Happiness System

Chapter 375: True Gold's Escape 37

Daqi's large army will rest in Shangdu for five days, which will be their longest rest in the South.

Almost all the things that needed to be purchased were ready, and Meng Yuxi did not waste any time. She pulled Wen Yujin out of the city and into the mountains, one to prepare medicine and the other to cut wood.

She is a bit of a slacker now. She was avoiding Wen Yujin before, but now she is urging him to give birth and collect things in front of him.

In fact, although it seems easy for Wen Yujin to chop down trees, it is actually very tiring. After all, he has to use his internal strength, which is somewhat a waste of his skills.

But she didn't dare take out her chainsaw, for fear that she would be burned as a monster.

Things that don’t belong to this world should not be displayed in public!

"Brother Jin, it's probably going to rain. Let's go back and ask the carpenter to make a few boats! Oh, no, I guess I have to go to the emperor first to ask for a blueprint..."

Meng Yuxi was also convinced. She really used her wood-related abilities to the fullest extent!

"You mean, the rain is heavier than in Fish City, and we can't travel by land?"

Wen Yujin was also convinced. They were supposed to set off north the day after tomorrow, and now they were telling him to prepare a boat?

Meng Yuxi nodded. "That's just my guess. You know, I'm just a half-baked person!"

Wen Yujin had a headache. "So let's just leave it at that for today and go back first?"

"Eat first and then go back!"

Meng Yuxi pulled him to sit down and took out two boxes of delicious pork chop rice from the space.

It's not that there is no natural poultry in this world, but they are rarer than natural food. Even the royal family cannot eat them whenever they want, so this lunch box is not too surprising.

Both lunch boxes were packed in large aluminum boxes. Meng Yuxi could only finish half of it, so Wen Yujin bought the rest.

Wen Yujin hurried back and saw that his wife had packed the lunch box. He squatted down, carried her on his back and ran down the mountain.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Meng Yuxi almost vomited!

After she calmed down and drank some water, she took out the things.

Wen Yujin blew the whistle to summon Dazhuang over, and placed the things on the horse's back. Seeing that Meng Yuxi looked a little pale, he hesitated, with a guilty look on his face, "Rest for a while before going back?"

Meng Yuxi shook her head, "Let's go back, but walk slowly!"

Wen Yujin nodded and carried her onto the horse.

After returning to the camp, he left half of the herbs for Wen Cheng and the others to deal with, and took the other half to Emperor Hongyuan. These things would have greater value in the hands of Emperor Hongyuan.

After hearing Wen Yujin's story about the rain and the preparations for shipbuilding, Emperor Hongyuan's expression did not change at all. Instead, he carefully looked at the herbs he brought and praised them a few times before asking, "Do you want to come back and take up your post?"

Wen Yujin shook his head without hesitation, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but my current job is more suitable for my life."

Emperor Hongyuan nodded imperceptibly, "Go down! Do whatever you want to do!"

"Yes!" Wen Yujin turned back halfway and said, "We seem to have seen natural food on the mountain just now."

He went straight back to the Wen family camp and took a team of people to cut down trees.

Wen Yujin is fast, but Guan Jia is even faster.

Just as the team was organized, a large group of people from the government side had already set off.

The location of the Shangdu camp was allocated according to the families in the alliance. When the Kangwang Mansion and the Lin family saw Wen Yujin coming back and preparing to leave, and saw the big move by the royal family, they quickly stopped Wen Yujin and asked, "What are you doing?"

Wen Yujin stopped and turned around and said, "My wife wants to go boating and take some people up the mountain to cut wood! Want to come together?"

"Okay, I'll be there soon! Then let my wife and sister-in-law compete in speed! We can also have a dragon boat race!"

If it was just about logging and shipbuilding, Wen Yujin would definitely not invite them to go with him.

Both families were very understanding. They heard the subtext and immediately went back to call for people.

It was only noon, and Meng Yuxi didn't bother him because she saw he was busy. He disliked the camp being too hot, so he took Xiaoxia and Xiaoqiu back to the city.

The next day, Wen Yujin came to pick her up and took her to another hill a little further away.

The operation was similar. He cut down trees first and let his wife harvest them first. Then Meng Yuxi gave birth to medicinal herbs and he went to harvest them, and then gave birth to food...

Before going down the mountain, the two of them secretly ate some delicious food, then sent Meng Yuxi back, and brought most of it back.

The large army did not stop in Shangdu to build ships because of the so-called prophecy. Everything went according to the previous arrangements.

The government only delivered the drawings that Wen Yujin wanted on the day of his departure. Fortunately, the Wen family had already made preparations. They arranged two carriages for the carpenters so that they could work on the road.

The Wen family did not have to worry about transportation capacity. In addition to the subordinates they recalled, they also bought more than 20 southern ponies along the way.

If it weren't for the problems with land and water transportation due to rain, Wen Yujin originally planned to buy another twenty or thirty horses in Shangdu.

But it doesn't matter now. There are a bunch of single strong guys below. It would be a waste if they don't use their strength!

Let them just be rickshaw pullers!

Meng Yuxi was still asleep when they set out in the middle of the night. When dismantling the tent, Wen Yujin carried her onto the horse. She turned over in a daze and fell asleep again.

