Chapter 32 Midnight



Wang Shiyu discovered in the past two days that even when she slept with an eye mask, her body was not very comfortable. In particular, although there was no sunlight shining on her body, she always felt uncomfortable sleeping in the daytime, and she seemed to have some problems in her heart. The long daytime hours were really torturous.

In the past two days, more refugees have arrived. Because the road was full of cracks due to the earthquake, and gullies formed in some places, it is not very convenient to walk on the road. If you encounter a large gully, you need to take a detour.

After the old man waited until Wang Yizu's injuries allowed him to move normally and he no longer felt pain, he decided to set off immediately and not stay here for long, because someone must have reported the things on the mountain, and within two days someone from the court would come to seal off the Thousand Gates Formation and try to keep all these things.

The old man's guess was not wrong. The mayor of Qianmen Town had already reported the matter to the county government. When the county government heard that the achievement would belong to them, they happily found someone in the court. Instead of taking the expedited route, they chose the path of the prime minister's disciples. Now, according to the process, they have already received the fruits and medicinal materials he sent expeditedly. The prime minister was about to show off in front of the emperor about what happened in Qianmen Town.

You know, this sudden earthquake made the emperor panic for a long time, because only the emperor who was not recognized by God would be beset by natural disasters and man-made disasters. He had been on the throne for several years, and now an earthquake suddenly occurred. All the legitimate children in his son's family were in trouble. How could he not be afraid?

How could he not be afraid? Normally, a situation like this would require a self-criticism edict, but he didn't want to do so. So, the blessed land that Prime Minister Liu had suddenly given him was a good excuse. Prime Minister Liu was bound to get a piece of the action first, so before reporting to the court, he had already sent people to the mountains behind Qianmen Town to pick and buy the exotic flowers and fruits from the villagers.

Who wouldn't want to keep this good stuff in their hands? And it actually has such a good therapeutic effect after taking it.

The county magistrate in charge of Qianmen Town always has a grin on his face when he sleeps. If a blessed land appears in the town under his jurisdiction, he will be transferred back to Jinling immediately and he will become rich.

That night, Prime Minister Liu ate one. After that, he had sex with his concubine in her room. When he woke up in the morning, he didn't feel tired at all. He understood the benefits of this thing, so naturally he wanted to get a share of it before the emperor.

He did not report this matter directly to the emperor, but chose to delay it for three days before reporting it to the emperor.

When the emperor learned about this place, he immediately sent the Embroidered Uniform Guard to Qianmen Town to block the mountain. As for the wild beasts on the mountain, the emperor figured out that as long as they were not provoked, the beasts would not attack humans.

The emperor believed that he was appointed by heaven and that no disaster would happen to him. He believed that the current natural disasters were meant to make this sacred mountain appear better and benefit the people.

Before these people came, the old man and his family had packed up their things and were about to leave. The Zhang family needed to stay for two more days as they had not yet recovered.

However, Zhang Tao knew that biting off more than he could chew was a good idea. One day after the Wang family team set out, he discussed with the officials and decided to set out as well. Even if they could pick more now, what would be the point? They couldn't take it away.

The officials naturally understood this, so they stopped in time and left quickly, because they were all worried that the court would send people to take over this place, and of course they had to hand over the things they picked from the mountain. If they didn't, it would bring disaster to the whole clan.

For the sake of their own lives and the lives of their families, they would of course leave this place as quickly as possible, so when they set out on the road, they all sped up and walked forward. Even if they encountered a ravine in front and took a short detour, they did not stop their pace.

Wang Shiyu's family didn't walk so fast because her second uncle was injured. Now her father was the only one pulling the cart. Even though there was only one child in the cart, walking in such hot weather was really a torture. They had to walk for the sake of their lives.

But on the way out of Qianmen Town, they even met people coming from the opposite side. It seemed that the news that a green mountain suddenly appeared in Qianmen Town and there was water and food in it had spread out somehow, so many refugees and people who couldn't survive all rushed to Qianmen Town.

Although I don’t know what will happen to Qianmen Town in the future, as long as this mountain is there, it will soon develop into a city.

The weather was too hot, so they couldn't walk during the day and could only rest on the side of the road. The eight members of their family were wearing tattered clothes, but they were relatively clean.

Wang Shiyu sat by the roadside and watched the large group of people heading towards Qianmen Town. Because their carts only had a piece of wood and nothing else, and the little food in their arms was not even enough to fill their teeth, no one had any intention of targeting their family.

Who told them there were better things ahead? That's why no one wanted to take them. Otherwise, even if it was their meat, it would still be considered a kind of material.

Because Wang Shiyu had heard the word "two-legged sheep" more than once on this road.

Maybe others don’t know what two-legged sheep means, but she understands it better than anyone else.

The two-legged sheep is definitely a human being. If the things happening in Qianmen Town had not attracted them, the Wang family would definitely not have been able to escape. Even if Wang Shiyu was more capable, it would have been impossible for her to put her family members into the space, because her space could not accommodate other people.

In order to make the journey easier, Wang Shiyu found the tattered clothes that she had thrown into the space. Second Aunt and Grandma took these tattered clothes and began to sew them on themselves, trying their best to make their clothes look less neat. As long as they were tattered enough, no one would have any ideas about them. As for Wang Shiyi, they had hidden her in the backpack.

Whenever someone passed by, they would shove him in and stop him from making any sound. They didn't think they had the ability to defeat thousands of people.

Watching these people walking by, Wang Shiyu noticed that the leader's eyes were looking back and forth at him, as if he was looking at merchandise, wanting to see how much it could be sold for. However, there was a bigger treasure in front of them, so they did not take Wang Shiyu away.
