Chapter 40: Playing Tricks
Shen Wan didn't think much about it. After Scarface walked away, she pushed the car and continued on the road.
Although the residual poison has been controlled, the bodies of the prisoners are still very weak.
Looking at the exhausted prisoners, Hu Dahai frowned so hard that he could almost pinch a mosquito to death.
As expected, they failed to reach the village ahead as scheduled when the sun set and had to camp in the wild.
Wang Qi and Da Niuniang picked up some dry branches and started a fire on the roadside.
The weather was so hot that no one had a good appetite.
Shen Wan steamed brown rice and cut a plate of cooked wolf meat.
It was inconvenient to throw the dead wolf into the space, so she borrowed the kitchen to braise it at the inn.
This makes it easy to carry and store.
Seeing some purslane on the roadside, she picked some, blanched it, and simply mixed it with salt and sesame oil before serving it to Xie Mubai and others.
"Is this really edible?" Looking at the juicy green wild vegetables, Da Niuniang asked uncertainly.
Although she was not a lady from a prominent family, she was the daughter of an official family.
Not to mention eating it, she had never seen this kind of wild vegetable before.
"Of course." Shen Wan smiled, "This wild vegetable is not only edible, but also has the effect of removing moisture. It is perfect to eat it in the summer."
I have to say that Aunt Zhou has a pretty good ear.
Upon hearing this, she immediately asked Zhao and Li to go and pull out some as well.
They didn't have sesame oil, so they got some lard from Scarface and mixed it together.
Aunt Zhou took a bite and spat it out.
"Is this for the sheep?" She frowned, looking disgusted.
This wild vegetable is sour and astringent, with a distinct smell of grass. It seems that the ugly woman's cooking skills are not very good.
Xie Mubai also took a bite.
His big white hands stiffened slightly, and his eyes immediately fell on Shen Wan's sweaty face.
The taste of this sesame oil is very special, unique to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
Not to mention the countryside, you can’t even find a bottle with the same taste in the palace.
At this moment, he was absolutely certain that this ugly woman had brought something out of the Duke's Mansion.
This should also include the wild fruits from before.
But how much did she take with her, and where did she hide it?
Suddenly remembering her sudden disappearance that night, Xie Mubai felt that things were becoming more and more interesting.
His eyes flickered, and he was deeply interested in the little woman in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Shen Wan felt a little uneasy when being stared at by the villain, and asked uncertainly, "Is it not to your liking?"
Xie Mubai shook his head calmly and did not ask any further questions.
He knew clearly that she would not tell him even if he asked her.
"Young Madam, you're really smart." Wang Qi also took a bite and said with a smile, "To be honest, I didn't know these wild vegetables were so delicious before."
tasty?
Aunt Zhou and others were completely confused.
Look at the food in their bowls and then look at your own, they are clearly the same.
There is no reason why what I made should look like weeds while that ugly woman made it into a delicacy.
Yes, that Wang Qi must be flattering!
Thinking of this, she felt much better.
After dinner, the prisoners began to occupy their territory and sleep.
There was no good place in the wild mountains and wilderness. It was already good enough to have an old tree to lean against. Soon, people started quarreling over the territory.
The mother of the lecher was already angry with the Sun family, and now both families had their eyes on the same old tree, so they started fighting.
The women of the Xie family were already frail and weak, so how could they be their match?
If Scarface hadn't stepped in to stop them, Sun and the others probably wouldn't have seen the sun tomorrow.
Seeing this, Da Niu's mother quickly took Da Niu out of the car.
It’s getting late, it will be too late if we don’t occupy some land now.
"Here's one for you." Seeing this, Shen Wan pulled out a thin blanket from her luggage and handed it over. "It's cold in the middle of the night, don't let the child get cold."
She can choose not to sleep in the car, but the villain can't.
Although his leg injury has improved, it will become a chronic disease if he doesn't take good care of it.
When Da Niuniang took the quilt, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Although this quilt is not expensive, it is more cost-effective than silver during the exile.
It doesn't seem surprising that my brother-in-law would fall for such a good woman.
After settling the Wang family, Shen Wan was about to have a few words with the villain, but she found that he had fallen asleep.
