Following Mo Yi, the few of them soon found Guozi, who was leading a donkey and carrying a book box. Guozi also had some bags hanging on his chest, which were the dry food and clothes he had bought specially.

"Master! Madam!" Guozi walked towards them, leading the donkey.

As soon as the donkey came, Mo Yi asked Wang Ruiyan to get on it without any explanation, and then took them directly to another mountain without giving them any time to rest.

"Is there any water? Madam needs to drink some water to relax." Qiuxiang asked.

Guozi quickly took the water bottle from the bookcase and handed it to her. Wang Ruiyan drank several sips in one breath while riding on the road and recovered. "I almost died on the road. I give up."

Li Mofu pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed twice, then he saw the little beggar still following them. He patted the little beggar on the shoulder and said, "Little guy, aren't you going back?"

The little beggar patted his chest and said, "I collect money from people and help them get rid of disasters. Aren't you going to Jiangnan? Then I will take you there."

"You can be bribed with a few coins? You are useless." Li Mofu said with a smile.

The little beggar snorted, "People in the underworld care about favors. When someone gives me something when I need it, that's a favor."

"Hey," Li Mofu teased as they walked, "You're still a little knight."

The little beggar was a little tired and couldn't help saying, "Don't hold me up, it's too heavy!"

"......" Li Mofu withdrew his hand helplessly. He didn't expect that his intention was discovered. He was so tired from walking.

Guozi smiled and supported Li Mofu, saying, "We've come this far, let him follow us. It's too dangerous to go back now."

Li Mofu didn't care, but he still looked at Mo Yi who was helping Wang Ruiyan pull the donkey, "Mo Yi, can you keep him?"

"Madam, it's up to you to decide." Mo Yi said.

Wang Ruiyan smiled at the little beggar from her donkey, then asked, "You're leaving your hometown like this, don't you miss it? It's very dangerous to follow us."

"A good man should regard the world as his home. Besides, I don't have a home anymore..." said the little beggar.

Wang Ruiyan asked, "How old are you?"

"Seven years old." said the little beggar.

"Then you can follow us from now on. What's your name?" Wang Ruiyan asked.

"My name is Xiaoqi." said the little beggar.

Wang Ruiyan touched her belly and said softly, "Okay, if everything goes well, you can be a playmate for this child."

Li Mofu clearly saw Xiao Qi smiling widely, so he also smiled, hoping that the road ahead would be smooth.

"......So how long do we have to walk?" Li Mofu asked coldly.

Mo Yi said in front, "We have to at least reach the mountain opposite tonight. We will try to avoid the county town on the way there. If necessary, we can send one or two people to the town to buy things. We can only eat and sleep in the wild."

Li Mofu almost couldn't catch his breath. He looked at the blankets hanging on the donkey's butt and combined with what Mo Yi just said, he felt that these blankets would most likely be his sleeping partners for the next few months.

However, no matter how uncomfortable it was, I didn't miss a single step on the path I was supposed to take.

All six of them were exhausted. After a brief chat, they quietly continued on their journey. Their group had only one donkey, which had to carry Wang Ruiyan and the blankets and other belongings, and since donkeys get tired, only one person could sit on it. The other five were all walking, also on a small path. By the end, Li Mofu had to hold onto a branch to keep from shaking.

There are many animals that come out at night, and from time to time some movement can be heard in the nearby woods. Mo Yi always takes a look and only looks away after confirming that it is not a person.

In the second half of the night, the group began to look for a place to rest for a while, and Li Mofu's eyes were already dazed from walking. Sometimes when he saw the two cats sleeping in the book box, he felt only envy and jealousy.

Damn it, he also wants someone to carry him.

In the end, the six people could only spread blankets on an open space to rest, and they could only rest for two hours, and then they had to continue on their journey.

"Young master, please take a rest." Guozi patted the blanket and said.
