My whole family time-traveled! I became a god during my exile in a famine.

Chapter 129 Racing Against the Fog
Alright, Miss Xin, who originally wanted to reduce the number of people, didn't get to wait for many people to leave. Instead, she recruited sixteen new people.

The original convict group consisted of 183 people, but one of them, a mentally challenged man, suffered from diarrhea and could not be saved. His two brothers, in a fit of anger, remained with the group.

Having entered the city, they must have found another good place to go, and left without saying goodbye.

Xin Nian didn't care at all, and indeed no one else cared about the two of them.

Sixth Sister was eager for more people to leave; the group was large, and leading them was extremely tiring.

However, now, aside from the original 181 people, plus Luan Dalong and Xiao Yong, Tian Xiaorui and her brother, and the sixteen newly recruited members, the Crown Prince's group easily exceeds two hundred people...

Instead of decreasing, it has increased, leaving me feeling helpless and frustrated.

What can we do? We'll just have to play it by ear on the road.

The little girl was startled by the huge crowd in front of her as soon as she stepped out of the room.

Everyone was fully prepared and lined up at the second gate!
Upon seeing her emerge, they all called out in unison, "Sixth Miss."

"Let's go!" Sixth Sister shouted angrily, took Chang Mianmian's arm, and set off with spirited little steps.

"Mother, hurry up, the procession has already started moving." Wang Bangyan paced back and forth at the door of the side room, urging his mother, who was still dawdling inside.

The old woman opened the door and quickly climbed onto his back, saying, "Come on, come on, you're rushing me to the bathroom, hurry up and catch up with Sixth Miss."

Wang Bangyan has been worn down by his mother lately, and of course, his leg strength has also improved considerably...

He carried his elderly mother on his back and started walking, while his mother kept turning back to wave.

"Daughter-in-law, make sure you bring everything, so that nothing is missing."

"Okay, Mother, you go first."

Wang Xiaomei coughed a few times, her face flushed, "Sister-in-law, hurry up."

"Here you come, let's go." Qian Shi had bundles hanging from her chest and back, making her look somewhat comical.

Wang Xiaomei reached out to take the bundle from her sister-in-law's arms.

"Alright, I'll carry you. You're still sick. Let's walk." Madam Qian pulled Wang Xiaomei, whose steps were a little unsteady, to follow.

The group of about two hundred people stopped for a while at the entrance of the government office.

Miss Xin requisitioned all four horses and two carriages that were left in the government office.

One vehicle was used to haul goods, while the other was arranged for the elderly Ms. Yu to ride in.

Xin Nian let her mother and younger brother hitch a ride, blatantly showing favoritism, and no one could say anything about it.

Adding the two little ones from the eldest son's side, that makes five people.

To lighten the burden on the horses, only two more people can be squeezed into the carriage at most.

The mothers of the eldest, second, and third wives took turns making arrangements, and Madam Yu tried her best to treat them all equally while giving priority to the pregnant second son's wife.

Mei Zhuqing didn't mind; she even complained about being cooped up in the carriage and preferred to walk instead.

The two brothers, Mu Zhong and Mu Liang, each drove one of the two carts. Granny Lu sat on the shaft of the cart, steadily sewing her son's stockings while the cart bounced along.

The speed at which the needle flew and thread was so fast that no matter how bumpy the carriage was, it didn't slow down the work.

Xin Nian looked around, then pulled Chang Mianmian onto the horse and galloped away for a long distance.

Even in the apocalypse, people can fly planes; riding a horse is just a piece of cake for them.

Xin Wenyuan also mounted his horse and tied a large ball of light to the horse's rump for illumination.

Once outside the government office and heading north, everyone within the sunlight followed closely with solemn expressions, not daring to slack off.

Xin Nian and Chang Mianmian ran in front, while No. 1 followed closely behind, pushing a cart with great strides.

