The pregnant woman with a big belly and Xiu'er's mother both wanted to get off the ox cart.
They knew that if it weren't for them, these people wouldn't have come to embarrass the family.
Xiu'er's mother felt that she was in much better spirits and seemed to have more energy.
"Why don't I go down."
"Just sit still and relax, your daughter is helping to push the cart.
Even if you want to go down, you have to wait until your fever subsides and you can walk again."
Chen pressed the woman down and said, "Don't worry about it."
The woman had no choice but to nod.
Meng Shijie was very impatient. He knew that this problem could not be solved, and now trouble was coming.
He didn't argue with those people, but directly shouted to the officers in front of him.
"Sir, please take care of this! These people are trying to cause trouble and are blocking my ox cart from leaving!"
"What's going on?"
The officer on the other side originally didn't want to pay attention to it.
Seeing the men with the oxcart covered with oilcloth, and thinking of their plan, he came over impatiently, whipping them.
Seeing this, those who originally wanted to make trouble immediately fled.
After the officers left, they all started to curse the Meng family, saying all kinds of nasty things.
The pregnant woman's husband was so angry that he wanted to curse, but was stopped by Meng Shuchun.
"Let them say what they want."
Human nature is exactly as it is written in the book.
Meng Shuyan used to be engaged in research, and she hadn’t seen such human nature for a long time.
Meng Liqian and Meng Lihou were still thinking about those people who almost got into a fight over who got on the ox cart. Only then did they understand what the grandfather said before the rain.
I have a deep understanding that next time I do something good, I must do it within my ability.
After stumbling along like this for a long time, it was almost dark.
At this time, the rain was getting heavy.
Suddenly, the officer in front asked us to turn into a deserted path nearby.
"The mountain road next to the official road ahead has collapsed. We have to go around here."
The officers were so kind as to explain it to me.
The crowd was being led away, and they didn't know where their destination was.
He just followed the officers and didn't care which route they took.
As it was getting dark, the officers called a halt.
After the tents were set up, everyone roasted themselves by the choking fire, ate cold and hard steamed bread, and drank a bowl of rice soup.
Meng Shuyan looked at the top of her father's head in surprise. It seemed that the originally light gray aura gradually became darker.
"Are you all okay?"
Doctor Zhou came to see the Meng family, and Meng Shuyan found that there was some gray aura on his head.
[That's not right. Grandpa Zhou's head was originally covered in light golden aura, but why is it gray now?]
Meng Shuyan looked at the other people in the family again.
[The luck on my uncle, third brother and cousin's heads, which had originally faded to a lighter gray, has become darker again.
Even grandpa and grandma have some light gray on their heads.
She turned around and saw that the golden luck was still on her mother's head.
Looking at the tops of my aunt and cousin's wife, there was also gray air, and the heads of my two nephews still had white air.
I looked at the Zhou family members next to me, and most of them were covered with gray air.
"Is the mountain going to collapse?"
Meng Shuyan thought about it and looked around.
There are no mountains? What's the reason?
When the Meng family heard Meng Shuyan's thoughts, they all started to feel a little panicked.
Doctor Zhou took the pulse of Leng Yingshuang, Meng Yuanwai and Chen Shi.
"Everything is fine."
"Uncle Zhou, I am really bothering you."
"What's the trouble? Just take my pulse and make sure everyone is alright."
Doctor Zhou smiled.
He looked at the pregnant woman with a big belly who was following the Meng family. Seeing that she looked okay, he thought she should be fine.
Thinking back to the day when the Meng family was kind enough to almost cause a fight, he didn't even offer to help the other person take his pulse.
Otherwise he won't be able to sleep tonight.
"You should get some rest early too."
Leng Yingshuang thought of her daughter's thoughts and felt that she still needed to make some preparations.
Besides, Uncle Zhou was so good to her. If anything happened, she would blame herself to death.
"Uncle Zhou, it has been raining for the past two days, so please be alert at night.
The official road has collapsed, so it's better to be safe than sorry."
“You are absolutely right.
How about this, we each family leave one person on guard at night.
This way any situation can be discovered immediately.”
The Meng family thought Dr. Zhou’s suggestion was a good one.
Meng Shuyan also thought it was great.
[Yes, yes, yes, someone must keep watch.]
Meng Shichang felt that he was the eldest in the family, so he had to do this.
"Then I'll keep watch for half the night."
"Dad, let me do it. You go to sleep first."
There was no way Meng Shuchun would let his father watch over him while he slept.
"Brother, you go to sleep and I'll watch over you."
Meng Shijie thought that his elder brother was not young anymore, so how could he let him keep watch at night?
"I'll do it if I want. You all should go to sleep quickly. Boss, I'll take over for you in the second half of the night."
Meng Shichang still has some authority in front of his son and younger brother.
At the Zhou family's side, Doctor Zhou's eldest son was on duty in the first half of the night, and the pregnant husband said he would be on duty in the second half.
They were in the same tent and had received favors from the Meng family, so when they heard about their arrangements, they automatically wanted to join.
"Why don't you go to bed yet? You have to get up early and travel tomorrow morning!
If you can't get up, don't blame the whip for being blind."
An officer outside heard people talking in this tent and came over and shouted at the tent.
Everyone went to bed, except Meng Shichang and Doctor Zhou's eldest son, but there was no movement.
In the second half of the night, Meng Shuchun woke up, and her pregnant husband also woke up. It was their turn to keep watch and add some firewood to the fire.
