Chapter 105: A carrier pigeon? Wishful thinking!
Li Yuan was fine, but Lin Siyan's face had turned dark. She had put in so much effort and endured so much humiliation just to one day become the general's wife. How could she allow anyone to steal her away?
"Li Yuan, who do you want to see if you don't leave?" Lin Siyan questioned like a jealous woman. "I gave birth to your children, and you actually have someone else outside?"
Li Yuan always said that Gu Yuru was a jealous woman who could not tolerate others, but even though Lin Siyan had already entered his house, Gu Yuru still maintained her outward decency.
But Lin Siyan started a fuss based on nothing more than hearsay.
There is no harm without comparison.
Li Yuan frowned and looked at Gu Yuru involuntarily, but Gu Yuru didn't even look at him. She just sneered. How could she have the nerve to say such a thing?
However, she did not intend to get involved and just put on thick cotton jackets for the children.
Not to mention others, Li Mumu was wearing two layers of cotton-padded jackets, both made of brand new cotton, thick and puffy. She must have looked like a ball at this moment. Just look at Gu Yu and you will know, his face was almost nowhere to be found.
Li Yuan was very concerned about his reputation, so he was naturally unhappy when Lin Siyan questioned him in front of so many people. What's more, his relationship with Lin Siyan was no longer as good as before.
"That's enough. Don't say there is no such thing. Even if there is, who are you to say such a thing?" Li Yuan's words made Lin Siyan speechless.
Old Madam Li even spat and said with disdain, "Do you think I can let my son take care of a rag like you?"
"I'm a rag, why am I a rag? Isn't it because your son is cowardly?" Lin Siyan was hurt and didn't care about anything else, making a fuss like a shrew.
Li Yuan looked at Gu Yuru, his eyes full of regret.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world.
The farce of the Li family ended after Luo Geng lashed out with a whip. Old Mrs. Li and Lin Siyan were each whipped, and they screamed like pigs being slaughtered, and then the situation stopped.
"Shut up, everyone. Leave now, immediately."
Li Fengzhu glanced in the direction of the Li family, not knowing whether to place her hopes on Li Mumu or the urine of those boys.
The Gu family had already packed up their things when the Li family was making a fuss, but when the Li family was packing up, things got messed up again.
Things are bought with money, everyone wants to take them, but no one is willing to take them.
There are only two men in total, and one of them is lazy. As for the women, one has a backache, the other has a buttock pain, and some are sick, disabled, or pregnant.
Everyone started arguing again about this, and no one wanted to take more. Because Luo was in such a hurry, several things were left behind.
Li Yuan was covered with things, and his handsome face squeezed between two lumps of frozen meat looked very funny. He was overwhelmed by the noise of this group of people.
Fortunately, we finally set off again.
It was much more convenient for the Gu family. Wen Jun'an prepared a cart for them. It was indeed against the rules for prisoners to ride in a horse-drawn carriage, but there was nothing wrong with pushing the cart.
In addition, Luo Geng and others had received a lot of benefits from the Wen family, and they did not dare to offend the Wen family. After all, they had to pass through Suzhou on their way back, so they turned a blind eye.
They even removed the shackles from Gu Mingjing, leaving him with only leg irons, to make it easier for him to push the cart.
All the Gu family's belongings were in the car, stacked high and tied neatly with ropes. If you didn't know, you would never think they were exiled, but just thought they were moving.
"Twilight, come up, I'll push you."
Li Mumu shook her head. Gu Mingjing thought she was afraid that he couldn't push the cart anymore. He always felt that he had endless energy. Not to mention fifty miles a day, he could easily walk even a hundred miles.
"I can push it."
Li Mumu was young, and the weather was cold and the road was very slippery, so it was indeed inconvenient for her to walk. Seeing that her third uncle was so enthusiastic, she didn't hesitate.
Seeing this, Gu Yu also wanted to climb onto the cart, but Gu Mingjing yelled at him, "What are you doing?"
"I... me too..." Gu Yu said aggrievedly. He was wearing too many clothes and was fat, so he would fall down after walking a few steps.
Before he could finish, his father, Gu Mingtang, started yelling again, "Mumu is a little girl. How can you, a man, be so delicate? The men in our Gu family are all strong men. If you can't even endure this little hardship, how are you going to protect your sister in the future?"
When he heard that he had to protect his sister, Gu Yu quickly climbed down from the car and wiped his red face. "Who said I was going to sit? I was just worried that Mu Mu couldn't climb up, so I gave her a hand."
After saying that, he patted the shaft of the cart and said, "Uncle San, if you can't push it, I'll help you."
Everyone exchanged glances and pretended to believe what he said.
Madam Gu smiled and lowered her voice to Gu Jian beside her, "Will the child come back?"
Old Master Gu looked at the laughing children and said softly, "Yes, he will be safest here with us. He is much smarter than his father."
Old Madam Gu nodded. Xie Xun knew that they were going to the north, and even if he couldn't catch up now, he would find a way to catch up.
They reached the river at noon and the yamen runners decided to take a break. In fact, it was just Luo Geng's unilateral decision to rest first and have a full meal before crossing the river.
The Gu family hurriedly prepared dinner, but Li Mumu planned to go for a walk.
Gu Yu was young, so he didn't help the adults with anything. However, he was devoted to taking care of his sister. When he saw Li Mumu move, he went over and said, "Cousin, where are you going? I'll go with you. If there's any danger, I'll protect you."
Gu Yu patted his chest as he spoke.
Li Mumu lowered her voice. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man who had entered the woods and ran with Gu Yu. "Let's go find something delicious."
Gu Yu was puzzled. What delicious food could there be in this snowy place?
But my little cousin can do whatever she wants. Girls are meant to be loved.
Soon, Gu Yu knew what delicious food Li Mumu was talking about.
"Sparrow! Sister, did you shoot a sparrow?" Gu Yu said excitedly, "It will be delicious if I roast it and eat it."
As he said this he licked his tongue.
Li Mumu's attention was not on the sparrow. Her real target was the pigeon that flapped its wings and flew up from the depths of the forest.
She curled her lips and took out a specially made small bow and arrow, only the size of a palm, with a needle instead of an arrow and anesthetic applied on it.
This pigeon cannot die, it is still of great use.
The pigeon shot by the anesthetic needle did not fall down immediately, but flapped its wings and flew lower and lower, and then fell down from a very low altitude.
Li Mumu had carefully calculated the dosage of the anesthetic. If the pigeon fell to its death, the rest of the show would be impossible to perform.
"pigeon……"
"Shh!" Li Mumu made a gesture and Gu Yu shut his mouth.
Soon the two found the place where the pigeon landed, and sure enough, they found a note on each of their feet.
