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

Zhou Yuxuan felt very unlucky.

The suffering she has endured these past few days is equivalent to the sum of her entire life.

First, Lin Mo was beaten, and then she was beaten again on the orders of a eunuch.

Old injuries combined with new ones caused her to collapse to the ground, unable to get up.

And there was blood on the spot.

Although her family applied medicine and bandaged her up at the Wind and Rain Pavilion yesterday.

But because she was rushing, her wound reopened, and the pain made her dizzy.

I finally got a break, but I couldn't find a spot, so I had to make do by the fire outside in the yard.

I thought this was bad enough, but then it started raining heavily in the middle of the night.

Her husband and children had all run away, and no one remembered her.

This caused her to stand in the rain for a long time.

She developed a fever before dawn.

After taking the medicine and resting for a day in the carriage, he finally felt a little better when we set up camp that night, but he could only lie down.

Unexpectedly, after eating, the wound on her buttocks started to itch inexplicably.

And it's getting itchier and itchier, the kind of itchiness that seeps into your bones.

She couldn't help herself and reached out to scratch, which finally suppressed the itch.

But if I don't scratch, the itch will creep up my body.

Without realizing it, she scratched her wounds until they were bloody and mangled.

The combination of itching and pain made her cry out in agony.

"Ouch...it hurts!"

"It itches, it itches so much, it's killing me with its itch."

……

Zhou Yuxuan's painful screams were louder than the doctor's.

Seeing that something was wrong, and that her buttocks were soaked in blood and she was still trying to grab them, Shen Qingyun quickly called her two sons to hold her hands and feet down.

"Bear with it, don't grab me anymore, or I'll die." Shen Qingyun's face was twisted and terrifying.

"Master, I'm so itchy, and it hurts so much too." Zhou Yuxuan's voice was already hoarse from wailing.

"Let me go! Let me go! I need a scratch!"

"Ahhh!"

"Help!"

……

Shen Qingyun's face was very pale. He didn't understand why his wife had suddenly become like this.

Right now!

Snapped!

Old Wei came out and lashed the ground with his whip, making a piercing sound.

Old Wei glared angrily at the Shen family:

"What are you howling about?"

"Gag her. If she disturbs my sleep again, I'll whip her to death."

The Shen family panicked and quickly stuffed a piece of rag into Zhou Yuxuan's mouth.

With the harsh, unpleasant sound gone, Old Wei's expression softened somewhat, but his eyes still revealed a hint of contempt and mockery:

"It hurts and itches, huh? I've seen this kind of thing a million times. I just throw a bucket of ice water on it, and you won't feel a thing. If you can't take it, I'll just lift you up and toss you into a ravine, that's it. What a piece of trash, you've already been exiled, what are you being so dramatic about!"

Old Wei grumbled as he walked back to the escorts' room.

Lin Mo, who just walked in, overheard his words.

Enough!

Lin Mo grinned.

Indeed, those who can become escorts are all ruthless people.

She looked at Zhou Yuxuan with sympathy, seeing how pitiful she looked, and a fleeting glint of schadenfreude flashed in Lin Mo's eyes.

Although Lao Wei's words were harsh, he was right about one thing.

Rinsing with ice water is indeed a good method.

After rinsing off the itching powder, the itching will naturally stop.

Ice water can temporarily relieve the pain from a wound, but afterwards...

Lin Mo smiled slightly, her wound inflamed, causing a persistent fever.

She was curious whether the cold-hearted Shen family would abandon her at this point.

However, she was now more curious about whether Shen Qingyun would take Lao Wei's advice.

Lin Mo looked delighted.

Looking up, she saw Xu Wuyan scrutinizing her and raised an eyebrow:

"What, can't we watch the show?"

"Yes." Xu Wuyan looked away; it seemed she really disliked the Shen family.

"Dinner is ready, just waiting for you to start eating."

"Okay." Lin Mo nodded and went inside.

Once I sat down, I noticed a clay pot with a chipped rim filled with steaming sweet potato soup. Next to it was a stack of wooden bowls and some warm steamed buns.

Although the food was simple, it was exceptionally plentiful on the road to exile.

What moved Lin Mo the most was that even though she hadn't returned, none of them ate first; they waited for her instead.

If this had happened to a member of the Shen family, not even a trace would have been left.

That's how it was in my past life. I painstakingly made a delicious soup, but all I did was go out and fetch some firewood to cook it. When I came back, there was nothing left.

The Xu family is indeed different from other families.

