Chapter 77 Who is this person? 】
Qin Huanhuan failed to frame Chen Fenghe, but her main purpose of creating the illusion of a miscarriage was achieved. She had no choice but to be helped to the Qin family by Qian Qiuyun and her sister-in-law Li Guihua.
The second branch of the Qin family couldn't help but sneer.
"Oh, Huan'er has suffered so much. It's a pity... she lost the baby just after she got pregnant. Let me see, your lover will not care about you anymore!" Liu Cui couldn't help but gloating.
Without the support of the officials, let’s see how arrogant the eldest wife can be!
Qian Qiuyun was so angry that she slapped Liu Cui in the face and cursed, "Huan'er had a miscarriage, what are you so proud of? Isn't it because of the Qin family that Huan'er will be given special care by the officials on this trip? Didn't you eat the wild rabbit meat? Huan'er has fallen out of favor, what good will it do you! Besides! What's the big deal about a miscarriage? Can't you get pregnant again? If you dare to be so proud again, I'll smack you to death!"
After hearing this, Liu Cui covered her face and dared not say anything more. However, her hatred for the first wife became even deeper.
After watching the excitement, everyone dispersed.
Chen Fenghe collected a little blood without making a sound and put it into the space.
By night, the exile team had indeed arrived at a larger town. Chen Wu took the team to an inn he knew and asked the prisoners to pay for their own accommodation in a large dormitory or a single room.
Chen Fenghe naturally stayed in a single room, and asked the store owner to keep the cart in the carriage shed.
For dinner, Chen Fenghe took out six pig's feet and some soybeans from the space, and said that he bought them from the store and borrowed the store's kitchen to stew the soybeans.
Then, he took out wheat flour and kneaded it into hand-rolled noodles. He also took out a piece of pork belly, chopped it into minced meat, and made the sauce for the fried noodles.
After Qin Mengyue and the three little ones helped to boil the water, they took out the cooked vegetables and mixed them with the fragrant meat sauce. It was so delicious that it made people unable to walk.
By the time the noodles are ready, the pig's feet are almost done stewing.
As usual, Chen Fenghe gave some to the officials, and the rest was left for the family to eat pig's trotters and noodles with soybean paste.
After dinner, when Qin Mengyue and the three little ones fell asleep, she entered the space and used instruments to test the samples collected during the day.
As expected, it was rabbit blood.
After getting the expected answer, Chen Fenghe disposed of the samples, harvested the grains, vegetables, fruits, etc. in the space, and also harvested several medicinal herbs he had planted. Then he took a nice hot bath and came out of the space.
There was enough food and vegetables in the space now. However, she didn't have enough seeds for growing medicinal herbs.
Chen Fenghe thought that maybe he could buy some seeds in town tomorrow.
After coming out of the space, Chen Fenghe didn't feel sleepy at all.
Thinking of the wild pheasant that inexplicably appeared in the bamboo basket this morning, she had an idea and simply passed through the space and quietly went to the carriage shed to check.
The wild pheasant in the space this morning is still alive and kicking, so it should not have been poisoned by any chronic poison or anything.
This means that the person who secretly released wild pheasants to her should not have any malicious intentions?
But he had no ill intentions, yet secretly gave them wild animals. Who was this person and what was his intention?
Chen Fenghe waited in the cold wind for a long time, but saw no movement, and couldn't help feeling disappointed.
She originally thought that if there was a first time for that person, there would be a second time, and he would appear again tonight.
It seems she was overthinking it.
Chen Fenghe was about to go back through the space when suddenly, a black shadow swiftly and silently climbed over the wall of the inn and walked straight towards the carriage shed!
Chen Fenghe was cheered up and quickly hid behind the firewood pile nearby, observing quietly.
As expected, the black shadow walked to her cart and put something black and large into her bamboo basket. Then, he grabbed a handful of straw and put it in, probably to cover up the thing.
After doing all this, the black shadow stood quietly for a while, no one knew what he was thinking. Then he turned around as if he had made up his mind and rushed towards the courtyard wall that he had climbed over.
Chen Fenghe waited until he climbed over the wall and left before walking to the cart, pushing aside the dry straw in the bamboo basket to see what was inside.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a sable with a brown body.
The sable's limbs were also tied up. She touched it and found that it was still warm, obviously it was still alive, just knocked unconscious.
I guess... he's also afraid that she'll become suspicious?
Chen Fenghe's eyebrows couldn't help but frown.
He had secretly sent her things for two consecutive days. She wanted to see who this person was and what his intentions were.
Chen Fenghe thought about it, took Zidane into the space, and then teleported directly outside the courtyard wall.
She looked around, then was surprised.