Chen Ling's injuries have improved in the past two days, and she can sit up with some support. Since the day before yesterday, she has been trying to do what she can, such as picking vegetables, but Chang Mianmian has made her rest so she couldn't continue.

A considerable number of people left the city, and most of them heeded the advice and went out of the city with their families.

Along the way, they saw many horse-drawn carriages, donkey carts, and oxcarts, but Xin Nian and her group blended into the crowd and didn't stand out much.

The crowd lined up to leave the city, making a noisy scene. Occasionally, their eyes would meet, but they were all very wary of each other.

The rain kept falling in a steady, dense drizzle. Although it wasn't heavy, Xin Wenyuan kept threatening them, saying that the rain was unclean and contained all sorts of microorganisms and toxins. He said that if they got on their skin and didn't have any wounds, it would be fine, but if they did, bacteria and other things would get in through the wounds.

Although they couldn't understand what was being said, it didn't stop them from listening. They all wore headscarves, straw mats, masks, and other items to try to protect themselves from the rain.

As more and more people left the city, everyone crowded together, wary of each other.

Xie Ninglan took out three sesame candies from her handbag and gave them to the three little ones. She then lifted a corner of the curtain and peeked outside.

A small light bulb was attached to the frame to provide illumination while driving.

Xin Wenyuan didn't dare install too many small light bulbs, lest it be too bright and conspicuous.

Mu Dalang drove his carriage, closely following behind Master Xin, when he saw Master Xin turn around on his horse and point to the side.

Mu Dalang turned his head and saw that it was the brother and sister whom the Sixth Sister had just brought home yesterday.

The older sister was carrying her younger brother on her back, running with small steps. Despite her thin and frail body, she ran quite fast.

"Xiaorui, put your little brother in the car." Xin Wenyuan was genuinely afraid that the little boy's head would be broken by his neck.

Clinging to its older sister, with a large head and a small body, it bounced up and down, its big head bobbing up and down, which was quite frightening to watch.

"Come here." Mu Dalang beckoned to Tian Xiaorui and her brother.

Tian Xiaorui was very obedient and did whatever her master asked her to do. She carried her younger brother over and lifted the boy up.

Mu Dalang drove the cart with one hand and held the child with the other, placing him steadily on the cart shaft.

With her body feeling lighter, Tian Xiaorui quickened her pace and was able to easily keep up with the carriage.

The vehicle slowed down to accommodate the crowd, and a line of people followed behind, no one daring to fall behind.

Xin Nian and Chang Mianmian ran ahead and circled around before slowly stopping by the roadside to wait for the convoy to arrive.

"Sister," Mianmian mumbled, a small piece of chocolate dangling from her mouth, "Are you about to advance to the fourth rank?"

"Yes, it would be best if we could get the special medicine back." Xin Nian held the riding whip and whispered.

That way, at least we'll have a readily available medicine cabinet, so we won't panic no matter what we do.

"That's great!" Chang Mianmian grinned. "Sister, you must work hard. Our whole family is counting on you."

"Don't you think we have what you call the protagonist's halo? We seem to encounter natural disasters and upheavals wherever we go."

Chang Mianmian pouted, "Then we'd rather not have this halo."

The two parked on the side of the road and soon saw the convoy of cars slowly approaching.

Liu Huo rode forward and bowed. "Sixth Miss, His Highness said that this speed is probably not enough. Our people have found out that the fog has entered Wan'an Prefecture. If we don't hurry, we will soon be surrounded by the fog as well."

Xin Nian's expression turned serious, and she raised the small ball of light in her hand to shine it on her father, who was not far away.

The old father immediately understood, reined in his horse, turned around, and waved his hand, "Pass the word down, speed up, move forward."

The carriage suddenly sped up, and the group of people following behind immediately tensed up and hurriedly quickened their pace.

"Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss."

Xin Nian turned her horse around and saw Sha Laoda and Pi Laoer running over with several brothers, waving at her.
