A man who looked like a leader leaned close to the city lord's ear and whispered a few words. The city lord's face immediately changed, he stood up and strode outside.

Lin Dazhuang also hurriedly followed with his men. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Uncle Cui that he would send someone to pick them up the next day.

Yuxiu sent them out with a smile, knowing that the fact that there was a lot of extra grain in the warehouse might have been discovered, so she hurriedly asked the city lord to go back.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Cui and Old Lady Cui had already prepared breakfast. Afraid that they would be hungry on the road, Mrs. Cui was lighting the fire while the old lady personally made a large stack of egg pancakes.

"Mom, these are enough. It's hot outside. Don't let it go bad if you keep it for too long. Otherwise, this good thing will be ruined."

Cui tried to stop them. She knew that Yuxiu had plenty of food and they would not go hungry even if they were in a hurry. It would be better to leave the flour and eggs for the Cui family.

"Okay, take those boiled eggs with you later. Unfortunately, there aren't many people selling eggs in the city. Otherwise, I'd boil some more for you. They'll last for two more days."

The old lady was packing up things while mumbling, and it seemed that most of the food was prepared for them to take away.

Uncle Cui took his sons to lead the carriage into the yard. It was a small chestnut horse that looked very docile. The carriage also looked very ordinary, but it seemed to be about 80% new. There was a lot of space inside, which was completely suitable for Yuxiu and her daughter to set off on the journey.

Because Cui was pregnant and afraid of being shaken, Yuxiu went into the house and took out the bedding she slept on last night and put it on the bed, and then carried the backpack containing her luggage onto the carriage.

Fearing that they would be short of water on the road, Uncle Cui went to the street early in the morning and bought a half-sized wooden barrel with a lid that could be covered tightly. He washed it clean and filled it with well water.

After all the things were loaded, there was only room for Yuxiu and Cui in the carriage that seemed quite spacious before.

But there was no other way. If I didn't take anything with me, I wouldn't be able to explain to the Cui family. I had no choice but to take everything with me.

After all these were prepared, they had breakfast. Old Mrs. Cui's eyes were red the whole time, probably because she had secretly wiped away her tears. Cui also kept her head down while eating, and was in a very low mood.

Yuxiu couldn't stand the low pressure, so she stuffed the cake in her hand into her mouth in three or two bites, drank the last mouthful of rice porridge, and went into the house to take out the oil paper bags she had prepared last night and distribute them to the Cui family.

There were various snacks for the old lady, good wine and food for Uncle Cui, and various delicacies for Cui's two cousins.

In addition to these, Yuxiu found three bone-cutting knives similar to the ones Cui had held before, saying that she had bought them in the city, and asked Uncle Cui to keep them well so that they could be used for self-defense in case of any accidents.

The Cui family, who were originally very sad, saw her take out such a large pile of things. They thought she bought them on the street and some even blamed her for spending money indiscriminately.

"You still have many other places where you need money, so you can't be so lavish on buying so much food..."

Old Mrs. Cui began to mutter, but Mrs. Cui knew that these things should be the good things her daughter got out of the immortal magic weapon, so she smiled and persuaded the Cui family to accept them, saying that they didn't know when they would meet again after separation this time, so these should be regarded as a gift from their granddaughter Yuxiu to them.

Thinking of the wonderful uses of the spiritual spring water, Yuxiu had asked the small system to exchange a small jade bottle with a stopper from the system mall. The bottle was half the size of a beverage bottle. After filling it with spiritual spring water, she sealed it tightly with wax.

"This is what my master left for me. It is said to be a life-saving good. I'll give some to you. If you are injured or poisoned, you can take it out and drink it."

Yuxiu called Uncle Cui aside and gave him detailed instructions, asking him to keep the item carefully and not lose it.

Upon learning that Yuxiu's abilities were taught by her master, the Cui family members admired the mysterious master very much. Now that they heard that this good thing was given by him, it goes without saying that it must be a good thing that can save lives, so they immediately put it away carefully.

Yuxiu and the Cui family didn't know at this time that it was this small bottle of spiritual spring water that actually saved the lives of the Cui family's young and old many days later.

After everything was arranged, even if Mrs. Cui was reluctant, Yuxiu and Cui had to start their journey.

It was already noon at this time. If we didn't leave now, we would be delayed again today.

Determined not to let the Cui family see her off, Yuxiu drove the carriage out of the north city gate. She didn't know how to drive a carriage, but fortunately the original owner had driven an ox cart with Xu Qinghe before, and the horse was very docile. Anyway, she could just practice slowly after leaving the city. If it didn't work, she could give the horse some spiritual spring water, which should make it obedient.

There were also quite a few victims outside the north gate, but when Yuxiu drove the carriage out, the soldiers were distributing porridge. Maybe the city lord had given instructions or something, but the soldiers guarding the gate didn't ask any questions when they saw the carriage, and just opened the city gate and let it pass.

There were long queues in front of several porridge distribution stalls. The ragged victims were holding all kinds of broken bowls in their hands, with numb expressions and dull eyes.

Yuxiu didn't even look at these people. She gently whipped the horse's butt with the small whip, urging it to run faster.

Cui was half lying on the thick bedding, looking at the victims outside through the curtain that was blown open by the wind, and she was very grateful to Yuxiu's immortal master.

If it weren't for her daughter's blessing in disguise, even if she and her daughter were not tortured to death by the Xu family, they would have been like these people, without seeing a glimmer of hope all day long, and could only wait and hope bitterly.

The chestnut horse pulling the carriage ran quite fast. Besides, it was not very hot at the moment, so Yuxiu drove the carriage at full speed. Half an hour later, they were dozens of miles away from Phoenix City.

"Mom, are you tired? Let's find a place to rest for a while."

Yuxiu was wearing a sun hat that she had taken out from the space. This was a basic model sold in her supermarket, and it was just right to take it out at this time.

"My daughter, take a break and eat something. Let me drive the car for a while, and you can take a break too."

Cui wiped the sweat from Yuxiu's forehead, her eyes full of heartache and pity.

She had a good rest last night, and now that she knew the whereabouts of her husband, she felt much better and was not as upset as she was yesterday.

"I'm not tired. I'm relieved that Mom is fine. But it's too hot now. Let's take a break and eat something. We can continue our journey when it's cooler."

Yuxiu found a small forest and drove the carriage into it. First, she put the messy luggage in the carriage into the space, leaving only some sundries in the backpack outside.

There was a gentle breeze and it was quite cool in the woods. Yuxiu took out some food and shared it with Cui. She also filled half a basin of water for the chestnut horse to drink.

Thinking of her previous idea, she simply added some spiritual spring water into the basin.

Not much was added this time, just the bottom of a ladle, and the water didn't have much taste, but the chestnut horse seemed to have discovered something different. It put its big head into the bucket and drank it all in one go.

"Ah! I can't take it anymore. Just let me die. I really can't take it anymore..."

Yuxiu and Cui had just rested for a while after finishing their meal when they heard a woman's scream coming from the depths of the woods. They were so scared that even the chestnut horse jumped.

"I wonder if there is anyone else in the woods, why is he screaming so miserably..."

Yuxiu shook her head and didn't intend to meddle in other people's business.

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for triggering the system task. The woman is having a difficult birth in the wilderness. Please help her give birth to the baby. The reward this time is to upgrade the teleportation skill to level 2."
