Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 97
Just as his mouth was thirsty, Wen Shu got up and picked some clean fruits from the low branches and tasted them.

The pulp is relatively soft, and the taste is neither sour nor sweet, but it is both sweet and sour, which is not bad anyway.

However, this fruit has no water content, and a handful of more than a dozen of them did not relieve her symptoms of thirst.Fortunately, it was less than 10 minutes away from going out at this time, it was still possible to endure.

So Wen Shu hurriedly untied the burden on his back, took out all the small jacket, jacket and cotton trousers in the burden, threw them on the grass beside him, and then quickly picked up the scattered fruits on the ground. into the furoshiki.

Although there are still some clean and unpicked fruits on the nearby branches, Wen Shu, who has been used to thrift since she was a child, still can't see such waste. Even if these fruits are not from her family, and the fruit trees are not planted by her hard work, she is also reluctant .

While complaining about the waste of those two "savages" in her heart, she didn't stop moving her hands.After a while, in about 2 minutes, the fruit on the ground was cleaned up by her.

It's just that the fruit that seems to have fallen all over the ground occupies less than half of the place in the furoshiki.

Wen Shu stood up and cast her eyes on the unpicked fruits on the branches. A pair of delicate and white hands moved on the branches, and she gathered more than a dozen fruits in her palms and threw them into the bag.

But after picking it for 2 minutes, she realized something was wrong.

No, this speed is too slow!
Even though she picked it non-stop, but after 2 minutes, the fruit when it was loaded into the bag was less than one-third of the fruit that was picked from the ground just now.

At this time, she suddenly understood that those fruits may not have fallen naturally, but were deliberately dropped by wild people on the ground for the convenience of picking them up.

As for why they didn't pick it up in the end, she thought, maybe they were scared by her.

After figuring out the joints, she chose the main branch and shook it after grabbing it.The branches trembled, and then countless small red fruits fell from the branches like rain.

Afterwards, she pulled it nearly nine times in the same manner, and in an instant, the green grass was covered with a layer of red.

At this time, there were only 5 minutes left before the teleportation time, and Wen Shu was not greedy, so he quickly squatted down and began to collect the fruits. Because the places where the fruits were scattered were still concentrated, it was not too laborious to collect them.

Another 2 minutes passed, and the first furoshiki was already full. After knotting the furoshiki and putting it aside, she took another empty furoshiki and continued to pack the fruit.

Just when she was trying hard to collect the fruit, she didn't know that there were two black shadows approaching quietly behind her.
[Beep—alarm, alert, there are only 3 minutes left before the teleportation time, the countdown starts now]

The sudden voice gave Wen Shu a pause, and then he couldn't help becoming more anxious, because there were still many fruits in front of her.

Because of her impatience and the system's continuous countdown in her mind, Wen Shu didn't notice the movement behind her at all.

When [-]% of the fruits on the ground have been collected and the two bags are full, the countdown in my mind has entered the final stage.

[ten, nine, eight, seven]

After quickly knotting the two bundles and carrying them on her back, Wen Shu hurriedly turned her head to get the clothes to put on, but after looking at them, she found that there were no clothes on the ground!

She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes quickly swept forward, and sure enough, not far down the slope, two black shadows were running forward rapidly, and a piece of clothing was exposed in the trembling bamboo basket behind her back.

It's those two savages!

Wen Shu was in a hurry and was about to chase after her to grab the clothes back, but she forgot the time.With the beep of the system, a white light flashed, and her eyes went black.
When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the room.

The strong temperature difference made her tremble uncontrollably in only her underwear, and then she was enveloped by a great grief.

Five hundred words!Her clothes worth five hundred Wen just disappeared!

She only wore it twice!
Thinking of those two savages who stole clothes, Wen Shu wanted to go in and beat them up.It's just that it takes another day for the iron box to enter again, and after entering, it may not be able to land on the mountain just now, let alone those two savages.

Just when she was anxiously thinking about what to wear tomorrow, on the other side of the mountainside, Lu Yuancheng stood in front of the stone pile, looked at Mr. Peng who was tied to the stone pile by five flowers, and said with a half-smile: "It turned out to be the brother-in-law of Hejian Mansion Wang Tongju. It's strange that he is so bold."

