The Princess of the Substitute Bride Strikes Back

"Everyone stop! We'll camp here tonight."

Zheng Chengyuan asked everyone to stop and camp here tonight. The uninjured men in the family followed him to find water and brought tools for digging wells and collecting water.

As soon as Zheng Chengyuan arrived, he asked everyone to go find the well on the back mountain that the villagers talked about. There was no point in resting now, as every family was short of water and food. It would be better to find a well before dark so that they could have some drinking water.

"Husband, I will go with you. I want to try to grow wild vegetables to see if I can upgrade the space." Fu Yunxi was thinking about upgrading the space and wanted to take this opportunity to try it out.

"Okay, the mountains behind are endless and unfathomable, so don't go too far."

Mu Yibai did not stop Fu Yunxi from doing things. He knew that his wife had her own ideas. She was not like other girls who would just obey their husbands. This made her more attractive to him.

Fu Yunxi left food and spiritual spring water for the first wife, and snacks such as sour plums and milk for Lin. Since she found out that she was pregnant with twins, Lin became more greedy. It might be that her heart knot was untied, or it might be a normal reaction during pregnancy. Anyway, as long as Lin was in good health, Fu Yunxi would satisfy her little requests.

"Why are the officials here?" Mu Yibai, Fu Yunxi and Mu Yiheng were just about to set off when they saw Zheng Chengyuan coming in front of them with half of the officials.

"I came to see if Second Master Mu has settled down. This mountain road is not easy to walk on, and I shouldn't have asked you to go find a well, but the one with the most experience in surviving in the wild is Master Mu, who used to be a general, so I would like to ask you to go with us and let our men carry you."

"Finding water sources is a top priority. As a member of the team, I have no choice but to join. If they can find groundwater in the mountains, it must be in the valleys or low-lying areas. They don't have to climb mountains. I can just sit in a wheelchair."

Mu Yibai didn't want to reveal the fact that his legs were healed. On the one hand, his legs could just support him to walk and his martial arts had only recovered 30%. On the other hand, the emperor was in power now and might send someone over, so he had to continue to conceal it.

"Okay, then let Second Young Master Mu lead the way." Half of the officers and soldiers stayed behind to guard the place, all the elderly, women and children stayed behind, and the others set off with tools. Everyone hoped to find a source of water on this trip.

After walking about a kilometer, we arrived at the foot of the mountain. This is a famous deep mountain and old forest, surrounded by mountains, and the road is difficult to find. Fortunately, in the famine years, the grass and trees are withered and yellow, and the mountains are bare, so they are relatively easy to distinguish.

"Go to the path on the left. There should be a road between the two mountains." Mu Yibai found the key immediately with his experience in the military.

"Master, how do you know there is a road and water there?" Chen Jianzhong was very studious and was curious about how Mu Yibai could tell the difference.

His question also raised the doubts of Zheng Chengyuan and others.

"Because it is located between two mountains, there are many valleys and streams there, and the terrain is relatively low-lying. More importantly, it is not far from the village we just visited, and there is a path outside."

"Look carefully, there is indeed a path, which should have been trampled out by the villagers who went into the mountains to fetch water. Master is so amazing, I am proud of him!"

Fu Yunxi was silent on the side, and this talkative little disciple came online again!

"Okay, let's go over there and take a look." Zheng Chengyuan said, and everyone moved forward together. When they got closer, everyone wanted to see if there was any water.

Without the obstruction of the mountain outside, everyone approached and discovered that this was a valley between two mountains. A patch of fine stones could be vaguely seen in the middle, where a stream had once flowed. Because the soil in the middle was loose, it was not as dry and cracked as on the sides. There was indeed a well and a water pressurizing tool on the side. Presumably, the villagers had recently come here to fetch water.

"Second brother, go and press it first to see if water can come out." The officers were excited when they saw this and rushed forward to press the water.

"Boss, there's really water coming out, and quite a lot!" He squeezed out a bucket of water easily. Everyone was so happy that they lined up to get water.

"Sir, my wife and I will go around to see if there is anything to eat." Mu Yibai made an excuse to take Fu Yunxi to grow wild vegetables.

"Okay, go ahead. Do you want me to send someone to protect you?"

"No need, we are nearby. We will let everyone know when we find food." Mu Yibai could see that Zheng Chengyuan had no good intentions, but he did not want to eat the food alone. He just wanted to help his wife cover up the growing of wild vegetables.

Alas, it seems that it is not easy to be a good person!

"Xi'er, what do you want to plant? Elm and purslane?"

"I want to plant daylilies and turnips. Many people were injured in the battle just now, some with knife wounds or falls. Although I don't want to save some of them, I want to try to see if the space can be upgraded. If they don't recover, it will slow down the march and add burden to the horses."

"Okay, I'll listen to Xier. My Xier is really kind-hearted." This lovely little wife is very clear about gratitude and grudges and has a kind heart.

Fu Yunxi felt a little shy because of Mu Yibai's words. Why did he suddenly say that and call herself "my Xier"?

Moreover, she found that since his legs were able to stand, Mu Yibai became fond of teasing her from time to time, always exuding an intoxicating masculine charm inadvertently. She wondered if this was just her illusion.

Turnip is also a medicinal material. It has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, cooling blood and removing blood stasis, digesting food and soothing the stomach, clearing the lungs and relieving cough, benefiting the liver and promoting diuresis. It is a life-saving medicine for those on the march or in poor families.

This is exactly the herb the team needs.

"Husband, I'm about to start. Go over there and keep watch for me."

"it is good."

Mu Yibai obediently walked to the side and watched. This place was the end of the valley, two turns away from the water-drawing place in front. The distance was not far, just enough to ensure that the officials could not see him.

Fu Yunxi planted the entire open space with turnips, and also planted daylilies around it and along the foot of the mountain.

Because there was a stream flowing here and the soil was soft, the planting was completed without much effort.

Looking around, the scenery is quite spectacular. In this barren mountain, there is a field of wild flowers and grasses.

It seems to bring vitality and hope to the mountains.

"Husband, let's go down the mountain now and tell them to come over here to pick them."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xier."
