Chapter 769 The Journey of Exile (5)
Wangyou stroked the little white snake all over before finally putting it in her pocket, completely satisfied.
The little white snake was so confused by Wangyou's touch that it fell asleep in the pocket, feeling dizzy.
Today we must continue our journey. Wangyou was also busy directing Eunuch Hou to gather herbs. Eunuch Hou did not complain. The main problem was that the prison cart was difficult to navigate after entering the mountains, so Mengjie had to push the cart carrying their prince.
“There shouldn’t be many people here. There are quite a few medicinal herbs. If we dig some up, we can at least catch a cold.” Wangyou gestured with a small stick.
"understand."
There were some attentive people nearby who would listen in and collect some medicinal herbs as well. Although the quantity was not large, it was certainly enough for their own family's use.
Because when Wangyou asked Eunuch Hou to dig, he would also mention the medicinal properties and uses of the herbs, which allowed those who were interested to learn some information.
As for those who are heartless, well, they are simply unlucky.
Although it was cool in the woods, the path was difficult to walk on, and one had to be constantly on guard against wild animals.
Most importantly, it looks like it's going to rain, and it's going to be a very heavy rain.
After thinking for a moment, Wangyou told the escorting officers, "It looks like it's going to rain today, and it won't be a light rain; it'll definitely start by evening at the latest."
"You're saying it'll rain when the sky is clear?! How is that possible!"
"I'm telling the truth, but whether you believe me or not is up to you; just so you know, we're in the mountains, this is where the most trees are, if lightning strikes, they'll all be struck." After saying this, Wangyou swayed and left.
Anyway, she had already given the warning. Besides, the decision was made by the officials, and she, an exile, couldn't possibly make that decision for them. So, it was uncertain how many of the thousand-strong group would survive the rain.
The deposed crown prince, on the other hand, looks much better lately and can even walk around for a while now.
Wangyou then realized that the deposed crown prince was actually quite handsome. It's amazing that someone so good-looking, a crown prince, could still be cuckolded. This world is truly a giant game.
Seeing the changes in the deposed crown prince, Meng Jie and Eunuch Hou were extremely grateful to Wang You. They knew that her medical skills were absolutely unparalleled; it was just a matter of whether she was willing to save people.
The constables were shocked to see that the deposed crown prince was able to get out of the carriage and move around. They never expected that someone who was on the verge of death would actually come back to life. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before he recovered.
The escort team was a mixed bag, and there were probably a few who wanted the deposed crown prince dead, but that was a problem for the deposed crown prince to worry about, not for her.
Most importantly, the wind picked up and clouds gathered in the afternoon, turning the clear blue sky into a dark one, and it seemed like a heavy rain could fall at any moment.
"Quickly find a place to stay!" The constables in front also realized what was happening. Nothing else mattered; what mattered was that this rain would definitely make some people sick, and there were also quotas for the number of people they were escorting.
But the situation was urgent, and in this desolate wilderness, where could they find shelter from the rain in such a short time? Everyone hurried along, their eyes wide open, searching for a cave to take shelter from the rain.
"Hiss," Little White woke up and slowly crawled out of Wangyou's pocket, then looked into Wangyou's eyes again.
"Little White, are you awake? Did you sleep well?" Wangyou asked with a smile as she lifted Little White by its seven-inch mark and walked away.
"Hiss" How dare I say it's bad? If you're so capable, take your hand away from my vital spot.
Wangyou understood what Xiaobai meant, and a little embarrassed, she released its vital spot and grabbed its head. "Sorry, I'm just used to grabbing it like this."
Little White Snake: ……
"Miss Wangyou, can you find a place to stay?" the constable asked as he approached.
"No, I've never been here before, how am I supposed to find it?" Wangyou refused without hesitation. The wind was howling, and even if she could find the cave, she wouldn't want to be covered in dust.
"Look at me, I'm overthinking it. No matter how capable you are, you're still just a child."
However, while there were some bad apples among the exiled people, there were also many who had made great contributions, such as the Yang family. Therefore, Wangyou was not worried about finding a place to stay.
However, the rain came down faster than they found the cave. The scouts had just run back to say they had found a cave when the rain started again. Despite running as fast as they could, many of them still got soaked.
The cave is very large, and what's remarkable is that there are no signs of wild animals living there. Although it's a bit crowded, it can still fit about a thousand people if you squeeze in.
But a new problem arose: many people were soaked through. If they continued to wear these clothes, they would definitely get sick. In just a short time, many people's faces had already started to turn pale.
Wangyou picked out a few medicinal herbs from the herbs she had gathered over the past few days. "Brother Meng, boil these together and have a bowl of them!"
"Okay." Meng Jie took the medicinal herbs and borrowed a large pot from the constables. After the medicine was boiled, he first served a bowl to each of the constables, and then served a bowl to himself, the deposed crown prince, Eunuch Hou, and Wangyou.
"You'll wake up after drinking it, I don't need it. You got caught in the rain, but I didn't." Wangyou looked at the brown medicine, not really wanting to drink it.
"You should have a drink too. It can help if you're sick, and it can also help you stay healthy."
“I know my own body. Give this medicine to Yunbao. You should drink it quickly and then go and cook some for your master’s family as well.”
"This medicinal herb?"
"Why are you asking me why Eunuch Hou picked these herbs?" Wangyou asked, puzzled.
"Thank you, young lady. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." Nangong Che bowed to Wangyou.
Along the way, they had come to know Wangyou to some extent. She could be soft-hearted, as you can tell from Yunbao, but she could also be ruthless, as you can tell from the Lu family.
"Then I'll remember that." Wangyou didn't take the promise seriously.
"Sister, thank you for the medicine." A little dumpling moved over slowly, her face flushed, and said.
“Oh, it’s Rainbow Dash. You’re welcome. Are you feeling better?” Wangyou said, pinching the little girl’s cheek.
"I'm much better. Mother said it's all thanks to my sister, otherwise Yunbao would never have seen her again."
"So you've come to thank your sister?"
"Yes!" Then Rainbow Dash rummaged in her little pocket and pulled out two gold coins, whispering, "These are what Rainbow Dash secretly saved up for her sister."
"You're so cute, whose child are you?"
“I’m from my mother’s family!” Rainbow Dash answered firmly, but whose family is your mother?
"Miss Wangyou, these are some wild vegetables I picked on the road. Although it's not much, it can still add some dishes for you," said Yunbao's mother, bringing over the washed wild vegetables.
"No need, I have enough to eat. Besides, to be honest, wild vegetables aren't very tasty unless they're cooked well, but where can I find all the ingredients in this desolate wilderness? It's better to wait until we get to the place of exile and then you can treat me to a meal," Wangyou said seriously.
