My treasure bowl connects the past and present; I've won everything on my journey into exile.

Xu Wuyan shook his head, "The time is a bit short, and we haven't found any clues yet."

However, if several girls disappear all at once, there will definitely be some clues left behind.

This person can't hide for long.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement; such matters couldn't withstand scrutiny.

Seeing that the line had already started moving forward, I glanced at the high threshold ahead.

She simply bent down, picked up the chair and herself, and strode towards the door.

Once they reached the road outside, they carefully put him down and instead pushed him outside.

I must say, the wheelchair that Xu Pingan found is quite useful.

Throughout this process, Xu Wuyan maintained a stern expression.

He ignored the envious glances from others.

Waaah, he can't ignore it even if he doesn't want to; there's nowhere to hide.

His wife is incredibly strong.

Just then, Xu Xianyu chased after them.

"sister in law!"

"Is something wrong?"

Lin Mo, who was pushing Xu Wuyan forward, turned her head to look at her, and then continued to push Xu Wuyan forward.

Xu Xianyu nodded.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke:

"Sister-in-law, are you really not going to take care of the girl who was taken away?"

"You pity them."

Xu Xianyu paused for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, you're right."

I felt sorry for them, so I thought if I could save them, I would.

"There are plenty of pitiful people in the world, how many do you pity?" Lin Mo glanced at her and shook her head.

"Besides, their families have already given up on saving them, so why are you so concerned?"

And do you know what will happen to you for meddling in this?

Seeing Xu Xianyu hesitate, he shook his head again:

"You know that, don't you?"

Once you soften your heart, these people will become like leeches, relentlessly sucking you dry.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lin Mo continued:

"Little Fish, you're not the kind of person who easily softens your heart. Tell me, why?"

Lin Mo knew exactly what kind of person Xu Xianyu was.

There must be a reason why she spoke up.

Xu Xianyu knew he couldn't hide it from her, and smiled bitterly:

"One of the girls who was taken away was named Wenruan; she was my best friend. I was a little worried about her, so..."

"Is it really the best?" Lin Mo shook her head.

"It's not there, is it?"

If that's the best-case scenario, why hasn't she come to see Xu Xianyu during all this time of exile?

On the contrary, Xu Xianyu went to the direction of the Wen family several times, but each time he went with high hopes and returned disappointed.

"Sister-in-law, you figured it out." Xu Xianyu's bitter smile deepened.

“You’re right, she distanced herself from me after the exile began.”

She wouldn't joke about her family's safety; she just said she would help if she could without endangering them, since her family was her friend.

There's nothing I can do to help; it's just her fate, and I can't blame anyone else.

Lin Mo shook her head, "It's better to distance yourself from friends like that."

When the Prince of Anping's mansion was in power, they naturally had to curry favor with you.

Now that we're all in the same boat, we naturally won't bother with you, so..."

Lin Mo looked at her again:

"Her sincerity towards you is very limited, and distancing yourself from her may not be a bad thing. On the road to exile, everyone has their own fate. You can help this time, but you can't help next time. It's already difficult enough for us to take care of ourselves."

Xu Xianyu nodded, "Sister-in-law, you're right. I was overthinking it."

Just then, Xu Pingan walked over:

"Young master, madam, we've found out."

Xu Wuyan nodded. "Speak."

Xu Pingan lowered his voice:

"Young master, I've inquired about the missing young lady."

Among the people they met yesterday, there was one person they had met in common: Wenruan.

Wenruan went to see them yesterday.

Lin Mo frowned and subconsciously glanced at Xu Xianyu.

If this gentle warmth hadn't been seen, they might have suspected it was indeed gentle warmth.

But Wenruan herself was also kidnapped.

So this is strange.

It's impossible for her to go with them willingly.

Xu Wuyan, sitting in his wheelchair, frowned.

He looked at Xu Xianyu, "Did Wen Ruan come looking for you last night?"

Xu Xianyu shook his head.

But Xu Mengxian, standing to the side, spoke up somewhat guiltily:

"Sister, she actually came to see you."

I made a few sarcastic remarks to her, and then she left. You were helping in the kitchen at the time and didn't notice.

Seeing Xu Xianyu staring at her, Xu Mengxian hurriedly explained:

"Sister, I... I just couldn't stand her, so I said a few sarcastic things to her."

"Who told her to treat you like this? You treated her like a friend, but she treats you like a fool."

"Well said," Xu Wuyan sneered.

"If she really did see your sister, then your sister will probably be one of the people she doesn't see now."