The town is not big. Outside the courtyard wall is the inn’s own vegetable garden. The white snow is dotted with white light in the night, but where is the black shadow just now?
She shouldn't have wasted much time, so how did the shadow disappear? Wasn't it running too fast?
Chen Fenghe was speechless for a moment. She carefully observed the footprints left on the snow. The black figure was obviously quite skilled, probably even possessing some legendary Qinggong skills. Therefore, there were not many obvious traces left on the ground.
But this did not stump Shen Fenghe. She soon found a few shallow half footprints and followed them.
Finally, they chased him to the outside of a small woods, and the footprints disappeared.
Chen Fenghe hesitated.
Although her intuition told her that the shadow probably had no ill intentions, entering the woods at night, what if there was an ambush...
When she was debating whether to continue chasing or go back home, she suddenly heard a slight cough from the side!
Chen Fenghe's heart trembled, and he tiptoed over quickly. In a one-meter-deep ditch filled with snow, a dark figure was lying face down in it. He was trying to get up using his hands and feet, but he seemed very weak. He tried for a long time but couldn't get up. He was just breathing heavily and coughing from time to time.
Chen Fenghe: “…”
Looking at this person's back, he looks quite similar to the dark shadow that just appeared in the yard of the inn.
Isn't he quite skilled? He just climbed over the wall twice, so how did he fall into the ditch?
"Do you need help?" Chen Fenghe squatted down and asked lightly.
The dark figure in the ditch froze in an instant as if acupuncture points had hit his meridians. He then coughed twice and whispered, "No need..."
"oh……"
I didn't realize this guy was quite proud.
After being rejected by him, Shen Fenghe became a little hesitant.
If I had known this earlier, I would have just gotten started. Now that you ask me this, I don’t know whether to help or not.
The man remained still for a moment, then began to try again. However, his body was too weak, and apart from breathing even louder, he could only barely sit up against the wall of the ditch.
Chen Fenghe couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so she walked directly to his side, took out a belt from the space, threw it to him, and said, "Grab the belt, I'll pull you up."
The man obviously didn't expect that Shen Fenghe hadn't left yet, and he looked at her in surprise.
Although it snowed heavily in the past two days, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse tonight. In addition, the accumulated snow reflected light, so it was not too dark around.
The moment the man raised his eyes, Shen Fenghe was stunned.
This man has really long eyelashes.
However, the lower half of his face was covered with a black cloth, making it impossible to see his features.
The man looked at Chen Fenghe with a complicated look, then lowered his head again and said in a low voice: "Men and women should not touch each other, young lady, you should go back quickly."
Tsk! The people of this dynasty are really...
She, a woman, hasn't said anything yet, so why is he, a man, so old-fashioned?
If she wasn't now roughly certain that he was the one who sent her the sable, she wouldn't have cared even if he died.
"To be honest, don't look at me dressed like this, I am actually... a man dressed as a woman. You don't have to be afraid that I will hold you responsible." Chen Fenghe said calmly.
man:"……"
Chen Fenghe sighed and said, "You're a grown man, don't be so fussy. Or do you plan to freeze to death in this ditch?"
The man looked up at her again, and finally grabbed the belt she threw to him, and then with the help of Shen Fenghe, he climbed out of the ditch.
With just this little movement, he sat on the ground, panting again.
The man caught his breath, and without even looking at Chen Fenghe, he said in a cold tone: "Thank you for saving me. I'm fine now. You can go."
Chen Fenghe couldn't help but frown.
Why is this person like this?
After all, she had helped him, so could she really eat him up? Why was she so eager to send him away? It was as if she was just trying to pester him?
Chen Fenghe was not the type to put his best foot forward, so he asked directly:
"I just want to ask one question. You put that sable in my bamboo basket, didn't you? And what about the pheasant from last night? Why did you put these things there? What was your intention?"
The man lowered his head and sneered, "You are so funny, young lady. If I could hunt down a pheasant or a sable, wouldn't it be even better to roast it and eat it myself? Why put it in your bamboo basket with an empty stomach? Are you sleepwalking? It's so late at night, young lady, you should go home quickly to prevent your family from worrying!"
Chen Fenghe looked at him. She had followed the trail and it was unlikely that she would make a mistake.
However, he now flatly denied it, which naturally meant that he didn't want to be recognized.
However, I think he has no ill intentions. Otherwise, she is alone now, and it would be a perfect opportunity for him to kill her, right?
Chen Fenghe didn't want to force her, so she said, "If that's the case, then I must have been sleepwalking. However, having such dreams too often can be quite scary. I hope I won't have them again in the future!"
After saying that, she turned and was about to leave.
Just after taking a few steps out, I heard a slight "thump" sound behind me.
