Chapter 97 Don’t Believe Me, Don’t Force Me
In the evening, they finally arrived at the place where they would camp tonight.
But looking at the ruins before them, everyone wailed.
What's the difference between this and resting in the wild? It's even more shabby than where we stayed last night.
Lin Mo looked solemn.
In my previous life, when I came here, at least some walls were still standing and could block the wind.
I didn't expect that just a few days later, the whole place would collapse.
But even if the wall doesn't collapse, it can't shelter us from the wind and rain.
Lin Mo glanced at the sky. The dark clouds rolling across the sky looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
If she remembered correctly, the blizzard would arrive in the middle of the night.
No, you can't stay here overnight.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo walked towards Lao Wei.
"Master Wei, it's impossible to live here." Lin Mo said directly.
"Of course I know." Old Wei looked annoyed.
"But we can only rest here tonight. It will take us about six hours to reach the next rest stop. I don't know what the next stop will be like."
So, there is no choice at all.
Besides, these people have already walked for a day, and if they are asked to continue walking, I am afraid they will not be willing to do so.
Lin Mo pursed her lips. "Keep walking forward for about two hours and there's a cave. We can continue walking for another two hours and then rest there."
The cave was big enough to accommodate so many of them.
Although the temperature in the cave is cold, it is better than enduring a blizzard in the wild.
As long as there is enough firewood, you won't freeze to death.
As soon as she said this, she was immediately opposed by others.
"You have a carriage, you are not tired, you can keep walking. But we don't have one, we are exhausted and don't want to go on."
"Yes, we don't want to leave. Master Wei, let's rest here. Master Wei, don't listen to her."
"It's cold, it's freezing, we accept it, we won't leave."
…
Old Wei looked at Lin Mo and said, "You saw it, they don't want to go on."
Lin Mo frowned:
"The snowstorm is coming tonight..."
"Haha, here we go again." The person next to him couldn't help laughing.
"Don't say such childish things. The weather is bad and a little cold, but it's impossible for it to be a blizzard."
"That's right, there wasn't much snow today, so how could there be a blizzard? Stop exaggerating, okay?"
…
Lin Mo's face was gloomy. He ignored the rumors and looked at Lao Wei seriously.
"Master Wei, don't you believe what I say?"
Old Wei frowned, "Isn't it snowing?"
"It will be too late if it rains." Lin Mo was a little disappointed.
She glanced at the people around her, then looked at Lao Wei again:
“Master Wei, if you don’t believe me, I won’t force you.
But I don't want to die here, so I'm going to take my family to the cave in front to avoid the blizzard.
Believe in me, and those who are willing to join me, I will lead them forward.
Master Wei can send someone to follow us.
If there is no snowstorm, we will wait for you there tomorrow."
Old Wei frowned.
Li Ping stood up and said, "Master Wei, I also want to stay in the cave with Madam Xu for one night. It's at least a little warmer there, sheltered from the wind."
This was the result of her careful consideration.
Although she was very tired, she could still hold on.
In such cold weather, not to mention the snowstorm, just being outside in the wilderness with a cold wind all night would definitely make her child sick tomorrow.
The child is weak and cannot endure this hardship.
As soon as Li Ping spoke, several other families spoke up and expressed their willingness to continue following Lin Mo.
Old Wei glanced at Lin Mo. Those who were willing to go with Lin Mo were those who were close to Lin Mo.
Lao Wei turned and looked at the others:
"Do you want to walk for another two hours to the cave ahead?"
As soon as he finished speaking, most people shook their heads, expressing their unwillingness.
Late at night, the road is not only difficult to travel on, but also prone to accidents.
Most importantly, they were too tired to walk.
Old Wei had the answer in his mind.
He called Xiao Liuzi and Qian Zhengchang and asked them to take Lin Mo and the others forward and camp in the cave that Lin Mo mentioned. He would camp here with those who did not want to continue their journey.
Lin Mo nodded to Lao Wei to express his gratitude.
Then she took out several torches that had been prepared earlier from the carriage and handed them to Xu Ping'an and the others.
Before leaving, she walked towards Lao Wei.
Then he handed him a wineskin filled with wine.
Lin Mo said seriously, "Master Wei, believe it or not, there will be a snowstorm tonight.
Keep this wine warm. If a snowstorm comes, keep going. If the cold gets unbearable on the road, take a few sips of wine to warm yourself up. Take care."
After saying that, he stuffed the wineskin into his hand and turned away.
They didn't have much time left. When they arrived at the cave, they still had to collect firewood, so they had to continue on their way.
Lao Wei looked at the wine bag in his hand. Will there really be a blizzard?
Regardless of whether there is one or not, at least I got a bag of wine for free, so it’s not a loss.
Lao Wei picked it up, unscrewed the cork, and took a sip.
Mm, good wine.
On the Shen family's side.
Shen Zhixuan looked at Shen Qingyun, "Dad, should we follow?"
Shen Qingyun glanced at the moving team in front and then looked at Shen Zhixuan:
"Zhixuan, what do you think?"
