Li Mofu's hands and feet were weak, so he climbed onto the blanket and fell down, closing his eyes and falling asleep without saying a word. Seeing that everyone else had also lain down to sleep, Guozi carefully took the two cats out of the bookcase, and then took medicine to rebandage Mo Yi.
In the early morning, Guozi finished his night watch. He looked at the sky and blinked hard to wake himself up. Then, yawning, he went to wake Li Mofu up. "Master, it's time to get up. We have to hurry. Master, wake up quickly."
Li Mofu lay motionless, sleeping very soundly. In the past, he could change 108 sleeping positions, but last night he really didn't move after lying down. It was more like he fainted from exhaustion than falling asleep.
"Young Master?" Guozi pushed Li Mofu a few times, but Li Mofu didn't respond. He frowned and reached out to check Li Mofu's breath. Seeing that he was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Young Master, get up and get going!" Guozi continued to call Li Mofu.
Finally, Li Mofu opened his eyes amidst his constant "harassment", revealing a pair of dead fish eyes devoid of any desire.
"Young master, are you awake? Get up quickly and eat something, we have to get going." Guozi said with a smile.
Li Mofu glanced at Guozi numbly, then closed his eyes, enduring the pain. "...I'm so tired."
Guozi vigorously helped Li Mofu up from the blanket, "You can't sleep any more, young master. You are the only one who hasn't gotten up yet!"
Under Guozi's strong pull, Li Mofu finally stood up. He felt sore all over and his fingers ached as he stood there. When he thought about having to hurry on his journey today, he felt that his life was coming to an end.
Guozi put away the blanket, and the two cats tried to snatch it from him energetically. Guozi stood up and dodged them.
"Come and eat!" The little beggar was also very energetic, shouting while chewing on the hot cake.
Li Mofu looked numbly at the people who were eating cakes around the fire not far away. He yawned involuntarily and was about to walk towards them when the big orange man behind him pounced on his calf. He staggered and his legs were weak, so Li Mofu fell to the ground again with a "bang".
“…”Other people beside the fire.
"Young Master! Why are you lying down again!" Guozi put the blanket away and turned around to see Li Mofu lying there. He hurried over to pull him up.
After a while, the six people put out the fire and set off again.
Seeing that Li Mofu looked like he was about to die, Mo Yi cut a crutch for him. With the support of the crutch and the fruit, Li Mofu felt a little better.
The weather in June was already hot, and it was no different in the mountains, except that it was hot during the day and cool at night, with a slight temperature difference between day and night. They avoided the main roads and walked along small paths, woods, and streams with their donkeys. After five days of walking, they needed to buy some new food.
"Xiaoqi, are you clean?" Guozi asked as he walked downstream to the stream.
Xiao Qi jumped out of the water like a wild child, "I'm done!"
Guozi looked at his messy hair and smiled bitterly, "It's not healed yet! You need to wash your hair too. Squat down and I'll comb it for you."
Xiao Qi squatted down with his eyes blinking, muttering, "My hair is very clean now."
"No, we are going to town soon. You can't go like this. Others will know that we haven't taken a shower for many days and will become suspicious." Guozi took out a comb and started combing his hair bit by bit.
On the other side, Li Mofu was leaning against a rock, holding a cat and enjoying the hard-earned happy time. Mo Yi was fishing, Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang had already gone downstream to take a bath, and Qiuxiang was combing Wang Ruiyan's hair at this moment.
"Madam, are you feeling unwell?" Qiuxiang asked softly.
Wang Ruiyan yawned. Ever since she started escaping, she hadn't been so concerned about her image. "The sun has warmed my water, so I'm not uncomfortable."
"That's good." Qiuxiang said with a smile.
These days, Daju and Xiaoque either eat fish or soaked flatbread with Li Mofu. Although they don't need to travel, they have lost a lot of weight. Mo Yi said that they get up every night to keep watch with him and Guozi.
"Can I go to town later?" Li Mofu asked lazily.
Mo Yi didn't catch any fish and put away his stick. "No, Master Li, follow us and wait for Guozi and Xiaoqi to come out in front of the town."
"......" Li Mofu's fantasy of having a feast was shattered.
At this time, Guozi and Xiaoqi, who had dried his hair, came up and said, "We're ready!"
So everyone continued on their way. Halfway through, Guozi and Xiaoqi walked down the mountain, while they continued to move forward along the mountain road.
Guozi and Xiaoqi's mission was very simple. First, they would observe at the town entrance to see if there was anyone guarding the entrance and exit. If there was, they would just give up. If not, they would go in to buy some dry food and other food, and by the way, find out if there was any new news.
As for the dangers of buying horses and donkeys, Mo Yi's advice is to go to the villagers to buy them individually, rather than going to the town to buy them.
They continued walking along the mountain road until the afternoon. Mo Yi climbed up a tree to look at the location and asked them to stop.
"It's almost time. You guys stay here and pay attention to your surroundings. I'll go down to pick them up." Mo Yi said after jumping down from the tree.
Li Mofu nodded, "No problem, go quickly and come back soon."
Soon Mo Yi jumped down the slope along the tree next to him and headed towards the town, leaving only Li Mofu, Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang guarding the place.
"Qiuxiang, help me up." Wang Ruiyan suddenly said while sitting on the donkey.
Li Mofu heard this and quickly helped Qiuxiang hold the donkey. "Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, my waist hurts after riding the donkey for a long time." Wang Ruiyan sat on the stone next to her and sighed.
Li Mofu looked at her with some worry, "How long will it take us to get to Jiangnan?"
"It will be almost done, don't worry, it's okay." Wang Ruiyan comforted.
