"Ah, Miss Wen, don't be angry, this is all a misunderstanding."

Old Li caught up with Wen Meijiu, blocked her way and tried to help explain.

Wen Meijiu looked back, and apart from Lao Li, no one else came out to admit his mistake.

Smiling at Lao Li, this was already the limit of what Wen Meijiu could endure.

"Dr. Li, thank you for coming out to comfort me. I already know their attitude very well. You don't have to make excuses for them.

To tell you the truth, we are not on the same path.

After all, Prince Wang is of noble status. I am just a commoner and cannot be compared with him. It is reasonable for me to suffer injustice.

From now on, we will go our separate ways and never meet again. Goodbye."

After saying that, Wen Meijiu walked around Lao Li and was about to leave.

Seeing that Wen Meijiu was really angry, Lao Li knew that saying more would be useless, so he chased her at a trot and advised her:

"Miss Wen, your family fled to Donghai County to escape famine. You are unfamiliar with the place. If you didn't have the three courtyards to live in, the situation would be much worse!"

Wen Meijiu was angry, snorted coldly and said:

"What's the big deal about entering the yard three times? I can earn it myself, and I don't need charity from others."

Old Li was still unwilling to give up, and continued to persuade:

"Miss Wen, your father's leg has improved. He will be able to recover in a while. If not for anything else, for your father, can you bear with it for a while longer?"

This touched the heart of Wen Meijiu. Nothing else mattered. Dad's legs still depended on Lao Li.

Dad is well-educated. If he can really stand on his own feet, not to mention making the Wen family revive, at least there will be someone in charge of the family.

Wen Meijiu stood there in a daze, his expression changing slightly.

Old Li saw all of this and knew that his words had worked, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot.

"Miss Wen, I'll apologize to you on their behalf. I'll scold you severely when I get back to stop the quarrel, so please don't be angry."

Wen Meijiu was also thinking seriously that a good doctor like Dr. Li is not common, and since he met one, it was a gift from God to his father.

Even if it was to repay the original owner, she planned to endure it and heal her father's leg first.

As long as her father's leg is cured, even if she has to leave here in the future, her family will have someone to rely on and she can leave with peace of mind.

She was a decisive person. Once she made up her mind, she immediately agreed to Lao Li's request.

"Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll bear with it for now.

You can rest assured and treat my father. I promise you that I will never have any conflicts with them again. Just be more respectful to Prince Wang."

Old Li was satisfied with this, thinking that Wen Meijiu had stayed in his mansion after all, and even though he had escaped from slavery, he still had a certain master-servant relationship with his young master.

"Then I'm sorry, young lady."

Even though he felt that this was a matter of course, Lao Li still politely bowed to Wen Meijiu.

"You guys handle this, I'll go find Art and the others."

After Wen Meijiu finished speaking, she turned and left, even though she was envious of the things Zhi Zheng brought back and wanted to hear what he wanted to say specifically.

Saying she was looking for Art was just an excuse; she didn't care about Art that much.

She knew that Art must have been drugged by his boss and would wake up soon, so nothing serious would happen.

He came out of the cave, found an empty corner, drank some warm wine, and used his mind to move his still sleeping family members out of the space.

Just now, before those people entered the room to carry people away, Wen Meijiu hid his family in the space to avoid any accidents.

We have no choice but to get them out now.

This inn seems to have some serious problems, and it must be connected to other gangs behind the scenes.

Now that they have wiped out the whole place, in order to avoid any further complications, it would be best to leave here overnight and find another place to rest safely.

He found a bowl of water from somewhere else, dipped the warm wine in the water, and sprinkled it on the faces of his family members one by one to wake them up.

"What's the matter?"

As soon as Dad and Mom woke up, they started asking questions non-stop.

At this point, Wen Meijiu could no longer hide the truth from his parents, so he briefly told them what had happened here.

When my mother heard that this was a shady shop selling human meat buns, she was terrified and immediately said she wanted to take her whole family away.

It was Dad who came up with an idea. He immediately calmed Mom down, and comforted the two children to stay calm. He also asked Wen Meijiu to discuss the matter with the village chief.

Wen Meijiu nodded, went outside to wake up the villagers, and called Dazhu to come over to help harness the carriage and prepare to set off.

After a while, Qi Wenjing and Ma Rulan came out from the cave.

Because Qi Wenjing and Ma Rulan were of the same age as Wen Meijiu and were still young, they were knocked unconscious and captured in a cave together. The enemy planned to sell them together for money.

Wen Meijiu left in anger and did not have time to wake them up, and she also believed that Prince Wang would save them.

Qi Wenjing and Ma Rulan were frightened, thinking that Wen Meijiu didn't want them anymore, so they came to him crying.

"Miss, if I do anything wrong, you can scold me."

"Yes, me too."

How could Wen Meijiu not understand what the two people were thinking? He comforted them with a few words and turned to leave.

"Miss, they are not good people, you should be careful."

Qi Wenjing suddenly said this angrily behind him. Wen Meijiu paused, hummed lightly, said nothing, and walked away.

When everyone in the village woke up and found out what had happened, they were all panicked and finally ran to the village chief to ask for advice.

"They eat people. They are so cruel!"

"That's right, it's simply a demon from hell. How could it come to the human world? And it's so unlucky that we ran into it."

"Village chief, luckily we are all fine. If something really happened, what would we do with the old and young in the family?"

"Village Chief, do they have any accomplices? Should we leave now?"

"Village chief, can you let our family follow you? We are scared."

......

Everyone was talking at once, surrounding the village chief and saying all sorts of things.

To be honest, the village chief was also quite nervous at this time. A family had just struggled back from the brink of life and death. Who could remain indifferent?

Annoyed by the noise, the village chief pushed through the crowd and tried to leave, but his clothes were pulled back on him.

"Stop arguing, everyone. Let me talk to Meijiu first."

The village chief finally couldn't hold back his anger and spoke out his true thoughts.

At this point, everyone realized that, whether they admitted it or not, Wen Meijiu was indeed their backbone, but no one wanted to publicly admit that they had to rely on a little girl.

"I'll go find her."

Some people were more perceptive and, after hearing what the village chief said, hurried to find some warm wine.

When Wen Meijiu arrived, everyone automatically made way for him and waited for the village chief to discuss with Wen Meijiu and make a decision.

Although it was called a discussion, the village chief basically listened to Wen Meijiu.

"Grandpa, in case they have backup, we have to get out of here right away."

"Okay, I'll tell everyone to pack up right away, and we'll leave in a moment."

The village chief agreed and immediately ordered everyone to start taking action.

"Miss Wen, wait for me."

Wen Meijiu was just about to call her family over when someone ran out of the inn and pulled her sleeve.
