I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl
Chapter 67 Motives for Murder
The clay monkey with a golden lock around his neck hesitated and said, "Because, because we fainted and can't make any sound?"
"Then couldn't they see the grass that was crushed as you rolled down, and the grass stems that were broken when you tried to save yourselves?" They are not blind.
"Besides, it's not like you just fell in, you've been down there for a day and a night."
"No one has come back to look for you for such a long time. This shows that they either had problems together, or were deliberately misled by some individuals and chose the wrong way to look for you, thus delaying the best time to rescue you."
The two young men who were ignorant of the ways of the world looked at each other and finally reacted belatedly.
The taller and stronger Mud Monkey looked surprised, "You, you mean, someone is deliberately trying to murder us?"
Gu Wenxuan did not answer his question. She asked, "Come to think of it, why did you come to this deep mountain forest?"
"You are just lucky. Not only did you only suffer minor injuries when you rolled down, but you also stayed down there for such a long time without encountering any snakes, insects or wild animals."
"If we were not so lucky, the body would have been eaten by wild beasts by now."
Of course, she said the last two sentences deliberately to scare the two young men. Their current location was still far away from the forest where wild beasts roamed.
But the two young men didn't know that after she said that, they couldn't help but imagine the horrific scene of themselves being torn into pieces in their minds. They looked at each other, and then shuddered at the same time.
They were afraid of being in the wilderness, but after being rescued, they forgot about the fear.
Now, after being frightened by Gu Wenxuan, the two of them were immediately frightened into silence by their own uncontrollable and terrifying imaginations.
After a while, one of them murmured with lingering fear: "I remember now, it was my driver who kept saying that the mountains here have beautiful scenery and abundant prey, so I wanted to go into the mountains to hunt."
As for his companion with a gold lock around his neck, this guy had no one to supervise him at home. His mother stayed in the Buddhist temple all year round, and his brother was away doing business all year round, so he was completely left alone.
In Xingzhou Tianhe Academy, because he was a poor student and a businessman, almost no one was willing to be with him, so he basically hung out with his friend who was also a poor student every day.
His friend wanted to go into the mountains to hunt, so he followed him.
The two uneducated and dissolute young men had no idea that they would almost lose their lives just because they went into the mountains on a whim.
The two looked at each other for a while, and the young man with a gold locket around his neck suddenly remembered the thing that his friend had inadvertently complained to him a few days ago.
He said, "I remember you complained to me before, saying that your father had already started looking for a marriage for you when you were still so young. How did your stepmother react to this?"
Although he himself had not personally experienced the intrigues between his stepmother and stepson because his biological mother was the kind of cowardly person who was afraid that a leaf falling from a tree would hit her on the head, he had seen how other members of the Mu family treated his eldest brother.
As a result of what he saw and heard, he was more alert to those secret and private methods than his friends.
See, even after he had pointed it out to this point, his friend still couldn't understand why he had suffered such a misfortune.
"Her? She doesn't seem to have any reaction. My father has always had the final say in my family's affairs. Even if she has a different opinion, she won't say it in front of my father."
The young man with a gold lock around his neck: ...
He said that he was very tired, but thinking of the deep friendship he and his good brother had for so many years, he finally made his words clearer.
"Even if your father won't listen to her, she will still have her own ideas."
"There are many people in this world who take risks for money, and there are also many people who turn against each other for money."
"Even for a farmer with only a few taels of silver and a few acres of thin land, most of the sons in this farmer's family will fight for the inheritance when the family is divided, let alone a family like ours."
"You... you should be more careful in the future. Even if it's a servant who has served you for many years, you should not be like this time and foolishly believe everything they say."
His friend responded sullenly, and it was obvious that he was in a very low mood.
After all, it is not appropriate for other people to interfere too much in such matters. The reminder has been given. Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan looked at each other and tacitly said no more.
"I'm Peng Xuan'an," the depressed young man didn't let himself be depressed for too long. He cheered up and said to Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, "This is my friend Mu Jingzhi. Thank you for saving us."
Bai Jingzhou returned the greeting with a bow, "I am Bai Jingzhou, and this is my fiancée Gu Wenxuan."
When he said the six words "This is my fiancée", the three people present seemed to hear the "capital bold" and "emphasis" from his suddenly emphasized tone.
Gu Wenxuan was both angry and amused. She glanced at Bai Jingzhou and said, "If you two trust us, why don't you come down the mountain with us now?"
Forget about helping to find servants. Who knows how many of his five servants have already betrayed Master Peng.
Peng Xuan nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you two to take us out."
How could they not trust Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan? If Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan hadn't happened to pass by, they would have died in this deep mountain forest.
The fear and terror brought by the near-death experience overwhelmed the fatigue and pampering of the two young men.
Although they were tired and sleepy and didn't want to walk at all, after realizing that someone wanted to kill them, they still walked one step forward and one step back, gritted their teeth and followed Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, stumbling out of the mountain. This perseverance made Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan change their views of them a lot.
What the two didn't know was that Peng Xuan'an and Mu Jingzhi also admired Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan.
As the four of them went down the mountain, two of them went hunting and the other went collecting herbs. They looked very capable, not at all like the other common people they had seen before.
In order to divert his attention and stop himself from thinking about "tiredness", Peng Xuan took the initiative to open up the conversation and asked Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan, "Who did you two learn these skills from?"
Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan would of course not tell them. Bai Jingzhou replied to Peng Xuan'an in a slightly apologetic tone, "Sorry, we can't casually reveal our master to the outside world."
Peng Xuan nodded to show his understanding. Although he was a dandy boy, he didn't have the hobby of forcing others to do things. Since the other party didn't want to talk, he knew better and didn't continue to ask questions.
Mu Jingzhi, on the other hand, was very curious and asked Gu Wenxuan, "Miss Gu, as a girl, why do you want to endure the hardship of practicing martial arts?"
