Before confiscating their property, they emptied the imperial city and exiled them!

Furthermore, the carriages used this time were significantly different from those used in the past.

Not only have sturdy railings been added to the front to ensure passenger safety, but a rain and wind shield has also been added to the top.

In this way, even in bad weather, the people inside the car can remain safe and sound.

Lin Xiaoxiao, inside the carriage, enjoyed a more comfortable and convenient environment.

Not only are there soft beds and curtains to block the view and protect privacy, but even the car windows are carefully fitted with curtains.

In addition, there was a desk specifically for her to read and write, as well as several drawers for storing items.

It is worth mentioning that a balcony-like space has been specially reserved at the rear of the carriage.

Unfortunately, the place is now filled with all sorts of clutter, making it impossible to fulfill its original recreational function.

You should know that Lin Xiaoxiao put so much effort into building this carriage so that she could enjoy it to the fullest when she went out for a trip.

However, things took an unexpected turn, and now the carriage has come in handy again—becoming an indispensable means of transportation for their escape.

As night fell, the group finally found a grove of trees to rest in.

Despite the biting wind all around, the thought that they only needed to persevere for another two days to reach the next town brought them some comfort, and the journey didn't feel too difficult.

At this time, heavy snow was still falling from the sky, and the villagers could only use what they had on hand. They brought some cloth from their homes and tied it to the trees to serve as a makeshift shelter to protect themselves from the wind and snow.

"Oh dear! The water has frozen! How are we going to cook?" The villagers stared wide-eyed at the large wooden barrels filled with ice on the oxcart, their faces full of worry, at a loss for what to do.

You should know that in order to reach their destination as quickly as possible, they didn't dare to stop for a short rest or a hot meal at noon.

I had planned to get some rest when I arrived at my destination that evening, but who would have thought that even something as basic as cooking would become so difficult?

Although the village chief looked exhausted, he still mustered all his strength and shouted, "Don't panic, everyone! Listen to my instructions. Let's go and gather some firewood, then start a fire, and move all these buckets of ice water next to the fire."

If we just wait patiently for a while, and the ice slowly melts, then we can cook!

However, the villagers had been traveling all day and were exhausted, feeling like their bodies were falling apart.

Upon hearing that they still had to gather firewood and start a fire, many people felt an indescribable sense of annoyance and exhaustion.

However, they were all aware of the unpleasant things that had recently happened to the village chief's family, so even though they had a lot of dissatisfaction and anxiety in their hearts, they did not show it on the surface.

After all, they were all neighbors and fellow villagers, and they should help each other out in times of need, right? So, everyone gritted their teeth and dragged their heavy legs to start searching for firewood...

All of Lin Xiaoxiao's buckets had frozen over, but fortunately, there was still plenty of water in her carriage, enough to quench their thirst.

After Lin Xiaoxiao had Eleven boil some water, she delivered it to the Chen family and the others in the carriage.

As the carriage slowly came to a stop, the little ones, who had been somewhat drowsy, suddenly seemed to be injected with new energy, and their interest instantly soared.

They blinked their big, bright eyes and looked around curiously.

Lin Xiaoxiao gently held their chubby, soft little hands, a helpless yet doting smile on her face.

She said softly, "Look how excited you all are. Could it be that the swaying of the carriage while traveling has become your comfortable cradle?"

As she spoke, she gently pinched the children's rosy cheeks.

At this moment, the wet nurses who had been waiting nearby saw that the two little ones had woken up and quickly came forward to carefully take them down from the carriage.

She quickly found a quiet place to sit down and prepared to breastfeed her children. Soon, the sounds of the two little ones suckling eagerly could be heard; they looked absolutely adorable.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiaoxiao, sitting inside the carriage, was not idle either.

She began to put on her clothes in an orderly manner.

Outside the carriage, the bustling villagers were busy at work.

Night was falling, but there was nowhere in their resting place tonight that could shelter them from the storm.

Therefore, everyone knew that they had to gather more firewood to ensure enough to burn for the whole night, otherwise the cold and dark night would be unbearable.

At the same time, Lin Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked towards Su's carriage.

When she lifted the curtain and stepped into the carriage, she immediately saw Liu, who looked somber and sad.

Looking at her aunt, who was immersed in grief, Lin Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words to comfort her.

After all, news of Song Shijun's misfortune had already spread throughout the village, and everyone believed that it was just a heartbreaking accident.

If we really have to assign blame, it can probably only be attributed to that group of ferocious and bloodthirsty enemy soldiers.

Meanwhile, Chen, who had also suffered a heavy blow, was pale as a sheet, and her physical condition was deteriorating.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziyuan, a skilled physician, came to her aid in time. He carefully diagnosed Chen's condition and prescribed a meticulously formulated medicine to help her recover her health as soon as possible.

"Why are you here? Where's the child?"

When Su saw Lin Xiaoxiao coming over, she asked her with concern.

"The baby is being breastfed, and Le Yao and Eleven are guarding him. Everything will be fine," Lin Xiaoxiao explained to Su Shi.

Since Lin Xiaoxiao gave birth, she had been cared for by Madam Su and the wet nurse when she was at home, but now they have suddenly disappeared.

She was deeply worried.

But now is a special time, and her mother-in-law, Chen, also needs someone to take care of her, so she has no choice but to stay in this carriage.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the exhausted Chen Shi and said worriedly, "Let Grandmother rest in the carriage over there tonight. Otherwise, it's freezing cold, and Grandmother's body won't be able to handle it."

Lin Xiaoxiao had barely finished speaking when she was rejected by the Chen family.

"No need, it's not cold in this carriage with a charcoal stove burning. You just need to take good care of the child." She didn't want to cause Lin Xiaoxiao any trouble.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is our spot."

"What do you mean 'your location'? Are your names written here?"

"How can you be so unreasonable? This is a fire we lit specifically for this place, so of course it's our spot."

Suddenly, a quarrel broke out outside the carriage.
