There were also several engines and enough gasoline. When this strangely shaped "ship" appeared before everyone, they were all stunned.
"What...what kind of ship is this? Why does it look so strange?" Constable Zhang carefully touched the hull of the assault boat, looking incredulous.
"This is the 'divine ship,' capable of speeding across the sea," Shen Qingtang explained simply, then invited everyone to board.
The speedboat set off quickly. After about an hour's journey, a lush, green island came into view. The island was covered with tall coconut trees and many mango trees laden with fruit.
The officials and the exiled people disembarked, and looking at these unfamiliar fruits, none dared to try them. Head Constable Zhang warned, "Don't eat them! Who knows if these fruits are poisonous!"
Shen Qingtang didn't care at all. She walked to a coconut tree, skillfully cut off a coconut with the dagger she carried, opened it, took a sip of coconut juice, ate a piece of coconut meat, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, these fruits are all edible, and they taste very good."
As she spoke, she picked a few more mangoes, cut them into small pieces with a dagger, and gave them to Pei Nian'an and Pei Wuwang. Pei Nian'an took a bite and her eyes immediately lit up: "Auntie! This mango is so sweet! It's so delicious!"
Seeing this, the others also tried it. Sure enough, the coconut was sweet and delicious, and the mango was fragrant, sweet, and soft; everyone ate with great relish.
Lu Jiaojiao stood aside, watching this scene, her heart burning with jealousy. She kept muttering, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How does she know everything? These fruits must be poisonous. She must be trying to harm us on purpose!"
Standing beside Lu Jiaojiao, Lu's mother had a terribly gloomy expression.
Ever since that embarrassing incident at the inn, she had blamed all her resentment on Shen Qingtang. She felt that Shen Qingtang had ruined everything for her.
While everyone was busy eating fruit, Lu's mother quietly went around to Shen Qingtang's back.
He pulled out a dagger he had hidden in his pocket and stabbed it fiercely into Shen Qingtang's back!
"Watch out!" Pei Wuwang reacted quickly, shoving Shen Qingtang aside and kicking Lu's mother hard in the stomach.
"Ah!" Mother Lu screamed, her body flying out like a kite with a broken string, and falling into the sea with a "plop". She was already exhausted both physically and mentally from what had happened before, and then Pei Wuwang kicked her in a vital spot, so she quickly became still and sank to the bottom of the sea.
"Mother!" Uncle Lu was so frightened by what he saw that his legs went weak and he sat down on the ground.
Lu Jin also witnessed his mother being kicked into the sea. His eyes were bloodshot and he glared at Pei Wuwang, roaring, "I'm going to kill you!"
He charged at Pei Wuwang like a madman, swinging his fists as if trying to hit him.
Pei Wuwang merely glanced at him indifferently, and when he rushed in front of him, he gently raised a foot.
They kicked him away.
Lu Jin fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, and couldn't get up for a long time.
Pei Wuwang walked up to him, looking down at him with an icy tone: "Dare to be insolent again, and you will die."
Looking into Pei Wuwang's cold eyes, Lu Jin was filled with fear and dared not say another word.
Shen Qingtang walked to Pei Wuwang's side and gently patted his shoulder.
He was signaling not to be angry.
She looked at Lu Mu sinking into the sea, her heart unmoved.
This is what Lu's mother deserved.
