The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 169 An Encounter in the Countryside

Following the guidance of the Blood Fiend Sect disciples, Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan headed towards the northern frontier.

The scenery along the way was picturesque, but they also felt a little tired.

On this day, they arrived at a small village called Beitun Village and decided to rest there for a while.

"It looks very peaceful here."

Qiu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief, gazing at the simple yet warm village scenery around her.

"Okay, let's find somewhere to eat something. You must be starving. Don't let yourself and Xiaobao go hungry."

Qi Yuxuan responded with a smile.

"With you taking care of us, we're not hungry," Qiu Ziyue said with a smile.

The two had the Blood Fiend Sect disciples follow them at a distance.

After being given the Youthful Appearance Pill by Qiu Ziyue, the Blood Fiend Sect disciples became completely obedient and have now become her followers.

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan walked along the village path and soon found a small restaurant with red lanterns hanging on it.

The sign reads "Beitun Local Snacks" and emits an enticing aroma.

They went inside and saw several wooden tables and chairs arranged neatly, with some local-style decorations hanging on the walls.

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan found a seat by the window and ordered two servings of mutton pilaf.

Just as they were about to enjoy their meal, they suddenly heard a familiar laugh coming from the doorway.

Looking up, they saw Qi Yushuang and Mu Guangcheng, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. Qi Yushuang was holding a baby in her arms.

"Aren't these Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan?"

Qi Yushuang exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with joy.

"It really is you guys!"

Qiu Ziyue and Qi Yuxuan stood up and walked over enthusiastically.

The past is like smoke and clouds. After nearly a year of worldly changes, the love, hate and grudges of the past seem to have vanished with everyone starting their own families.

The group held hands and greeted each other.

"What a coincidence, we just ordered pilaf, let's eat together!" Qi Yuxuan suggested.

Everyone agreed, so the group sat around a table, enjoying the delicious pilaf while chatting happily.

"Is this your little baby? Is it a boy or a girl? She's so cute!"

Qiu Ziyue saw the baby in Qi Yushuang's arms, took the baby's hand gently, and asked.

Qi Yushuang's face beamed with happiness as she softly replied:

"It's a girl. Her name is Mu Xue Rou, and her nickname is Rou'er. She's just over two months old and is very well-behaved."

Qiu Ziyue squatted down, exchanged a glance with Mu Xuerou, and said with a smile:

"Rou'er is so beautiful, her eyes are big and bright, like stars."

Twilight City added with a smile:

"Yes, Rou'er looks like her mother, but she also looks a bit like me."

Qi Yuxuan also came over and teased Mu Xuerou.

"Little Rou'er, Uncle Qi brought you a gift."

Qi Yuxuan took out a longevity lock from his pocket and handed it to Qi Yushuang.

He said, "Yushuang, this is a longevity lock that my father gave me when I was a child. Now I'll give it to your Rou'er."

Qi Yushuang took the longevity lock and handed it to Mu Xuerou. Seeing her daughter's happy expression, her heart was filled with warmth.

"Thank you, Rou'er will definitely like it."

The group sat around the table, eating and chatting about their recent lives.

The pilaf in Beitun Village truly lived up to its reputation; each grain of rice was distinct, infused with the rich aroma of meat and the fresh fragrance of vegetables.

Everyone enjoyed the meal immensely, frequently expressing their admiration.

"The pilaf here is so delicious, it's unlike anything we've had elsewhere."

Qi Yushuang praised it highly.

“Yes, especially the lamb in this dish, it’s tender and juicy, with absolutely no gamey smell,” Twilight City chimed in.

As they chatted, the topic gradually shifted to their respective life experiences.

Qi Yuxuan and Qiu Ziyue shared some interesting stories they encountered on their journey.

Qi Yushuang and Mu Guangcheng were shocked and grieved when they heard that the Qi family had been wiped out.

After offering some words of comfort, Qi Yushuang and Muguangcheng also recounted their own adventures and serendipitous encounters.

During their escape, Qi Yushuang and Mu Guangcheng were extremely cautious, knowing that Li Maozhen's men were secretly tracking them.

A few months ago, in a small town, they stumbled upon several mysterious and suspicious figures, who were clearly sent by Li Maozhen to hunt them down.

“We have to speed things up and get rid of these guys.”

Twilight City frowned as he spoke, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Yeah, I feel the same way. We need to find a safe place and shake them off."

Qi Yushuang nodded in agreement, but she also felt uneasy.

After discussing it, the two decided to head north to the northern frontier. They had heard that the northern frontier was vast and sparsely populated with complex terrain, making it a good place to hide from pursuers.

After several days and nights of travel, Qi Yushuang and Muguangcheng finally arrived in the Northern Frontier.

Just as they expected, the place was surrounded by vast grasslands and rolling mountains, sparsely populated, making it an ideal hiding place.

However, the pursuers did not give up easily.

One evening, they spotted several unfamiliar figures near a grove of trees.

Clearly, Li Maozhen's men had caught up with them and arrived here.

"Hurry, they're coming!"

Qi Yushuang whispered a reminder to Mu Guangcheng, and the two quickly hid deep in the woods.

In order to shake off their pursuers, they decided to take advantage of the complex terrain of northern Xinjiang to launch a counterattack.

Qi Yushuang suggested setting some simple traps, such as using branches and ropes to make tripwires, or scattering small stones in the grass to increase the difficulty for the pursuers.

"You're really smart, that's a great idea," Twilight City praised.

So they began to set traps and chose a rugged path to continue their journey.

Sure enough, a short while later, they heard a flurry of noises behind them—the pursuers had clearly stepped into a trap.

Just when they thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly encountered an old herdsman named Altay.

Altai rode a tall, magnificent horse, dressed in traditional Turkic clothing, and looked very imposing.

"Who are you? Why are you in such a sorry state?" Altay asked curiously.

Qi Yushuang briefly explained their situation and asked for help.

Upon hearing this, Altay immediately expressed its willingness to provide assistance.

“Come with me, I know a secluded place where you can take temporary refuge.”

After saying this, Altay led them through a dense forest to a small village hidden in a valley.

The villagers here are warm and hospitable, and they have provided them with food and shelter.

Qi Yushuang and Muguangcheng were extremely grateful, and at the same time, they learned more about the stories and legends of the Northern Frontier.

With the help of Altay and the villagers, Qi Yushuang and Muguangcheng successfully escaped Li Maozhen's pursuers.

This experience not only taught them how to survive in difficult situations, but also allowed them to meet many kind people.

"This experience was truly a close call to survival, but it was also very meaningful," Qi Yushuang said with emotion.

"That's right, we not only found a safe place, but also gained many valuable friendships."

Twilight City responded with a smile.

As they spent time with the villagers, they gradually adapted to the lifestyle in northern Xinjiang and even mastered some local traditional skills, such as horseback riding and archery.

"It seems there are still many unknown surprises waiting for us on our journey," Qi Yushuang said expectantly.

"Yes, the road ahead is still long, but we will definitely be able to go even further."

Twilight City nodded firmly.

"I never imagined you'd been through so much, you're truly amazing!" Qiu Ziyue exclaimed sincerely.

"In fact, sometimes difficulties are also opportunities for growth," Qi Yuxuan said thoughtfully.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the peaceful night in Beitun Village and reminiscing about this unforgettable time.

At this moment, they cherished their friendship even more and were filled with hope for the future.

To be continued in the next chapter.
