Quick Wear: The Bad Girl is Reborn and No Longer Confused

Chapter 182: Separation and Escape 20

Xu Tao covered her face and went in to deliver some food. Seeing the little girls inside, she felt a little sorry for them, so she found some clothes that had never been worn in the space and threw them in.

After thinking about it, he left a box of silver and a few bags of sweet potatoes at the door so that they would find them when they left.

Xujiacunxiu rested for two days before setting out again. Everyone had a smile on their face. With this money, they would not be worried about not being able to buy land when they arrived at the destination.

There was a mountain that was so dangerous that they would encounter poisonous snakes every few steps. One person in the team died. That person should have been Xu Yaozu, but when facing danger, he grabbed his beloved mother to resist.

"I...I, wuwuwu, mother, why are you so stupid? Why did you come out to shield your son?"

Tears dripped from the corners of Wu Hua's eyes. She said nothing and waited quietly for death to come.

Doctor Zhou shook his head, he was powerless to treat this poison.

Old man Li felt heartbroken as he watched his wife leave quietly. He saw that it was Yao Zu's people, but what was the use if the person had already left.

Now that the dynasty has changed, Yaozu might be able to pass the imperial examination and gain fame in his new place, so he cannot be branded as a matricide.

Xu Yaozu felt relieved when he saw that his father didn't say anything. As long as his father didn't say anything, no one would know.

Xu Daniu sneered. He just wanted to see how his father died at the hands of his good son.

Xu Sanniu's eyes were red and he controlled his trembling hands.

"Master."

Fang Zhi ignored the gazes of others and held her husband tightly. After all, she was her own mother, so it was impossible not to be sad.

"Let's go down the mountain."

There is no path ahead that is suitable for people to walk on. If we force our way through and encounter poisonous snakes, the consequences will be unbearable.

The villagers followed without objection, moving slowly down the mountain. A group of young men, armed with long branches, would occasionally swat at the grass.

As for livestock, they were killed for meat not long ago. There was no other way, as people were struggling to survive, so how could they afford to keep them?

After reaching the foot of the mountain safely, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they ran into a group of refugees.

They thought they had suffered enough, but they didn't expect the person opposite them to look haggard, with a dead look in his eyes. If it wasn't still daylight, they would have suspected that they had seen something they shouldn't have seen.

"Mom, I'm scared."

The children huddled in their parents' arms, and the looks from that group of people were really creepy.

"Auntie, auntie, please give us some food and water. My child can't live happily. Please be kind." A woman knelt on the ground, holding her dying child and knocking her head loudly.

Some aunts couldn't bear to watch it, but they turned their faces away when they remembered the instructions of the village chief.

"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll kill you."

Xu Chang drove her away with a big knife, but the woman remained unmoved until the knife was about to fall on her body, then she fled in panic.

The refugees around who were watching closely shifted their gaze and moved forward without hesitation.

Xu Chang breathed a sigh of relief. He was sure that if someone had been soft-hearted just now, the team would have been in chaos.

The formation changed, with the elderly, women, and children in the middle, the young people around the middle carrying the luggage, and the men who had experienced things around the outside. The whole team moved forward at full speed, traveling by moonlight, and only stopped to rest when they could no longer see anyone in front, behind, or around.

Xia Ming received instructions and went with two black steamed buns to inquire about the news. Xu Tao wanted to go with him but her speed was obviously a burden. She trained silently and she also wanted to learn how to climb walls and fly over rooftops.

"My daughter, take a rest. You are so tired from traveling so fast." Fang Zhi felt sorry for her daughter who was doing horse stance. Suddenly, she heard her daughter-in-law retching beside her and hurried over.

"Chun Ya, what's wrong with you? Mommy will go get Doctor Zhou for you."

"Mom, I'm fine. I was just a little scared today." Xu Chunya's face was pale as she pulled the person. She would be fine after a rest.

Xu Tao had already run to get a doctor, and by the way, she called her elder brother who was on patrol and asked him to go back and take care of his sister-in-law.

When Xu Yang heard that his wife was not feeling well, he found a man to take her place and hurried back.

"It's okay, I'm just four months pregnant."

"What???" The third wife of the Xu family stared at her belly in shock.

"Doctor Zhou, my wife will be alright, right? Can we keep the child?"

Xu Yang wanted to slap himself so much that he didn't even notice his wife's abnormality.

Fang Zhi looked at her eldest daughter-in-law's shaky body and slapped her hard, "You little bastard, what are you talking about? I know you are concerned about Chunya's health, but if I don't know, I would think you are not looking forward to the baby in your belly."

Xu Yang's eyes turned red with anxiety. He loved the child so much, but this child came at the wrong time.

"Brother Yang, I want to keep the child." Xu Chunya held back her tears. It was all her fault for being negligent. If anything happened to the child, she would not live anymore.

Xu Tao calculated the date and found that she should have become pregnant a month before fleeing the famine. Fortunately, she would feed some fruits to her family from time to time.

"Alright, the child is a blessing. He's still alive despite all the hard work. Let's take good care of Chunya from now on. Doctor Zhou, would you like to get some herbs to nourish her?"

"No, just eat something good." Medicine is always poisonous, and he didn't bring any pregnancy-maintaining medicine. Then he sighed. In this day and age, where could he get good food?

The Xu family gave Dr. Zhou a bowl of millet. He stopped trying to refuse and thought about his grandson who was getting thinner and thinner, so he accepted it with a thick face.

Xu Tao took out a red date and put it directly into her sister-in-law's mouth. Xu Chunya felt the delicious taste in his mouth and looked at his sister-in-law with gratitude.

Fang Zhi pulled her eldest son aside to educate him. The child was already here, so who would he show such a donkey face to if he didn't comfort his wife?

"Mom, I'm worried about my wife."

"Now you're worried, what were you doing before? I'll have the second brother go on patrol. You stay with Chunya. Remember, don't make that deadpan face again, or I'll give you a slap in the face."

Xu Yang nodded, ran back and took his wife to talk to each other from the heart.

Xu Tao left tactfully, and Xia Ming came back just in time, so he followed her to listen to the current situation.

Village chief Xu listened to the situation outside and frowned so hard that he could kill a fly.

Today, the emperor is old and dissolute, the three princes of the East, West and North Continents are ready to recruit soldiers in the name of clearing the court, foreign enemies have also begun to attack the border, and coupled with the drought, the people have long been living in misery.

Prince Jin of Nanzhou, on the other hand, stayed peacefully in his own fiefdom and had not made any moves to win him over to the other princes.

Xu Tao opened her confused almond eyes. In these troubled times, all princes should have ambitions. Why didn't she fear Prince Jin but instead tried to win him over?

Xu Chang explained, "Prince Jin is the emperor's sixth son. He was born with six fingers and should have died. It was his mother, Concubine Jiang, who desperately tried to stop him and protect him, causing a big incident. Furthermore, General Jiang voluntarily handed over his amulet, using his many years of merit to save him."

"Uncle Chang, how do you know so clearly?"

Xu Chang remained silent, because he was a soldier of General Jiang, and he was promoted to the rank of a thousand households. After General Jiang resigned and returned home, they, his personal soldiers, also retired and hid themselves in various places.
