Meng Shuyan looked at their adopted nephew and was surprised that he was so kind-hearted at such a young age.
[That big belly looks like she's going to give birth soon. It looks like she's going to give birth on the way. She's even more miserable than my mother.]
The metaphorical Leng Yingshuang...
Meng Shijie heard his daughter's thoughts. The pregnant woman was about to give birth. If she was taken to their ox cart, wouldn't she have to give birth on their ox cart?
Meng Shijie was very reluctant, "Even if you want to do good things, you have to rely on others.
Come on, come on, grandpa will teach you a lesson today.
For pregnant women, once you get stuck, you can't get rid of it. We are indeed doing good things, but we can't be taken advantage of, right?
If we bring her here and she gives birth on our ox cart, will you have to carry her all the time?
By that time, your mother, grandmother and the others will be tired and won’t be able to get on the ox cart to rest because there’s no place to sit.
This isn't a good thing; it's asking for trouble!"
The family thought that the pregnant woman had a big belly and it looked like she must be having a hard time, so they thought of letting her ride on the ox cart.
But after hearing what Meng Shijie said, they felt that it seemed to make some sense.
Just at this moment, Meng Shuyan also nodded.
[This scumbag dad is a bit of a scumbag, but what he said makes sense and is very sober.
That big belly was on our ox cart. If the person was fine, his family would definitely not say anything.
If anything were to happen, I'd be blamed, blackmailed, and unable to shake it off, and I wouldn't be able to explain myself.]
[This time, I stand on the same team with the scumbag dad.]
To do good things, you have to consider your level and your own ability, instead of taking on too much when you lack the ability.
By then, instead of doing good things, bad things will happen.
Even if we wait until the pregnant woman has given birth and then let her and her child ride on the oxcart, it would be better than letting her ride now.
So the family cruelly turned their eyes away from the pregnant woman and continued searching.
But the ones I looked for were either too old and looked like they were going to die soon, or they were coughing and looked sick and could die at any moment.
Thinking about what the grandfather said and the aunt's thoughts, Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou finally felt that none of this group was capable.
There were even people staring at their ox carts with ill intentions, and it was obvious at a glance that they wanted to steal their ox carts.
Forget it, I'd better not help.
So Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou climbed back onto the ox cart.
This group of people were already in a miserable state, and as if God wanted to take advantage of them, it started raining that night.
Unfortunately, they were unable to reach the next town that night and had to sleep outdoors.
The sudden rain woke up everyone who was sleeping.
It was autumn and winter at that time, and it was so cold at night that it was freezing cold.
The officers hurriedly tore off several large pieces of oilcloth from their luggage.
"Men, come and help!"
After a while, several large tarpaulin tents appeared on the spot.
Meng Shuyan was surprised, [Isn’t this a simple tent?
It's also super big. These officers didn't even give us tents when they asked us to stay in the cells before. How cruel!
Just pull the tent and then nail two stakes to secure it.
A tent is about 20 square meters, and can easily accommodate 20 people sleeping side by side.
Hundreds of people also realized this, but no one dared to say anything. They could only hold their anger and dared not say a word.
After the tents were set up, everyone went out to collect firewood on their own initiative without any orders from the servants.
Quickly light a fire and dry yourself off.
It’s so cold today. If you have a headache or a fever, you probably won’t get halfway.
It had rained and the firewood was a little damp, which was choking and there was nothing we could do about it.
The officers also knew the seriousness of the matter. Not only did they not say anything, they also helped to make a fire.
I even boiled some water for each of them to drink.
Meng Shuyan was afraid that everyone in her family would fall ill, so she sprinkled some spiritual spring water into everyone's water.
Some of it spilled into the bowl, and some spilled onto their faces.
We didn't dare to sprinkle too much, so the whole family only sprinkled three drops in total.
Meng Shuyan was a little nervous, but luckily the wet firewood produced a strong smoky smell.
No one noticed anything unusual about the spiritual spring water she released. They thought it was just moisture from the rain, so no one paid any attention.
I tossed and turned for most of the night before I fell asleep.
As soon as it started to rain, everyone became very worried. Not only was the road difficult to walk on, but it was winter and the next rain would make it even colder. Everyone was worried about whether they could get to their destination.
The thing that people were most worried about still happened.
Among those who were caught in the rain, the young people were fine, but many of the older people and children caught a cold.
If we really want to say that everyone in the family is fine, it is only Meng Shuyan's family.
In other people's homes, either the elderly were drowsy or the children were crying loudly.
The officers had no choice but to buy herbs for them out of their own pockets, boil some medicine and let them drink it.
Otherwise, they would not be able to explain so many people dying at once, and the large number of patients would also delay the schedule.
The officers suffered a loss and had no place to vent their anger.
So, that night, after everyone had gone to bed, the chief officers discussed countermeasures.
Not only did they not gain anything from this trip, but they also lost money out of their own pockets. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
"Looking at the weather, it's going to rain for a few more days. I have an idea. Xiao Liu, come here."
After several officers discussed it together, the one called Xiao Liu came out alone, got on his horse, and left overnight.
It rained for two days in a row, and more and more people fell ill.
