Chapter 73 I Know You Won’t Come to Rescue
The anesthetic in the arm wore off, and the stinging pain woke Feng Aoqing up.
Mo Beiyuan was seen sitting by the cave, with Xingbao and Yuebao sitting on his knees, one on each side. They were obediently communicating with their eyes, for fear of waking up their mother.
As soon as Feng Aoqing opened her eyes, the two men rushed over.
As soon as he jumped out, he was carried back by Mo Beiyuan.
"I was just saying that my mother's hand is injured. Don't bump into it."
They nodded and slowly inched their way over to their mother.
"Have you had breakfast?" Feng Aoqing asked.
"No." The two shook their heads.
Feng Aoqing saw that there were only four people in the house, so she took out some meat buns from her space and gave one to each of them.
When the two babies saw that their mother was fine, they started eating with relish.
"Are you full?" Feng Aoqing rubbed the two babies' faces.
The two babies nodded.
"A jackal came yesterday. Were you scared?"
The two treasures shook their heads again: "Don't be afraid, we have medicine given by mother!"
"Well, that's great. It's okay to be afraid. Being afraid won't affect our strength and courage. We should always think about saving ourselves and not rely on others." Feng Aoqing kissed the two babies.
They ran off to play.
The last bite of the bun got stuck in Mo Beiyuan's throat, almost choking him to death.
"Ao Qing, I rushed back yesterday after seeing the letter you sent, and you came back right after me."
"I know. You didn't go to see where the mountain collapsed. Second Brother accidentally told you that the mountain shouldn't collapse, so you knew someone was behind it. You need to make sure that what you hid is safe first."
"Ao Qing, I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid that you would be in danger if you knew too much."
"I just need to know what you want me to know, right? Even I thought of the danger in an instant, but you, who have experienced many battles, didn't you think of it?"
"I thought..."
"I don't know what you're going to do, nor do I know who you're doing it for, but no matter who it is, no matter what it is, it's definitely more important than the Mo family, more important than your two children."
Mo Beiyuan couldn't answer her question.
"I'm different. I just want Mo Xingchen and Mo Yueyao to reach Frost Sky Valley safely. To achieve this, I will spare no expense. Just like I killed forty-three people with my own hands, knowing that you wouldn't be able to save them in time. If necessary, I can kill four hundred, four thousand, or even forty thousand."
Mo Beiyuan stood there in a daze.
He thought that even if there were assassins trying to kill him, they would only send a few, and since there were many experts in his team, they should be able to handle it. He didn't expect there would be dozens of them, and he couldn't help but gasp.
Yesterday...if she didn't have some skills, how could she have defeated these dozens of people?
"I will be more careful and make a more effective poison. This batch is so stupid, the next batch should be more powerful than this one." Feng Aoqing said gritting her teeth.
"Ao Qing!"
"Master Mo, just do your job. I don't need you."
"No, no, I was careless this time. Next time I..." Mo Beiyuan stretched out his hand to embrace her.
Feng Aoqing pushed his hand away and said sternly, "You should know that I am not the original Feng Aoqing, so I am not your wife. Please respect yourself."
Mo Beiyuan was practically going crazy: "If you're not her, why did you follow us into exile? You could just leave! Why do you still care about her two children?"
Feng Aoqing's eyes looked like deep pools as she looked at him.
She gritted her teeth and roared, "Because they called me mother!"
She left the hollow and walked into the rain.
The rain has subsided.
Mo Nanzhou was setting up a trap at the bottom of the bamboo forest.
Feng Aoqing and Han Lang came down from there yesterday. Since they can come down, others can too.
Jiang Yi sent Yu Bang to check the situation at both ends of the official road.
A long section of the official road back to Huping City was washed away by the flood in the stream, and the road was completely invisible at the place where the mountain collapsed in front, as if the original road passed through the mountain.
Jiang Yi and Mo Beiyuan discussed that even if rescue came, the road would be blocked for the time being and they might still have to cross the mountain in the end.
If you want to walk, the most important issue is food.
While they were discussing, they heard shouting outside the cave.
When the two walked out, they saw Han Lang butchering the jackal they had killed yesterday.
"Sir Han, is this edible?" Yu Tiannan was chosen to help, and he was a little worried, so he asked Han Lang.
"Why can't we eat it? When we are extremely hungry, even people can eat it, let alone animals!" Han Lang sneered.
When he looked up and saw Feng Aoqing, he added, "I was just kidding."
Feng Aoqing leaned forward to take a look and said, "Take the meat and wash it repeatedly to remove the blood. Rub it with sunflower leaves to sterilize it. Then boil it thoroughly with water and finally dry it."
"I think so too. It's hard to carry something new." Han Lang smiled.
"Thank you for doing such rough work, Lord Han." Feng Aoqing bowed lightly to him and returned to his little valley to rest.
Han Lang killed two, and the others watched for a while, then Yu Tiannan and the others took over.
He walked to the stream flowing down from the stone mountain to wash his hands, and was stopped by Mo Beiyuan when he returned to the cave.
The two work for the same boss. Although they don't get along, they have known each other for more than ten years and have some tacit understanding.
Han Lang followed him to the side of the mountain away from the crowd.
"My wife was yesterday... when you arrive..." He tried to organize his words for a long time but still couldn't come up with a clear answer.
Han Lang knew what he was asking, so he told him about her situation at that time.
"After all, she's a woman, and it's her first time killing people, and she's killed so many at once. Although she looks fine now, I'm afraid she's still frightened."
Han Lang originally wanted to tell him about how she fainted and how he carried her back, but he was afraid that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he omitted it and just said that he was frightened.
"As for you, you should have discovered their traces when you left yesterday, but why didn't you track them down with your ability?" There was a barely perceptible disdain at the corner of Han Lang's mouth.
"I haven't done these things for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty." Mo Beiyuan said lightly.
"Then you have to be careful. If you fail this time, there will definitely be a next time. Don't let your family get involved again." Han Lang's disdain deepened.
"Don't bother with me. I can protect my people myself."
Han Lang nodded and strode away.
Feng Aoqing was catching up on her sleep in the small valley where she slept last night.
Maybe because they were afraid of being disturbed, they set up a rack in front of the cave and hung cloth on it to block it tightly.
Fortunately, the temperature in the mountains is much lower than outside, and it is raining, so it is not hot.
Mo Beiyuan could see this side while sitting at the entrance of the cave.
She hasn't been out for a single day.
There were quite a few people visiting. They all popped their heads in, said a few words, and then left.
Mo Shuyuan in the room was beaten and scolded yesterday and was almost crazy.
Just now, someone mentioned Feng Aoqing's heroic deeds and how she killed all those men in black.
In the eyes of others, it was a heroic feat, but in the eyes of Mo Shuyuan, it was not. She just huddled in Qin Mu's arms and murmured, "It's terrible, it's terrible, she is really terrible."
"Mo Shuyuan! I think you didn't hit her enough!" Mo Minglei stepped forward, dragged her out of Qin Mu's arms, and threw her to the ground.
"She killed people! Killed people! She'll be haunted by the ghosts! If she were with us, we'd be haunted too! It's horrible!"
"Are you talking about me? I hold more than a few dozen lives in my hands." Mo Beiyuan stared at his sister.
"Hmph, that's right. I have a lot of things in my hands, so how come I don't see any injustice...sister-in-law!" Mo Mingyuan stopped talking halfway.
Mo Beiyuan turned around and saw Feng Aoqing at the cave entrance.
