Chapter 770 The Journey of Exile (6)
Everyone who heard Wang You laughed when he said that.
“Well, Madam Yun, Miss Wangyou didn’t mean anything by it. She just doesn’t like eating wild vegetables. Please don’t take it to heart,” said Eunuch Hou as he walked over.
“Miss Wangyou is right. When we get there, I will personally cook some good dishes for you.” Madam Yun was also a straightforward person and quickly understood what Eunuch Hou meant.
"Do you always talk like that?" Nangong Che asked softly after the mother and daughter left.
"Yes what's the matter?"
"How come you weren't beaten to death?" Nangong Che was genuinely curious.
"Why did you hit me?" Wangyou asked, puzzled. She was telling the truth. "Besides, no one can beat me!"
Nangong Che was speechless. How could she say such things so seriously? Anyone who dared to argue with her must have been beaten up by her, and judging from the situation, they must have been beaten up quite badly.
"Makes sense."
“That’s right.” Wangyou was quite pleased with herself.
She knew that Nangong Che meant she wasn't very emotionally intelligent, but why should she force herself to accept something she didn't like, even if it was well-intentioned? But Wangyou would never force herself.
She doesn't need to consider others; at most, she just needs to be more patient with her brother, Xie Yuchen, and Zhang Qilin. As for everyone else, there's no difference in her eyes.
Some families who had gathered herbs were making medicinal soup, and those who hadn't gathered herbs also wanted some. Those who were on good terms with the family could get some, while those who weren't on good terms with the family had to find their own way.
So, unsurprisingly, the next day, at least half of the people caught a cold and developed a fever. Most importantly, the rain hadn't stopped, which meant they couldn't go out to collect firewood, so they couldn't start a fire. Without a fire, there was no heat source, and if this continued, they would all get sick sooner or later.
At this time, apart from the three men, everyone else in the Lu family was sick. However, Wangyou only glanced at them and saw that they were not doing well, so she was relieved.
Although the Forgetful One in this life is not the same person as the pitiful one in the previous life, and Forgetful One may be in a parallel world, judging from the character of those people in the Lu family, they are probably not much different, so ignoring them is the best option.
While letting her thoughts wander, Wangyou waited for Mengjie's meat soup.
"Mother has a high fever, it's very serious, come back and see her!" Lu Jing said as he walked over, suppressing his anger.
"She is your mother, not mine. Young Master Lu has mistaken you for someone else." Wangyou remained unfazed, never expecting that this person would try to take advantage of her.
"No matter what, we are family, connected by blood. How can you be so heartless!" Lu Jing's voice couldn't help but rise a little.
"So you know about blood ties, huh? Then why didn't you think of that when you were helping Lu Tingting bully me? What, Lu Tingting enjoyed thirteen years of bliss, and I'm being exiled with you as soon as I arrive? I don't owe you anything." Bored in the cave, Wangyou was willing to say a few more words.
“Then you fought back against them all!” Lu Jing blurted out.
"So what? But you did the work in the real way. Those few days at the General's Mansion completely exhausted any remaining affection I had for you," Wangyou said with a grin.
"I don't believe it, I don't believe you're really so heartless. Mother is really very ill. You know medicine, please take a look at her!" Lu Jing felt that things shouldn't be like this, but he couldn't explain why.
"Who says that just because I know medicine I have to save people? I only study medicine, I don't practice it!"
"Isn't it supposed to be that doctors have a benevolent heart?"
"You're talking about doctors, but I'm not a doctor. Besides, it's very expensive for me to work, and I'd have to be willing to be a test subject for drugs. After all, what I like to make most is poison."
"That's your biological mother!"
“I told you that she was just your biological mother, she has nothing to do with me. Besides, how did someone like me, who isn’t even on your Lu family genealogy, get exiled?” Wangyou said seriously.
“You still resent us, but Tingting is innocent.”
"Oh!" Wangyou said speechlessly, "Brother Meng, when will this soup be ready?"
"Almost there, just a quarter of an hour more."
"We're about to eat, you should go back now, I don't keep people here for free meals."
Lu Jing was so angry he wanted to hit someone, but his experience told him he couldn't win at all, so he could only angrily return to the Lu family.
"Dad, let's not go looking for that ungrateful wretch anymore. She doesn't even acknowledge us!"
"Why should she come over? Mother and Tingting both have fevers!" Lu Chen was about to get up and start cursing.
"Sit down, and from now on, let's pretend we never recognized her!" Lu Xun now understood that his biological daughter was inherently rebellious and had already distanced herself from them, so there was no point in bothering her any further.
Only Lu Xun herself knows how much regret and guilt she felt.
After eating the hot meat soup, Wangyou stared blankly at the rain outside the cave. It seemed that there was such a heavy rain in the plot, where the little girl braved the rain to find food and drink for that family, but ended up catching a cold and no one was willing to carry her on their way. In the end, the little girl had to get through it all by herself.
It's not that there wasn't any; it seems Lu Xun did mention it, but the others disagreed because Lu Xun in the story was wearing shackles and carrying someone on his back, so you can imagine how difficult it would be for him to walk.
The little girl, half-asleep, heard that her father was willing to carry her on his back, and felt extremely happy. In the end, she burned her life to light up the family.
Even though the plot has nothing to do with her, I just can't stand watching her.
The little white snake probably sensed that Wangyou was in a bad mood, so it obediently wrapped itself around her wrist, looking from a distance like a white jade bracelet, which was very beautiful.
Fortunately, the rain stopped in the afternoon, and the constables were eager to get going. As for the sick, they would try to endure it if they could, and if they couldn't, they would just die and be buried. There was nothing that could be done about natural disasters.
Wangyou took a bath and changed her clothes. As for where her clothes went, she didn't bother to explain.
The road was difficult to travel on after the rain, so the group decided to turn back to the main road.
However, when they finally emerged from the woods with great difficulty, they found many corpses lying on the road, which appeared to be those of refugees.
The constables dared not linger and shouted at the prisoners to leave quickly, to get away from this place where so many dead bodies lay. However, what they saw next was even more corpses, and even more gruesome sights.
"Let's take precautions against the epidemic!" Wangyou said, popping a pill into her mouth.
"You said there will be an epidemic?" Nangong Che was instinctively a little anxious.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You're not the Crown Prince anymore. This epidemic should have started long ago. Andu Prefecture, where we're about to arrive, is probably not safe."
What medicine did you take?
"Of course it's for epidemic prevention."
"Do you know how to cure it?"
"I know, but why should I treat it? For ordinary people these days, living is far more painful than dying." Wangyou's words were ruthless, and in reality, she was indeed ruthless.
