Chapter 20 Don’t Bully My Sister-in-law

Su Nuan looked up and saw dozens of small eyes glowing red deep in the cave. She felt her scalp tingling instantly and did not dare to act rashly.

Cheng Feng kicked the person who was sitting down to rest in the cave, "Make way, a good dog doesn't block the road."

Everyone moved aside, and a two-foot-wide path appeared in the middle.

Cheng Feng came to Su Nuan and continued to move forward with a torch. As a result, a large number of rats rushed out and scurried around in the cave, squeaking.

Countless people in the cave were startled again, and some brave ones even started catching mice.

"Catch it quickly, this is all meat."

"Go away... go away... I'd rather die than eat it..."

The people on the third day of exile were not yet extremely hungry, so most of them avoided the rats with disgust and fear.

Su Nuan would never think of eating mice. Seeing Cheng Feng drive the mice away, she said, "Mice don't usually gather in caves with bats. This rain might last a long time."

Cheng Feng was a little annoyed. If he couldn't hurry, it meant he couldn't arrive at the destination on time, and he would be punished.

Su Nuan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Cheng, while we're still a while away from the capital, why not send someone back to ask for a leniency order?"

Cheng Feng shook his head. "It's not that easy, but we will give you a 20-day grace period for natural disaster delays."

Su Nuan pursed her lips and said nothing. In her previous life, the rain lasted for a whole month, and Cheng Feng did not let everyone take shelter from the rain, so nearly twenty people died within ten days.

Su Nuan is not a kind-hearted person, she just wants the people on her side to live more comfortably.

She then said, "This rain won't stop for a while. Is there a town ahead? Buy some oilcloth and make raincoats so that you can get on with your journey."

Cheng Feng handed the torch to Su Nuan, "Take it, I'll go make some arrangements."

Su Nuan nodded. "The team will definitely be delayed for a few days. Can I take a walk in the mountains during these days?"

Cheng Feng said without turning his head: "You can do whatever you want, no one dares to say anything."

Su Nuan raised the corner of her mouth. Cheng Feng's voice was so loud that everyone here heard it, so no one dared to say anything about Su Nuan going out.

Of course, it was dark outside and it was raining heavily, so Su Nuan would not go out.

She squeezed next to Xue and took out a bag of steamed buns under the cover of her sleeve.

"Mom, Grandma, please eat something first."

No one took anything from the carriage; even if they did, they would get wet in the rain.

It was an uneasy night, with many people coughing.

Early the next morning, Su Nuan came out of the cave and went down the mountain to check the carriage.

The horses are fine, but they can't be exposed to the rain all the time, otherwise the livestock will catch a cold.

Su Nuan untied the horse and pulled it to a groove next to the cave. It could barely shelter from the heavy rain, which was already very good for the horse.

She rummaged through the car and found some things, wrapped them in oilcloth and took them to the cave.

Ling Yun in the cave couldn't bear to see her busying herself, so he said, "Sister-in-law... I'm strong, I can get it."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, come with me to move the things, we should stay here for a few days."

Even though the rain outside hadn't reached its heaviest, it was already difficult to walk, so Cheng Feng would not lead anyone forward rashly.

Su Nuan took Ling Yun to move all the things in the carriage to the cave.

Cover the floor with oilcloth and put bedding on it so that the elderly and children won’t feel cold when sitting on it.

The rest of the people gathered in groups of three or four, looking at Su Nuan with envy and jealousy.

Someone shouted, "We are all implicated by their family. Why should they live so well while we have to suffer?"

"They are the real sinners. We robbed them, and they owe us their things."

The people who only had two black-faced steamed buns a day were now hungry and idle, so they responded to the call and all stood up and approached the Ling family inside.

Su Nuan frowned. These exiles were no different from disaster victims. They had no psychological pressure to rob others for their own benefit.

She stood in front of the Ling family and shouted coldly: "Don't you want to die?"

A strange man was so immoral that he rushed up and tried to slap Su Nuan.

Ling Yun took a quick step forward and grabbed the man's wrist. He raised his fist and roared, "Don't bully my sister-in-law."

He punched the man hard in the face, and the sound of his nose bone breaking could be clearly heard.

The man fell back after being hit, but his wrist was held by Ling Yun and he couldn't break free. He could only cover his nose and wail.

Ling Yun let go of his hand, raised his foot and kicked hard, and the man's body flew out and crushed a group of people.

The cave was already soundproof, and their wailing and cursing alarmed the soldiers outside.

A man wearing a special raincoat walked in. He had a pair of gloomy eagle eyes, a pointed jaw, and lips tightly pressed into a line.

Su Nuan's heart skipped a beat when she saw this person. This person was Qin Shou, whom both Cheng Feng and herself wanted to kill!

She couldn't help but touch her face. The rain had already washed away the dirt on her face. This pervert would not let her go.

She raised her hand and put on the rain hat to cover most of her face. This should be fine.

Ling Yun suddenly reached out and wiped Su Nuan's face, "Sister-in-law, your face is dirty."

Su Nuan smelled a fishy smell and raised her hand to wipe her face. Her hands were covered with dust and a little oil.

I really don't know if Ling Yun went to grab dirt after eating the dried meat? Wouldn't that make his face dirtier the more he wiped it?

She wanted to wipe it off with her sleeve, but her whole body froze when her eyes met Qin Shou's. She clenched her fists to calm herself down.

Not only for myself, but also for my mother-in-law. In this life, I don't want my mother-in-law to compromise and be teased by Qin Shou for my sake.

She stared at Qin Shou and said, "Sir, these people are trying to steal our things. We are the main culprits. If we can't reach the place of exile safely, the people above will definitely hold us accountable."

These threatening words made Qin Shou's eyes even gloomier, and he glanced at everyone coldly.

"Hmph, those who cause trouble will be whipped thirty times."

At this time, if you were cold, hungry and then received thirty lashes, there would be only one outcome, and that was death.

The people who were originally instigated instantly returned to their positions and shrank like quails.

Fortunately, Qin Shou was just trying to scare people and would not do anything to delay their journey, so no one was beaten.

But he looked at the man who was kicked down by Ling Yun and couldn't get up and said indifferently: "Drag him out and chop him up."

Officials never get tired of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys because the effect is really good.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Qin Shou was not paying attention to her.

She looked at Ling Yun. This guy was stupid, but he still had some fighting power. It seemed that this was not a bad idea. She could order him to do something, and then use candy to coax him into keeping his mouth shut.

Ling Yun's veins were throbbing when he saw Su Nuan's calculating eyes. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't guess what Su Nuan wanted to do. He could only smile foolishly to hide his uneasiness.

Su Nuan looked away. The two of them had their own thoughts. Fortunately, they didn’t know each other’s thoughts, otherwise it would definitely be very lively.

Qin Shou, who had turned to leave, suddenly remembered something. He turned around and pointed at Su Nuan, "You, take off your hat."
