The two wandered around the barren mountain for a long time, each with their own thoughts. Still unable to find any trace of the wild boar, the man cut off the antelope meat for Tang Xuenan and carried it on his back before returning to the small, dilapidated house.
As soon as he entered the room, the old granny scolded loudly, "Didn't you come back yesterday? Why did you bring Iron Egg out again so early in the morning? He didn't eat breakfast, so what should I do?"
The Golden Eagle Academy Awards came online. "Mom, your son doesn't want to eat pork. Last night, my wife came home late. Today, I had her exchange the lamb for me. Mom, look, there's so much mutton!" His face was covered in sackcloth and he was even drooling.
Tang Xuenan was already used to not being able to support her forehead. As long as he was happy, it would be fine.
My son, don't go out so early in the morning. What do you think if you get cold? Come, let your mother have a look." After a while, she looked at Tang Xuenan with a serious expression. "As a daughter-in-law, why don't you come back at night and inform me?
A certain person giggled foolishly, "Mother, your son pulled my wife last night and did some interesting things."
When the mother-in-law heard this, she opened her eyes wide and whispered, "What's so interesting?"
A burst of giggling laughter resounded from the back and front of his head. "That's right, it's all a matter of my wife's beauty."
Tang Xuenan wanted to go back to her room, but she was helping him, so she insisted on listening.
The old granny quickly asked, "How interesting."
"Interesting. It smells so good." Ye Zichen pointed at his mouth like an idiot.
Tang Xuenan could no longer hold it in. "About that, Mom, let's go back to our room first."
"Mother, my wife and I will continue doing interesting things."
The mother-in-law's face blossomed with laughter. "Alright, stop hurting your body. I'll buy you some porcupine kidney stew to make up for it later." Looks like I'll be able to get a grandson next year.
When he returned to his room, the man's expression changed. He washed the skin of the antelope carefully and put it aside to dry. Then, he pried Tang Xuenan's body apart and took out a scented sachet from his pocket.
"Explain yourself." A cold tone.
Tang Xuenan recognized the scented sachet as the one that the mysterious man had asked her to give to the butcher at the market that night. Since the poison had already been cured, there wouldn't be much of a consequence even if she said it out loud. Moreover, that mysterious man was not a good man, and he would still have to rely on this fake husband of his for a period of time.
Tang Xuenan told him the whole story. When the man opened the scented sachet, an exceptionally strong breath assaulted his nostrils, causing his face to instantly change.
"Big brother, did you use the wrong method?" Tang Xuenan covered her nose. What was this smell? It was too smelly.
"I fell for his trap."
Tang Xuenan was stunned. What plan?
"I don't have much time, so listen carefully." The man lowered his head seriously, looking her in the eye for the first time. His gaze was serious, "My identity will be revealed soon, so I have no choice but to leave this place. Everything in this house will be looted soon, and the idiot I pretended to be will return. You have two choices. "
Tang Xuenan's head spun rapidly as she listened attentively.
"The first is to leave this place. But they would be tracked, and they might even be killed. Second, stay here and tell the truth. Let's just live a good life with idiots. "
Tang Xuenan rolled her eyes secretly. "Number one, Big Brother, are you giving us the sponsorship funds?"
"I don't have any money right now." The man seemed to be speaking the truth as he put on Tang Xuenan's coat, "There's no time, let's go!" There's a carriage waiting for you on the east side of the village.
Tang Xuenan, who was pushed out of the door, tightly wrapped the antelope skin on her body in a daze. She watched as a few afterimages flew past and the man used Lightness Technique to charge towards the figure.
Tang Xuenan did not dare to slight him. "I didn't have the time to ask for his name." With these thoughts in mind, he tried to run east along the wheat path towards the village.
Tang Xuenan was running around in a foreign land by herself. If she did not have the familiar Dispensary System, she would be able to occasionally recall modern times. He ran forward helplessly, as if he was being chased.
She was out of breath. The last time she ran was when she found out that she was dragged into a house by this man to force a marriage. Now, running was the time that she was saved by this man and left him. Since when did she care so much about him?
Will I see him again next time? His martial arts is so strong, but if he beat up these people, he should be fine right? Will he look good after washing off the camouflage on his face? What's his name?
The antelope skin wrapped tightly around his body was perhaps the only memento of the man who had been husband and wife for the past few days. It was also the warmth of being alone in this foreign world.
"Miss Xue." A man in white sat on the carriage and called out to him.
"Se-Young Master Chen Xiang?"
"Miss Xue, please get in the car." The white-clothed youth smiled like a spring breeze as he leisurely pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
With a "drive" sound, the wheels of the carriage rapidly rotated, leaving this village that was destined to not be at peace tonight.
On the other side, the man who was fighting with the other men in black was brandishing a sharp dagger, as if he was reaping the harvest from Hades. With a swift and crisp cut, his cold face showed no emotion as he reaped the lives in front of him.
There was a burst of clapping sounds, "As expected of Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mystery Realm, there is no information that Heavenly Secret Pavilion can't detect, only people who can't afford it."
"Hmph. It's you after all." The man laughed coldly, "Other than you, there are only people who can train their private army in the wilderness."
Laughing lightly, the mysterious person coughed twice. In this slightly cold weather, it was as though the wind was blowing weakly.
The man snorted coldly, "If you're not well, then hide in Queen's blanket more often, so that you don't have to come out!" He guessed that Tang Xuenan must have left the village as well. "Sorry to trouble you!" The Lightness Technique expanded, shrinking the earth by a thousand miles, and quickly left under everyone's watchful eyes.
"As expected of the best man in history with Lightness Technique." The mysterious man waved his hand as he headed towards the small house that Tang Xuenan previously lived in.
"Milord!" "There is only a pockmarked fool and an old woman here."
The mysterious man carefully touched the opened scented sachet, "I didn't expect her to be his person that night, I was too careless." As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped on the scented sachet under his feet and hooked his hand over the Ma Hua Fool's chin, watching as saliva dripped from his mouth. He then ordered indifferently, "Kill everyone in this room, catch up to that woman."
"Yes Sovereign!"
"Mo Bei, you ruined my mission and you still want to protect your own people?" The mysterious man smirked, "How could such a good thing happen?"
On the other side, Tang Xuenan didn't know how long the carriage had been traveling, but looking at the scenery from sunset to nightfall to late at night, she felt like her stomach was about to vomit. However, when he thought about how his fake husband would definitely be standing on the side when the sun went down and instructing his subordinate to save him, he started to treat Young Master Chen Xiang's benefactor a bit lower.
I wonder how it is like to impersonate a husband now.
