Happiness System

They finally managed to get out of Eagle City before being engulfed by thick fog and miasma.

When we arrived at Mocheng, the temperature suddenly soared, probably to over 50 degrees. It was already past six in the afternoon. If it was noon, wouldn't it be at least ten or eight degrees higher?

The horses ran for almost the entire day without much rest, and suddenly arrived at a dry and hot place. They were tired and thirsty, and soon one after another they fell down, foaming at the mouth.

The convoy slowly stopped, and the Wen family immediately fetched water and fodder to feed the horses.

"Madam, the horses can't move anymore. It's still about two hours from here to the nearest town. The official said we should rest for an hour before continuing on our journey."

Xiaoxia poured some water for her master to wipe her face, and she and Xiaoqiu also washed their faces with the water. Finally, the water was not wasted and was used to feed the horses.

"Ask the kitchen to prepare a good meal for everyone, and don't be too frugal with water."

Meng Yuxi couldn't stand the weather and kept waving the fan. It was really hot and stuffy, like a big oven!

Not long ago, my body felt sticky due to the fog, but now it feels like it is covered with mud and cracked by the sun.

I just feel so awkward and uncomfortable!

Xiao Xia was a little conflicted about the mistress' generosity. She said with a bitter face, "Madam, it's even hotter here than in Sand City. I'm afraid it will be even harder to find water. We should save some water."

Meng Yuxi waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about the water source."

It won’t be long before they even leave the country and it will snow and the temperature will drop, entering a period of quick freezing.

You weren't even bothered to drink the water I gave you!

Xiao Xia thought that her master was confident that he could find water, so she said nothing more and jumped off the carriage to make arrangements.

The sun had not yet set, and Meng Yuxi did not go down to bask in the sun. She leaned lazily against the wall of the car, fanning herself.

Cen Lei was able to get out of bed now. His body was very strong. Despite the bumpy journey and the lack of supplements and medicine, he had already recovered 50%.

After learning about the current situation from the Wen family guards, he walked over to Meng Yuxi and said directly, "Qingqing, we may need to hold you back for a while, but we will leave when we reach Mocheng.

We will definitely pay you and the Wen family back as long as we are alive and well after we reach the New World!"

Meng Yuxi looked at him and asked, "Have you decided where to go?"

Cen Lei was silent for a while before he said, "We had a team of more than a thousand people before, but we were dispersed before we reached Yingcheng. Later, due to various reasons, apart from those who had died, only a few of us were left.

But our team has agreed to meet up in Mocheng, and we will follow the official then..."

"It's good that you have a plan. If you can't find anyone, when your injuries are healed, you can ask Brother Jin to introduce you to the army."

Meng Yuxi really didn't plan to keep supporting these people forever. She was not a saint!

When the original owner returned to the Meng family, the Meng family gave him a buyout money. At that time, his adoptive mother was sick, and it was the Meng family who paid for the medical expenses and saved her life.

She saved their lives again. Not to mention the emotional aspects, she has already repaid the Cen family for their kindness in raising her.

In addition, after Meng Yiyun and his sons arrived in Mocheng, she also planned to let them return to the Meng family.

Now the father and his two sons have recovered a lot, and Meng Yiyun and Meng Shijin have also learned some medical skills, which are enough for them to make a living.

Cen Lei had been at odds with this selfish and overbearing sister since he was a child. After chatting for a few sentences, he felt awkward and then lowered his head and left silently.

Meng Yuxi thought about it and thought, damn, bad people’s marriages will be struck by lightning!

The original owner had ruined other people's marriages more than once. Since Cen Lei was fifteen years old, Luo Hui had started to find a partner for him. The original owner, a ten-year-old girl, had repeatedly ruined the relationship, resulting in no one interested in Cen Lei.

When the original owner was fourteen years old, she was simply a troublesome person. With such a difficult sister-in-law, no one dared to be a matchmaker for Cen Lei.

Only Cen Lei's good brother's sister didn't care and wanted to marry Cen Lei despite her parents' opposition...

Unfortunately, the good sister-in-law was ruined by the original owner. The woman later married far away, and Cen Lei and his good brother became enemies.

Later, Cen Lei gave up the idea of ​​starting a family.

When the original owner and the Meng family met each other the following year, the Meng family actually had no idea that their children should not be left alone.

In addition, given the situation of the third house, they actually gave the original owner some compensation to allow her to continue staying in the Cen family.

At that time, Cen Lei flatly refused, took the compensation and moved to another place with his mother who had just recovered from illness.

The original owner had really done something evil, forcing her elder brother and adoptive mother who had raised her to the point where they were almost depressed and suicidal. But when she returned to the Meng family, she was so cowardly that she was crying all day long because of her biological mother and the fake daughter.

My head hurts!

No wonder no one finds anything strange about her. Her secrets must have been uncovered long ago!

The system is becoming less and less reliable. Such important memories have been blurred!

decline!

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy or feeling unwell?"

