Because it was the escorting officer who spoke, all the exiled prisoners walking by turned around to look.
At this moment, the second wife also saw Su Degui's old mother lying on the ground.
She was incredibly annoyed by the old woman's appearance, thinking to herself: "That old hag, she's always causing trouble."
Despite her inner thoughts, she had to feign grief and surprise, saying, "Oh... Mother, how come you collapsed so suddenly after I've only been away for a short while?"
After saying that, she made a lot of noise but didn't actually do anything; she ran towards the old lady, crying and sobbing.
She ran up to the old woman and shook her violently.
"Mom, wake up! What's wrong with you?"
You mustn't scare your wife. You're the pillar of our family. If you fall ill, how will we survive?
Waaah...
If Shen Yingying saw the second wife's performance at this moment, she would definitely say: "This role alone deserves an Oscar."
The performance was poignant and deeply moving, and the acting was spot-on.
The escorting officer had no desire to watch the second wife put on a show.
He said to the second wife, "You take the person away."
The second wife was wiping away her tears (no tears, colloquially known as "dried tears") when she heard the official order her to carry the person away.
The second wife thought to herself: "Carry her away—this body of fat must weigh at least 150 or 160 pounds. Who will carry her? Who would be willing to carry her?"
So she said to the escorting officer, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to take Mother away."
Our family doesn't even have a pillar of support; it's all women, we really can't lift it...
Upon hearing the second wife's words, the escorting officer's eyes darted around, his thoughts unreadable.
After thinking for a while, he said, "What a hassle, just you wait."
After he finished speaking, he ran to the front of the line and explained the old lady's situation to Yang Yi.
Upon hearing that someone had fainted and no one was taking care of them, Yang Yi ordered his men to carry the person onto the oxcart used for transporting supplies.
The old lady has been unconscious since fainting and is unaware that she has already boarded the oxcart.
Just like her son, she hitched a ride on an oxcart for a rest.
The old lady felt comfortable while unconscious and fell asleep immediately.
The old lady only slowly woke up when the oxcart's wheels were bumped by a blue stone.
The old woman also lay on the oxcart for an hour and a half.
The old lady woke up, but she didn't open her eyes.
She felt like she was lying on an oxcart, how comfortable it was not to have to walk!
Only a fool would get up and travel on his own.
So the old lady pretended to be unconscious on the oxcart until the caravan stopped to rest near night, then pretended to slowly wake up and got off the oxcart.
Shen Yingying and Ouyang Yuqing were unaware of their affair.
For some reason, the dog emperor hasn't sent anyone to launch a sneak attack these past few days.
The couple would sneak food in the carriage when they were hungry.
After finishing his meal, he would sit in the carriage with the crystal cores and meditate.
The two of them were so enthusiastic about using the crystal cores to meditate that they estimated they would be able to advance to the next level in a few days.
At this moment, Shen Yingying opened her eyes from her meditation.
She glanced at Ouyang Yuqing, who was meditating beside her.
Ouyang Yuqing cultivated very diligently, so her meditation time was always longer than Ouyang Yuqing's.
Since the person was cultivating, she couldn't disturb them.
So she lifted the small curtain on the carriage.
She looked out, but the carriage was moving, and all she could see were reflections.
Shen Yingying looked outside for a while and found it boring, so she lowered the curtains.
However, she was wondering if they were almost at Taihe Town.
Are we almost at Langyan Ridge, as Ouyang Yuqing mentioned?
Shen Yingying was deep in thought when Ouyang Yuqing, who had been meditating beside her, opened her eyes.
