Chapter 46: Starving

There should be a little bit, right?

The situation was so dangerous at that time, but the villain ignored his own safety and subconsciously protected himself in his arms.

If it's not heart-beating, how else can it be explained?

Thinking of this, Shen Wan's palms sweated nervously.

If he confesses his feelings later, will she agree?

Should I agree directly or pretend to be reserved and refuse?

Xie Mubai slowly closed his eyes, his magnetic voice sounding exceptionally cold in the darkness: "We had an agreement."

"If you heal my leg, I will protect you for the rest of your life."

A few light words poured down Shen Wan's heart like a basin of cold water.

She was too naive.

How could she forget that from the beginning to the end, the villain only liked Chen Yan!

Chen Yan is beautiful and noble, and has the halo of a heroine, so it is normal for a large group of men to be obsessed with her.

As an ugly cannon fodder female supporting role, what qualifications does she have to compete with the heroine for a man?

Shen Wan took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.

It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.

After a hundred days, when the villain can walk freely, she will withdraw from his life.

Shen Wan didn't notice that the tips of Xie Mubai's ears had already turned suspiciously red.

It rained all night, and the water at the door of the thatched hut was a foot deep.

Hu Dahai's food bag was empty and there was nothing left to eat.

If the weather doesn't clear up sooner or later, these people will starve to death.

Shen Wan didn't take out anything to eat, but just drank water silently.

This spiritual spring water has a nourishing effect. Even if you don’t eat for three to five days, your body will be fine.

"Mom, I'm hungry..." The big girl blinked her big watery eyes and said softly.

It’s okay for adults not to eat, but children are still growing, so drinking water alone is not enough to fill their stomachs.

Shen Wan thought for a moment and said, “Wait, sister will go out to find you something to eat.”

Upon hearing this, Hu Dahai immediately stopped him: "No, it's too dangerous outside."

The heavy rain washed away the road, and the Joker girl was not familiar with the terrain.

If you miss a step and fall off the cliff, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"I'm nearby, not far away." Shen Wan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Seeing that she was determined to do so, Hu Dahai no longer objected.

"I'm going too!" Wang Qi looked at it and stood up immediately.

Da Niu is from the Wang family, and he has no reason to let her take this risk.

Shen Wan shook her head: “Your foot is just getting better, so don’t go out. If something happens, I will be distracted.”

Wang Qi’s face turned pale.

Well, he admitted that if he went there, not only would he not be able to help, but he would also get her into trouble.

"Then you better be careful." Xie Mubai warned with his calm and cold face.

Shen Wan said "hmm", then put on the oilcloth and rushed into the heavy rain.

Seeing this clown girl chatting and laughing with others but being indifferent to him, Xie Mubai felt as if his heart was pierced by a needle.

"Did you offend her?" Wang Qi also felt a little strange and asked.

Xie Mubai shook his head.

Last night, fearing that she would be cold, he even took the initiative to hold her while she slept.

He was already trying to be nice to her, so it seemed like she had no reason to be angry.

Shen Wan was indeed not angry, but rather found it somewhat funny.

Maybe it's because I've been single for too long, so I have a secret crush on the villain.

Instead of spending time lamenting the passing of time, it would be better to fill your stomach.

Thinking of this, she hid in the space and started eating a bunch of snacks.

I don’t know why, but my favorite donuts now taste like chewing wax.

After eating and drinking, seeing that it was getting late, Shen Wan flashed out of the space and picked some wild vegetables from the roadside to take back.

The convicts were eagerly waiting for her return in the thatched hut, but they were disappointed when they saw that she only brought back a bunch of wet wild vegetables.

"I thought it was something good." Sun rolled her eyes with a look of disdain.

Shen Wan smiled coldly: “No matter whether it is a good thing or not, I won’t give it to you anyway!”

"You talk like who wants to eat it." Sun curled her lips, "It's just some wild vegetables for feeding pigs, no one would eat it."

Shen Wan was too lazy to waste words with her and handed the wild vegetables to the big girl who came forward.

Neither the uncle nor the sister-in-law of the Wang family are people who like to take advantage of others. They can't get food, so they do more work when they have work to do.

After washing the vegetables with the rainwater she had collected, Big Girl's mother looked at Shen Wan and asked, "How do you eat this?"

Without firewood, do we have to eat it raw?

Shen Wan smiled and said, "I'll make you a wild vegetable salad."

What the hell is wild vegetable salad?

Even Wang Qi, who is full of knowledge, doesn't know.

Shen Wan chopped the wild vegetables and added some salad dressing to mix.

This salad dressing was some leftover from her past, and she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

Looking at the plate of raw vegetables, the other prisoners couldn't help but look at it with disdain, and didn't even have the desire to grab it.

They would rather starve than touch the pig food.

Not to mention them, even Da Niuniang and Wang Qi lost their appetite after seeing it.

Xie Mubai was the more considerate one. He picked up a wild vegetable very gracefully and put it in his mouth.

The wild vegetables, which originally had a sour taste, had a unique flavor after being coated with a thin layer of sauce.

Although it is not very good, it is still a rare delicacy in these wild mountains and wilderness.

Wang Qi and others looked at it and started eating too.

Hu Dahai had no appetite, and even when Shen Wan sent him a bowl, he refused it.

In the face of hunger, so-called self-esteem is not worth mentioning at all.

The children couldn't bear the hunger and started crying loudly.

Especially Dabao, his voice was the most shrill, making everyone upset.

After seeing this, a few big men also went out to find something to eat.

Aunt Zhou was tied up and Mrs. Zhao was in a trance. In desperation, Mrs. Li, who had the best heart, also followed the men out.

There were very few edible things on the mountain, and they didn't know what wild vegetables were, so they just picked a bunch of them and brought them back.

I took a bite and almost vomited out the bitter bile.

Hu Dahai looked at it and his expression became even uglier.

"Boss, I didn't eat the steamed bread yesterday. You can eat it." Scarface sat leaning against the wall, his voice very weak.

He was already injured, and having not eaten for a day, his body soon couldn't take it anymore.

Hu Dahai's eyes became hot.

Nowadays, a steamed bun is more valuable than gold.

He took out a hard steamed bread from Scarface's body and handed it to his lips: "You need to eat something if you are in such a bad shape."

"No need." Scarface smiled sadly and shook his head helplessly. "Even if I go to the county government office, I will end up in jail. It's better to die now."

"Boss, I don't blame you."

"I know I did something wrong, and I really regret it..."

After hearing this, Hu Dahai couldn't stop crying.

"Stop talking!" He interrupted Scarface's words with a hoarse voice, "Live well and act like a man!"

"If you do something wrong, you must take responsibility. What kind of man would you be if you just die?"

At this moment, the black steamed bread in his hand was like a big plate of fat meat, attracting the eyes of the convicts to shine.

Suddenly, an old man reached out and snatched the steamed bread away.

Just as I was about to take it back, I saw that he had already stuffed the steamed bread into his mouth.

"Give it back to me!" Hu Dahai's eyes turned red, and he quickly drew out a long knife from his waist.
