Chapter 118: Camping in the Wild
As expected, Shen Xiangping's death was left unresolved. In order to avoid further delaying the trip, Zhao Shan did not say that he suspected that the Shen family had killed Shen Xiangping. Around 9:00 p.m., the two exile teams set off again. Pingzhou was connected to Taizhou, and had suffered some disasters to a certain extent. In addition, the victims of Taizhou had fled here, and there were countless victims in Pingzhou.
“Bang!”
"ah···"
"Everyone, hurry up and leave!"
No banknotes were found on the Shen family, and Shen Xiangping was dead, so there was no evidence. Zhao Shan had to give up even if he had doubts. But he was the escort, so it was easy for him to make them suffer. So he sent two people to keep an eye on the Shen family. If they were the slightest bit lazy, they would be whipped. In just one day, they were miserable.
"Master, what should I do?"
Staggering closer to Shen Yishan, Jiang asked with sobs, holding her torn clothes.
"How should I know?"
If he knew what to do, he wouldn't have been beaten.
Shen Yishan raised his eyes to look at the front of the team, his sight unconsciously locked on the large donkey cart. If, if Wanwan was willing to help, perhaps the leader would not dare to bully them so blatantly.
Jiang was still sobbing and wiping away tears, and didn't notice his gaze at all. However, Shen Xiangyue, who was following behind them, saw it, and she also had the same expectation in her heart. However, the one she was expecting was not Shen Xiangwan, but Wei Chengyi. Until now, she was still confident that as long as she explained everything clearly to Wei Chengyi, he would still be her husband and would take care of her as he did Shen Xiangwan.
I have to say, in this aspect alone, Shen Xiangyue is undoubtedly quite powerful.
They had already wasted too much time before, and they must make up for the lost time. When they passed the next county town, the two officers did not take them into the city, but asked them to continue walking. It was not until it was completely dark that they found a vacant lot in the wilderness to settle down.
"Chenghe, sprinkle some medicine powder around to prevent snakes, insects, rats and ants from coming out."
Deliberately parking the donkey cart next to Zhao Shan and his ox cart, Shen Xiangwan took out a bottle of medicine powder and handed it to Wei Chenghe. He glanced at Chen Jianghai not far away without leaving a trace. He had lived long enough, and this place would become his burial place.
"good."
Taking the medicine powder, Wei Chenghe carefully sprinkled it around. Without Shen Xiangwan's instructions, Wei Linger took the initiative to move the pot from the car and prepared to make their dinner.
"Second Master, shall we go hunt some game?"
Their only dry food was sesame cakes, so Qingying took the initiative to step forward and ask for instructions.
"Um."
Wei Chengyi did not object. His mother and the others were fine. Even after being exiled, they did not lose much weight. But Wanwan was so thin that she was just skin and bones. She really needed to eat more meat to replenish her body.
After getting his approval, Qingying took two guards and went into the woods, while the remaining guards scattered around them to prevent any sudden accidents.
"Wanwan, just look after Anger, and we'll do it."
Pulling Shen Xiangwan, who was about to cook together, Zhao Yuping handed the cub to her.
"All right."
Shen Xiangwan didn't argue with her, and sat down next to Wei Chengyi with the little cub: "What are you looking at?"
Following his gaze, she saw Shen Yishan looking at them eagerly. Shen Xiangwan couldn't help but curl her lips and looked away without thinking.
"He seems to want to find you again."
Retracting his gaze, Wei Chengyi said lightly.
"When did he stop wanting to see me?"
Rolling her eyes in annoyance, Shen Xiangwan took out a candy, tore off the packaging and stuffed it into the little cub's mouth: "Ang'er, sit here obediently, and auntie will make milk for you when the water boils."
"Okay, thank you, auntie."
Responding obediently, the little cub took out the panda stuffed animal she had given him and started playing with it happily by himself.
Rubbing his head lovingly, Shen Xiangwan leaned her head on Wei Chengyi's shoulder and said, "Send him off tonight to avoid any more trouble."
"good."
Nodding, Wei Chengyi didn't ask anything, but just used a stick to poke the fire lit by the guards.
Shen Xiangwan did not continue to speak. She leaned on his shoulder and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she seemed to fall asleep. Wei Chengyi quietly winked at the little cub, picked her up horizontally, and prepared to let her sleep in the carriage. However, Shen Xiangwan, who should have fallen asleep, raised her hand and hooked his neck, closed her eyes and murmured, "Just let me lean on you and rest for a while."
"Um."
Hearing this, Wei Chengyi hugged her and sat down again. Shen Xiangwan simply threw herself over and lay on his legs, closing her eyes and continuing to take a nap.
Looking down at her thin cheeks, Wei Chengyi felt a surge of pity in his heart. His bony fingers gently traced the contours of her face, then lifted up her scattered hair and gently tucked it behind her ears. He didn't even notice that at this moment, his expression was full of affection and doting.
"Brother Yi and Wanwan have a really good relationship."
Mu Yunran, who saw this scene not far away, smiled and said that she and her husband had a good relationship, but she had never seen her husband show that kind of expression to her.
"Yeah, seeing them like this, I feel relieved."
Looking up at them, Zhao Yuping also smiled. It was undoubtedly a blessing for her son to marry such a good daughter-in-law Wanwan. God had been kind to their Wei family.
Soon, Qingying and his companions brought back five pheasants and three hares. Everyone who saw this scene, including the escort, could not help swallowing their saliva. Some people also followed their example and went into the woods. Unfortunately, when they came out, they came out empty-handed. Not to mention pheasants and hares, they didn't even catch a hair.
Considering that the two officers were still taking care of them, Shen Xiangwan asked Wei Chenghe to send them a pheasant and a rabbit respectively, and the rest were all braised. The rich aroma of the meat made everyone swallow their saliva continuously, and they watched them feast on it eagerly.
"Unfilial daughter."
With a fierce glare at Shen Xiangwan, Jiang rubbed her stomach and cursed inwardly. Now each of them only had two steamed buns a day, and even if she robbed those illegitimate sons and daughters, they still couldn't eat enough, not to mention that she was beaten all the way today. Now she was tired, in pain and hungry, but her own daughter was eating meat with big mouthfuls. How could she not feel resentful?
"That's enough."
Shen Yishan on the side suddenly shouted angrily: “If you hadn’t favored your adopted daughter and completely ignored your biological daughter, how could she resent us?”
He was always thinking about how to repair the relationship between father and daughter and coax Shen Xiangwan, but she was still making trouble here, which was so stupid!
"Master, what are you talking about? Don't you love Yue'er more? Besides, Yue'er was raised by us personally. She is like our own daughter. What's wrong with me loving her a little more?"
If it were any other time, Jiang would have endured it, but today she didn't want to endure it anymore. Besides, which daughter would resent her parents? In her opinion, Shen Xiangwan was rotten to the core and was not worthy of being their daughter.
"You, you, you..."
Shen Yishan was so angry that he fell backwards. He pointed at her with a trembling finger and kept asking her for a long time without any clue as to what was going on.
As the protagonist of the topic, Shen Xiangyue's mind was full of how to contact Wei Chengyi privately, and she didn't want to pay attention to them at all. The Shen Xiangdong brothers were also one gloomy and the other impatient. They felt pain all over their bodies and had no energy to stop their parents from quarreling.
