Novel Bin Chapter 34
These were two northern barbarians!
But this place was still quite a distance from the northern border. Why were these two northern barbarians here?!
Lin Suisui and Lu Ze looked at each other. Neither of them said anything. They tacitly turned their heads to continue checking the movements of the two northern barbarians in the distance.
However, the two barbarians seemed to be waiting for someone. When they were about ten steps away from them, they stopped and stood in the forest while communicating in a barbarian language.
Lin Suisui didn’t understand their language, but it was obvious that Lu Ze, who was beside her, could understand it. Therefore, Lin Suisui could feel the murderous aura that Lu Ze suddenly emitted.
Worried, she reached out and grabbed Lu Ze’s wrist. She signaled him to calm down for the time being.
As if they had agreed on it, not long after the two northern barbarians arrived, there was another commotion not far away. The two people who came this time were very familiar to Lin Suisui and Lu Ze.
These two people had been by Du Yuanruo’s side when he came out to confront Pei Qian!
But now, these two people had appeared in the forest and even interacted with these two northern barbarians!
These two groups of people didn’t interact for long. They also communicated in the barbarian language. Then, they saw the two Du Yuanruo’s subordinates take out something and give it to the two barbarians. After that, they turned around and quickly left.
“They…” After the two groups of people had disappeared and there was no other movement, wanting to understand what was going on, Lin Suisui turned to look at Lu Ze.
“Du Yuanruo colluded with the northern barbarians to secretly kidnap us refugees and sell us as slaves. This way, since Du Yuanruo can push all the blame to the Fourth Prince’s family, as the person in charge, Pei Qian will naturally be blamed and then be accused of colluding with external enemies. This way, not only will the Ning Yuan Marquis be wiped out, but even the Fourth Prince’s family will be wiped out!”
In addition, if this batch of refugees were successfully bought out, they would also obtain a considerable amount of wealth.
Du Yuanruo can kill two birds with one stone. How ruthless.”
As Lu Ze spoke, he reached out to help Lin Suisui stand up from the ground. Then, just like before, he carried Lin Suisui and walked down the mountain while explaining the situation to her.
“Then, what should we do now?” Lin Suisui frowned. Since Du Yuanruo had schemed against them, he was guilty of a heinous crime! If they didn’t think of a way to stop him, the innocent refugees would be the ones to suffer.
However, they couldn’t tell Pei Qian the news directly.
After all, she and Lu Ze were just two ordinary villagers. How could they understand the northern barbarian language?!
“We can find a chance to tell Pei Qian. There’s no need to make it so clear. We just need to tell him that we saw Du Yuanruo’s people colluding with the northern barbarians. We don’t have to worry about anything else.”
It would be even harder to walk down the mountain on such a slippery road.
However, Lu Ze walked very steadily, so that Lin Suisui, who was on his back, didn’t feel any danger or discomfort. Compared to just now, Lin Suisui, who was on Lu Ze’s back again, was clearly much more relaxed than before.
She even swayed her calf, which was hanging from Lu Ze’s waist, in satisfaction. It brushed past the man’s lean and muscular waist like a fish playfully crossing the lotus. Lu Ze’s heart fluttered.
His voice was husky as he said, “Don’t move.”
Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was referring to. She quickly stopped shaking her calf and blushed as she subconsciously buried her head in Lu Ze’s back…
No sooner had the two of them returned to camp when the rain, which had stopped for most of the day, began to patter down again. In fact, it seemed to be getting heavier by the evening.
The sudden drop in temperature made people feel the chill brought about by the climate in the northern region for the first time.
Lin Suisui originally planned to accompany Lu Ze to pack up the prey he had just hunted today, but Lu Ze rejected Lin Suisui’s suggestion very bluntly. “It’s cold outside. Just stay in the car. I’ll be back soon after I finish packing.”
Lu Ze insisted, so Lin Suisui didn’t insist. She returned to the carriage and took out the thick clothes she had prepared so that Lu Ze could change into them when he returned later.
As tidying up, she suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Lin Suisui didn’t pay much attention at first, but unexpectedly, the commotion became louder and louder. She actually felt that they were getting closer and closer to her.
Her instincts told her that something was wrong. She leaned against the car and lifted the curtains to look out. She saw a group of people surrounding Mrs. Luo’s tent and talking excitedly.
Seeing that the other party was about to attack, Mrs. Luo’s family came out quickly. It was unknown what Mrs. Luo and the others said, but although those people were still a little indignant, they still reluctantly dispersed.
Fortunately, Lin Suisui didn’t think too much about this matter. Mrs. Luo asked her third daughter, Fang Rui’er, to bring them dumplings.
“It’s all because of the Du family. Didn’t Mother bring us up the mountain to look for wild vegetables today? Coincidentally, we bumped into the Du family.”
You didn’t see it, but those people from the Du family were very fierce. My mother also pitied the two sisters from the Du family and couldn’t stand it anymore, so she helped persuade them. In the end, there was a commotion!
They were fierce, but we aren’t to be trifled with either. Besides, the Du family’s stepmother was unreasonable to begin with, so she was scolded away in the end!
She was the one who gathered a group of people to cause trouble for my mother!”
At this point, Fang Rui’er became even angrier. Without waiting for Lin Suisui to speak, she continued to complain unhappily, “My mother stood up for the sisters, but when it was time for the sisters to come out and explain what happened during the day, the sisters were unwilling to say a word!
Fortunately, there were others around during the day who could testify for us. Otherwise, we really wouldn’t have been able to explain things clearly this time and could only take the blame for bullying them!
Just thinking about it makes me angry!”
“This is similar to what my husband told me yesterday. My husband said that fortunately, he dodged quickly yesterday. Otherwise, he would have been pestered and unable to escape.” After hearing Fang Rui’er’s resentful complaint, Lin Suisui naturally thought of Lu Ze’s attitude when he mentioned this yesterday.
