Chapter 17 Did She Run Away?
When Sun heard this, she immediately became angry.
"Why?" She stretched her slender neck and spoke in a sharp voice, "Just because that ugly woman saved you, you can use your power for personal gain?"
"I'm just using my power for personal gain. Do you have any objections?" Hu Dahai put his hands on his hips and looked at her provocatively.
He has been in charge of escorting prisoners for many years, but this is the first time he has encountered such a difficult group of people.
Even though he has become a fallen chicken, he still thinks of himself as a phoenix high above everyone else!
Sun also got angry.
"Of course I have objections!" She turned around and began to stir up everyone's emotions. "We're all exiles. Why are we divided into different classes? Why does she have special privileges?"
"Some people shouldn't think they're great just because they're officials. If they really piss us off, we won't leave."
"If you can't reach the Northwest within the stipulated time, I'll see how you'll report back!"
After being driven around like dogs by these officials for several days, everyone was already feeling very aggrieved.
Now, after hearing this, I became even more furious.
"Yes, we won't leave. Kill us with one blow if you dare!"
After hearing this, everyone sat down and refused to leave.
They also want Shen Wan's treatment and want to have free white flour pancakes every meal!
Seeing that a group of fugitives dared to rebel, several officers couldn't help but change their expressions.
If they fail to reach the place of exile within the specified time, they will be severely punished according to regulations.
The boss is really something. Why would he make enemies with everyone just for an ugly girl?
There are many ways to repay a favor, and you don’t have to go to the market.
"You don't think I dare not take action!" Hu Dahai immediately became angry and drew his shining sword from his waist. "It's a long journey from the capital to the northwest, and we have to cross the poisonous forest. It's normal for a few people to die."
"Come on, who of you wants to test the sharpness of my sword first?"
Before he finished speaking, he swung the big knife in his hand and chopped it straight towards a woman's head.
"I'm leaving, leaving right now!"
The woman was so frightened that her soul was about to leave her body, and a warm liquid flowed down her legs.
Suddenly, the hot and humid air was filled with a strong smell of urine.
Hu Dahai sneered and pointed the big knife at a man's head: "What about you?"
"I'm leaving too!" The man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, stammering, "I promise I won't hold you back."
Hu Dahai nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze finally fell on Sun.
"Go...I must go!" Sun said quickly in fear without waiting for him to ask.
Hu Dahai sneered, not disguising the contempt in his eyes at all: "Are you still going to the market?"
"No, no, no, I'm not going anywhere!" Sun said quickly with a pale face.
Hu Dahai curled his lips and then pulled back the long knife: "You are still sensible."
"I asked the Shen family's sister to go to the market because she is proficient in medicine. I asked her to help buy some medicine."
"You said I had selfish motives, and that's indeed true."
When Sun heard this, she quickly said in a servile manner, "No, no, no, you are doing this for our own good."
"If you have a problem with your body, what are we going to do on the road?"
Looking at her servile appearance, Shen Wan couldn't help but look at her with disdain.
The reputation of the Duke's Mansion has been completely disgraced by this woman.
"Are you going?" Xie Mubai stared at her and asked calmly.
Shen Wan nodded: “If I don’t sell these herbs I picked, they will rot.”
"Once we sell it, we won't have to be so strapped for cash on the road."
When Xie Mubai heard this, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Shen Wan was a little surprised, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xie Mubai stretched out his big hand and tightly wrapped the skinny little black hand in it.
Her hands were so small and soft, not much bigger than a child's.
Shen Wan was startled by the villain’s sudden action.
Just as she was about to pull it back, a cold object fell into her palm.
"This is for you." Xie Mubai smiled faintly and retracted his big hand.
Shen Wan looked down and saw an extremely delicate jade belt hook in her palm.
When the house was searched, Eunuch Huang dug three feet deep into the ground of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, but he missed Xie Mubai who was lying on the stretcher.
In fact, he didn't have much on him, only the jade belt hook on his belt was worth a few dollars.
What does this villain mean? Does he want her to help buy something?
Just as Shen Wan was about to ask, Xie Mubai straightened up and said calmly, "Eat quickly, don't keep the officials waiting too long."
Shen Wan didn’t understand what he meant, but she didn’t think much about it. After all, not everyone could understand the villain’s thoughts.
After dinner, she fed Xie Mubai some medicine, carried him to the cart, and then left with Hu Dahai and others.
Watching her gradually receding figure, Xie Mubai felt empty in his heart, as if he had lost something important. He didn't even hear the officer talking to him.
He was in a bad mood, but Shen Wan was very happy.
This was her first time attending the market since she came here.
Although this town is a bit poor, it has a lot of people and is very lively.
There are people selling sugar figurines, red bean cakes, and all kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Shen Wan first accompanied Hu Dahai to get some medicine, and then sold the herbs she brought with her.
The herbs on the roadside were not worth much money at all, so she quietly added some herbs from the space into the herb store, and actually made a small amount of money!
Shen Wan handed the medicine over and said with a smile: "This is the medicine on the prescription. Just take it on time from now on."
"Sister, please help me." Hu Dahai took the medicine and handed over a piece of paper and a few coins with a smile. "I don't know much about some women's things, so I'll have to trouble you to buy them for me."
"I need to buy some other things, so how about we just meet up at the pharmacy?"
Looking at his brilliant smiling face, Shen Wan seemed to understand something.
"Okay!" She took the purse and said goodbye to Hu Dahai with a smile.
Seeing her walk away, an officer looked at Hu Dahai with some concern: "Boss, what if this woman doesn't come back?"
Hu Dahai put away the smile on his face and his eyes became serious.
The officer suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out that the boss wanted to let this woman go!
"Then why not just bring Xie Mubai along?" He was a little puzzled.
Hu Dahai rolled his eyes at him and angrily scolded, "Have you forgotten his last name?"
The officer slapped his head and came to his senses.
This exile was caused by the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. If Xie Mubai, the main culprit, escapes, will they still be able to go back and report alive?
But Chen Wan is different. As a woman, she won't cause much trouble even if she runs away.
If the higher-ups want to investigate, you can just make up a reason and get away with it.
"Let's go." Hu Dahai turned around and said coldly, "Buy your things quickly and get on the road as soon as possible."
The officer laughed and said, "Why rush? It's still early."
"Why aren't you in a hurry?" Hu Dahai said angrily, "If we don't hurry, that woman will catch up with us!"
He could see that this ugly woman cared a lot about the prince of the Duke's Mansion.
If you don't get rid of her, she probably won't leave on her own initiative.
The journey of exile was too hard, not to mention that the prince was indifferent to her.
Leaving may be the best option for her.
After they finished shopping, they took a shortcut to catch up with the team.
Seeing Hu Dahai coming back, Xie Mubai subconsciously looked behind them.
Sure enough, there was no ugly woman.
Although he had guessed the result long ago, for some reason, his heart ached slightly.
But he doesn't regret it.
She couldn't cure his leg, and he couldn't protect her for the rest of her life, so that was good enough.
When the prisoners saw the officer coming back, they all came forward to take the things they had bought.
Sun bought some cloth and prepared to make some clothes to change into.
She doesn't know how to sew, so naturally the job falls to her sisters-in-law. After all, they can't eat her cake for free!
"Hey, where's Shen Wan?" She looked up, but didn't see the ugly woman. Her eyes lit up, "Did she run away?"
