Happiness System

Chapter 349: True Gold's Escape 11

The sky was completely dark, and only when the oil lamps and torches were lit did Meng Yuxi return to the carriage to rest.

In fact, it is not safe in the wild at night, as mutant beasts love to come out and walk at night.

But with such a mobile army of hundreds of thousands, even the most powerful beasts could only peek in the dark.

Meng Yuxi still followed her normal schedule. After sitting in the carriage for a while, she asked the maid to move her things away because she was going to sleep!

"Xiao Xia, where is Brother Jin?"

Meng Yuxi felt a little strange when she didn't see Wen Yujin when she got up. Didn't they say they had two days of rest? It was only dawn now.

Xiao Xia helped her up and wrung out a wet towel to wash her face, "Madam, the master has been summoned back to work.

A quarter of an hour ago, the pioneers came back and said that the prefect and governor of Hucheng had abandoned the city and fled, and all the people left were gone...

I'm afraid there might be a plague over there, and the higher-ups seem to be discussing taking a detour."

Meng Yuxi paused in wiping her face, then continued the action.

She thought it was just a break!

After washing her face and feeling more refreshed, she opened her small box and took out a few small bottles. "The porcelain white one is for horses and livestock, and the one with flowers is for us.

All water will then need to be re-boiled before drinking, just add two drops to a pot of water..."

After leaving Mo City, they saw many dead bodies on the roadside along the way, including their own refugee group, where about a hundred people died of heat stroke every day.

Those who have some status and are cared about by others will have their bodies burned to ashes and taken away; those who have low status are simply buried in a shallow pit.

Not to mention the military guards who were accustomed to seeing life and death, even the women in the mansion had gotten used to it and were no longer afraid of the corpses.

But I am still worried, the smell along the way is really hard to describe!

It was especially terrible for the people at the back.

Meng Yuxi sighed, ate some breakfast absentmindedly, and went to the Meng family before the sun rose.

After giving the medicine to her uncle, she went to her father's place. Although the two families lived next to each other, she had not been here for two or three days.

"Daddy, why have you lost so much weight?"

The father and his two sons were already thin, and now they looked like skinny refugees.

Meng Yiyun smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because of the bitter summer that my appetite isn't very good."

"It's not a small amount, Miss San, it's because Master San and his family gave all the food to the younger generation in the family!"

The servant who was taking care of Meng Yiyun and his sons immediately jumped out and knelt on the ground and said, "Miss San, Master San and the others are all hungry! I really can't persuade them!"

Although Meng Shixu is already twelve years old, he has not experienced much and his mind is still young.

Originally, his father didn't allow him to speak, and he had to hold it in for fear that his father would be unhappy. Now that the servant had already complained, he didn't have to pretend anymore. He immediately looked at Meng Yuxi eagerly and said, "Sister, I'm not full, I'm hungry!"

Meng Yiyun's face froze. He and his eldest son had tried their best to give more food to their youngest son, but they didn't expect that the child would still starve.

He thought that the three of them stayed in the carriage all day without moving and wasting time...

Meng Yuxi looked at the Wen family's iconic dishes placed on the carriage and asked solemnly, "Xiao Xia, who is responsible for delivering the food to my father? Is the quantity reduced?"

Xiao Xia quickly glanced at the empty dishes and lowered her head and replied, "Madam, Xiao Qiu personally delivers the meals every day, and there is no increase or decrease."

Meng Yuxi glanced coldly at the servant, "Go and invite the master over!"

"Yes!" The servant immediately got up and ran towards the men of the Meng family.

The Meng family's carriages were not close to each other, but were quite close. Besides, there was nothing to do at the moment, so Meng Yihui and the old man came over in less than two minutes.

"Xi'er, what's going on? Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

Meng Yihui thought Meng Yuxi was going to bring some benefits to the Meng family again, so he walked closer with a smile.

Meng Yuxi asked directly with a cold face: "Grandfather, uncle, before Xier got married, she prepared at least three months of fine food for father and brother.

Before leaving for Tianyuan City, the Wen Family sent back at least two months' worth of food for them. During this time, my father and brother did not enjoy the food of the Meng Family, right?"

"Yes! Is there any problem? Xier is short of food?" Meng Yihui then realized that something was wrong.

Meng Yuxi sneered, "Oh, the Wen family is not short of food for the time being! Why didn't grandpa and uncle talk to Xier about the Meng family's food shortage? Why did they order the younger generation to come and snatch food from my father and brother? Isn't it enough to let my father starve to death once?"

Meng Yihui's face was not looking good either. "What nonsense are you talking about, Xier? When will we starve your father and brother to death..."

He was about to argue, but when he saw his brother and nephew's cheekbones bulging out frighteningly from hunger, his words got stuck in his throat.

The old man frowned and looked at the servant, "How do you serve the Third Master? Tell me, what's going on!"

The servant knelt down and repeated his words again, this time in more detail, pointing out the names of the young masters and young ladies who came to beg for food one by one.

The one who took the lead in ordering to eat was Meng Yuying from the fourth room. She brought her eight-year-old sister Meng Yufei, and several nephews and nieces who were two or three years old.

Meng Yuying kept saying that her mother was driven away because of her third sister Meng Yuxi. They were young and had no mother to protect them, so they didn't have enough to eat every day...

