"I, I don't know what's going on."
Yunniang didn't want this to happen, but her body was out of her control. She felt tired and uncomfortable.
Li Si gave the bag on his back to his brother and asked him to carry it for a while while he squatted down.
"Come up."
Yunniang hesitated for two seconds and slowly climbed onto the man's back.
Li Rui noticed his little cousin's behavior and clicked his tongue in his heart. It's different when a newlywed is married. He is still willing to pamper his wife at this time.
Li Rui's wife nudged him with her elbow and said, "Learn from this."
“I can’t learn it.”
"Hmph." Li Rui's wife snorted in dissatisfaction.
Li Si's mother saw this and felt sorry for her son. She looked at her daughter-in-law with an unfriendly look, "Ah Si, your shoes are so worn out. Aren't you worried when you walk on the road?"
Yunniang understood that her mother-in-law was pointing a finger at her.
She quickly patted her husband's shoulder and said, "Husband, put me down quickly."
Seeing that his mother looked unhappy, Li Si let the man go.
"Mom, Yunniang has sore calves, so I..." Li Si began to explain.
Li Erbo Niang snorted coldly, "That's strange, why haven't I heard her say that before? Today, I saw other people's carriages, and my calves started to ache. Since it hurts so much that you can't walk, why don't you go to the front and ask if they are willing to let you ride in the carriage?"
Yunniang was so embarrassed by her mother-in-law's criticism that she lowered her head and dared not say a word.
How could she be so shameless as to go over and ask for a seat? There were a lot of people there and they all took turns riding the bus, so there was no vacant seat for her.
The fact that we can go with them now is because of Li Rui's family's request. If we make them unhappy and they don't want us to go with us, we will become a sinner.
She would never dare to do such a thing.
Although she married into the Li family, she was not a member of the Li family. She had to rely on her husband for everything and live according to the wishes of her parents-in-law. How could she not distinguish the important from the unimportant?
My calves were so sore just now that I asked my husband to carry me on his back so that I could have a rest and relieve the pain.
"Mom, please stop talking." Li Si stopped her and held his wife's hand with heartache.
Seeing that the boy was so useless, Li Er's mother-in-law glared at him and ignored the young couple.
Seeing that his mother didn't care, Li Si squatted down again and urged, "Yunniang, get on. I'll carry you for another walk."
"No." Yunniang didn't dare.
"Hurry up." Li Si said with a stern face, pulling her up forcefully.
The group walked about thirty miles and it was getting dark. They found a decent place and set up camp to rest.
After a day's walk, everyone was exhausted, but the adults and children still had to work.
Su Baozhu led Xiao Taohua, Xiao Yanggui and their children into the edge of the woods to collect firewood, while Su Yin built a fire stove.
There was a dried-up river on one side of the official road. Su Yin, Xu Niangzi and others went to the river to pick up some stones and build a simple stove.
Madam Xu was walking in front, and just as she reached the river, she let out a cry of surprise.
“Ouch!”
Everyone was shocked and rushed forward, and saw several corpses in the dry riverbed.
They should have seen corpses before and should not be so scared, but the corpses in the riverbed died tragically. Most of them had their heads separated, and one or two were even cut in half.
Flies and insects were buzzing and a foul smell was overwhelming.
Su Yin merely frowned at the horrific corpses in front of her, but the clothes they wore made her feel nervous.
The clothes these people wore were not ordinary styles, they were all official styles, unlike the uniforms of officers and soldiers.
She had too little knowledge of the Dayong Dynasty to recognize it, but that didn't stop her from asking people.
Su Yin said to Madam Xu and the others, "Go pick up stones somewhere far away, don't come here."
Even without Su Yin's order, they would not dare to take stones here.
Su Yin and the others picked up a few stones and returned to the camp.
After arriving at the camp, Su Yin asked her second cousin Yang Hua to help pick up some stones, and went to look for Nan Jingzhi by herself.
When Master Wan San saw the girl running towards Nan Jingzhi, he smelled an unusual scent. He quickly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and followed her.
Nan Jingzhi was sitting on a big rock, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, fanning himself out of boredom.
When he saw Su Yin and Fatty Wan coming over, his eyes lit up.
"What's up?"
Su Yin nodded.
Nan Jingzhi didn't stand up, but only asked, "Is it far?"
It's too far and he doesn't want to walk.
Walking every day was unbearable for anyone, and even riding in a carriage was unbearable for him.
If it wasn't for his life, he wouldn't have suffered so much.
"Not far, just in the riverbed ahead."
Nan Jingzhi took a glance and felt that the distance was neither far nor near.
"Is it urgent?"
"critical."
Nan Jingzhi then stood up reluctantly and said, "Let's go."
Zhang Bingliang saw the three people walking towards the riverbed, said something to his father, and followed them.
Li Rui was helping his family fix up the place where they would rest at night. Li Rui's father saw what was going on over there and poked him with his elbow.
"Brother Rui, go over and take a look. See if they need anything?"
Li Rui looked in the direction his father knew, and saw Su Yin and his group walking towards the riverbed.
"Dad, they don't need anything at first glance."
Li Rui knew very well that they were one body. Now that they were heading over there, it might be that several families had something to discuss. It would be inappropriate for him to get involved.
"You are usually quite smart, but why are you so stupid now? You don't even have a brain. It's okay for you to go over and ask. We are following them now, and if they have any ideas or plans, we have to get involved. We can't be completely ignorant."
Li Rui was naturally aware of this, but it would not be good to leave without being invited since he had just joined today.
If they wanted to discuss things, they would naturally call them.
Under the urging of Li Rui's father, Li Rui had to get up.
He jogged to catch up with the four men.
"Su Yin, my father asked me to ask if you are in any trouble?" Li Rui said implicitly.
The people present were all smart people, they all understood it and didn't care.
"It's nothing, I just found something. It would be nice if you could come over and take a look." Su Yin said.
Seeing that they were not angry, Li Rui slowly let go of his worries and said, "Okay."
The five of them walked to the riverbed together. Su Yin had seen this before and was very calm, but the others were not so calm, especially Li Rui and Zhang Bingliang. They were so disgusted by the scene that their stomachs were churning.
The two wanted to vomit, but seeing that the others were very calm, they held it back. They endured the nausea and watched the bloody scene.
After the initial shock, Nan Jingzhi's expression became solemn.