When the sun rose at dawn, Wen Yujin got into the carriage to escape the heat.

Meng Yuxi had woken up early. When she saw him come in, she put down the medical book and said, "Have you informed my grandfather about the shipbuilding? Our two families are far away now, I forgot about it!"

"Although I forgot, I still worry about it! The day before yesterday, I asked Wen Cheng to go there in person, but I didn't care whether the Meng family took it seriously or not!"

Wen Yujin pinched her face, then took out his map and continued studying it.

Meng Yuxi also continued to pick up her medical book, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate! Let them go. If it doesn't work, we will wait until it rains to bring father and the others over!"

The large group continued to move forward. Now they already knew the Southern Country's methods of making money, so except for those who had shopping needs and would leave the group, they no longer stayed near towns.

The sun was shining brightly for five days in a row, but the Wen family still worked day and night to build the boat. The old carpenter and the carpenter father and son each brought a dozen apprentices, and even though the group worked around the clock, they could only build two boats.

This speed is already very fast, but everyone still feels a sense of urgency.

The two ships couldn't accommodate so many people and livestock!

On the day of the trip, the government had already sent out a message saying that it would rain in the future, and asked everyone who had the conditions to build some boats, and those who did not have the conditions to prepare wood.

There are quite a lot of people who don’t take it seriously, but who cares? Whoever doesn’t listen will suffer anyway!

The sixth day was still a sunny day that was so hot that it was killing me.

The sky turned cloudy in the afternoon of the seventh day, but there was no rain.

It drizzled on the morning of the eighth day. The drizzle was silent and moist, but those who did not believe it remained disdainful.

On the ninth day, the rain got heavier, but it did not cause any obstacles to our travel. Instead, the temperature dropped a bit, which was very comfortable!

There was no thunder or strong wind on the tenth day, but it rained heavily!

Those who didn't believe that they would need boats began to panic.

On the eleventh day, everyone got on the wooden boats and rafts. Although it was raining heavily, we were able to move forward faster.

Meng Yuxi was also speechless sitting on the boat. The rain was so heavy that they had to paddle forward while splashing water...

But this isn’t even the worst!

On the twelfth day, there were bursts of thunder and they could occasionally see trees burning from being struck by lightning. There was no way they could stay in the mountains!

So they could only row to the nearest town.

Hearing the crying that could not be covered up by the sound of thunder and rain, and seeing the southerners lying on the roof to avoid the water, everyone rowed the boat back to the original route in silence.

The most difficult thing to deal with in the rain was eating. Their small boat didn't even have a roof. They had originally put up a tarpaulin, but it became too rainy later and that was no longer possible.

Fortunately, the temperature is not too low, still around 30 degrees, otherwise more people would die from this flood!

After another three days, the rain finally stopped, but the water level still did not drop and they still had to travel by water.

The sky had been gloomy for several days in a row, and Xiao Qiu became depressed. "Madam, do you think it will rain again?"

Meng Yuxi used her supernatural powers to sense it, "It won't rain anymore, the sun will soon come out!"

Xiaoqiu let out an "oh" but her mood did not improve.

She used wood pulp to push away a swollen corpse. If the sun came out, would these things rot?

The water level should drop, right?

Doesn’t seem like a good thing?

Two days later, a cool breeze blew and the dark clouds in the sky were blown away...

The sun came out and the temperature rose by more than ten degrees.

The water level still did not drop, and the various corpses floating on the water began to emit a strange smell.

The only good thing was that the wind blew and their sails were put to good use. They finally didn't have to row as hard as they should, and they were able to go much faster.

By the next day, everyone had gotten used to the smell and could eat without batting an eyelid.

After walking for three days, the team finally stopped to rest and found that the mountains that were not affected by the flood were dry.

We have to stop, because we have no clean water and we can’t make a fire to cook on the boat!

"Finally it feels better!" Meng Yuxi sniffed the clothes on her body, "Ugh, they are all marinated!"

The large group would stay for two days, so they headed straight to the mountains.

After walking for more than two hours, they finally found a place with water.

Meng Yuxi scooped up the water and sniffed it to make sure there was no peculiar smell before saying, "Brother Jin, I want to wash my whole body in the bath!"

Wen Yujin took the rain cloth she held out and asked her, "Do you want to heat the water?"

Meng Yuxi quickly shook her head, "We can't light a fire here, or we'll set the forest on fire!"

After Wen Yujin pulled Jian Yi to the bathroom, the couple went in one after another and washed themselves with soap, put away the things that shouldn't be there, and Meng Yuxi took out two lunch boxes.

They are having chicken chop rice today!

"Finally, I can eat a normal meal!" I almost cried!

Although she really wanted to finish the whole box of food, her stomach wouldn't allow it, and in the end she still left half the box for Wen Yujin.

After eating, Wen Yujin took a short break and continued to work, while Meng Yuxi also continued to work hard to promote the growth of plants.

Sensing someone approaching, Meng Yuxi stopped collecting the things and directly asked Wen Yujin to call someone to transport them away.

At night they camped and rested in the mountains, and it was so smelly at the foot of the mountain!
