Xiushui closed her eyes tightly, she didn't dare to look, but she couldn't help trembling.
However, the clothes did not tear, and there was a sound coming from the side.
The hot and sticky feeling on her palm scared her so much that she opened her eyes.
What he met was Mo Yunwen's distressed eyes, and Wu Zhong's head fell to the side...
…
The next day, Xiushui woke up and cooked as usual.
I heard someone screaming.
"Oh no! Lord Wu has been beheaded."
She trembled and looked at Mo Yunwen with concern.
The latter gave her a reassuring smile and handed her a bowl of porridge.
"Eat more. I made some cold-mixed ground clematis. Although it's bitter, it's very good for your eyes and heart."
Xiushui nodded softly and really wanted to ask him, how could you be so calm? You chopped off the thief's head last night. How did you plan it?
Thinking about how Mo Yunwen chopped off Wu Zhong's head last night, his first reaction was that Wu Zhong's blood had stained her.
I wiped her for a long time, hugged her and whispered in her ear, saying don't worry, everything will be handled.
Then, after she came back, she actually slept well all night, even though she knew that this man must have given her some medicine to help her fall asleep.
But she didn't hate him. Instead, she was worried about how he would handle the situation today.
Everyone who heard the news of Wu Zhong's death rushed to his tent.
Xiushui followed closely behind, and through the lifted corner of the tent, she could see the broken body inside.
Wu Zhong's body had been gnawed away until only a few broken bones remained.
"Master Wu, what happened?"
Someone asked tremblingly, while Lord Wu, with a serious face, led his men to check the scene.
"These footprints look like they were attacked by wolves."
"Lord Wu insisted on setting up his tent here last night, saying it was to avoid being disturbed. Who knew that he would encounter something like this while being away from us?"
Some people were amazed, while Xiushui looked at Mo Yunwen deeply.
Why did Wu Zhong set up the tent here? Of course he wanted to kill them and humiliate her.
But because of this, no one knows how he died last night.
"Lord Wu was attacked by a wild wolf and then mauled to death. Oh, how unexpected."
Lord Wu sighed and ordered his men to collect Wu Zhong's clothes and some of his personal belongings and hand them over to the two bailiffs that Wu Zhong usually subdued.
"I'm handing these things over to Wu Zhong's family. As the captain of the escort team, I'm also very sad about what happened. However, it happened, and we can't offer anything other than a little sympathy to the family."
The two followers were confused at this moment. How could their leader die just like that?
Also, why was it only Lord Wu who was taken away, while no one else encountered these problems?
While I was still wondering, I heard someone exclaiming not far away.
"Sir, this is terrible! Aunt Ru and her daughter were also bitten to death. Oh my god, they died so tragically. Two other people also disappeared with them."
Wu Jiecha's heart trembled when he heard this.
Mo Yunwen interrupted at the right time.
"Sir, although we are not far from the town, this place is also close to the mountains. This means that there may be wolves in such places.
They only took away a few people yesterday. Who knows if there will be a large pack of wolves approaching? If our group encounters a pack of wolves..."
He didn't need to explain in detail, Wu Yacha's face also looked grim.
He stared closely at the two followers of Wu Yacha.
"Are you still going to help Wu Zhong pack up or are you leaving right away?"
Although those two were followers, they were only there for the money and benefits.
Now that Wuzhong is gone, they must think about their future.
Besides, if we really encounter a pack of wolves...
"Sir, let's get on the road quickly."
"Okay, let's get going."
Wu Zhong died, and with him died Aunt Ru, Fang Hongmei, and two other men who loved to bully the weak.
These five people were all torn beyond recognition by wild beasts.
For the next two days, everyone was busy getting on the road.
The old men, women and naughty kids who usually howled a few words were unusually quiet these past few days. They obeyed orders and did whatever they were told to do.
It was not until three days later, when, under the leadership of Mo Yunwen, they found a large area of edible mushrooms and killed a wild boar, that the group of exiles regained some energy.
"Mom, it's time to eat meat."
"Sister, Dad, it's time to eat meat. You can have mushroom and pork soup later."
Yanhong also ran happily to Xiushui and Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang smiled comfortably and touched his son's head.
"Well, thank you, Brother Yunwen."
"Dad, is Yunwen going to be my brother-in-law? I want him to be my brother-in-law."
Yanhong whispered to Mr. Fang.
Mr. Fang's eyes fell on the black slave who was following his daughter closely, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"Yanhong, aren't you afraid that one day our family will be rehabilitated and you can take the imperial examination, while others will laugh at your sister for marrying a black slave? After all, Mo Yunwen's identity is ultimately that of a slave."
"Dad, you're wrong. Brother Yunwen was sold to our family as a living indenture, not a death indenture. Besides, we can redress his wrongdoing and then remove his slavery."
"Son, Dad knows, but he was once a slave in our family for several years, and that is an indisputable fact.
In the future, your enemies will use this to attack you, saying that your sister found such a slave and mocking and attacking you..."
"Why should I care about their criticism and ridicule? Who knows what life will be like?
Back then I was the eldest son of the Fang family, but now I am just a fugitive on the road of exile.
If it weren't for Brother Yunwen, we would have died long ago. If I look down on him just because he was once a slave, and think he has lost our identity, then am I still a human being?
What's more, the child feels that if people care too much about other people's opinions and views, they can only live the way others want them to.
I am who I am. I, Fang Yanhong, will not look down on my sister and the relatives she cares about because of external factors..."
Mr. Fang looked at his son with satisfaction and finally touched his head.
"My dear son, you have grown up and become sensible. You and your sister are both great. Dad is proud to have you and your sister."
Fang Yanhong chuckled foolishly, looking at his sister and future brother-in-law who were getting along harmoniously, and just hoped that they would continue on their journey together.
What he didn't know was that the atmosphere between the two people, whom he thought got along harmoniously, was actually a bit depressing.
"You gave them some animal-madness drug, didn't you?"
"Xiushui, are you afraid of me?"
When Mo Yunwen saw the purple bruises under the little cutie's eyes, his heart ached. After all, she hadn't recovered all her memories, so she couldn't understand what he had done.
Perhaps in her opinion, she was too cruel to those people!
"No, I just hate that you took my medicine even though you knew this method. You're playing a trick on me."
