Chapter 61 My wife has the final say

"Master Hou, this team is now under the control of my young mistress."

During the break just now, Lu Wanyin said that there was a possibility of landslide on the mountain ahead and they had to cross the mountain before the rain.

Xuan Qi had no intention of getting entangled with Hou Yuanji, and only gave a concise reminder: "If you disobey my wife's orders, the consequences will be too much for Lord Hou to bear!"

Hou Yuanji: ...

He really can't afford it.

The team of two hundred people moved forward slowly.

Hou Yuanji used to be able to occupy a corner outside the prison van, but now his position was occupied by Lu Wanyin, and he could only follow on foot pitifully.

After walking a few steps, I was exhausted and out of breath.

"Lu Wanyin! How long are you going to walk? Are you deliberately looking for an excuse to take revenge on me?"

Lu Wanyin glanced at him: "I want to take revenge on you, but I still need an excuse."

Well...honest words.

Hou Yuanji was extremely tired. He saw a huge rock on the side of the road, threw away his crutches, and jumped on it to rest.

He shouted at the prison van: "We have been walking for a long time, and the weather hasn't changed. How did you know it was going to rain?"

Lu Wanyin said slowly, "Lower your head and look under your right foot."

Hou Yuanji subconsciously looked over there and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

He ran and jumped to catch up with the prison van, his voice trembling: "What is that thing?"

After Xie Jingci saw it clearly, the smile on his face softened.

Beside the crack of the huge rock, hidden by the withered yellow weeds, a black "worm" as long as eight chopsticks and as thick as fingers was crawling upwards.

The body of a cricket pupa.

Among the little girls, Lu Wanyin was probably the only one who could remain calm and collected after watching it.

She even looked like she never got tired of watching them, and said excitedly, "There's no need to be afraid of earthworms, they're just cute little things."

Hou Yuanji clicked his stiff neck and said, "Little, little cutie."

Whose little cutie looks like this?

Slippery, chubby, and clueless!

Scarier than a giant caterpillar!

The prison van had gone far away, and Lu Wanyin could no longer see the earthworms, so she looked away regretfully.

"It's said that some earthworms can grow up to five feet long, almost as long as snakes."

Hou Yuanji thought about it and suddenly got goosebumps all over his body.

He admitted that he had spoken a little too early.

Compared to those five-foot-long earthworms, these little fat guys are really... cute.

Hou Yuanji felt nauseous for a long time.

It wasn't until his legs were so tired that he could hardly lift them that he came to his senses.

"That's not right. Didn't I ask you why you thought it was going to rain? Why are you trying to fool me with all this nonsense?"

Lu Wanyin nudged Xie Jingci beside her and said, "Explain it to him."

This reaction undoubtedly showed his blatant disdain for Hou Yuanji's stupidity.

Hou Yuanji was so angry that his teeth were itching.

"If you have something to say, just say it! Stop being so mysterious!"

If his wife hadn't asked him to explain, Xie Jingci wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to Hou Yuanji.

He said in a cold tone: "Before a heavy rain, earthworms will crawl out of the ground."

"That thing without a brain can sense whether it's going to rain or not even when the weather hasn't changed."

Hou Yuanji didn't believe a word of it, "You are kidding me!"

As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at Hou Yuanji silently.

Lu Wanyin and the others are fine.

How come even the kind old lady Xie looked at him like a fool?

Hou Yuanji licked his dry lips, still confused.

If those brainless earthworms are more powerful than humans, doesn't that mean humans are not as good as earthworms?

That's impossible.

Hou Yuanji straightened his back again: "Some people usually claim to be smart, but in fact they just fool me!"

He wanted to see how Lu Wanyin would explain if the rain didn't stop.

Looking at Hou Yuanji's smug look, Wu Fan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

It's shameful to have a leader who has no common sense.

What did he say just now?

Um!

It really is a brainless thing.

The exile team hurried and finally arrived at a cave before the hour of You, which was more than enough to accommodate more than 200 people.

The third branch of the Xie family is full of old, weak and sick people. They quietly find a corner to squat down and rest.

Everyone feels the same way.

Pray that Lu Wanyin can't see them and let them hide from the rain quietly.

Hou Yuanji grabbed Wu Fan and pushed him hard: "Go guard outside. I don't believe the weather can change so suddenly when the sun is so bright."

Wu Fan was pushed forward, his arms almost flying with sparks, and he was lucky enough to avoid falling flat on his face.

He didn't dare to attack Hou Yuanji, but when he passed by the Xie family, he pulled one person out.

Wu Fan said, "Let's go! Accompany me to wait for the rain!"

This unlucky guy is Xie Zhixin, the youngest son of Liu, the third wife of the Xie family.

At the age of sixteen, he married a wife, took several concubines, and had many maids.

His usual domineering behavior is even more so than that of the eldest wife, Xie Zichuan.

But he used shady tactics and specialized in doing disgusting things by secretly instigating others to do things.

Along the way, the Xie family has encountered many disturbances and suffered a lot.

He was the only one who had hardly been injured except during the internal fighting.

Liu and Xie Deyi wanted to save him.

Unfortunately, Wu Fan was angry and kicked them all over.

After dealing with the two old men, he kicked Xie Zhixin forward, cursing as he kicked him.

Watching this scene, Lu Wanyin laughed and said, "This Hou Yuanji is truly hopelessly stupid."

After meeting Lu Wanyin's gaze, Hou Yuanji turned his head away with a heavy heart.

Don't worry, there's still time to hit her in the face after the rain stops.

Xie Jingci also smiled and said, "It was he who was able to get us to the place of exile safely."

Lu Wanyin understood what he meant and asked impatiently, "Speaking of which, how long will it take before we can start?"

Although the plays performed by the Xie family every day are quite interesting, they become annoying after watching them too much.

Xie Jingci's eyes were sharp: "Soon."

Lu Wanyin gave him an "OK" gesture: "Okay, you take a rest, I'll go out for a while."

Xie Jingci was not too reassured: "You need someone to follow you."

It's already cold in the mountains, and if it really rains, she might be in danger alone.

Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows: "No need."

Xie Jingci suddenly remembered her technique of disappearing instantly.

Yes, she is very powerful and he doesn't need to worry about her.

Lu Wanyin took two steps and came back: "How about you give me three personal guards?"

Xie Jingci smiled brightly: "Go and pick it."

Guard: Why do I feel like I've been sold?

In addition to Xuan Qi, Lu Wanyin randomly selected two more and left the cave.

Seeing Lu Wanyin go out, Hou Yuanji wanted to ask her where she was going, but the words got stuck in his throat.

Forget it, go wherever you want.

Lu Wanyin didn't walk far. She went to the nearest village market and bought some new pots and pans, cotton-padded clothes, and a few quilts from her fellow villagers.

As autumn arrives, it gets cold in the mountains, and it gets even colder right after the rain. You can't live without a quilt.

She asked her personal guards to carry the cotton-padded clothes and took out some specially made extreme cold clothes from the space when no one was paying attention.

It is made of special materials from the end of the world, and is extremely light and warm.

If the style was not obviously different from current clothes, she would not have spent money to buy cotton clothes to hide her identity.
