Chapter 217 None of these people are easy to get along with
Mrs. Han finally breathed a sigh of relief when she sat down next to her son.
None of these people are easy to get along with.
Each one is full of calculations.
Thinking of the silver bills that she had not even warmed up yet, Madam Han hurriedly hid them carefully close to her body. These were the capital for her and her son to make a living in the future.
After hiding, he found that Han Qi next to him was smiling strangely.
And his hand kept touching his chest, and one part of his chest was obviously bulging out more than the rest, as if he was hiding something, and the shape...
Madam Han was shocked.
While she was desperately trying to plan for her silly son behind the scenes, he was digging a hole for himself in front of her.
No matter how many schemes you have, you can't stop a ghost who wants to die.
Madam Han's face twisted for a moment.
This stupid son!
How come you have suffered so much and still haven't learned your lesson?
Madam Han took advantage of his inattention and suddenly took out the things in his arms.
When she took it out and found that it was actually a small knife, Mrs. Han's hand trembled.
The knife nearly slipped from her hand.
She frantically gripped the knife to prevent it from falling to the ground.
Damn it.
How could he have such a deadly thing?
All exiles were not allowed to carry weapons, especially knives.
If the bailiffs knew about this, they would definitely give him a severe beating.
"Mom, give it back to me!" Han Qi was nervous. He snatched it back and held it in his arms like a treasure.
Madam Han came back to her senses and nervously reached out to grab his arm:
"Who gave you this damn thing?
What does he want you to do? Tell Mom!"
At this moment, Mrs. Han began to tremble.
She had already guessed who it was.
Just because she guessed it, she was afraid and hated!
Han Qi is the only legitimate son of his eldest son, yet he is so cruel as to push Han Qi out to die!
Not only did he give up on them and their child, but now he wants them to die!
Madam Han is so hateful!
I hate that old guy for being so cold and heartless.
She had originally felt a little guilty about selling his entire plan to Lin Mo, but this time, she didn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.
I just think he deserves to be deserted by everyone.
Han Qi, who didn't notice his mother's abnormality, lowered his voice with excitement:
"Mom, this was given to me by my grandfather.
I tell you, my grandfather said that as long as I complete the mission, he will focus on training me. He will use the power of the Han family to train me, and then I will definitely be able to return to the capital. Mother, I will let you live the good life you had before.
"What did he ask you to do?" Madam Han asked, suppressing her anger.
"I can't tell you." Han Qi shook his head. "Grandfather said no one can tell you."
"Did he ask you to kill Lin Mo?"
"mother!"
As soon as Madam Han finished speaking, Han Qi immediately covered her mouth with his hand excitedly and looked around nervously, "How did you know?"
"How should I know? Because he pushed you out there to die." Madam Han pulled down his hand and said angrily.
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Madam Han didn't waste any words and directly analyzed the pros and cons to him.
At the end, sneered:
"If he really wants to train you, then why doesn't he let Han Changqing, who is beside him, do it? Han Changqing has martial arts skills and is more likely to succeed. What about you?"
The more she spoke, the more hatred grew on Madam Han's face:
"I'm so weak that I'm afraid I'll be kicked away before I even get close.
He asked you to go because he wanted to use you as a pawn, sacrificing you to divert the Xu family's attention so he could make other plans."
Madam Han was so angry that her chest ached.
She finally understood why Lin Mo's eyes were so strange when he gave her the banknotes.
Because she knew that the old man had not told her the truth, and she probably guessed that the old man wanted to take advantage of her son, so she said that at that time.
What morning sneak attack? Bullshit, that’s not true at all.
I'm afraid...
Madam Han's expression instantly turned bad.
Han Qi's face suddenly turned pale with a hint of disbelief.
"he……"
Han Qi's mouth was full of bitterness, "Grandfather, is he really going to sacrifice me?"
"Can't you see it?" Madam Han gritted her teeth.
"Han Qi, you have your own eyes, you have to look carefully and don't be fooled.
You think your grandfather is a good guy?
If he hadn't wanted to plot against Xu Wuyan, your father and the others wouldn't have ended up like this.
He wants to kill his grandson too. Do you think he won't harm you just because you are his grandson?
Han Qi, he has many grandchildren, not just you. What's more, he has always looked down on you and thinks you are useless.
Everything he likes is right in front of him now!"
After saying that, Madam Han snatched the knife from his arms and walked into the darkness again.
When she came back, her hands were empty.
When she lay down, she stared at Han Qi seriously:
"Tonight, no matter what happens, you must stay close to me and don't leave me, understand."
…
Lin Mo had no idea what was happening on Madam Han's side.
