Chapter 236 The Eve of the Storm

Ran Qingxuan got up early in the morning and went out for a walk. When he came back, he and Gu Yanchen each pushed a wheelchair, one for Gu Yanzong and the other for Xiao Zhe from the Xiao family.

When the Xiao family saw that there was a share for them, they were overjoyed.

Xiao Zhe woke up two days after the operation. After learning that he was saved by the Gu family, he felt grateful but also awkward towards the Gu family.

Fortunately, Xiao Zhe was also a sensible man. After spending more than ten days with him, he realized that the Xiao family's exile was to blame on Emperor Mingde.

Now that he had received benefits from others, Xiao Zhe, with his wife and two twin sons, stepped forward to thank Ran Qingxuan solemnly.

This was just a small matter for Ran Qingxuan, but now everyone in the team who was on good terms with the Gu family had received their favor.

The Xiao family was so grateful that Ran Qingxuan felt that his efforts were not in vain.

Before setting off, the eldest sister-in-law took a thin blanket and spread it on the wheelchair. After Gu Yanchen and Chen Zhao lifted Gu Yanzong up and sat him down, the eldest sister-in-law covered him with another blanket.

In this way, people won't be cold and having two fewer quilts means less burden.

The Xiao family followed suit, and soon Xiao Zhe was also wrapped like a rice dumpling.

"Mom, big brother, it's enough, I feel a little hot!"

"You don't move around, and you rely on the quilt to keep out the wind and cold. It's hot, so don't go and trouble the Ran family when you get sick."

Xiao Zhe stopped talking and watched silently as his mother covered him with another thin blanket.

Fortunately, Gu Yanchen had foresight, and the ten or so bundles of quilts and everyone's tents were all shared by the two horses.

The donkey was loaded with cooking utensils, rice, flour, grain and oil, while the remaining quilts were carried on the backs of several men, thus reducing the burden on the women.

Only after all preparations were completed did Bu Wei order the prisoners to set off.

But Ran Qingxuan still thought things were too simple. When the team stopped at a flat place to rest and eat at noon, she finally understood why Qianchong Mountain was called Qianchong Mountain...

When they left the town in the morning, they saw mountains in the distance, but it was already noon and the mountain in front of them remained the same as before.

The entire mountain range is not only huge, but also consists of nothing but rocks. The team walked from lunch until the afternoon before finally reaching the foot of the mountain.

To be on the safe side, Bu Wei decided to stay here tonight and set off at dawn tomorrow.

When the families heard this, they immediately collapsed on the spot with painful expressions, and it took them a while to even set up the tents.

Several sisters-in-law came into the tent with grins on their faces, and soon the third sister-in-law called Ran Qingxuan in in a low voice.

When he went in, Ran Qingxuan saw that several people's feet had been worn out, mostly caused by the gravel on the road.

"I have some medicine. I'll bring some to you right away."

Ran Qingxuan felt that it was not a good idea to continue going this way. Who knew if the situation on the mountain would be even worse than it was now.

When distributing the medicines, Ran Qingxuan and Gu Yanchen took away everyone's shoes. Most of the shoes they were wearing had worn out soles, and they were only worn in early autumn.

Now it is not only hard and damp, but also tattered.

The mall caters to time travelers, so it has all kinds of ancient clothing and you will find a lot of them if you just search.

Originally, she wanted to buy hiking shoes for her family, but in order not to arouse suspicion, she forced herself to walk until now.

Nowadays, everyone's feet are injured to varying degrees, so we took this opportunity to replace them all.

Although the shoe styles are still boots and embroidered shoes, the material is much stronger than the soles of Thousand Layer Buna.

And the most important thing is that the sole is strong and wear-resistant. It will not rub your feet when you wear it and it also provides comprehensive protection for your feet.

Several families were deeply moved after receiving the shoes that fit their feet. God knows how they got through the day.

The next morning, Bu Wei was a little surprised when he was holding a dozen pairs of new shoes. To avoid suspicion, Ran Qingxuan just said that he bought them in Shuangling.

Although Bu Wei didn't say anything about the benefit he received, he was grateful in his heart.

"It's hard to go up the mountain. You have Gu Yanzong in your family, so be careful."

Bu Wei reminded him without even turning his head. Ran Qingxuan smiled but said nothing. He returned to the team and started helping to pack up.

The Li family and the Shang family were not treated so well, and they endured the pain and moved their feet with difficulty.

Li Si glanced at Fu Fan calmly as he passed by him. The latter turned his face away expressionlessly and watched his colleagues discussing how comfortable the new shoes were.

Ran Qingxuan was not kind enough to prepare shoes for him. After all, he almost killed He Xun before. After Bu Wei received the shoes, he naturally knew how to distribute them.

After a cold snort, he walked to the end of the line and looked at the Gu family silently.

The way up the mountain was very difficult, but everyone who wore new shoes lamented that their feet didn't hurt at all.

Gu Yanzong was sitting in a wheelchair and was pulled by Gu Yanchen, while Ran Qingxuan was responsible for holding the handle at the back to control the direction.

At the end of the day, everyone felt just a little tired, and before evening, the team arrived at the cave where Bu Wei had planned to rest.

"There's only a road ahead, and it's hard to rest. We'll stay here tonight."

The monks of the Li family were eager to rest, and upon hearing this, they immediately found a place sheltered from the wind and sat down on the ground.

It is difficult to hunt in the mountains nowadays, so several families simply cooked some noodles for lunch. However, during the break, Lin Xueer from the Li family started to torture them again.

Zhao Chunxiu was afraid that her grandson in her belly would be hungry, so she shamelessly walked up to the Gu family and planned to buy a bowl of noodles for her with the three copper coins in her hand.

Zhao Chunxiu is also a scheming person. She knows that the woman in the Gu family has no children and she cares about children the most. Even if the children are not her own, she cannot bear to see them suffer.

Ran Qingxuan also knew that this was the obsession of several sisters-in-law, so he didn't make things difficult for her and directly served her a bowl of noodles with egg.

Zhao Chunxiu took the noodles and smiled smugly, but turned around and pouted in disgust.

He Xun happened to see this scene, and with a stern face, he flicked the whip and said coldly: "In this kind of weather, it's good to have something to eat. Three copper coins for a bowl of noodles with egg, and you still have the nerve to complain!"

"No, no, I just got burned and my lips are scalded..."

Zhao Chunxiu was afraid that this person would cause trouble, so she quickly brought the noodles to Lin Xueer, almost putting it in front of her mouth.

"What are you doing? Do you want to burn me to death?"

Lin Xueer leaned on the quilt and hid to the side, frowning and scolding Zhao Chunxiu.

Zhao Chunxiu quickly withdrew her hand, picked up a piece of boiled egg yolk with chopsticks and blew on it.

Unexpectedly, just after taking a breath, Zhao Chunxiu's face suddenly changed, and then she retched without warning.

Lin Xueer was instantly disgusted. She took the noodles and kicked Zhao Chunxiu away.

"You want to disgust me? Get out of here right now!"
