Wei Yunlan tried to push away the fog to see more clearly.

The white mist tightly surrounded the black object and did not move at all.

Should I wait for the fog to dissipate on its own? Or should I talk to my great-grandfather more often during the day so that he can come into my dreams at night and answer my questions?

Just as he was thinking, Cheng Yue'e came over holding little Jiarong, "Lan'er, you and mother take the car. The weather is good today, I want to walk around downstairs by myself first."

He said with a wink.

Wei Yunlan immediately understood, most likely because she had something to discuss away from others, so she nodded and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, if you feel tired, tell me and we can change."

After that, he walked towards the mule cart and got into the carriage. As expected, he saw his mother took out a simple hand-drawn geomancy map and said in a low voice, "Lan'er, this is what your father drew last night."

"Father also knows this?" Wei Yunlan looked at him with admiration.

"Your father is a well-read man. His favorite thing to read before he entered the government was travelogues. This map was drawn based on several travelogues he had read. Although it is not very detailed, the general location is correct."

Gao pointed to a point on the map near the mountains in the south and said, "We are at this location now."

"The west and south of Liangzhou are mostly mountainous, while the east and north are relatively open and flat. If a large number of refugees from Suizhou and Hanzhou pour in, it won't work to go west, and they will most likely take a detour from the northwest."

Gao's finger moved to the northernmost end of the boundary between Zhou and Suizhou on the map.

Several points are specially marked here. These are the locations where Wei Maolin speculated that he might encounter refugees based on the terrain and environment.

Gao then moved her finger to the northeast corner of Suizhou in the map, "This is Suijiang City. Your father means that no matter where we get separated, we should gather in Suijiang City."

This picture is the result of Wei Maolin staying up most of the night last night. The approximate distance between each point is carefully calculated on it.

The nearest place where they might encounter refugees is only a little over two hundred miles away. At their current speed, they will be able to reach that place in four days!

Gao handed the geomancy map to Wei Yunlan, "Lan'er, keep this map for now. Since the guards of Tianshu Pavilion are reliable, you can find an opportunity to reveal our plan to them in the next two days so that they can have an idea in their minds and cooperate with us."

Gao and Wei Maolin took every possible aspect into consideration.

Wei Yunlan kept the map close to himself and felt more encouraged.

She is not alone in reversing the tragedy of her past life.

Mom is right, she is not fighting alone, the whole family will work together to overcome the difficulties.

All those tragedies in the previous life will never happen again in this life!

Wei Yunlan lifted the carriage curtain and asked her sister-in-law to get on. They walked beside the mule cart and noticed that there were many unfamiliar figures in the team today.

There were ten people in total, all equipped with horses, armor and long-handled swords. They looked more solemn and murderous than the officers who had come out of the capital before.

Wei Yunlan guessed that these were the men that the Liangzhou commander had temporarily dispatched from the army after the encounter with the bandits yesterday. The strength of these ten men was probably comparable to that of the twenty or so officers previously.

If the exile team encountered the same danger in the previous life, and even with so many more people, the team was still dispersed by the refugees, how terrifying would the number of refugees be at that time?

Or was there something else going on here that she wasn't expecting now?

Thinking of this, Wei Yunlan couldn't help but be more cautious than before. After careful observation, she soon discovered that the atmosphere ahead was a little subtle.

The Feng family, who are usually noisy, were acting out of character today. They were so quiet that one could hardly feel their presence.

The Liang family servants surrounding the carriage turned their heads and looked back from time to time, quietly observing the expressions of the Feng family members behind them.

They stopped to rest at noon and Old Mrs. Feng walked towards the Wei family carrying a basket.

Wei Yunlan frowned slightly, thinking that the old lady would make trouble again after being quiet for a while. She lifted the cotton cloth covering the basket and said politely, "After passing Yueheng Mountain, the weather is getting colder. You have children at home, too. This is the herbal medicine we made to dispel the cold. You can boil it for the children to drink."

Afraid that the Wei family would not believe her, she turned around and pointed at the woman sitting over there: "My third daughter-in-law's father is a great Taoist priest in the village. This is the folk remedy he made, and it works. Look, can I exchange this basket of herbs for a bucket of goat milk from your family?"

Without waiting for the Wei family to answer, she sighed again, with a pleading look in her eyes, "It's not my fault that you laugh at me. It's really because these kids in my family haven't had any good food for many days, and they are very greedy. You also know that I just lost three grandchildren, and I can't bear to let the remaining ones suffer. Anyway, you can't finish the goat milk, so why don't you be kind and give me, an old woman, a favor?"

The Wei family received a whole bucket of goat milk over the past two days, which was enough for their own consumption.

This is what was left after Wei Yunlan quietly stored a part of it into the space when no one was paying attention.

Even after passing Yueheng Mountain and the weather becomes cooler, fresh goat milk can only be kept for two or three days at most, and it will go bad if kept any longer.

It would be fine to give it to the Feng family. It’s not that he feels sorry for them, but Wei Yunlan wants to see what this family is planning.

"Suihe, go and get it." Wei Yunlan pointed to the wooden barrel next to the mule cart.

Old Madam Feng put down the basket and tried to take the wooden barrel, but Wei Yunlan shook her head and said, "We don't need these herbs. If you want goat milk, just buy it with money."
