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

As evening fell, they finally arrived at the place where they would camp for the night.

But seeing the ruins before them, the crowd wailed in despair.

What's the difference between this and resting in the wild? It's even more dilapidated than where we stayed last night.

Lin Mo's expression was solemn.

In my past life, when I arrived here, at least some walls hadn't collapsed, and I could at least get some shelter from the wind.

I never expected that just a few days later, the whole place would collapse.

However, even if the wall doesn't collapse, it still won't provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Lin Mo glanced at the sky; the rolling dark clouds on the horizon looked exceptionally menacing and terrifying.

If she remembered correctly, the blizzard would arrive in the middle of the night.

No, I can't stay here overnight.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mo walked towards Lao Wei.

“Master Wei, this place is completely uninhabitable,” Lin Mo said directly.

"Of course I know." Old Wei looked annoyed.

"But we can only rest here tonight. The next rest stop is about a six-hour walk away, and I don't know what the next rest stop will be like."

Therefore, there was no choice at all.

In addition, these people have already been walking for a day, and they probably wouldn't be willing to continue walking.

Lin Mo pursed her lips, "If we continue walking for about two more hours, there will be a cave. We can continue walking for another two hours and then rest there."

The cave was large enough to accommodate all of them.

Although the temperature in the cave was also cold, it was still better than being able to withstand a blizzard in the wild.

As long as there is enough firewood, they will not freeze to death.

Her words immediately drew opposition from others.

“You have a carriage to ride in, and you’re not tired, so you can keep walking. But we don’t; we’re exhausted and don’t want to walk anymore.”

"Yes, we don't want to leave. Mr. Wei, let's rest here. Don't listen to her."

"We've accepted the cold and the freezing temperatures; we're not leaving."

……

Old Wei looked at Lin Mo and said, "You see, they don't want to go any further."

Lin Mo frowned:

"The blizzard will come tonight..."

"Haha, here we go again." The person next to him couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't talk such childish things. The weather is bad and it's a bit cold, but a blizzard is impossible."

"Exactly, it didn't snow much today, so where did this blizzard come from? Stop exaggerating, okay?"

……

Lin Mo kept a straight face, ignoring the gossip, and looked seriously at Lao Wei:

"Master Wei, you don't believe me?"

Old Wei frowned. "But it hasn't snowed yet."

"If we go now, it will be too late." Lin Mo said with some disappointment.

She glanced at the people around her, then looked at Lao Wei again:

“Master Wei, if you don’t believe me, I won’t force you.”

But I didn't want to lose my life here, so I took my family to the cave ahead to escape the blizzard.

Trust me, those who are willing to come with me, I will lead them forward.

Master Wei can send someone to accompany us.

If there's no blizzard, we'll wait for you there tomorrow.

Old Wei frowned.

Li Ping stepped forward and said, "Master Wei, I would also like to go to the cave with Madam Xu for one night. At least it's sheltered from the wind and warmer there."

This was the result of her careful consideration.

Although she was very tired, she was able to persevere.

In such cold weather, not to mention the blizzard, just the thought of her child getting sick from being out in the cold wind all night will surely make her child sick tomorrow.

The child is weak and cannot endure this hardship.

As soon as Li Ping spoke, several other families immediately chimed in, expressing their willingness to continue following Lin Mo.

Old Wei glanced at Lin Mo. Those who were willing to go with Lin Mo were all people who were close to her.

Old Wei turned to look at the others:

"Do you want to walk for another two hours to reach the cave ahead?"

As soon as he finished speaking, most people shook their heads, indicating their unwillingness.

Late at night, the roads are not only difficult to walk on, but also prone to accidents.

Most importantly, they were too exhausted to walk.

Old Wei had found the answer.

He called over Xiao Liuzi and Qian Zhengchang, instructing them to lead Lin Mo and the others onward to the cave Lin Mo had mentioned for camping, while he would lead those who did not wish to continue their journey to camp there.

Lin Mo nodded to Lao Wei to express her gratitude.

She then took out several torches that she had prepared beforehand from the carriage and handed them to Xu Ping'an and the others.

Before leaving, she walked towards Lao Wei.

Then he was handed a wine flask filled with wine.

Lin Mo said with a serious expression, "Master Wei, whether you believe it or not, there really will be a blizzard tonight."

Keep this wine warm. If a real blizzard comes, just keep going. If it gets too cold on the road, have a few sips of wine to warm yourself up. Take care.

After saying that, he stuffed the wine bag into his hand and turned to leave.

They didn't have much time left. Once they reached the cave, they would need to gather firewood, so they had to continue their journey.

Looking at the wine flask in his hand, Old Wei wondered, "Will there really be a blizzard?"

Whether it's real or not, I got a free bottle of wine, so it's not a loss.

Old Wei picked it up, twisted off the cork, and took a sip.

Hmm, good wine.

On the Shen family's side.

Shen Zhixuan looked at Shen Qingyun, "Father, should we follow?"

Shen Qingyun glanced at the moving ranks ahead and then looked at Shen Zhixuan:

"Zhixuan, what do you think?"

