Chapter 158 Why do you want Mu Li?
Although the chaos in Shanyang County has been quelled, no one knows when the next crisis will come, and whether it will involve the small fishing village where we are now.

To be on the safe side, the family discussed and decided to set off early.

The next morning, Ji Mo was busy, staying indoors to tinker with various medicines, some for Cheng Su, some for Li Yaoguang, some for his own facial recovery, and some for his safety on the way.

Li Yaoguang was naturally not idle either. With so many people, they might have to sleep outdoors on the road ahead. Food and drink would be a problem, so it would be best to prepare more. After all, if they were to carry things like the Five Ghosts, what would they do if they had nothing? They couldn't just conjure something out of thin air, right? So he was busy with food early in the morning, and even collected dried goods and seafood in the small fishing village. After all, after such a long period of consumption, there was some space left.

Cheng Su led the two kids, Desheng and Hei Xuanfeng, and drove the wheelchair to check and repair the carriage, wheels and other means of transportation. After all, the wheels were made of wood at that time and were not durable. In case of problems on the road, it was better to prepare for a rest first.

Everyone was busy, and Yu Meixue had no time to spare, as she had something her niece had asked her to do. The sun was shining brightly, so she sat in the yard with her sewing basket in her arms, holding the bamboo hat and black gauze her children had brought her, and she was cutting and trimming the curtains for Ji Mo.

Xu Miaoniang had nothing to do, so she came forward to help.

"Aunt, what are you busy with?"

Yu Meixue kept moving her hands, and smiled back without thinking: "Oh, make a curtain for Ji, um, Mo Xiaolang."

"Muli?" Xu Miaoniang was puzzled. "Didn't Doctor Ji use Muli before? Why did he think of using it now?" Why did he change suddenly?
"Haha, I don't know either. After all, it was that kid who asked Guang Jie to let me do it. Maybe he cares about his reputation. What young man doesn't like to be coquettish?"

Yu Meixue smiled and continued to work, but the people around her did not fall into deep thought after hearing her joke.

Young people all love to be pretty! She loves it too.

It's just that he didn't seem to be coquettish before, but only after I came... Could it be?
Xu Miaoniang's eyes couldn't help but flicker, and then they were filled with disgust.

What does it matter if he is a good doctor or a good martial artist? He is so ugly! He is hiding from me. Is he ashamed to see people? Is he inferior? After all, only people like General Shen are worth entrusting your life to.

Seeing that she would be fourteen soon, her parents were gone, and she was an orphan who wanted to survive in the chaotic world. If she didn't consider and plan for herself, who would truly pity her?
It took half a day to make a hat that could cover the entire upper body. Yu Meixue was busy cooking, so she gave the hat to her niece who had just returned from work in the village.

Li Yaoguang took the hat, said hello to Xu Miaoniang and went to the house where Ji Mo lived in the side yard.

She knocked on the door and saw Ji Mo was busy inside. When he saw it was her, he threw two palm-sized bottles over to her.

Li Yaoguang took it steadily in his hand and asked in confusion, "What is this?"

Ji Mo was so busy that he didn't even raise his head. "The green one, in your words, is the 2.0 version of the Bloodthirsty Throat that has been fused with Jiang Fei's poison, and the white one is the 3.0 Ecstasy Incense that I promised you."

"Oh, thank you, big brother, you are awesome!" Li Yaoguang was overjoyed as if he had found a treasure, holding two palm-sized bottles. He put them away carefully, and seeing the man busy with his hands, he couldn't help but tiptoe to look over eagerly, "Big brother, what are you fiddling with? Is it a new and good medicine?"

Seeing Li Yaoguang approaching, Ji Mo was anxious. He blocked her with his arm and said anxiously, "Little ancestor, these are all poisonous. You better stay away from them."

"Oh, okay." Knowing that it was for her own good, he didn't get angry even when he was yelled at. He obediently shrank his neck and stepped back, handing over the muli in his hand, "Here, you want the muli, see if you are satisfied." Ji Mo looked up and then nodded, afraid that Li Yaoguang would come closer again, and pointed to the low cabinet not far to the left.

Li Yaoguang understood and put the curtain in place, but he still subconsciously asked, "By the way, big brother, I haven't asked you yet. It's just a face treatment. We have seen your miserable face swelling before, and we don't dislike you. Why do you want to get a curtain now?"

Ji Mo's busy hands froze. Could he say that he disliked himself?
Although his reputation had been ruined when the little girl recognized him, he did not want to destroy it more completely. After all, his face was hideous, with pits and swollen purple all over, and it was better not to scare people if possible. After all, she was a girl he recognized, and he still had some dignity to keep.

So Ji Mo explained solemnly: "Oh, I'm going to force out the poison soon, so I can't stand the wind, so I have to hide it."

"Oh, so that's how it is..." When Li Yaoguang heard that, she shrugged her shoulders and didn't say anything else. She treasured her new medicine and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work, brother. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you." Without waiting for Ji Mo to speak, she started to move at such a fast speed that the people outside were startled.

It was just a coincidence that she just happened to see a figure flash past the corner of the house. Li Yaoguang took two quick steps to catch up, but ended up running into her aunt. Li Yaoguang frowned.

Yu Meixue was puzzled when she saw this, and hurriedly asked her niece, "What's wrong, Guang'er, what are you looking at?"

Li Yaoguang avoided answering and pointed at the door of Ji Mo's house and asked, "Auntie, were you the one who walked past this way just now?"

Yu Meixue nodded without thinking, "Yeah, that's right, I was just about to ask you what you wanted to eat for lunch, but then Yang Ge called me from behind, so I went over. What's the matter? Is there something?"

After getting the answer from his aunt, Li Yaoguang didn't think about it anymore and shook his head. "Oh, that's fine. By the way, aunt, I made an appointment with the village chief to go there again this afternoon. He still has a lot of good stuff. I plan to get some, whether I eat it myself or take it to the south to exchange for silver."

"Okay, go ahead. I'll take Miao Niang with me to make some dry food. You won't be needed. Just go ahead and get busy."

Li Yaoguang did not delay and turned back to his room, pretending to put the medicine away and get the money. In fact, he put the medicine away in the space, then took out a bag of silver coins and Tongbao, and hurried out to the village.

Only after she walked away did Xu Miaoniang, who was hiding behind the door with her fists clenched, breathe a sigh of relief.

Blame her, she was just feeling guilty, why was she hiding?
I didn't do anything, nor did I have any bad intentions. I was just curious and wanted to listen to what they were talking about, whether they mentioned me, and why that ugly man suddenly wanted to hide. As a result, by dodging, I seemed guilty.

Fortunately, Aunt Cheng had just passed by and came out in time. Otherwise, even though I didn't do anything, I was caught eavesdropping on the spot, and my daughter's face would never be lost. Fortunately, fortunately!
But two days later, the family, which had almost gathered, set out again.

With the two horses lost, the burden of pulling the cart naturally fell on the two cowardly mules.

With the addition of Xu Miaoniang and her brother, Ji Mo felt inexplicably uncomfortable. As it was inconvenient to have women in the carriage, he rode the remaining horse alone to lead the way. Li Yaoguang was also impatient to see Xu Miaoniang's humble and flattering attitude. He told her several times that there was no need for this but she didn't change. Seeing this, he felt upset, so he simply sat on the front shaft of the carriage and drove with his uncle, leaving his aunt and cousin in the carriage with malicious intent.

They traveled smoothly for five consecutive days. One day, when they were about to leave Henan Road and enter Huainan Road, they passed through a dense forest when something unexpected happened.
