Chapter 53 Don’t worry, I’m here
But Shen Liuli seemed not to see his eyes, and knelt down in front of Xu Wuyan with a plop.
Then, he kowtowed directly:
"Prince, please save my mother.
As long as you are willing to give me the medicine to save my mother, I am willing to be your slave, please."
Shen Liuli, who was only ten years old, kept knocking his head, and soon blood appeared on his forehead.
Her thin figure made people feel sympathy for her.
Looking at the little girl who kowtowed to him, Xu Wuyan looked at Shen Qingyun with a half-smile:
"A self-torture trick?"
Shen Qingyun was also stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile:
"No.
Prince, this is the child's filial piety, and she is also doing this for her mother."
Xu Wuyan sneered. He said that he was never a pushover.
He looked at Xu Pinggui and gave him a look.
Xu Pinggui understood and called Xu Pingan directly. The two of them walked over, picked up the crying Shen Liuli, and threw her somewhere else.
Humph, who are you trying to disgust by kowtowing and crying like this?
"Don't bother me here. If you want to kowtow, go ahead and kowtow somewhere else. No one will care if you break your head." Xu Wuyan was ruthless.
Shen Qingyun's body stiffened. This Xu Wuyan was really a heartless person.
He looked at him deeply with his eyes and turned away.
At the same time, he grabbed Shen Liuli, who was crying and wanted to go back to continue begging Xu Wuyan, “Enough, go back!”
"Uncle..."
Shen Liuli’s eyes were red from crying, but when she saw the coldness in Shen Qingyun’s eyes, she lowered her head.
As she left, she glanced unwillingly in the direction of the Xu family.
Why?
Why don't you help her with this little favor?
…
Xu Wuyan didn't take the Shen family seriously at all. He stood up and told everyone to eat quickly because it was time to set off soon.
Everyone nodded and quickened their pace.
At this moment, Lin Mo got off the carriage with an empty bowl in his hand.
"Is your mother feeling better?" Xu Wuyan asked softly.
Lin Mo shook his head, "After eating, he fell asleep."
Then he looked in the direction of the Shen family and asked, "Did the Shen family come just now?"
"Yeah," Xu Wuyan nodded slightly:
“I sent away those who came to ask for medicine for wounds.
I'm afraid the Shen family won't give up easily, so be careful not to get entangled."
Although that woman is young, she is very smart.
Lin Mo raised the corner of his mouth in a mocking tone:
“If the Shen family gave up so easily, they would not be the Shen family.
I'm waiting for them to come."
If she doesn't come, how can she vent her anger?
She had to let others see the true face of the Shen family.
Otherwise, people would always think that they were cruel and that the Shen family was innocent.
Xu Wuyan liked her confident look, and curled his lips slightly:
"Don't worry and have fun, I'm here."
Lin Mo glanced at him and was about to speak when Old Wei started urging them to set off.
"Let's go, let's go."
…
After this incident, everyone's mood became extremely low.
Especially those who haven't eaten anything since last night.
Now everyone hates the Shen family.
If it weren't for their instigation, they could at least get a steamed bun to fill their stomachs. But now, they can't get anything to eat.
So, when someone heard crying coming from the direction of the Shen family, they finally couldn't help it.
"Why are you crying? Are you mourning? Shut up!"
"Exactly, how dare they cry? We've all been hurt so badly by them!"
…
Soon, curses were heard from the Shen family team, and then the crying stopped abruptly.
But the atmosphere in the team became increasingly depressing.
On the road, people fainted from hunger from time to time.
The atmosphere also became heavier.
"Brother Wei." Xiao Liuzi drove his horse to catch up with Lao Wei and rode side by side with him.
He looked back and said worriedly:
"Brother Wei, more and more people are fainting from hunger. What should we do?"
If it weren't for what happened at noon, everyone would have been able to eat a steamed bun and continue to survive.
But now...
It was difficult to continue walking. These people had no strength left and walked very slowly.
Old Wei glanced behind him with gloomy eyes:
"When we find a suitable place to camp ahead, we'll rest and camp there, and let them find food."
Xiao Liuzi nodded.
Soon, the team arrived at the foot of a mountain.
The terrain is flat, and there is a rocky mountain to block the wind. There is also a river not far ahead, so there is no need to worry about water.
Lao Wei is very satisfied with this place.
Let everyone stop and rest and spend the night here.
This time no one had the energy to protest. After resting for a while, many people dragged their tired bodies to find food.
If they don't find food, they will starve to death.
As for Lin Mo and the others, Xu Wuyan meant to let Lin Mo and the other women rest here and tidy up the place to rest tonight.
