The next day, they set out early in the morning. Zhao Qiaoniang had a dream the day before. In the dream, they were caught and thrown into a snake cave.

She watched with her own eyes as Lin Wanwan was eaten clean by countless snakes and insects, and she was so scared that she trembled all over.

After breakfast, she said absentmindedly, "Aunt Bai, I had a dream. In the dream, we were arrested. Do you think what we did yesterday will leave any traces?"

Madam Bai patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be stressed. I think you might be under too much pressure."

"Well, I also heard that poisonous insects are very scary. If we are targeted by them, we will be in big trouble." Zhao Qiaoniang was scared.

Madam Bai looked at her and said:

"It's okay, you don't have to be too scared. The insect is indeed powerful, but there are ways to break it.

Let's take it one step at a time. We've already overcome all the difficulties ahead, so why should we be afraid of a mere governor like him?"

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded. With water and food along the way, their lives were pretty good.

Lin Fugui said loudly:

“Wushuang City is ahead. From here, I am very familiar with the direction of Bianjing.

But we still shouldn't enter Wushuang City, as it's a mixed bag."

Master Bai stroked his beard and said, "Then let's stay away from Wushuang City and find a secluded place. Let's rest here tonight!"

Then a group of soldiers came out and said, "Where are these refugees from? Refugees are not allowed here. If you want to rest, go to the refugee camp."

Master Bai quickly asked, "Excuse me, sir, where is the refugee camp?"

"Just keep going west and you will see it." The officers and soldiers ignored them.

Suddenly, a group of soldiers came out and said, "I heard something big happened yesterday. Master Fu made a bet with some young masters and took dozens of people to the mountains. He hasn't returned yet."

"What? What's going on?"

"Oh my god! This is the only son of the Fu family! If something really happens..."

"Okay, stop talking. We've been ordered to keep watch over the city gates. If anyone looks suspicious, we're to arrest them."

Master Bai listened for a long time before he and Zhao Qiaoniang stepped aside. Zhao Qiaoniang was feeling very nervous.

Master Bai said, "Let's go to the refugee camp first and stay there today. We'll cross the border early tomorrow morning."

There is a checkpoint ahead. These checkpoints are used for military defense, maintaining public order, and collecting taxes.

Now is a special period, and you have to pay for every checkpoint you pass.

They walked into the refugee camp, where simple tents and straw huts were crammed together, and the ground was covered with mud and filth.

There were old, weak, women and children in ragged clothes and with frightened eyes. They either huddled in a corner and cried silently, or wandered around the camp aimlessly looking for their relatives.

There were ruffians with ferocious faces and cunning eyes, who were whispering with others about how to plunder money and property from the newcomers.

There are also some strong men who look tired but fierce, and are always vigilant in guarding their small territory.

As soon as they entered the refugee camp, everyone's eyes were fixed on them. Some were curious, some were inquisitive, and some were whispering...

They found a quiet corner and sat down, then heard Sun Mei's voice: "Today is really unlucky. I didn't check the almanac before going out, and now I've encountered those unlucky stars again."

Zhao Qiaoniang raised her head and saw Sun Mei again. They hadn't seen each other for a long time.

Sun Mei, Bai Qian and Zhang Chunxi sat on the bench, eating melon seeds and basking in the sun.

Zhao Qiaoniang narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's stay away from them. It stinks here."

Sun Mei sneered and said, "Zhao Qiaoniang, why are you pretending? What's going on between you and that monk? Are you two together?"

Bai Qian spoke softly, "Actually, that monk is quite good. He's a good match for her, and he's also very generous."

Zhang Chunxi's face was full of disgust: "Shameless, all she does is hook up with men. If I were her, I would have hit my head against the wall and killed myself. She actually ran away."

Wang Qiuju also came over after hearing the news. She looked at Zhao Qiaoniang and said, "You're not dead, Zhao Qiaoniang. You're really lucky."

Before she knew it, Zhao Qiaoniang's team had nearly 200 people. She looked at the huge group and said, "Wow! You're quite capable! There are more and more people now. How can you afford to support so many people?"

Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her calmly and said, "Your life is pretty good now, isn't it? You even have an ox cart..."

There are now three ox carts in Linjia Village, plus Bai Qian’s, there are four ox carts in total.

Wangjia Village also has two ox carts, which were looted from Qushou City.

Wang Qiuju said with a smug look on her face, "That's right! An oxcart! You still don't have an oxcart! Tsk tsk tsk... Zhao Qiaoniang, you're doing pretty badly!"

Sun Mei also looked very proud. She walked over and said:

"Zhao Qiaoniang, how dare you still be alive?

It's all been defiled by the monk. If I were you, I would just hang myself on a crooked tree."

Zhao Qiaoniang scoffed and said, "Sun Mei, stop disgusting me. You know who your two children are fathered by. Do you really need me to explain it more clearly?"

"You're just slandering me, Zhao Qiaoniang. Do you have any evidence?"

Zhao Qiaoniang sneered and said, "Don't you know who your two children look like?"

Lin Dachang turned around suddenly and looked at Lin Ze and Lin Han. He was shocked. Sun Mei was so angry that she cursed:

"Manager Sun is my cousin. Nephews look like their uncles. So what's wrong with my two children looking like their uncles?

If your heart is unclean, then everything you see is unclean?"

Mulan said with a half-smile, "You know whether he is my uncle or not."

Before Lin Dachang could say anything, Lin Dasheng came out holding Lin Zao Zao and said, "Zhao Qiaoniang, you just want to destroy our family. My sister-in-law is always thinking about the family. How can you compare to her?"

He looked at the people behind Zhao Qiaoniang, both men and women, and felt even worse:

"Oh! You can actually support so many people? Can you feed them?

If you have that food, why don’t you give it to the Lin family?

If you really care about your family like my sister-in-law, how could I not want you?

You were so selfish before. You were capable, but you never contributed anything to the family."

Lin Wanwan was held in Mrs. Bai's arms. Looking at this scumbag father, she kicked her legs in anger. What kind of bastard is this?

Mrs. Bai patted her butt gently and said:

"What? Are you angry? Don't be angry. There are all kinds of people these days. They have no ability, but they have to blame women for their mistakes.

This kind of man is like a gutter bug, he belongs in the gutter, getting moldy and smelly."

Bai Qian suddenly said:

"Lin Dasheng is an honest man, what has he become because of you?

Some women are just too selfish. I don’t know what they’re thinking. They have to give up their good lives. I always think it’s not normal.”
