Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

Chapter 1863: Chapter 1863: One Finger

”What’s wrong, Ruozhu?” Jiao Ling asked worriedly.

Yingtong also looked at her and asked, ”Did you have a nightmare?”

Bai Ruozhu weakly waved her hand, ”It’s nothing, I’m just tired. I’ll be fine after a bit more sleep.”

Jiao Ling looked at her belly with some concern. It can’t go on like this.

Bai Ruozhu carefully lay down, gently protecting her belly with her hand, and closed her eyes to fall asleep again. She truly was exhausted.

When she woke up again, the sky outside the carriage was already dark. She had slept for a long time.

Taking the opportunity to get off the carriage to relieve herself, she went into the space, brewed a pot of fish soup, planning to drink some later to nourish herself. Even if she didn’t want to drink it, she had to for the child’s sake.

Estimating the time, she again went into the space at midnight to drink the fish soup, but felt somewhat guilty for not being able to share it with others.

She wasn’t out of the space yet when she heard Gao Zhou shouting outside the guest room door: ”Ruozhu, wake up, Achun left on his own!”

Bai Ruozhu immediately exited the space, hurriedly opened the door, and went outside.

”When did he leave?” She still tasted the fish soup in her mouth but felt truly uncomfortable at this moment.

Gao Zhou handed her a letter, saying, ”I woke up just now and didn’t see him; only found this letter on his bed addressed to you, so I didn’t open it.”

Bai Ruozhu quickly opened the letter, and it was indeed Achun’s handwriting.

”Ruozhu, I’ve gone ahead to Beiyu City, I can’t protect you along the way, and it would only make you and the child less safe. I also don’t want you to see my bloodthirsty side, as I fear it might scare you...”

She couldn’t read through the part where he advised her to stay safe; they hadn’t had a proper conversation the last time they met, and this letter was the longest he’d spoken to her.

Thinking of Achun leaving on his own, Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but burst into tears. Her Achun had such a tough fate, and this journey was too hard.

”Don’t worry about the child, I’ll go after him now.” Gao Zhou said a word of reassurance, went outside, took a horse, and rushed out.

Bai Ruozhu opened her mouth, wanting to follow, but reason told her she couldn’t. Her belly was too big to ride a fast horse; she had to be responsible for their child.

Moreover, even if she caught up, what then? She couldn’t approach him and would only make them both feel worse. It would be better to let him go back first.

When dawn broke, the group continued their journey, unexpectedly Mo Beishan caught up and asked anxiously, ”Where’s Brother Jiang? Why isn’t he here?”

Lu was still polite to him, cupped his fists in salute, and said, ”He had something to attend to and went ahead.”

Yao Yuxuan, however, rushed over and pulled Mo Beishan off his horse.

”If anything happens to my adopted son, I won’t spare you or your Mo family!” Yao Yuxuan said with gritted teeth.

Mo Beishan got up off the ground but didn’t want to fight back; he saw that Jiang Yichun had left on his own and wanted to pursue him but was grabbed by the collar by Yao Yuxuan.

”Didn’t I tell you to stay away from him? If you hadn’t shown up, he wouldn’t have lost control of his emotions and wouldn’t have left alone. Why did you have to provoke him?” Yao Yuxuan said, tightening his grip on Mo Beishan’s collar.

Lu hurried forward and grabbed Yao Yuxuan’s arm, ”Mr. Yao, please don’t get angry. The Mo family holds a high position in River Jiang; it’s better not to hurt him.”

Yao Yuxuan released Mo Beishan, suddenly drew his sword, and said, ”Fine, I won’t hurt him, just a martial duel according to River Jiang’s rules. Isn’t he fond of challenging others? Wouldn’t he dare to fight me, a mere scholar?”

As he spoke, the sword tip already pointed at Mo Beishan and advanced. Mo Beishan quickly drew his sword to defend himself, unexpectedly realizing that Yao Yuxuan had profound inner strength and wasn’t a match.

Yao Yuxuan showed no intention of withdrawing his sword, each move was deadly. Mo Beishan soon sensed the danger, and beads of sweat gathered on his forehead.

Seeing that he was about to be injured by Yao Yuxuan, he suddenly found a mysterious sensation amid his anxiety. The crowd watched as he closed his eyes, and his sword techniques changed, appearing light yet strangely blocking Yao Yuxuan’s sword, even counterattacking him.

”Damn, this kid unexpectedly gained enlightenment for a new technique at such a moment; his perception is indeed impressive.” Despite not liking him, Yao Yuxuan spoke his mind.

Mo Beishan withdrew to the side, saluted Yao Yuxuan, ”Your sword techniques are excellent, elder; I’ve learned a lot.”

Lu stopped Yao Yuxuan again, who huffed coldly, sheathed his sword, and mounted his horse to go ahead.

Bai Ruozhu and the others pursued him, leaving only Lu to talk politely with Mo Beishan, inviting him to join them, to which Mo Beishan surprisingly agreed, although his look at Yao Yuxuan was somewhat intense.

In the following two days, Gao Zhou hadn’t returned with any news of his pursuit. It was unknown whether he had found Jiang Yichun.

Bai Ruozhu and the others continued on their journey, with two more days left before reaching Beiyu City.

In the evening, they rested at an inn in a small town, the group ordered some food downstairs.

Mo Beishan was clearly unwelcomed, sitting alone at the adjacent table.

He drank sulkily, suddenly noticing Bai Zebo looking at him. He smiled friendly at Bai Zebo, remembering this young man was Bai Ruozhu’s brother, but with little martial skill.

Thinking this, he asked the young servant to deliver a bottle of wine to Bai Zebo, politely raising his glass to him.

Bai Zebo awkwardly turned his face away, simply wanting to see what was special about this young master from a prestigious martial arts family, not expecting him to come over.

”Muxin, help me return the wine to him.” Feeling he wasn’t suited to confront him, Bai Zebo whispered to the maid Muxin.

Muxin nodded, ”Alright, I’ll send it back now.”

She said it and approached with the wine jug, coldly placing it on Mo Beishan’s table, who was startled and asked, ”Does he not want to be friends?”

”He cannot afford friends like you.” Muxin gathered her courage to respond despite her fear.

Unexpectedly, a yellow figure dashed in at that moment, screamed at Muxin, ”I knew it was you, this little demon!”

Before Muxin could respond, the intruding woman drew a sword and slashed at her hand. Muxin screamed and retreated, but it happened so suddenly, with the woman’s sword technique bizarrely fast, in a blink, a bloodied finger flew.

”Ah...” Muxin screamed, clutching her hand, collapsing to the ground, her body curling in pain.

”Muxin!” Bai Zebo’s face turned pale, he rushed forward, urgently cradling her in his arms.

Mo Beishan had already restrained the intruding woman, shouted at her, ”Huang Rou, what are you doing? That maid doesn’t have any martial skills!”

Bai Zebo saw Muxin suffering, suddenly released her, fiercely charging at the woman in yellow who held no weapon, intending to fight her with his bare fists.
