Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 119. Shopping
Gu Kaiyuan noticed that many people around him were listening intently. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Thank you, Lord Ma. I don't have much hope anymore. I just want to get to Lingnan safely and watch our child be born safely."

I don't dare to dream about other things I shouldn't, and that's good enough for me.

Guo Baozhu: "It's good that you can think positively. Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come and get something to eat with us?"

He was about to change shifts and go to eat when he casually suggested it, though he actually felt sorry for Gu Kaiyuan.

I've seen many biased parents and know that it's very difficult for such children to survive in the family.

"No need, we can't eat anything right now. We're just thinking about whether we can buy more things. We don't know when we'll be at the post station next time."

Guo Baozhu scratched his head, "I really don't know that. This is my first time coming out with everyone. But the journey ahead will become more and more remote, and there will be fewer and fewer inns. Let's buy as much as we can and stock up."

Thinking back to how they almost ran out of food, Guo Baozhu wondered if he should buy some things for himself.

I've earned quite a bit of money along the way, so buying some things will make my life a little more comfortable.

Thinking about it, he couldn't wait any longer. He said hello and headed towards the canteen.

The two arrived at the counter of the station, where many people were already queuing to buy things.

After discussing it, the two bought 50 jin of flour, 50 jin of millet, and 10 jin of dark flour.

When they arrived at the condiment section, they bought two pounds of coarse salt. It wasn't that they didn't want to buy more, but there were limits on the amount; each person could not buy more than one pound.

I bought some dried vegetables and some lard that I had rendered in advance.

"This post station is really thoughtful, providing all of these things," Bai Suihe thought, seeing the white lard in the earthenware jar. She felt that the ancients were really considerate, but the price was a bit astonishing.

Even so, quite a few people bought it. Everyone needs physical strength along the way, and you can't do without some oil or fat.

"Let's buy some more cured meat," Gu Kaiyuan said, squeezing in as he saw many people picking through the meat. "If you don't like fatty meat, let's pick some lean meat."

Bai Suihe likes to eat cured meat, but doesn't like pickled meat. However, she had no choice here and could only follow the crowd and randomly pick two pieces. "It's better to eat more fresh meat."

And since she's pregnant now, she should try to eat as few pickled vegetables as possible.

"Okay, I'll try to hunt more then." Gu Kaiyuan then turned his attention to a stall on the side, which was selling medicinal herbs.

"Are you two looking to buy medicine?" Huang Niangzi asked happily as she saw them standing in front of her stall. "I have all kinds of medicine here: fever reducers, cold medicine, mosquito repellent, wound medicine, and diarrhea medicine, you name it."

When she saw Bai Suihe's protruding belly, a pang of sympathy flashed through her heart, and she quickly introduced, "Young lady, I also have some excellent medicine to prevent miscarriage. It's not that I have a foul mouth and am cursing you, but we have these medicines on hand just in case, consider it as peace of mind."

Gu Kaiyuan had previously bought a lot of pregnancy-preserving medicine and stored it in his space, but the baby was too good to pass up and had been growing quietly these days, so of course he didn't want Bai Suihe to take medicine indiscriminately.

However, it wouldn't be right to travel without some medicine, so I asked for some mosquito repellent, as well as medicine for treating colds and fever.

Seeing that they hadn't bought any medicine to prevent miscarriage, Madam Huang wasn't disappointed and urged Doctor Huang to prepare the medicine as soon as possible.

After seeing the person off from the stall, he shook his head regretfully, "It's so pitiful that a big pregnant woman has been exiled."

"Madam, I think we should pity ourselves a little. Look how generous they are. Even if they're down on their luck, their lives are still better than ours as ordinary people."

"I've been here for most of the day, can I go back and rest?" "Didn't you see how many people are still buying things? We haven't made a single sale in a month. If we don't earn more money, our family will starve."

Doctor Huang sighed and dared not speak again. Few people sought medical help along the way, except for these exiles.

Gu Kaiyuan was carrying a lot of things, which were quickly taken away by Zhuang Datou and his group who came looking for him.

So when the Gu family came down, they saw the two of them empty-handed and pretended not to see them.

As soon as they entered the room, their father opened the small box, which was full of silver notes. This time, their father was very generous, giving each of them one hundred taels of silver. They could buy anything with that money, and they would never have to put up with the attitude of those two girls from the Bai family again.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that many people were waiting to see him make a fool of himself. He had done what he needed to do, so he helped Bai Suihe back to her room.

After letting Dongmei and the others go and rest, the two returned to their own space.

Because they had just heard the baby, who hadn't woken up for several days, greeting them.

"Mommy, I haven't heard your voice for so many days, have you missed me?"

"I've been thinking about it," Bai Suihe gently stroked her belly. "I feel like my belly has grown a bit more these past few days, and the baby has grown too."

"Of course, I can come out and meet my mother in a few months."

……

Gu Kaiyuan felt a little jealous listening to the mother and daughter chatting so happily. Did the baby not miss him, her father?
"Daddy, have you been wronged these days?" The baby's voice instantly brightened Gu Kaiyuan's mood.

"How could Father possibly suffer any injustice?"
"Daddy will protect you and your mother. You must be good in your mother's belly and not be naughty."

"Don't worry, Father. I can grow up in peace knowing that you will protect us."

I heard Mom's stomach rumbling. Haven't you eaten yet?

Bai Suihe stroked her belly and said, "We'll eat right away. Dad and Mom have prepared lots of delicious food. We'll give it all to you when the baby comes out."

"Okay, okay," the baby laughed happily in the belly, forgetting that she was toothless when she was born and could only cry as she drank some milk and water.

When Gu Kaiyuan heard that his wife was hungry, he quickly went to the warehouse and brought out a table of dishes, setting out the bowls and chopsticks. "You can continue chatting with the baby after you finish eating. You can't go hungry now."

Bai Suihe: "It's not that exaggerated. I had an extra meal in between."

Despite saying that, Bai Suihe really couldn't resist when she saw so much delicious food.

After finishing their meal, the two rested in the space for a while before preparing to go out.

Before leaving, Bai Suihe grabbed Gu Kaiyuan and said, "There's something I need to tell you."

Seeing her so serious, Gu Kaiyuan immediately became solemn and asked, "Is there something wrong or uncomfortable?"

“You really don’t need to be so nervous. I know my own body. If I were to feel unwell, I definitely wouldn’t just endure it.” Bai Suihe hesitated for a moment before saying, “When I went into your father’s room earlier, I saw a wooden box on the bed. Where do you think that came from?”
