Do Not Offend the Reborn Wicked Wife

Chapter 669: Daliang, Here I Come!

"Gulu gulu, gulu gulu——"

A simple little carriage moved slowly along the shady mountain road, driven by a handsome young man.

The young man wore clean and neat rough cloth garments, very simple.

His carriage-driving skills were skilled, clearly experienced in this craft.

Suddenly, as the carriage rounded a corner, it jolted slightly, and a coquettish voice inside called out, "You’er, where are we?"

This voice sounded so endearing, and You’er responded with an "Ah".

Inside the carriage, Long Yue shook her head gently after asking, nearly forgetting that You’er couldn’t speak, and decided she should look for herself.

Long Yue lifted the curtain and glanced outside.

An endless path through the mountain woods—how long until they reached within the borders of Daliang? Or perhaps they had already arrived?

She gently rubbed her slightly groggy head, realizing she had overslept and hadn’t noticed the journey, alas!

At this moment, Long Yue no longer looked the same; she was wearing a human skin mask.

Of course, such a mask couldn’t be worn for long, or it would stifle and, over time, peel and show flaws.

Therefore, Long Yue usually changed it every now and then.

As for You’er, his identity was clean, so there was nothing to worry about.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

Suddenly, You’er became excited, continuously shouting, prompting Long Yue to quickly come out of the carriage, seeing him jumping and pointing in one direction.

Following the direction of his pointing, Long Yue saw a row of small wooden houses among the trees, with smoke rising.

There was indeed a household.

A household in the wild usually made people uneasy, but it was daytime, and Long Yue was skilled and courageous, unafraid of any ghosts.

"You’er, we’ve been walking in this forest for so long, not knowing where we are; why don’t we go and ask?"

"Ah!"

You’er always responded to whatever Long Yue said or asked.

Long Yue smiled, instructing You’er to tether the carriage here, then went with him to knock on the door.

This row of wooden houses wasn’t many, just three: the main house, the parlour, the bedroom, and a firewood room that didn’t count as a house.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Long Yue knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside, "Who’s there?"

"Excuse me, do you have any food here?"

This question was very blunt but was the best for communication.

There was silence inside for a moment, then said, "No."

Long Yue sensed the other’s hesitation and quickly said, "Sister, my brother and I fled here, not knowing anyone. We’re almost out of rations, and yours is the only house we’ve found. Could you help us? Even a bun would do! If not, I can help you with work..."

"Creak——"

The door opened, and a young woman in blue cloth clothing walked out.

This woman appeared to be about seventeen or eighteen, with delicate features, and even though she wore clothes full of patches, it couldn’t conceal her beauty.

Moreover, her beauty was on par with Long Yue!

Seeing this girl’s beauty, Long Yue herself was momentarily stunned, then quickly bowed, "Sister!"

"Ah!"

You’er, this echo spirit, also responded without courtesy.

The young woman glanced at Long Yue and the skinny You’er behind her, frowning slightly, "I just started cooking, there’s not much food at home!"

"No problem, no problem, my brother and I have dry rations, just want some hot water to go with it!"

Seeing the other relax, Long Yue quickly seized the opportunity and took out a bag of dry biscuits from her small bundle.

"Sister, these biscuits are too dry, need to be eaten with water, but they taste good, would you like to try some?"

The woman indeed looked like she had been hungry for some days. Upon seeing the biscuits in Long Yue’s hand, her eyes brightened for a moment but then shook her head, "No need, you two are traveling, you should keep them for yourselves. I have some water here, and I caught a wild chicken a while back; today, I plan to make soup with it."

After speaking, she headed to the kitchen.

Then came the sound of a ruckus, and soon the aroma of chicken soup wafted through the air.

The past few days, they had been hurrying along the road and hadn’t eaten well, let alone had chicken soup. You’er was delighted and was about to go and take some when Long Yue stopped him.

"This is a household, can’t you see her home isn’t that well off? That chicken was probably kept for herself, but seeing us, she cooked it early!"

This point showed she was a kind-hearted girl.

But how could such a girl live here alone?

Long Yue pondered secretly while the young woman was already bringing out the chicken soup.

"Come and eat! It’ll taste better with the chicken soup."

She also brought out a plate of white flour buns.

Seeing the food on the table, Long Yue said awkwardly, "Sorry to make you spend."

The young woman gently shook her head, "You said you fled here, must be a tough road; I just lend a hand, nothing much."

"Alright then, I won’t be polite. Here are the biscuits, try them!"

Long Yue first served a bowl of chicken soup to the young woman, then served herself and You’er each a bowl, and shared the biscuits she brought.

The young woman hesitated, then reached out to take it, "Thank you."

"No need to be polite; we all help each other!"

Long Yue smiled lightly and took a bite of the biscuit with the chicken soup.

These were biscuits brought from Shengjing City, naturally better tasting than those from other places, and with the rich soup flavor, the delicious taste came through instantly. Long Yue took a deep breath; it had been so long since she had such a taste.

Indeed, the road they traveled was tiring.

"Ah, ah..."

You’er was also pleased, eating biscuits and drinking soup, almost jumping with joy.

In the blink of an eye, a bowl of chicken soup was consumed entirely, with both Long Yue and the young woman eating two biscuits, and You’er three; only about five or six biscuits were left in the wrap.

The young woman glanced at the remaining food in the bundle, smiling awkwardly, "Ate too much, didn’t I?"

Long Yue, "No problem, once we’re done, we can buy more!"

The young woman grew more embarrassed, "I don’t have much silver coin here, can’t afford good ones."

Long Yue paused, realizing her conditions were very poor; the wooden house was shabby, leaking when it rained.

"Do you know where this place is?"

Long Yue and You’er had bypassed the border area, taking mountain paths, so they truly didn’t know where they were; perhaps they even took a wrong turn, a chance to ask.

The young woman didn’t find it odd, after all, they fled, and said, "This is Liucheng, a bit distant from the Capital City. This place is called Liu Shanpo, with some households, but everyone is far apart, rarely interacting."

This was normal; in the woods, people were sparse and naturally wouldn’t meet often.

However, what surprised Long Yue was this place was somewhat distant from the Capital City? That implied it was quite close, right?

Then, which Capital City was this?

"The Capital City you mentioned, is it the Capital City of Liang Country?"

The young woman looked at her, confused, "If it’s not the Capital City of Liang Country, where else would it be?"

In an instant, Long Yue could hardly contain her inner excitement!

Daliang, I’m here!
