Chapter 1648: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 1648: I Want to Find Someone
Tao Qin wanted to argue, but when she looked up, she found everyone glaring at her with anger.
Even the Tao Shi coldly stared at her, not saying a word for her.
She was stunned and broke down in tears instantly, saying, "It's not my fault. Why do you blame me? I want to go home, I want to go back..."
Shu Yu said, "Can we shut her up?"
A woman nearby immediately grabbed a foul-smelling cloth and covered her mouth without hesitation. Tao Qin wanted to struggle, but her hands and feet were tied with ropes, rendering her immobile.
After struggling for a while, her wound reopened, causing excruciating pain and cold sweat.
The people couldn't just watch her bleed to death. An aunt nearby frowned, pulled her aside, and pulled up the curtain to re-bandage her wound.
However, her force was not gentle, and Tao Qin was both shocked and furious, feeling pain all over, and she fainted shortly after.
With the quiet restored, the crowd looked at Meng Yunzheng again, "So what do we do now?"
Meng Yunzheng said, "I want to find someone."
He suspected that his father might already know the whereabouts of his younger uncle but couldn't rescue him, which is why he hasn't come back.
Since he has come to Chenggu County, he can't just wait idly.
Shu Yu reached out and held him, "I'll accompany you."
"It's already late today, let's do it tomorrow. I'll go too," Gao Shu immediately said, "The county is under curfew at night, and anyone who goes out at night will be treated as a night bandit and arrested. Let's wait until tomorrow morning."
Meng Yunzheng and the others arrived in the evening, and now it's getting dark soon, so it's not suitable for action.
Besides, it's pitch dark at night, making it impossible to search for people.
Moreover, after several days of traveling, even Meng Yunzheng is exhausted and needs rest, or else they might mess up things.
So he nodded, "Alright, let's go early tomorrow. But Gao Shu, you don't need to go. There are still many people here, and we don't know if those bandits will come again. If they do, you can take care of everyone here."
Gao Shu thought for a moment, looked at the forty or so people in the secret room, and finally nodded in agreement.
Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had a simple meal and rested. Meng Qi had separated a corner for them and used shelves from the secret room to create a barrier.
Given the limited conditions, they couldn't do much else.
Everyone present was either a caravan guard or their family members. When they occasionally went out, they acted cautiously. In special circumstances like this, safety was more important than anything else.
Everyone was very considerate, knowing that they were tired, and they didn't make any noise, quietly drinking water and eating.
Shu Yu was indeed very tired and fell asleep soon.
One by one, the others also took a rest, leaving only the ones responsible for guarding during the night who remained awake.
Perhaps it was because Meng Yunzheng had arrived, everyone inexplicably felt relieved, making this night particularly peaceful.
Especially for Meng Han and Meng Qi, the two young teenagers. Seeing Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu, it was as if they had found a backbone and were no longer anxious and uneasy.
For this night, they both finally managed to get a good night's sleep.
In the corner, Tao Qin woke up in the middle of the night but didn't dare to speak. She silently shed tears, knowing that no one here would sympathize or pity her. At this moment, all she wanted was to go home and see her parents, but she had no idea where her family had gone and left no message.
