Chapter 962: Being too clever
Jiang Wan could hide the truth from others, but not from Song Jiuyuan.
After all, she only had occasional morning sickness, which was not serious, but she hardly touched a bite of tonight's meal.
"Apart from putting some medicine to make you tired, there's really nothing else."
Jiang Wan spread her hands helplessly, "But the pills I gave you can offset the effects of the medicine.
If they want to do anything later, Muxiang and Ganze can handle it."
"Wanwan, did you notice something wrong?"
Song Jiuyuan had to admire his wife, as he could only see some clues.
Jiang Wan raised the corner of her mouth, "I did guess a little, but it's hard to say since it hasn't been verified yet."
"I'll take care of it."
Song Jiuyuan didn't want Jiang Wan to worry about it, but he didn't expect Jiang Wan to say, "The cat and mouse game is so fun, how can I be left out?"
Facing his worried eyes, Jiang Wan comforted him, "Don't worry, I know my limits and I won't hurt the child or myself.
You see, I didn’t eat any food just now because I was afraid of hurting the baby in my belly.”
"Okay then. I believe you."
Song Jiuyuan's tone was full of helplessness. At this time, the waiter brought hot water. He really had several jobs to do.
Seeing him, Song Jiuyuan and Jiang Wan pretended to be very tired. As soon as the waiter left, Jiang Wan took Song Jiuyuan to the space.
After washing up comfortably, it wasn't long before I returned to the house.
Song Jiuyuan poured out the water in the wooden barrel. The couple looked at each other, blew out the candle, lowered the mosquito net, and fell asleep in each other's arms.
After another hour or so, just when Jiang Wan was about to fall asleep, Song Jiuyuan gently pinched her waist.
This was a secret code that they had agreed upon beforehand. If anything happened, he would remind her like this.
Jiang Wan woke up instantly.
There was some kind of smoke floating in the door. It seemed that they were worried that the medicine was not effective enough, so they added another layer.
After a few breaths, the door of the room was pushed open and two footsteps were heard, apparently from the shopkeeper and the waiter.
Soon Jiang Wan noticed that the other party had lifted the mosquito net, and the shopkeeper's slightly malicious voice was heard.
"These two people don't take off their clothes when they sleep."
"Brother, don't talk about this for now. I'm itching to get my hands dirty. Send him to the kitchen first."
The waiter's voice was not as humble as before, but instead was full of malice.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but feel a chill.
She wanted to see what these people were going to do, so she let the two men put her in a sack and carry her away.
After a while, they were put into a claustrophobic space and the footsteps of the two people faded away.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan opened their eyes at the same time and found themselves in a very large kitchen.
The kitchen was lit by candlelight, and what made Jiang Wan's pupils shrink was the strange piece of meat hanging in the kitchen.
It tasted strange, and the knife on the chopping board was shining with some kind of light.
The two looked at each other, their hearts turned cold, and a bold guess emerged.
There were footsteps outside again, and Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan pretended to faint on the ground tacitly.
Soon there was the sound of someone being dragged in again. When the footsteps faded away, this time they looked into each other's eyes.
Ganze Song Si Jiang Wan Song Jiuyuan.
"Shh..."
Jiang Wan made a hushing gesture, and when Gan Ze saw the structure of the house clearly, his heart trembled.
Song Si was quite knowledgeable. After being slightly surprised, he fell silent.
Jiang Wan and Song Jiuyuan observed the entire room, silently noting down the placement of things.
When they heard footsteps again, they all pretended to faint.
The ones brought in this time were Muxiang and Grandma Yuan.
The shopkeeper cursed, "Why is this old woman so heavy? She's tiring me to death."
"Brother, this old woman is so ugly, old, and smells bad, it's better to throw her away."
The waiter's flattering voice made Jiang Wan feel a chill in her heart. Sure enough, she was right.
What the shopkeeper and the waiter did was not something that human beings should do.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper sneered, "As long as the seasoning is sufficient, they can taste anything.
Hurry up and get busy. The boss will come over to check the meat in person. We have a good harvest today."
There seemed to be some strange feeling in these words. When Jiang Wan was puzzled, Mu Xiang was thrown to her side.
Then came the sound of knife sharpening.
Jiang Wan could feel Mu Xiang trembling. She moved her fingertips slightly, and the medicine powder floated into the room through the air.
Bang, bang, bang…
The waiter was sharpening his knife, his eyes fierce, "Boss, there is a pregnant woman here.
I heard that the baby in the belly is the most tender, why not start with her?"
"Let's start with the old one first."
A flash of pity flashed across the shopkeeper's eyes, and he sighed heavily.
As they were talking, they suddenly felt their legs go a little weak, and the next second, the shopkeeper fell to the ground.
Xiao Er was startled, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Bang……
The next second, the waiter also fell to the ground, his eyes rolling around. The knife in his hand hit his foot, and he almost fainted from the pain.
Jiang Wan, Song Jiuyuan and the others woke up slowly and stared at the master and servant. Mu Xiang's face was full of anger.
"You damned creatures, you actually want to kill us!"
She was not stupid, so she naturally understood what the two said. A hint of fear appeared in the shopkeeper's eyes.
On the contrary, it was the waiter who stared at Jiang Wan and the others calmly, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"Who are you waiting for?"
Jiang Wan stared at the waiter with a half-smile, "I almost misjudged you. You are the boss, right? The shopkeepers all seem to listen to you."
When they came to this inn just now, the innkeeper was not joking, he was probably warning them.
Because the waiter was really dozing off at that time, and when he woke up, the shopkeeper warmly invited them to go upstairs to rest.
A big smile appeared on the waiter's humble face, "Yes, you are very smart.
But being too clever may backfire. I heard that children are the tastiest, so I’m in for a treat tonight.”
Puff...
The dagger fell on the waiter, and Song Jiuyuan's eyes were red. He hated it most when people talked about his wife and children.
What's more, this person wants to harm Wanwan.
So he must be in pain!
The waiter's eyes widened in horror, he didn't expect him to act so quickly. Didn't he want to ask the person behind this?
Jiang Wan was amused. "What are you looking for? Didn't you notice that we are missing someone?"
Song Si was gone when he woke up, so his so-called backup might not arrive in time.
The waiter widened his eyes upon seeing this and said unwillingly, "Whose people are you?"
"We are the kind of people who help those in need when we see injustice."
Jiang Wan twitched her lips speechlessly, "Let me guess, you and the inn across the street have the same owner."
The waiter's pupils shrank again. Not wanting to be tricked by Jiang Wan, he simply closed his eyes.
"One side is crowded, while the other side is calm and deserted. This side is perfect for catching the fish that have fallen into the net."
Jiang Wan curled her lips in sarcasm, "Are those who are alone killed by you like pigs?"
The waiter and the shopkeeper felt a chill in their hearts. They didn't expect Jiang Wan knew everything.
"vomit……"
Muxiang looked around the kitchen carefully and almost vomited when she saw the meat stored in the cabinet.