Peng Qi's hands were tied behind his back, seeing that all the people he brought were restrained by the other party's guards, he knew that there was no hope of escape, and said with a smile: "You don't need to ask, Mr. Lu, that's right, Miss Lu was tied up by me." Since the one who went up the mountain has fallen into your hands, I also know that there is nothing to be done, whether it is killing or cutting, I will let you know."

Lu Yuancheng sneered, and stared straight at him, "Master Peng thought it was too easy to want to die so soon. Tell me, who ordered you?"

Hearing this, Peng Qi was a little taken aback, and then said disdainfully: "There is no secret, me."

But before he finished speaking, he saw that the person opposite had already kicked his kick straight towards his chest.

"Pfft", severe pain, accompanied by blood spray from the mouth, Peng Qi's eyes blurred.

Lu Yuancheng bent down with a sneer, stared at the person in front of him, and said word by word: "Is there any instigation behind your back? You have a clear mind. I know what you are worried about. If you refuse to tell the truth, I will take care of your concerns right now." I can help you solve it!"

Hearing this, Peng Qi's face immediately turned pale, and the originally fearless expression had turned into fear.Lu Yuancheng is threatening him with his family!
"On the other hand, if you tell the truth, one person does the work and the other person is responsible, the disaster will not hurt the family, and I will not go into it." Just when he was horrified, the person opposite added another sentence.

Peng Qi showed hesitation and stammered, "Really? "

Lu Yuancheng looked at him coldly, "I always do what I say, and do you think you still have a choice?"

Yes, he has no choice!
Peng Qi's face was ashen. Whether he said it or not, the other party already knew his identity.If he really wanted to take revenge on his family, his brother-in-law might not be able to protect him with the power of the Marquis of Weiyuan.

If he had known earlier that he shouldn't have listened to that girl Wanxin's words, at this moment Peng Qi was about to regret it!
After hesitating for a moment, in the end it was his wife and children that were more important, so Peng Qi gritted his teeth and told the mastermind behind the scenes.

Lu Yuancheng was quite surprised when he heard this, "Wang Wanxin? The eldest daughter of Wang Tongpan of Hejian Mansion, why does she want to have trouble with Wan'er?"

Three years ago, when he went to Cangzhou to visit his grandmother, he passed by Hanoi Mansion, and saw her from a distance. She looked very gentle, how could it be?
"She is for the third son of the Uncle Anping's family" At this time, Peng Qi has nothing to say.

Lu Yuancheng frowned slightly, "Duan Qinying, what does this matter have to do with him?"

"Three years ago, Mr. Duan San passed by Hanoi Mansion on a study tour. For some reason, he saw my niece right away."

Following Peng Qi's narration, Lu Yuancheng gradually sorted out the ins and outs of the whole matter.

To sum it up, when Duan Qinying passed by the Hejian Mansion three years ago, she met Wang Wanxin, the queen of Wang Tongjue, for some reason. After that, Wang Wanxin wanted to marry Duan Qinying, but Duan Qinying knew that she had a marriage contract, so she decided to marry her. He refused, and told Wang Wanxin about his marriage and who the other party was.

Wang Wanxin has a deep-rooted love for Duan Qinying, and she can't get it, so she wants to get rid of Wan'er and replace him.

She knew that Wan'er would go back to Cangzhou to visit relatives at this time of year, so she begged her uncle Peng Qi early in the morning to stop him on the way.

She thought that as long as the news of Wan'er being captured by bandits spread, Uncle Anping would definitely take the initiative to dissolve the engagement, and the Hou Mansion would not be able to say anything at that time, and she would be able to marry Duan Qinying as she wished.

Really good calculation!
It's just that Lu Yuancheng's younger sister is so easy to bully!

Thinking of the tragic ending of his sister's previous life, Lu Yuancheng's face turned cold instantly.

Later, when Wei Wei came over to ask how to deal with Peng Qi, he looked at the dark mountains in the distance, his eyes were darker than the night, and he said two words coldly, "Kill him!"
