“I’ve made you worry, but we’re going to leave now. I think everyone should make plans.”

MO Ruyue watched the show for a long time and suddenly became interested.

She joined in and directly told the most important news.

“What, you guys want to… You’re leaving?

Lin Xu froze again.

This time, she could no longer maintain that perfect expression on her face.Instead, tiny cracks appeared.

“That’s right. My husband was ambushed by the brigands, so he came here to check things out. Now that the matter is over, he naturally has to leave.”

As MO Ruyue spoke, she carefully observed Lin Xu’s expression. She noticed the tiniest muscle twitch on her face and suddenly felt the pleasure of acting.

There seemed to be a door opened in her body.

“Then, do you have anywhere you want to go? Perhaps, perhaps we can go the same way…”

Lin Xu said hesitantly.

She really didn’t want to take the initiative to bring up this topic. In her plan, this should have been brought up by Gu Ying. That way, she would be able to half-push and half-accept, and go with the flow to agree.

It was just that she had miscalculated Gu Ying’s temperament, and she didn’t expect that MO Ruyue would descend from the sky and interfere.

What was worse was that she was the one who had said the most important words.

“Of course we’re going home, but I’m afraid we’re not going the same way as you. We’re going south.”

MO Ruyue had been waiting for this sentence, and it directly gave an unbelievable answer.

“South? Miss, I’m from the south. The further south we go, the more serious the disaster will be. Why are you still going south? We should be heading north!”

Lin Xu said anxiously.

“I still have some relatives in the North. If you have no one to go to, why don’t you come with me? This way, I can have a chance to repay my benefactor in the future!”

When she heard that MO Ruyue was going south, which was in the opposite direction of her destination, she suddenly became a little anxious.

If that was the case, then she really could not rely on them.

Originally, she had wanted to stay by this pair’s side for the time being. As long as there was enough time, she would always find an opportunity.

However, now that this opportunity was about to be lost, how could she be willing to accept it? Naturally, she spared no effort to persuade him.

“l called you here to give you some of the food and property we found. It’s up to you if you want to leave or stay. I’ll take my leave first.”

Gu Ying was even more straightforward. He completely ignored Lin Xu’s suggestion and told her his arrangements. “Food and property?”

This time, Lin Xu’s face turned even uglier.

She also thought of the most important problem, and that was that the amount of food and property the brigands had stolen was definitely not a small number. Although they could get a part of it, the amount could not be too much.

So, most of the remaining things had fallen into the pockets of these two people?

It wouldn’t matter if it was just Gu Ying holding it, but when she thought about how that woman also had a share, or even more than her, Lin Xu felt as if a huge rock had fallen on her heart.

It couldn’t be spat out or dissolved.

It was like a fishbone in the throat.

“Benefactor, please give me my share first!”

A person walked over hurriedly, and her voice came even before she arrived. It was Miss Tian, who had arrived late.

She didn’t hear the first part of the conversation, but she heard Gu Ying say that he wanted to split the money and grain, so she immediately asked for her share.

Gu Ying turned around and entered the house. He quickly came out with two bags, one big and one small.

“This is food, enough for one person to eat for ten days to half a month. Here’s money. There are some broken silver, copper coins, and silver notes. They can be used for a while if you use them sparingly.”

He placed the bag in front of Miss Tian and quickly said what was inside before closing his mouth, not willing to say a word more.

“What? You’re only giving me this little thing? Benefactor, you can’t be thinking of sending us away like beggars and pocketing the rest of the money, right?”

Miss Tian looked at the bag in front of her and reached out to rummage through the things inside, especially the small bag containing money. The more she looked at it, the more disgusted she was.

“Miss Tian, don’t measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. If Benefactor wants money and grain, he can just take it all, why would he give it to us?”

“Besides, all the food and money that has been plundered are now mixed together. How do you want our benefactor to split it? Do you want him to share it with you?”

Lin Xu finally found another chance to show off and retorted without hesitation.

“Hehe, why are you pretending to be a good person! Have you already gotten your share in private?”

Miss Tian glared at Lin Xu from the corner of her eyes. She no longer had any hope for Gu Ying. Since she had to care about one side, she would definitely choose her own benefits.

“How else do you think we should split it?”

Lin Xu followed up with another question.

This sentence made MO Ruyue’s eyes reveal a smile as she looked at her meaningfully.

What a good move to retreat in order to advance. This woman was pushing Miss Tian out as a shield and using her mouth to obtain more benefits.

“How do we split? Of course, we’ll split it equally. Even if we don’t, we shouldn’t have taken so little. To put it bluntly, which one of those who were captured by the brigands didn’t have wealth and beauty?

“These are not even a fraction of the things we brought out. If that’s not patronizing beggars, what is?”

It was unknown if Miss Tian really didn’t understand or if she was just playing dumb. As expected, she went along with Lin Xu’s wishes and told her the distribution method that she felt was appropriate.

“Take it or leave it. If you don’t want it, get lost!”

MO Ruyue said lazily. This one sentence caused Miss Tian’s expression to change. She glared and prepared to make a scene.

“Let me remind you, I don’t know how to hold back, and I’m not someone who has tender feelings for women.”

She raised her eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes. Miss Tian felt as if she had been stabbed in the chest, and she staggered two steps back.

“You, you still want to silence me?”

Miss Tian mustered her courage and retorted. Although her words were still very tough, her body very honestly and quietly took two steps back.

“In the wilderness, there’s a pit of white bones outside the village. I don’t mind having one more skeleton in that pit.”

MO Ruyue’s lips still had deep smiling lines when she spoke. She had described such a terrifying thing so casually, as if it was as easy as eating a cabbage.

“Benefactor, Miss, I am willing to accept the things you have distributed. I have no other opinions.”

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more stiff, Madam Du immediately took the initiative to take over the conversation and tried to ease the atmosphere.

“Why are you afraid of them? I don’t believe they would dare to…”

“You shut up!”

Miss Tian still wanted to win over her comrades to support her, but she didn’t expect to be scolded by Madam Du before she could finish her words.

“You’ve seen how our benefactor dealt with the brigands. If he wanted all the money and food, he could’ve waited until we were all dead before he made his move. Why did he have to save us?”

“Besides, even if we get more money, how are we going to protect ourselves if we encounter brigands or refugees again? Aren’t you afraid that you’ll invite another fatal disaster?”

Madam Du was clear-headed and could completely understand the intention of Gu Ying.

After such a great disaster, food was the most scarce resource.. They had the ability to protect these precious things, but what did they have?
