Dressed as a villain's wife

492 Northbound
The whole body is a dark color that you can't see your fingers. It doesn't look like black, but more like nothingness.

Shen Wenchen just curled up into a ball like that, letting the darkness engulf him.

It was rare for Yancheng to stop the rain for two days, but it was still raining heavily in Jingdu.

All civil and military officials were trapped in the palace, and they only waited for the four forces to come out on top before dealing with them.

Twelve lost weight again, and the palace gate was closed tightly. They had been in this hall for nearly half a month.

The daily meals are only two cornbreads and half a bowl of cold water sent by the palace people, let alone bathing and changing clothes. Now even going to the toilet can only be done in line on the bucket behind the screen.

Sleeping on the ground and sleeping in clothes is their daily life.

Among the civil and military officials, there are older ones, but now all of them are haggard and haggard, and their court clothes are even stained with dirt, so they don't have the same scenery as when they entered the palace.

Hearing the sound of pouring rain outside through the window, Twelve secretly hoped that Shen Miaomiao and the others would have a safe journey.

Perhaps it was the connection between husband and wife, Shen Miaomiao in the carriage only felt her heart beat twice.

"Miaomiao, what's wrong?"

Aunt Osmanthus saw that her daughter's expression was not right, she was so worried that she reached out to touch her forehead.

"I'm a little flustered."

Shen Miaomiao clutched her chest and spoke the truth.

In just a few months, I earned a full 3000 taels in Kyoto.

It's a pity that a few days later, the food and grass she could buy was only two thousand catties, and the rest she only bought a lot of medicinal materials and some seeds.

She didn't know when she would be able to come back from this trip, but when she thought of what Twelve said to her, Shen Miaomiao could only hold back tears and never look at the mountains behind her.

Behind the layers of mountains is the prosperous Kyoto, and there is her sweetheart inside.

She can't take everyone on an adventure, all she can do now is listen to Twelve's words, and leave that place far away, so as not to really become his target.

It was freezing cold, and it was raining continuously in this place, so their convoy was a bit slow after all.

Shen Laosan's spirit is better now, maybe he has gone to other places and forgotten those bad things, and now he has become a hale and hearty little old man.

It's just that compared with Lin Shougui, the tendons on his body are much smaller.

Seeing him through the window, Shen Miaomiao also worried, "Father, be careful not to catch a cold."

"Don't worry, Dad is in good health."

Shen Laosan was talking cheerfully, but his subordinates closed the window obediently.

He is not a child after all, and he does not want to make trouble for his daughter.

"Ma'am, the road ahead is dead."

The one who spoke was the head of the bodyguard of Twelve Recruits, the convoy stopped, and he rode to Shen Miaomiao and the others' carriage.

"what happened?"

Shen Miaomiao was a little puzzled, this road was an official road and it shouldn't be blocked.

"Madam, there are a lot of bones piled up on the road ahead, and it's frozen after it rained. Our carriage can't pass, so I'm afraid we have to make a detour."

The head of the bodyguard's expression was a bit complicated, and he only sighed in his heart when he thought of the scene he had just seen.

Regardless of whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is the common people who suffer in the final analysis.

I don't know if this journey will be safe or not.

The youngest of those bones seemed to be only three or five years old, but now there is only an empty frame left. The flesh and skin on the bones were gnawed clean by something, leaving only the thin layer on the head. The dry skin covered the withered features.

Shen Miaomiao felt a little unbelievable, so she just opened the car curtain and went out.

The maid carefully held the umbrella for her, and one master and one servant walked towards the front of the convoy, and were also taken aback by the scene in front of them.

The flat and spacious official road is now full of bones. I don't know if they were killed by wild beasts. Few of the bones are complete, and most of them look like missing arms and legs.

The bones were covered with a thick layer of ice, which made them look even more creepy.

However, looking at it this way, there is no end to the accumulation of corpses.

"lady……"

The maid had never seen such a scene before, her little face was as pale as a sheet of fright, but she didn't dare to lose manners in front of her master, no matter how frightened she was, she could only call her in a trembling voice.

"Let's take a detour."

Shen Miaomiao didn't want to take another look, so she took the maid back to the carriage.

Seeing that the girl's face became even uglier after going out for a while, and the little maid who followed her also looked frightened, Aunt Osmanthus was full of suspicion
What's going on outside here?
"Miaomiao, what's the matter?"

Aunt Osmanthus patted the back of her hand with concern, and asked softly.

Her body is actually worse than that of Shen Laosan.

The heavy incident has dealt a great blow to her as a mother. Even if she didn't show it when she was in the capital, since she set foot on the road back to Yancheng, her whole body is like a silkworm chrysalis that has been stripped of its silk, extremely fragile .

"Aniang, there's nothing wrong, but the road outside is blocked. We have to take a detour.

The escort said that if he took a detour, it would take five days before he could return. "

"It's fine. It's fine..."

Whispering these words in her mouth, Aunt Osmanthus stopped rambling, and just sat back in her seat, staring at the window in a daze.

Shen Miaomiao's heart was not at ease, she had seen corpses and dead people, and even more terrifying sights.

But I have never seen such a scene.

Those bones were not all human bones, but part of the hooves of horses and mules were also mixed in.

Large and small pieces of baggage were scattered on the ground, as if they were suddenly attacked.

What the hell happened here?
The convoy retreated a little, then turned around again, and detoured towards the east.

The window of the car was blown open a gap, and cold rainwater floated into the carriage along the gap, and finally hit Shen Laosan's leg.

The convoy wobbled towards the east, leaving only corpses all over the place.

Shen Yuntian bid farewell to his brother and sister-in-law, and took the food and medicine he had bought and set foot on the road back to Yancheng again.

His parents are here, so he doesn't travel far. Now that his parents are gone, and his brother and sister-in-law have their own livelihoods, it's time for him to go back.

Thinking that Hexiu didn't know what was going on in Yancheng, he felt unspeakably worried.

Knowing that Shen Yuntian was going to leave, Xu Tianci was very reluctant to give up, but something happened in his own family, and after working with his father for a while, the pampered young master had grown up a bit.

Before leaving, the young master sent a boat to take him off. Although Shen Yuntian didn't want to bother him, but in order to go back earlier, he could only accept it with a nod.

Knowing what he was thinking, Xu Tianci was not too embarrassed, and only sent a few thugs to support a small cargo boat.

The weather gets colder as you go north, looking at the thick snow on the edge of the river, Shen Yuntian is naturally very worried.

I'm afraid that if we go further north, the waterway will be impassable.
