Chapter 86 Continue on the Road
Inside the house, Wu Yue and Fang Huiwen brought Yuan Li and Yuan Yi to coax Yuan Ruo.
Outside the house, Wu Gui carefully applied medicine to Ansheng's arm while chatting with Zhou Yunshu.
Li Jialan looked at Xixi who had been nestled in Zhou Yunshu's arms. She was afraid that Xixi would tire out the pregnant Zhou Yunshu, so she said, "Xixi, come here, grandma, hold you."
Xixi shook her head, turned around and hugged Zhou Yunshu's arm.
She had heard from Yuan Ruo that this strange brother in front of her liked to steal other people's mothers, and she didn't want her mother to be taken away by him.
Zhou Yunshu kissed her daughter's face and said to Li Jialan, who looked worried, "Mom, it's okay. Didn't Grandpa Xue just check my pulse? I'm in good health."
Li Jialan also knew that Xixi had been missing Zhou Yunshu these days, so she didn't force it anymore. She just told Xixi, "Don't move around in your...father's arms."
Li Jialan changed her words in time and did not say the words "your mother".
Zhou Yunshu smiled and looked at Wu Gui, who was frowning and bandaging An Sheng, and said, "Don't worry. Since Grandpa Xue said that An Sheng is suffering from a mental illness, you can't force it."
Yes, after Mr. Xue took Zhou Yunshu's pulse, he also took Ansheng's pulse and made a diagnosis at Wu Gui's request.
The diagnosis was that Ansheng was in good health, and the reason he didn't speak was because of inner rejection, or a kind of aphasia under self-protection.
In this situation, we can only take it slow. Maybe one day when he wants to speak, he will speak up.
Wu Gui put her arm around An Sheng's shoulders and sighed. What worried her most now was not this, but how An Sheng and Yuan Ruo would get along.
Wu Gui felt distressed when Yuan Ruo cried, but An Sheng was brought up by her, and she couldn't just leave An Sheng alone.
How can we ease the relationship between the two?
Li Jialan looked at the melancholy on Wu Gui's face, glanced at the window behind her and said soothingly: "Yuan Ruo is just unfamiliar with it, it will be fine once they are familiar with it."
Wu Gui thought about what Yuan Ruo had just said to her: "I don't like my mother anymore." She smiled bitterly and nodded, "I hope so."
Zhou Yunshu looked at An Sheng, who was sitting silently beside Wu Gui, and changed the subject: "Mom, what did Uncle Du say when you left the team?"
"He didn't have time to pay attention to us at that time."
Li Jialan recalled the situation at that time and said to Zhou Yunshu, "We met another group of refugees not even two days after we separated from you. Actually, they couldn't be called refugees. They felt more like villagers who wanted to rob us."
"They saw that although there were quite a few people in our group, most of them were elderly, weak, women and children, so they had evil intentions, especially since we had so much food and water."
"We were following the team at the time. When we saw the accident ahead, Chunque, Huzi and the others immediately turned their cars around and ran away with us. We met Shopkeeper Liang on the road."
Zhou Yunshu frowned and asked, "Where are the people Wei Zhong left behind?"
Li Jialan knew what Zhou Yunshu was worried about and said, "They were all knocked unconscious by Mr. Xue."
Zhou Yunshu nodded in relief, "We can't stay here for long. After breakfast, let's prepare some dry food and get going as soon as possible."
"Yun Jia is waiting for us in the city. Du Mazi, Yan Shilei and I have also agreed to meet outside the city."
Li Jialan worriedly asked, "Will Wei Zhong and the others also go to the capital? What if we meet them then?"
Zhou Yunshu held Xixi's soft little hand and whispered, seeing that no one was around, "I once told Wei Zhong and Qingfeng that I wanted to rush to Nanzhou as soon as possible. Then I could contact my grandmother's retainers to find her and go to the northern border to collect the remains of my grandfather and father."
"So when Wei Zhong discovers that I'm missing, he'll most likely lead his men directly to Nanzhou."
