Chapter 63: Damselfly
Ruan Mian had also thought about this. Perhaps the original book had not yet reached a plot turning point, so these important supporting characters could not just die.
Unless...it's their time to die.
But if you can't die, then torturing yourself is not bad either.
Qi Nanfeng already held a grudge, and as he retreated, he said stubbornly, "I can only tell you that you, the Ruan family, won't live long."
He raised the corner of his lips and pretended to be mysterious: "Even if you, Ruan Mian, are so capable, can you protect so many people by then? It's a fantasy! You've even fallen into a difficult situation yourself, and you still want to help me? I think...ah...Ruan Mian..."
Before he could finish his words, Ruan Mian kicked him down the slope!
Qi Nanfeng suddenly rolled down the long slope, and miserable sounds were heard repeatedly.
Ruan Mian stood up without looking back, staring coldly at the disappearing figure with a gloomy look.
You can't get anything out of him, but he's not very smart and always reveals something.
Ahead of this road should be Zhangzhou Mountain Pass and Runing City.
After the avalanche accident, those people behind the scenes must be too powerless to cause trouble on the road. If they really want to get things done, then Runing City should be a network.
Ruan Mian called Cuizhu over and asked her to tell the men in the family to pay more attention to what was happening around them.
Qi Nanfeng, who was kicked down the slope by her, twisted his ankle again, adding new injuries to the old ones. It was so painful.
It took a lot of effort to climb up. Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Liu was powerless to help him.
"Son, can you still walk? I...seem to have caught a cold and feel very uncomfortable."
She dragged her heavy body, feeling like she was going to fall down at any moment.
Liu always felt that she was in good health. When she was in the Qi Mansion, Ruan Mian had money and often bought her good supplements.
I rarely feel as uncomfortable as I do now.
I guess... I must have inhaled those things yesterday.
Ruan Jiao took the opportunity to quietly walk to the back of the team, picked up a thick stick from somewhere, handed it to Qi Nanfeng, and said with pretended concern.
"Sir, you'll walk faster if you use it. I have some medicine powder here. Let me apply it on you!"
Although she already knew that Qi Nanfeng disliked her appearance and didn't feel the same way as before, she still remembered some of the words Li Shen said before he died.
He said that Qi Nanfeng had the protection of the Five Princesses behind him and had saved the son of King Yan before, so there would definitely be someone to take care of him when he arrived in Wuheng.
Now that he is in trouble and in a desperate situation, if I can be his savior, he will surely remember my kindness when he benefits from it.
So she controlled her emotions and took care of him softly and gently.
Qi Nanfeng did not refuse. If there was a free woman offering her attention, it would be foolish not to take advantage of her!
What's more, now even my mother can't help me, so it's not easy to find someone who is willing to take care of me.
Especially a silly girl like this, just a few kind words can make her go through fire and water, and she is much easier to control than the princess.
So he took the opportunity to touch Ruan Jiao's hand and whispered, "Jiao'er, if you are lucky enough to come to Wu Heng, I will definitely take you into my room and let you live a good life."
Ruan Jiao was delighted, but she said, "Sir, I treat you well because I can't bear to see you hurt. If you feel bad, my heart will also feel bad. As for other things, I don't have any extravagant expectations."
"I know you are the best woman in the world. Don't worry, I won't let you down."
…
After walking out of the valley, they crossed another mountain. Fortunately, the weather was good and it had stopped snowing.
Now they only had a few supplies left, and Ruan Mian had no good reason to give them more, so he thought of eating those supplies first.
It is more convenient to walk now that it stops snowing.
Since when, there have been more and more red fruits on both sides of the road. The officials did not react when they saw them, so Ruan Mian went forward and picked a lot of them.
Cuizhu quickly stopped her: "Girl! These fruits are so bright red, they must be poisonous. Let's not try them easily."
Just like some mushrooms, the brighter the color, the more toxic it is.
However, Ruan Mian smiled and said, "These are called myrtle berries. They are edible fruits. They can be eaten fresh, fried, ground into powder, and used to make wine."
She grabbed a few and swallowed them in one gulp. They tasted sour and sweet and were quite good.
Cuizhu was slightly surprised, but seeing that the girl was fine, she also wanted to try it herself.
Seeing how they were enjoying the food and nothing was wrong, Li Mao immediately called a servant and said, "Why don't you pick some more for later? How can we let them pick it all?"
His eyes were filled with envy and resentment.
She really underestimated the girl from the Ruan family. She was an abandoned woman, but she was quite capable.
As a result, his good plan was ruined, and all the money he collected was taken away by the old woman. What's more, Chen and Ruan Qingsong were still hanging around in front of him all day long.
Why can't that beautiful girl be his?!
He remembered the account with Ruan very clearly!
However, the more wild fruits they picked, the more they could find. Their team picked them along the direction in which the fruits grew. In order to avoid starving to death, they stockpiled as much as they could.
Before they knew it, it was getting dark and they came to a long hillside. There were few trees nearby, and all of them were covered with red fruits.
Under the moonlight, the fruits looked even redder against the snow, and both sides of the road were lined with red fruits.
For some reason, everyone felt it was a little weird.
The officer looked around in front and found the leader and asked, "Boss, why have we never seen this road before when we escorted prisoners?"
There are so many red fruits on both sides. It is impossible not to remember such a memorable road.
unless……
"You've taken the wrong road. Take a look at the map."
The officers asked everyone to rest where they were, as they wanted to make a fire and study some subjects.
Suddenly, the person at the front of the group came running over and shouted, "Sir! Sir! There seem to be houses ahead. Are we in a village?"
"House?" The area around here on the map was all wilderness, and the nearest village was at the foot of Shanguan Mountain in Zhangzhou.
Confused, they walked forward a little further and saw some stone houses scattered on the hillside beside the road, but there was no light inside.
It looks like a small land temple in a barren mountain, but it doesn't look like what a land temple should look like.
When the cold wind blew, everyone felt a chill on their backs.
Ruan Mian walked to one of the houses and found that the stones used to build the house were relatively new, like a temporary shelter.
While he was thinking, the sound of gongs was heard in the wilderness. Several people were carrying a red sedan chair and walking towards him from afar under the moonlight. The fire fruits on both sides looked like a curtain for a wedding.
Everyone was suddenly horrified!
"Sir... Sir, there is a wedding in this remote place in the middle of the night!!" When they were panicking, the people in front of the sedan chair beat the gong and sang loudly.
"The snow had clearly stopped yesterday, yet it still feels as if we're walking in the snow. The two ghosts look at each other, clueless, wandering around aimlessly. I'll marry my wife and sing her name. When will the sky clear up~~~~"
“It’s… it’s haunted!!”
"This is the Ghost Village, sir, the Ghost Village!"
