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

Su Wanning immediately retorted, "What can I think? We've only been together for such a short time, how could I possibly have feelings for him?"

"During the past two days of our journey, you glanced in his direction many times while riding in the carriage. Even when we stopped to rest, you couldn't stop glancing over there. You've already developed feelings for him."

Su Wanning didn't know what to say. Sometimes she couldn't help but look in the direction of Zhan Beiwang, but this matter could not be explained away in just a few words. She had no way of forgiving what the Zhan family had done, and she had no way of being with Zhan Beiwang wholeheartedly.

What's more, Zhan Beiwang hasn't expressed anything since he said that sentence with such confidence the last time she came back.

He took a deep breath and said, "Let it be. Let's go to sleep. I'm so sleepy." Then he yawned and fell asleep.

Bai Ye glanced at Su Wanning and said nothing more.

In the middle of the night, Wu Qianyun screamed again, but this time she ran around with her eyes open, apologizing as she ran.

Su Wanning opened the window, took a look, and lay down again.

It was not until the sound of the gong the next day that Wu Qianyun's emotions stabilized.

For some reason, the exile group kept taking a detour until they stopped at a village during the day.

The sun still has a long time to go down, and I don’t know why it stopped. Could it be that it wants to make the villagers make some money like last time?

Seeing that the villagers seemed unaware that the exile team was passing by, my guess became more certain.

I don't know why, but the whole village has a strange atmosphere, but I can't tell what's wrong.

When I got off the carriage, I saw the village chief chatting enthusiastically with Peng Hai.

After a while, the village chief informed the exile team that he would start charging water fees for drawing well water, just like the village they had passed by before.

Su Wanning looked at a river not far away. Isn’t it a bit unnecessary to charge for well water here?

Before she could think about it, someone in the crowd asked what she wanted to say, "Then we don't charge for water from the river?"

The village chief's expression changed. "It's free, but if anything goes wrong after drinking, our village will not be responsible."

Problems from drinking? Could it be that there was something wrong with the river water? Su Wanning looked at the river again. The river water was always flowing, so even if they poisoned it, it would be difficult to do so.

To be on the safe side, Su Wanning still planned to buy some well water in the village, but when using it, it would be better to replace it with drinking water in the space.

When she walked to the well to buy water, an old woman who was filling the water for her advised her, "Girl, if you want to have a good sleep at night, you'd better live in the yard."

"We have a carriage. Wouldn't it be nice if we could spend the night in it?" Su Wanning pointed to the carriage not far away and took out a few more copper coins and handed them to the old woman.

The old woman took the copper coin and stood up. "Young lady, listen to my advice. It would be better for you to find a family to stay with among our villagers."

After saying that, the old woman handed the ladle of water in her hand to the person next to her and walked away with her crutches.

Before Su Wanning could come to her senses, she heard the woman who took the ladle say, "Girl, just listen to Grandma Liu."

She held the thing in her hand and nodded to the person who was trying to persuade her.

After returning, I told Bai about this matter.

Bai Ye took the water bag from Su Wanning and pointed to an old woman with almost completely white hair sitting under a willow tree at the entrance of the village. "I just went to talk to her. She said that if I don't find a courtyard to stay in at night, I'm afraid I'll encounter unclean things."

It's just an unclean thing, she was scared to death.

Su Wanning took Bai Ye to ask the village chief for accommodation. A lot of strange things happened while she was working in the hospital, so every time she was on duty at night, she would find various things to divert attention.

The village chief glanced at the two of them and pointed at the old woman under the willow tree.

"My sister-in-law has a spare house. You can stay there."

Sister-in-law? Su Wanning looked at the old woman with white hair, then at the village chief with thick black hair. Are you sure you called her the right one?

The village chief saw the confusion on Su Wanning's face. "My sister-in-law is less than 30 years old. She should be surrounded by children and grandchildren, but because of an accident, she lost her husband and children overnight, and her hair turned white overnight."

The village chief brought the two people to his sister-in-law and said, "Sister Yu Rong, let these two girls stay at your house tonight."

Yu Rong looked up at Bai Ye, then turned her gaze to Su Wanning, "Of course, I can, but I'm afraid of scaring this girl."

For some reason, Su Wanning sensed a sinister aura from Yu Rong's eyes, and pulled Bai Ye to hide behind her.

Bai Ye stood in front of Su Wanning and said, "I'm sorry."

Yu Rong stood up and said, "Come with me."

Several people came to a house at the end of the village, walked up to take the bolt, and pushed the door open with force. Just as Su Wanning was about to go in, her view was suddenly blocked by Bai Ye.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanning stuck her head out in confusion and saw the grave in the middle of the yard at a glance.

His hair stood on end, and he reached out to pull Bai Ye, "Why don't we go back to the carriage and stay there."

Yu Rong turned around and looked directly at Su Wanning. "It's scarier outside at night than in the yard. If you want, you can leave."

Bai Ye put his arm around Su Wanning's shoulders and said, "She's quite timid, don't scare her."

Su Wanning hid in Bai Ye's arms and was carried into the room by Bai Ye.

The room was very clean, but Su Wanning didn't dare let go of Bai Ye's shoulders for a moment.

Her brain was already shut down by the shock of the previous scene.

Bai Ye handed her the water bag and said, "Drink some water first and then relax."

Su Wanning took the water and drank a few gulps. "Bai Ye, you have to sleep with me today. Don't leave me alone."

Bai Ye nodded and patted Su Wanning's hand. "I'm going to the toilet. Do you want to go?"

"Go!" Su Wanning immediately stood up and pulled Bai Ye, and still chose to close her eyes when passing by the grave in the yard.

When they reached the toilet door, Su Wanning belatedly asked, "How do you know where their toilet is?"

Bai Ye stopped and reached out to gently tap Su Wanning's head. "Generally, the outhouses in the village are in the southwest corner. Besides, I just asked about the layout of the courtyard."

Su Wanning was stunned for a moment. She had been holding Bai Ye's hand since they entered the courtyard. When did Bai Ye ask her about it? Why didn't she know? Could it be that she was too scared to pay attention to it?

"Don't think about it, let's go in quickly. We still have time to go around the village later, eat early in the evening, and then rest."

Su Wanning breathed a sigh of relief after the two of them left the house. However, when she saw that the gates of other houses were open and there was also a grave in the yard, Su Wanning felt weak all over.
