Happiness System

Chapter 346: True Gold's Escape 8

Xiao Xia brought the noodles to them, and also gave them the medicated oil that Meng Yuxi had found to relieve motion sickness, as well as some fried flour.

After eating the noodles, Meng Yiyun and his two sons felt much better. They asked the servant to wash the dishes and send them back. They obediently took out their thick clothes and quilts.

The carriage wasn't spacious enough for the three of them, but it wasn't too crowded either.

The carriages and horses were prepared by the Wen family. The father and his two sons were all sick, so the men did not have any such petty thoughts.

In the middle of the night, the rain lightened a little, but the temperature dropped suddenly.

The maid of the Wen family woke up after hearing the noise and immediately spread out the quilt beside her to cover her master. The two of them also took a quilt and wrapped themselves together.

The guards outside also woke him up and asked him to change into thick clothes.

As for the other families, they always felt that if the temperature dropped by 10 or 8 degrees, they would not need thick clothes...

In short, it’s a mess!

The Wen family looked over there. They didn't laugh, but that didn't stop them from watching the show.

Meng Yuxi slept very well at night. When the temperature dropped in the middle of the night, the maid covered her with a thick quilt as soon as she felt a little cold. She slept even better in the second half of the night.

I woke up in the morning and looked at the hourglass and found that it was already seven o'clock and it was still dark.

When the two maids saw her lifting the carriage curtain, they turned around and asked her, "Madam, are you awake? Do you want to eat?"

Meng Yuxi nodded, observed the sky, and used her supernatural powers to sense it, "Notify everyone to set off at noon!"

Maybe they were really tired yesterday, or maybe it was too comfortable to sleep wrapped in a quilt at this temperature, the other masters were still motionless.

Now everyone has half an hour to have breakfast, and then another half an hour to dismantle the tent and pack up!

Meng Yuxi instructed that when she prepared meals for her in the future, she should also bring out the portions for the third branch of the Meng family, father and son.

She eats quite delicately, so it’s suitable for them to eat!

As for the others, that's it.

Too poor, can’t afford to support her!

Two quarters of an hour was barely enough for a meal, and the camps of the other families were in chaos again.

After finishing breakfast, Meng Yuxi took out a few small porcelain bottles and handed them to Xiaoxia. "Give one bottle to each of the other four families. This is for livestock. Use half a bucket of clean water and drop two drops into it. Feed each horse a few sips!"

This is used to replenish energy and increase resistance of animals. She extracted it from mutated plants in the forest.

Humans can use it, but there will be side effects.

If you accidentally ingest it, you will be full of energy but have nowhere to release it. You will probably be excited for a day or two, then exhausted and sleepy for a few days. You will be sore all over and need to rest for a few more days.

It’s much more powerful than stimulants!

After feeding the horses with potion, the Wen family began to tidy up and pack up their things, and then started to dismantle the awning.

The other families suddenly became anxious. They ate breakfast in a hurry and quickly packed up their things and dismantled their tents.

The road ahead was not smooth either. Many low-lying areas were flooded, so they often had to take detours. The road was soaked by rain and became extremely muddy, so everyone often had to get off and push the carts...

Fortunately, there were no accidents along the way. The journey that was supposed to take one and a half days took them three days. This was because the rain was much lighter on the third day, and the remaining section of the road was higher and not close to the ditch, so the progress was faster. Otherwise, it would have taken them another half day!

"Huh? Why is there no one?"

Hearing Mo Cheng's shout, Meng Yuxi lifted the car curtain and looked out, only to find that there was no one outside.

That shouldn't be the case. There are 100,000 soldiers from Tianyuan City alone, 30,000 of whom followed the emperor on the boat, and another 20,000 were road sweepers who set out two days earlier than them. Of the last 50,000, 30,000 crossed the Black River before Meng Yuxi and his men, and the remaining 20,000 were scattered around to form escort teams...

Logically speaking, there are 50,000 soldiers on horseback in front of them. It is impossible to arrange them all into Mo City. They should be stationed outside the city!

Wen Cheng rode his horse to investigate, "Madam, there is no sign of a garrison outside the city. How about we stop here for a while and I will send someone into the city to investigate?"

"Go ahead and see what the city is like and whether it's habitable!"

It was almost noon, so Meng Yuxi simply asked someone to set up an awning and prepare lunch first.

The other families saw that there was no danger and the rain had stopped, so the masters did not care about anything else. They put on shoe covers and supported each other to move around on the ground.

Meng Yuxi was able to hold herself back and still sat in the carriage, but with a medical book in her hand.

Those who went to investigate did not encounter any obstacles. At that moment everyone was busy fleeing the famine. There were many looters and the city was in chaos.

The prefect of Mo City had already run away!

Merchants, gentry and other big families with deep roots also ran away!

There are only some knights and civilians left in the city!

As for the royal family, no one saw it!

Meng Yuxi wondered if there was an accident this time, and the car failed to brake and failed to reach the shore and went downstream?

The five families together only have a few hundred people, and they are really afraid that the people inside will catch them in a trap.

Meng Yuxi didn't dare to go into the city and stay in a hotel, so she simply asked someone to go in and see if they could find some wooden boards or something, and then come back to process them to raise the ground to place the tent. They would then stay outside the city and wait!

