Chapter 26 Admit Mistake
Everyone agreed with Xie Murong's words.
If the ugly woman wanted to harm them, she wouldn't have to use her own mung beans to make porridge during the day, let alone go all over the mountains to find medicine to treat their illnesses.
Although the ruined temple was temporarily safe, the fugitives were still worried.
After Shen Wan simply bandaged the wounds of several injured people, everyone just sat there staring at each other all night.
The next morning, Hu Dahai took a group of fugitives to the scene to check.
The weeds on both sides of the road had long since been burned to ashes, and even the soil had turned charred black.
Soon, the officers found two bodies at the scene.
One was the woman's man, and the other was the woman whose tendons were cut that day.
She had a foot injury and couldn't run, and her family didn't care, so it was normal for something to happen to her.
Hu Dahai ordered his men to hastily bury the two bodies, and then made a simple mark in the book before continuing on his way.
It seems that they will have to continue setting out under the scorching sun.
Although it is a hot spot, at least there are no wolves.
"Did you think the wolves were a little strange last night?" Shen Wan pushed the cart and looked at Xie Mubai with some confusion.
Scarface said that he had never encountered a pack of wolves in all the years he had walked on this road, but why did they suddenly appear last night?
When Xie Mubai heard this, a complicated look flashed across his eyes.
He hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Someone released this wolf on purpose."
Shen Wan was shocked: "How do you know?"
"Because there are traces of carriages on the roadside." Xie Mubai smiled coldly, his dark eyes flashing with a sharp cold light. "Although those people have cleaned up the traces, they still missed some."
"This road is extremely remote. Apart from exiles, few people would normally walk here."
Shen Wan couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.
The book's description of exile was extremely brief, just a few cursory sentences, and she had no idea so much had happened.
It is undoubtedly a miracle that the original owner and the villain were able to reach the Northwest alive.
"Then... they will continue to attack, right?" Shen Wan looked uneasy.
Seeing the fear in her eyes, Xie Mubai's heart tightened slightly.
"That's right." He smiled bitterly and said sarcastically, "As long as I don't die, they won't give up."
"But they are too cautious. Now that I'm a cripple, they're still worried."
Shen Wan looked at him worriedly: "You must have a way, right?"
She is not afraid of death, but she does not want to die, and she does not want to die inexplicably.
"Not sure." Xie Mubai looked at the dark little face in front of him and said thoughtfully, "But if this fails, the spies hidden among us will definitely continue to take action."
"If you're scared, I can give you a divorce letter."
This ugly woman has done a lot along the way.
No matter how many mistakes she had made before, he would not care about them anymore.
After all, who could blame someone who truly loves themselves?
"Who are you looking down on? Why would I be afraid?" Shen Wan stiffened her neck and said smugly, "You saw how majestic I was last night!"
"There were three wolves, and I killed them all!"
Xie Mubai asked calmly, "Are you sure you don't want to leave?"
"Why are you leaving?" Shen Wan asked, "If you leave, can you find me another man as handsome as this?"
Xie Mubai's face darkened.
This ugly girl, does she just like his face?
If she meets a man who is more handsome than him, she will leave?
"You better be careful these days." He returned to his usual indifferent demeanor. "If something like last night happens again, you must leave first!"
He is not a good person, but he doesn't want to owe others anything.
"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Shen Wan smiled mischievously, "If we encounter danger again, I promise to be the first to run away. Is that okay?"
At this time, Xie Murong walked to the front of the car with red eyes.
"Fifth brother, Fifth sister-in-law, I was wrong." She knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily. "I was blind before and mistook good people for villains."
In order to survive, she used to only care about pleasing Aunt Zhou and Sun, and was too heartless to the couple.
But at the critical moment, it was the ugly woman whom she hated the most who saved her life!
Xie Murong raised his head slowly with tears in his eyes, blood rolling down his smooth forehead.
Shen Wan didn't say anything, but just turned to look at Xie Mubai.
This is his sister, and it is up to him to decide whether to forgive her.
"Murong, have you ever heard this?" Xie Mubai said coldly, "Not all mistakes can be forgiven."
Xie Murong nodded: "I didn't expect Fifth Brother and Fifth Sister-in-law to forgive me. After all, what I did before was really too much."
"But no matter what, I still have to say these words.
"It's good that you know." Xie Mubai no longer looked at her, "Chen Wan, let's go."
The implication is that he does not forgive.
Xie Murong didn't insist any more, just kowtowed again before leaving.
"She seems to really know she's wrong." Shen Wan asked in confusion, "Didn't you love her the most before? Why didn't you forgive her?"
Xie Mubai closed his eyes and said calmly, "I didn't say I won't forgive her, but I won't treat her the same way as before."
Some injuries cannot be erased with just a few words. He is not a saint and cannot pretend that nothing happened.
"I thought you suspected she was the spy." Shen Wan smiled cunningly.
Xie Mubai disagreed.
It's not that he looks down on this half-sister, but with her IQ, she is still far from being able to be a spy.
But who is that spy?
Not only was that person very familiar with the route, he could also easily transmit information right under everyone's noses, which was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.
There was still no village ahead, so at noon, the group rested and had their meal in an open space.
It was very hot and no one had much appetite.
Knowing that Shen Wan wanted to roast wolf meat, Scarface asked the women of the Xie family to collect some dry firewood, and Hu Dahai took the initiative to step forward to peel the wolf.
Shen Wan chopped the meat into pieces, took out the seasoning from the space and marinated it for a while before starting to grill it.
Anyway, she bought a lot of things at the market, and no one had any doubts about the source of the seasoning.
Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out.
Although the convicts were still frightened, they were still a little greedy when they smelled the tempting aroma.
However, they knew clearly that they would not get any of the meat, and that it would definitely be eaten by the ugly woman and the officials.
The meat was grilled, and Shen Wan took some for Xie Mubai and gave a few skewers to the big girl.
"Thank you, sister." The girl didn't take it, but said in a baby voice, "That uncle is injured, you should give it to him."
After hearing this, Xie Mubai's face immediately darkened.
Is he really that old?
I call that ugly girl sister, but when she comes to me, she becomes uncle?
That’s right, she is only sixteen years old, the age of a flower bud.
I am already 25 years old, and the age gap between us seems a bit too big.
"Call me brother." Big Girl's mother noticed something strange about Xie Mubai and reminded him in a low voice.
But the older girl put on a stern face and said seriously, "It's my uncle!"
"He's obviously about the same age as my uncle, so calling him brother is inappropriate."
Xie Mubai couldn't help but be speechless.
In order to protect his widowed sister-in-law and niece, Wang Qi's arm was also injured.
Seeing someone looking so depressed, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Whether you are my brother or my uncle, please accept this meat." He thought for a moment and said.
It is true that he is aloof, but compared with the body of the big girl, those false reputations are nothing.
After hearing this, the girl accepted the meat.
Watching them eating barbecue, Sun and others were so angry that their teeth were almost broken.
"Chen Wan, this wolf meat isn't just for you. There's no reason for you to eat it all by yourself, right?" She rolled her eyes and said maliciously, "Everyone was there at the time. We should have had a share of the meat too!"
