After repelling foreign aggression, the only thing left is to maintain domestic stability. Now the external situation has been gradually calmed down, but internal problems have also begun to emerge. Song Bailu's attempt to induce me to make a mistake was premeditated and was implemented and set up when Yunwen and I both had relative trust in her. Yunwen felt very upset about this, and I could no longer accept her.

So I thought that after burying Yingchun, I should also deal with Song Bailu.

"Let's go. The three of us will take care of the aftermath, and then I'll discuss my next arrangements," I said.

After saying that, I asked Yunwen to put the prepared food aside for the time being, and go outside the city gate with Bai Lu and me. Then the three of us wrapped Song Yingchun in a quilt, and carried her to the northwest side of the city. We found a relatively suitable place, and I used a shovel to dig a hole. When the hole was big and deep enough, we put people in it, covered it with soil, and then found some stones to pile on it.

Bai Lu took a bottle, grabbed a handful of soil and sprinkled it into the bottle, then covered it. She also placed the carpentry tools that Song Yingchun used every day in front of the grave, muttering, "Sister will send you here. If I have time one day, I will repair the grave for you and put a tombstone for you so that we can find you next time. Tell sister in your dreams what you want to eat these days, and I will try my best to burn it for you before the seventh day of your death."

Yunwen and I watched from the side. For us, for Song Yingchun, and even for Song Bailu, we had done our best. The past grudges also disappeared when Song Yingchun died suddenly. The dead are the greatest, and everything is buried in the ground and there is no need to mention it again in the future.

Yunwen and I accompanied Song Bailu in crying for a long time, then we went out of the forest, returned to the castle, and sat at the dining table on the first floor again. Song Bailu seemed a little absent-minded, and her eyes were a little red and swollen from crying.

"A lot of things have happened recently, and their sources are not from outside things, but from the disaster of human nature. No matter whether it is Song Yingchun's repeated attempts to harm people, or you, Song Bailu, who drugged me with aphrodisiacs, it is all like this. It all comes from your own selfishness. There are no laws, no moral constraints, and no regulatory departments on the deserted island. Once there is selfishness, it will be a disaster. Yunwen and I still plan to avoid disasters and live a quiet life. Therefore, my arrangement is very simple. The team will be disbanded, and I will no longer be the captain of this team. I no longer have the obligation to be responsible for you, Song Bailu. Let's go our separate ways." I said.

The room was silent. Both girls were silent. The silence fermented in the dark castle.

However, I don't like silence. Silence can't solve problems, it will only increase them, so I kept silent and continued, "Of course, I won't be so heartless and watch you die in vain, so Yunwen and I will try our best to help you build a place to survive before leaving. We will send you back to the tower and provide you with some food and resources so that you have a chance to survive. This is our last kindness."

Song Bailu's tears kept flowing like a broken string. She sniffed and nodded. She didn't beg for mercy or fight for anything. She just said, "Brother Zhou Bo, I will obey your arrangement, but you don't have to do this to me anymore. My sister is dead, and you have to leave me. How can I survive alone on an isolated island? It would be worse than death. But have you ever thought about it? If I was pregnant with your child, wouldn't you kill him with your own hands?"

When she said this, I was stunned and speechless for a moment. This is indeed possible. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. When she said this, it seemed that I was cruel and heartless. I could not defend myself for this loss. After all, no matter how things happened, it was an established fact.

"I..." I scratched my neck, mostly out of embarrassment.

"Song Bailu, that was something you accomplished by using improper means. It's too shameful for you to use this kind of thing to threaten Zhou Bo." Yunwen felt indignant for me.

"Zhang Yunwen, do you know why I do this? Because Zhou Bo only has you in his heart. He calls your name whether he is awake or asleep. And I am also a woman. I am trapped on this deserted island, and I also hope that someone can give me some nourishment and let me have some thoughts. You selfishly occupy his heart and now occupy his body. How can other women survive? Let me ask you, if it were not for the desperate situation, who would think of such a dirty method? Tell me, if I don’t occupy a little position in Zhou Bo mentally and physically, why should he spend the effort to feed me and how can I survive?" Song Bailu shouted at the top of her lungs.

She covered her face and cried as if she wanted to tear one's heart in two.

"Besides, the Zhou family's child may have really been born. I'm just giving a reminder. As for whether it's a threat or not, that's another matter. After all, if Zhou Bo insists on choosing you instead of the child, what's the point of me saying all this?" Song Bailu shouted.

"Zhou Bo gave you a chance to live, but you chose to commit suicide. It was obviously you who wanted to kill the possible baby in your belly, but you insisted on putting the blame on Zhou Bo. Aren't you shameless?" Zhang Yunwen said sternly.

"If it were you, would you be willing to hide in that dark corner on this isolated island and live a miserable life alone? Can you endure it? But this is the life Zhou Bo left for us mother and daughter. Tell me, what other choice can I have? I used to have Yingchun to be angry about and to complain about, but now she is gone. What is the meaning of my life! Besides, even if I don't die, wouldn't it be the same if that fox monster killed me like she killed Yingchun one day? She clearly warned me, but she didn't dare to do it because Zhou Bo was there." Song Bailu said.

I sighed. I couldn't avoid what I should have avoided. The mistake had been made and it couldn't be easily shaken off. The escape route Song Bailu had chosen for herself was one she had reserved in advance. It was her lifeline, so she would naturally hold on to it tightly and wouldn't let go. What's more, what she said was not wrong. If she was left alone to live, the probability of her death would be very high. Both mental and external factors accounted for a large proportion. At the same time, although it was not my wish, she might be pregnant with my child.

To sum up, her argument is valid. Sending her away would mean leaving her dead in the wilderness, and there might even be two deaths.

Yunwen couldn't help but sigh when she saw me in a dilemma. She probably had the same idea as me, so in order to make things smooth for me and not embarrass me, she said, "Forget it. Yingchun just died, and we don't want everyone in the team to die one by one, so let you go this time."

I took a deep breath, knowing that some troubles cannot be easily shaken off, so I said, "Well, even if you succeed and you win, I will let you go back for now. But I have to say this in advance, you will have a share of food and clothing, as for other aspects, don't even think about it. In addition, I also tell you that things that are gained through conspiracy will never last long."

After that, the meeting was over. Yunwen and I packed up the meat left here. There were about four large pieces of decomposed bison meat, two deer legs, seven large fish, and three killer crab legs. As for the others, some were rotten and some were smelly. We could only throw them into the wild to be digested by animals that could eat them.

After wrapping it in a bed sheet, he tied it to Sanfu and asked him to carry it. He also took back all the old things, including two silver plates, two silver spoons, and a cashmere blanket. As for the rest, they were all Terry Buck's relics, full of the evil of the Black Phantom Organization, so he ignored them.

After everything was packed up and the dog days were over, the three of us led the horses back. Along the way, Song Bailu kept looking back, thinking about her sister, but the house was empty and things had changed, so there was nothing to be nostalgic about.

This time when I went back, it seemed like I was leaving a person and ending a struggle, but at the same time I also felt that a new journey was just beginning, and that pressure was surging in my heart, although there had been no signs of it yet.
