Chapter 17 What? Can’t watch the show?
Zhou Yuxuan felt that she was very unlucky.
The suffering she had endured in the past few days was the sum of all she had experienced in her entire life.
First, Lin Mo was beaten, and then he was beaten again on the orders of a eunuch.
The old injuries plus the new ones knocked her to the ground.
And there was blood.
Although her family applied medicine and bandaged her at Fengyu Pavilion yesterday.
But because she was in a hurry, the wound opened again and the pain made her dizzy.
I finally got a chance to rest, but there was no place to stay, so I could only make do by the fire outside in the yard.
I thought it was bad enough, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily in the middle of the night.
Her husband and children all ran away, and no one remembered her.
As a result, she was left in the rain for a long time.
She had a fever before daybreak.
After taking the medicine, I rested in the carriage for a day. When we set up camp at night, I finally felt a little energetic, but I could only lie down.
However, she didn't expect that after eating, the wound on her buttocks became inexplicably itchy.
And it's getting more and more itchy, the kind that goes deep into the bone marrow.
She couldn't control herself and reached out to scratch it, only then did the itch subside.
But if I don't scratch it, the itch will creep back into my body.
Before she knew it, she had scratched the wounds on her body until they were bloody.
The double feeling of itchiness and pain made her wail involuntarily.
“Ahhh…it hurts!”
"Itchy, so itchy, it's killing me."
…
Zhou Yuxuan's wails of pain were louder than the doctor's.
Shen Qingyun realized that something was wrong and saw that her buttocks were soaked in blood and she was still trying to grab something, so he quickly called his two sons to hold down her hands and feet.
"Bear with it, don't scratch me anymore, or you'll die." Shen Qingyun's face was distorted and terrifying.
"Master, I'm so itchy, and it hurts." Zhou Yuxuan's voice was already hoarse from wailing.
"Let me go, let me go, I want to scratch!"
“Ahhhh!”
“Help!”
…
Shen Qingyun's face looked very ugly. He didn't understand why his wife suddenly became like this.
Right now!
Bang!
Old Wei came out and hit the ground with a whip, making a harsh sound.
Old Wei glared at the Shen family angrily:
"What are you howling for?
"Shut her mouth. If she disturbs my sleep again, I'll whip her to death."
The Shen family panicked and quickly found a piece of rag and stuffed it into Zhou Yuxuan's mouth.
Without the harsh and unpleasant voice, Old Wei's expression softened a little, but his eyes still revealed a trace of contempt and ridicule:
"It hurts and itches, right? I've seen this happen many times. Just pour a bucket of ice water on it and you won't feel a thing. If you can't hold on any longer, just carry it into the valley and throw it away. What the hell? You've already been exiled, why are you still being so pretentious?"
Old Wei walked back to their escort room cursing.
And his words were heard by Lin Mo who happened to walk in.
So cruel!
Lin Mo grinned.
Sure enough, those who can be escorts are all ruthless people.
She looked at Zhou Yuxuan with sympathy. She looked so miserable. A hint of gloating flashed across Lin Mo's eyes.
Although what Lao Wei said just now was harsh, he was right about one thing.
Rinse with ice water is indeed a good idea.
After the itching powder is washed off, the itching will naturally stop.
As for wounds, ice water can temporarily relieve the pain, but afterwards...
Lin Mo's mouth curled up slightly. The wound became inflamed, causing the fever to persist.
She was very curious. At this point, would the cold-hearted Shen family abandon her?
However, what she was more curious about now was whether Shen Qingyun would use Lao Wei's suggestion.
Lin Mo looked happy.
Looking up, I saw Xu Wuyan looking at me, raising his eyebrows:
"Why, can't we watch the show?"
"Yes." Xu Wuyan looked away. It seemed that she really disliked the Shen family.
"Dinner is ready, waiting for you to eat."
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded and walked in.
When I sat down, I found that a clay pot with half of its mouth missing was filled with a pot of steaming sweet potato soup. Next to it was a stack of bowls made of wood and hot buns.
Although the food is simple, it is particularly rich on the road of exile.
What touched Lin Mo the most was that before she came back, none of them ate first and then waited for her.
If it were the Shen family, not a single drop would be left.
It was like this in my previous life. I worked so hard to make a soup, but I just went out to get some firewood to cook it. When I came back, there was nothing left.
The Xu family is indeed different from other families.
