This landslide was not short. Fortunately, Meng Yunzheng was very strong. Otherwise, in this princess hug position, an ordinary person would not be able to walk in two or three steps, but he could walk on it as if it were flat ground. It did not take long for him to climb up.
When they arrived at the forest, Shu Yu turned around to look at the surroundings. This area had been hit by the mule carriage and was very messy.
He didn’t know where the mule and the mule carriage had gone. Looking at the traces, it seemed to have gone deeper and deeper.
Now, Shu Yu was not in the mood to care about it anymore. It could only let it pray for its good and let it roam freely. She hoped that it could survive well.
Shu Yu thought about it, but Meng Yunzheng didn’t respond.
The two of them followed the trail and walked out of the forest. As they walked, Shu Yu realized that the forest was a little deep. She didn’t know if Meng Yunzheng had insect repellent powder on him, but there were no snakes, insects, rats, or ants that came to provoke them along the way.
By the time the two of them left the forest, it was already an hour later.
Shu Yu quickly asked him to put her down. Meng Yunzheng frowned and put her down. He let her hold on to the tree trunk at the side, Then, he pressed his finger to his lower lip and a melodious whistle sounded.
Not long after, Meng Yunzhengs horse ran over.
“Come, get on the horse.” Meng Yunzheng bent down again and picked Shu Yu up.
After Shu Yu went up, he turned over and sat behind her.
“Where are we going? Return to the exile team?” Shu Yu asked.
“Not for the time being.” Meng Yunzheng pulled the reins and made her sit steadily before saying, “We’re already some distance away from the team. We don’t know where they went, so we don’t have the time to look for them. The injuries on your body need to be treated. Let’s find a place to rest first.”
As he spoke, Meng Yunzheng looked around and pointed to the front. “There’s a village over there, Let’s go to the village and stay for the night. We’ll talk about it another day.”
Shu Yu had no objections to staying the night, but…
She looked down at her prison uniform. “If I wear this, won’t the villagers be scared to death when I enter the village?”
They thought that she was a fugitive from somewhere. It was fine if she refused to let them stay, but they might even beat her to death.
Meng Yunzheng thought for a moment, then simply took off his robe and wrapped her up.
He was tall and his robe was loose. When he wore it on Shu Yu, not only did it wrap her tightly, but it was also so long that it could drag the floor. It was true that he could not see the prison uniform underneath.
Shu Yu lowered her head and took a glance. “Alright, when we get to the villagers’ houses, we’ll ask them to buy a set of clothes.”
After a pause, she asked uncertainly, “Do you have any silver on you?”
Meng Yunzheng chuckled. “I did.” Although most of the things were still in the carriage, he still brought the money to buy clothes.
Shu Yu was relieved. Meng Yunzheng saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he shook the reins and the horse slowly walked towards the village entrance.
The village in front of him was not very big, and there were not many houses. They were scattered around the village.
However, when the horses entered the village, many people still went out and looked at them curiously.
Shu Yu did not dare to move, afraid that she would accidentally expose her clothes.
Meng Yunzheng half-hugged her and asked the villagers at the village entrance in a relaxed manner, “May I know how to get to the village chief’s house?”
Someone pointed them in the direction. Meng Yunzheng nodded and thanked them before walking towards the village chief’s house.
The village chief had already heard the commotion and was standing at the door..
