Happiness System
Chapter 345: True Gold's Escape 7
When the Meng family went to look for the ferry, there were already people queuing at Guandu.
They immediately gave up the free ferry and went to the knight to ask for the price.
Because the Meng family was decisive enough and the knight was righteous, they took away 100 kilograms of natural food from them, including their people and their carriages.
The Meng family paid fifty kilograms of radishes and fifty kilograms of sweet potatoes with a painful heart.
The Wen family found another knight and collected 100 kilograms of natural food.
The other families were still hesitating and struggling, but seeing that no one else wanted to take the private ferry ride for the time being, the two groups of knights borrowed boats from other knights and sent the Wen and Meng families over first.
The Meng family's in-laws were informed by someone else, but they didn't say much, only that they planned to travel by land and reach Mocheng District as soon as possible to rest for two days.
Grandmother Meng, Second Aunt Meng, and the maternal family of Sister-in-law Meng hesitated for a moment, and when the Meng family was almost done loading the boat, they went up to queue up to inquire about the price.
My aunt's clan asked about the price and then retreated to Guandu to queue up. The other clansmen were still watching and planning to follow the main group.
The smuggling of the knights should be organized by the same organization, and they quickly dispatched the other three families to be sent over as well.
Gradually, the procession at the official ferry was too slow and the queue was too long, so any family with some ability began to line up on the private ferry side.
The Wen and Meng families and other relatives who followed behind went ashore, said hello, and immediately rushed forward at full speed.
As they walked, the royal ship also began to sail forward.
In less than two quarters of an hour, clouds began to form in the sky, from white to gray to black, layer after layer...
"Wen Cheng, stop ahead and take out the clothes in bag number one of car number two and let everyone wear them! First, feed the horses with fodder, and remind the other families that we will be moving forward in the rain. And this potion, give it to my father and have them add water to take it..."
After giving instructions, Meng Yuxi instructed the maidservant beside her, "Go and ask the steward of the kitchen to distribute the dry food for everyone at noon. After eating, we will set off immediately..."
Wen Cheng rode his horse to arrange his own affairs first, then delivered the medicine to the Meng family, and then rode to the other families to inform them.
The Yan, Zhang, and Zhuang families who followed were all families that were more receptive to advice and had good execution capabilities. Before setting off, they also spent a lot of money to get a batch of waterproof cloth to turn into raincoats.
I’ve only been on the trip for a few days and I’ve already put the things to use!
The women of the Meng family were a little uneasy. "What is Xier doing? It's going to rain heavily, shouldn't you find a place to take shelter? Why are you in such a hurry?"
To be honest, not all things of the royal family can be transported by carriages. Some things also rely on manpower, and the soldiers and guards are mostly infantry. The speed was really slow before. Riding in a carriage is actually quite comfortable except for being boring.
The speed suddenly increased and it was hard for people to bear the shock!
Meng's grandmother, Yan, looked up at them and said, "Xi'er grew up in the market and often goes with the men to become the Chosen One. She knows more about the way of survival than us. We should just stay here and not cause trouble!"
Aunt Meng Hua quickly hugged her mother-in-law's arm and comforted her, "Mom, we didn't mean any harm, we just felt a little nervous because of the shaking of the car!"
Yan shook her head at them and said, "This trip is not for sightseeing, but to escape from famine and find a new continent. Life is good now, and we are still in our Daqi territory. Your Majesty's majesty can still shock people...
Waiting for another country...
I told you early in the morning to be prepared to endure hardships. The master's words cannot be false. Today's celestial phenomena are not right, and there will be more days of bad weather in the future!
Xier's decision was not wrong. What matters most to us now is to catch up with the royal family. Don't let the desire for temporary comfort delay our journey!"
The carriage fell silent for a moment. They knew, of course, that they would suffer if they left Tianyuan City, but as women in the inner house, they had limited experience and how could they have known that life could be so hard?
And it sounds like this means that the days we are living now cannot be called bitter?
For a moment, everyone felt sad and had no time to pay attention to the changes in the weather.
The sky was gloomy for a long time, but no rain fell.
The convoy consisting of five families rushed on the road for an hour, and there was not even a sound of thunder, let alone rain.
Everyone thought that God was playing a joke and that the cloud would disappear soon, so the tension was relieved a lot.
Especially at the Heihe ferry, the people who were already extremely anxious looked at those who were in a hurry to hand in food and take the private ferry with mockery on their faces, and said all kinds of harsh words.
"Tell Wen Cheng to stop and rest for a quarter of an hour to feed the horses. Take this opportunity to prepare some clean water sources."
Meng Yuxi used her special powers to sense that the water molecules were moving abnormally, and this rainstorm would definitely fall within half an hour.
No one had ever seen such unusual weather, and no one had any objection to running for more than an hour in the stuffy raincoats.
The team stopped and the guards drank a lot of water, and no one chose to take off their raincoats.
A quarter of an hour later, the horn sounded and the team continued to move forward.
It was also at this time that the wind and clouds rose and thunder roared...
The rainstorm is late but it is coming!
The sky seemed to be pierced, pouring rain down in buckets, making the already dim vision even more difficult.
Thunder roared and the horses became a little agitated, so the guards had to dismount and lead the horses forward.