Putting all her thoughts aside, Lin Mo took a bun and let them share the rest. She only ate one bun.
If she didn't want to arouse their suspicion, she wouldn't even want to eat the buns.
Don’t be fooled by the large amount of food here, but at one cent, each person doesn’t get much, so it’s good enough to fill their stomachs.
"You eat so little?" Xu Wuyan frowned.
"Well, the wound hurts and I don't have much appetite." Lin Mo lied.
She couldn't say that she had eaten her fill in the space.
"Let me apply the medicine for you first." Xu Wuyan put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and was about to take out the medicine to apply it to her.
"No hurry, eat first."
…
At the Han family's side, Xu Mengxian stared blankly at the warm Xu family across the crowd, a hint of bitterness and regret flashing in her eyes.
She is so stupid!
Xu Mengxian took a look and lowered her head.
If she continued reading, her aunt would ridicule her again.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingyun kept looking at Zhou Yuxuan's distorted expression, gritted his teeth, and looked up at his two sons:
"There's no other way. How about trying what Lao Wei said?"
If they keep pressing like this, it won't be a solution.
Shen Qingyun's two sons looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
But Zhou Yuxuan widened her eyes and her body began to tremble.
She definitely can't handle the ice water.
While making hesitant protests, she shook her head desperately, but unfortunately the Shen family father and son ignored her.
Seeing that her two sons agreed, Shen Qingyun immediately called four servants and carried her directly to the well.
He turned around, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it directly onto Zhou Yuxuan's wound.
Then another bucket!
…
It’s true, the pain and itching were relieved a lot after she drank the ice water, but she was still shivering from the cold.
Shen Qingyun poured her five buckets of water in a row before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Pull the rag out of her mouth:
"Ma'am, are you feeling better?"
"Yeah." Zhou Yuxuan nodded, shivering. She felt like she was freezing.
“Cold… so cold!”
Shen Qingyun quickly called a maid to help her get on the carriage to change clothes and apply medicine.
It was late at night when we finished all this.
Shen Qingyun, who was already exhausted, had no energy to think about anything else and just fell to the ground and fell asleep.
After walking for a day, everyone fell asleep one after another.
The cold wind made the sleeping people move towards a warm place.
In the darkness, snowflakes fell.
The cold swept across the earth.
The faint firelight, alone in the darkness, resisted the increasing coldness.
Before I knew it, the roof and the ground were white.
The world is covered in white.
…
The next day.
I don’t know who woke up first and noticed the snow first.
The cry of "It's snowing" woke everyone up from their dreams.
Looking at the white world outside, everyone shuddered.
"It's snowing! No wonder I felt colder the more I slept last night."
"Oh my god, it's so cold, how do we go next?"
…
In contrast to everyone's complaints, everyone at the Xu family immediately got busy.
Lin Mo asked Xu Ping'an to boil some water in the broken pot.
In the snow and ice, it's good to drink something hot to warm your body.
And the thatched mat they had used as a quilt to cover themselves last night was rolled up and packed up with their luggage.
"I'll go get the steamed buns." Xu Wuyan said.
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded.
Steamed cornbread is inedible if it is frozen, but it can fill your stomach if it is soaked in boiling water.
While no one was paying attention, Lin Mo Si gave each of them a small piece of dried meat.
Lower your voice:
“Eat quickly!”
After saying that, he stuffed the dried meat into his mouth and started to bite it.
It's freezing in the snow and I'm freezing without eating meat.
When everyone saw that it was dried meat, they were shocked. They looked around and after making sure that no one was paying attention to them, they quickly stuffed it into their mouths.
The taste of meat brought a look of satisfaction to their faces.
At this moment, Xu Wuyan brought back the steamed buns.
When Lin Mo took the steamed bun, she quickly stuffed a piece into Xu Wuyan's pocket.
When Xu Wuyan saw that it was dried meat, he was shocked.
Where did she get it?
Seeing that Xu Pinggui and others had their mouths closed but were moving, I knew that they were also involved.
Lower your voice:
"No one is allowed to tell anyone."
Everyone shook their heads, they were not that stupid.
Lin Mo took out the steamed buns that were distributed yesterday, three for each person, and ate them with boiled water.
After all the things were loaded onto the carriage, the escort came to urge us to set off.
And at this moment, many people have not packed their things.
They shouted to wait a little longer, which caused the escorts to whip them again.
