Wan Zhenwen wiped the sweat from his forehead and echoed,
"Yes, Dad, Mom is right. It's raining in the capital. Why are we going to the northwest?"
"Besides, if it doesn't rain in the northwest, we'll die of thirst on our way there."
"And if we run away, there's no turning back..."
He was increasingly unable to understand his father.
He had said before that there was no water to drink in the capital, so he was asked to take his mother and grandmother to the farm to take shelter.
As a result, there was no water at the farm either, so he had to go back to the capital every day to wait for his father to get water from other places.
He said he wanted to take his family back to the capital to avoid wasting energy running back and forth every day.
His father would never agree.
Early this morning, his father suddenly brought Zheng Shiqi and his wife to the village and asked them to change into ordinary people's clothes and follow him to the northwest, saying that it was raining in the northwest.
There was no problem running to the northwest, he also wanted to go to a place with plenty of water, but what the hell was he doing with Zheng Shiqi and his wife?
Wan Zhenwen's daughter-in-law was breathing heavily, her eyes full of incomprehension.
She didn't want to join her husband in contradicting her father-in-law, but she also agreed with what her mother-in-law and husband said.
She hadn't heard that it was raining in the northwest, but it looked like it was going to rain in the capital.
They had only been walking for over an hour, and the soles of her feet were already aching.
The road was full of stones of all sizes, which hurt the soles of her feet.
If she continues walking like this, her feet will not be able to bear it anymore.
“Grandpa, Zhier is thirsty!”
Wan Xingzhi licked his cracked lips and looked at Wan Yuandong pitifully.
Wan Yuandong frowned and looked at his family members who were full of complaints, then lowered his head to glance at his grandson who was pulling at the corner of his clothes.
He took out the only half-full water bag from his bag and gave Wan Xingzhi a sip.
Then he took a sip himself.
Wan Yuandong looked at his family and handed the water bag to his mother on the cart.
"Mom, drink some water!"
"Each of you take a sip to quench your thirst first."
Old Mrs. Wan raised her dry branch-like hand and took the water bag.
Everyone else's eyes were focused on the water bag. Looking at Old Lady Wan drinking water, they couldn't help but pursed their cracked lips.
Wan Yuandong looked at his family members seriously.
"I'm telling you, there's no turning back."
"If we go back now, we'll all die."
"If anyone doesn't want to leave and wants to go back and die, go back now..."
Wan Yuandong looked at his silent family and continued,
"When I said it was raining in the northwest, I meant it for sure. If I didn't go to the northwest, I'd be dead."
"I don't care what you choose..."
"Get out of the way!" Wan Yuandong walked to the front of the cart with a dark face, took the rope from Wan Zhenwen and hung it on himself.
"I'll pull it myself!"
"Dad, I'll do it, I'll do it." Wan Zhenwen came to his senses and quickly took the rope off Wan Yuandong and put it on himself.
"Father, I will listen to you and go wherever you say."
"Call me daddy!" Wan Yuandong looked at Wan Zhenwen with a dark face.
Wan Zhenwen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Dad."
Wan Yuandong didn't even look at his wife, and walked directly to his daughter-in-law.
"Fang, you go to the back and push the cart, I'll pull it!"
Mrs. Wan stared at Wan Yuandong blankly. Unable to bear the murderous look in her father-in-law's eyes, she pursed her lips and handed the rope around her body to Wan Yuandong.
"Set off!"
Wan Yuandong didn't even look at his wife, and continued walking towards Guangfeng City with his son, pulling the cart.
How could he possibly tell his family about the Xiao family's affairs? He was afraid that they would scream out in surprise and be heard by someone with ulterior motives.
Who knows if there are any palace guards lying in ambush nearby?
After all, when the emperor travels, safety is always ensured.
The guards saw them but did not arrest them because there was no order from Emperor Wu of Liang.
If the hidden guards heard about the Xiao family's affairs, who knows whether one of them would risk interrupting the rain-praying ceremony and run to Emperor Wu of Liang to inform on him in order to win credit.
The affairs of the Xiao family were a big deal to Emperor Wu of Liang.
The key point is that even if he told his family about the Xiao family, they would not believe it.
He wasted time explaining it.
"Mother~" Fang walked to Madam Wan and held her arm.
"Let's go~"
Madam Wan sighed heavily in anger.
Looking at Wan Yuandong pulling the cart with his butt sticking out, she pursed her lips helplessly.
She always felt that the old man was hiding something from her.
Otherwise, why would the master suddenly want to go to the northwest for no reason?
The key point is that the master didn’t say which city in the northwest we were going to.
Please tell me which city in the northwest is raining.
She looked at Wan Yuandong's anxious expression, as if he was rushing to the northwest to find someone.
There isn't much rain in the south, so why do you want to go to the northwest? Who are there in the northwest?
Thinking of this, Madam Wan's pupils trembled.
Northwest-----It seems that her daughter went to the Northwest after escaping with Xiao Yunzhan's family.
Could it be----
"Let's go~"
Mrs. Wan frowned irritably, holding her grandson's hand and supported by her daughter-in-law, she walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow...
