605 An Eye for an Eye 5
Miao Yuehua’s mouth was agape in disbelief. It was 500,000 taels. The price had increased by 50 times. This was daylight robbery.
Gui You smiled meaningfully.
How would she choose between her son and money?
Didn’t Miao Yuehua claim that she loved her son as much as her life? Would she choose her son?
“I—”
Miao Yuehua looked like she was in extreme pain. She was covered in injuries, and so was her son. The last thing she had was 500,000 taels. If she were to use it to buy, she would have emptied her pockets. She did not dare to buy it.
If they could sell this divine medicine, others would probably sell it too.
While Miao Yuehua was hesitating, Gui You and Su Xiaolu had already left.
When Gui You and Su Xiaolu came out, Father Xiao, who had already woken up outside, didn’t dare to move and pretended to faint. He didn’t dare to move at all. He couldn’t afford to provoke these gods no matter what.
After Su Xiaolu and Gui You left, he opened his eyes and looked around.
Seeing that the pair had really left, he staggered to his feet. Thinking about how Miao Yuehua treated him so coldly, he walked into the house angrily.
Father Xiao thought that he must divorce Miao Yuehua and chase her out of the house!
But the moment he entered, he was terrified.
Xiao Yi was vomiting. He spat out a large pile of bug fragments all over his body. Some of them even moved.
Father Xiao had never seen such a horrifying scene. He had forgotten to vent his anger and only wanted to escape. He thought that he could not afford to offend a vicious woman like Miao Yuehua. He could just hide. What was there to vent? The most important thing was to quickly escape with the money.
However, Miao Yuehua looked at him coldly and said, “What are you waiting for? Come and carry our son to the bed. If I can’t deal with those two people, can’t I deal with you? If you dare to run, you will die in less than seven days.”
“You, you put insects in me—”
Father Xiao’s voice was stuttering. The world is upside down for him. When he thought about how terrifying the person beside him was, he did not know whether to cry or be angry.
“That’s right. If you don’t listen to me, you’ll die a horrible death.”
Miao Yuehua said viciously.
Father Xiao did not have any backbone or courage. He did not dare to be rash when he heard this. He could only help carry Xiao Yi to the bed.
The insects that Xiao Yi spat out were very disgusting, but fortunately, none of them were complete. Some of them could move, but they only moved twice before they stopped moving. They were disgusting, but they were not harmful.
Xiao Yi had already fainted. He had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were sunken.
After Father Xiao settled Xiao Yi down, Miao Yuehua asked him to help her up. The loving couple in the past felt like strangers today.
“If you’re obedient, I’ll let you live. If you don’t listen, you’ll only die without an intact corpse. Do you hear me? Go out and look for them immediately. See if Old Niu and your son have left Yulin. If you find them, bring them back and keep an eye on them.”
Miao Yuehua ordered Father Xiao. She had always suspected that the master and disciple were the cause of this disaster.
Father Xiao nodded. Thinking of Little Niu, he suddenly felt guilty. That child smiled so brightly at him and trusted him so much, but he…
However, the mother and son whom he had treated with sincerity had treated him like this. Now, he even had to harm that child. Father Xiao felt very upset. He was a weak person. He was afraid of Miao Yuehua and did not dare to disobey her. In the past, he had indulged her because he doted on his wife. Now, it was because he was afraid.
“Yes, I’ll go now.”
Father Xiao agreed. Seeing that Miao Yuehua had nothing else to say, he quickly left.
He recalled the old Daoist priest’s words and felt more and more uncomfortable.
After walking out of the manor, he sat down and cried bitterly. Today’s incident made him understand that Miao Yuehua did not treat him as a human, and Xiao Yi did not treat him as a father. The mother and son were only using him, so they could abandon him at will.
The only person who would treat him as a father was that child.
He had already harmed him twice. How could he harm him again?
He went to look for him just to take a look.
When Su Xiaolu and Gui You returned to the inn, Wang Mian’s anxious expression relaxed and he smiled. “You’re back.”
He was afraid that they would not come back. Even if Gui You and Su Xiaolu did not come back, Wang Mian could not do anything.
This inn could temporarily protect him, but it could not last long. If Gui You and Su Xiaolu did not return for more than two days, he would be in danger.
It was not easy for him to get this chance to come out. He was really unwilling to return to hell and live a hopeless life.
Therefore, when he saw Su Xiaolu and Gui You return, Wang Mian was about to cry tears of joy.
“How’s your leg healing? You should be able to walk now, right?”
Su Xiaolu looked at Wang Mian and asked. After taking two pills, he should have recovered.
Wang Mian smiled. “Yes, Young Master is amazing. I can’t hide anything from you.”
He could indeed walk, but he did not want to show it. Since Su Xiaolu had exposed him, he did not dare to pretend.
“Then pack up and come with us.”
Su Xiaolu said calmly. She had promised Wang Mian that she would bring him away.
Wang Mian was a little surprised. “Are we leaving just like this?”
Should he leave just like that without putting on any disguise?
Wang Mian was really scared. Li Yu was a lunatic, and Wang Jiang was his dog. Wang Jiang wasn’t scary, but he was scared of Li Yu.
If he left like this, wouldn’t Li Yu find out? Wang Mian’s heart was in turmoil, but he was very humble and didn’t have the confidence to ask for help.
To put it bluntly, with the abilities of this master-disciple pair, there was nothing he could do even if they wanted to take advantage of him. This kind of pain was the most painful and helpless.
“Yes, let’s go.”
Su Xiaolu smiled.
Wang Mian looked at her carefree smile and was a little dazed. Now that things had come to this, he could only believe that with the abilities of this master and disciple pair, Li Yu would not dare to offend them. If that was the case, then he had really made the right bet.
As long as he went far enough, it would not be easy for Li Yu to find him again. As long as he went far enough, he would definitely be able to find a way out for himself.
Wang Mian had nothing to pack. Su Xiaolu and Gui You quickly left the inn together. Wang Mian gritted his teeth and followed.
As soon as he left the inn, Wang Mian was like a frightened bird. He panicked. He saw many suspicious faces, but none of them moved, as if they were afraid of the master and disciple pair.
No one followed them even after they left the city.
Wang Mian heaved a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet.
Gui You and Su Xiaolu returned to the treacherous official’s house. The place was already brand new. A few huts had been built. There was a small straw hut outside the house. Little Niu was brewing medicine for Elder Niu.
Seeing Su Xiaolu and Gui You, he smiled brightly. “Senior Sister, you’re back.”
Su Xiaolu walked to Little Niu’s side and touched his head. “How is it? Is Uncle-Master feeling better these few days?”
With them around, Elder Niu did not have to sacrifice himself. He should be able to recover after a good rest.
Little Niu smiled happily and nodded. “Mm, Master is much better.”
