The fake daughter of a book, the villain who was humiliated ascended the throne

We traveled thirty miles in one breath during the day, half of which was mountainous road.

Unlike the previous day, we walked on the official road.

As a result, everyone was exhausted.

It was late at night and everyone in the camp went to bed early.

There was only a team of about ten guards left to stand guard at night.

Shuxin was not used to being crowded in a tent with so many people, so she and Tao took her second brother's daughter, three-year-old Tao Luoyao, to sleep on the ox cart.

Shu Xin was an orphan in her previous life. She struggled for a living all day long, so she had a light sleep and would wake up at the slightest noise.

In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by a noise.

In the darkness, she suddenly opened her eyes and listened carefully to the movements outside.

Under a tree not far away, the cow she bought was snorting restlessly and making loud noises from time to time.

Shuxin felt something was wrong, and she sat up suddenly.

Her movement immediately woke up Tao who was sleeping on the other side.

"Xin'er, what's wrong?"

Tao asked dazedly.

"It's okay, go to sleep. I'll go add some fodder to the cows."

Shu Xin said this as she picked up the cloak beside her, opened the car door, and was about to get out.

"Don't go. I'll go. That's strange. Before I went to bed, I specifically told your second brother to add grass to the cow's feed. Did your second brother forget?"

As Tao said this, she climbed out of the quilt and was about to put on her clothes and get up.

But he was stopped by Shuxin.

"Mom, you don't have to go. I'll go. If there's anything else, I'll call you."

As she spoke, Tao Luoyao turned over and murmured a few times.

She realized that there was no one around her, and she pretended to sit up and burst into tears.

Tao quickly picked her up and patted her softly to comfort her.

She couldn't bother to insist any longer and could only whisper instructions to Shuxin.

"Then go and take a look first. If anything happens, just call me loudly."

Shu Xin nodded, pulled her cloak closer and got off the ox cart.

Shu Xin got down from the ground, only to find that the entire camp was in darkness, with only a campfire a little further away.

Apparently, that's where the officers are on duty.

Calculating the time, it was already the second half of the night.

If calculated according to the time of the previous life, it was around two o'clock in the middle of the night.

This is the perfect time for a good sleep.

What's more, for those who have walked so much during the day.

At this time, there was no noise in the camp, and it seemed that everyone was asleep.

The officers who were supposed to be patrolling around the camp became lazy and just gathered around the fire to warm themselves.

It was late summer and we were at the foot of Yuxing Mountain, at the border between Yuzhou and Hezhou.

Because it is in the mountains, even though it is late summer, at night it is no longer as hot as during the day, and it is even a little cold.

In the past, the officers were used to taking this route when escorting exiled prisoners.

Therefore, at this point in time, the officers relaxed their vigilance.

Five or six officers dozed off by the fire.

The servants' campfire was on the north side, while Shuxin and her friends' tent was on the south side, backed by a hill.

At this time, Shu Xin used the ox cart to hide her body, raised her head and looked around, and saw clearly countless green eyes shining on the hill.

Those eyes...

It's a pack of wolves!

When Shuxin realized what was happening, her hair stood on end.

She didn't even bother to check on her cow and went back to the ox cart.

She didn't dare shout loudly, for fear of alarming the wolves and making them come down the mountain early.

She gritted her teeth to calm herself down, tiptoed onto the ox cart, and whispered to wake up Tao.

Afraid that Tao would scream, she put her hands on her mouth.

When Tao heard that wolves were surrounding them, she was so scared that she was about to scream, but Shuxin covered her mouth with her hands.

It took a long time for Tao to calm down. She pried Shuxin's hands apart and gasped for breath.

"Xin'er, is the wolf really here?"

Tao asked with a trembling voice.

In the dark night, Shuxin nodded.

With the help of moonlight, Tao saw Shuxin's actions clearly and her heart skipped a beat.

"Mom, go and inform everyone quickly. I'll go tell Brother Du and the others the news."

Shu Xin didn't care about being afraid and quickly instructed Tao, who was about to refuse.

It's so dangerous outside now, why is Shuxin running around?

She didn't want to take risks.

"The situation is unclear right now. It's very dangerous outside. Don't go. I'll go get your father."

"It's too late, mother, just do as I say!"

Shu Xin said something and turned around and got out of the car.

Tao was unable to hold her back, so she could only remind Shuxin to be careful. Then she turned around, picked up Tao Luoyao, got out of the car and went to the tent to call for help.

Soon, everyone in the Tao family was awakened.

Everyone was confused and complained continuously.

Especially Liu.

She had always been at odds with Tao, and was woken up in the middle of the night, making her very angry.

"She woke us up in the middle of the night. Is Tao Yunniang crazy?"

Liu retorted directly.

"Sister-in-law, you are such a fool. It's the middle of the night. Are you planning to take advantage of the officers sleeping and escape with so many of us?"

Yu Anquan muttered softly.

Although he spoke in a low voice, because it was night, Mrs. Tao had already told everyone in the Tao family not to make loud noises when she woke them up.

Therefore, everyone heard Yu Anquan's words clearly.

Yu Ansheng was just woken up. After knowing that there was a wolf, he learned that Shu Xin had gone out to report the news, and he became very worried.

He asked Old Man Tao to take charge and calm everyone down first.

He and Tao hurried to find Shuxin.

When Old Man Tao heard that a wolf was coming, he was already very frightened.

However, he is old and was born as a traveling doctor. When he was young, he often traveled far and wide and was knowledgeable.

So, I calmed down quickly.

He promised Yu Ansheng that he would keep the Tao family stable.

Now seeing Liu yelling loudly and Yu Anquan talking nonsense and speculating about Tao's intentions, he became furious.

"Yu Er, stop talking nonsense! And you, Liu, if you want to die faster, you can make louder noises!"

When Old Man Tao was young, he was highly praised for his good medical skills, so he had a bad temper.

On weekdays, the Liu couple were a little afraid of this old man.

As a result, he was scolded by Old Man Tao and was so scared that he dared not keep silent.

The Tao brothers saw their grandfather's reaction and immediately realized that something was unusual.

They looked at each other, their expressions becoming a little serious.

Seeing that mother, father and Shuxin were all missing, I suddenly began to worry.

However, eldest brother Tao Zhiyi was not worried about Shuxin's safety, he was worried that Shuxin would cause trouble for the Tao family.

At this time Shu Xin ran quickly to the officers on duty and told them that a wolf had appeared on the southern hillside.

As a result, the officers didn't believe it at all.

"We have walked this road more than ten times if not a hundred times, and we have never encountered a wolf."

"Go away, go away, don't stay up all night to entertain us!"

Several officers scolded Shuxin, but because they had all accepted money from Shuxin, their attitude was not too bad.

Just let Shuxin go back to sleep quickly and stop hanging around here.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade them, Shu Xin wanted to go find Du Changchun.

He asked the officers which tent Du Changchun was in, but was refused.

"It's the middle of the night. If you don't go to bed, everyone else will have to go to bed. If we wake Captain Du up, we will definitely be punished."

"Go to bed quickly. If you continue to cause trouble, I will not be polite!"

Wu Zhiyong is also on duty today.

He was very upset with Shuxin because of what happened during the day.

Seeing that Shuxin was still making trouble and wanted to call Du Changchun, he became so angry that he yelled at her.
