Chapter 46 Escape

"Mother, let Cheng Ming stay with my younger sister first. I have something to tell you..."

Cheng Weiyao looked at the Imperial Concubine whose expression was obviously a little off, walked over and rubbed Wen Chengming's little head, signaling him to leave first.

They had to travel through wind and rain, and it was a rainy day. The women in the family were frail and had never suffered such hardships before. Once an attack occurred, the elderly women and young children were the first to suffer.

Sneezing is a defensive respiratory reflex that the human body makes to eliminate the stimulation of physical or chemical factors on the nasal mucosa.

Since the Imperial Concubine started sneezing, it means that she might be sick. At this time, isolating Wen Chengming is actually a good solution.

"Mom, please sneeze more!"

As soon as Wen Chengming left, Cheng Weiyao lowered her voice and softly suggested that sneezing therapy has been around since ancient times and can not only prevent diseases but also cure them.

When you sneeze, the high-speed airflow passing through the oral and nasal cavities thoroughly cleans the upper respiratory tract, thereby reducing the harm of pathogens and toxic substances to the human body.

"It was indeed me who lost face for the Prince Qingping's Mansion just now..."

But the Imperial Concubine was a woman after all, and she looked embarrassed. Her sneeze just now was so unexpected that it was revealed in front of everyone. Cheng Weiyao's request now seemed a bit mocking.

Face? Cheng Weiyao's mind was stuck for a moment. How could a sneeze involve face issues? She rolled her eyes.

Whether the women in the group sneezed or coughed, or covered their faces with handkerchiefs or hands, their goal was the same: to prevent others from seeing their uncontrolled sneezing.

"Mother, that's not what I meant. You can do it quietly. It's good for your health. If you hold it in, you'll catch a cold easily..."

Cheng Weiyao rubbed her temples helplessly. These ancient rules and etiquette were really a headache. This was not elegant, that was not elegant...

"real?"

The Imperial Concubine was somewhat skeptical. After all, Cheng Weiyao had saved her before, so she probably had some medical skills. She also felt that the discomfort she had felt after sneezing just now was relieved.

"It's truer than gold. Mother, we are all family. We prosper together and suffer together. Why would I help you for no reason? If I harbor evil intentions or deceive you, let the thunder from the sky..."

Cheng Weiyao raised her finger. To the ancients, etiquette was paramount, and oaths played a significant role. This should have earned the Imperial Concubine's trust.

Before she could finish her words, the Imperial Concubine placed her index finger on Cheng Weiyao's lips and retorted sternly, "Don't blame me, God. I'm young and inexperienced, and my oath is not binding..."

Cheng Weiyao burst out laughing. This imperial concubine was really adorable. A mother-in-law with such a temperament was what many daughters-in-law dreamed of in modern times.

"You're still laughing. Don't swear lightly on a normal day. God is listening... I believe you, but don't do it again next time."

After the imperial concubine finished muttering, she happened to notice the smile on Cheng Weiyao's lips, and immediately tapped her forehead to express her dissatisfaction.

Cheng Weiyao agreed repeatedly, saying that as long as the imperial concubine followed her wishes, she could say whatever she wanted.

As more and more people in the exile team showed signs of illness to varying degrees, their pace became slower and slower, and the officials had to stop temporarily to rest.

"You're a bunch of sickos, stay away from me. I'm afraid you'll infect me..."

Li Kui began to count the number of people in the exile team with an impatient look on his face, and in his heart he was full of complaints about why the hard work always fell on him.

Everyone started to build a fire on the spot, some were decocting medicine, some were making ginger soup, and the officials sat around in a distance, watching everyone.

After being exiled, the officials had good food and drink, had never been exposed to rain before, and had been running around for a long time, so they were in good health and rarely got sick.

But people are always afraid of death. In the exile team, there were people with headaches and fevers, people with weakness in their limbs, and people with shortness of breath... No one knew if there were any contagious people, so the officials were also on guard.

"This is a good opportunity. How about sneaking away? The officials are sitting far away now. As long as we are careful and cautious, this might be a good opportunity..."

"That's easy to say. Those officers are all in good health. They're not old, weak, or sick. We're still in shackles. They make a lot of noise. We can't run far..."

"I want to create something unexpected. My hometown is on the mountain. I think the soil around here is not right. I'll knock down all the nearby trees and step on them more..."

Several serious criminals sat in a row, ignoring each other, but in fact they lowered their heads and whispered about how to escape from the exile team.

After all, they had already rioted once before, and they were committing crimes on top of crimes. They would not have a good time if they were really sent to the place of exile. It was a crime once, and it was a crime twice. Naturally, they would start to think of something else while the officers were lax in their guard.

After a while, several of the serious criminals reached a consensus. As soon as they stood up, the police immediately became alert and came over with swords in hand, shouting, "What are you doing? You want to cause trouble again? Sit down!"

"Sir, I need to pee. You wouldn't refuse me even if I have to pee, right?"

"Sir, I can't hold it any longer. You don't like me taking off my pants and pooping on the ground, do you?"

The heavy criminal's vulgar words made everyone and the police frown. The police cleared their throats lightly and said, "Go one by one. When the previous one comes back, the next one will go..."

The officers were unwilling to watch people go to the toilet. They knew that these serious criminals were sentimental and sympathetic to each other because they were all stranded in the world, so they came up with this idea.

The officers only need to see the silhouette of people, which serves as a surveillance and double insurance.

The serious criminals began to go to the toilet one after another, and the noise they made was quite loud, which made the officers unhappy. When they saw the exiles hurting themselves by hammering the tree, they just left it alone.

After Cheng Weiyao gave everyone in the Qingping Palace a bowl of ginger soup, she began to look around to see if there were any wild plants that could be harvested in the QQ Farm.

However, instead of finding any plants, they discovered something unusual. Not even a single bird had been startled and flown away. The trees near their temporary resting place were slightly tilted, and even the large rocks showed signs of cracking...

"Oh no! The mountain might be sliding. We need to notify everyone to evacuate quickly!"

With a slam of his palm, Cheng Weiyao connected all the clues together immediately. Animals became terrified, plants became abnormal, and small collapses, loosening, and cracking occurred in the rock and soil... Aren't all of these things a precursor to a landslide?

It rained heavily just before, and we have no idea when this disaster will happen. Time is money now!

"Husband, go tell the officials that the mountain might be about to landslide. Tell everyone to pack up and leave here quickly!"
