Happiness System
Chapter 355: True Gold's Escape 17
After taking care of Cen Lei's injuries, Meng Yuxi washed her hands before walking to the bedside.
"Qingqing!" Luo Hui looked at her daughter and burst into tears before she could say anything.
Meng Yuxi sat next to her and patted her hands, "Mom, it's okay, it will be fine!"
"You have some internal injuries, and you haven't eaten for a long time, so don't eat too much. I can only give you some porridge first. When you feel better, I will have someone make you a good meal..."
"Mother doesn't care about these things!" Luo Hui wiped away her tears, "Qingqing, you are married? Is the Meng family not treating you well? Is your husband treating you well?"
Meng Yuxi was silent for a moment, "My biological mother doesn't like me, but my father divorced her, so I have no relationship with her anymore, and it doesn't matter whether we are good or not.
My father, brother and my husband are all fine..."
Luo Hui was very weak, so Meng Yuxi didn't say much to her.
It was not very convenient to have several injured men in this room, so Meng Yuxi asked Xiaoxia to help them to the next room to rest.
There were two teenage girls with Luo Hui and the others. Luo Hui had no external injuries, so the two girls could take care of her.
Naturally, Cen Lei and the other housekeepers also made all the arrangements.
I have to say that being the mistress Meng Yuxi is not an easy job at all.
"Xier, I heard that you picked up a few people yesterday?"
Wen Yujin knew at the first moment that his wife had taken a few refugees back home, but he had other errands to attend to and was not able to return home until the next day.
Meng Yuxi poured him a glass of water and then said, "Well, they are my adoptive mother, adoptive brother, and old neighbors. There are a few I don't know either. They seem to be friends of Brother Cen's brother."
After briefly explaining the relationship, she took some clean clothes and asked her husband to wash.
Wen Yujin didn't mind taking care of a few more people. He was indeed very tired at the moment. He took his clothes and went to take a shower. After coming back, he ate something and went to rest.
Meng Yuxi didn't run around either. Now the entire Wu County was literally shrouded in fog.
This fog is harmful to the human body, so all of them stayed in the house with doors and windows closed.
The fog is really severe. Even the rising sun cannot shine through. Everything is hazy.
Meng Yuxi wanted to read a book to kill time, but she had no way to do it. She played with some vegetable seeds to make them grow for a while, but she felt bored. She yawned, lay down on the bed, curled up in Wen Yujin's arms, and fell asleep.
The thick fog did not dissipate until the afternoon.
Except for the court doctor who checked on the wounded from time to time, everyone else in the Wen family lay in bed to rest, trying to slow down their breathing as much as possible.
Compared to the quietness of the Wen family, other places are much more noisy.
The thick fog mixed with miasma not only hurts people's lungs, but also contains violent factors.
Some people are ignorant and open the doors and windows to let the miasma flow freely. Breathing too much of this gas not only makes people feel chest tightness but also extremely irritable.
The originally white vision was enough to make people uneasy, and with the stimulation of this miasma, countless people became powder kegs that could explode at any moment!
The more excited you are, the more miasma you inhale into your body, and the greater the impact on your body. Quarrels and fights are just minor matters...
During this refuge, more than 90% of the families lost their supplies, and most of the small families and refugees that followed were attacked by animals. The number of people killed was more than the number of people who died from heat stroke in the past two months.
But what no one knew was that this unusually thick fog actually prevented the outbreak of a plague.
We stayed in the foggy county for three full days. On the afternoon of the fourth day, the thick fog and miasma suddenly dissipated without any warning.
At this moment, everyone seemed to have suddenly woken up from their confusion. Seeing the bodies lying beside them emitting a foul smell, most of them broke down.
They finally escaped to Wu County, but were infected by the miasma which aroused the greatest evil in their hearts, and they killed nearly 10,000 people.
The army of more than 200,000 soldiers set out from Tianyuan City in a mighty force, but nearly half of their men were lost before they reached the border town of Mocheng.
This was undoubtedly a huge blow to most people, and everyone couldn't help but feel confused. Could they really survive to the New World?
Meng Yuxi was just thinking about what to eat for lunch when Xiaoqiu hurried in. "Madam, the higher-ups have ordered us to leave Wucheng immediately!"
Meng Yuxi looked at her in confusion, "Oh? Didn't they say that many people were injured? And why don't we explore the way first after the fog has cleared?"
Xiao Qiu lowered her head, "I don't know, there are many more dead people in the city, maybe they are afraid of plague."
Just now she went out to inquire about the news and found out how most of the people died. It was so horrible. Those families were smiling and looking united and friendly, but when they were infected by the miasma, they became red-eyed and beat each other to death as if they had killed their fathers and enemies.
Fortunately, the lady had foresight and asked them to separate themselves as much as possible, let them live in the same room and not talk to each other, and just lie quietly pretending to be corpses.
"Have you run out of the previous potion?"
Meng Yuxi frowned. Once the fog dissipated, the temperature indeed rose by another ten degrees.
