I want to make progress

Chapter 8: Vengeance

However, the person behind the scenes has not revealed any traces even at this point in the case, and his purpose may not be that simple...

Having said that, even if Gu Changheng was stupid, he understood what his cousin meant. It seemed that the people involved in this case were not simple, and this was the end of it.

It's just that he came to Xuancheng this time to gain credit, but now he has to stop at the right time, which makes him feel a little unwilling.

"Is that the end of it?"

Looking solemnly in the direction of the capital, Gu Changting pulled the reins in his hand and urged the horse, "Let's go."

The group was not in a hurry and was traveling at a moderate pace. In order to consider Shu Yunfu, they even slowed down their pace. But even so, Shu Yunfu was still not used to staying in the carriage all day.

"Miss, the carriage has stopped. It seems that we don't need to travel today. There is no village in front of us and no shop behind us. We have to sleep in the wilderness."

The carriage stopped and started all day long, and even at noon when the sun was hottest, it only stopped to rest for a while and eat some fresh dry food. It took a whole day to stop, and the sounds of the swifts were full of joy.

"Hurry! Help me out, no matter if we have to camp in the wilderness or what, I want to get off the carriage first, my body is about to fall apart."

Enduring the pain in her back, Shu Yunfu impatiently got out of the carriage, and it took her a long time to straighten her back.

The high-speed train has such a steady speed and soft seats, but sitting for a whole day would make your back and waist ache and your buttocks numb. Not to mention this horse-drawn carriage, which almost cost her her life. Her pampered body could not even stand up straight.

"Oh no, I need to lie down for a while. Find me a stable place and spread a thick blanket so I can lie down."

Shu Yunfu was totally unable to adapt to the unexpected hardships. She could endure it tactfully when she was in a hurry, but she was unwilling to put herself in a difficult position when she stopped. Besides, how could anyone feel sorry for her if she didn't cry out in pain!

Looking at the man who was looking at her with a frown, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly at an angle that no one else could see.

"How hypocritical!"

But when Yuyan was busy spreading the quilt and drawing the curtains, Gu Changheng suddenly stood up and walked over with a stern and angry face.

Before he could react, Gu Changting grabbed him and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Brother, don't stop me. I'm going to teach that woman a lesson. We are on the road, not on a picnic. What is she doing?"

All the depression in his heart seemed to have found an outlet. Gu Changheng was full of malice, and Gu Changting frowned as he looked at him.

"That's enough! Women are weak, she didn't do anything wrong, and she didn't cause any trouble to anyone. Even if you are angry, you shouldn't embarrass a weak woman. Since she is your concubine, you should treat her well!"

"I don't!"

After his thoughts were exposed, Gu Changheng's face became even uglier.

"Do you know whether you know it or not?" This attitude was too bad. Gu Changting looked at this cousin with disapproval. The situation seemed to be worse than what she described. "A man should have the responsibility of a man."

Patting him on the shoulder, Gu Changting said nothing more. He just glanced at the place blocked by the curtain and turned away.

After an absence of sixteen years, she once again experienced the fun of camping. Although she was exhausted from traveling all day, after a good rest, she immediately became full of energy and vitality, and also immediately eliminated many of her dissatisfactions.

In my previous life, I had to bring a lot of things when I went camping. Now that I have changed to this world, I can’t be too demanding, but I can’t be too bad either. I really want to sleep on the ground in the open air for a night. As for sleeping in a carriage, carriages are not yet of that standard.

Fortunately, we have three days to prepare. We can't rely on tents with various functions such as moisture-proof, waterproof and sun-proof, but a simple tent with a circle of oil paper sewn on it to block wind and rain is still okay.

As for food, I was a little helpless. The weather in summer was too hot, so I could only put some fresh vegetables and fruits. Meat could not be kept for half a day, and even if I smeared it with a lot of salt and left it for a day, it would still have a smell. I could only make some salty chili sauce and meat sauce with plenty of oil.

But these require walking a long way, and when you don’t have time to cook, you have to eat them slowly.

"Ugh!"

"Don't worry, young lady. I will catch two fish and cook fish soup for you. I will also add a handful of tender wild vegetables. It will be delicious."

Looking at the abundant supplies in the farmers' market, Shu Yunfu sighed. This was the disadvantage of having a personal maid by your side. There were so many supplies, but you could only look at them and didn't dare to take anything out.

But Yuyan was really capable. She knew what she was sighing about at a glance, and immediately rolled up her sleeves and went to the creek to catch fish. Of course, she had great confidence in Yuyan's abilities, after all, she was the one who trained her.

"I'll help you!"

Shu Yunfu, completely unaware that she had almost become a punching bag, enthusiastically followed Yuyan to the creek to catch fish. The survival crisis was temporarily resolved, and she wanted to enjoy the fun of life. This was the purpose of her racking her brains to live a better life!
Considering her status, Shu Yunfu was not so arrogant as to roll up her sleeves and go into the water to catch fish. She said she was helping, but in fact she just wanted to play in the water to enjoy the coolness. If she was lucky, she might even be able to find some wild vegetables and catch some small fish and shrimps.

The water flow in this stream is not big but not small either. It is impossible to catch any big fish, but there are quite a few small fish and shrimps. I simply blocked the flow with stones and soon caught a lot of fish and shrimps.

Shu Yunfu also took the opportunity to grab a handful of quail eggs from the farmer's market, using the excuse that she picked them up by the creek. If her character didn't allow it, she would really want to catch a duck directly.

A group of rough men are taken care of by attentive servants, but when it comes to life, it still depends on women.

On one side there was fish soup and cold wild vegetables, and on the other side there was dry roasted food and boiled water. The contrast was so tragic that both Qixian and Qingshi were subjected to the deathly gaze of their masters.

But no matter how hard they stared, they couldn't produce anything good. They could catch fish, but I didn't know if they could be eaten. They could also get wild vegetables, but I wasn't sure if they could be eaten. It was better to stick to dry food and boiled water to stay safe.

The guards, on the other hand, were quite skilled and were good at grilling meat, so they actually managed to catch two pheasants. But with so many people to share, each person only had one bite. What's more, without any seasoning, the pheasant they grilled didn't taste that good.

The aroma of fish soup drifted in the wilderness. The grown men held the hard dry food in their hands and ate it bite by bite, their eyes almost unable to control themselves.

Seeing this, Shu Yunfu just smiled, picked up a bowl of milky white fish soup, and walked over to meet Gu Changting's uncomfortable eyes.
