Chapter 19: Particularly Harsh in the Cold Winter
The leader of Shen Yunyue's group was Peng Scarface, a man with a bad temper. He was always ready to whip anyone. His gloomy and irritable face was, in Shen Yunyue's opinion, much better than the other sleazy faces.
It rained and snowed last night.
Fortunately, the snow was heavier than the rain, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the road.
Inside the space are wooden clogs suitable for this era, made of warm plush fabric inside and reed flowers outside. They are warm and can prevent getting wet in the rain.
But I have to find an opportunity to take it out.
Too many people, too many mouths.
Shen Yunyue didn't want to do anything too extreme at this time.
Her water bag was filled with hot milk tea, and every sip made her feel refreshed.
Yingfeng drove the carriage carefully.
Everyone was in a low mood along the way.
Shen Yunyue felt that someone was glaring at them unhappily. If looks could kill, they would have been tortured to death several times.
Many people's shoes and socks were soaked, and Shen Yunyue's own shoes and socks were also soaked.
Fu Xuanheng opened the car window curtain and looked at everyone with a cold expression.
"Yunyue. You come up, I'll go down."
"What are you doing here?" Shen Yunyue asked unhappily with a frown.
"I can sit in a wheelchair. I have practiced well now. I can do it without a carriage." Fu Xuanheng practiced the skills of using a wheelchair when he had nothing to do.
Now he walks very fast in his wheelchair and can turn and move backward very smoothly.
"That's fine. Let mother and aunts take turns going up to rest." Shen Yunyue agreed.
Fu Xuanheng was sitting in a wheelchair, and Shen Yunyue took the opportunity to change into a pair of rain boots with plush lining. The rain boots were khaki, and she deliberately smeared them with mud.
The skirt is quite long and covers most of the body.
I can't see clearly what she is wearing.
Mo Yiran, Shen Zhoushi and Liu Xiaoyun got on the carriage.
I'm not afraid of being crowded in the carriage.
Shen Yunyue gave a pair of clogs to Shen Citong, and also gave two pairs of clogs to the people in the Shen family's main house. "We don't have any clogs for now. We'll have to buy some when we get to a market town. Everyone, just make do with what you have."
She wouldn't change shoes for all the Shen family members either.
"Having three pairs is already pretty good. Miss Yue, you should also take care of yourself." The people in the Shen family's main branch had no complaints, they were only grateful to Shen Yunyue.
After a few days of getting along.
They knew that the Shen family was successful thanks to Shen Yunyue.
Shen Yunyue pushed Fu Xuanheng's wheelchair, which was made by the Tang family in the capital, who were skilled in mechanical engineering.
It's effortless even on muddy roads.
"I thought the Shen family was so kind-hearted in taking Fu Xuanheng with them. Now they've shown their true colors and are bullying Fu Xuanheng. Poor loser, he can't even ride in a carriage." Someone in the crowd saw Fu Xuanheng in a wheelchair and couldn't help but laugh at him.
The He family heard the sound and someone looked over.
Several people ran forward with unfriendly expressions.
Shen Yunyue looked up at the sun hanging in the sky, then lowered her head and said:
"The Lu family has stopped causing trouble. The He family has started again."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Fu Xuanheng's voice was cold and emotionless. He reached out and patted Shen Yunyue's hand that was pushing the wheelchair.
"What are you going to do? Aunt Feng is planning something bad and is going to use a big move.
How many good people are there in the He family?
To put it bluntly, the person at the helm has more calculations than sincerity towards you."
"Starting today, we don't have to share our food with Aunt Feng." Fu Xuanheng looked at the people from the He family coldly.
I sneered in my heart.
He looked away and happened to see Aunt Feng.
She was his mother's concubine but she betrayed his father.
How could the people of the Abandoned Prince's Mansion commit themselves to others no matter how poor they were?
Fu Xuanheng just wanted to kill that shameless slut.
The further we go, the harder it is to walk, especially since the roads are slippery due to the snow.
Several people slipped and fell in the snow and ice.
Several elderly people were starving and cold, and were too tired to get up.
The bailiff didn't care about all this. The whip in his hand was soaked with the blood of the exiles.
The front of the whip has barbs, and when it is whipped, even the skin and flesh will be hooked up.
Pa pa.
