Chapter 540 Separation from the Lu Family
Shu Yu nodded and hummed in agreement.
"You too, the climate in the southwest is very changeable, so please take care to keep warm and don't get sick."
Lu Erbai smiled and said, "I know."
The father and daughter talked for a while longer before reluctantly saying goodbye.
The next day, after packing up, the Lu family still followed the exile procession. After following for two hours, they finally caught a glimpse of Shu Yu from afar, turned the car around, and drove off on another road.
As they walked further and further away, Zhao Xi felt a little reluctant to part with them.
"From now on, it'll just be the two of us keeping each other company again. Sigh, I'll have to endure the elements with you again."
Zhao Xi felt sorry for himself; A-Yun was utterly heartless. When it was just the two of them, they would make do as they could, completely disregarding food, clothing, and shelter.
It's different when there are family members around. No matter what, there's always a place to rest and shelter from the wind and rain.
Therefore, Zhao Xi really enjoys traveling with the Lu family. Despite being such a large family, everyone in the Lu family has their own division of labor and each person does one thing, making things very easy for Zhao Xi.
At least, you don't have to worry about food; water and food are prepared for you along the way.
When we get bored, we can chat and tell stories to Da Hu and San Ya. We even stop at noon to get some hot food to eat, it's really no different from a picnic or outing.
Now that the entire Lu family is gone, the days of suffering and hardship are about to begin again.
For example, now he's driving the carriage again. Before, it was those bodyguards who drove the carriage; he would occasionally rest in the carriage and sometimes ride a horse.
Meng Yunzheng ignored his grumbling and simply lifted the carriage curtain to look outside.
After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Let's stop the car up ahead. It's lunchtime, let's grab something to eat."
"Whoa." Zhao Xi immediately pulled on the reins and stopped beside him.
Meng Yunzheng got out of the car and took out today's meals.
Zhao Xi beamed with joy. Thankfully, today's food was prepared by the Lu family before they left. Although it was a bit cold, it could be quickly heated up on the stove.
Zhao Xi very conscientiously took the stove off the carriage and squatted down to start a fire.
Meng Yunzheng looked around, then untied the reins of the carriage and led the horses over to graze.
When Zhao Xi had heated the dishes up enough, he called out to him, and Zhao Xi led his horse back.
"We can still eat rice and vegetables today, but tomorrow we'll have to eat steamed buns and flatbread again. We have to cherish this time. Here, this is yours, you..."
Before Zhao Xi could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a 'tap tap tap' sound.
He turned his head and saw a fine horse galloping towards them, with a man carrying a satchel on his back riding it. The horse was rushing towards them at breakneck speed.
Upon seeing Zhao Xi and Meng Yunzheng ahead, the man waved and shouted, "Make way, make way, people in front, make way!"
Meng Yunzheng immediately stopped the horse, while Zhao Xi was a step slower. By the time he reacted, the horse was already right in front of him.
He only had time to take two steps back before he threw the pot in his hand, which crashed to the ground with a 'thud,' spilling the food all over the floor and wasting it all.
Zhao Xi was on the verge of tears. He turned his head and glared fiercely at the man and horse that had already galloped away. Taking advantage of the fact that the other party could not hear him, he cursed at his back, "Can't you ride a horse? The official road is over there. What's with you crashing into me?"
