Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

"But I couldn't find the ship, so I asked other people at the port. They said there was a thunderstorm and strong wind last night, and a large ship had sunk for some reason. They were planning to find someone to help pull the ship up and search for the treasure when the weather cleared up."

"So I asked the boatman where he was going. He showed me the way. I asked along the way and found the place. But there was only leftover wine and meat, as well as some blood."

The atmosphere in the room grew oppressive, and Li Mofu began to understand what had happened yesterday. Someone had deliberately sunk their boat, and the boatmen, who had been eating meat and drinking heavily upon reaching land, had been stabbed and killed during the night. Their bodies were likely dumped in the river...

"Go prepare horses. If there are no horses, buy donkeys. This place is not far from Jiangnan. We can ride horses along the mountain path." Wang Ruiyan suddenly spoke.

Li Mofu paused and said, "But can you ride a horse like this?"

"If you can't ride, you will die. Don't worry about me. Disguise yourself and get ready. We will leave at the latest tomorrow morning." Wang Ruiyan said firmly.

Seeing this, Li Mofu didn't say anything more. Most of their luggage was on the boat. Now that the boat sank, only some clothes and money were left, which saved a lot of burden.

As for the servants, there weren't many, only ten. However, relying solely on horses was impossible; a simple cart was still needed, so gathering horses and donkeys for so many people took quite a bit of effort.

Mo Yi quickly left to prepare. After he left, Wang Ruiyan began to tremble all over. "I didn't expect it to come so soon... If it hadn't rained yesterday, we might have reached Jiangnan tomorrow..."

"Madam... don't say that, we will be fine. In addition to Guard Mo, we also brought five strong servants, so we will be safe on this journey." Qiuxiang sat next to Wang Ruiyan, hugged her and said.

Li Mofu was also a little panicked. He had neither skills nor strong psychological qualities. His only "golden finger" was a bead that could only transform three times. Moreover, this bead could only allow him to turn into the animal he was most familiar with. In other words, couldn't he only turn into a cat?

"It's okay, sir. Go back and have some rest now. Mo Yi will be ready soon. We might even leave tonight." Guozi patted Li Mofu's shoulder gently and said.

"Yes, madam, if we really have to travel overnight, it's better for us to stay in good spirits. It's too early to be sad now." Qiuxiang said.

Wang Ruiyan blinked her red eyes. Perhaps it was because of her pregnancy, or perhaps it was because she had never encountered such a thing before, but she had been in a low mood recently.

"......Yes, Mofu, you should go back and rest soon. If it's fast, we will leave overnight." Wang Ruiyan said after calming herself down.

Li Mofu paused, then nodded and left. Returning from the first floor to the second, Li Mofu began to nervously check his things: the medicine in the bookcase, the money in the hairpin, the important transformation beads, and his two cats.

Li Mofu hung the Transformation Pearl around his neck and would not take it off even when taking a bath, so if something unexpected happened he would definitely not forget the Transformation Pearl.

Just his two cats...

Li Mofu put them into the bookcase, but they jumped out again. It was impossible for him to treat them like objects and just pick them up and take them away when something happened.

"...I give up." Li Mofu felt that he was crazy. If something unexpected happened, he might not be able to take care of himself, but now he was still thinking about what to do with the cat.

The big orange cat licked the fur on its paws, then squatted on the ground and looked up at Li Mofu, who was sitting on the ground with a bit of a mental breakdown. The little bird also squatted beside Li Mofu and looked at him, not understanding why this human stuffed it into the bookcase.

Guozi was unpacking his bag while observing Li Mofu. Seeing Li Mofu's expression, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said with a smile, "Sir, this lotus leaf chicken is getting cold. Come and have some. If we leave tonight, I don't know when we'll be able to eat such delicious lotus leaf chicken again."

"......Yeah." Li Mofu responded.

After eating, Li Mofu leaned against the bed and dozed off, fully armed. Mo Yi never came back, not even after they finished dinner and it was dark.

It was past midnight and Mo Yi still didn't return to the inn.

Li Mofu had waited for too long and fell asleep leaning against the bed. Guozi also fell asleep on the couch. Everyone in the inn was resting in peace and quiet.

"Swish"

Hearing some noise, Big Orange suddenly opened his eyes, then stood up, bent his body and stretched, then jumped off the bed. Little Bird yawned when he saw it woke up and followed it happily. Both cats shrank under the bed.

"Squeak, whoosh!"

A strange sound.

"It's gone!!!"

"Hurry, hurry, there's a fire!"

"Who are you?! What are you doing?!"

Guozi was startled awake by a loud noise and a pungent smell. He quickly realized that the inn was on fire. He quickly woke up Li Mofu, who was still sleeping, and said, "Master! Master, get up quickly! There's a fire! We have to run!"

Li Mofu suddenly opened his eyes, was stunned for a second, and immediately jumped out of bed, then said anxiously, "Daju..."

"Let's go! It's too late, sir! Let's go!" Guozi pulled Li Mofu towards the door.

When Li Mofu was still looking around in confusion to find the cat, the door was forcefully slammed open and two clerks in yamen uniforms rushed in with knives in their hands.

"There are still people here! Bring a rope quickly!" a clerk shouted outside the door.

"What do you want to do!" Guozi pulled Li Mofu behind him in fear.

"What!? Of course..."

Before the clerk could finish, Li Mofu fiercely picked up a chair and threw it at the two clerks, "What else can we do? They must be here to arrest us!"
