Contrary to expectations, apart from exchanging a bucket of goat milk, there was no unusual movement from the Feng family.
Even after getting the bucket of goat's milk back, before setting off, Old Mrs. Feng boiled it and shared it with the Feng family children.
He even returned the bucket and did not forget to take away his bamboo basket.
"Sister, what do you think the Feng family is up to?" Wei Mingxuan walked to Wei Yunlan and asked in a low voice.
He had originally thought that the Feng family would also send a batch of herbs to the Liang family, but in the end, this honor was only given to their family, which made him a little confused.
"Is there really nothing wrong with the herb?"
"Maybe not. Let's wait and see." Wei Yunlan piled the herbs separately at the other end of the space, which was exactly at the two opposite corners farthest away from the supplies originally stored there.
In this way, even if there is something wrong with the pile of herbs, it will not affect other things in the space.
"Mingxuan, no matter what happens between the Feng and Liang families, it has nothing to do with us. We will be able to separate from them in five days at most. Have you memorized the locations that Daddy marked on the map?"
"I've got it." Wei Mingxuan nodded hurriedly, "If I get separated from you, I'll go to Suijiang City and meet up with you."
Turning his head to glance at Wei Yunlan's tense expression, Wei Mingxuan leaned closer to her again, "Big sister, don't worry, I won't get lost like in your dream. If I get lost again, wouldn't it be unfair to my great-grandfather for warning me in my dream?"
After saying that, he grinned at Wei Yunlan.
Wei Yunlan shook his head and laughed, "That's true, my great-grandfather will bless us in heaven."
If they were to get separated again, not only would she be sorry to him, but she would also be sorry for this God-given opportunity to live a new life!
…
"Set off!"
The military officers sent from Liangzhou were extremely serious and didn't talk much even during breaks. Even the officer in charge of the rescue operation put on airs and swore less.
At the command, the officers escorted the three adults in front.
The Liang family's carriage should have been behind them, but they stopped where they were, as if letting others go first.
"Then let's go first." Wei Yunlan nodded to Dong Da and Liu Quan who were leading the mule, "Follow."
The position of the Wei family in the team changed from the last to the first.
The order of the following families remains the same as before, namely the Feng family and the Bai family.
The finale was the transformation of the Wei family's mule cart into the Liang family's three horse-drawn carriages.
This change just suited Wei Yunlan's wishes. No matter how it was changed, as long as it could be as far away from the Liang family as possible, it would be fine. Being the first one, at least it would be close to his father. If something happened, it would be easier to drag people onto the mule cart to avoid getting separated in the chaos.
The weather in the afternoon was a little colder than in the morning. As the sun set, it became a bit chilly.
Wei Mingxuan rubbed his arms and sighed, "It's just a mountain called Yue Heng, but the difference is so huge!"
"It wasn't this cold in previous years." Suihe recalled her childhood memories. "I remember that the weather only started to get cold after the autumn harvest. This year, it got cold especially early."
Wei Mingxuan then sighed: "Ah, it was inexplicably hot a few days ago, and it's inexplicably cold these days!"
"Changeable weather often means disasters are coming." Gao suddenly remembered this sentence. Seeing her children looking at her, she explained in a low voice, "Your great-grandfather said this before."
When Wei Yunlan heard this, his heart skipped a beat and something suddenly flashed through his mind.
Yes, a disaster!
She knew what she had forgotten.
The reason why so many refugees flocked to Liangzhou was because a major disaster suddenly occurred in the west!
At this time in her previous life, she was still alive, and was far less free to move around than after becoming a ghost. The maids in her courtyard were just like her, unable to leave the Wind Chasing Courtyard easily, and didn't know what was going on outside, but every day there would be maids from the kitchen coming to deliver food to the Wind Chasing Courtyard.
Each time I sent something, it was more crude than the last.
Wei Yunlan remembered that once Tingxue questioned the maid in the main kitchen, and the maid replied, "Most of Dayong has suffered a disaster, and the price of grain in the capital has increased several times. It's good to have something to eat. Why are you so picky!"
Wei Yunlan certainly didn't believe that the Marquis' Mansion would be so poor that they could only afford coarse flour steamed buns for the Crown Prince's wife, but the disaster and skyrocketing food prices mentioned by the maid must be true.
What kind of disaster would affect most of Dayong City?
Suizhou is fine.
Hanzhou, located in the southwest of Suizhou, has a wide and flat terrain and is the largest grain-producing province in the northern half of the Dayong Dynasty.
What kind of disaster would cause the relatively wealthy people of Hanzhou to leave their homeland and flee to the even poorer Liangzhou at the critical juncture of autumn harvest?
If it were any other disaster, the people would definitely wait until the autumn harvest, when they had food in hand, before starting to migrate.
Unless it is a disaster that happens suddenly, catching them off guard and requiring them to escape immediately!
Hanzhou is far away from the sea, has a flat terrain, and there are no large rivers passing through the state.
First of all, we have to rule out tsunamis, landslides and floods...
All Wei Yunlan could think of was the earth dragon turning over and the dragon swinging its tail.
The destructive power of these two disasters is greater than other disasters. No matter which one happens, their previous plans will have to change!
…
The actual dangers they face may be much more serious than encountering refugees.
The next few days are crucial.
Wei Yunlan did not dare to delay for a moment. He exchanged places with Jia Yan, sat in the mule cart, closed his eyes, and let his consciousness sink into space.
She sorted the existing supplies into sixteen packages according to the number of people, each package containing one bundle.
Except for Xiao Jiarong's portion, each of the other fifteen portions contained enough dry food for one person to eat for seven days, a hemp rope, a piece of silk for bandaging wounds, as well as medicine for colds, medicine for external injuries, and flint.
