After the marriage was severed, I fled with my golden finger to protect my mother

Yuxiu was busy with things in Yanyun City, while on the other side, other people from Xujia Village, led by Xu Linzhi, were also rushing to the capital.

That day, a group of people from Xujia Village hurried down the mountain. Along the way, they not only left behind the elderly and children in the village, but also lost several adult men. Several women were also bitten to death when they were attacked by wolves. The team that originally had more than a hundred people now had only seventy or eighty people left.

When they emerged from the woods in a mess, they found that they had indeed reached the other side of Phoenix City. They all collapsed on the ground exhausted, feeling that all the hard work of these days was worth it. Looking back now, it was as if they had walked around the gate of the King of Hell and come back to life.

"Everyone has been tired these days. Now that we are out of the forest, we don't have to worry about wild animals suddenly appearing. Let's make a fire and cook some food while there is no one around."

Xu Qingrong shouted loudly a few times. Along the way, he became more prestigious in the eyes of the villagers, and he trained the villagers into obedience.

Sure enough, after hearing the village chief's shout, even though everyone was extremely tired, they still struggled to get up from the ground. Some of the men set up pots and stoves, while others went to process the prey they brought down from the mountain.

The women began to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables, and they were all busy.

Although they suffered heavy losses on the mountain this time, those who survived also gained a lot.

Not only a dozen pheasants and rabbits were caught, but also a half-grown wild boar, three wild wolves, two roe deer and a wild deer.

Most of these things were simply processed in the mountains and marinated with coarse salt. They just needed to be thrown into the pot and cooked, and then sprinkled with a handful of sorghum flour and wild vegetable leaves, and it would be a pot of fragrant broth.

Xu Linzhi didn't need to do these things. Not only that, Xu Qingrong also found a little girl from the village who was two years younger than her, named Chunya, to serve her.

At this time, Chunya was holding a wooden comb in her hand, helping Xu Linzhi comb her hair in a very professional manner. However, her hair had not been washed for many days, and she had been in the forest for so long, so there were all kinds of leaves, grass sticks, etc. In addition, it was stuffy and hot in the forest, and she was covered in sweat. The pain was so severe that it was beyond words.

"I shouldn't have asked my father to save you if I had known. You clumsy girl is of no use at all."

After being pulled and hurt several times, Xu Linzhi finally couldn't help but get angry. She snatched the wooden comb from her hand and started combing her hair herself.

"She's not as good as Uncle Shitou's Lan'er. Although she's a little ugly, she combs her hair quickly and neatly, unlike you who takes so long that you almost tear all my hair out..."

Chunya was scolded so much that she shrank her neck and dared not say a word. She just lowered her head and looked at her exposed big toe, tears rolling down her eyes.

Chunya also knew about the Lan'er that Xu Linzhi was talking about. It was the girl who used to serve Xu Linzhi. When they encountered a wolf in the woods, that Lan'er was pushed out by Xu Linzhi and was bitten to death and dragged away by the wolf.

Xu Linzhi really didn't like Chunya's gloomy look. She combed her hair a few times but couldn't get it untied. So she threw the comb down in anger and went to her mother to ask for help.

It's no wonder that she's in a hurry to improve her appearance. The main reason is that she will meet the young man of her dreams today, so of course she has to dress well and try to leave a good impression on him.

Xu Linzhi slowly calculated the time according to the dream. After the group had eaten and drunk their fill, they walked down the hillside. Sure enough, they soon saw a young man in brocade clothes, lying on a pile of hay covered in blood.

"Dad, it's him, let's save him quickly..."

Xu Linzhi was afraid that someone else would get there first and snatch away her credit at this critical moment, so she urged Xu Qingrong to hurry up, and she also took two steps at a time and ran quickly to the young man, calling him in a low voice.

Things went very smoothly afterwards. Just as Xu Linzhi had bandaged the young man's wound, his guards rushed over. After learning that it was they who had saved him out of kindness, they took the people from Xujia Village with them, and a group of people rushed to the capital in a mighty manner.

However, the young man and his guards were very low-key. I don’t know where they found some tattered clothes worn by refugees and put them on, and then they blended in with the people from Xujia Village. If you didn’t look specifically, people would have thought that they were all refugees.

Yanyun City, Zhang Family Courtyard.

The Zhang family compound was built very magnificently. According to the information provided by the small system, the Zhang family did not live here originally. Later, little Zhang followed City Lord Ma to Yanyun City to settle down. Her family also got the property of big Zhang's family, so they moved to Yanyun City together. Under the care of City Lord Ma, the son-in-law, the business was booming and they soon accumulated the eldest family fortune.

When Yuxiu entered Zhang's house, she was like a little mouse entering a bag of flour. She rushed into all the warehouses and started looting.

Looking at the condition of the Zhang siblings, how can the old man who raised such children be a good person?

So she had no sense of guilt at all. Even if she gave these things to beggars on the street, it was better than having them wasted by this family.

Rice and flour, harvested.

The cloth and porcelain were collected.

Gold, silver and jewelry were also collected.

In the dead of night, everyone in the courtyard was fast asleep, and the guards did not notice anything unusual. In the end, Yuxiu collected everything to her heart's content, and even the big pots on the stove were not spared.

Seeing that there was a large basin of fermented dough in the kitchen, which should be saved for making steamed buns tomorrow morning, Yuxiu did not hesitate to take the basin into the space, preparing to take it to Cui later, and the two of them would make some meat filling to make buns.

After finishing all this, Yuxiu went back to the inn in the dark and entered the space again. Cui had already fallen asleep. She felt heavier now, so she didn't have the energy to wait for Yuxiu to come back.

She made herself a cup of hot milk and drank it. Since there was still some time before dawn, Yuxiu went to bed to catch up on her sleep.

When she woke up and got up, Cui had already prepared breakfast, including fragrant egg pancakes, hot millet porridge, and crisp and delicious pickles.

Yuxiu had been busy all night last night. Now when she smelled these aromas, she felt that she was already starving.

After greeting Mrs. Cui, he picked up the bowl and started eating breakfast.

I have to say that mother and daughter are really connected. When Cui saw the big bowl of noodles that Yuxiu brought in from Zhang's house this morning, she thought about making meat buns. There happened to be fresh meat, so she picked out a big piece and prepared to chop it into meat stuffing.
