Chapter 18: Treat others in their own way
No matter how reluctant everyone was, the team set out again.
At this moment, snowflakes were still floating in the sky, and the cold weather made everyone shiver.
"Master Wei, it's too cold, I can't stand it any longer.
When we get to the nearby town, can we buy some warm clothes?"
The old man of the Mu family trembled and walked to Old Wei and said.
Old Wei, riding on his horse, glanced down at him condescendingly, "It's still two days' journey from here to the nearest town.
Do you think this is the capital and you can buy anything you want?
Even if it’s cold, you still have to hold me together.”
Old Man Mu opened his mouth. He didn't expect the distance to be so far.
But he was unwilling to give up.
"Then...what about the nearby villages?"
As long as there is a village, there is always something to exchange.
Food, clothes, whatever, he just wants to exchange for something.
Lao Wei smiled, with contempt in his eyes, "Trade with villagers? Where's your brain?
Do you think the villagers here have money? Do they have anything to exchange with you? Maybe they stuff their clothes to keep warm with willow catkins. No, they probably don’t even have a decent set of cotton clothes and trousers.”
Old Wei was very disdainful.
These people are used to being the bosses in the capital and have no idea of the suffering of the people.
Do you really think that the village is so big that the villagers have everything?
The further north you go, the colder it gets. This winter, people can't do anything but stay at home and only eat one meal a day. Many people do this.
Moreover, some people may only have one set of cotton pants and cotton clothes at home, which they wear when they go out.
What do they get in exchange?
Mr. Mu's face turned red after being ridiculed by Old Wei, and he was furious for a while.
Finally helpless:
"Master Wei, help me think of a solution.
It’s too cold and people will get sick. If most people get sick, they won’t be able to leave, which will only delay the trip.”
Old Wei glanced at him and said, "You do have a point."
Seeing Mr. Mu nod, Old Wei said sarcastically:
"It makes sense, but what's the point? There's no village in front and no shop behind, so no one can do anything about it.
Go back and continue on your way. Don’t keep whining to me here. If you keep whining, I’ll whip you.”
After saying this, he struck the ground with a whip:
"Old man Mu, if you hadn't caused me any trouble, I would have whipped you just for your whining. Go back, do you hear me?"
The expression on Mr. Mu’s face froze slightly, and in the end he could only sigh and walk back.
The weather is so cold, if it continues like this, I'm afraid I'll catch a cold.
But he has tried his best, and the rest is up to fate.
Old Man Mu seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, and his back was bent a lot as he walked back.
Lin Mo saw the whole scene.
The Mu family was not in the exile team in the previous life.
In this life, I don’t know why he was exiled, but he is the chief doctor of the Mu family.
On the way to exile, making friends with the Mu family is not necessarily a bad thing.
It's a pity that she can't help them now.
If she conjured up a pile of cotton for him out of thin air, she would probably die in the next second.
After thinking for a while, he called out to Mr. Mu when he passed by their carriage.
Then he asked Xu Ping'an and others to give the straw raincoat and the thatched mat to Mr. Mu.
Mr. Mu hesitated, "This..."
"Wearing a straw raincoat can at least block the wind and keep you from feeling too cold. The same goes for a straw mat. If you can get it ready and put it on your body, it can also keep you warm." Lin Mo interrupted him:
"We have to endure for two more days, and we'll be fine once we get through it."
They will arrive at Shanhe Town in two days, and then Lao Wei and the others will ask them to purchase supplies.
After all, too many people froze to death on the road, and they had no way to explain.
Now, there is no way.
Old Man Mu moved his lips, and finally lowered his head and said "thank you", then he left with the straw raincoat in his arms.
Xu Wuyan glanced at Lin Mo:
"Why help them?"
"The Mu family doesn't have many people. The old man's eldest son is an imperial physician. He is in exile and is most afraid of getting sick. It will be good for us to make friends with him." Lin Mo explained.
"As for the straw raincoats, during the lunch break, I'll go cut some more straw to weave them again. Otherwise, I'll just have to hold on for two days and then buy more."
Xu Wuyan didn't say anything else. The way she did things made people feel at ease.
