Chapter 40 No one cares
"Don't call me fairy." Ruan He frowned.

The lesson is there.

Lin Yurou was walking under the pressure of an official. She looked shabby and no longer as radiant as before.

"I really can't walk. Can you let me get on the trolley and sit for a while?"

Lin Yurou climbed up the hillside, panting so hard that she almost fainted. In the past, it was easy for her to follow the exile team, but now that she was walking on an uneven road, and with the addition of handcuffs and shackles, she felt how painful it was.

The officer in custody was in a bad mood because someone died today. He was also in a particularly bad mood, so he whipped Lin Yurou with a "snap" of a whip.

"You are the only one with a lot of problems. Look who is moaning like you."

"I……"

Lin Yurou felt the burning pain on her body, and she clearly realized that things were different now. The official who had been polite to her in the past now wanted her to die.

She didn't dare to say anything anymore for fear of provoking a whip.

She raised her eyes, and her eyes met Ruan He's. She saw that Ruan He was full of energy, and when she thought that she had robbed her of her glory, she gritted her teeth in anger.

Even if she can't cure those who are affected by the miasma, as long as Ruan He doesn't show up, the officials will not think that her medical skills are not good, but that the miasma is too poisonous.

But Ruan He came forward, took the credit, and even harmed her!
Lin Yurou's teeth were itching with hatred!
She and Ruan He had a sworn hatred, and she really hoped that she would be hit by the miasma again this time, so that Ruan He would be punished by Li Jiang, and it would be best to execute him on the spot.

Ruan He just looked back at Lin Yurou, but he never thought that her inner activities could be so rich, and she didn't bother to be a Ruan fairy.

To save people, one of them was Mu Yunxiao, and the other was just to leave a good impression in front of the officials, otherwise why would she be responsible for the lives and deaths of other people.

Therefore, she did not accept the titles of "Fairy Ruan" and "Mr. Ruan". She did not want to be morally kidnapped by these titles at all, and she did not need to prove her worth like Lin Yurou.

After climbing halfway up the mountain, each of them said in hindsight:
"Why is the fog gone? There seem to be more sounds of small animals in the forest?"

"That was miasma. The miasma is really gone. Let's leave quickly. Isn't the poisonous gas coming back?"

"Sure enough, Mrs. Mu's words are credible. Although she is from a farmer's background, she is much more knowledgeable than the rest of us. Let's go quickly."

Li Jiang also looked at the suddenly vibrant mountain forest. Even a pheasant flying by made him feel happy, and the prisoners also consciously speeded up.

He walked silently to Ruan He and couldn't help but ask curiously, "How does Mrs. Mu know that the miasma is gone now?"

"Miasma is the turbid air in the mountains and forests. It will naturally dissipate when the sun is high. I heard this from an old man in our village who thought he was knowledgeable." Ruan He lied without blinking.

She understood that as long as no casualties were caused to the team, Li Jiang would not pursue the case at all.

"What if we can't get out of this mountain today?" Li Jiang was a little worried about whether he would encounter this miasma again.

"Miasma usually forms in low-lying areas. We can just find a hillside to rest at night, so we can avoid the miasma." Ruan He said.

Li Jiang glanced at it, and sure enough, there was a depression less than 20 meters away from where they encountered the miasma.

He was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

The ordinary fog took the lives of eight people in the exile team.

"Cheer up and walk through this area quickly."

Everyone in the team walked away silently, the shadow of death from before still lingering in their minds.

into the night.

The sky in the mountain forest seemed to be suddenly covered by a layer of black veil, but it was not completely dark. "Climb to that slope and rest." Li Jiang ordered, keeping Ruan He's words in mind.

When we climbed up the hillside, we found that the terrain on the hillside was much gentler, and we could also see dense vines. Seeing these after dark always made people feel a little eerie.

The exile team rested on the hillside. Everyone took off their handcuffs and shackles, and went to collect firewood and get the evening food as usual.

Only Lin Yurou had no one to help her remove her handcuffs and shackles.

"Come here, can someone help me open it?" Lin Yurou wailed, watching everyone get free, but she was the only one being restrained. This feeling was really uncomfortable.

"Bah, be honest. What you committed is different from us. You really killed so many people!"

"That's right, bitch, if there weren't some officials watching, I would kill you for life."

"I curse you to die."

As he spoke, a flurry of punches and kicks fell on Lin Yurou's body.

The new injuries plus the old ones made Lin Yurou grimace in pain. Fortunately, the criminals who took action were driven away by the officials after a while.

Lin Yurou curled up and hugged herself. When she looked up, she happened to see Mu Yunxiao, and immediately looked at Mu Yunxiao with tears in her eyes.

"Brother Xiao..."

Mu Yunxiao just glanced at it briefly. When he saw Ruan He going to collect firewood, he snatched the firewood from her hand and said hurriedly, "Yunchao and I can do this."

"What about me, what do I do?" Ruan He was a little confused.

"Just go with grandma." Mu Yunxiao said, already going to collect firewood.

Mrs. Mutai on the other side waved to Ruan He lovingly.

Lin Yurou's jealous heart was about to break.

Her eyes glanced at Aunt Cui, and she looked at her with tears in her eyes. Aunt Cui showed a troubled expression and waved her hand at her.

Mrs. Hong, who was on the side, was holding her son in her arms and rubbing his fat feet. When she saw Aunt Cui and Lin Yurou looking back and forth, she cursed: "You still think we don't attract people's hatred. If you dare to go and talk to that person?" What are you muttering about, please stop following our second wife."

Auntie Cui saw that Hong was so arrogant and had nowhere to vent her anger.

She could only glare at Mu Zhengchuan fiercely and signal her to take care of her daughter-in-law.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhengchuan also shrank his head. He felt that what his wife said was reasonable. Now that many families wanted to kill Lin Yurou, who would get involved in this unfortunate thing.

When Aunt Cui saw that her son didn't help her, she was like a frustrated ball and went to find firewood.

In this barren mountain, it would be impossible to live without a fire at night. She still wanted to live a little longer.

As for Lin Yurou, she couldn't care less.

The tears in Lin Yurou's eyes flowed down helplessly.

Now no one can count on it.

At this moment, a pair of dirty embroidered shoes appeared in front of her.

"Hey, weren't you very capable a few days ago? Why can't you jump up and down now?" Aunt Bai crossed her arms over her chest, with a different kind of calculation in her gloomy eyes.
