Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 462 Ancient Natural Disasters 2

However, the female protagonist transmigrated into the book. She made some preparations right after transmigrating on her wedding night. Since the medical space can collect things, she collected a lot of food and clothes.

Having absorbed all the plot and memories, Zhong Ning, also known as Du Yulan, blinked and turned to look at the person next to her.

He is quite tall, and the original owner of this body was also not short, probably around 1.65 meters.

In my memory, the original owner was as beautiful as a peach blossom, with a delicate and beautiful face, skin as smooth as jade, and eyebrows as light as smoke.

Today is the fourth day of exile. I didn’t expect the original owner to be so weak that he couldn’t hold on and passed away.

Her parents probably didn't expect this either; otherwise, they would have preferred her to stay at home after the divorce rather than be exiled.

As if sensing her gaze, Situ Xiu turned his head and looked down at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?"

His voice was clear and bright. Only when he turned around could Du Yulan see that he had a pair of peach blossom eyes. Du Yulan shook her head and looked away: "It's nothing."

Hearing that her voice was quite strong, Situ Xiu felt relieved, thinking that she was not hiding anything.

"Xiao Qi, are there any side quests?"

"No, host, just think of it as a vacation world."

Du Yulan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, knowing that completing missions in the World of Natural Disasters was no easy task: "Okay."

Although she could choose not to do them, the points from side quests always tempted her, so she usually did them.

If not, she wouldn't even think about it. Aside from her parents, who were the original owner of the house, she would leave other matters concerning the people's livelihood to the male and female protagonists.

Thinking of the male and female protagonists, she looked around and saw someone who matched the information not far away.

A young and thin girl, who looked younger than the original owner of the body, but seemed quite energetic. Her face was covered and she couldn't see it, so she didn't look at her much.

Through Xiao Qi's confirmation, it was learned that this was Ye Baiwei, the female protagonist of the world.

Beside her, a man dressed as a somewhat skilled guard was pulling a cart with a young man covered by a blanket lying on it. There were also some packages and luggage on the cart.

Du Yulan's gaze passed through the blanket and she saw that the man on the cart had stiff and somewhat unnatural legs, so she knew that this was the male lead.

She looked away and then at the group of people in front of her. Based on her memory, she knew that these were Situ Xiu's family members. Apart from the children, each adult was carrying a bundle.

The old Marquis Situ Yun and his wife walked together, supporting each other.

Beside them was a younger couple, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, each holding the hand of a small child.

The boy is older, eight years old this year, and the girl is younger, only five years old. Usually, after walking for a while, she will be carried by an adult.

They spent money to put all their family's bedding on the official's carriage, which would make their journey easier.

After all, adult men wear shackles on their feet and drag their bags and heavy objects while walking, which not only slows down their progress but is also very troublesome.

After walking for another two hours, they finally arrived at an inn, where the officials ordered them to go in and rest.

In this kind of weather, it's not suitable to spend the night outside, otherwise you'll probably all be wiped out.

The officials stayed in guest rooms and ate in the main hall, while the prisoners could only sleep in communal beds. Those with food could find a way to cook, while those without had to spend money to buy food.

"Ah Xiu, Yu Lan, come in quickly. You can sleep next to us tonight." Situ Xiu's mother, Xia Wenxiu, was a dignified and gentle woman who had been quite kind to the original owner of this body these past few days.

None of them blamed or complained about her because the family had a misfortune shortly after she married into the family; they were a reasonable family.

The old Marquis and Situ Cheng walked ahead and moved quickly, securing a good spot as soon as they entered.

Upon hearing the Lady of the Marquis's call, Situ Xiu and Du Yulan quickly settled down in the seats next to them.

"Mother, how are you and Father feeling?" Situ Xiu asked with concern.

Although Xia Wenxiu looked a little tired, she was in good spirits: "We're all fine, just take good care of Yulan."

The old Marquis Situ Yun nodded. He was not good with words and usually spoke little. After the confiscation of his property and exile, his face showed even more weariness.

Situ Xiu glanced at Du Yulan and nodded: "I will take good care of Yulan."

Du Yulan suggested, "Let's go buy some food and hot water first. Everyone must be hungry after traveling all day."

The snow outside is very thick, and it will be difficult to find firewood to start a fire in the short term. Buying firewood from the inn will definitely be expensive, so it's better to just buy hot water and food first.

If we have time, we can look for more firewood; it would be best if we could start a fire.

The Great Cold is still several months away, and they still have enough money.

The original owner's family gave a lot of silver. The families of the Crown Prince's wife and the Lady of the Marquis were both very kind and came to give gifts.

They are not poor now, but they can't make it too obvious.

During the Great Heat period, there was a water shortage, but by then they had almost reached their place of exile.

After settling his wife and children, Situ Cheng came over and said:

"Second brother, your wife is right. Let's go buy some food and water first, and then we can see if we can find any firewood when we come back!"

Situ Xiu nodded and instructed Du Yulan, "Then you, your parents, and your sister-in-law should rest for a while and wait for us to come back."

"Well, go and come back quickly."

Du Yulan put their bags away, tidied up a bit, and then walked to the door. She looked out at the white snow everywhere; it had started snowing again.

"Auntie, what are you looking at?" a child's voice rang out beside her.

Du Yulan looked down and saw Situ Cheng's eldest son, Situ An. The little guy looked up at her and asked.

In ancient times, an eight-year-old child was already considered sensible. She patted his head, saying, "It's cold outside, you should go inside!"

"Auntie, aren't you cold? Let's go inside together!"

Du Yulan sighed, "It's cold, let's go inside then!"

"Sister-in-law, Xiao An, come in quickly. It's snowing outside again, and you'll catch a cold if you stand at the door," said Princess Consort Xu Qingyu as she came over to see the two of them.

"Sister-in-law!" Du Yulan called out.

Situ An also spoke up, "I know, Mother. My aunt and I were just about to go in."

Xu Qingyu said with a smile, "Well, if I catch a cold, how am I supposed to explain it to my second brother and your father?"

The three walked back to their resting place, which wasn't very warm at all; the thatched house was drafty.

Little niece Situ Qing was in Xia Wenxiu's arms. When she saw them return, she quickly said, "Brother, Aunt, and Mother are back."

Xia Wenxiu turned around and looked at her, worriedly saying, "Yulan, it's so cold outside, why are you still running outside? And what about Xiao An?"

"Mother, I just went out for some fresh air," Du Yulan said.

There were a lot of people here, and the air quality wasn't great. Even though she tried to block it out, she still felt a little uncomfortable.
