Chapter 21 Kill and Bury
The four yamen runners kept a close watch on them. Even when they were resting in the tent, they would leave gaps to monitor them at all times.
Now, except for Hu Si who was still eating meat outside, the other three could not be seen.
Where are Narcissus and Xiaoya?
Sang Ning jumped up and whispered, "I'll go look for it."
Without waiting for Huo Changan to say anything, she covered her stomach, bent over and pretended to have a stomachache, and ran into the woods.
Hu Si, who was gnawing on the meat over there, narrowed his eyes, threw away the bone, picked up the knife, and made a gesture to follow.
He wasn't too worried about others, but what he feared most was that Sang Ning'er would run away.
He saw it with his own eyes when she subdued the bull. She was very capable in jumping up and down!
Just as he was about to follow, he heard a wailing curse from the other side.
"Oh God! When will you open your eyes and see this turbid world? My Huo family is loyal and devoted, yet we have ended up like this!"
"Once a guest of honor to the king, now a prey to oppression! With treacherous ministers in power, the country is in danger!"
"Sang Xiuqi! Yan Yuheng! Treacherous villains, parasites harming the nation! Shall not die a good death!"
…
This lunatic actually dared to insult the current Grand Marshal and the Prince! He's been itching for more than a few days since he'd been beaten!
Hu Si whipped out his whip and started beating him.
Everyone woke up in shock.
"Fourth brother! What's wrong with you?" Li Yuzhi asked in surprise.
The whip cracked in the air with a terrifying sound, and everyone shuddered reflexively.
No one expected that when the first whip was swung, a small body fell on Huo Changan.
The whip hit the child's back, and the tail swept across Huo Changan's face, leaving a bloody mark.
"Jintang! Go away, stop making trouble!" Huo Changan was shocked and hurt.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt said that Jintang is the man of the Huo family. He wants to support the Huo family together with Fourth Uncle. He is no longer a child."
The little child gritted his teeth, his face turned pale, and he refused to turn over.
Huo Changan was speechless.
If he is no longer able to do so, Jintang will be needed...
"Did your fourth aunt teach you that when you were still weak, you should avoid the sharp edge first? Get up quickly. What you are doing is a meaningless sacrifice. They will eventually deal with me."
Not only did Jintang not get up, Li Yuzhi and Xie Yurou also came forward to block him.
The old lady looked around and suddenly realized why her son was behaving abnormally.
"As expected of the Huo family, they like to unite and fight the war." Hu Si smiled coldly.
He was used to seeing people abandoning their wives and daughters, betraying each other, and unable to take care of themselves in times of crisis. It was rare for them to be so united even after reaching this point.
But he was not happy at all.
Because he didn't!
Another whip cut through the sky and fell.
The old lady suddenly knelt down and cried out: "Sir, do you know where you are standing? Back then, my Marquis..."
Du Shan, who followed, had a flash of impatience in his eyes.
"Old Madam, we all know that the Marquis has made great contributions to Dongyang, but all the people in the world are subjects of the king. If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die! The Fourth Young Master's open insults to the royal family will bring us into trouble..."
"I know, sir. He's just upset and confused. He'll never do that again. I don't have any other intentions. I just remembered that my master killed over a hundred horse thieves here. I have nothing better to do. Would you be interested in listening?"
In fact, the horse thief killer is not in this place, but it does not prevent the old lady from taking it here for use.
"Then listen."

Not long after Sang Ning entered the woods, he saw Huo Jingya running towards him in disheveled clothes.
"Sang...Fourth sister-in-law! Fourth sister-in-law!" She looked confused and incoherent, with scratches on her arms and neck.
"It's over... It's over... What should I do? What should I do? I destroyed Li Chang! I don't know if he's dead or not. He definitely won't let me go. Will he get everyone killed with him?"
He might be beheaded on the spot by the officials!
She hurt everyone!
After Sang Ning understood what she meant amidst her crying, he breathed a sigh of relief. This idiot, as long as she is okay.
"Why are you crying? Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it!"
Sang Ning quickly changed their clothes to cover her scratched neck.
"Wipe away your tears and go back as if nothing happened."
Sang Ning's calm voice and expression made Huo Jingya calm down.
She once again realized how wrong she had been before.
Sang Ning'er was not the fool she had previously thought she was, nor was she one of those delicate young ladies from the capital.
She is like a female general who remains calm even when facing a crisis. She is both brave and resourceful.
"Fourth sister-in-law, what are you going to do?"
"One word: desert!"
What does desert... mean?
These are clearly two words?
Huo Jingya was just thinking about it when she heard Sang Ning ask, "Where is Yun Shuixian?"
"Narcissus? Didn't Narcissus call you here?"
Sang Ning frowned: "No, I didn't see her. Okay, go back first, I'll look for her later."
She went in the direction Huo Jingya pointed to find Li Chang.
Huo Jingya became worried again.
Is it possible that something has happened to Narcissus again?
She ran back in a hurry, wanting to see if the yamen runners were up to something again.
Passing by a large rock, I heard a slight noise coming from behind.
Huo Jingya leaned over quietly, nervous all over.
Then she saw a scene that shocked her.
Yun Shuixian, holding the beef bones she brought, was like a greedy and hungry dog, gnawing on them with no manners at all, her face covered in grease.
There was nothing else in her eyes.
She forgot her sisters were being abused and waiting to be rescued.
No, or maybe she didn't forget.
Just never cared.
After all, it was her responsibility to save her.
…
As soon as Huo Jingya returned, Hu Si quickly looked her over.
Nothing happened!
The one who would suffer should be the girl named Yun.
Li Chang is really particular about taste and his goal has never changed.
Hu Si was picking his teeth with a piece of grass in his mouth, and he was now worried that Sang Ning'er would do something bad.
But it shouldn't happen. This amount of time is enough for Li Chang to have fun a few times.
Huo Jingya saw the hidden anxiety in Huo Changan's eyes, squatted beside him and whispered, "Fourth sister-in-law is fine, she asked me to come back first."
Then he told what had happened, but did not mention Yun Shuixian.
After hearing this, Huo Changan was so angry that his heart, liver and lungs ached.
"How does she plan to deal with Li Chang?" Huo Changan worried.
We can't kill him, and we have to shut his mouth.
What to do?
"I don't know," said Fourth Sister-in-law, "one word: desert."
"These are two words!" Huo Changan was a little absent-minded and looked at the forest again.
"She definitely didn't mean these two words. You misunderstood."
But which two words are the homophones of?
Kill or bury?
Huo Jingya stopped talking.
It turns out that Fourth Brother couldn't understand the meaning of it either.
So was what the fourth sister-in-law said wrong?