The situation on the royal family's side is also hard to describe.

Wen Yujin did not get on the ship in his previous life, and it was thanks to his protection that the Meng family was able to get through this safely.

In this life, he was able to board the ship because of his outstanding performance. After the rain, he remembered his wife's suggestion and offered some suggestions, but his mortal enemy always contradicted him.

That person is good at flattering and speaking sweetly, and with his powerful background, he gained power, and then...

He used too much force and not only did he fail to reach the shore, but he also hit a cliff and almost capsized the boat. The royal family was so frightened that he almost committed suicide to apologize.

That guy wanted to push the blame onto Wen Yujin, but we are not fools. Not only did he make a big mistake on his mission, but he also tried to shirk responsibility. His Majesty dismissed him right away.

By the time they found a suitable place to dock, they had been washed away hundreds of miles.

That place was far away from their escape route, so after getting off the boat to rest, a large group of people had to return by land!

They said they would wait for the people behind for three days, but on the fourth day the royal family successfully arrived in Mo City!

Meng Yuxi and her friends did not wait for any royal family members that day, but they did wait for other families from Tianyuan City. These families were closely following them, but arrived in Mo City more than an hour later than them.

This team actually brought a group of soldier guards with them, and with the people from several families, there must be thousands of people in total.

Meng Yuxi made a prompt decision and asked Wen Cheng to go up and negotiate, and then they moved into the city together!

There were many restaurants and inns on the main street of Mo City. Out of consideration for the royal family, they did not choose the best inn, but instead chose several connected houses. No matter whether they were teahouses, wine shops or inns, two of them could be easily cleaned up in a few minutes.

The Wen family and the Meng family shared an inn, which had an average environment, ordinary but not damaged. There were beds in the rooms, the doors and windows were in good condition, and the roof did not leak.

Compared to sleeping in the wild a few days ago, this inn is very comfortable.

There was a well in the inn that could draw clean water. The women were so happy as they could finally take a comfortable bath!

After dinner, Meng Yuxi went to sit with Meng Yiyun again.

I used some hypnotic incense and acupuncture to give them some wood-related supernatural powers.

The father and his two sons woke up the next day and found that they felt much better. They thought their daughter (sister) had great medical skills!

They are fine, but the others are not so well!

Before, they had been holding on and not daring to get sick, but now that they had stopped and relaxed, most of the women in the family fell ill.

Fortunately, the symptoms were similar, so Meng Yuxi took a look and prescribed the same medicine for them.

Seeing that the old man and the old lady were in low spirits, he gave them some tonic pills and some incense to help them sleep.

Although they were all staying in the same inn, Meng Yuxi was exhausted after the trip.

"If anyone comes to see you, let Dr. Li see them!"

Doctor Li is the official physician of the Wen family. Mengyu only remembered this matter after he came back. This crime is so unjust!

"Madam, madam! The royal family has arrived!"

The people sent out by the Wen family met the royal family who came to investigate, as well as the pathfinders who had fallen behind for some unknown reason. After the three parties exchanged some ideas, they hurried back to report.

Meng Yuxi rolled up her sleeves as soon as she was happy. "Didn't Wen Qing and the others bring back a lot of animal meat? Let's go to the kitchen and make a delicious meal for Brother Jin!"

Not only did she take out all the best stuff that had been hidden in the bottom of the box, she also openly added her own private goods!

This operation made the children, who had already had dinner, scream with greed!

The last time I smelled such a fragrant scent was when my third sister (third aunt) was not married yet!

Not to mention the children, even the adults were not prepared, especially the old man and my great uncle and his sons. Twenty or thirty years ago, supplies were not so scarce. They also lived a good life and ate good food back then!

After waiting for a long time for his granddaughter to come and give him gifts, the old man was so greedy that he couldn't sleep and quietly drove his great-grandson out.

The child was less than four years old and didn’t understand anything. He just rushed to the kitchen following the smell.

"Aunt Xi, what delicious food are you making? You've made Yang'er drool!"

The child still had some foresight. He did not rush to the boiler, but rushed to Meng Yuxi, hugged her legs and started acting coquettishly.

"Aunt is cooking meat for your uncle!"

Meng Yuxi picked up a plate and took out a piece of the cooked vegetable to feed the child. When the meat in the pot was almost done, she asked someone to take out some more and cut it into two plates for her nephew to take back.

Meng Xiangyang pushed open the door with a bloated belly, "I'm back!"

The old man couldn't hide his smile, but he pretended to be embarrassed and said to the Wen family's entourage who sent the child back: "I was careless and let the child run away to disturb you! Why did you bring so much braised meat? The child was naughty and snatched the food of my grandson-in-law..."

The attendant respectfully placed the plates on the table and leaned forward to say, "Old Master, you are too kind. My wife likes the young master very much. These are all from my wife as a gift to you and the adults."

After the Wen family's followers left, the old man grinned like a child and immediately shouted, "Where's the wine Xier brewed for me? Find it for me quickly. It would be a pity not to drink a few sips of such delicious meat!"

The wine he was talking about was of course not real wine, but the fermented glutinous rice wine made by Meng Yuxi.
