When the woman saw the man was about to leave, she immediately rushed over and tried to hug him. Shen Yanqing noticed the other party's movement and dodged and kicked her.

Ouch!

The woman cried out in pain, tears in her eyes, and looked at Shen Yanqing pitifully, "Master, you kicked me and hurt me. I just wanted to serve you!"

Shen Yanqing suddenly felt nauseous as if he had swallowed a fly. "Shameless!"

Not wanting to pay attention to the woman lying on the ground, Shen Yanqing turned and left.

The woman wanted to rush over and hug Shen Yanqing's legs, but she froze in place and couldn't move. She looked down and saw a dagger stuck in her heart. Then she vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Shen Yanqing looked up and saw Qi Yanxuan and suddenly panicked. Afraid that he would misunderstand, he immediately explained: "I don't know her! I left as soon as I saw her coming! She didn't touch me!"

Seeing that Qi Yanxuan still had an ugly expression, she thought that he didn't believe in herself and suddenly felt extremely aggrieved.

He walked over and held Qi Yanxuan's hand, "Really! There's nothing between her and me!" He said while looking at the other person pitifully.

Seeing him like this, Qi Yanxuan knew that he mistakenly thought that she was angry with him.

Helplessly, he pulled the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at these people. We were paving the way for them, and they actually dared to covet my people. I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes."

When Shen Yanqing heard this, he asked, "They? Who else?"

Qi Yanxuan laughed and said, "You caught the important one, but another one ran away to me."

After hearing this, Shen Yanqing felt a surge of anger in his heart and was about to walk back.

Qi Yanxuan noticed Shen Yanqing's movements and grabbed him, hugged his waist and leaned against his arms. "Don't be angry! I've already killed him. Do you think I'm cruel?"

Shen Yanqing hugged the other person tightly with both hands. "No! Because I wanted to kill her just now! And no matter what you do, I will stand by you!"

Qi Yanxuan felt relieved when he heard his answer. He wasn't afraid of what others would say, but if the person he liked also felt that he was wrong and turned away from him, how could this relationship continue? As long as the other person didn't betray him, he could spoil him forever.

Qi Yanxuan let go of Shen Yanqing, looked at him and said, "It's not that I have to kill them, but there is still a long way to go. I don't want to face these disgusting things all day long. Killing the chicken to scare the monkey is necessary, otherwise others will follow suit when they see that there is no loss! Then it is enough for us to just hide from these people. This is the fastest and most effective way."

It is normal for people to exchange their bodies for supplies when the end of the world comes. He would not care if it was a consensual transaction with other people, but he could not tolerate it if it was done against him.

Shen Yanqing nodded in agreement, "Just do what you think is right. I will always be on your side!"

When Qi Yanxuan heard his unconditional trust in him, his heart felt as if it was filled with something.

Then Shen Yanqing dumped the two bodies where they stayed. The women would be able to see them when they woke up the next day, which would serve as a warning to them.

It was late at night and no one noticed the two more bodies.

next day

As the sky was getting light, screams woke everyone up. They gathered around and naturally some people from Kaoshan Village also came to watch.

I saw a group of women huddled together, holding their heads and screaming, and two bodies lying on the ground.

A brave and strong man stepped forward and shouted, "Stop shouting! What happened? Why is there a death?"

The women stopped screaming when they heard the loud shouts, looked up and saw the crowd coming towards them, then began to sob softly again.

The oldest woman inside replied in a trembling voice, "No...I don't know. I...I woke up early in the morning...and found them dead...dead!"

Another woman with a melon-shaped face raised her head with fear in her eyes and said, "I saw them... They went to the tent over there last night!" After saying that, she pointed in the direction of the mountain village and lowered her head again.

Shen Kui, who was in the crowd, squeezed out and angrily said, "You're talking nonsense! Our leader is the only one living in the tent among these people. Are you saying that our leader killed them?"

Shen Wenxuan, who had come along to listen to the gossip, also said, "Don't say you don't have evidence. Even if our team leader really did kill them, it's their own fault! They must have done something shameful!"

The girl with the oval face said weakly, "I... I didn't say it was your leader who killed her. I just... I just said I saw her... they went over there."

She watched them leave last night. She had wanted to go too, but ended up being a step behind them. She decided to wait and see. If they succeeded, she'd go. Thinking of this, she went to sleep. Who would have thought they'd be dead when she woke up? She was lucky she'd been a step behind, otherwise she'd be the one to die. She secretly felt lucky.

Shen Wenxuan said sarcastically, "You didn't say it directly, but isn't that what you meant?"

Seeing that they were from the village of Kaoshan, the crowd listened to their argument but didn't dare interrupt. If they wanted to leave the mountain, they had to rely on their leader! At this point, they didn't dare to say a word. The girl with the oval face had obviously thought of this too and didn't dare to say anything.

At this moment, Shen Yanqing and Qi Yanxuan came over. When everyone saw the people at the center of the topic coming, they all made way to let the two in.

Just as Shen Yanqing was about to speak, Qi Yanxuan grabbed him and signaled him not to speak with his eyes. How could he not know what Shen Yanqing was going to do?

Qi Yanxuan looked at the group of women and said with a smile: "I did kill these two people, and it was also a warning to you!"

"I know some of you are starting to get restless, but I advise you to put aside those inappropriate thoughts!"

"You guys can follow us all the way, and we won't stop you. I don't care if others are willing to do that, but don't try to target us, or we'll be treated like this! Everyone, take this for granted! If you don't have such thoughts, don't worry. After all, I won't care unless it provokes me."

After saying that, he left with Shen Yanqing. When the people in Kaoshan Village saw them leaving, they glanced at everyone and followed them.

Everyone looked at each other, and then dispersed.

Only the dozen or so women were left there, trembling with fear.

At this time, a woman spoke up, "What should we do now? Should we bury them...bury them?"

The oval-faced woman said, "Look, everyone's already packing up and getting ready to leave. Will they wait until we collect the bodies before leaving?"

The women looked at each other, packed up their things and followed, no longer paying attention to the two bodies on the ground.

***

After two days of traveling, the road became increasingly dry, and today everyone stopped in front of a swamp.

There were no trees in sight, only a meadow with potholes in the mud.

Chen Yanqing turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone, find a stick and explore for solid ground or shallow muddy water! Don't keep repeating the footprints of the people in front of you to avoid accidents!"