"Follow." Shen Zhixuan said seriously:
"Follow her, you won't suffer any loss. What if there really is a blizzard?"
He had observed during this period that those who shared the same ideals with her were all living well.
So, follow her and you won’t suffer any loss.
Shen Qingyun nodded, "Well, let's go."
Shen Pingqi on the side became anxious.
"Brother, do you really believe what she said?
Look, even Lao Wei doesn't believe it and has chosen to camp here. I don't want to leave anyway. I'm exhausted, cold and hungry."
Shen Qingyun glanced at him and shook his head:
"If you don't want to leave, stay here. If you want to keep going, follow."
After saying that, he got on the carriage and asked the coachman to drive away.
When Shen Pingqi saw that he was really leaving, he could only follow him angrily, but he kept muttering greetings to Lin Mo.
Seeing the Shen family catching up, several other families followed.
All of a sudden, nearly one-third of the people left.
Seeing that there were so many people walking, Old Wei was afraid that Xiao Liuzi and Qian Zhengchang would not be able to control them, so he had to arrange for more escorts to follow them, for fear that someone would take the opportunity to cause trouble on the road.
After making all the arrangements, Lao Wei asked the rest of the people to find a place to camp and rest.
He tied the horse aside and found a place sheltered from the wind to rest and drink.
Looking at the dark night sky, will there really be a blizzard tonight?
Lin Mo's side.
Holding a torch, he led the crowd forward.
The torches swayed in the night wind.
The night wind gradually grew stronger, making everyone shiver with cold.
Many people began to regret it.
If I had known earlier, I would not have left and would have just rested here.
Especially those who stumbled in the dark, they complained directly:
"Why should I follow you? The road is so hard to walk on at night. I fell and it hurt so much."
"That's right, we shouldn't believe her."
"How long will it take? I'm so tired."
…
Lin Mo, who was leading the way in front, turned a deaf ear to these complaints and concentrated on leading the way.
Her eyes were always looking to the right, for fear of missing the cave.
Xu Xianyu looked at the person complaining behind him and couldn't help it.
She got off the carriage and looked at these people with a sneer:
"What are you complaining about?
Did my sister-in-law ask you to come along?
You came here on your own initiative, so what is there to complain about?
Instead of wasting time complaining, you might as well just keep your head down and walk faster.
If you really don't want to leave, then camp right here. No one will stop you."
Xu Xianyu's words made many people turn their heads away guiltily.
But some people are dissatisfied.
Shen Pingqi is one of them.
"Didn't you say it would take two hours? It's been more than two hours." Shen Pingqi took a breath.
Damn it, his legs didn't feel like his own anymore.
He raised his head, his eyes full of suspicion:
“Are there really caves in this area?
Could it be that she made it up on purpose to trick us into walking at night?
Besides, even if there really is a cave nearby, how would a woman like her know about it?"
Shen Pingqi's words made many people nod in agreement.
That’s right, that’s the truth.
Although Xu Xianyu didn't know how Lin Mo knew it, she believed in Lin Mo unconditionally.
At that moment, he gave Shen Pingqi a look of contempt:
“Heh, I knew that you Shen family members have the most problems.
If you members of the Shen family don’t believe there is a cave, you don’t have to leave and can just camp here.
Anyway, there is no difference between camping here and camping in the previous place."
"Huh, do you think I don't dare?" Shen Pingqi looked at me with disdain:
"Little girl, don't provoke me.
I tell you, I didn't camp out there because I wanted to expose her deception."
"Haha." Xu Xianyu laughed even more contemptuously:
"When he wanted to trick my sister-in-law, he kept calling her 'ancestor' in a very affectionate way.
Now that you think you can't trick my sister-in-law anymore, you're showing your true colors and no longer calling me ancestor?"
Shen Pingqi's face changed when Xu Xianyu insulted him.
Damn it, a little girl dared to choke me!
He was about to get angry, but Shen Qingyun on the side stopped him.
Shen Pingqi was indignant.
“Brother, we have been deceived.
Doesn't it look like there's a cave here?
Also, even if there is a cave, can it accommodate so many of us?
Brother, don’t you notice that the wind is stronger and colder now?
I don't want to walk anymore. I want to find a place sheltered from the wind, build a fire and rest."
After saying that, Shen Pingqi shuddered.
So cold!
After walking for so long, Shen Qingyun began to wonder if they had been cheated.
But when he saw the Xu family, he was a little unsure for a moment.
After all, Lin Mo was with her relatives and the Xu family, so they shouldn't joke about such things.
"Brother." Shen Pingqi was angry:
"No, I have to go ask her if she deliberately lied to us."
After saying that, he rushed towards Lin Mo in front of him angrily.
The speed was so fast that Shen Qingyun had no time to stop it.
Just as Shen Pingqi rushed to Lin Mo's side, before he could speak, Lin Mo stopped first:
"arrive!"
Shen Pingqi widened his eyes and looked around.
Just come to find her yourself and you’ll get there?
What a coincidence?
