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

Xu Wuyan advised Lin Mo to stop thinking about it.

After they had eaten, the escorts soon came to urge them to get up and continue their journey.

The death of one child will not stop the team from moving forward.

The Zhou family originally intended to bury the child's body directly.

But Zhao Tong held on tightly and wouldn't let go. No matter how much you hit or scolded her, no one could take the child away from her arms.

In her anger, she even opened her mouth and bit people.

Before she knew it, many members of the Zhou family had been bitten.

With the escorts urging them to leave, the Zhou family became too lazy to pay attention to her anymore, and let her hug them if she wanted.

So, when they set off, Zhao Tong carried the child's body and stumbled along behind.

Many people considered her unlucky and kept their distance from her.

So Zhao Tong walked alone behind.

Xiao Liuzi felt sorry for her and couldn't bring himself to hit her. He just urged her to hurry up and catch up.

Lin Mo sat in the carriage, looking back at Zhao Tong who was lagging behind the group, her brows furrowing even more.

"Stop looking." Xu Wuyan pulled her back.

He looked at her intently with both eyes:

"It's not your fault, don't blame yourself."

This is a completely undeserved disaster for his wife.

It's like being at home when disaster strikes out of nowhere.

"You said it wasn't my fault, so why should I blame myself?" Lin Mo shook her head.

"I was just thinking about how long the journey is, and there's already so much going on."

So, what else awaits us?

Lin Mo had a headache.

I was reborn, and that changed many things.

Like Zhao Tong's child who died, that child must have died in a past life as well.

But they starved to death.

Moreover, he didn't die so quickly; he starved to death after walking for almost two months.

But now they've drowned.

So, some things have changed, but the ending remains the same.

She is now worried that her mother and brother will end up like this child.

"Things will sort themselves out in the end; worrying now is useless," Xu Wuyan sighed.

"Man proposes, God disposes; you're just worrying too much."

Lin Mo paused for a moment, then nodded.

The two then chatted idly for a while.

During the evening rest period.

She had just stepped off the carriage when Lin Shuo mysteriously pulled her aside.

"Sister!" He glanced around nervously, and after making sure no one was looking in his direction, he looked excitedly at Lin Mo:

"Sister, I feel like I've suddenly become stronger, look."

After saying that, he picked up a small twig from the side and used one hand to pull it up.

Click.

He broke the branch easily.

That wasn't enough. He picked up another tree trunk, as thick as a baby's arm, and with a single effort, snapped it in two.

"I see."

Seeing that he was about to pick up stones to test them on her, Lin Mo quickly stopped him.

He coughed lightly.

"Perhaps our ancestors had this ability, so being exiled forced us to bring it out."

"Really?" Lin Shuo scratched his head. Why did this explanation feel so far-fetched?

"Definitely, you can't doubt your sister." Lin Mo said seriously.

"Also, you need to keep this a secret, don't let anyone find out, understand?"

"Okay." Lin Shuo nodded.

He obeyed his sister unconditionally.

"Alright, let's go in." Lin Mo said with satisfaction.

Just as they were about to go in, they saw Zhao Tong rushing out crying, with a man running ahead of her carrying something that looked like a human figure.

"Give me back my child! Give me back my child!"

"Zhou Laosan, give me back my child."

……

Zhao Tong's voice was shrill and ferocious.

But not long after she chased after them, two burly old women rushed out from inside.

After they caught up, they each grabbed Zhao Tong on one side:

"Zhao Tong, stop making a scene. Your son is already dead. Just let him rest in peace."

"Exactly, it's really disgusting to carry a corpse in like that."

……

"Let me go! I want my son! Let me go!" Zhao Tong screamed and struggled angrily.

Just then, a young man came out.

There was a snap.

He slapped Zhao Tong across the face. "Zhao Tong, haven't you made enough trouble?"

My son is dead. He is dead.

"If you keep holding his corpse, will he come back to life?"

Zhao Tong was stunned by the slap.

She quickly regained her senses, her face contorted with rage, and roared at him angrily:

"Zhou Yuan, you bastard."

That's our son! How could you say such a thing? You're a heartless wretch.

“I don’t only have one son,” Zhou Yuan muttered discontentedly.

"And who's to blame for not taking good care of him?"

"Aaaaaah!" Zhao Tong screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Yes, you have many sons, but I only have one son."

Zhou Yuan, you're not human, you're not human.

Zhou Yuan, impatient, grabbed a rag and stuffed it into her mouth, then grabbed a rope and started tying her up while cursing.

