Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

The group traveled for another hour, and it gradually got dark.

Based on the distance, if we continue forward, we might reach the Sky Bridge just as night falls.

The Tianzhan Bridge is already difficult to cross, and with the added cold winter wind and snow, crossing it at night would be even more dangerous.

So Lian Jinghuai immediately decided to find a safe place to spend the night.

However, there are not many caves near Kunshan, and it is even more difficult to find a cave that can accommodate more than 20 people and supplies.

Fortunately, there was a flat area nearby that could accommodate ten donkey carts.

However, setting up camp outside is always dangerous, so Lian Rongrong suggested arranging the cars in a circle so that everyone could notice any unusual activity from any direction immediately.

In addition, the men in the team were paired up and put on night watch. Each pair worked for one hour to ensure everyone's safety.

To keep warm, Lian Rongrong had everyone light a fire in the middle of the circle.

But Wang Yang ridiculed this suggestion.

"Hey cousin, everyone's clearly sleeping in the carriages, what's the point of starting a fire outside? Isn't that just a waste of resources?"

Looking at Wang Yang's annoying face, Lian Rongrong was too lazy to explain, but Lin Chuyue wouldn't tolerate it.

"Wang Yang, you're making excuses and refusing to take night duty. Don't you care about the lives of others?"

Although an hour isn't much, what kind of weather is this? Let's light a fire so that the people on duty can at least keep warm.

"Moreover, wild animals often roam these mountains, and most of them are afraid of fire, which adds another layer of safety."

Lian Yijun wasn't as excited as his wife, but he fully agreed with his younger sister's decision.

Wang Yang was speechless after being rebuked, and could only walk away dejectedly.

"This family is really annoying!" Lin Chuyue was furious at Wang Yang's lazy strolling.

On the contrary, Lian Rongrong was more emotionally stable. She had gotten used to the disgusted look of Lian Xiuyan and her two children along the way.

If these three ever stop causing trouble, even Rongrong might find it hard to adjust.

"Sister-in-law, why get angry at someone like that? I have something good, let's go!"

Lian Rongrong pulled Lin Chuyue to the donkey cart where Qi Yuan was.

Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Lian Rongrong suddenly come over.

"What's the matter?" Qi Yuan asked first.

"Get some things." Lian Rongrong stopped in front of Qi Yuan. When they were moving supplies, Lian Rongrong had put all the hot water bottles in the car where Qi Yuan was.

Qi Yuan smiled slightly and teased, "Didn't you say you'd give me everything in this car?"

Hearing Qi Yuan say this, Lian Rongrong couldn't help but roll her eyes, but she still patiently explained to Qi Yuan:

"I'll give you all the food and clothes, but there's one thing inside that I need to take out."

"Oh? What?"

"You'll see when you take it out. Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged!"

Lian Rongrong's tone made it sound as if Qi Yuan were a beggar waiting for charity.

Since I can remember, no one has ever spoken to Qi Yuan in such an attitude.

However, Qi Yuan wasn't angry. He just shook his head, jumped out of the car, and let Lian Rongrong rummage through the tent.

Before long, Lian Rongrong jumped out carrying a lot of strange things.

Her dashing appearance truly lacked any of the reserve one would expect from a wealthy young lady.

"What is this?" Lin Chuyue looked at the thing in Lian Rongrong's hand with a puzzled expression and couldn't help but ask.

"This is..." Lian Rongrong hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"It's a kind of hot water bottle. But it's better than a regular hot water bottle, and it keeps the water warm for a longer time."

There's more inside, sister-in-law, please take all of those out. I've already asked Chun Tao and the others to boil water.

"We'll fill the pot with hot water in a bit, and then we can use it."

Lian Rongrong looked smug, as if she had done something extraordinary.

Qi Yuan looked at Lian Rongrong's smiling face, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up again.

Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue brought back all the hot water bottles, and at this time Chun Tao and the others had also boiled the water.

After filling the hot water bottles one by one, Lian Rongrong instructed several maids to distribute the filled hot water bottles to each carriage.

Lian Rongrong brought enough hot water bottles; three or four were distributed to each car.

The old lady and Lian Jinghuai's car had even more, with as many as five or six hot water bottles.

With the hot water bottle placed inside the bedding, you can lie down without feeling the cold outside.

Moreover, the heat from the fire mostly enveloped the middle of the convoy, so everyone slept very soundly that night.

As a result, Lian Rongrong gained more and more recognition from everyone. But the more this happened, the more annoyed Wen Hui and Wang Yue became.

The next morning, Wen Hui and Wang Yue went to relieve themselves together, but they accidentally discovered a trap pit in the nearby woods.

When the two returned, they saw a crowd gathered around Lian Rongrong, chatting and laughing.

Wen Hui and Wang Yue exchanged a glance, and from each other's expressions, they knew that they were both unhappy.

"Moon, do you want to see her make a fool of herself?"

After Lian Yicheng unhesitatingly chose to share a carriage with Lian Rongrong, Wen Hui stopped pretending in front of Wang Yue.

Because she needed an ally, someone who hated Lian Rongrong as much as she did, and Wang Yue was the perfect candidate.

"Of course I want to see it, Second Sister-in-law. What do you suggest?"

Upon hearing that she could embarrass Lian Rongrong, Wang Yue was already itching to get started and couldn't wait.

"That girl cares most about her precious son. As long as you can find a way to get Fu Bao out, she will definitely lose her composure."

Then we'll lure her to the animal trap, and once she falls in..."

Wen Hui had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of malice.

"That's a good idea, but how do we steal Fu Bao out?" Wang Yue glanced at Lian Rongrong's car and continued:

"That little thing is always surrounded by people. I bet Chun Tao is guarding it right now."

"That's easy, just get Chun Tao away. You just say..." Wen Hui leaned closer to Wang Yue and muttered a few words in a low voice.

Wang Yue listened attentively, but she still hesitated after Wen Hui finished speaking.

"Second sister-in-law, this lie is easy to expose. Grandmother is in good health, and it will be found out to be false afterward."

Besides... I was the one who sent Chun Tao away. If Fu Bao disappears, I'll be the first person everyone suspects!

Wen Hui silently complained to herself: How come this idiot has suddenly grown a brain again? What a nuisance!

Despite thinking this way, Wen Hui still smiled and said to Wang Yue:

"My silly sister, how could your second sister-in-law possibly let you get away?"

Here, take this. It's a sleeping potion; just a little bit is enough to keep the little guy asleep for half a day.

You don't need to take the child with you; just hide him in another car. Hide the child and go to the old lady immediately.

Everyone will be your witness, and besides, our goal is that girl.

Once she falls into the animal trap, who will care about the child? After all, the child will eventually be safe and sound.

"I've done everything, so what are you doing, Second Sister-in-law?"

Wang Yue is finally not so stupid anymore. But compared to Wen Hui, she is still too naive.

Wen Hui seemed to have anticipated Wang Yue's question. She smiled slightly and lowered her voice, saying:

"Naturally, we should make the lie seem more believable."

"What do you mean?"

"You'll find out soon!"
