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

As soon as he came back, Mo Yi immediately told them to hurry up, as if he was unwilling to stay for even a moment. Seeing him say that, the others did not hesitate either. Some got on the donkey, some took things, and some carried cats.

Perhaps because this road was too close to the town they'd just visited, Mo Yi was driving them very fast, only slowing down when they reached a different mountain road. Li Mofu's legs were sore from all the traveling these days, and if he didn't massage them before bed, he'd experience the "growing pains" all over again.

"How is it? Is there any news in town?" Li Mofu asked breathlessly while leaning on his crutches.

Guozi and Xiaoqi were both carrying a lot of newly bought things and were breathing heavily. Guozi said, "In town, there's a notice posted with a portrait of the lady, but it doesn't include ours. It just describes us as a group of five. The notice also says that if we capture the lady, we can't report her harshly, but hand her over to the authorities and she'll be rewarded with 500 taels of silver."

The others didn't say much after hearing this. It was normal for Wang Ruiyan, a rich lady, to have a portrait. As for these people, even if someone else painted them, it would be impossible for them to look like them. After all, the painter had never seen them. In addition, the uneducated clerks had few words to describe their appearance, and the government probably didn't bother to hire a painter.

"Put something on the donkey's back, otherwise it will be difficult to travel." Wang Ruiyan looked back at them and said.

Xiaoqi cheered immediately, and then tied the heavier things on his body to the donkey's back. Seeing this, Guozi also tied his own things on the donkey, and then helped Li Mofu carry the two cats.

"Sir, please carry this. It's lighter." Guozi said as he handed a bundle to Li Mofu.

Li Mofu sniffed and said, "Yes, it smells like meat!"

Guozi smiled and said, "Eat it during the break. You can't just keep eating dry food. Your body can't handle it."

"I want to eat a chicken leg!" Xiao Qi said cheeringly.

Qiuxiang was walking beside the donkey and heard it and asked, "Did you buy some preserved sour fruits?"

"I bought it, it's all in the bag." Guozi said.

Qiuxiang thanked them with a smile, then said a few words to Wang Ruiyan, and then the six of them began their long journey. Gradually, no one spoke anymore, as they had to save their energy to take quick steps.

They walked until dark, and then Mo Yi led them to an open space to rest. After this trip, Li Mofu had lost all his appetite. Of course, this was only superficial. When the hot meat was stuffed into his mouth, he couldn't stop eating.

This journey continued for another seven days, until one day when they stood on the mountain and looked out, they saw a city. There were many cultivated fields and farmhouses around the city, a long stream passed through the city, and large areas of rice fields were green and tall.

"Wow, this is Jiangnan? They also farm?" Guozi exclaimed.

Li Mofu was embarrassed. "They also have their own granaries, so of course they have to farm!"

"This is just the edge of Jiangnan City. It looks like we'll need two more days of walking to get there." Mo Yi said softly.

Wang Ruiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the scenery. The torment of these days was finally over.

The six of them continued their journey for two days in high spirits, finally arriving halfway up the mountainside. Entering the city meant walking down the mountain a little further. However, Mo Yi didn't take them in immediately. Instead, he asked them to wait on the mountain while he went to the city first.

The remaining five of them were placed in a dry cave, which was surprisingly cool in the summer. Li Mofu was now dressed like a peasant and hadn't bathed for two or three days. He even smelled bad.

"Young master has gotten a lot darker." Guozi said as he sat down next to Li Mofu.

Li Mofu yawned while leaning against a rock. The two cats were playing on the rock, and insects would crawl out from the cracks in the rock from time to time.
