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

Chapter 247. Here we go again.
Bai Suihe watched as the snow on the ground lessened, and then looked up at the sky; there was no snow left at all.

Looking back at the distant mountains, the snow on the two peaks is different. Behind them, the mountains are covered in snow, while further ahead, you can see the gray-green color of the mountaintops.

"There's no more snow further ahead," Dongmei and the others found it strange that the mountain peaks, which could be seen at a glance, presented different scenery in front and behind.

Everyone cheered at the sight before them, finally having survived those awful snowy days, and wouldn't have to be so cold anymore.

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the dark clouds in the sky and sighed, "Maybe in a couple of days everyone will miss the snowy weather of the past."

With the thick snow gone, everyone's speed increased unconsciously. That night, they finally arrived at a dry place, where they saw mud and withered branches everywhere. They felt that this was truly the end of their hardship.

Everyone was in high spirits that night, and they all brought out their best food, filling the air with the aroma of food.

It's a pity that there are only withered branches and rotten grass around here, otherwise everyone would be more interested in looking around to see if they can pick some wild vegetables.

Not being in the snow saves everyone a lot of trouble. At least firewood is easier to obtain, and there's no need to build shelters to protect against the wind and snow. The fire burns brightly, and you can easily curl up in a corner to rest.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't know if there were any other variables, but he didn't dare to gamble. He reminded everyone that night watchmen must not let their guard down.

Although no one understood why he said that, the guards from both escort agencies readily agreed, and they would stand guard properly every time without Gu Kaiyuan's reminder; it had become their habit.

At Gu Kaiyuan's request, Bai Suihe slept in the carriage this time, with Gu Kaiyuan lying down beside her fully clothed.

"Is there any unusual activity tonight?" Bai Suihe felt that she had been protected too well on her journey, so well that she had forgotten some of the records in the book. In order to attract readers, the beginning should be captivating, but the events in the middle and some transitional scenes were just meant to be understood in general terms, and the details were only skimmed.

If she had known she would be transported into this book, she would have memorized every single word.

Unfortunately, there's no going back in this world, and no hindsight. We can only guess based on the general plot.

"I've forgotten the exact date, but in areas without snow, some people have started to become active again." Gu Kaiyuan was worried about unforeseen circumstances, so he wasn't entirely sure. Now everyone was used to sleeping by the fire, so the carriage was actually safer.

Bai Suihe was genuinely not cold; she was covered with thick quilts and another thick blanket on top.

"Are they after your father?" The Gu family really is the root of all disaster. These people who are with the Gu family are the cannon fodder mentioned in the book. Now it's up to them to see who is lucky.

“They all want what he has,” Gu Kaiyuan knew these people wouldn’t kill the Gu family, but others weren’t so lucky.

"If that's the case, why don't they just kidnap people?" Taking away the source of evil would bring peace to everyone.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "It's not that they don't want to, but that they dare not. As long as the Gu family leaves the exile team, it means that he will be a fugitive."

Once his crimes are aggravated, he will never have a chance to turn his life around; it will be a death sentence for him.

These people dared not push too far, fearing that if the Gu family didn't cooperate, they would risk a complete breakdown in the fight, leaving everyone worse off.

Bai Suihe thought of the silver she had stored in her space and asked, "Do you think they know how much your father has embezzled?"

"There should still be a figure, but the Gu family won't be abandoned until they see the money."

"Then what about your mother before..." Bai Suihe was somewhat skeptical of this statement, after all, a life had already been lost in the process.

“It could be an accident, or it could be due to differing stances,” Gu Kaiyuan had considered this possibility before. After all, there were already several powerful factions in the court, and he wasn’t sure if there were other people with ulterior motives among them. “If that’s the case, then we don’t need to be too nervous. We’re so far away from the Gu family that we shouldn’t be implicated.”

If cannon fodder wants to live well, they'd better stay away from the main character. There are so many people between them, so they're not going to be lucky enough to take a hit for someone else.

The couple were talking quietly, discussing when these people would arrive. As they talked, Bai Suihe's eyelids grew heavy. Just as she was about to let loose and have a good sleep, a cry for help suddenly came from outside. Startled, Bai Suihe immediately started playing her instrument, accidentally pulling on her stomach. She immediately clutched her stomach, feeling the pain coming from there.

"Are you alright?" Gu Kaiyuan immediately sat up and helped Bai Suihe up. "How are you? Does your stomach hurt?"

Bai Suihe waved her hand gently, "I'll rest for a bit, I got up too fast just now."

"It's getting chaotic outside, do you want to go out and check it out?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "What's there to see outside? Lin Hua and the others will take care of everything. You should lie down first, and I'll get you a cup of hot water."

I don't know when the female doctor my mother-in-law arranged will arrive. The female doctor my mother-in-law invited was not in the capital at the time. We agreed to meet halfway, but I don't know which town they will be waiting for.

Without the female doctor by his side, and with Bai Suihe's belly growing bigger every day, Gu Kaiyuan was truly uncertain about the future.

The journey ahead was relatively slow, but the delays caused by the heavy snow will need to be caught up in the coming days. Coupled with the upcoming rainy weather, the road ahead will be anything but smooth.

"I'm much better now," Bai Suihe said. She knew her own body well and had calmed down. Having learned her lesson, she would definitely not dare to make such a big move again next time.

At this moment, the noise outside grew closer and closer, and one could sense the panic in those voices.

"Damn it, this is never going to end! Why are these men in black here again?"

"There are even more people today than before. They just come in and start hacking and slashing randomly. Who provoked them?"

"Who else could have provoked them? Probably the Gu family again. They're really unlucky. Being exiled is bad enough, but they're also dragging them down with them."

"Hurry up and find a place to hide, lest these people go berserk."

"Isn't that the Gu family's kid over there? I'm not running that way anymore, I'm running this way. I'm afraid of getting dragged into this mess by him."

"That makes sense. Stay away from the Gu family."

Someone else shouted, "Men in black, you took the Gu family member over there, that's the Gu family's eldest grandson..."

Bai Suihe, “...Maybe you shouldn’t go out.”

Gu Kaiyuan: "...I'm not going out."

He's not going to play the hero. What would he be doing running out at a time like this? To help the Gu family fend off these men in black?

He wasn't that selfless, but the sounds from outside made his expression change.
