Chapter 45: I can only swallow my anger
Zhao Chunxiu, who woke up after a night's rest, seemed to have forgotten the pain as her wounds had healed. She stared at the Gu family with a murderous look. Just as she was about to open her mouth, the wound on her face made her gasp.
"It's early in the morning, who are you trying to annoy? It makes you look so powerful..."
Ran Qingxuan had amazing hearing ability and instantly locked onto the person speaking, Zhao Chunxiu.
"Why, you don't accept it? If you don't accept it, come and hit me!"
Smiling at Zhao Chunxiu who was covered in wounds, Ran Qingxuan deliberately stirred the porridge in the pot, and the aroma of meat became stronger.
Zhao Chunxiu shrugged her nose unconsciously, and the hatred in her eyes became even stronger.
In the Shang family team, Shang Bin sat up and looked at Ran Qingxuan expressionlessly. A flash of fierceness in his eyes made Ran Qingxuan stop what he was doing.
She was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that Shang Bin seemed to have planned something in his mind. That look in his eyes was frightening, as if he was looking at a dead person.
It's not like she hadn't seen such looks in her previous life. Even if they were helped, the rebels would only have a dead look in their eyes, and that kind of look would often bring bad things.
Ran Qingxuan looked around vigilantly and did not find anything wrong.
But she understood the principle of "better safe than sorry". If a person has the intention to harm others, no one knows when he will suddenly attack!
Fortunately, except for the Gu family, almost everyone else wanted to take advantage of the limited time to sleep a little longer.
While the official was still sleepy, Ran Qingxuan quietly served a bowl of porridge and placed it on the ground. He looked at the crowd and put it into the space silently.
Then she naturally walked to the cart, moved the package, and pretended to look for something inside. In fact, she had already placed the porridge next to Gu Yanchen's head.
Taking advantage of the package to cover himself, Gu Yanchen quickly finished the bowl of hot meat porridge.
The noise of the Gu family eating was used to successfully cover up the sound of Gu Yanchen eating.
However, when Ran Qingxuan was packing up, she suddenly discovered that the night vision goggles she used last night were actually placed where she had slept before.
Suddenly startled, Ran Qingxuan quickly picked up the thing and put it in his sleeve. He carefully glanced at Gu Yanchen, and was slightly relieved when he saw that he was not looking in this direction.
In fact, Gu Yanchen’s mood was quite complicated.
If I really had Ran Qingxuan's trust, she should tell me directly!
As the sky gradually brightened, people in the team began to wake up one after another.
When Madam Shang, He Qin, saw the official, she walked up to him cautiously and asked.
"Sir, can you give us some water?"
The officer was holding a bag in his hand and started throwing black steamed buns into every house he visited.
When he saw He Qin coming forward to ask for water, his face suddenly turned serious.
"What do you need water for so early in the morning?"
"Just... just want to wash my face..."
When the officer heard this, he already reached for the whip.
"Wash your face? Do you not recognize your own identity or your current situation? We brothers are reluctant to drink that water, and you still want to use it to wash your face?"
"I have water. I'll give you two taels of silver for a bag. Do you want it?"
He Qin stood there in silence. The officer lost his patience and raised his whip to hit He Qin's legs.
"Sir, please don't hit me. Please don't hit me. I don't want to..."
Seeing that the officer's whip was about to fall again, Shang Zicheng, the eldest son of the Shang family, rushed forward and protected He Qin behind him, staring at the officer with stubborn eyes.
"Hehe, you still dare to stare at me, I think you are looking for death!"
The officers tried to kill Shang Zicheng by whipping him seven or eight times without saying a word. Mrs. Shang, He Qin, caught her breath and quickly pulled her son back, begging for mercy.
"Humph, you better face reality. If you dare to do anything rash again, you will be whipped!"
Ran Qingxuan and the women of the Gu family did not speak and just sat there quietly.
The officer stepped forward and placed a bag of steamed buns that he had prepared in advance on the ground. Although his tone was not as harsh as when he treated the Shang family just now, his tone was also rather stiff.
"If you can reach Xiaoweishan County tonight, you can go there to buy what you need tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master Cha, and thank you, Chief Cha."
The prisoners could only swallow their anger when they saw the disparity in the officials' attitudes towards their own family and the Gu family.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and leave in a quarter of an hour."
When the prisoners stood up, they were all disheveled and holding the black steamed buns, not knowing whether they should eat them.
Until the officers began to urge them, the prisoners all made bitter faces and bit the buns in their hands, making crunching sounds.
In order to survive, they were ultimately forced to swallow it.
Seeing the white steamed buns go into the pockets of the Gu family, the prisoners were extremely jealous.
But what they didn't know was that the white flour buns prepared by the officials were actually intended to be sold to the prisoners for profit.
But who could have imagined that the prisoners on this trip were so poor that they couldn't even afford a penny.
To the Gu family, it was not to thank Ran Qingxuan for saving the official as they saw, but it would break down if it was released any further...
Although there were twelve officers, they could not finish thirty or forty steamed buns. Instead of wasting them, it was better to repay Ran Qingxuan for saving their lives as a favor.
In order to prevent someone from discovering her secret, Ran Qingxuan did not take food out of the space in the morning. After all, the bag used as a cover was so small, and the thin quilt alone took up half of it.
If you take food out, you will definitely be suspected.
Because of the third sister-in-law Chen Wan'er, the Chen family no longer had the previous prejudice against the Gu family, but after Ran Qingxuan decided to camp, he went to Chen Chengping to ask for clarification.
He gave some of the steamed buns in his hand to the Chen family, and Ran Qingxuan took one and started eating it by himself.
A bowl of porridge alone is not enough to fill their stomachs, after all, they will set out later and walk until noon.
She hadn't taken a few bites of the steamed bun when her sixth sense told her that someone seemed to be staring at her.
Ran Qingxuan glanced at the prisoner's position with her peripheral vision, and when she turned around, she found that Li Si at the front of the line was staring at her fiercely.
The original body's memory kept replaying the scenes about Li Si in her mind. Ran Qingxuan sneered and deliberately raised the steamed bun in his hand and waved it at her.
There is a provocation in the eyes, as if saying that you can see but you can't eat...
The undercurrents between the two did not escape the attention of the Gu family, and it was obvious that Ran Qingxuan did it on purpose.
They knew that Ran Qingxuan was not such a person, so the eldest sister-in-law asked curiously.
"Sixth brother and sister, what happened to you two?"
"Nothing, just something suddenly occurred to me."
"What's the matter? Tell me and have fun!"
The second sister-in-law, Chang Yue'e, was quite interested in this. When Mrs. Gu heard her second daughter-in-law talking nonsense, she patted her shoulder.
But she was also very curious, so she didn't blame him.
Seeing that everyone was so curious, Ran Qingxuan swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and told her how she had made up stories about Gu Yanchen being incompetent in front of him, and then mocked herself for being a widow in the past.
