Happiness System

Meng Yuxi underestimated the power of the royal family. In fact, the Seventh Princess had learned the southern language quite well, and simple communication was no problem for her.

After coming out of the woods on the edge of the desert and walking for most of the day to a small town, they saw the native people of the southern country.

Similar to the description in the travel notes, people in the south have yellowish or darker skin and are generally not tall.

The materials here are not as abundant as those in the legend, but they are much better than Daqi. The people here are not as lazy as those in the legend, but it is true that they do things in a slow and disorganized manner.

Maybe because the resources here are good, nearly half of the southerners chose to stay. The others either fled with the king or followed the passing foreigners.

Wen Cheng and the others talked at cross purposes for a long time, but no one understood each other, so in the end they had no choice but to let the Seventh Princess go up and try.

Although the communication was not smooth, at least we got the connection.

The Seventh Princess came back with a bad look on her face. She said, "We may have gone the wrong way. It will take ten days to get to Fucheng from here!"

I don’t know how many days I had wasted on the road, and now there are so many more days to travel. I don’t know when I can catch up with the main force!

Wen Yujin frowned, talked with the Prince of Kang and the second son of Huai, then asked the Seventh Princess to continue to go out and negotiate with the local residents, and finally exchanged food for a simple map.

"Although it takes us ten days to get to Fucheng, it only takes thirteen days to get to the second stop, Yucheng! The distance from Fucheng to Yucheng is seven to ten days. To be safe, we'd better go directly to Fucheng!"

In addition to the map, Wen Yujin and the others even asked for the route.

No one had any objections. It was strange that when you were at the edge of the desert, unless you went into the dense forest, the temperature outside would be at least 40 degrees or above.

But the temperature gets lower the further you get to the center of the south. It's currently estimated to be around 30 degrees. Everyone is worried that the extreme cold is coming again. To be honest, they don't have much cold-weather supplies!

There is no winter in the south, and the last cold winter did not have much impact on this place. It is almost impossible to find cold-resistant supplies here.

So a group of people are eager to return to the main force!

"Brother Jin, I always feel that the weather is not right!"

During the break, Meng Yuxi pulled Wen Yujin aside and started muttering again.

Wen Yujin's expression changed slightly, "Is winter really coming?"

Meng Yuxi shook her head, "It's not winter, it's probably going to rain!"

Seeing that Wen Yujin breathed a sigh of relief and didn't seem to take it seriously, Meng Yuxi asked anxiously, "Have you forgotten that the Seventh Princess said that Fish City has another nickname called Water City?"

The South is a backward country as they say. Can you still count on its drainage system?

Wen Yujin's face changed. He still remembered the rainstorm in Heihe River, where thousands of lives were swallowed up in an instant.

The waters of the South Country are more developed than those of Daqi. If they really encounter a heavy rainstorm, they will be in trouble!

Fortunately, the rain didn’t come suddenly.

Fortunately, the current temperature is very suitable for traveling. Now, in addition to extending the travel time, they also have to race against time to process the ingredients.

If it wasn't difficult to transport, Meng Yuxi would have wanted someone to build a big ship to prepare it!

On the fifth day that Meng Yuxi predicted it would rain, the rain had not yet fallen, but everyone could no longer bear it.

The roads in the south are so bumpy, it’s really killing me!

The Seventh Princess was spoiled to begin with, and she was the first to stop. "No, we can't go on like this! Can't Madam Wen be more powerful than the Heavenly Master? We've been told it would rain for days, and there's no sign at all!"

She was not being unreasonable. The Crown Prince of Kang and the Second Son of Huai had both learned skills, and there were other guards, but no one could find any sign of rain.

She was really exhausted. She couldn't possibly die before the rain started, right?

Not only the seven princesses, but also Concubine Jing and several children suffered a lot.

With only a few horses, they could only squeeze into the carriage obediently, unable to stretch their legs. Unlike Meng Yuxi, when people got tired of staying in the carriage, they could go ride horses!

Meng Yuxi, who seemed quite comfortable in the eyes of others, was actually not having a good time either. She took a look at the map and checked the information she had collected over the past few days.

After going over the useful information in her mind, she said, "Starting tomorrow, take an extra 25 minutes' break at noon and half an hour at night!

You see, we are already here, and we will probably reach Fish City in two days."

Seeing that everyone seemed to want to fight for it a little longer, she added, "The extra hour at night can be used to look for supplies!"

"Ah? You might as well just give us a stab! How can you be so cruel! We have already shortened the journey of half a month by traveling day and night!

It's not raining, can't you relax a little?"

The Seventh Princess is now the replacement for women, children and young kids.

Meng Yuxi said seriously, "That won't do. If I kill you, the royal family will come after me! My life is precious!

The time was reduced by half, probably because the villagers in the small town used ox carts and mule carts to calculate time.