The cotton-padded clothes that Xu Ping'an and the others were wearing had cotton added to them, so the impact was not significant.
And she was right. Making friends with doctors would only benefit them and not harm them.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the weather became colder and colder.
When everyone saw the Mu family using straw raincoats and thatch to keep warm, those who had straw raincoats and thatch in their hands followed suit.
"Don't say that, with these to block it, at least it's not that cold."
"right."
"It's too cold. I can't stand it."
…
Xu Mengxian, who was walking at the back, was trembling and dragging her heavy steps forward step by step.
She almost fell down several times because of hunger.
She reached out and pressed her hungry stomach, and her eyes turned red.
If she wasn't willful, she would listen to her elder brother.
If she is willful and does not side with the Han family.
If she hadn't targeted Lin Mo because of the Han family, she wouldn't have to live a life of luxury, but at least she wouldn't have to walk by herself and wouldn't have to starve.
She regretted it, but she was too embarrassed to go back.
Xu Mengxian choked up a little.
Han Yulong turned around and said, "Xu Mengxian, you won't tell me that you are crying out of regret, right?"
"No." Xu Mengxian sniffed and said in a humming voice:
"I have a cold and my nose is a little uncomfortable. I just sniffed it."
Han Yulong looked at her with disdain and sarcasm:
"This is all your own fault. If you had brought the carriage, we wouldn't have to suffer this."
"Really, Xu Mengxian, you should be more firm.
You are the daughter of the Anping Palace, you can go and grab the carriage."
"At worst, you can ask for one-third of the carriage. Why should Lin get the free ride?"
…
Xu Mengxian didn't say anything, she clasped her hands together and continued walking forward with her body shaking.
I finally understood that they had bad intentions and were instigating me to go against my eldest brother.
Having been stupid once, Xu Mengxian doesn't want to be stupid a second time.
Seeing that she ignored him, Han Yulong lost interest and continued walking forward.
It was so cold and there was snow on the ground, making it difficult to walk.
During the lunch break, Xu Mengxian quietly followed others into the woods to find food.
The Han family would not give her food. If she didn't want to starve to death, she had to find it herself.
Similarly, Lin Mo also entered the forest.
This time, she didn't think about finding food, but about revenge.
Lin Mo saw the man who knocked her unconscious go into the woods.
She had murderous intentions.
Han Feng didn't know that he was being targeted. After entering the forest, he went straight into the depths of the forest.
It is difficult to find food outside the forest.
You have to go deep into the forest, where few people go, to find food.
He was so focused on moving forward that he had no idea that there was a little tail following him.
Lin Mo looked through the space and confirmed that there was no one around, and his eyes turned cold.
This is it.
Lin Mo picked up a large stone from the space, weighed it, and sneered.
She likes to give people a taste of their own medicine.
Smash him to death!
Lin Mo rushed out of the space and smashed the stone in his hand hard on Han Feng's head.
Han Feng sensed something was wrong and quickly turned around to dodge.
But it was too late.
Bang!
Han Feng fell to the ground and fainted. The blood flowing from his head dyed the white snow on the ground red.
Lin Mo held the blood-stained stone in his hand and looked at Han Feng lying on the ground with an indifferent expression. Without any hesitation, he threw the stone at the unconscious Han Feng again.
She will never be soft-hearted towards her enemies.
When Lin Mo stopped, Han Feng was already dead.
She stood up straight, threw the bloody stone in her hand aside, and then turned and left.
Soon, your master will come down to find you.
…
But at this moment, Liu Ying was blocked by someone.
Liu Ying asked cautiously, "What's the matter with you looking for me?"
They looked fierce.
Madam Han sneered, "What do you think?"
Looking at the thick cotton coat she was wearing, Madam Han was extremely jealous.
Why can she wear warm clothes and ride in a carriage?
And they can only endure the cold and walk?
She was just taking advantage of the Anping Palace. Originally, all of this should have belonged to them.
All of these belong to their Han family.
"Take off your clothes." Madam Han looked gloomy.
"What...what do you want to do?" Liu Ying clutched her collar nervously. "I want to go back."
After saying that, he turned around hurriedly and was about to leave.
“Did I let you go?
Take it off for me!"
