Bai Mo raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "Oh? Tell me, how else can you not forgive me?"
He wanted to know how he could get rid of this annoying guy who was too troublesome to be carried on his shoulders or lifted in his hands.
He Shiwen groaned for a moment, then for the first time, took the initiative to reveal her identity to someone. "If I tell you, you'll be scared to death! My father is the commander of the commune's army. If you dare to bully me, I'll have him send the entire regiment to capture you. Once they catch you, I'll extend your sentence indefinitely! You'll be sent to a farm for forced labor for the rest of your life, and don't even think about getting out!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mo's face suddenly turned gloomy.
He was wrong.
This woman is totally hopeless!
He shouldn't have taken He Shiwen with him on his journey today just because she didn't abandon him outside the cave last night and let him die...
She should just be left to die in the valley!
He Shiwen had no idea Bai Mo's opinion of her had already fallen to negative. She didn't forget to add to her threat, "Also, don't think that just because your younger sister and brother-in-law are in the army, you can get in through the back door. Even they have to listen to my father! So... you'd better be nicer to me."
The reason why she said all this was not only to make Bai Mo, who had been looking down on her all the way, look up to her.
Also, she wanted to take this opportunity to remind Bai Mo not to do anything bad to her, because she has a background!
If you mess with her, you will suffer the consequences!
As for how much water there is in He Shiwen's words, only she knows...
After threatening Bai Mo, He Shiwen felt completely relieved. She trotted all the way to the spring.
First, he scooped out some spring water to wash his hands, making sure his hands were clean. Then he put his palms together to scoop up a handful of water and drank it in small sips.
The spring water is sweet and clear.
It was like the ultimate pure brew. The moment it entered her mouth, her lips, which were dry to the point of cracking, felt instantly nourished, and her stomach, which had been aching from hunger, felt relieved.
He Shiwen's brows suddenly relaxed.
Delicious!
Even if you don’t have enough to eat, at least you can drink enough water!
So she continued to drink water in small sips.
“…”
He Shiwen's fussiness made Bai Mo frown behind her.
His feet suddenly felt a little itchy.
I had the urge to kick He Shiwen into the spring.
Just when Bai Mo couldn't help but raise his foot, eager to try to kick He Shiwen into the spring water - suddenly there was a rustling sound in the distance.
Bai Mo immediately retracted his foot, grabbed He Shiwen's wrist and forcibly lifted her up.
He Shiwen was still wondering, "What are you doing? I haven't finished drinking yet!"
"Idiot! Do you want to drink water or live?"
Bai Mo couldn't help but curse He Shiwen, and then, regardless of He Shiwen's wishes, he forcibly dragged her away. The two hid behind a huge rock on the hillside.
Because of the advantage of perspective, Bai Mo and He Shiwen, who were on the hillside, could easily see the situation below.
In the distance, three people were carrying shoulder poles and buckets, coming here to fetch water.
They all looked like locals and spoke the local dialect. They should be villagers from nearby. But judging from their dress and temperament, they looked uncouth and there was not a single honest and decent person among them.
As they hurried along, they cursed and said:
"Even small things like fetching water require us to do it! Can't those foreign devils do things for themselves? It's so annoying!"
"Well, it's not like they won't pay us. If we just work with them for a few more days, won't we be able to get rich?"
"I just don't know when we can get our wages..."
"It will probably be soon! I heard that they will soon start their plan against the Peace Commune. Then we can get the money and leave!"
"Alas... why do I feel so uneasy? Tell me, if we help those foreign devils, do we become traitors?"
"I don't care! I'll work for whoever pays me!"
The conversation between these people made He Shiwen extremely angry.
She clenched her fists and cursed softly, "These traitors! They're willing to sell their consciences for money."
Bai Mo sneered, thinking that this woman was truly naive. He also taunted her, "Is it possible that these people are making such unscrupulous money precisely because they have no conscience?"
He Shiwen glanced at Bai Mo in surprise, as if she couldn't believe a smuggler could say such insightful things. She was used to speaking her mind, so she subconsciously replied, "Same as you?"
Bai Mo: “…”
He was just smuggling and selling contraband, not betraying his country.
It's not that serious, okay?
The two of them deliberately lowered their voices when they talked, and the locals kept talking, which completely covered up other sounds.
The three of them came to the spring and talked about the base's developments while drawing water.
"Oh right! The two groups of foreigners who were on night patrol last night are dead. What do you think happened?"
"Hiss... maybe those soldiers who served during the day didn't catch all of them, and there are still some fish that slipped through the net?"
"I told those foreign devils a long time ago! Just grab the guy and kill him directly, but they refused! They said they wanted to keep him for some... experiment? I really don't understand these foreign devils."
…
After chatting for a while, they soon finished drawing water and the three of them carried the buckets back the same way.
Even though the three people had left for a while, the nameless anger in He Shiwen's heart behind the boulder still did not subside.
