Chapter 398 How could you kill someone?
Despite Qiao Manman's secret help, the wildfire was not as easy to extinguish as expected.
They worked from morning till night, and staff came in batches, but they still couldn't completely extinguish the fire.
The good thing is that there were no casualties. Even those who were injured received immediate treatment, preventing serious consequences.
As darkness fell, Qiao Manman rummaged through the talismans in her spatial storage, crushing them all towards the mountain fire, regardless of their usefulness.
Seeing her so extravagant, the system quickly advised, "That's enough, that's enough, you can't be so wasteful!"
Qiao Manman sighed: "I'm anxious, so I'm spending money to buy peace of mind!"
Seeing this, the system didn't try to persuade her further. Of course, Qiao Manman also stopped making talismans.
After circling around and taking care of some personal matters, I looked up at the mountain in the distance.
The flames were only a few hundred meters away, but the smoke and dust were so thick that they could be felt even in the dark.
Qiao Manman looked up, clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed: "I hope the wildfire can be extinguished tonight, and I hope Lu Yuan and the other comrades can return safely!"
Just as she finished thinking, Xia Zhao's voice came: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Nothing much, just bored, so I thought I'd indulge in some idealism!"
Xia Zhao didn't understand, but thought it was very impressive.
He stood quietly by her side watching the wildfire, and chatted with her about gossip when she was bored, being a good listener.
The two were relaxed and at ease, with a sense of urgency, but not much.
Meng Peiyu on the other side was completely different; she was incredibly nervous.
"Are you all ready? If you are, let's go!"
Actually, there's not much to prepare; they don't have much luggage and can just pack and go.
Meng Peiyu and Meng Hongsheng are both injured and cannot walk for long periods of time.
Having no other option, Sang Sheng stole an oxcart from a nearby village to transport them.
The two sat on the oxcart, one excited, the other bewildered.
Meng Guohao took a couple of steps, then, feeling tired, climbed up as well.
Meng Peiyu was jolted back to her senses by his foot pressing down on her: "Mom, Linyu, you two come up too!"
Without a second thought, Liang Fanqi sat down next to Meng Hongsheng.
Meng Linyu hesitated: "No need, sister. We're in a hurry. If I go up, I'll slow us down."
Meng Peiyu was seething with anger and couldn't vent it, so she said in a rather unpleasant tone: "Are you walking faster, or is an old ox running faster? You're dawdling and never get going. If you don't want to sit, then get out!"
Meng Linyu trembled and hurriedly got into the car. She huddled timidly in the corner, not daring to utter a single word.
Meng Peiyu looked at the distant wildfires: "We don't have much time left."
"Don't be afraid, my dear. You've always been lucky. This time, we'll escape alive too!"
Meng Peiyu ignored him and asked Sang Sheng half an hour later, "How much further?"
"It will take another two or three hours to get to the county!" This doesn't even include the time they would spend avoiding checkpoints and taking back roads.
"If you're sleepy, Miss, why don't you lie down and take a nap in the car? I'll wake you up when we arrive!"
Meng Peiyu nodded and lay down on the package to doze off.
As for the cow dung stuck to the cart floor, she no longer cared about it after learning about the embarrassing situation she had experienced the day she fainted.
Perhaps still suffering from the aftereffects of pesticide poisoning, Meng Peiyu fell asleep not long after.
With Sang Sheng around, no one else dared to speak out of turn.
Even though his buttocks ached from being jostled around in the oxcart, he only dared to rub them discreetly.
Two hours passed slowly, and Meng Hongsheng asked, "Comrade Sang, how much further?"
"Almost there!" Sang Sheng had just finished speaking when he saw someone standing guard ahead.
It was the middle of the night, and if it weren't for the man's watch reflecting the moonlight and dazzling him, he wouldn't have noticed that the other person was hiding in the bushes.
