One bite and it was the familiar taste again. With another bite of grilled meat, Lin Zhaozhao couldn't help but sigh, "Awesome! Grilled meat still needs to be paired with cola."
Lin Yangyang followed suit, opened the can, took a sip, and her expression changed from a bitter face of incomprehension to puffing out her cheeks and frowning, and finally to her eyes shining. She took one sip after another, and her little appearance really had the charm of a little drunkard.
Under the dazzling starlight, the three people and the sheep enjoyed a moment of tranquility. Suddenly, Meimei stood up and let out a long "meow." Lin Zhaozhao quickly put the things she had taken out into her spatial storage and hid them in the shadows.
"Where is he? You old hag, if you dare to play me, I, Qi Dazui, will show you what it means to be stabbed in the face and then stabbed in the back." Qi Dazui slapped Xu Juanzi across the face with such force that her face swelled up in the blink of an eye. She dared not utter a word of anger, for she was now tasting the bitter fruit of trying to get something from a tiger.
“I just heard sheep bleating not far ahead.”
"You'd better tell the truth, or you'll regret it." Qi Dazui sneered and told Xu Juanzi to lead the way.
When they reached the spot where Lin Zhaozhao had just rested, both of them couldn't help but take a deep breath. The lingering aroma was so fragrant that their mouths watered, and Xu Juanzi even drooled with envy.
"That whore Lin Zhaozhao must have roasted and eaten the sheep. The smell is still there, so they couldn't have gone far." Xu Juanzi wiped her mouth, and Qi Dazui agreed with her, immediately starting their search around that spot.
As soon as he reached the uphill section, Qi Dazui's body stiffened slightly, and he felt a wave of heat rushing to his neck. As he backed away, he saw a sheep spitting on his face. With a bleat, a sheep charged down the slope. Qi Dazui instinctively took off running, but in his panic, he tripped over his own feet and tumbled down the slope.
He crashed straight into the bottommost dead tree with a thud. A dead branch fell heavily, making him dizzy and disoriented. Before he could recover, someone grabbed his feet and hung him upside down from the tree with a rope. As he swayed, Xu Juanzi came to join him.
Lin Zhaozhao squatted on the ground with her face sticking out, and looked at Xu Juanzi with a smile, "Have you forgotten what I said? You still dare to bring people to chase me. Tell me, what are you up to now? If I'm in a good mood, I might consider letting you go."
"I'll tell you everything." Qi Dazui felt like he had the worst luck in the world. He thought he could make a fortune without much effort, but instead he became a sitting duck.
Qi Dazui told her everything without missing a single word, and Lin Zhaozhao was genuinely amused by the situation. Thinking of Xu Juanzi's plan before the original owner died in childbirth, she felt a surge of anger and an impulse to crush Xu Juanzi.
Just as she was about to put it into practice, the sound of a baby crying came from the space. The anger in Lin Zhaozhao's heart dissipated, and she hid in the shadows and hugged Ping An into her arms.
"Since he's so knowledgeable about this, let them taste what it's like too." Lin Zhaozhao's face turned sinister as she ordered Lin Yangyang to search Qi Dazui's body and find all his valuables: a bag of loose silver, a stack of papers, and two dry, hard biscuits.
Stuffing Qi Dazui and Xu Juanzi's mouths with the cakes, Lin Zhaozhao began to look through them. The silver coins were slightly heavier, about fifteen taels, and the papers were mostly indentures, or even death contracts.
If she were just an ordinary woman, she would surely be fish on the chopping block, at Xu Juanzi's mercy.
Lin Zhaozhao exhaled a deep breath, knocked Qi Dazui unconscious with a single palm strike, and then put Xu Juanzi down.
Xu Juanzi was terrified and instinctively knelt down before Lin Zhaozhao, begging for mercy, "Zhaozhao, I was blinded by greed, please forgive me this time..."
Lin Zhaozhao was disgusted by this insincere repentance. It was just a last resort for Xu Juanzi, who had nowhere else to go and was facing death. Once she regained her life, she would definitely turn her anger towards her without hesitation. That's human nature.
Xu Juanzi kowtowed until her forehead bled. Lin Zhaozhao looked down at Xu Juanzi and said indifferently, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. You have to live well and live longer than anyone else so that you can cleanse yourself of your sins."
The torment the original owner suffered was too easy for her to just wipe her neck. Lin Zhaozhao wanted Xu Juanzi to suffer the same pain as the original owner, and Xu Juanzi should suffer it a thousand times, ten thousand times over.
