The doubts in my heart deepened. Just how many secrets was this woman hiding? The people of the Northern Desert either died from bombs or gunfire.
Some were so frightened they fled into the depths of the mountains, while others were terrified and ran away. Shen Qingtang watched the scattered figures.
She didn't order a pursuit. She understood the principle of not pursuing a defeated enemy better than anyone; saving Pei Nian'an's life was the most important thing right now.
The people in the exile procession finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the surviving civilians and conscientious officials gathered around.
He repeatedly thanked Shen Qingtang, saying, "Miss Shen, we were able to survive thanks to you!"
"You are truly our savior!"
Just then, Lu Jiaojiao, who was tied to the ground, suddenly struggled and roared, "Shen Qingtang! Why didn't you show me something so powerful sooner?! You made me get beaten by the Northern Desert people and suffer so much, you did it on purpose!"
Her eyes were filled with resentment, as if all the suffering she had endured was Shen Qingtang's fault.
Shen Qingtang turned her head coldly, walked over, raised her hand and slapped him again. The crisp sound made the surroundings instantly quiet: "You don't deserve it."
Her voice was devoid of any warmth. "You were the one who betrayed us by following the Northern Desert people. You wanted me to die. Now you have the nerve to blame me for not saving you?"
Lu Jiaojiao's cheeks were swollen and red from the beating, but she still wanted to argue back. However, she was frightened by Shen Qingtang's cold gaze and shrank back, no longer daring to make a sound.
After dealing with Lu Jiaojiao.
Shen Qingtang immediately turned and rushed to Pei Nian'an's side. The little guy had just caught his breath when he coughed up another mouthful of blood, his face as white as paper.
Shen Qingtang's heart clenched instantly. She quickly picked him up, her eyes reddening and tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
It felt like her heart was being squeezed tightly by a hand, and the pain made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"Nian'an, don't be afraid, Auntie is here, Auntie will definitely heal you."
Her voice trembled as she carefully lifted Pei Nian'an onto the laid-out hay, her movements as gentle as if she were protecting a fragile treasure.
The Shen family members stood around, watching this scene with mixed feelings; they could see it all.
Pei Nian'an revealed his location just now in order to help Shen Qingtang shoot the deputy leader of the Northern Desert.
This child is kind and loyal, a hundred times better than that ungrateful Lu Jiaojiao.
With tears in her eyes, Shen's mother helped Shen Qingtang arrange the herbs.
Shen Minglan then took the initiative to gather firewood, and Old Master Shen sighed, "Good child, I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Shen Qingtang took out herbs for stopping bleeding and replenishing qi and blood from her space and quickly boiled them into a medicinal decoction. She then remembered the pheasant she had hunted earlier and asked Shen Mingzhao to help clean it, while she set up a pot on the side.
First, stir-fry the pheasant until it becomes fragrant.
Add water and simmer slowly, and the rich aroma of chicken soup will soon waft out.
They also cooked the rabbits they had caught earlier into stir-fried rabbit meat, all to nourish Pei Nian'an's body.
Qin Xian stood aside, looking at Lu Jiaojiao who was tied to the ground and still showed no remorse, and couldn't help but curse again: "You beast! Nian'an was injured while saving everyone, and you're here complaining. I should have let the Northern Desert people take you away in the first place!"
Lu Jin and his mother couldn't listen to this anymore.
Lu Jin roared at Shen Qingtang, "Shen Qingtang! No matter what Jiaojiao did wrong, she's still your daughter! You should have saved her with something long ago, but now you're hitting her! Don't you have a heart?!"
Chen Yulan also started crying, "Jiaojiao, how could I have such a heartless mother..."
Shen Qingtang went up and slapped each of them hard across the face.
Several people: ...