When Wen Yujin came back, he saw his wife looked desperate, so he reached out and pinched her tender face playfully.

Meng Yuxi no longer thought he was smelly, and threw herself into his arms and sighed, "It's hot and dry, so uncomfortable!"

Wen Yujin rubbed her head and said, "Believe me, you will miss the present days soon!"

Huh?

There are still nearly ten days left before the weather changes. Is this Heavenly Master really that powerful?

That shouldn’t be the case, otherwise why wasn’t the heavy rain in Heihe calculated?

She blinked and looked at Wen Yujin, "What do you mean?"

Wen Yujin looked profound, "The secret cannot be revealed!"

In fact, it was not a prediction made by some divine master, but a person with special powers sensed that the weather would change drastically.

Of course, these cannot be said openly, otherwise it will cause panic.

While Meng Yuxi was puzzled, Wen Yujin finished his meal and hurried back to do his work, not feeling that he was being unkind at all.

After resting for an hour, the convoy continued to rush forward.

When they arrived at the town, they learned that they would only stay for three hours. They were too lazy to look for a house or even to set up a tent, and they just camped outside the town.

The Wen family did the same thing. They had lived in a cramped environment in the previous town, so they decided to choose a spacious place to rest more comfortably.

The most important thing is that there are fewer wild animals here. With so many people gathered here, most animals dare not approach.

The biggest advantage of living in the wild is that when the caravan sets off in the morning, Meng Yuxi no longer needs to be pulled up by anyone, she can lie comfortably in the carriage and continue to sleep.

This time they did not go too far, but entered Lou County after an hour and a half.

Because the temperature was too high, even though they were only one day's drive away from Mo City, they had to change their travel time to the evening.

This time, because the sun was at its highest during the day, they had to go into the city to find a house.

Meng Yuxi took a look at the shabby Lou County and sighed, "Just find a clean house, don't worry about anything else, and don't clean it."

The so-called cleanliness means that there are no dead bodies and no corpse smell in the house.

I estimate that I will only stay for six or seven hours, just to find a tile to block the sun.

At a time like this, forget about your normal biological clock.

They found a suitable house and cooked some simple food. After eating, they threw the straw mats in the middle of the room and lay down on them to sleep.

Meng Yuxi is also quite tough now. She is no different from other people. She just lies down and sleeps after eating.

Although she could sleep anytime she wanted while sitting in the carriage all day, it was hot and bumpy, and it was not as comfortable as sleeping on the floor!

When the horn sounded again, a group of people got up tacitly, rolled up the mats, and drove the carriage forward.

Nothing went wrong along the way, and they avoided the hottest hours the next day, and finally arrived in Mocheng near midnight.

"Madam, the road ahead is blocked!"

"what happened?"

Meng Yuxi looked forward. Didn’t the royal family’s son already pass by?

Wen Cheng's mouth twitched, and she replied, "Madam, this is a roadblock set up by the border troops. There are two roads ahead, one leading into the city, and the other leading to the shantytown where the border troops' families live.

General Ji led the border guards to clean up Mo City. Except for the royal family who could enter the city for free, everyone else had to pay some hard work fees.

Those who are unwilling to pay can choose to go to the shantytowns, where there are no roadblocks."

"General Ji is so smart, his ancestors must have been in business!" Meng Yuxi was a little speechless, "How is this 'hardship fee' calculated? Per head?"

Wen Cheng was amused by the mistress' serious joke, "Madam, the price is based on the house, just like the price of buying and selling a house. There is a drawing with the price clearly marked over there. Madam, do you want to choose it yourself?"

Meng Yuxi had a headache. "You and the housekeeper can go and make the reservation. If it's not too outrageous, try to choose a better house. We may have to live here for half a month."

Just then Meng Shibai walked over, and Wen Cheng hooked her arm around his neck and walked forward.

Xiaoqiu loved to join in the fun, so after reporting, she followed and went to the front.

In less than a quarter of an hour, she came back and listed the prices of various houses, and also said which family had paid grain and reserved a house, and which family had tried to bargain but failed and was almost beaten by the border soldiers...

Meng Yuxi was thoughtful, "This price seems to be tailor-made for people like us. It seems that it has been figured out before we knew it!

The government is really powerful!

I just don’t know if they will charge me protection fee after I pay the room fee?”

Every step is stuck at their bottom line, and they really can't compete with the government in terms of tricks!

After a while, Wen Cheng and the housekeeper came back with a look of disgust on their faces, "Madam, there is no water in the city! The only spring in Mo City is controlled by the border troops. If you want water, you need to exchange it for food!"

He really has a keen eye for food!

As the housekeeper said this, he sighed and went to get the food and pay the bill.

They have just decided on a house. If they change their mind, they will have to move to the shantytown and pay ten more kilograms of food to change houses!

Meng Shibai didn't dare to decide at all. He picked the location, memorized the price, and immediately ran back to discuss it with his grandfather.
