After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 390 Burn it

Yao Jiang and his men hid in a cabin, listening to the sounds of fighting outside, and were already trembling with fear.

Everyone covered their ears and held their heads and hid in the corner to make themselves feel safe.

Even when Xia Wanniang opened the door, they were so scared that they closed their eyes and screamed.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me."

"Please don't kill me. I have elderly parents and young children to take care of. Please let us go!"

Xia Wanniang looked at a group of grown men huddled together, frightened and incoherent. She sighed, walked over and patted Yao Jiang on the shoulder.

Yao Jiang was so frightened by the sudden touch that he fell to the ground: "Ah! Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"Brother Yao, Brother Yao." Xia Wanniang was actually startled by him.

Yao Jiang heard the familiar voice and opened his eyes a little uncertainly. When he saw it was her, he glanced back in disbelief, but saw no one else: "Xiao, Madam Xiao, you..."

Seeing that he had calmed down, Xia Wanniang said, "We have killed the pirates. If you have nothing to do, please come out and help us."

Yao Jiang saw her turn around and leave the cabin. It took him a long time to react. He pushed the crew member next to him who was still shouting with his eyes closed: "Stop shouting, it's okay."

Everyone was quite scared at first, but after hearing his roar, they quietly opened their eyes and listened to the sound of fighting outside. They said, "Is everything really alright?"

"I-We survived?"

Yao Jiang nodded, stood up tremblingly, and held on to the table next to him.

His legs were still weak, and he slowly walked out of the cabin.

Yun He and the others still had blood on their swords: "What should we do with these bodies? Throw them all into the river?"

Xia Wanniang originally wanted to leave the boat to Yao Jiang, but she saw too many corpses on the boat. If they were all thrown into the river, it would pollute the water and might even cause an epidemic.

This was not what she wanted to see. The best way was to burn all the bodies.

Yifeng wiped the sweat from his forehead: "It's hard to deal with so many corpses!"

Xia Wanniang looked at the pirates' boat and said, "Throw the bodies onto this boat and set it on fire."

When Yao Jiang and the others came out and saw the corpses all over the ground, they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground again.

Xia Wanniang saw them coming out and said, "Help move all the bodies to their boat. Hurry up."

Although Yao Jiang and his companions were afraid, they also knew that it was impossible to put all the bodies on their boat. They pinched their thighs hard and started to throw the bodies back onto the boat next to them.

Some people were so scared that they retched as they moved.

Chai Song, Aunt Xiao and others who were not injured also came out to help, hoping to get things done as soon as possible.

Yunhe and Yifeng threw one each onto the opposite boat, not caring whether there were corpses on top of each other.

After making sure that nothing was left out, Xia Wanniang jumped onto the opposite boat, took out some oil from their kitchen and poured it on the corpses.

She also added an accelerant when no one was paying attention, greatly increasing the temperature of the flame, which could quickly burn the bodies to ashes.

Yunhe and his companions were afraid that there would not be enough oil, so they took out the oil from their boat and dumped it directly onto the boat next to them.

Xia Wanniang did not let them light the fire directly. With the addition of the combustion aid, the temperature was no joke. It would be better for them to move away first.

Xu Li had a bandage wrapped around his arm: "You're not going to light it?"

Xia Wanniang looked at Yao Jiang and said, "Brother Yao, please start the boat first."

Yao Jiang and the others didn't dare to say anything and immediately turned around to start the boat.

Xia Wanniang tied a piece of cloth to an arrow, dipped it in oil, and asked Yunhe to help light it. She then pulled the bow and shot it towards the boat far behind.

"Boom!" The huge flames scared everyone on the boat.

"Isn't this fire a little too big?" Qingfeng watched the flames rise high and illuminate the surroundings red.

Porphyry swallowed and said, "It seems to be a little too big."

Yifeng blinked his eyes: "Did you put too much oil?"

Xia Wanniang ignored the fire on the ship behind and went back to the cabin to check on the children first.

They were now looking out the door with worry on their faces, and when they saw her coming in, they all asked worriedly, "Mom, did something happen?"
