My Beautiful Wife, Please Give Me Some Pin Money! 42: Leaving The Zhoujia Village

Proofread by Claire.KK

Xie Mengxuan pounced by instinct, without further thinking. She only knew that man was also pushed down by them together with the coffin. He was hung between life and death.

Her loud cry immediately attracted the villagers’ attention.

The sorceress was surprised and then shouted. “Stop her. Don’t let her break the ceremony of offering a sacrifice to the Mountain G.o.d.”

Held back by others, she struggled to get rid of them but only failed. She seemed to go back to the day when Geng Zhishan had been halted by these people from saving her.

Her eyes somehow turned red. She glanced around with all her might. After a while, she said: “I’ll keep in mind all present today. If he can’t survive, I’ll take revenge on all of you in the Zhoujia Village.”

Other villagers didn’t know her ident.i.ty, only to think she had been crazy. However, the sorceress had a little knowledge so that she felt a bit guilty. “Why are you aiming at us, young lady? It’s the Mountain G.o.d rather than us who wants the life of Geng Zhishan. In my opinion, you’d better pack your luggage to leave here as early as possible.” She insisted.

“I will.” said Xie Mengxuan who pushed away the man who had halted her.

The sorceress hurried to leave here with others as if someone was chasing after them.

Xie Mengxuan closed her eyes. Tears slowly crossed her face. She could not help recalling the scene where all present had pushed the coffin down the cliff top. Gradually, step by step, it left the safe platform.

Xie Mengxuan was approaching the cliff edge. Gu Yusheng immediately went forward in her way. “Xuan, don’t be sad. I’ll order them to climb down to find him.”

“Can you find him? The cliff is so steep. Will he be safe?” Xie Mengxuan held his hand and asked at a fast speed.

Gu Yusheng managed to nod. “Yes. We’re bound to find him or his corpse.”

“Sure, we’ll find him whether he’s alive or not.” Xie Mengxuan nodded and all of a sudden, she turned to descend the mountain.

Gu Yusheng still stood in her way to prevent her from leaving. Uncle Luo had gone to make arrangements. Only they stayed here.

Xie Mengxuan didn’t turn her head. She struggled to withdraw her arm but failed. She said in a husky voice: “Big Brother Gu, what are you doing?”

Standing in her way, Gu Yusheng touched her face. “Xuan, you’re crying for him.”

“Am I?” Xie Mengxuan showed a confused look. She touched her cheek to feel her tears.

Looking at her palm, she was confused about the reason.

Gu Yusheng closed his eyes. “Xuan, have you fallen in love with him? It is not right.”

It sounded reasonable, but Xie Mengxuan felt unease. She subtly furrowed her eyebrows and lowered her voice. “What is the right thing? We are both single. Why couldn’t I fall in love with him?”

Instead of denying it, she gave a positive response in her implication. On the alert, Gu Yusheng said low: “For his sake, you want to discard the ident.i.ty of the Xie family?”

Xie Mengxuan lifted her eyes and slowly replied: “No, I don’t. As for him…”

Looking at the cliff, she closed her eyes again.

Gu Yusheng was slightly relieved. “It seems that you are not sure. Well, I won’t force you, but you must be clear that you have no future.”

Xie Mengxuan felt a little bit impatient since Gu Yusheng kept struggling with this matter. However, in her view, there was still a long way to go. She frowned. “It’s too early to talk about this. The most important in the current situation is his life. We’re bound to find him at any cost. If he’s alive, the Xie family will support him for the rest life to pay back his kindness.”

Gu Yusheng raised his volume. “It’s me rather than him who saved you.”

Now that he had mentioned it, Xie Mengxuan wouldn’t avoid the fact. She sneered and took a step backward. “Yes, you saved me, but without him, how could I survive in the wild when I was injured? I also owe a debt of life to him.”

“You just want to pay back his kindness? What about mine? When will you pay back to me?” Gu Yusheng continued.

Astonished, Xie Mengxuan shook her head with a smile after a while. “Big Brother Gu, I’ve never thought that there is need to talk about this between us.”

She bypa.s.sed Gu Yusheng and went down the mountain along the road. She was going to look for him on her own.

Gu Yusheng standing still, her words repeated in his mind. He was aware that he had blown it. Gu Yusheng shouldn’t have said such words.

He took a deep breath and turned to descend the mountain.

His subordinates, Uncle Luo and he himself searched under the mountain for two days, only to find the fragments of the coffin. They didn’t find Geng Zhishan, not even a little blood.

Xie Mengxuan was still worried.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, she looked up at the sunny sky. It had stopped raining. A look of sarcasm flashed through her eyes.

Gu Yusheng was a bit embarra.s.sed and went to Xie Mengxuan. “Xuan, the road has been cleared up, and the house of Geng Zhishan has been taken by those people. Are you going to linger here?”

Having a look at him, Xie Mengxuan glanced around and took a deep breath. “He has promised me that he would come to find me. Now that we couldn't find him, he should be alive. We have to go back to the Imperial Capital first.”

She returned to be the tough young lady from the Xie family. It seemed that she never became upset and cried.

However, Gu Yusheng knew that she had not taken a good rest during these days.

Xie Mengxuan took a deep breath.

“Thank you for all the trouble you’ve taken. We’ll go back to the Imperial Capital at first. As long as he’s alive, I’m bound to find him.”

She seemed to stick to this matter. It looked bleak.

Gu Yusheng didn’t speak it out since Uncle Luo had told him that the more he said, the more he made mistakes. It would be better for him to keep silent.

They made arrangements to make their subordinates set off respectively in advance. Xie Mengxuan packed her luggage and left the Zhoujia Village with Uncle Luo and Gu Yusheng.

When she was leaving, she met Aunt Cui at the village entrance.

Aunt Cui looked at her with a sinister expression while Xie Mengxuan looked back with a bright smile.

Aunt Cui's plot had failed. Even if she left this place, she would always be scared. However, Xie Mengxuan would make her live in fear for her rest life. When she left here, she would inform Aunt Cui of her ident.i.ty.

Xie Mengxuan had a glance at her and turned away.

She stroke fear into Aunt Cui. When she finally shifted her eyes, shortly afterwards Aunt Cui felt another terrible look. However, she figured out nothing when she looked up.

Aunt Cui was no longer worried. She was leaving here for a good life. All her misfortunes would disappear!