After separating from her, she returned to their camp to rest, but while resting, she reminded Liu Ying and others not to sleep too deeply tonight.
Upon hearing this, the experienced Liu Ying didn't waste any words. She just stood up, found a wooden stick and placed it next to her.
Xu Xianyu and the others' eyes lit up, and they also took a wooden stick.
"Momo, with this wooden stick, don't worry, your mother will never hold you back." Liu Ying was full of confidence.
"That's right, sister-in-law, you can trust us." Xu Xianyu also nodded seriously.
…
Lin Mo pushed back her jaw which had dropped in shock.
Fortunately, it was dark now and the fire in the campfire was not very strong. The Han family was also some distance away from them and they could not see clearly.
Otherwise, the way they were moving the sticks back and forth might have alarmed people.
Lin Mo shook his head:
"You're too nervous. We'll take care of everything. Okay, go to sleep."
Liu Ying leaned against Lin Mo and reached out to gently pinch her waist:
"Don't treat us like three-year-old children. If anything goes wrong, we will shoulder it with you. We will try our best not to be a burden to you."
"That's right, sister-in-law." Xu Xianyu also said seriously:
"Don't worry, we will take care of ourselves."
…
Seeing that Xu Mengxian also wanted to speak, Lin Mo quickly spoke:
"Go to sleep, go to sleep quickly, and stop talking. If you continue talking, it will be dawn soon."
This time, no one spoke.
And Xu Mengxian was stunned!
I was the only one who remained silent!
My sister-in-law did it on purpose. She didn't give me a chance to express my opinion.
Woohoo…
The child is unhappy.
…
The night deepens.
As the chill set in, everyone slowly fell into a deep sleep. The heavy breathing and the sound of burning firewood became the main tone of the night.
I don’t know how long it took, but when the fire in the bonfire gradually died down, I suddenly heard Xiao Liuzi’s scream from the front.
"Get up, everyone, get up quickly."
"The refugees are coming to steal things, get up!"
…
Xiao Liuzi's sharp and piercing scream broke the silence of the night and woke everyone up from their dreams.
Some people who were awakened looked around in confusion:
"What happened?"
"It's still dark, why are you waking us up? It's so annoying, don't disturb my sleep."
…
Many people took a look at the sky and went back to sleep.
On the Xu family's side, when Xiao Liuzi's voice sounded, everyone immediately and quickly crawled out of their warm beds.
Then he picked up the wooden stick he had prepared last night and made a gesture ready to attack.
Just at this moment, the sound of charging shouts came from afar.
This time, the sleepiness in everyone was instantly scared away.
Everyone got up from the ground one by one:
"What...what happened? Is there going to be a war? Why did I hear the sound of 'charge'?"
"It's over, it seems like a lot of people have come!"
…
Everyone instinctively moved towards the escort.
When the refugees rushed over, they had already gathered together with Lao Wei and others.
Old Wei, along with a group of escorts, stood at the front of the crowd holding knives.
Looking at the refugees opposite him who were dressed in rags and were all skinny and pale from hunger, Lao Wei's face turned terribly dark.
When Xu Wuyan came to him and said that he was worried that refugees would come to rob them, he originally thought that Xu Wuyan was just talking nonsense.
I didn't expect it to be true.
These refugees really came to rob them.
Fortunately, he arranged for Xiao Liuzi to keep watch, and Xiao Liuzi's reminder prevented him from being caught off guard.
The refugees soon rushed to their opposite side.
Looking at the refugees holding various weapons, everyone's faces showed a hint of tension.
Old Wei's face was dark, and his eyes were sharp as he stared at the man standing in the front row opposite him:
"Are you the boss of these people?"
"Yes!" Guan Chao raised his eyebrows and shook the knife in his hand:
"We don't want to embarrass you, nor do we want to kill you. As long as you hand over all the valuables and food you have, we will turn around and leave immediately. We will not embarrass you at all."
"You took everything. How is this any different from taking their lives?" Old Wei snorted coldly.
"They are all prisoners who are going to be exiled to Mocheng. They have come all the way from the capital. Do you think they are rich?"
"Yes!" Guan Chao still had a smile on his face:
"Don't you see they're all dressed better than us? Their clothes are dirty, but they keep them warm. Look at ours; they're tattered and filled with willow catkins and straw.
It’s very good that we didn’t steal your clothes. Don’t be ungrateful.
If we took their clothes, they would all collapse in a few days."
Old Wei had a gloomy face and didn't say anything. It seemed that these people were not easy to deal with.
If we force a fight, both sides will suffer losses.
But if we agree to their demands, they may not survive to reach Mo City.
what to do?
Old Wei looked at Xu Wuyan, wondering if he had any way to solve the problem?
