Chapter 12: They're all using each other
Su Nuan was a little panicked at this moment. She had collected so many things, how come they were all gone?
She looked at the river in the distance and ran towards it on the grass.
However, before reaching the river, Su Nuan was bounced back by an invisible force, falling flat on her face.
She quickly got up and walked forward carefully, only to come across a transparent barrier. It was really annoying that the river was so close but she couldn't get water.
She couldn't care less about the river at the moment. Su Nuan turned back and searched carefully in the house this time to see if there was an entrance to the cellar.
Finally, she saw a golden circle next to the dressing table in the house. She hesitated for a moment and then stood on it.
She only felt a flash before her eyes, and the next moment she appeared in a huge warehouse where the things she had collected before were placed.
After seeing the real thing, Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief and her heart was at ease.
She scanned the area and found that fabrics, food, and furniture were all automatically categorized.
The retracted shelves are neatly placed against the wall, and the items placed on them are clearly visible.
Su Nuan scratched his head and muttered to himself, "I remember closing the house. Where is that house?"
After searching around, Su Nuan finally saw a few mini houses on the shelves. It turned out that the houses became small models when they were put away. This space was amazing.
She was full of doubts, and finally took the pots and pans, the charcoal stove and the clay pot and left the space.
A few stars have appeared in the sky outside, but these stars are faintly glowing red, which is an ominous sign.
Su Nuan suddenly remembered the weather in her previous life. On the third day after leaving the town, there would be continuous heavy rain, which would last for a full month before stopping.
In such heavy rain, it is difficult to walk, let alone ride a carriage.
Finally, the big guy found a cave in the mountains to live in and survived by eating grass roots and tree bark.
Many of them caught colds, and the weak ones died directly. In the end, the officers and soldiers cut off their ears and abandoned their bodies in the wilderness.
Su Nuan was carrying a sack on his back, feeling very heavy-hearted. Although he had collected so many things, there were no ordinary medicinal herbs. He couldn't just eat ginseng when he caught a cold.
This town was built for the purpose of exiling criminals, so there is no pharmacy here and you can't buy medicinal herbs at all.
She sighed. Fortunately, there were many medicinal herbs for treating colds. She would see if she could collect some on the way.
So she walked back slowly with the things on her back. When the soldier at the door saw her coming back, he immediately said, "Miss Su, this is what our leader asked you to do."
Su Nuan took the thing wrapped in linen suspiciously. She didn't open it and smiled, "Thank you very much."
She did not open it in front of anyone, but carried the things into the inn.
The people in the yard huddled together. They didn't know that sleeping in the open air was easy, and the road ahead would be cruel.
She walked through the alley and returned to her residence. As soon as she entered, she saw her mother-in-law pacing around the house, as if she was worried about her late return.
Her heart warmed and she smiled, "I'm back."
Upon hearing this, Xue trotted over, looked Su Nuan up and down, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.
She complained, "It's dark now. I want to go find you, but they won't let me go out."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "I wasted time shopping. Mom, please take a look and see if there's anything missing. I'll go buy it tomorrow morning."
Only then did Xue notice that Su Nuan was carrying a large sack. She was shocked and asked, "How come you are so strong?"
Su Nuan also felt that this matter was magical and could not be explained clearly, so it was better not to explain it.
She lowered her head and opened the thing Cheng Feng had given her. It turned out to be a hardwood dagger. This kind of wood was no worse than iron. As long as it was not used to chop stones, cutting vegetables and meat would be no problem.
Su Nuan was not happy about this because the dagger was given to her by Cheng Feng. The purpose of giving her the dagger was to let her get rid of the person who was riding on his head.
There is no good in this world without reason, it's all just mutual use.
She handed the dagger to Xue, "Mother, take it. This can protect you."
"From now on, we should all be more unkempt, so as not to be noticed by others."
Xue pushed the dagger back and said, "Mother is already old, but you, a beautiful girl, need this for self-defense."
Su Nuan forcefully thrust the dagger into Xue's hands and said sternly, "Mother, I am strong. Ordinary people can't do anything to me. You take it."
Seeing that Su Nuan was serious, Mrs. Xue smiled gratefully and said, "No need, mother. You can take it."
If I were insulted, I would rather die than bang my head against a wall. Now that I have a dagger, I feel much more at ease.
But the safety of her daughter-in-law is more important, so she still doesn't want to accept it.
Su Nuan saw her concerns and took out a copper flat hairpin from her arms. This thing could be very sharp after being polished.
"Mom, I have this, don't worry about me."
Only then did Xue nod with relief. With Su Nuan's great strength and this flat hairpin, ordinary men were no match for her.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Mother, there will be a donkey cart tomorrow. You can take your grandmother and sister to ride in the cart and take care of your husband. You are not allowed to refuse."
Xue opened her mouth to retort, but she felt she still had the strength to walk.
However, Su Nuan anticipated Xue's words and saw her say, "Mother, listen to me. This is not a normal exile. Cheng Feng wants you to get to the destination alive. As for how you get there, he doesn't care."
"Besides, the journey is very turbulent. We have to take good care of ourselves. If we get sick, we will be a burden to the whole family."
Xue frowned and expressed her suggestion, "Although my mother is a woman, she has been practicing martial arts and keeping fit since she was young. How can a delicate lady like you travel such a long distance?"
Su Nuan pointed helplessly at the sack on the ground: "Mom, go pick it up and try."
Xue walked over with a look of suspicion on her face and reached out to pick up the sack, but she failed to lift it after trying three times.
Su Nuan said with some pride: "Mom, actually after my mother passed away, my grandfather was afraid that I would be bullied, so he sent someone to teach me kung fu secretly, so you don't have to worry about me."
Xue knew that Su Nuan's maternal grandparents were wealthy, and it would be easy for them to send someone to teach Su Nuan kung fu, so she finally nodded with relief.
"Okay, but you can't just sit in the car all the time. You have to move around a bit."
Seeing that she was no longer hesitant, Su Nuan smiled and said, "Mom, just listen to my arrangements from now on. I will make sure that you have a comfortable life along the way."
Xue didn't feel that she could live comfortably, but seeing that her daughter-in-law was cheerful and optimistic, she felt a lot more relieved.
Su Nuan took out a candle and lit it, then reached into the sack and took out an oilcloth bag. When she opened it, she found twenty meat buns inside.
These buns were collected from the Su Mansion and are still slightly warm when they are taken out.
Mrs. Xue took out two buns and gave them to Su Nuan. "Eat them quickly. We'll eat the rest tomorrow morning. We just ate some dried meat and we're not hungry yet."
Su Nuan didn't refuse and took it and ate it. At this time, she couldn't do things like pushing it back and forth and wasting time.
In order not to waste light, Xue extinguished the candle when she saw Su Nuan finish eating and find a place to sit down.
Before dawn the next day, there was a rapid sound of gongs outside. It was the officers and soldiers urging everyone to get up and set off.
Su Nuan opened her eyes and saw Xue hugging Tuantuan and wiping her tears. Her heart tightened. What happened to her aunt?
