Chapter 66 Can't you just... avoid suspicion?
Yu Tingwan was in a daze.
So, Baihu got her into the pit in the first place so that she would stay there and wait for it to come back?
She felt like everything was a dream. But she pinched herself and it hurt.
The girl walked very carefully with the backpack full of things on her back, and she did not forget to look back at Baihu's expression halfway.
After knowing that it was not a joke, she took bigger steps, and soon ran without fear of falling.
This time, Fu Meng did not chase after her and pin her down.
It watched Yu Tingwan leave until the girl disappeared from sight.
Yu Tingwan stumbled all the way, and her cotton coat was scratched by thorns, leaving several long cuts.
It made her feel distressed.
Although the cotton coat was not fitting and not very warm, she only had one.
Snow got into the cotton coat and melted into water during the movement, freezing her to death.
But Yu Tingwan didn't care about that.
————
The head of the village also made up his mind at this time, and asked all the villagers to be alert.
He asked people to invite hunters from several nearby villages to come, and organized the young and strong men in the village to patrol the path leading to the foot of the mountain in three companies.
One group during the day, another group at night.
The next day there was a new second group.
And so on.
No one dared to complain, after all, the head of the village's grandson took the lead.
If someone patrolled, they could tip off the villagers. If there were really wild animals coming down the mountain, the villagers would know in advance and hide in the cellar.
Everyone had sad faces and was worried. But they had to cheer up and go back to settle their families.
Several grandsons of the head of the village carried bows and arrows and walked towards the foot of the mountain. The older ones advised their two younger brothers.
"Second brother, your child is still young, and the third brother hasn't married yet. Later, you two should stand farther away and don't get too close. I'll just go to the foot of the mountain. If something really happens, I'll shout. Don't worry about anything else, just run back and tell the villagers."
He was also afraid, but he and Wei Qintian were not the same kind of people. He knew that the elder brother had to take the lead when something happened.
As soon as he finished speaking, the third brother pointed to the front in astonishment.
"Brother, look!"
He was so scared that he thought it was a tiger and turned around to look.
It was far away and it was not very clear.
But there was a person!
Yu Tingwan didn't dare to rest on the way and ran all the way back to the Wei family.
Her bones seemed to be soaked by the cold wind, and every finger turned into an ice cluster. She shivered her shoulders, and her breath condensed into white mist, and she didn't forget to close the door of the Wei family tightly.
Hui Niang chased out after hearing the sound, her eyes were already swollen from crying.
She was stunned: "Wan Niang."
Seeing her like this, Yu Tingwan fell into great grief.
Did Wei Shen die!
Otherwise, why is my mother crying!
Yu Tingwan's legs slipped and she was about to fall, but Hui Niang came over and pulled her tightly into her arms.
She hugged the girl's fragile body tightly, as if she was afraid that it was just a dream and the girl would disappear if she let go: "I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Her voice was hoarse.
It was obviously Yu Tingwan who was cold, but Hui Niang was shaking more violently than her.
Yu Tingwan patted Hui Niang's back hesitantly.
"Mom, I've been fine all the time."
Hui Niang had experienced great sorrow and joy, and now she couldn't get enough of looking at the girl.
Seeing that her little face was dirty and her whole body was wet, she couldn't hide the pain on her face.
Even though she had a lot of questions to ask, she suppressed them all.
Hui Niang concealed her heartache and took the girl into the house. So much so that Yu Tingwan didn't even have the chance to show the backpack.
"You are soaked through, you must be frozen. Go in quickly and take off your clothes, I will boil some hot water for you to soak in, otherwise you will catch a cold."
As soon as Yu Tingwan entered the house, Hui Niang waved to Yue Shan, took her away and closed the door.
Her cotton coat was wet, and so were the clothes inside.
Wei Zhao had been watching her since she came in, but his brows were deeply knitted.
He had expected that Yu Tingwan would be frightened, and at that time he thought it would be good to teach her a lesson. She
would not be so stupid to be so open-hearted to others in the future.
This world is harsh on women, but people should not be divided into high and low.
No matter how loving a couple is, there will be conflicts.
Wei Zhao has witnessed too many betrayals.
The girl came to this world not to become someone's wife, daughter-in-law or mother.
She can read and distinguish right from wrong, which is far more beautiful than spring.
Yu Tingwan should please herself.
Be nicer to herself and value herself more.
Then she will not be hurt or disappointed.
Without too many worries, this life will be smooth.
But now she looks so disheveled, with messy hair, wrinkled cotton coat, and dirt on her face.
She looks like she has fled from famine.
Wei Zhao felt uncomfortable for a while.
This complex emotion made Wei Zhao very unhappy.
The couple's eyes met.
Yu Tingwan smiled at him: "I'm back."
Wei Zhao did not respond.
Yu Tingwan was too cold, and she did not avoid people. She quickly unbuttoned and took off her cotton coat.
Her eyes were bright: "Husband, do you know what I brought back!"
Wei Zhao did not want to know.
"The wild ginseng I brought back is as thick as an arm! Are you happy?"
Yu Tingwan was very excited when she thought of this: "There are still many medicinal herbs, and they look quite old."
"I don't believe it, this can't save your life."
She thought Wei Shen was halfway alive!
With that basket of medicinal herbs, he could just take any one and sell it, and he wouldn't have to worry about not having money to treat his illness.
Wei Zhao:...
That's really bad news.
Maybe it was because she was home, the panic that had been raised in the girl's throat was suppressed, and she felt particularly at ease.
She was even a little swollen.
"You may not believe what I've been through!"
Wei Zhao:...
Yu Tingwan continued to take off her clothes.
"I met a tiger!"
"It looks as scary as others say!"
Yu Tingwan: "But I just don't understand why there is such a big pit in the mountains. The outside world can only catch rabbits and pheasants at most. Even hunters can't set such a big trap."
Wei Zhao's lips moved: "I understand."
His tone was very calm: "That was dug for me." It would be easier to bury if he
really died.
Yu Tingwan: ...
She was immersed in her own thoughts: "There was also a small pit, where he was lying. Are the beasts nowadays so particular?"
Yes, they all have their own beds.
Fu Meng just wanted to try the feeling of being buried. The small size was too small, and it felt crowded.
So the pit it prepared for Wei Zhao became bigger and bigger.
Fortunately, Yu Tingwan didn't dwell on it anymore: "You may not believe it, those medicinal herbs were all sent by it!"
Wei Zhao: ...
So annoying.
Fu Meng needs to be cleaned up again.
Yu Tingwan threw the clothes to the ground one by one.
The girl's face was pale, and her body was even whiter.
Everything was just right.
Wei Zhao was caught off guard. He never thought that she had taken off only her bellyband from her upper body, and quickly turned her back. Facing the wall, his voice was tense and unnatural: "Can't you... avoid suspicion?"
Yu Tingwan was puzzled. She didn't mind. What did Wei Shen mind!
She blinked: "I am willing to show it to my husband."
