Chapter 57 Xie Jingci, you are kidding me!
Lu Wanyin is not interested in money right now.
She supported herself on the prison van's floor with one hand, using it to hop onto it and sit down. "We're about to have lunch. If you haven't made up your mind yet, go back and think about it. Don't delay us from eating."
As she spoke, she pinched the fish's dorsal fin, pulled out a piece of meat, and put it in her mouth to taste it.
The first thing you taste is the crispy and charred fish skin. Before you can savor it, the tender, smooth and sweet fish meat melts in your mouth.
"tasty!"
Lu Wanyin ate by herself, and did not forget to feed Xie Jingci behind her.
Hou Yuanji didn't leave for a long time, watching them interacting as if no one was around.
Until they both finished the whole fish.
He suddenly wasn't so angry anymore.
On the contrary, he felt that he should accept his fate.
"Let's do as you say. I can't beat you or threaten you anyway. It doesn't matter whether I agree to your request or not."
Hearing this, Lu Wanyin put down the thin branch she had used to pierce the fish and jumped off the prison van.
"Just face reality sooner rather than later and stop doing those immoral things in secret. I won't bother to embarrass you anymore."
She jingled her bracelet: "Where are the keys?"
Hou Yuanji pushed Wu Fan over.
Wu Fan had hundreds of keys hanging around his waist, and it took him a long time just to match the keys to the locks one by one.
What's more, he knew very well that Lu Wanyin and her group were not easy to deal with, and he was afraid of them from the bottom of his heart.
After untying the last anklet, he was sweating all over in the biting autumn wind.
Lu Wanyin moved her completely free hands and feet: "Let's go, let's go to work."
The personal guards headed by Xuan Yi no longer need to seek Xie Jingci's opinion.
After hearing Lu Wanyin's order, they distributed the tasks in an orderly manner.
Hou Yuanji looked at the backs of his personal guards as they left, and evil thoughts began to arise in his mind again.
He walked to the prison van and said, "She has sidelined you."
Xie Jingci had no expression on his face.
Hou Yuanji still harbored evil intentions: "Xie Jingci, although you are now a cripple, at least you were once a great general who commanded thousands of troops."
"Are you willing to just watch a mere woman take away your power?"
Xie Jingci's dark pupils flashed with sarcasm: "Your one acre and three mu of land is not yours to manage anymore, right?"
"Don't go too far! The reason she's holding me captive is because she has your personal guards backing her up. If you were capable and could control your people, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
Hou Yuanji was so angry that he kept slapping the wooden bars of the cage.
"I'm telling you, if I were you, I'd take back all the power right now and let them all know who the real master is! What Lu..."
Xie Jingci's eyes suddenly lit up: "Madam is back so soon"
Hou Yuanji's hair stood on end.
My whole body is stiffer than if I had been frozen for three days and three nights.
But beads of sweat the size of beans oozed out of his forehead and slid down his cheeks densely, just like rain.
He didn't even dare to look back.
"I was wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't have said such nonsense! I shouldn't have done such bad things!"
"So many guards are willing to follow you, which means you are a master worth following."
"From now on, you will be the sole leader of our team. I believe you will lead us to the wilderness smoothly..."
Wu Fan tugged at Hou Yuanji's elbow, repeatedly reminding him, "Sir, Madam Xie hasn't returned yet."
Hou Yuanji repeated all the words of pleas for mercy and flattery he had ever heard in his life.
Only then did I hear clearly what Wu Fan said.
He turned around.
Mrs. Xie had just finished lunch and was wiping her mouth with a handkerchief.
She said with a kind look, "My grandson's wife is a good child. Although she has a temper, she always keeps her distance from others. If you don't do bad things in the future, you won't be afraid of her."
Hou Yuanji was filled with rage, but the old lady's few words suppressed his anger.
He doesn't get angry at older people.
Hou Yuanji turned around and angrily shouted at Xie Jingci, who had closed his eyes and was resting in the prison car, "Xie Jingci, how dare you lie to me!"
Hou Yuanji's hand was already on the hilt of the knife.
Xie Jingci shrugged: "It's obvious, there's no need to shout so loudly."
This nonchalant look is simply a provocation!
Hou Yuanji grasped the hilt of the knife.
Right now, almost all of Xie Jingci's personal guards have been sent out to look for someone, which is the best opportunity to kill him.
Just when Hou Yuanji was about to have second thoughts, a shadow flashed over his head.
He stepped back subconsciously.
He had only taken two steps back when Xie Derui fell from the sky and landed at the place where he was just now. He rolled on the ground and cried out in pain.
Hou Yuanji's face changed drastically.
Xuan Yi threw Xie Yuantai in front of Hou Yuanji again. He said in a cold tone, "Commander Hou, do you want to fight? I don't mind fighting with you on behalf of my general."
"No, no! I didn't mean that!"
After going through so many things, Hou Yuanji became more timid than a mouse.
After saying that, he ran away.
…
"Where's Ziqian? Why didn't he say anything?"
Xie Deyao was dragged by Zhou and called out the names of his children and grandchildren one by one.
But I didn't hear any response from Xie Ziqian, and I felt very nervous.
Zhou was upset by the noise: "Stop yelling! They are a family of four that have run away. You can't get them back by yelling!"
Xie Ziheng felt tired and leaned half of his body on his wife.
He said irritably, "It's already this late. Escape is the most important thing. If you want to go back to find them, go back on your own. We are still young and want to live a few more years."
Xie Deyao doesn't have much affection for his brothers.
But he could not allow his son to ignore the brotherly love.
He shouted angrily, "You wicked thing! You don't even care about your brothers and parents. I'll beat you to death!"
After these few days of negotiations, Xie Ziheng completely dropped his disguise and said whatever he wanted to his father.
"Come on! You're already blind and you still won't stop!"
Sure enough, Xie Deyao was so angry that he almost fainted.
Just as Zhou was about to reconcile the relationship between father and son, she suddenly saw a large cultivated vegetable field in the distance.
There are also dense patches of winter radishes growing on the ground.
"Ziheng! Come with me! There's food over there!"
For the Xie family, who had been eating black-flour steamed buns for five or six days, filling their stomachs was far more urgent than escaping.
Xie Ziheng and his wife turned around and saw Zhou pulling Xie Deyao and Xie Zichuan running towards the east.
They scrambled to grab the food.
Xie Ziheng pulled the radishes out of the ground.
The radish covered with black soil exudes a fresh fragrance. It is plump and white, and you can tell at a glance that it is juicy.
He eagerly wiped the radish from head to toe, and stuffed it directly into his mouth without caring whether it was clean or not.
Snap——
The crisp sound made everyone else forget about the dirt.
One person was chewing a carrot as thick as his arm.
After Zhou finished chewing a whole bun, she lay down on the ground contentedly and burped loudly: "It feels so good! It feels so good not to have to eat black-faced buns!"
Xie Ziheng picked up a radish from his side.
I'm no longer hungry and my food tastes better.
He carefully wiped the dirt off the surface of the radish and said worriedly, "I can't eat radishes every day. This radish field has someone else. Who knows when they'll pull all the radishes out."
Xie Deyao suddenly felt that the radish in his hand no longer tasted fragrant.
He angrily said, "It's all the fault of the third brother's stupidity! If he hadn't believed the jailer in the cell and tricked us into handing over all our valuables, we would have been able to put together a house by now."
Hearing this, Zhou thought of the gold hairpin she had handed over, and her heart ached as if it were cut by a knife.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that. It's not like we don't have anywhere to go."
No one expected the sudden turn of events, and they were all eagerly waiting for Zhou's next words.