It’s a good thing that it’s not raining now. No matter which route we take in the remaining two days, we can’t avoid water sources...

It will definitely rain, and it will rain in the near future. We don’t know how many days the rain will last or how many days the flood will last, but we will be trapped for sure. What will we eat and drink then?

Now is not the time to be willful. We cannot just relax for the sake of a moment and ignore what will happen next.

If I hadn't had enough time and didn't have the talent in this area, I would have been thinking of collecting some wood to build a boat!"

Others: “???” Why didn’t you say you wanted to go to heaven!

Wen Yujin and Prince Kang smiled bitterly after hearing her words, "Maybe we will have to build our own boats in the future!"

After passing through two more countries, there is a sea in front.

By then, we will not only build ships, but also build big ships!

In private, Wen Yujin told Meng Yuxi about the next route, and Meng Yuxi was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"That is to say, after passing the South Country, there are two more countries behind, and then there is the sea. What is behind the sea and when we can reach the shore are all unknown."

Wen Yujin nodded, "If the new continent was so easy to find, Your Majesty would not have hesitated until the Luli Continent was about to collapse before leaving."

Meng Yu swallowed his saliva, "It takes time to build a ship, right? Are we going to stay on the last continent for a year or so?"

Don’t let the land collapse happen, that would be a joke!

"What are you thinking about! It is said that the last country is extremely short of supplies. We probably need to complete the collection of shipbuilding materials in the South Country and Zhou Country." Wen Yujin had a headache, feeling that his wife's brain was sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Meng Yuxi was about to say something but stopped herself. It is not easy to build a large sailing ship. It is not easy to collect all these woods, especially the transportation problem.

Now the supplies from the royal family and the military mostly rely on manpower...

Not everyone will be eligible to get on board by then, right?

Ordinary people finally reach the seaside, and then find out that this place with scarce resources is indeed their final destination. How desperate that would be!

Besides, anyone could be the one who gets left behind!

Maybe the leading people all looked unhappy, maybe they were scared, or maybe they were almost at Fish City and could grit their teeth and hold on. The Seventh Princess never complained of being tired again, and during breaks she would take the initiative to take the children with her to help prepare the food.

Perhaps taking into account the transportation problems caused by the rain, and the fact that they now have excess transportation capacity, the men would go into the woods during their rest time to select some suitable wood to cut down.

In the afternoon, Meng Yuxi was tired of sitting in the carriage, so she went to ride horses with Wen Yujin. She felt the moisture was heavier, and thinking of the two rains in Heihe and the desert, she felt a little anxious.

"Brother Jin, there are so many people in the royal family, and they also have to manage the military. Are they going to let us build our own ships, or sell us tickets at a sky-high price?"

Wen Yujin was silent for a moment before saying, "It's possible that it's what Xier is thinking!"

Meng Yuxi: “???” Pit! Huge pit!

The next day, when he saw his wife, his eyes were shining as he looked at the tree that was strong enough to build ships, and his face was full of desire.

Wen Yujin silently selected a few trees and put them away, then walked away silently.

Meng Yuxi: “…” Has something been exposed again?

This is not the point. The point is that this wood is so easy to cut?

She put away the wood, took out her machete, and slashed once, twice, three times...

Forget it, forgive her for overestimating her abilities, goodbye!

"Brother Jin, wait for me!"

Meng Yuxi took out two bunches of longan from the space and quickly chased after him.

Just now she saw the longan tree with branches full of fruits, but they were the sour and astringent mutated longan!

But it was convenient for her!

The couple quietly finished their sweet longan and returned to the team just in time to set off.

It happened to be a cloudy day, with the temperature over 20 degrees and windy. Meng Yuxi didn't want to go back to the carriage, so she simply rode the horse all afternoon and slept in Wen Yujin's arms.

The Seventh Princess looked out from the carriage and saw the sticky couple. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous. "At the beginning, everyone in Tianyuan City said that Major General Wen was a cold and serious person with bad luck. He was delayed for more than 20 years and no noble lady was willing to marry into the Wen family. But I didn't expect that he was considerate and doting on his wife. Madam Wen is really a treasure!"

Concubine Jing shook her head. "There are many people who only look at the surface and don't know the value of something. But I think the one who picked up the treasure might be Major General Wen."

She smiled and said, "Seventh Princess will understand when she gets married!"

The seventh princess curled her lips and said, "What? These adults are like that. They always speak half-heartedly and never make things clear. What should we understand after getting married?"

Maybe because it was cloudy, it got dark very quickly and everyone was feeling a little anxious.

The Southern Country is different from other countries. Many people stayed in this country and it still has administrative management.

If the city gates are closed, won't they be waiting outside?

It's getting dark now, and it might really rain. They don't have any protective gear right now, and if it really rains they will have to stay in the carriage and won't be able to move!

Fortunately, they arrived before the gates of Yucheng were closed!
