Zhenfu happily ran back to tell the others.
Qu Huaiyuan naturally didn't miss this important information, and he became even more respectful and polite.
He gave a half-bow to the servant: "So you are the family of the Left Commandant. I was rude. We will make way for you..."
The servant looked down at him with his nose in the air and said, "Hmph! You're smart to know what's good for you!"
To make way, Zhen Wanwan and the others had to get off the carriage first, while the men carefully pushed half of the carriage off the road.
The Liang family walked past them in a grand manner, and a few gold threads could be vaguely seen in the brightly lit carriage.
Suddenly, the window of the carriage at the front opened, and Zhen Wanwan was caught off guard and made eye contact with the other party.
Inside the carriage was a pretty girl, who looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old.
She looked utterly shocked and exclaimed, "Ah! How ugly!"
Zhen Wanwan: ? ? ? ?
What does this mean?
If I'm not mistaken, that girl was talking to her!
How can you be so blind?!
Who are you calling ugly?
Explain yourself clearly!
I was initially a little soft-hearted because the other person was a young girl, but then I heard her call me ugly.
Zhen Wanwan: If you're going to die, die somewhere far away!
She only had a few pimples, and besides, they're almost all gone now.
Once she gets there, she'll take some medicine to regulate her body internally. With those features, she's bound to become a pretty girl!
Don't be angry, don't be angry. Wait until we encounter the refugees and see how smug they can be.
The Liang family doesn't deserve our pity.
Judging from the behavior of the Liang family and their servants, one can tell that they probably often oppress the common people.
Could it be considered that they rid the people of a scourge?
As the Liang family's carriage drove further and further away, everyone was angry, but there was nothing they could do.
Zhou Ersao patted Zhen Wanwan's shoulder reassuringly: "You don't need to take those words to heart."
A woman's appearance is of utmost importance; the Liang family's daughter could utter such vile words to a complete stranger.
It's clear that he's not an easy person to get along with.
The Liang family's upbringing has long been rotten; their downfall was only a matter of time.
Zhen Wanwan smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine. People can say whatever they want!"
If you don't speak up now, you'll never have another chance to say it...
"Let's hurry up and set off! If we're any later, we might not make it to the next town."
Upon hearing this, everyone sprang into action, some driving horses, others pulling carts.
They followed behind the other refugees, taking a different path from the Liang family.
The path was not as wide and smooth as the main road, and the carriage bounced violently.
Adding to the heat, Zhen Wanwan felt like she was about to get heatstroke.
I really want some ice to cool me down!!!
Wait! How could I forget? She already has it on her social media!
There are electric fans and air conditioners, but there's no electricity, so she can't use them here.
But she was afraid that taking things out of thin air would attract attention.
After thinking about it, I figured it would be faster to make ice myself!
Zhen Wanwan acted immediately, rummaging through her spatial storage and finally finding a way to make ice!
The method is very simple: just put saltpeter into a basin and then put a bottle of water in the basin.
Simply wait patiently for the saltpeter to freeze the water into ice!
Saltpeter is easy to find; a layer of salt-like white frost can be seen on the ground and corners of every house.
Simply soak it in water, filter it, and then boil or dry it to obtain saltpeter crystals.
She searched the entire space but couldn't find a trace of saltpeter.
"Looks like I'll have to wait until the next town to buy it."
What are you muttering about?
Grandma Li placed her sleeping baby on the prepared mattress.
Fearing that the bumpy ride might hurt the child, she stayed by his side and watched him the whole time.
"Nothing much, just wondering if we can get to the nearest village tonight."
As they were talking, Zhen Wanwan heard cries for help and a woman's shouts.
The carriage suddenly stopped, and it was clear that the other families had heard it.
Zhen Wanwan and Grandma Li exchanged a few glances, then Zhen Wanwan picked up the child.
Zhen Fuyou lifted the carriage curtain and spoke to Zhen Wanwan and Old Lady Li.
"It seems someone outside is in danger!"
When Zhen Wanwan heard from other refugees that there were homeless people here, her mood immediately soured.
"Could we have run into those refugees?"
Grandma Li's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the child in her arms.
"What...what should we do? Will they find us?"
The sound seemed quite far away, so Zhen Wanwan forced herself to remain calm and said, "Don't panic, the sound is still quite far from us."
At this time, the Zhou family, the Qu family, Dongzi, and Wang Er's family all gathered here.
The screams from the other side grew increasingly horrific, terrifying the women present.
She quickly pulled the child to her side.
"Waaaaah... Why is our luck so bad!"
"What are you crying about! Be careful not to attract attention."
Wang Er angrily rebuked Ma Shi a few times, feeling that his wife was utterly useless.
All they do when they encounter problems is cry and whine.
Zhen Wanwan alighted from the carriage, looked around, and found that their current location was hidden by thorns.
I felt much more at ease.
Qu Huaiyuan had obviously thought of this as well. He reassured everyone, "Don't worry, everyone. With these thorns blocking our view, as long as we don't go out, they won't be able to see us."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but some people raised questions.
"Are we going to stay here forever?"
Yes, these refugees can't be dispersed anytime soon, and they can't stay here forever.
"Don't worry, everyone. After things calm down over there for a while, I'll go ahead and scout things out. If everything's alright, we'll travel through the night."
Zhen Fugui frowned, looking at Qu Huaiyuan's thin arms and legs, worried that he wouldn't be able to escape if something happened.
"Mr. Qu, please stay here. I'll go check on things later."
Grandma Li looked at Zhen Fugui in shock: "Eldest son, why are you going to join in this mess? These refugees can cause a bloodbath!"
Grandma Li was extremely unwilling for her son to take such a risk.
Zhen Wanwan really wanted to say that she could go over and see if anything happened, so she could quickly retreat into her spatial dimension.
But seeing Old Lady Li's reaction, I knew I couldn't go.
Zhou Dashan stepped forward and said without hesitation, "Let me go! I know the mountain better than any of you."
Then everyone remembered that Zhou Dashan was a hunter, and being in the mountains was like being at home.
Aunt Zhou was quite confident in her son, so she nodded and said, "Let my simpleton go and take a look."
Since the mother had already agreed, they didn't say anything more.
After thinking for a moment, Zhen Wanwan took out a few protective weapons and gave them to Zhou Dashan.
"Brother Hanzi, take these. If you encounter any refugees, just kill them."
Zhou Dashan didn't stand on ceremony and took the large hammer: "Thank you, sister, this one is enough!"