Meng Yiyun was kindhearted and loved the younger generation. He also knew that his family had donated some food to several of the in-laws, so he thought that the family food supply was running out and he started to live frugally, really thinking that the children had no food to eat.

The father and his two sons shared one portion of food and gave the other two portions to the children.

With a group of children coming here every day, it was impossible for no one in the Meng family to notice. But since the children went home and ate normally, they didn’t think much about it.

In fact, it’s just that I didn’t put enough effort into it!

Have they ever thought about what would happen if the servants of the Wen family pretended to obey their orders but actually failed to deliver food to the third room?

"I'm worried about my father and brother being here, I'm taking them back right now!"

Meng Yuxi didn't want to know how they were going to deal with the juniors. It would be nothing more than a scolding and a couple of meals.

If you meddle too much, you will be overstepping the boundaries and being unreasonable!

The carriage originally belonged to the Wen family, so there was no problem for her to send someone back directly!

The servant serving the third room was quite smart. When he saw Meng Yuxi raise her foot, he immediately got up from the ground, led the horse, lowered his head and drove the carriage to the Wen family in front.

Meng Yihui didn't have the face to stop them. They really ignored the third room because they relied on their niece to take care of her father and brother.

But he felt bad for being humiliated by his niece, so he took it out on the culprit, her father Meng Yisheng.

Girls avoid their husbands when they grow up. Since his two daughters were five years old, Meng Yisheng seldom saw them and left them to his wife to teach.

When he heard what his daughter had done, his face turned red and he kicked his eldest daughter Meng Yuying to the ground and scolded her. However, his daughter acted as if she had done nothing wrong and even blamed him for sending her mother away.

Meng Yisheng was so angry that he felt dizzy. After he recovered, he immediately went to his eldest brother to withdraw food for the two sisters for half a month.

Since you like their mother so much and since you think your maternal family is so good, then go and feel the love of the Hua family!

Over there, Meng Yuxi brought people to the Wen family's place and ignored them. She asked them to prepare new food for the father and his two sons, and then she climbed back into her carriage.

She had never seen such a foolish person!

I was also angry that I had fed my sincerity to the dog, but in return, he just kept asking for more!

"Madam, the higher-ups have ordered us to make preparations here and set off at 3 p.m."

After reading for a while, Meng Yuxi calmed down. She glanced at Wen Cheng who came to report, "Is there any news from my husband?"

Wen Cheng lowered his head and said, "The master has taken people to explore the way."

Since there was a plague in Lake City, they naturally couldn't go any further, so they had to make new plans to bypass Lake City. The large group of people before were afraid that they would be infected with the plague, so they naturally couldn't continue to let them walk in front to explore the way, so they selected two more people to lead the team and go out separately.

The cavalry will be there this time and will be back before 3 p.m.

Meng Yuxi frowned. The gradually rising temperature made her a little irritated. She used her supernatural power to inform the nearby forest and said, "Choose half of the people to come out, and we will go into the forest to avoid the heat! The rest of you can set up the tents and rest!"

Wen Cheng also knew that the hostess was a person of propriety, so he did not object and immediately ordered someone to escort her into the woods.

Meng Yuxi naturally would not act willfully, so she walked about a thousand meters inside. This distance was enough for those with bad intentions to not dare to act rashly, and it also isolated her from the unpleasant smells at the edge of the forest, and it was also cool and comfortable!

After observing the surroundings, Meng Yuxi grew some vegetables and also produced a few watermelons.

Then she lay on the hammock, eating melon and reading a book. It was so comfortable!

She decided that she would do the same thing as long as the environment was right!

Wen Cheng led his men to pick all the natural plants and shared a large watermelon with his brothers. Seeing that the hostess had no intention of looking for natural plants, he ordered them to rest on the spot.

With Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu watching over them, they didn't need to arrange anyone to give warnings.

Wen Cheng and his friends slept for a few hours. At noon, they sent a few people out to hunt some mutant beasts. They brought them down the mountain to the kitchen to cook, while another group of brothers went up the mountain to rest and relax.

People from other families observed the Wen family and followed suit.

The forest suddenly became much more lively.

The people who had explored the way came back in the afternoon and saw the royal side dismantling their tents, so the people on the mountain hurried down to join them.

After Lake City, water resources began to become scarce and tense.

There are few rivers in the north, and we finally found one, but it dried up!

The banana trees on the mountain have been deliberately cut down and destroyed, and it is not easy to find water on the mountain.

Now everyone has placed their hopes on the Sand City ahead...

Before reaching Sand City, the Meng family came to borrow water.

Meng Yuxi smiled coldly, "No! Did you tell them when we were storing water? We have more horses and need more water, but they are the first to run out of water before we are out of water?"

Speaking of Sand City, who knows what the situation is in Sand City?

If there is water, they naturally know to get it, so why would they need to return it?

I originally thought that the Meng family knew that Zhan Qian had a broad perspective, but I didn't expect him to be so narrow-minded.

Knowing that water is becoming increasingly scarce, they still allow women to bathe in water...

Oh, they deserve the water shortage!

Meng Yuxi would never be so stupid as to pay for the women of the Meng family!