"Yes." Shen Zhixuan said with a serious expression.

"Following her won't hurt; what if there really is a blizzard?"

He had observed over this period of time that those who were of one mind with her were all doing very well.

So, following her won't hurt you.

Shen Qingyun nodded, "Okay, let's go then."

Shen Pingqi, who was standing to the side, became anxious.

"Brother, you actually believed her?"

Even Lao Wei doesn't believe it, yet he still chose to camp here. Anyway, I don't want to walk anymore; I'm exhausted, cold, and hungry.

Shen Qingyun glanced at him and shook her head:

"Those who don't want to leave, stay here; those who want to continue, follow me."

After saying that, he got into the carriage and told the driver to drive it away.

When Shen Pingqi saw that he was really leaving, he could only follow angrily, but kept muttering his greetings to Lin Mo.

Upon seeing the Shen family follow, several other families followed suit.

In an instant, nearly a third of the people left.

Seeing that there were many people walking, Lao Wei was afraid that Xiao Liuzi and Qian Zhengchang alone could not control them, so he had to arrange for more escorts to follow, just in case someone took the opportunity to cause trouble on the way.

After making the arrangements, Lao Wei told the rest of the group to find a place to camp and rest.

He tied the horse to the side and found a sheltered spot to rest and drink.

Looking at the dark night sky, will there really be a blizzard tonight?

Lin Mo's side.

Holding a torch, he led the group forward.

The torches swayed and danced in the night wind.

The night wind, which gradually picked up, made everyone shiver.

Many people then regretted it.

If I had known, I wouldn't have gone anywhere; I would have just stayed put and rested.

Those who tripped in the dark, in particular, were quick to complain:

"Why should I come along? The road at night is so difficult to walk on, I fell and it hurt so much."

"Exactly, we shouldn't have believed her."

"How much longer until we get there? I'm so tired."

……

Lin Mo, who was leading the way, completely ignored these complaints and focused on leading the way.

Her eyes were fixed on the right, afraid of missing the cave.

Xu Xianyu couldn't help but speak up when she saw the people complaining behind her.

She stepped down from the carriage and looked at the people with a cold smile:

"What are you complaining about?"

Did my sister-in-law beg you to come along?

You chose to come along, so what's there to complain about?

Instead of complaining, you should focus on walking faster.

If you really don't want to leave, then just camp here; no one will stop you.

Xu Xianyu's words made many people turn their heads away guiltily.

But some people are dissatisfied.

Shen Pingqi was one of them.

"Didn't they say it would take two hours? We've been walking for more than two hours already." Shen Pingqi gasped for breath.

Damn it, his legs don't even feel like his own anymore.

He looked up, his eyes peeking out in suspicion:

Are there really caves in this area?

Could it be that she made it up on purpose to trick us into walking alone at night?

Besides, even if there really were caves nearby, how would a woman like her know?

Shen Pingqi's words drew nods of agreement from many people.

That's right, that makes sense.

Although Xu Xianyu didn't know how Lin Mo knew, she unconditionally trusted Lin Mo.

He immediately gave Shen Pingqi a disdainful look:

"Ha, I knew you Shen family members had the most problems."

If you Shen family members don't believe there's a cave, you can stay here and set up camp.

Anyway, setting up camp here is no different from setting up camp in the previous place.

"Hmph, you think I wouldn't dare?" Shen Pingqi said disdainfully.

"Little girl, don't provoke me."

I'm telling you, I didn't set up camp here; I wanted to expose her deceitful nature.

"Hehe." Xu Xianyu's laughter grew even more disdainful.

"When they wanted to trick my sister-in-law, they called her 'Grand Ancestor' so affectionately."

Now that they realize they can't trick my sister-in-law anymore, they're showing their true colors. Aren't they acting like patriarchs anymore?

Shen Pingqi's face changed color after being ridiculed by Xu Xianyu.

Damn it, how dare a little girl talk back to me!

He was about to get angry, but Shen Qingyun stopped him.

Shen Pingqi was indignant.

"Brother, we've clearly been scammed."

Where here does it look like there's a cave?

Furthermore, even if there is a cave, can it accommodate so many of us?

Brother, haven't you noticed that it's windier and colder now?

I don't want to walk anymore. I want to find a sheltered place, light a fire, and rest.

After saying that, Shen Pingqi shivered.

It’s so cold!

After walking for so long, Shen Qingyun began to wonder if they had been tricked.

But seeing the Xu family members, he was a little unsure.

After all, Lin Mo was with her relatives and the Xu family, so she shouldn't be joking about something like this.

"Big brother," Shen Pingqi said angrily.

"No, I have to go and ask her if she's lying to us on purpose."

After saying that, he stormed off angrily toward Lin Mo.

It was so fast that Shen Qingyun didn't have time to stop it.

Just as Shen Pingqi rushed to Lin Mo's side, Lin Mo stopped before he could speak:

"arrive!"

Shen Pingqi stared wide-eyed as he looked around.

You came to find her yourself, and that's how you got there?

Such a coincidence?
