Chapter 43: Fighting and failing again and again
Xie Jingci raised his eyes and met Hou Yuanji's scrutiny.
His tone was cold: "Humph!"
There was an undisguised look of disgust on that unquestionable icy face.
The moment he was sure that the giant python would not harm Lu Wanyin, Xie Jingci let down his guard.
At this time, the palms drooped limply.
It's like a wilted vegetable, without any vitality.
Hou Yuanji looked at his disdainful expression, as if he saw a huge word "stupid" pressing towards him.
So angry!
Hou Yuanji said angrily, "You'd better not let me catch you, otherwise you will cry one day!"
“Plop!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the tall and thin escort knelt down in front of Lu Wanyin.
He pointed at the silver needles on his face in panic.
Then he pointed to his throat: "Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh! Ahhh!"
The bailiff crawled on his knees twice, trying to hold Lu Wanyin's legs and beg for mercy.
But he was frightened away by Xie Jingci's sharp eyes.
He simply banged his head against the ground, making a loud bang.
Hou Yuanji was immediately furious.
Don't kneel down early or late.
He knelt right after he threatened. Was he trying to embarrass him?
Xuan Qi was bringing over the undistributed food.
Seeing this, he glanced at Hou Yuanji and blew a loud whistle.
The meaning was to blatantly mock Hou Yuanji for not being able to protect his men, forcing them to ask the enemy for help.
Shameful!
Fortunately, Hou Yuanji's attention was not on Xuan Qi, otherwise he would be so angry.
But the mere act of kowtowing to Lu Wanyin was enough to make him furious.
Hou Yuanji used his hands and feet to beat the bailiff.
The escort didn't dare to dodge and could only lie on the ground with his hands on his head, letting Hou Yuanji vent his anger.
Other escorts came to mediate.
But more of them were looking at Lu Wanyin, wishing they could slap themselves in the face.
They all mocked him just now, it was just that Wu Fan was unlucky.
It just happened that Lu Wanyin couldn't bear to listen anymore.
In other words, Wu Fan's fate may be the fate of each of them.
I told you not to talk too much!
I told you to remember to eat and not to be beaten!
I was just being peed by crows, so how could I be blinded by that IOU?
The escorts all lowered their heads and reduced their presence to avoid being used as a punching bag by Lu Wanyin.
Lu Wanyin was not interested in dealing with them.
Following the sound of beating, she first burned all the used silver needles on the fire, and then checked the food that Xuan Qi brought.
These foods were donated spontaneously by the villagers, basically one bag per family.
Some of it was poisoned by the King of Qi, but some was still edible.
Lu Wanyin and Liuying had been busy until now and had only eaten some beef jerky, so they were inevitably a little hungry.
She picked through the cloth bags, made sure the food was non-toxic, and distributed it one by one.
Even she herself was eating a pancake with sauce.
After everyone around her had divided theirs, Lu Wanyin picked out another bag of clean steamed cakes and handed it to Liuying: "Keep it."
"Young Madam—"
A soft and weak voice sounded.
Lu Wanyin looked in the direction of the sound and, not surprisingly, met the eager gazes of the servants.
All those looks revealed two words - want to eat.
Lu Wanyin curled the corners of her mouth slightly, lowered her head and continued to pick without hesitation.
She is not a bad person!
Therefore, all the servants who did not believe her and took advantage of her misfortune could only continue to starve along with the Xie family.
Who made them unable to distinguish between good and bad?
Serves you right!
…
After the incident just now, the team set off again quickly.
"Bang!"
But not long after they left, Hou Yuanji suddenly jumped onto the prison van, and his heavy body caused the van to shake violently.
Lu Wanyin grabbed the railing and was barely avoided being thrown off by him.
She glared at Hou Yuanji angrily: "Your leg is healed?"
Hou Yuanji ignored her, but his eyes were only on Xie Jingci.
He was sure that when the prison van was shaking, Xie Jingci did not hold on to the wooden fence to steady himself.
Even Lu Wanyin almost fell down. Although there was anxiety in his eyes, he did not make any subconscious movements.
He is undoubtedly a useless person.
Hou Yuanji was relieved and jumped out of the prison van with satisfaction.
But he didn't know that the moment he turned around, Lu Wanyin raised her eyebrows at Xie Jingci.
She did guess that Hou Yuanji would come to test her.
But I was still surprised by Xie Jingci's calmness.
The most difficult thing for people to control is their subconscious actions.
This Xie Jingci is indeed a ruthless person.
Hou Yuanji repeatedly checked Xie Jingci's wound.
After being rejected, he took the opportunity to test it out.
