“Yes, please don’t be so polite. It’s getting cold, we can’t be careless at night!” Wu Chunhua added.

We've all been mothers ourselves. Young children are weak; if they catch a cold, it can be a real problem! Even a simple cold can be fatal at this age!

“Sister Hongying, it’s fate that we’ve traveled together, and we should help each other. Everything should be done in a timely manner. Your most important task right now is to take good care of Xiaohu, as he is the youngest. The weather is getting colder and colder, so make sure Xiaohu wears more clothes.”

Looking at the chubby-cheeked little tiger, much fairer than a few days ago, dressed in a puffy winter coat, he was incredibly adorable. Qin San Niang felt her maternal instincts about to overwhelm her!

"Thank you all for your understanding. My little tiger will have to be filial to you when he grows up," Liao Hongying said, her voice choked with emotion.

Her youngest son, whom she had initially thought wouldn't survive the winter, was now growing stronger and more adorable, all thanks to Qin San Niang's timely help. She was a grateful woman, and when Xiao Hu grew up, she would tell him that her son must also be a grateful person!

He Yingyuan patted his wife on the back reassuringly and nodded his thanks to Liu and the others.

Gu Qingshan buried several bamboo poles in the ground and then draped a tarpaulin, which he used to make a tent, over the bamboo poles, creating a simple umbrella. It was similar to a parasol in later times, and it was large enough to accommodate all of them. Otherwise, snowflakes would quickly cool the cooked porridge, and he was also afraid that the children would get diarrhea if they drank it.

Although the snowflakes continued to fall, the wind gradually subsided. By making the fire burn brighter, and with everyone dressed warmly, the carriages positioned around it to block the wind, and after eating hot porridge, they no longer felt too cold.

Gu Qingshan, who was radiating heat, even had a fine layer of sweat on his forehead.

Fei Peng watched thoughtfully as a group of people sat around eating in the distance. Qin San Niang and the others chatted and laughed, holding steaming hot scallion pancakes in their hands; the aroma seemed to waft right to his nose. This group really didn't seem like refugees! If, as they claimed, they came from the north, how could they so openly eat white flour pancakes and use oil and salt so freely? Did they show no sign of hardship?

Seemingly having made up his mind, he strode quickly toward his tent...

What harm is there in killing one more or one more innocent person? They live by the sword; if they were to be killed in return, that would be a real problem. However, Manager Liu was unwilling to get involved in this matter and advised him to prioritize peace.

To hell with the "harmony is paramount" mentality! That old bastard knew they might be poisoned, so he kept a considerable distance from them and even ordered the镖局 (security escort agency) to stay away. He was prepared all along! What a cunning old fox!

Although Qin San Niang was suspicious, why didn't Xie Yuyan come to her? She really had a way with patience! Well, let her suffer for a few days. Sooner or later, when she couldn't take it anymore, she'd come begging for the antidote. She wasn't after the five hundred taels of silver, but Xiao Er was injured, and the perpetrator had to pay the price. This was justice she, as his mother, should seek!

If Xie Yuyan doesn't apologize or offer compensation, it doesn't matter. At most, she'll just have to suffer with a badly bruised face for a few days. If she has enough self-control to avoid scratching and prevent infection, she probably won't be left with scars...

In short, Qin San Niang's bottom line is that her son cannot be bullied for no reason! No matter who it is!

Having figured all this out, Qin San Niang and the others packed up their tents, cooking utensils, and other belongings, and set off!

The weather was cold, and the wind and snow continued as before.

Although the sky has cleared today, the sun seems to be veiled by a thin layer of gauze, making it difficult for sunlight to penetrate. Mr. Liu said this indicates that the snowstorm may continue for another day.

Even so, they had to move forward. If they stayed here, it would be fine once the snow stopped, but if the snow continued for two or three days, the path into the mountains would be lost, and it would be extremely difficult to continue.

Unlike the adults' anxieties, the children thoroughly enjoyed walking in the snow.

Apart from the young waiter, the other children excitedly followed behind the carriage.

Worried about them, Qin San Niang and Wu Chunhua followed along. Every now and then, a few snowballs were thrown at them, their laughter echoing through the snow-covered woods.

After a while, the mountain path became increasingly difficult to traverse. The snow on the path had covered the short grass on the ground, leaving only the tips of the grass standing upright in the crystal-clear white snow.

"Big brother, get your younger siblings on the bus, the road is rough!" Qin Sanniang said, a mouthful of snow swirling into her mouth, choking her and causing her to cough.

In this situation, even Gu Qingshan, who was walking in front, was on high alert. At this moment, he was focused on scouting ahead, while Azhi had moved to the back of the carriage, so that if anything went wrong, it would also alleviate Gu Qingshan's worries.

"Qingshan, be careful! If there's a ditch ahead, jump down immediately. Carriages and such are inanimate objects! Nobody matters!"

Liu gave her instructions with concern, showing that after so much time, she had clearly taken Gu Qingshan and his daughter to heart.

"Okay, Auntie, just sit down!" Gu Qingshan replied without turning his head.

Qin San Niang looked at the grass on both sides of the road. Although the snow was quite heavy, it hadn't frozen yet, so the road was relatively safe to travel on. If the temperature rose during the day and the snow froze at night, and their horses weren't shod, it would be like ice skating, with them slipping and sliding every step. They would need to be quite skilled to navigate.

Qin San Niang was extremely annoyed that she hadn't thought of horseshoes beforehand, and these items weren't available in the space supermarket either. Having missed Luochuan City, she would have to wait until the next city to buy them.

In fact, even if Qin San Niang went to look for it, she wouldn't be able to find it.

It was much later that she learned that horseshoeing didn't even exist in that era!

Behind them followed a group of people from Changfeng Escort Agency and Xie Mansion, all of whom were covered up very well.

The escort agency led the way, with four bodyguards at the head, riding tall horses. Five carriages followed behind. Chief Liu sat in the very first carriage. The four carriages in the middle were actually flatbed carts without carriages, carrying their goods. The very last carriage belonged to Xie Yuyan, with Fei Peng and the others following on horseback.

Normally, they would surround the car, but the forest path was not wide enough. However, Fei Peng, who was walking behind, looked calm, which made it easier for him to control the situation.

Although Xie Yuyan was anxious and wished she could tear Qin Sanniang to pieces, she had already decided that even if Qin Sanniang knelt down and begged for mercy, she would not forgive her. She would sell her to a brothel in the city and see how arrogant she could be then!

That bitch knows kung fu? No problem! We can just give her some medicine then. That muscle-relaxing powder that makes you feel weak all over is quite effective! She's used it quite a lot before!

Anyone who blocked her way was secretly and secretly attacked by her. From a certain perspective, Xie Yuyan must have some psychological problems!
