Jiang Yu didn't expect those people to actually dare to investigate him, but looking at everyone's expressions, he felt quite confident.
"I'll go take a look. You guys get familiar with your new identities, so you don't give yourselves away later."
As soon as Jiang Yu left, they quickly put down their burdens and began to familiarize themselves with their new identities. The names... were all easy to remember.
Shen Zhiheng became Wang Tieniu, Shen Yunqi became Wang Dazhuang, and Luo Qi'an went from being a son-in-law to being a son, Wang Erzhuang...
Shen Xingmian almost burst out laughing. Her father, who looked as frail as a willow in the wind compared to others, was actually Erzhuang.
That's the charm of unexpected cuteness, hahaha.
My maternal aunt's new name is Liu Guihua, my mother is Li Hehua, my older cousin is Wang Xiaohu, my older cousin is Wang Xiaotian, I am Wang Xiaomian, and Xiao Yanyue is my youngest sister Wang Xiaoyue.
The whole family is so rustic, yet they all look so good together, and no one can look down on anyone else.
The group of people looked at each other, unsure how to evaluate their new identities, but since forging travel documents was not easy, no one would bother with such a thing.
"Pack your things and let's go out on our own, otherwise we don't know how long they'll keep searching," Chen Yunting—no, Li Hehua—suggested.
Everyone nodded, packed their belongings, and the women and children got into the two carriages, while the men led the horses from outside.
Shen Zhiheng, this "iron ox" who seemed about to collapse with the slightest breeze, naturally also got into the carriage.
The name paired with her maternal grandfather made Shen Xingmian want to burst out laughing whenever she thought about it, but she had to hold it in and absolutely not laugh!
Before he even reached the gate, he saw two groups of soldiers rushing in with weapons, blocking the entrance. Jiang Yu stood to the side indifferently, letting them do as they pleased.
Luo Qi'an stepped forward, coughed twice, and then said weakly:
"Sir, what does this mean? Our family came out of the mountains to find a doctor for my father, but unfortunately we were caught in a downpour. Luckily, the owner of this villa was kind and took us in for the night."
The weather has finally cleared up, and we didn't dare disturb your sister any longer. We were just about to leave for the prefectural city to see a doctor when the official stopped us common folk!"
After saying that, he coughed weakly twice.
Shen Yunting lifted the carriage curtain, glanced out with a sickly expression, and then asked in a panic, "Master, what's going on? Why are the officials stopping us?"
By the end, her voice was trembling with tears, clearly indicating that she had been quite frightened.
Shen Xingmian secretly gave her mother a thumbs up. With such quick-witted acting skills, she wouldn't have to be afraid of any checks or inspections along the way.
Looking out through the crack, Shen Xingmian clearly saw a fleeting look of shock in Uncle Jiang Yu's eyes. This must be the first time he'd ever seen his mother like this.
Haha, the filter is finally going to shatter!
Luo Qi'an, who plays Wang Erzhuang, slowly turned around and comforted her, "Wife, you're not feeling well. Don't be exposed to the wind. Go back and stay here. I'll take care of things here."
After saying that, he slowly turned back and looked honestly at the leading officer.
A clear look of disdain flashed in the man's eyes. This family looked sickly and useless; he wondered how they had managed to buy a carriage.
Although it was a dilapidated second-hand carriage, it didn't look like something they could own. Could it be rented?
Seeing the officials staring intently at his carriage and horses, Luo Qi'an scratched his head sheepishly.
"Sir, we rented this carriage in town. It was very expensive, charged by the day. We can't afford to delay any longer. If there's nothing wrong, could you please let us go to the prefectural city to find a doctor as soon as possible?"
It really was rented.
“Why did you bring so many people with you when you went to see a doctor? Families and all. You look like escaped criminals. To me, something is very wrong with these people.”
Another officer stepped forward and shouted.
Then he leaned close to the leader's ear and whispered, "That little prince can't stand up or walk. Let all the children get out of the carriage and walk a few steps. If they don't have leg problems, then it's definitely not them."
The man thought it made a lot of sense and immediately repeated what his subordinate had said.
Shen Xingmian urgently transferred some of his supernatural power to Xiao Yanyue's feet, allowing him to walk a few steps without any problem. As long as those people didn't pull up his trouser legs to look, they would never notice anything wrong.
Xiao Yanyue had just woken up, and her little brain worked quickly, so she immediately understood the situation outside.
He knew he could stand up, but he hadn't been able to get up for so long that he was a little lost.
Shen Xingmian roughly understands this mentality. When it comes to rehabilitation for patients who have been in wheelchairs for a long time, not only their physical condition but also their psychological condition must be considered.
Some people are convinced that they can't get up, so even if their legs are healed, they still can't walk.
It takes a long time of training and overcoming difficulties to slowly get back on his feet.
So she jumped off the carriage first, turned to her "little sister" and encouraged her: "Little sister, don't be afraid, I'll catch you. The officials just want us to get off and walk around a bit. Even if you're sick, you can still walk around. Come on, come here."
Shen Xingyan also got off the carriage behind and, seeing the situation, said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, your older sister is here to help you!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his arms and took Xiao Yanyue from Shen Yunting's hands, placing her on the ground.
She had no idea who Xiao Yanyue was, nor did she know that he had injured his legs, so her behavior was completely natural and without any restraint.
Xiao Yanyue staggered, and Shen Xingmian immediately went over to support her, gently coaxing, "Little sister, don't be afraid. Once we get to the prefectural city and you see a doctor, you'll get better and won't be so weak anymore."
She attributed his unnatural staggering to "lack of strength."
The officer who gave the suggestion said to the leader, "Boss, it doesn't look like it. The little prince's injury is so bad that he can't even stand up, let alone put his feet on the ground."
The leader nodded, confirming that it was indeed the case. Moreover, all three women in the family were plain-looking villagers, bearing no resemblance to the people from the General's Mansion.
"Alright, you can go now, but,"
He turned to Jiang Yu and said politely, "Young General Jiang, although we have offended you, we are acting on orders and still have to go to the inner courtyard to check."
After saying that, he directed the people behind him to leave a few to guard the gate, while the others went to the backyard together.
Luo Qi'an nodded his thanks to Jiang Yu, carried the children back into the carriage, and then led the carriage out.
Once outside, he nimbly jumped onto the edge of the carriage, gently spurred the horse, and drove the carriage onto the main road.
Shen Yunqi followed in his carriage, and the two slightly worn carriages left the villa where they had briefly stayed, heading towards a more distant place.
No matter how dangerous the road ahead may be, they are not afraid. They have already taken the most difficult step, haven't they?