After all, just because it wasn’t cured before doesn’t mean it won’t be cured by Lu Wanyin later.
The emperor ordered him to kill Xie Jingci in a natural way, and he couldn't just watch Xie Jingci get better.
So Hou Yuanji came up with all kinds of tricks.
He would sneak attack Xie Jingci from time to time.
He even intended to add croton powder into Xie Jingci's water.
However, there is Lu Wanyin in charge, plus a group of brave and fierce guards.
Hou Yuanji's plan was doomed to fail from the very beginning.
"Get out of here right now! Or I'll prick you up like a hedgehog!"
Lu Wanyin held the silver needle and glared at Hou Yuanji fiercely.
When Hou Yuanji saw the silver needle that could save lives and kill people, he left in shame.
Anyway, there is a long time to come, so he is not afraid at all.
Lu Wanyin was rarely annoyed.
Hou Yuanji doesn't have much ability, but he is like a fly, not biting but annoying.
"lady."
Xie Jingci called her, "Take a look to the south, you might like it."
Lu Wanyin turned her head without much interest.
A row of pomegranate trees are neatly planted along the roadside, with leaves that are either emerald green or golden yellow.
Looking towards the end of the road, it seems like the forest is full of different colors.
But what interested Lu Wanyin was not the beautiful scenery.
But it was the pomegranates that were so heavy that they bent the branches.
The pomegranates are bigger than fists, and when they are ripe, they open their mouths to reveal the red, plump flesh.
Unripe pomegranates also have different colors, which are so beautiful that they make people... salivate.
After living in the apocalypse for several years, Lu Wanyin hadn't seen such tempting original fruits for a long time.
However, there is a tight fence around the pomegranate tree, so it must belong to someone.
Lu Wanyin felt very sorry and walked along the way looking for the owner of the orchard: "It's time to pick the fruits, why is there no one in sight?"
Since there are people around, she can buy a few more.
After hearing the mumbling, Hou Yuanji finally knew how to suppress Lu Wanyin.
"Go, pick some big, red pomegranates for me!"
The escort was also greedy and picked more than thirty pomegranates in a row.
Part of it was provided to Hou Yuanji, and part was kept for himself.
Hou Yuanji turned around in the prison van and sat cross-legged facing Xie Jingci and Lu Wanyin.
Peel the pomegranate skin and squeeze it hard.
The juice bursts out of the skin, and the sweet aroma fills the air.
He held the pomegranate in front of Lu Wanyin and the other person in a frivolous manner: "It smells so good! Do you want to have a bite?"
As he spoke, he suddenly withdrew his hand: "No, no, I heard that when you were leading the army, you stipulated that soldiers were not allowed to trample on crops or seize the fruits and vegetables that belonged to the owner. Although you are not a general now, you should not violate the rules you set."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hou Yuanji looked at Xie Jingci and the others with pride, and took a big bite of the pomegranate.
That attitude is as arrogant as it can be.
Xie Jingci predicted something and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
...three, four, five...
Lu Wanyin, who was silently counting how many times Hou Yuanji chewed, became more and more shocked.
The membrane that wraps the pomegranate has a distinct bitter taste. Does he have no sense of taste?
How come I didn't notice it at all?
Being stared at by these two people with unexpected eyes, Hou Yuanji, who had suffered countless losses, chewed slower and slower.
There must be a conspiracy!
Xie and Lu are quiet, they must be up to something.
Hou Yuanji looked around vigilantly, trying to find out what bad things these two people had done.
However, when he calmed down, he suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Pfft!"
Hou Yuanji vomited outside the prison car.
His center of gravity tilted forward and he fell directly to the ground.
Following a shrill scream, Lu Wanyin was completely satisfied.
Looking down at Hou Yuanji, who had been knocked to the ground for who knows how many times, her eyebrows curved.
"No need, there's really no need! Even though you're despicable, a beast in human form, and have committed countless evil deeds, there's really no need to show us such great courtesy."
Hou Yuanji: ...
At this moment, ten thousand alpaca horses are galloping in my heart.
Maybe he was tortured too badly both physically and mentally.
After being helped onto the prison van by the escort, Hou Yuanji no longer had the energy to make things difficult for Lu Wanyin and the others.
Woo woo woo, I keep fighting and losing, but I keep fighting.
He will also be frustrated, okay?
The prison van headed west, but the orchard seemed to have no end.
Suddenly, a sharp sound came from the orchard.
"Don't do this! Manager Zhang, wuwu, please spare me!"
"Damn it, you have such a long face. Even crying like this can make me excited!"
