Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Indeed A Bit Ugly

Ever since that man tried to steal something last time, both families have become more vigilant.

Despite their ragged attire, the four carts they have cannot be easily hidden, and they were bound to attract unwanted attention regardless.

The men were not slack, every time they stopped to rest, they would brandish their defense weapons.

The Lin brothers were naturally tall and burly, and them flaunting their long knives scared off some people with ill intentions.

Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao changed into their oldest clothes. They didn’t even dare to arrange their hair properly. Every time before they got out of the cart, they would check each other to make sure they looked ragged enough.

"Sister Nanzhi, will this really work?" Shen Miaomiao asked while looking at Nanzhi, who was made up to look very haggard.

"In theory, it should work," Nanzhi replied, dabbing a mole onto her face.

"After all, the refugees are on the move, some fast, some slow. We’ve been moving quickly these past few days, so no one will recognize us."

After Nanzhi finished speaking, she tried to dot some freckles on Shen Miaomiao’s face.

The young girl pouted and whined, "Sister Nanzhi, don’t put too many freckles."

"You’re not afraid of being scolded by your aunt?"

Hearing Nanzhi’s words, Shen Miaomiao immediately surrendered and let her do as she pleased with her face.

My beloved isn’t here anyway, I can afford to look ugly.

When she heard Lin Ercheng yelling that it was time to disembark and rest, Nanzhi helped Zhiyu and Shen Miaomiao down from the cart.

When Lin Yicheng and Lin Ercheng saw Nanzhi’s face, they were taken aback yet tried to hold back their laughter.

"What happened to your face, my girl?" the father of the Lin family couldn’t help but ask when he saw the large mole on his daughter’s face, his eyebrows were twisted in confusion.

Although these two days, she and the Shen girl have been making themselves look ugly, isn’t today’s look a bit too much?

She looked like she is of his generation now.

"This is the right way."

Mother Lin looked at Nanzhi and Shen Miaomiao’s faces and nodded with satisfaction.

At this age, it’s really not suitable to show a clean and beautiful face, making oneself look uglier is also for better self-protection.

The two families sat together for dinner, and Nanzhi subconsciously looked up at the sky again.

She wasn’t sure if it was her eyes playing tricks on her, but she always felt that the boundary in the sky was blurred, swinging from side to side.

it was as if both sides were competing, to see who could swallow the other first.

Nanzhi was confused when suddenly a noise erupted from the side.

She instinctively held on to Shen Zhiyu beside her and turned to look.

It took her a while to understand what was going on.

Because it was getting darker and this area was somewhat open, besides the Shen and Lin families, many other refugees chose to stay here overnight as well.

As a result, a few began to quarrel over spaces. Everyone was already struggling to find food and drink, so when one of them brought it up, a conflict ensued.

Seeing more and more people joining in, and some thieves taking advantage of the chaos, Mother Lin urged them to get back in the cart as quickly as possible.

Nanzhi hurriedly carried Shen Zhiyu back to the mule cart, while Shen Miaomiao, in her panic, ran to the donkey cart behind them.

"Auntie, I’m scared." Zhiyu, the little guy, held onto Nanzhi tightly, his voice slightly choked.

"Zhiyu, it’s okay." Nanzhi stroked the little guy’s head and comforted him softly.

Although Zhiyu was just a three-year-old, even she was feeling chaotic inside.

They were now the two families that seemed to be the best off. If those people’s eyes turned red with greed, they would inevitably become targets.

Even if her brothers were outstanding, they wouldn’t stand much of a chance against so many people.

"My girl, stay with Zhiyu in the cart, your father said we are heading ahead some more," Lin Ercheng called out while driving the mule cart.

"Alright."

The four carts staggered ahead. A man in the crowd watched them leave with a smirk on his face.

Moving forward, that’s just right.

Lin Yicheng was leading the way upfront. As they continued, he felt that something was amiss about their surroundings.

Why were there no people around?

Although he had a strange feeling, looking at the surrounding environment, it was indeed not a suitable place to rest.

Perhaps the location was not good, so no one lingered too long here.

Comforting himself, Lin Yicheng suddenly saw two large trees toppled on the road ahead, blocking the way.

"Father, brother, two trees have fallen ahead, we can’t get past." Lin Yicheng said while simultaneously hopping off the cart with his knife.

Lin’s father had a gut feeling when he heard what his eldest son said, and also got off the mule cart.

Two trees had fallen across the road.

Lin’s father was the first to check the tree’s roots.

"Why would there be trees lying in the middle of the road?" Nanzhi felt uneasy.

It wasn’t raining or windy, so why would there be two fallen trees on the road?

Peering out of the cart to look, she found that everything was gray and unclear in the dim light.

"Zhiyu, you sit quietly in the cart, aunty’s going down to have a look," Nanzhi carefully instructed.

"Alright, Zhiyu will stay in the cart and wait for aunty!" The little guy looked at Nanzhi and nodded vigorously.

He was a good boy, and good boys listen to aunty!

Nanzhi got off the mule cart and saw her father and brothers talking ahead. She was about to join them when she felt dizzy and subsequently lost consciousness.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Lin Ercheng turned to see Nanzhi lying on the ground and panicked. Just as he was about to call out, everything went black before his eyes.

Then the thumping sound of bodies falling was heard.

A group of masked men from within the forest quietly encircled them.

"Second Boss, do we proceed?"

The Second Boss looked thoughtful as he glanced at the people lying on the ground, then finally said, "Proceed but be careful."

The thin and lean man signaled several people to follow before he tiptoed quietly over.

Turning over the unconscious Nanzhi lying on the ground, the man frowned.

Is this the pretty girl the Fifth Boss was talking about?

She looks more like an old woman.

The more he looked, the more he felt she was ugly. When he saw the large mole on her face, he couldn’t bear to look anymore and turned his head away.

Why is this woman uglier than Old Lady Wang?

The others opened the cart curtain and saw the people lying in disarray inside the cart, all retreated as well.

"Second Boss, they have all passed out." The man finished speaking and seemed hesitant to continue.

"What else?"

The Second Boss noticed his hesitation and asked coldly, "What else is there?"

"That... that woman looks ugly. Not like the beauty that Fifth Boss mentioned..."

The man’s voice trailed off and his head drooped.

The Second Boss seemed unwilling to give up. The Fifth Boss had said that the woman in the third mule cart was pretty. Based on his stubborn character, he wouldn’t possibly fancy an ugly woman, right?

Thinking this, he seemed unconvinced and walked toward Nanzhi, even though it had gotten darker. But when he saw the mole on the woman’s face, he was silent for a while.

"She is indeed a bit ugly."

Nanzhi who was lying on the ground gritted her teeth internally, he’s the ugly one! They all are!
