luck so bad?
"Ding! Host! Host! Host?" the small system shouted anxiously.
The result, of course, was being kicked out!
The small system was like a headless fly, anxious outside the carriage. Finally, when it saw Mu Jingheng, it floated over.
"Ding! Host! Host! You are saved! The dream boy of thousands of girls has brought the doctor back, wow! He is so awesome, he said he can deal with trauma, he will use his labor to exchange for a doctor for you! Wow..."
Before Mu Jingheng came back, the small system floated back. If it had a recording function, I would really like to play it back for Qin Yunxi.
Sure enough, Mu Jingheng came back with a doctor soon. The doctor's medical skills were pretty good, but the resources here were limited and he couldn't give her any medicine. Fortunately, with the experience of his last trip, Mu Jingheng also took his wife's health into consideration and went to the pharmacy to get a few sets of Tiger Balm medicine packs before leaving. Now they are being used!
Seeing that his wife's condition was better than he had imagined, Mu Jingheng was still worried but helpless. He gave a brief explanation and hurriedly followed the doctor.
"00, next time I encounter a robber and my throat is cut, will I return to the original world?" Qin Yunxi thought to herself that I was still very happy. At least I didn't have to worry about my life.
"Oh, host, it's like this. In principle, we will return to the real world. But according to the current progress, the host may die suddenly when returning to the real world, which is the legendary death from overwork!" The little system cried, no way? Another unreliable host? It has a miserable life!
"In principle? And what about sudden death? Is it you who did this? Explain clearly!" Damn it! Does that mean she's not going to hang around here anymore and will die right after she returns?
What good life system? I'm afraid it's a life-taking system!
"Ding, host, in fact, you were almost dying when you bound to 00. Host, think back whether you had difficulty breathing at that time..." The small system almost cried. The host actually doubted it. Its survival was too difficult!
"Shut up! If you say that after dying here, I have to die again when I go back? What's the point of having this crappy thing of yours! You want a good life and do missions? Are you crazy?" The sooner she dies, the sooner she will be reborn! Why tie her up to do the mission!
Did he die twice or from shock? I'm so angry!
"Ding, host, we are not some junk, we are really useful! Right now the task bar is too low. When the host completes the task and accumulates enough points, he will not die! The higher the points, the longer the host can live when he returns to the real world..." The small system talked endlessly and painted a big picture.
"So, after all this talk, how are points calculated? How do we check the progress of a task?" Qin Yunxi perked up and took out the facial controller that he had forgotten for a long time and fiddled with it.
"Ding, host, neither 00 nor the host has the authority to know the score. The points will be displayed after the mission in this plane is completed. As for the task bar, there is none. The host just needs to live happily for a long time..." The small system felt a little guilty as it spoke.
"... There is nothing, I know nothing, it is indeed rubbish! I know it is a huge pit!" Qin Yunxi really didn't have the energy to think about it anymore, and was afraid that he would be so angry that he would die...
Forget it, let’s just stay alive for now!
Mu Jingheng came back late at night, exhausted. There was no time to be bothered in the wilderness, so he changed his clothes and lay down beside Qin Yunxi to rest.
As for Yinbao, Mudaner and the coachman, they could only lie down on the ground next to the carriage with their quilts.
The caravan had already sent people out to seek help and they were very safe except that they could not leave the designated area. In addition, the temperature at night was not too low, so the situation was not too bad for them.
After Mu Jingheng came back, he stayed by Qin Yunxi's side to take care of her. He never went out again, and there was no sign of dissatisfaction or regret on his face.
"Jingheng, it looks like we won't be able to make it to the provincial school. What a pity that you worked so hard to get third place... Could it be that God feels sorry for my money and asked you to stay at home to take care of me?"
Qin Yunxi was probably stimulated too much and it worked out to be a positive thing. After drinking a bowl of medicine, she miraculously got better. Her body was not affected at all. After a night's rest, she was full of energy and even had the energy to make jokes.
"Books are like gold, and my wife is like jade. If it is as you said, wouldn't it be wonderful for me to have both of them in my hands?" Mu Jingheng raised his head from the book and looked at her with a smile.
Qin Yunxi also laughed: "Isn't it that my wife is so plain that I can't help but sigh, and only the book is so great that I can't help but indulge in it... Sad! Sad! Sad! God is so unfair!"
As he said this, he pretended to be sad and looked up at the sky as if he was about to cry.
Dear wife? It’s not like she hasn’t looked in the mirror before. When she first came, she was so scared that she thought she saw a ghost. After that, she didn’t want to look in the mirror anymore. As long as she didn’t look in the mirror, she would still be the conceited little beauty of the 21st century!
To be honest, the original owner's appearance after being sick for half a year was really scary. Even if he recovered a little during this period, he wouldn't look much better.
Does he have a unique taste?
Mu Jingheng suddenly remembered the time when she was so scared that she threw the mirror away saying there was a ghost. After that, she was unwilling to look in the mirror again and suddenly couldn't continue reading the book.
He smiled, rolled up the book and tapped Qin Yunxi's head gently, saying, "Don't be naughty! Madam, why don't you look in the mirror again? The word Wuyan should become a compliment! If this prefectural school is not meant for you, you can only accept it calmly. If Madam likes the prefectural city, we will stay in it. If Madam doesn't like it, we will go back to Qingteng."
"Huh? I actually feel comforted!" Qin Yunxi touched her face. She almost cried because of the ugliness that time. She had forgotten that the original owner's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law wanted to sell her to an old man as a concubine. She must be quite pretty!
Yinbao and Mudaner sat on the ground and watched the couple talking and laughing to each other, which really overturned their previous stereotypes about the identity of husband and wife.