The sound of the whip was particularly harsh in the cold winter.
"Ouch! I'm dying, dying." An old woman from the Lu family, who had collapsed nearby, kept mumbling, "It would be better if I died. I could see my son and grandson."
Tears rolled down the old man's cloudy and lifeless eyes.
The bailiff kicked the old woman in the stomach and said, "Get up, you damn old woman!"
"Mother, save my mother. Please don't hit my mother anymore." A woman hugged her tightly and begged.
"If you're not going to die, then hurry up and leave." The bailiff moved the whip in his hand, but didn't raise it in the end.
Shen Yunyue was terrified by what she saw.
She handed her water bag to Fu Xuanheng to drink, "Xuanheng. Drink some hot water quickly to warm yourself up." People who grew up under the red flag felt sorry for this scene.
But I won't be stupid enough to save them.
Fu Xuanheng took Shen Yunyue's water bag, opened the stopper and smelled a unique fragrance.
After taking a sip, I felt puzzled:
Why haven't you drunk this?
Seeing Fu Xuanheng's hand tremble, Shen Yunyue remembered that it was milk tea.
Why.
After all, I haven't seen enough scenes like this, so I can't help but feel a little flustered.
Several people from the Lu family nearby helped the old woman up, and a woman came over and carried her on her back as she walked.
There was someone supporting the old woman.
The bailiff shouted coldly at the crowd.
"Everyone, get going! If we waste time, I don't mind if a few more people die."
Someone kept sobbing quietly.
Aunt Feng walked for a while and pulled Fu Xuanting to the side of the man with a mustache. It was unknown what she said with a blushing face.
The man with a mustache laughed, "I can't stand your shameless and coquettish look." Then he let the mother and daughter get on the carriage carrying supplies.
Aunt Feng looked coldly in the direction of Shen Yunyue.
There was a barely perceptible hint of hatred and calculation at the corner of his mouth.
Fu Xuanheng's hand holding the handle was shaking, and his face looked gloomy.
“Shameless.”
"Your father is dead. You can't let her take care of your father." Shen Yunyue said helplessly.
Fu Xuanheng sniffed sarcastically:
"A woman like this deserves to be thrown into a pig cage."
Shen Yunyue didn't dare to say anything.
In her heart, she did not approve of Aunt Feng's behavior, but she did not think she should be thrown into the pig cage.
Liu Feifei and the others were busy sewing straw raincoats in the carriage. They also used oilcloth to make a few pairs of shoe uppers, intending to use them as clogs.
The weather is getting weirder and weirder. It's easy to catch a cold if you get caught in the rain in winter.
A cold can be fatal.
We finally reached a place sheltered from the wind.
The escort asked everyone to stop and rest for half an hour. "Come and line up to get your steamed bread. You have half an hour to rest."
Shen Yunyue let herself go a little.
He took out half a basket of sweet sugar buns and several water bags from the basket on the carriage.
The water bag was filled with sugar water.
Everyone went to get steamed bread that could be used as weapons. Yingfeng and Ah Si went to the woods and quickly cut some thatch.
Put thatch underneath.
A few wooden boards were taken from the carriage and placed on the thatch for everyone to sit on.
The thatch in the woods was a little wet, but it was used as a cushion under the wooden boards so that everyone wouldn't get wet when sitting on them.
Each person ate a sugar bun.
Several people drank from one water bag.
Fu Xuanheng drank the milk tea in his hand and handed it to Shen Yunyue. "Yunyue, just share a water bag with me."
He leaned slightly towards Shen Yunyue and said, "Don't let everyone know that our things in the Great Zhou are simple."
The human heart is unpredictable.
Fu Xuanheng knew that Shen Yunyue's origin was not legitimate.
"I know, you're the only one who has tasted it." Shen Yunyue hadn't even let Mo Yiran and the others taste it.
There was a hint of smile between Fu Xuanheng's eyebrows.
The two of them whispered a few words, just like childhood sweethearts.
Mo Yiran looked at Shen Yunyue and Fu Xuanheng, feeling inexplicably upset. His own daughter was tied to a useless man by a piece of paper marriage.
What will happen in the future?
"Old things from the Shen family. Do you think there is no one left in my He family?" An unhappy voice suddenly sounded.
Shen Yunyue knew from the voice that it was someone important in the He family.
