Chapter 016 Let the Gu Family Eat the Poisonous Mushrooms

Zhang Xiang laughed sinisterly, his voice booming. He cracked his whip a few times and shouted, "If you don't want to stay in this wilderness any longer, leave now. Maybe you can find a place with people to stay tonight."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but quicken their pace.

As for prisoners, there's no need to think about staying in an inn, but at least it's safer to be where there are people.

There is no need to worry about being bitten by a poisonous snake. Li Yunzhe from the second room has not woken up yet and is still running a fever. The weather is hot and the wound has not been properly treated. It will get infected soon.

But walking such a long way was really a torture for the pampered women. Yesterday, many of them had blisters on their feet, and today, the blisters burst as they walked.

Everyone in the Gu family is fine. They applied some medicine when they felt uncomfortable yesterday. Although they still feel pain today, it is not that painful.

The Li family was in a much worse situation. Even Lin Siyan's embroidered shoes were stained with blood. Li Yuan felt so distressed when he saw it that he wished he could suffer for her.

The scumbag father also promised again and again that he would never let her suffer again.

Li Mumu sneered. Won’t suffer?

That's impossible. As long as she is around, the Li family will have to endure endless suffering.

She just figured out the plot as she walked. They should stay in a small town tonight. Although the sun is shining today, it will rain heavily tomorrow.

If you catch a cold after getting caught in the rain, you should know that in ancient times when there was a lack of medical care and medicine, a cold could be fatal.

Li Mumu thought that when they got to the market, she would have to persuade her grandmother to buy some clothes to protect her from the wind and rain and keep warm, because it was already past the beginning of autumn, and the further north she went, the colder the weather would be, and she couldn't let herself get cold.

Anyway, we have the money, so instead of waiting until we get to the place of exile to spend it, we might as well spend it on the way and make everyone more comfortable.

The food provided by the yamen runners was unpalatable; they could have prepared some for themselves.

At noon, although the Li family complained, they learned from their mistakes and decided not to refuse the food the yamen runners handed out later, no matter how bad it tasted.

Because the consequence of being disdainful is going hungry.

The weather is hot, and many of the Gu family’s things can’t be kept. Instead of letting them go bad, it’s better to let everyone eat them.

Gu Yu came to invite her three times, but Gu Yuru was too embarrassed to go back.

The reason why they invited it instead of bringing it was because the Gu family knew that even if Gu Yurun and her mother came, they might not be able to eat it.

No matter how cruel the Li family is, they would not dare to rob them.

She is already a married woman, how can she have the nerve to go back and beg for money? Besides, it would be fine if it were normal times, but in this situation, there are so many mouths to feed in her parents' home.

However, when she went back before, the Li family had complaints, and now that she is not going back, the Li family is unhappy again.

Old Mrs. Li glanced at Li Yuan. In fact, even if she didn't look, Li Yuan would come over.

"Yuru, I saw Yu'er called you several times. I guess your parents prepared your portion. If you don't want to eat it... don't waste it. Give it to Siyan. She's not feeling well. She just vomited several times and her stomach is empty."

Gu Yuru frowned slightly and looked at Lin Siyan's face. It was indeed very ugly. Ordinary people couldn't stand it, let alone her, a pregnant woman.

Li Mumu looked at her mother and thought to herself, "Oh no!" Is she being soft-hearted again?

That wouldn't do. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gu Yuru speak, "Li Yuan, Yun Chao is covered in injuries from your punishment. Have you asked him about this whole day and night?"

"Mumu is young and was almost bitten by a snake. Have you asked her?"

Li Mumu breathed a sigh of relief, then turned and left.

But she could still hear her scumbag father's excuse, which turned from guilt to anger. "Gu Yuru, I thought you were a virtuous person. Why do you always stare at Siyan and pick on her?"

Li Yunchao clenched his fists. The wound on his back had healed much better today, except for the scabs which were a little itchy.

Li Yunye frowned, "Why does Dad always scold Mom? Ever since that woman came back, Dad hasn't said a single good word to Mom."

"Bad woman, let's go beat up the bad woman."

Li Mumu was very scared. If her two brothers hurt Lin Siyan, her scumbag father would definitely take their lives.

In this day and age, it is not a serious crime for a father to beat his son to death.

Li Mumu quickly pulled the hands of her second and third brothers and said, "Brother, there are mushrooms over there. Let's go pick some mushrooms."

"We have mushrooms?" Li Yunye's face lit up with joy. "Then we can cook them and eat them."

Li Yunchao pondered for a moment, "Could it be a poisonous mushroom? Don't let it make you sick."

But seeing how pitiful their sister looked, the brothers finally decided to go with her to take a look, since the food at the yamen runners' place wasn't ready yet anyway.

"It's really strange. We came here together, but my sister was the only one who picked up the mushrooms." Li Yunjue said helplessly: "Can mushrooms recognize people?"

Li Yunye looked at his sister-in-law and felt much better. "You must not have been looking carefully."

"Second brother, don't just talk about me, what about you?"

Li Yunye spread his hands and looked at the mushrooms in his sister's arms. "It would be great if they are not poisonous. We can have a better meal at noon."

Li Mumu returned with the mushrooms in her arms. The Li family members' eyes lit up and they naturally thought they could eat at noon. However, Old Lady Li had been a farmer for most of her life, so she started scolding when she saw the mushrooms.

"You little jinx, are you trying to kill us? These mushrooms are poisonous. Look, they're all green. If you eat them, you'll die. Throw them away quickly."

Li Mumu wanted to say, he is really not stupid, he actually knows about seeing the green hand.

But they don't know that Jianshouqing can also be non-toxic.

"What are you doing with these poisonous things? Why don't you throw them away?" Li Yuan said viciously.

Li Mumu shook her head and said, "Eat mushrooms."

"Eat shit, you will meet the King of Hell if you eat it. Someone in our hometown Zhoucun died after eating this stuff." Zhao said with a pale face.

Lin Siyan rolled her eyes and pulled Mrs. Li, "Madam, could you be mistaken? This mushroom looks very tempting to me."

"I won't..."

Mrs. Li didn't finish her words, and she stopped when she saw Lin Siyan's eyes.

Lin Siyan cleared her throat and said, "Madam, we had to eat the Gu family's food because of Madam. Food is very expensive on this road. We all come from poor backgrounds and have experienced all kinds of hardships. I'm afraid the Gu family can't bear it. These mushrooms are fresh and tender, why not give them to them?"

Li Mumu wanted to curse after hearing this. Lin Siyan was too cruel.

This is going to wipe out the entire Gu family.

Even if the Gu family is not wiped out, the remaining people will know that it was me who delivered the things. How will my mother face her family in the future?

It’s really cruel.

"Daddy, don't you want to eat?"

Li Yuan frowned, "I don't want to eat it. Send it to your uncles."

Li Mumu smiled brightly, "Okay."
