In the evening, Mr. Li came to apologize and said that he had gone to find someone to go out of the city to collect the bodies of his family. He was completely unaware of what his daughter had done. Xing'er's indenture had been returned to them and she would no longer be his servant.

It also clarified the term "bed warmer".

The Su family responded with a few words in a cold attitude.

Mr. Li did not treat himself as an outsider and asked them what their plans were next.

What else did he say? He had just felt that Qinghe Town was no longer suitable for living. Now that he had some money, he was thinking of taking his family to settle in the capital.

The Li family is a business family and can also make a living by doing business in the capital.

Unexpectedly, after making careful plans, they were robbed by bandits and their entire family was wiped out.

Now all plans to go to the capital have been extinguished. Although he has some banknotes left on him, they can no longer support them to settle down in the capital.

At the end, Mr. Li proposed that he wanted to travel together with the Su family.

Su Laosan declined without hesitation, saying that they still had to go find their families and it would be difficult to get around along the way.

Mr. Li was skeptical, but finally told his purpose.

"I don't know what medicine Brother Su used on Xing'er, but the effect was so good. If there is any left, I am willing to pay for it. Can you give it to me? My daughter's injury is really serious..."

At this point, Su Qiuyi realized that Mr. Li was talking about this and that, but he was actually waiting here.

She said, why did that old woman come to embarrass Xing'er for no reason? It turned out that she found that Xing'er recovered well, and she happened to know that Xing'er's injury was much more serious than Miss Li's.

This is when they started to suspect that they had good medicine, and that’s when the trouble started.

She sat quietly and watched, wanting to see how her father would handle the matter.

I only heard Su Lao San say indifferently, "My daughter is blessed by heaven. Where did you get the good medicine? It's just the medicine from Shan De Tang!"

Mr. Li's face darkened. How could he not hear that Su Laosan was saying that even God could not stand by his daughter's evil deeds? The injury had not healed for a long time and had even festered. It was God's punishment for her to use others to ward off disaster, but the disaster could not be warded off.

He stood up with a sullen face and clasped his fists. "In that case, I will not disturb Brother Su's rest! Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the room.

After the trouble left, Su Qiuyi hurriedly called for bath water. While her second sister was accompanying her youngest sister, she took a bath and washed her face thoroughly. Then she took out the set of skin care products that Wen Xiner had given her and applied them on her face layer by layer.

Finally, she applied body lotion all over her body and then quickly put on her clothes.

She was afraid that her fair and tender face would be a different color from the skin on her body, which would be funny.

In any era, people will look at appearance, and every girl loves beauty. Su Qiuyi herself is no exception.

Not long after she lay down, her second sister came back. After telling her about her youngest sister's situation, she saw that her elder sister was about to go to sleep, so she obediently lay down beside her and fell asleep soon after.

Su Qiuyi also felt sleepy, but he couldn't help but take out the jade pendant he bought today from the space and admired it for a while before he was willing to go to bed.

The next morning, the family got up early and began to pack their luggage. They loaded all the luggage and food into the car one by one, put them carefully in the cabinet under the bench, and then had breakfast at the inn.

When the family came out, the door of Mr. Li's room opposite opened, and Mr. Li watched them go downstairs with a cold face.

Su Xiaofang supported Su Laosan, and the sister Su Qiuyi supported her younger sister on each side. The family went downstairs without caring about Li Yuanwai's look.

The shopkeeper knew they were about to leave when he saw this, so he quickly counted the money for them. There were more than four taels left out of the ten taels of silver. Su Qiuyi took four taels, and the remaining dozens of coins were directly rewarded to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face was full of smiles, and he hurriedly asked them to leave. Before leaving, he tied a lot of horse feed on the back board of the carriage.

Su Laosan was so envious of the two fat and strong horses his daughter bought.

But he was still recovering from his broken leg, so he couldn't drive the car and could only sit in the carriage with his two daughters.

The four sets of bedding they brought were spread out on three benches.

It was very soft and comfortable. Su Wenxing's wound had scabbed over, and sitting on such a soft bench, he didn't feel too uncomfortable.

In addition, Su Mingyue was sitting next to the younger sister and taking care of her. She was afraid that the younger sister would be tired, so she let her lie down for a while with her head on her legs from time to time, which was not a problem.

Su Qiuyi accompanied her aunt, and they both sat on each side of the shaft of the cart. However, the two horses were really good at pulling the cart, and they didn't need to worry about it.

Once we reached the city gate, leaving the city was much smoother and easier.

Looking at the long line of refugees queuing to enter the city, Su Qiuyi sighed.

I don’t know when this drought will end.

Autumn is approaching and the weather is getting colder, which will make life even more difficult for the refugees.

Suffering from hunger and cold, we don’t know what disaster will happen.

After leaving the city, seeing waves of refugees near the city gate, Su Qiuyi asked his aunt to pull the reins of the horse to stop.

"Let's wait and see. Maybe my uncle and his men have already walked over here!"

When Su Xiaofang heard this, she immediately pulled the reins, stopped the carriage, and walked slowly among the crowd.

The two men kept their eyes on the crowd, and the three people in the car were not idle either. They lifted the curtains on both sides of the car to look for someone.

But after searching for a while, not to mention Yang Dachun, no one from Houshan Village was seen.

The carriage stopped outside the refugee crowd surrounding the city gate. Fortunately, the refugees did not dare to come over when they saw the carriage.

"They shouldn't be here. I don't know where the people from Houshan Village have gone, let alone whether they came this way..."

Su Xiaofang's eyes were still searching, and her voice was full of melancholy.

"They should take this road. All the refugees in Qinghe Town took this road. The village head is not stupid. It's always right to follow the main force."

Sitting in the carriage, Su Laosan analyzed the situation for his sister.

Su Xiaofang was so worried that she started looking for him as soon as she left the city. The more she couldn't find him, the more worried she became, and her face was full of anxiety.

Su Qiuyi saw it all and knew that her aunt's dedication to them was much greater than that of their mother Xu Hui.

Not to mention the fact that Xu Hui sold out her younger sister this time, even in normal times, when they were bullied by the Su Li family, this aunt also tried her best to protect them. Fortunately, she did protect them, otherwise the original owner might have died hundreds of times before she came through.

"Aunt, let's walk the same way we came here. How can walking be faster than a carriage? Maybe we haven't even reached this point yet!"

She was not trying to comfort her aunt. This was really possible. After all, there might be many accidents along the way. Who could guarantee that the people in Houshan Village, or even the Yang family, could travel safely all the way?

Su Xiaofang knew that her niece was right. Since she didn't find her family at the city gate, this was the only thing she could do. If she couldn't find them by going back, she would come back to look for them again.

But now all that’s left is to find them. My brother’s family is now complete, so everything will be easy.

Moreover, with a carriage, they could travel for a few more days without any problem, and they also brought enough dry food and water.

I have to say that Su Xiaofang is really good at housekeeping. Before she left the inn, she brought several water bags in the car.

To explain where she got so many water bags, we have to start with the two hundred coins she had on her.

After buying the steamed buns and going back, the man ran out again and used all the 200 coins to buy a water bag. He filled it with water and put it in the cabinet under the carriage seat. Su Qiuyi only discovered it when he was moving the luggage.
