Chapter 151 Sending Letters
My muscles twitched involuntarily and the slightest movement made me feel as if all the strength was drained from my body and cold sweat broke out unconsciously.
"Go back and take a closer look. Don't move now." Shang Wan did not expose his bravado, but his expression turned a little colder.
She tore off the hem of her skirt, and simply wrapped up Lu Chengjing's right arm and hung it around her neck.
Hearing Shang Wan's tone was wrong, Lu Chengjing grabbed her wrist and said softly: "I'm fine."
Shang Wan rolled his eyes at him, said "Don't move" and went to dig the hole.
Feeding the corpses to the wolves is just talk. If these wolves get used to eating human flesh, it will be troublesome if they sneak into the village.
After burying the man in black, Shang Wan took the weapon from Chu Xu and used the excuse of hiding it in the wolf's den, but actually quietly put it into the space.
Shang Wan said: "I have buried fifteen bodies in total. How many men in black are there who besieged you?"
Shitou said, "I didn't count carefully, but there are definitely more than fifteen."
Shang Wan looked at Lu Chengjing. Lu Chengjing closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then said slowly, "There are nineteen people in total, including the peddler, a total of twenty people."
"Tsk, four of them ran away." Shang Wan poked a hole in the ground with his fingers.
Chu Xu asked nervously, "Are they coming again?"
Shang Wan looked at him and said, "That depends on how valuable you are in their eyes."
Chu Xu immediately regretted being lazy during his previous practice.
Shang Wan patted the mud off his hands and stood up, saying to everyone, "It's not a good idea to stay in the wolf's den all the time, let's go back first."
Everyone recovered some strength. Shang Wan picked up Xiaohuan, Shitou and Lu Chengjing supported each other, and Chu Xu held Yuanyuan, and the group found a way down the mountain.
Yuanyuan slept unexpectedly well and showed no signs of waking up even when being carried by everyone.
Chu Xu raised his hand and poked her chubby cheeks. His father and brother always said that he was carefree. They should come and see Yuanyuan. He could sleep soundly even when being chased. This was what it meant to be truly carefree.
On the way down the mountain, Shang Wan briefly explained what happened over there.
"There are two groups of people now. The one who kidnapped the child and set fire to Gao's house should be the same group. As for the fisherman, I don't know if he is from the assassin's side or the one who kidnapped the child."
……
There was a group of people standing in front of the wooden shed, and Shang Wan heard a familiar voice.
She put Xiaohuan down and asked Lu Chengjing and Shitou to hide and not go out. It would be difficult to explain her current miserable state.
She looked down at herself, and apart from the fact that her skirt was missing a bit, there was nothing wrong with her.
Chu Xu's condition was not too bad. Although his clothes were messy, at least there was no blood on his body.
"Anian, come with me." Shang Wan walked out holding Yuanyuan, and Chu Xu hurriedly followed.
The two men approached the woodshed as if nothing had happened.
Standing in the wooden shed were people from the Li, Wu and Cui families. They came to thank Shang Wan for finding their children.
Shang Wan accepted the thank-you gift. The group of people were not in a hurry to leave and stayed there chatting with Shang Wan.
Wu Mingli looked around and asked in confusion, "Why is there blood on the ground?"
"It's chicken blood. We didn't tie up the chicken properly when we killed it just now, and the chicken's neck was cut and it was flying everywhere." Shang Wan smiled, "It's all over the place, and we haven't had time to clean it up yet."
When she returned home, she saw a man's dead body. Fortunately, she threw the body into the cellar, otherwise it would have been terrible if these people saw it.
After a few more small talk, Shang Wan made the excuse that he needed to clean the house and told everyone to do as they pleased.
Everyone was not unaware of the euphemistic words of dismissal, and they all said they had unfinished work at home and left.
After everyone had left, Shang Wan turned around and picked up Xiaohuan. Shitou supported Lu Chengjing and they walked home together.
Chu Xu had already put Yuanyuan on the bed and covered the sleeping little one with a small blanket.
Shang Wan came in holding Xiao Huan, "Anian, take Yuan Yuan to my place to sleep."
She had to carefully check Xiaohuan's injuries here.
"Okay." Chu Xu agreed, picked up Yuanyuan with the blanket and moved to another place.
Cleaning the wounds, applying medicine and bandaging them, there were three more injured people in the house and Shang Wan was busy all the time.
Chu Xu wanted to help, but the young master didn't know how to take care of people and had never done any work, so the help he could provide was very limited.
His own injuries had not yet healed fully, and he had been running for so long, he was shocked and scared. Although the child tried hard not to show it, Shang Wan couldn't really pretend not to know.
If Chu Xu also fell down, she would have to take care of one more person. After thinking about it, she rushed the children to accompany Yuanyuan and called her if there was any abnormality.
Two hours had passed after the wounded were treated. Shang Wan leaned against the door to rest for a while and began to deal with the traces of fighting and bloodstains around him.
She dealt with these things quickly. After that, she ran to the cellar and moved the body out.
He was in a hurry to rescue people in the mountains and didn't look carefully when he threw the body away. But now, after taking a closer look, Shang Wan discovered that the peddler's figure was similar to that of the fisherman.
Could it be that this guy is the fisherman?
She searched on the peddler's body and in the two baskets he carried, and actually found some fishing lines and fish hooks. They all looked used, and there were some dried meat scraps on the fish hooks.
However, the appearance of this corpse is not like those Xixia people, but more like those of the Great Zhou people.
Shang Wan turned the body over, cut open the clothes on the back, and exposed the entire back.
There is a tiger head tattoo on the right shoulder blade.
Shang Wan stared at the tattoo for a moment and found that it was indeed the same as the ones on the shoulders of the men in black.
The personal guards are considered confidants. The generals of Western Xia should not choose people from the Great Zhou when selecting their personal guards, right?
After thinking for a while, she shouted, "Anian, come out!"
"Here I come!" Chu Xu heard the voice and ran out, squatting next to Shang Wan.
"Do you think this person looks like a Xixia person?" Shang Wan turned the face of the corpse over so that Chu Xu could see it more clearly.
"No." Chu Xu had seen the peddler's face before and answered with certainty.
Shang Wan gestured for him to look at the tiger head tattoo on the back of the corpse, "How do you explain this?"
"How could it be?" Chu Xu's cat-like eyes widened slightly and he said in a lost voice, "Impossible!"
General Hu Wei hated the people of the Great Zhou the most, and they had the bad habit of abusing prisoners. How could he allow a person from the Great Zhou to be his personal guard?
Shang Wan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said to him, "You'd better inform your father and brother about this."
Chu Xu glanced at her, "Will you help me deliver the letter?"
Shang Wan closed the clothes on the back of the corpse and said, "There are three injured people at home. I have to stay and take care of them. If those assassins come again, can you handle it?"
Chu Xu...of course not.
But the letter can only be delivered by someone you trust.
Shang Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you write an encrypted letter? The kind that only you and your father can understand, and no one else can understand. Even if it is intercepted, no one will know what is written in the letter. Can you?"
Chu Xu blinked blankly. Shang Wan knew there was no hope when she saw his expression. She had only asked casually and didn't hold out any hope.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xu nodded at her.
"I can write, but only my brother can understand it."
This is a little game that my brother often plays with him.