Before, the temperature was always over 50 degrees, but it dropped to around 20 degrees during those days of heavy fog. Now it's around 30 degrees which is quite comfortable.
"It's all used up! Just now on my way back, the people from the kitchen came to me and said that it was foggy these past few days and they found that drinking clean water mixed with medicine would make the body feel better, so they took the initiative to drop a little more in every day..."
Xiaoqiu replied without stopping her work and quickly packed her bags.
"There are two bottles in my small medicine box. Take them out and add double the amount of potion this time. Let both the man and the horse drink it before leaving!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
After everything was packed up, everyone drank some water and prepared to leave the city.
"Qingqing, we, we..."
Luo Hui nervously squeezed the bag in her hand, not knowing what to do.
Don't be fooled by her usual aggressive behavior, it's just because she is forced by life. In fact, she doesn't have much opinion of her own and her son is the one who makes the decisions at home.
My son is seriously injured and has only been recovering for two days...
Meng Yuxi turned her head and looked at her, "Mom, what's the matter? Is there no room in the carriage? Then throw the uninjured boy and girl to the truck to bask in the sun."
Luo Hui was stunned for a moment before she reacted, "Ah? You, you want to take us with you?"
"Mom, don't you want to go with me?" Meng Yuxi asked back.
Luo Hui was a little embarrassed. "Then, then the son-in-law, no, no, it's Master Wen. Wouldn't he have any objections?"
Meng Yuxi was amused by her, "Mom, who calls their son-in-law "grandfather"?"
"Ah? No, you are not..." Luo Hui blushed. Her daughter was not her biological daughter, so how could she dare to recognize the tall and mighty son-in-law!
Meng Yuxi didn't know what she was struggling with, and she didn't have time to care about it, so she urged, "Mom, get on the carriage quickly. We have to leave the city and wait!"
"Oh, okay! Okay!" Luo Hui was confused for a moment, and when she saw her son had been helped into a carriage, she immediately trotted over.
Originally they thought that the Wen family would be the latecomers because they had been delayed for some time while boiling water, but when they arrived outside the city, the convoy outside was sparse and most of the families had not arrived yet.
After waiting for a while, I saw a number of white carriages rushing over.
Even the Meng family arrived late, but fortunately they did not lose.
The Meng family members were in low spirits, and one could tell at a glance that they had not had a good time in the past few days.
Past experience taught Meng Yuxi not to meddle in other people's business! She only took a glance and got into the carriage to continue waiting.
After waiting for another half an hour, the royal people finally came out, and then the convoy slowly followed.
In fact, it was already afternoon, and it would be dark in more than an hour. There were no villages or towns to stay in, so it was not suitable to hurry on.
But this is a large group activity, and these people have no say.
This time they were probably really trying to catch up, so they sped up a lot. Even though it was so dangerous at night, they did not choose a wide open space to camp. Instead, they continued to move forward after resting for half an hour.
It was not until near noon the next day that the team entered Yao County and slowly stopped in a small town.
Although it is called a small town, it is actually not very big, with only about two hundred households.
As soon as they heard that they would stay here for two nights, Wen Cheng immediately rushed in on horseback with his brothers.
With so many people and so little space, most people will definitely live in tents.
We haven't left Eagle City yet. There is no safety guarantee living in the wild. It's better to live in a house!
Wen Cheng and his friends grabbed two houses based on the principle of proximity. It wasn't because they were greedy, but the house was not big and two rooms could only barely fit them.
They reacted quickly, and people from other families were no less slow, so it was not a bad thing for them to be able to grab two rooms.
What matters is that there are no dead bodies in their houses, they are all 'clean'!
"Are you going to pick herbs later? Tell the people in the kitchen to not worry about other things and cook the food first. I'll go with you later!"
Meng Yuxi looked at the house and had no complaints. It was much better than living in a tent!
Wen Cheng and Wen Qing were frightened to death by her and quickly shook their heads, "No, ma'am! There are too many ferocious beasts here, and they are very active even during the day. It's not safe!"
Meng Yuxi squinted at them, "Don't think that just because this place is called Medicine City, it means there are medicinal herbs everywhere. If you don't take me with you, you might come back empty-handed!"
Wen Cheng cried and begged for mercy, "Madam, please let us go. The master will beat us to death if he knows we brought you up the mountain!"
"Then aren't you afraid that I will beat you to death?" Meng Yuxi snorted and waved her hands, "Go find someone to ask your master, it seems that my words are useless!"
Wen Cheng wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked Wen Qing to go find the master himself.
Wen Yujin didn't treat his wife as a delicate little white flower, he just said: "Protect the lady!"
Wen Qing ran back happily, and after lunch he became the number one personal bodyguard.
Sure enough, the periphery had already been searched by the vanguard team. The other families had nothing to eat, so they just distributed some dry food and brought people to search the area for the second time.
When Meng Yuxi and the others came out after dinner, the periphery had already been searched three, four or five times. Without her golden finger's hint, the Wen family's guards really didn't find a single hair.
Wen Cheng was also a flexible person, and immediately came over with a shameless face, "Madam, could you please give me some advice?"