Gathering her thoughts, Lin Mo took one steamed bun and let them share the rest; she would just have one.

If she didn't want to arouse their suspicion, she wouldn't even want to eat the steamed buns.

Don't be fooled by all the food here; each person gets very little, just enough to fill their stomachs.

"You're eating so little?" Xu Wuyan frowned.

"Yeah, my wound hurts, and I don't have much of an appetite," Lin Mo lied.

She couldn't very well say that she had eaten her fill in the space.

"Let me apply the medicine for you first." Xu Wuyan put down his chopsticks and was about to take out the medicine to apply it for her.

"No rush, you should eat your fill first."

……

On the Han family's side, Xu Mengxian stared blankly at the warm and cozy Xu family's side, a hint of bitterness and regret flashing in her eyes.

She's so stupid!

Xu Mengxian glanced at it and then lowered her head.

If she continued watching, her aunt would mock her again.

Meanwhile, on the Shen family's side, Shen Qingyun, watching Zhou Yuxuan's contorted expression, gritted his teeth and looked up at his two sons:

"We're out of options, how about we try the method Old Wei suggested?"

If they keep pressing it like this, it's not a solution.

Shen Qingyun's two sons exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

But Zhou Yuxuan's eyes widened and her body trembled.

Her body definitely can't withstand being rinsed with ice water.

She stammered her protest while shaking her head desperately, but the Shen father and son ignored her completely.

Seeing that her two sons had agreed, Shen Qingyun immediately called four servants to carry her to the well.

He then turned around, fetched a bucket of water, and poured it directly into Zhou Yuxuan's wound.

Then another bucket!

……

To be honest, the ice water relieved the pain and itching a lot, but she was also shivering from the cold.

Shen Qingyun poured five buckets of water for her before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

Remove the rag from her mouth:

"Madam, are you feeling better?"

"Mmm." Zhou Yuxuan nodded, shivering. She felt like she was freezing.

“Cold… so cold!”

Shen Qingyun quickly called over an old woman to help her into the carriage to change her clothes and apply medicine.

By the time I finished all that, it was already late at night.

Exhausted from all the commotion, Shen Qingyun had no energy left to do anything else and simply collapsed and fell asleep.

After a day of walking, everyone gradually fell asleep.

A chilly wind blew, making the sleeping crowd instinctively gravitate towards a warmer place.

In the darkness, snowflakes drifted down.

A chill swept across the land.

The faint firelight stood alone in the darkness, resisting the intensified chill.

Before we knew it, the rooftops and the ground had turned white.

The world was covered in white.

……

The next day.

I don't know who woke up first and was the first to notice it was snowing.

A shout of "It's snowing!" jolted everyone awake from their dreams.

Looking at the white, misty world outside, everyone felt a chill.

"So it's snowing. No wonder I felt colder and colder last night."

"Oh my god, it's so cold, how do we get there?"

……

In contrast to everyone's complaints, the Xu family immediately got busy.

Lin Mo asked Xu Pingan to use that broken pot to boil water.

In this freezing weather, drinking something hot can help warm you up.

The straw mats that they used to cover themselves with last night, rolled up, and packed their luggage.

"I'll go get the steamed buns," Xu Wuyan said.

"Mm." Lin Mo nodded.

Frozen cornbread is unpalatable, but it can be rehydrated and filled up when soaked in boiling water.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Lin Mo gave each of them a small piece of dried meat.

Lower your voice:

"eat fast!"

After saying that, he stuffed the jerky into his mouth and started biting.

In this freezing weather, if you don't eat meat, you'll feel terribly cold.

When everyone saw that it was dried meat, they were startled. They looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, and then quickly stuffed it into their mouths.

The taste of the meat brought a look of satisfaction to their faces.

Just then, Xu Wuyan returned with the steamed buns.

When Lin Mo took the cornbread, she quickly stuffed one into Xu Wuyan's hand.

Xu Wuyan was startled when he saw that it was dried meat.

Where did she get it from?

Seeing that Xu Pinggui and the others had their mouths closed but were actually moving, they knew that they were also involved.

Lower your voice:

"No one is allowed to tell anyone."

Everyone shook their heads; they weren't that stupid.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, took out the cornbread that had been distributed yesterday, three for each of them, and ate their fill with boiled water.

After all the things were loaded onto the carriage, the escorts came to urge us to depart.

At this time, many people still haven't packed their things.

They all shouted to wait a little longer, which prompted the guards to whip them again.
