52 Did You Get Fat From Eating?

One of the officials said, “When our leader arrived at the government office, he was summoned by the mayor of Yan City. He told us to bring our supplies of dry food and water out of the city first.”

“Mm-hmm. Let’s leave the city first.”

When Su Ying came out with the livestock, her children surrounded her in curiosity and fear.

“Mother, this… this is an ox and a goat. The goats are bleating, bleating!” The younger toddler Ling pointed at the goats and mimicked their cries excitedly.

“Mm-hmm. This is a milk goat. Do you see its milk udder? I’ll get Uncle Hea to milk it and you can have some milk later.”

“Goat’s milk? I want to drink goat’s milk! I want to drink goat’s milk!”

Su Ying tied the animals under the tree and said to Hea Shouyi, “Uncle Hea, do you know how to milk goats?”

Hea Shouyi stood up with a smile. “As long as it’s edible, I will know something about it.”

Su Ying patted the goats. “I’ll leave this to you then, Uncle Hea. You can put the luggage on the oxen and goats as well when we are traveling.”

“Alright,” he said.

As Su Ying spoke, she harnessed the other horse to the carriage. It would be less taxing for two horses to pull one carriage. The carriage she bought a while ago was wider and bigger, so it wouldn’t be a problem for everyone to sit in it.

Hea Shouyi saw that the goat’s milk kept dripping from the udder, so he took a bucket and milked the goats. Then, he heated up the goat’s milk in a pot.

After the goat’s milk was heated up, Bai Shuang took a few bowls and filled them with the milk. She gave one bowl each to older twin Ji, younger twin Ling, and Lin Sheng. After that, she brought another two bowls to Tian Mu.

“Brother Tian, feed the child some milk. And give some to Wanniang too. Mistress said that she has just given birth and her body is very weak. She needs to eat something nutritious.”

Tian Mu looked at the two bowls of creamy white goat’s milk, and his eyes instantly became red-rimmed. He felt so touched that he was speechless.

“I am grateful to the Mistress. I am really grateful to her for this.”

“Just let them drink it. The baby is too small. You can’t let him go hungry.”

Tian Mu received the two bowls of milk and nodded his head vehemently. He swore to himself that he would work his ass off for Su Ying in the future.

Su Ying bought some refined noodles in the city and asked Hea Shouyi to cook egg noodles for lunch.

The aroma of the food attracted the attention of the other criminals. Some of them wanted to send their greetings to Su Ying, but they were afraid that she wouldn’t accept them, so they could only watch with widened eyes.

Su Ying held the bowl of noodles in her hands and enjoyed it thoroughly. She was most satisfied with the food after arriving at this place. Even if the food wasn’t a delicacy, it still tasted much better than the processed food she used to eat.

After she was full, she walked to Tian Mu and said, “How’s your wife?”

At this moment, Wanniang was still sleeping, and Zhang Cuiniang was helping to take care of her. Tian Mu was a man, and Su Ying was worried that he wouldn’t be able to take care of his wife.

“Mistress, Wanniang just woke up, but she fell asleep again after eating.”

Su Ying nodded. “Carry her to the carriage in front. Cuiniang, you can follow him to the carriage and help look after Wanniang.”

“Alright.” Zhang Cuiniang nodded.

“Tian Mu, do you know how to drive a horse carriage?”

“Yes… yes. I know.”

“Then you can do the driving.”

“Sure, sure. No problem.”

After issuing her instructions, Su Ying carried the two little ones and Lin Sheng to the other carriage.

When he saw this, Jiang Yang stepped forward to help Xiao Jin up, but Xiao Jin shot him a look that said, “Stay away from me.”

The corner of Jiang Yang’s eyes twitched. He turned around and saw Su Ying walking over. He turned around and left silently.

Ever since the Princess Consort changed, His Highness had also become weird!

Su Ying went forward to help Xiao Jin up matter-of-factly.

Xiao Jin was also very cooperative and put almost all his weight on her, his face almost touching hers.

“Don’t exert any force in your legs. Just lean onto me.”

Xiao Jin mumbled in the affirmative somewhat vaguely.

Su Ying didn’t make use of the wristband of infinite power this time, so she could feel Xiao Jin’s full weight on her body.

“Did you become fat from eating? Why are you heavier than a wild boar?” she asked with a frown.

The veins on Xiao Jin’s forehead bulged momentarily before he spoke in a voice that sounded like a deep growl from his throat, “When have you ever carried a wild boar?”

Su Ying mumbled something. She would never tell him that she had secretly carried a wild boar before on that night at the farmhouse, intending to take it to her interspatial store. However, after some internal struggle, she had given up on that idea.

“Why are you comparing yourself to a wild boar?”

Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.

Su Ying didn’t notice Xiao Jin’s expression, which had already clouded over ominously.

She helped the man onto the carriage and turned around to get the oxen and goats.

When the group was ready to set off, they saw a group of people walking out of the city gate. The person walking at the front of the group was Li Da.

The people in the group were all chained up. They were obviously heinous felons, and there were at least 50 to 60 of them.

Li Da ran back to his original group with a wretched expression. He untied the water bag from his body, and took a few big gulps.

“Leader, who are these people? Why did you bring them out?” One of the officials asked.

Li Da looked even more peeved at that moment. Initially, after going past Yan City and sending Su Ying and her group out through the Yan City’s Western Pass, his job would have ended at that juncture. To his chagrin, the city guards of Yan City suddenly summoned him over and told him that the Imperial Court had given him an additional task at the last minute. He was ordered to send these 60 criminals together with the rest to the northern wilderness.

He had asked the city guard about the backgrounds of these criminals, but the city guard kept his mouth shut tightly. At that time, he had felt that something was not quite right, but since they had the Imperial Court’s documents, he did not have the courage to refuse to accept these people.

Fortunately, their hands and feet were chained, so it should be easier to guard them.

The exiles in the first group became nervous because of the arrival of these people. Everyone could tell that these new people were not to be trifled with, so they wanted to stay far away from them.

“All of you, follow everyone behind the group. Don’t give me any trouble.”

The official cracked his whip and shouted.

Su Ying glanced at them and frowned imperceptibly.

After the group was re-organized, the new group set off again.

Su Ying, Hea Shouyi, and Cheng Ming took turns to drive the oxen and goats, while the others sat in the carriages.

The new group of people followed closely behind the group without a word.

After the sky turned dark, Li Da found a place to settle down, and everyone stopped to rest.

The closer they got to Yan City’s Western Pass, the wider the plains became. They could not even see the edge of the plains.

After Su Ying brought the children down from the carriage, she wanted to look around nearby for a water source and get some firewood at the same time.

She got up and walked to the rear of the group. When she walked around to the group of felons, someone suddenly stuck out his foot and blocked her way.

Su Ying looked down and saw a chilly and bloodthirsty face with a lecherous smirk.

Su Ying glanced at him indifferently and walked over his leg.

She was able to hear the man’s sharp laughter vaguely. Her eyebrows twitched momentarily and she turned to look at the man. That man kept staring at her. When he saw her looking at him again, he licked his lips provocatively.

Su Ying suppressed the urge to tear him apart and turned back without any expression to continue her search for water.

When the man saw that Su Ying didn’t say anything, he laughed even more brazenly.