"Miss, it seems like someone's here!" Sang Sheng stopped the car, woke Meng Peiyu up, and reported to her.
Meng Peiyu said impatiently, "Do I have to teach you how to take a detour or solve the problem?"
Sang Sheng looked around; there was no village or shop in sight, making it a perfect place to make his move.
After hesitating for a moment, he pulled a piece of clothing over Meng Peiyu and Meng Hongsheng, and hurried forward in the carriage, only to be stopped as expected.
"What are you doing?" A shout rang out, and two uniformed men jumped out of the bushes, one of them carrying a gun.
Sang Sheng feigned a panicked expression: "Comrade, my father and sister have been bitten by snakes, I'm taking them to the hospital!"
"Where's the letter of introduction? Show it to me!"
"I was in such a rush that I forgot to take it! How about this, I'll have my younger brother go back and get it, is that alright?"
Yue Zhuoqun stepped forward, glanced at the two people lying on the cart, and saw that their eyelids were trembling, so he knew they were faking it.
Just then, a colleague noticed the problem: "Captain, there are exactly six of them!"
Three men and three women, matching the information on the wanted poster.
Yue Zhuoqun thought to himself, "This is bad." Just as he was about to raise his gun, Sang Sheng grabbed his wrist and twisted it downwards.
"Ah!" Yue Zhuoqun let out a pig-like scream, and the gun in his hand fell uncontrollably.
Sang Sheng caught the gun with one hand and pulled the safety pin with the other.
With a "bang," Bo Qiaomu, who hadn't even had time to react, was knocked to the ground; the movement was remarkably swift.
Meng Linyu was terrified: "You, how could you kill someone?"
“If we don’t kill them, we’ll have to go back to jail!” Sang Sheng glared at her fiercely.
Meng Linyu was so frightened that her eyes turned red, and she huddled in a corner, almost crying.
Meng Hongsheng said, "She's still young, Comrade Sang, please don't hold it against her!"
“She is Miss’s sister, so I naturally won’t hold it against her. However, Miss Linyu should think carefully before speaking in the future.”
Meng Linyu nodded: "I understand!"
"You, you really are wanted criminals, you really killed people!"
Yue Zhuoqun's eyes widened, and he pointed at them with his good finger: "Aren't you afraid of being caught and shot?"
Sang Sheng sneered, "You all know we're wanted criminals, yet you still dare to come up and provoke us. Am I stupid, or are you stupid?"
He drew his gun, aimed it at the man's heart, and with a "bang," the man was gone.
"Miss, I'll go deal with the body!" After saying that, she got out of the car and calmly dragged the two people into the bushes.
"Okay!" Meng Peiyu responded.
After thinking for a moment, he got out of the car and followed: "Throw it far away!"
Sang Sheng dragged the person for over a hundred meters, then threw them into the woods: "Alright!"
Meng Peiyu waved her hand: "You go back first, let me see if they have anything useful on them!"
Sang Sheng nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing him walk away, Meng Peiyu reached out and put him into her spatial storage, and then used her consciousness to take out the money and banknotes from their bodies.
Quite unexpected, there were over thirty yuan, and I even found a letter of introduction.
Meng Peiyu chuckled: "It seems that God doesn't intend to kill me."
This is roughly what it means to find a way out of a desperate situation.
He limped back to the car and was carried into it by Sang Sheng.
The group continued walking forward. Apart from Meng Linyu, who was very nervous, the others were quite calm, as if nothing had happened.
Until we left the county town and faced a fork in the road.
One goes to the city, the other to the neighboring county.
Meng Peiyu decisively told them to turn left, and then, before dawn, they found a dilapidated temple to rest.
They dared not light a fire and filled their stomachs with the porridge they had cooked before setting off.
Meng Peiyu ran out of instant noodles, so she could only eat baked snails and live eggs as a snack.
She didn't have diarrhea anymore, but the food made her feel nauseous. She didn't dare look at what she had swallowed.