He took Xu Ping'an and a few others to find food.
Lin Mo shook her head. She still wanted to take food out of the space.
If she were here, how would it be convenient to take it out?
After taking a look around, she asked Xu Dapeng, Xu Ping'an and Lin Shuo to stay and help.
Seeing Xu Wuyan's confusion, Lin Mo shook his head:
“This is the wild, and it’s easy to get sick if you have to stay out there overnight in the middle of winter.
So not only should the place where you will sleep tonight be cleaned out, but it is also best to burn it with firewood to dispel the cold.
Then we'll bring in the flat stones nearby and lay them on top, and then burn them with fire to ensure that everyone won't get cold tonight."
Lin Mo said this and pointed to a stone not far away.
She noticed these stones as soon as she got off the carriage, and she also thought about how to use them.
"Also, we need to light several fires around here at night to keep warm, which requires a lot of firewood. Do you think that I and a few women can get enough firewood here?"
Xu Wuyan had to admit that his wife was thoughtful.
Nodding, "Okay, then let's do what Madam says?"
After dividing the work, Lin Mo gave Lin Shuo a few instructions, then walked up the mountain with Xu Liangchuan and the others.
At this moment, some people had already gone up the mountain.
Liu Ying was sleeping in the carriage because she was sick.
Xu Dapeng took Xu Ping'an and Lin Shuo to pick up firewood nearby, while Xu Xianyu and Qin Ma Ma cleaned the ground.
Everyone in the Xu family has his or her own job and is busy with the things at hand.
At this moment, Shen Liuli appeared near the Xu family camp.
She looked around and after making sure that there was no one around, she quietly moved towards the Xu family's carriage.
Xu Xianyu and others who were busy cleaning the ground did not notice this scene.
Shen Liuli climbed onto the carriage gently from the other side.
When she saw Liu Ying in the carriage, her body froze.
She didn't expect there was someone else in the carriage.
She just wanted to find medicine. Although her mother applied the herbal medicine that Doctor Mu found, she still developed a high fever.
Doctor Mu said that it would be best to find some healing medicine to apply to her mother.
If there is no medicine, her mother will die.
After taking a look at Liu Ying, who was not awakened by him, Shen Liuli pursed her lips.
Never mind, finding medicine is important.
Her mother couldn't delay any longer.
Shen Liuli gritted her teeth and gently opened the secret compartments on both sides of the carriage with her hands, wanting to see if the medicine was inside.
Unfortunately, the room was filled with all kinds of things, but there was no medicine she was looking for.
She didn't give up and looked at the neatly stacked things at the back of the carriage.
He walked over gently and started searching carefully.
No!
How could there not be?
Shen Liuli was panicking. She really wanted to wake Liu Ying up and force her to tell her where the medicine was hidden.
But she didn't dare.
If she alarmed other people, she would be in trouble.
She glared at Liu Ying fiercely, then left cautiously.
Just as she got off the carriage, Liu Ying opened her eyes and sighed.
When Shen Liuli left, Lin Shuo just came back carrying a bunch of firewood.
Seeing her hurriedly leaving their camp, his brows furrowed.
What is she here for?
Without thinking too much, he ran back carrying the firewood.
The first thing he did was to go see his mother in the carriage, and he breathed a sigh of relief after making sure she was okay.
Then he asked Xu Xianyu in a low voice, what was Shen Liuli doing here?
Xu Xianyu was bewildered, "Is she here?
I didn't see anyone, maybe she just happened to pass by here. She's just a little girl, don't worry too much."
Lin Shuo scratched his head. Was he really overthinking it?
Shaking his head, he immediately helped to light the fire.
Just as the Xu family started a big fire, Lin Mo and others who went up the mountain to find food did not have a smooth journey.
In the cold winter, there are very few edible wild vegetables.
Moreover, they arrived late, and the surrounding area was occupied by others.
After taking a look at the sky and then at the dense forest not far away, Xu Wuyan suggested going hunting ahead. Maybe they could catch some prey, and there were more wild vegetables and fruits in the forest.
Lin Mo had no objection.
When Old Man Mu saw that they were going into the mountains to hunt, he quickly expressed his desire to go with them.
The others who were brave enough, upon hearing Mu Lao speak, also asked if they could tag along.
These days, they finally understand.
Although the Xu family is small in number, each of them has extraordinary skills.
And most importantly, they will look for food. If you follow them, you might be able to find something edible.
Xu Wuyan had no objection.
Soon, the team grew from a few people to dozens.
The team quickly marched towards the dense mountains not far away.