The moonlight softly fell on his angular face, which was so beautiful that it seemed unearthly, and suddenly gave her an urge to commit a crime.
"Alas, it's a pity that you can only look but not touch!"
Shen Wan sighed somewhat disappointedly before climbing into the car.
It was too hot, and she didn't lower the oilcloth rolled up to one side.
Just as she lay down, she saw the villain suddenly turn over and hold her in his arms.
Shen Wan was caught off guard, and a dark face hit his chest directly, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.
No way, could it be that the villain was awake and heard her vicious words?
Just as she was about to explain, she saw that he just hugged her tightly and did not take the next step.
In doubt, Shen Wan carefully raised her head, but her lips accidentally touched something soft.
Looking at someone's sexy thin lips, she trembled with nervousness.
I swear to God, she really didn't mean it!
It's true that she likes to look at handsome men, but she has never thought of molesting him!
Fortunately, the villain didn't wake up. If he did, she really wouldn't know how to explain it.
Xie Mubai seemed to be disturbed, and after letting go of his hand, he turned over again.
Just as he turned over, he suddenly opened his eyes.
No, she had nothing on her, not even the jade belt hook he had given her.
Where on earth did she hide it?
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the sound of even breathing.
Turning around, he saw that the ugly woman had fallen asleep.
Looking at her bright red lips, Xie Mubai's face flushed slightly.
It turns out that she is so sweet!
He didn't dare to look any further and turned around hastily...
In the middle of the night, Shen Wan was woken up by someone.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a strange woman standing in front of him: "Madam, my son just went to the woods in front to pee, but he accidentally fell and got hurt."
"I don't dare to move him, for fear of hurting his bones. Could you please go over and take a look?"
Although she was not familiar with the woman, Shen Wan hurriedly got out of the car when she heard that the child was injured.
The woods were dark and silent. A few rays of pale moonlight filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
After walking for a while, the woman suddenly disappeared.
Shen Wan’s heart tightened.
Oh no, I’ve fallen into a trap!
As she turned around, she saw a flash of cold light.
"Bitch, how dare you run away!" The scarred man's eyes were filled with bloodshot, and he looked as hideous and terrifying as Yama in the dark night.
Before he could finish his words, the long knife in his hand chopped down in front of him.
Looking at the long sword flashing with a cold light, the poison that Shen Wan had suppressed for a long time gushed out from the depths of her blood.
It turns out that he designed all this!
She moved slightly and grabbed Scarface's wrist with her right hand.
Before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground and the long sword in his hand flew out.
Just as he was about to get up, Shen Wan kicked him directly in the ribs.
Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking, Scarface's shrill screams reached the sky.
Hearing the noise, Hu Dahai was awakened and came with a large group of people to check.
As soon as he saw him, Scarface seemed to have seen a savior and immediately shouted, "Boss, this ugly girl tried to escape, but I found her and beat me up!"
"You dare to lie!" Shen Wan's eyes were red and she slapped him.
Scarface's whole body trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Qi's eyes tightened.
He stepped forward and hugged Shen Wan, saying coldly: "Don't be impulsive, tell the official what happened."
At this time, Shen Wan had already lost her mind.
She pushed Wang Qi away and pointed at Scarface's nose, cursing, "Don't think I don't know anything. Just because I didn't push your lover's son away, you're going to frame me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao, who had come to watch the fun, was so frightened that she quickly retracted her head.
She had instigated Scarface to teach the ugly girl a lesson, but she hadn't expected that this guy was so useless that he could be beaten like this by a woman!
"Sister, calm down." Hu Dahai frowned slightly. "Let's go back first. I will definitely investigate what happened today."
He didn't believe that the ugly woman would run away, but Scarface had been with him for many years and they had a life-and-death friendship, which made it very difficult for him.
No matter who gets hurt, it's not what he wants to see.
Shen Wan sneered: “Okay, I’ll give you this face today.”
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, no one will have a good life in the future!"
If Hu Dahai dares to show favoritism, she doesn't mind falling out with him.
As long as she has huge wealth, she is not afraid even without this umbrella of protection.