If I'm not mistaken, the missing girls were all secretly called out by her. That's why no one noticed their disappearance.

Xu Xianyu was startled.

He didn't speak for a while:

"Why? Why would she do that?"

Xu Wuyan glanced at her. "Who knows?"

Perhaps for money, perhaps for food, but she probably never imagined she would be taken away too.

At this point, Xu Wuyan shook his head.

Some people just reap what they sow.

Xu Xianyu didn't say anything more.

She wanted to slap herself now; she had just tried to save her.

"Trying to be clever," Lin Mo commented with four words.

"Dealing with bandits is worse than just digging a hole and burying yourself."

"Madam's evaluation is very fair." Xu Wuyan's lips curled slightly.

"Brother, sister-in-law," Xu Mengxian said curiously, leaning closer.

"What do you think will happen to the girl who was kidnapped?"

"Sell yourself to a brothel, or become his boss's wife." Lin Mo glanced at her indifferently.

"Want to become a bandit chief's wife? As long as you don't get caught by the government, you can live a life of luxury and comfort with the bandit leader."

Xu Mengxian quickly shook her head and stepped back:

"No, I don't want to at all. I can endure hardship."

Waaah, my sister-in-law is picking on me again.

When will my sister-in-law finally find me more agreeable?

"If you don't want to, then behave yourself and don't act on your own." Lin Mo's voice was calm, and she also glanced at Xu Xianyu.

"Xu Xianyu, you too, mind your own business and don't concern yourself with other people's affairs. On the road to exile, if you're not selfish, you'll be the next one to die."

The Xu sisters both nodded.

After the two sisters boarded the carriage, Lin Mo looked at Xu Wuyan:

Will you think I'm meddling?

If Lin Mo didn't give them a serious warning, she was afraid they wouldn't take it seriously and would get into trouble.

The further north you go, the more ruthless the people you encounter become.

If you meddle in other people's business and get involved with them, you'll be in big trouble.

"No." Xu Wuyan shook his head.

"They should be taught to be more careful, so as not to cause trouble for themselves and others. Madam is right to teach them a lesson."

At this point, Xu Wuyan turned his head and tilted it slightly upwards:

"Madam, there is something I need to tell you."

"Speak!" Lin Mo nodded, but she felt a moment of unease as he stared intently at her.

dry cough:

"Doesn't your neck get tired from twisting your head like that?"

"I'm not tired, I..."

"Xu Wuyan, let me push you!"

Murong rushed out from the side, grabbed the handle of the wheelchair, and pushed Xu Wuyan forward with a smile.

Xu Wuyan's face darkened instantly.

That bastard Murong, he did it on purpose, didn't he?

His face darkened immediately, and he roared:

"Murong, stop right now, I don't need you to push me."

"Stop what?" Murong ran even faster:

"I've finally found a new source of fun, and you want me to give it up? That would be so boring."

I must have misheard you. You told me to run faster, didn't you?

Here we go, let's speed things up!

"Murong!"

……

Looking at the two people arguing in front of her, Lin Mo's face flashed with envy.

Their relationship grew stronger and stronger.

pretty good.

Because of the incident in the morning, the day was unusually quiet.

During the lunch break, because of the kidnapping, no one dared to wander around and everyone stayed quietly with their families.

Lin Mo naturally wouldn't let these things affect her mood.

Now that everyone knows she has money and food, they no longer hide their wealth and deprive themselves of food, but eat openly and honestly.

After all, you need to be well-fed to have the energy to walk.

……

By evening, most people were so hungry that they were weak and unsteady on their feet. If they hadn't been helping each other, they probably would have fallen to the ground.

"Master Wei, how much longer do we have to walk? I can't go on, I'm so hungry, I can't walk anymore."

"Me too, Master Wei, how much longer until we reach the post station!"

"I can't walk anymore, I'm so hungry!"

……

Old Wei peeked out from the carriage and sneered:

“驿站？”

"I'm telling you, we'll be staying in this dilapidated temple tonight."

"It's just ahead, all of you hurry up and stop dawdling."

He Da Dong, meanwhile, rode his horse backward, whipping it.

"Did you hear what Master Wei said? Hurry up."

If you hurry up and get to the ruined temple, you'll have time to find something to eat.

"You're wasting time by dragging your feet; you might as well starve to death."

……

The simple words "finding food" motivated many people, and their unsteady steps quickened.

When they saw the dilapidated temple, everyone rushed forward excitedly, hoping to find a good spot to put down their luggage and then go find something to eat.

But the people who rushed into the ruined temple first ran out screaming the next second:

"Ahhh, help!"

……
