You confiscated my property, I exiled you, why are you crying when the treasury is empty?

The person in front of her was most likely a poor person abandoned by his children. Since he came to her, it was fate. After all, she had the money.

When the old woman heard the voice, she smiled and raised her head, revealing her colorless eyes.

Su Wanning was startled and was about to miss the body.

He was blocked by the crutch in the old woman's hand.

"Little girl, kindness will be rewarded. I, an old woman, remind you to leave this city as soon as possible."

After saying this, he put away his crutches and walked forward.

"If you don't listen to the advice of elders, you will suffer the consequences."

Su Wanning watched the old woman leave and looked at the two people beside her. "Have you been to this city before?"

Jinhua nodded. "I stayed here overnight before, but I didn't notice anything unusual."

Yue Shu saw that Su Wanning looked a little worried and suggested, "Why don't we leave at night?"

"How long do we have to go to the next city?"

"It's quite far from the city, but it's about half a day's journey to the next town. However, it's snowing heavily now, and because we have to travel at night, we'll probably have to wait until tomorrow morning to get there." Yue Shu said.

Su Wanning thought about it. It was already dark and snowing so heavily. It would be good if they could get to the destination, but no one could say for sure if something unexpected happened on the way.

After all, this is the emperor's territory. Even if an accident happens, it shouldn't be something too serious.

"Let's wait and see tomorrow. After all, it's getting late now." Su Wanning said.

We found a noodle shop in the town and ate there before returning to the inn.

The innkeeper saw them coming back and hurriedly said, "Dear guests, would you like to have a meal? Our barbecue is a must-try. Would you like some..."

The shopkeeper was interrupted by Yue Shu's cold words before he could finish his words, "We have already eaten outside. If there is nothing else, we will go back and rest."

"Used...used." The smile on the shopkeeper's face froze.

The shopkeeper made way, and the few of them returned to their room and went to bed to rest.

Ugly time.

When everyone was sleeping soundly, Yue Shu suddenly opened her eyes.

He tiptoed to the window and listened carefully to the noise outside.

At first I thought I had heard it wrong, but now the yard was covered with thick snow.

There was the sound of someone's feet stepping on the snow outside.

The voice didn't sound like that of a single person, and Jinhua also came to Yueshu's side at this time.

Naturally, I could also hear the voices of people outside.

Yueshu pointed to the rooftop towards Jinhuan, and Jinhuan nodded.

Yue Shu jumped up and stood on the beam, prying a tile with a knife.

Jinhua was below catching the tiles thrown down by Yueshu.

When the size was about the same, they instantly reached the roof.

Looking at the three people in the yard, carrying something, they should be the innkeeper and waiters.

Until something fell from the wooden board that several people were carrying.

In the faint moonlight, I could only see that it was a piece of meat, but I couldn't tell what animal it was from.

The clerks and the shopkeeper are free during the day, so why do they have to move things at night?

They didn't stop until everyone below had moved everything.

"Three more fat sheep have arrived today, so we need fresh ingredients again." The shopkeeper said with a wry smile.

Yue Shu's face turned cold. There were only three of them staying in the inn today, and she had already guessed what ingredients they had just carried.

Just as I thought of this, the person underground spoke again.

"Boss, they are not dining in the restaurant today," one of the waiters reminded.

"Go and get what you need from last time." The shopkeeper waved to the clerk.

One of the waiters tried to persuade them, "Last time we used that medicine, didn't the nobleman say that it affected the taste?"

"What do you mean? Can't we just use this word less?" said the shopkeeper, waving to the people behind him.

Soon, several people took half an incense stick, lit it, and prepared to put it into Su Wanning's space through the window.

Yue Shu jumped down from the roof and knocked two men unconscious on the spot. The other guy should have known some martial arts, but he was still subdued by Yue Shu in two moves.

Jinhuan also came out of the room, took out ropes from other rooms, and tied up several people.

Yue Shu picked up the extinguished incense, put it to her nose and smelled it. It was the aphrodisiac incense used to lure prey on the mountain.

Yue Shu looked at the few people, lit the incense in her hand, stuck it into the snow, and asked the three of them to form a circle.

Other things were used to block the incense from wafting away.

Then the two returned to their room and fell asleep.

When she woke up the next day, Su Wanning opened the door and looked at the scene in the yard, which gave her a critical hit.

Yue Shu and the other person in the next room also walked out of the room.

"Is this... done by you?" Su Wanning looked at the two of them and asked tentatively.

Jinhua walked over to the other side and kicked one of them.

"They wanted to harm you, but they ended up suffering the consequences."

Yue Shu walked over and looked at the burnt incense, then reached out to feel the breath of several people, and found that they were still alive.

He used a knife to cut the ropes that tied up the people and said to Jinhua who was standing beside him.

"Let's get them all into the house."

Jin Huan immediately squatted down and checked on the few people. "No way! These people are really lucky. They didn't freeze to death."

Yue Shu reached out and picked up a person, then walked towards a room.

"They used animal incense. Even if they could survive for a while, they wouldn't be able to take care of themselves."

After they had packed up, they sat down in the lobby and took out the buns and vegetables they had stockpiled.

While eating, Su Wanning asked the two people in front of her what happened last night.

Yue Shu swallowed a mouthful of food and looked at Su Wanning, "You probably don't want to hear it now."

Su Wanning looked at the meat bun in her hand. She didn't say anything now. Was it because it was too disgusting?

I was just careful and only ate half full.

After eating, he looked at Yue Shu, waiting for her next words.

After finishing her meal, Yue Shu looked at the two of them and recounted what happened last night.

"But when I went to look at the meat in the morning, I found that it was all..."

Jinhua asked curiously, "What is it?"

Su Wanning had already thought of it. No wonder the old woman she met on the street yesterday said that. It seemed that she had known some things about this town for a long time, "Flesh on the body of a person."

Yue Shu nodded, "The barbecue the shopkeeper mentioned last night must have been drugged. We didn't eat it, so they attacked us again tonight."

Jinhuan immediately stood up and went to the backyard and vomited almost everything in her stomach.

Su Wanning was originally glad that she only ate half full, but when she saw Jinhuan vomiting, she finally couldn't help it and vomited too.

After the two of them finished vomiting, Yue Shu also cleaned up the things in the room.

"Anyone who dares to do such a thing under the emperor's feet must have someone behind him. We'd better leave as soon as possible.

Now that the snow has stopped, if we hurry, we should reach the next town by evening."