So the progress became even slower!
In the rain, we can't stop at the foot of the mountain for fear of landslides and mudslides; we can't stop at the low-lying plains for fear of water gathering into a lake...
The journey was extremely difficult for several hours in the rain, and when the convoy reached a higher plain, it slowly stopped.
"Madam, the horses can't move anymore. We must rest first!"
Wen Cheng stood in front of the carriage, his face washed by the rain and looking as pale as a ghost.
"Scout the surroundings and set up camp for the night if it's suitable!"
Meng Yuxi glanced at the hourglass. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening. Not to mention the guards, even the horses were almost exhausted.
Releasing his supernatural powers, he realized that this place was indeed a good place to spend the night. In metaphysics terms, this was a very auspicious direction!
She instructed the maid, "Go find Commander Cheng and use the things from cars 5 and 6 to set up camp tonight. Set up the kitchen first and ask the cook to make a pot of hot soup and add some ginseng to it to warm everyone up."
"Yes, ma'am."
The maid put on a raincoat and rushed into the rain.
The two maids that Wen Yujin found for her were specially trained by the Wen family, so he didn't feel sorry for ordering them around in this kind of weather.
Although there is only one master in the Wen family, Meng Yuxi, there are nearly fifty guards and servants in total.
The tent was set up in a short while.
Meng Yuxi looked at the horse that was exhausted and gasping for breath on the ground, then looked at the guard who was tired and leaning on the supply cart to rest. She was silent for a moment and then waved to call Wen Cheng over.
"Feed each horse a handful of hay from Cart 9, and share some with the other families. Increase tonight's meals by 30%. If they are still not full, add more! Don't mistreat our brothers!"
"Thank you ma'am for your consideration!"
Wen Cheng's expression finally relaxed a little.
In fact, these brothers are okay, they have all been trained. It’s just the ones at the back who may be lagging behind!
After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, Meng Yuxi didn't look well and was extremely tired!
After the meal, her expression did not relax. She twirled her fingers like a Taoist priest. After a while, she sighed, "The temperature may drop sharply in the second half of the night. Let everyone know to prepare for it!"
The maid was confused. The master didn't say that the lady could tell fortunes, right?
She felt the hot and stuffy air. Would it really cool her down?
Even if you have doubts in your heart, you still have to do it.
Maybe her lady is really capable of that. A few hours ago, wasn't it her who asked to take a private ferry across the river?
They had just crossed the river and the weather changed!
The weather must have been really bad today, as the heavy rain continued for several hours without stopping.
Looking at the grass that had turned into a stream under her feet, Meng Yuxi thought for more than ten seconds before gritting her teeth and jumping down.
She was wearing a special waterproof cover, so she walked unsteadily, but she didn't fall down because of the support of her maid.
After walking around the tent twice, she put on her raincoat and went to the Meng family.
"Daddy, are you okay?"
Meng Yuxi saw that Meng Yiyun looked unwell, so she reached out and felt his pulse.
Meng Yiyun smiled, "It just looks a little bad, but it's actually okay! Uncle Six of the Yan family just came to see him, and he's fine."
Meng Shixu, who was lying on the side, looked at her aggrievedly, "Sister, why can't you see Xiaoxu? Xiaoxu is feeling uncomfortable!"
Meng Shixu was twelve years old. Due to poor health and lack of nutrition, he was as thin and small as an eight or nine-year-old child.
"What's wrong with Xiao Xu? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Meng Yuxi felt a little pity for him. She reached out and touched his head and took his pulse. He was indeed much weaker.
Meng Yiyun described his symptoms, "I am not used to the local climate, and I feel carsick."
He had no idea his youngest son was carsick until the speed increased!
"I have some medicine over there. I'll have someone bring it back later! Have you had dinner?"
Meng Yuxi also took the opportunity to check the pulse of her eldest brother, who was quiet and had little presence. He said he was fine and should be able to survive the next two days.
Meng Yiyun shook his head. "Maybe it will be delivered soon. We have some dry food, so we are not very hungry!"
There are many women in the Meng family, and there are many things to do. The meals for the father and his two sons have to be cooked separately, so it is naturally slower.
"Xiao Xia, go back and cook a pot of noodles and bring it over!"
There is some chaos at the Meng family's place. It will probably take more than half an hour to prepare the meal for the father and his son!
Looking at his younger son's eager look, Meng Yiyun couldn't bear to refuse.
Forget it, they are father and daughter, sister and brother!
Meng Yuxi talked to them for a while, told them to take out their winter clothes and quilts before going to bed, and then went back.
The women of the Meng family were extremely disappointed to see Meng Yuxi leave just like that. They had wanted their niece to bring two or three children with her!
The ground was too wet and there was water flowing, so it was impossible to set up a tent. There were too many of them, so the carriage couldn't be opened at night!
The old lady didn't allow them to disturb the Wen family, and the group of women in the family all felt aggrieved.
Fortunately, Meng Yuxi didn’t know their little thoughts, otherwise she would have probably refused.
The noodles she cooked for the Meng father and son were made with dehydrated vegetables and dried animal meat. The noodles were made from wheat that she had grown, dried, and then finely ground three or four times before processing. She only made fifty kilograms in total.