……

Lin Mo, with Lin Shuo in tow, walked past the Zhou family members and went inside, her face expressionless.

She turned a blind eye to the Zhou family's farce.

She would never do anything that would bring her trouble.

"Sister!" Lin Shuo chased after her.

Lin Mo immediately understood the reluctance in Lin Shuo's eyes, and she shook her head:

"Don't meddle in other people's business."

This is someone else's family matter. If you interfere, you'll only please neither side, understand?

Moreover, there's a possibility that Zhao Tong will hold a grudge against him again.

Zhao Tong... is a lunatic.

She hadn't forgotten what Zhao Tong had done after her son's death in her past life.

The Zhou family was almost wiped out because of her revenge.

Lin Shuo paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Ok!"

The night passed peacefully.

Apart from Zhao Tong, who was tied up outside and sobbing, everything else was normal.

The next day.

Everyone continued on their way with furrowed brows, and many people frequently rubbed their stomachs.

Zhao Tong, after causing a ruckus all night, has finally quieted down today.

She stopped demanding her son, seemingly having resigned herself to her fate.

The morale of everyone in the team was lower than before.

Unfortunately, there was very little food available last night.

After a night of hunger and no food in the morning, how many people have the strength to continue their journey on an empty stomach?

Lin Mo remained silent.

In my past life, when I reached this point, the messengers who went to find food would bring back some grain.

And it was because of this food that her mother and younger brother died here.

In her past life, she arrived here because she was sick.

Her mother and younger brother only went to steal food because they wanted it for her. In the end, they were made scapegoats by the Shen family and beaten to death.

Lin Mo couldn't help but clench her fists.

Will these things happen again in my lifetime?

Lin Mo was unsure.

Because she had something on her mind, she kept looking around.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see anyone riding up on horseback.

Her nervousness was contagious to Lin Shuo.

"Sister," Lin Shuo looked at Lin Mo nervously:

"Is something terrible about to happen?"

Lin Mo paused for a moment, then shook her head.

Thinking of her past life, her eyes dimmed, and she stared seriously at Lin Shuo:

"Lin Shuo, promise your sister that no matter what happens next, you won't go to join in the fun, okay? And Mom, don't let her go to join in the fun either. Stay as far away from any fun-filled places as possible."

Although Lin Shuo was puzzled, he still nodded seriously.

Lin Mo breathed a sigh of relief; they would have appeared at this time in her previous life.

They didn't show up this time, so things must have changed. They probably won't be able to come back today.

All she needs to do is keep an eye on her brother and her mother for the next couple of days.

Let's just get through these next couple of days first.

When the lunch break came and no escorts returned, Lin Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because food supplies are running low, and it will take another four days to get out of here.

Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided to go out under the pretense of looking for food, and then find an opportunity to take some food out of her space.

Before leaving, Lin Mo repeatedly gave Lin Shuo instructions, and only after receiving his assurances did Lin Mo feel at ease enough to leave with Xu Wuyan and the others to find something to eat.

But life is full of such coincidences.

She had just left when the escort who went to buy food returned.

Two escorts on horseback returned, each carrying two sacks of cornbread.

Upon learning that there was food, those who remained behind let out excited screams.

After the guards dismounted, they had just untied the cornbread and placed it on the ground.

Before they could even speak, the starving people swarmed forward, pushing the people aside and starting to rob them.

Seeing this, Liu Ying also became restless.

"Son, let's go and rob a few too."

Now that there's food, your sister doesn't need to search for food anymore; we're helping to ease her burden.

Lin Shuo was tempted.

But when he saw the crowded people ahead, his face fell. His sister had told him not to join in the fun.

He quickly reached out and grabbed his mother who was trying to lean forward:

"Mother, you can't go."

"Son, what do you mean by this?" Liu Ying frowned, somewhat anxious.

"Let me go! If we don't go now, all the cornbread will be stolen!"

"I can't go!" Lin Shuo insisted.

At the same time, he looked at Granny Qin and the others, "Granny Qin, you can't go either."

Granny Qin and Granny Yun looked at each other, not understanding what Lin Shuo meant.

But it was very obedient and didn't go over.

Liu Ying was displeased, and her expression turned serious:

"Lin Shuo, let go! Those are all food. If we go too late, they'll be gone. Let go of me, I'll go get those."

After saying that, she reached out and slapped Lin Shuo's hand that was grabbing her.

"Mother, you can't go."

"I told you to let go!"