However, Zhou Yunshu also had other preparations. "Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that Wei Zhong will bring people to the capital, so we have to make preparations for both scenarios."
Zhou Yunshu decided to change into women's clothes on the road and let Wu Gui, who was still dressed as a man, be her husband in public to cover up for them.
Their new identity was that they were part of the Wu family, who had come south from Anshan County to seek refuge with their in-laws.
Zhou Yunshu has already thought of the identities for everyone in the team.
Wu Gui is the eldest son of the Wu family, Zhou Yunshu is his wife, Ansheng is their eldest son, Yuanruo and Xixi are their twins, and Zhou Yunshu is pregnant with two more.
Old Master Xue plays the grandfather of the two. Wu Yue is Wu Gui's mother, and Li Jialan is still Zhou Yunshu's mother, but she brings her daughter-in-law Fang Huiwen and youngest son Feng Xujie to live with Wu's relatives. Yuan Li and Yuan Yi are still Fang Huiwen's children.
The remaining Chunque is still Zhou Yunshu's personal maid, Liang Laosan and Huzi are hired guards, as is Luo Xiaoshan. Only Uncle He is left out.
When Uncle He saw Hu Zi and the others coming out of the main hall with stiff faces, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but when he walked into the main hall and saw Zhou Yunshu dressed in women's clothes, his expression was as if he was struck by lightning.
She turned out to be a woman.
"Uncle He, why are you here?"
Uncle He looked at Zhou Yunshu's face and took a deep breath silently, suppressing the depression in his chest. He said, "To be with you, I must have an identity. I want to be the accountant of the Wu family."
"good."
Two horse-drawn carriages, three mule-drawn carts and two mules were all their means of transportation.
When she left, Zhou Yunshu left fifty taels of gold to the family where she was staying.
She dared to give so much because Li Jialan lived well during the few days she stayed in their house, and they were old acquaintances of Luo Xiaoshan, Yan Shilei and others. If Luo Xiaoshan had not brought people here, in today's world, they would never have kept so many strangers in their home.
So these fifty taels are what they deserve.
After leaving this small mountain village, Zhou Yunshu and her group did not stop along the way except for resting at night.
Fortunately, after crossing the territory of Wolong Mountain, Luzhou was not as chaotic as before. Otherwise, even if there were four or five burly men in their team now, they still could not stop others from coveting them.
After three days of travel, when they were about to reach the provincial capital, there were finally more pedestrians on the road, and there were even tea shops on the roadside for people to rest.
It was noon at this time, and Zhou Yunshu and her group decided to have lunch here, inquire about some information, and then rush to the provincial capital in one breath.
Many travelers stop by the teahouse. In addition to tea, they also sell tea eggs and pickles made by the shop itself.
There was a square table. After Mr. Xue sat down, there was no room left after Wu Yue, Li Jialan and the children sat down.
Li Jialan wanted to give her seat to Zhou Yunshu, but Zhou Yunshu held her shoulders and refused. She stood by with a veil on her head, listening attentively to the gossip of the passengers next to her.
The table closest to them should be the merchants, with the goods they were going to take to the capital city placed at their feet.
"Fortunately, we arrived in time, otherwise we would have missed Princess Yuyang's birthday."
"Haha, what does Princess Yuyang's birthday have to do with us common people? Could she possibly invite us to the Yang Mansion as guests?"
"It's hard to say. Everyone knows that Princess Yuyang appreciates extraordinary people the most. Who knows, if I use my unique skills, I might actually become Princess Yuyang's lover."
After this person finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.
"Just look at your own squashed face!" The man in silk clothes sitting in the upper left corner said disdainfully, "Everyone knows that Princess Yuyang almost fell out with her family in order to marry Lord Yang."
"Princess Yuyang and Lord Yang are a match made in heaven..."
Zhou Yunshu was enjoying the gossip, but she heard Uncle He next to her make a mocking "huh" after the man said the words "a match made in heaven".
