Because Feng Xujie joined in, the night vigil became easier.
Yes, even though they already knew something about the fleeing team in Dujiacun, they still did not dare to leave their safety in the hands of the people in Dujiacun at night.
Before going to bed at night, Chunque spread a thick straw mat on the ground, and then together with Zhou Yunshu, they propped up the oilcloth and placed it on top of the straw mat like a half-open triangular pyramid.
Li Jialan and Fang Huiwen slept here with their three children, while Zhou Yunshu and Xixi slept in the set-up carriage, while Chunque stood guard outside the carriage.
Tonight, Chunque and Feng Xujie took turns keeping vigil.
Zhou Yunshu and Xixi did not sleep immediately after entering the carriage.
When Zhou Yunshu saw the baggage that Wei Zhong brought to Feng Xujie tonight, she suddenly thought of the baggage that Ji Sheng had prepared for their daughter Xixi when they left Prince Wei's Mansion.
Since leaving the palace, one thing has happened after another. Zhou Yunshu has no time to open the baggage prepared by Ji Sheng to see what is inside.
Thinking of it now, Zhou Yunshu found the baggage from her own space.
In order to prevent it from being lost, Zhou Yunshu kept it in the bamboo building in the space.
The light in the carriage was very dark, and Xixi, who was sitting next to Zhou Yunshu, only saw her mother touch from the corner and take out a familiar baggage.
"It's the burden prepared by father...mother for Xixi!"
Zhou Yunshu choked up when she heard Xixi calling Ji Sheng's mother, but she didn't correct her in case the little guy accidentally spilled the beans later.
"Yes, daddy will open it and see what's inside."
Zhou Yunshu has become very involved in her role as mother-turned-father.
The crimson bag was opened and contained Xixi's clothes and shoes and socks. However, the material of the clothes was too conspicuous, so Zhou Yunshu did not intend to wear them for Xixi.
In addition to the clothes, there was also a long box. When the box was opened, it contained a thick ginseng, which looked to be at least two hundred years old.
Next to the box containing ginseng was a box wrapped in navy blue silk. This box was the size of Zhou Yunshu's three palms. The first layer was a row of twelve taels of silver ingots; the second layer was gold ingots; and the third layer was still Gold ingot.
Not only that, even the lid of the box was filled with ten banknotes, each with a denomination of five thousand taels.
To be honest, Zhou Yunshu felt a little complicated when she saw what Ji Sheng had prepared for their daughter, but she did not regret that she emptied the palace's warehouse when she left.
Most of it was originally her dowry. As for the rest, it was treated as Zhou Yunshu's own property after their divorce.
The last thing in the bag was a letter.
Before opening it, Zhou Yunshu thought a lot about what Ji Sheng would say in this letter; after opening it, Zhou Yunshu looked at the place names in the letter and the names corresponding to the place names and remained silent.
"Dad?" Xixi shouted looking at Zhou Yunshu who had been staring at Xin without speaking.
Zhou Yunshu exhaled a breath, repackaged the letter and the contents in the bag and put them away.
"Go to sleep."
Zhou Yunshu hugged Xixi and lay down, gently patting Xixi to coax her to sleep, but she herself was not sleepy at all.
Before getting married, Zhou Yunshu and Ji Sheng had only met four or five times, and the two of them spoke only a handful of times each time.
After getting married, Zhou Yunshu thought that the relationship between her and Ji Sheng could be regarded as a respectful one. Except for errands, Ji Sheng would always stay in the main courtyard.
Zhou Yunshu was generally very satisfied with her husband. Except for sometimes Ji Sheng's excessive demands for sexual intercourse, the two of them had almost no conflicts.
Zhou Yunshu couldn't help grinding her teeth when she thought about sex.
This bitch was cold and serious during the day, but he wanted to die on her at night.
"Daddy~"
Zhou Yunshu came back to her senses and looked at Xixi in her arms, "What's wrong?"
"There are rats."
Zhou Yunshu:......
"Don't be afraid, daddy will run away."
Zhou Yunshu stroked her daughter's little face and laughed at herself for thinking too much.
From the moment she asked herself to leave the court, she and Ji Sheng had nothing to do with each other.
If there is, then only family feud is left.
After all, it can be said that the emperor has single-handedly contributed to Zhenbei Palace reaching this point.
…
After breakfast the next day, Chunque drove the mule cart carrying people, and Feng Xujie drove the mule cart loaded with grain and luggage, closely following Du Laozhuang and Wei Zhong.
Du Laozhuang is in front because he is the current talker in Dujia Village, and Wei Zhong is in front because he knows the way.
Zhou Yunshu and his party followed the two families, and behind them were Wei Zhong's brothers and their families, plus the relatively well-to-do families in Dujia Village.
Next are the old and weak women and children of Dujia Village. The female family members are in the middle of the team. On both sides of the team and at the end are the young and strong people in the village to ensure the integrity and safety of the team.
Three days later, the team encountered a city again.
Like last time, the team selected people to go into the city to purchase, while the remaining people rested outside the city.
Zhou Yunshu and his party all entered the city as usual.
The city in front of him is smaller than Tongcheng, but the price is twice as high as Tongcheng. And just as Zhou Yunshu thought before, this city closest to Luzhou has begun to restrict food purchases.
Even though it was so much higher, Zhou Yunshu still bought what she should buy, and even bought a lot of grain.
It's not just her. Even though the people in Dujia Village despise the fact that food is too expensive, those in the family who have enough money still buy a lot of food.
Next we will enter the territory of Luzhou. The drought in Luzhou is much more serious than it is now.
Eating white flour buns and rice was too conspicuous, so Zhou Yunshu only bought cornmeal and sweet potatoes in this city, and also bought some potatoes and yams when she saw them.
After talking to Du Laozhuang in the evening, Zhou Yunshu and the others still stayed at the inn in the city. Xixi was not feeling well, and Zhou Yunshu did not want to make her endure hardships if possible.
Fortunately, after checking with the doctor, Xixi's condition was not serious. It was just that the journey took too long and the process was a bit bumpy. She was a little bit unable to bear it at her young age.
After examining Xixi, Zhou Yunshu also asked the doctor to take a look at herself. After the old doctor noticed that it was a happy pulse, Zhou Yunshu's eyes widened slightly when he looked at the man dressed as a man. Then he thought of something and said clearly: "The fetus is very stable. You can be assured."
When she left the drug store with the medicine she bought, Zhou Yunshu felt a little regretful. She had been feeling uneasy since Grandma Wang was gone. It would have been nice if there was a doctor in the fleeing team, which would be safer and more reliable.
But she just thought about it. Nowadays, no one would leave their hometown unless they had to. Especially in the doctor's profession, the reputation that was finally accumulated would have to start over in a different place.
In the evening, when everyone asked for hot water in the inn and started washing up, Zhou Yunshu dressed up and left the inn.
