As Su Muqing's words fell, the entire audience instantly fell silent. Even the children who had been sobbing had their mouths tightly covered by their parents.
Wasn't this eldest daughter of the Su family speaking too terrifyingly? How did she know so clearly?
At this moment, on the analysis panel, the fear values of all the adults present had risen to over 70. Old Madam Chen's had even climbed to 93%! It was unknown if she would be scared to death and break down.
Seeing the increasingly strange gazes on Su Muqing, Wang Shi quickly said, "We didn't kill anyone. What are you afraid of? Aunt Chen, are you still unwilling to stop? Or does your old Su family want to split up?"
Wang Shi also began to speak threateningly. Anyway, she had long disliked this old woman. She was getting more excessive with age!
When Third Grandma saw Wang Shi speak, on the matter of targeting Old Madam Chen, she had always been unwilling to fall behind. "Exactly, you should split up and go! Look at your old monster appearance, how can you compensate me if you scare my child?"
To split up from the villagers? That wouldn't do! Old Madam Chen was just about to change the subject when Third Grandma happened to confront her. She quickly found a way to dismount and turned to bicker with Third Grandma and the others.
Seeing Old Madam Chen go to pester others, Su Cuiling stepped forward and helped Su Cuixia up, while quietly muttering, "This Su Muqing's heart is too vicious. She actually incited Grandma to beat you to death again and again! Doesn't she consider that the reason you were beaten so badly is because of her? She even said your screams affected them. She's truly a scoundrel!"
Su Cuiling had not changed since childhood. At any time, she never forgot to brainwash Su Cuixia, wanting her to be the leader and target Su Muqing. However, this time, Su Cuixia did not curse Su Muqing vehemently as usual.
Although Su Cuiling found it a bit strange, she thought to herself that perhaps it was because she had just been beaten, and so severely, that she hadn't recovered her senses yet!
Su Cuixia, who was helped up, quickly glanced at Su Muqing standing there, then glanced at Su Cuiling, who was holding her and still chattering.
She didn't say anything. Enduring the pain, she sat quietly to the side, her hand trembling as she continued to shell the corn.
Su Muqing, who had already turned away, turned back and looked at Su Cuixia with confusion. The small dot representing her on the analysis panel had changed significantly.
Her original guilt value had been converted into a 93 gratitude value, her shame value rose to 97, and several hatred values were steadily increasing. Strangest of all, there was a 61% loyalty?
The generated analysis data writhed like tentacles, competing to devour the original dot. Especially those fierce hatred values, intertwined like vines, were still growing.
Why were there such fluctuating psychological emotions? What was Su Cuixia struggling with? Was she preparing to turn to the dark side?
Over there, the elderly Anti-Chen group led by Third Grandma was in full force, surrounding Old Madam Chen and scolding her until she was dizzy and disoriented!
Old Madam Chen faced the enemy alone, with no reinforcements behind her. In the end, she had to retreat in defeat. Looking at her three silent daughters-in-law, she suddenly felt exhausted!
The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. But now she dared not hit anyone to vent her anger, so she spat a mouthful of phlegm at her three daughters-in-law! "Pah! You useless bitches! Tell me yourselves, what use are you to me? Huh? Your own mother-in-law is being bullied like this, and you just watch from the side, not daring to let out a fart. You..."
Suddenly, a series of "poof poof poof" sounds rang out. One of her daughters-in-law, or someone in the hall, let out a long string of farts. In any case, it fulfilled Chen's request for a fart!
This comical turn of events made everyone present burst into laughter. Third Grandma even laughed so hard she couldn't straighten up, which infuriated Chen to the point of collapse. Now she was completely out of energy to make a fuss!
After the hall quieted down, everyone rested for a while longer. Then Wang Shi began to gather everyone to pack their belongings. It was estimated that they would depart soon.
At this time, Zhou Shi also came to find Su Muqing, saying that the ox cart had been modified and she should go and see if it was okay.
Originally, there were twelve ox carts in the village. This time, they got a few more from the rioters. Coupled with Xu Fu's four carts, the number of ox carts increased to twenty-three, which could be described as a large ox cart troop.
The village reorganized the ox cart resources. Now, except for those who had pushcarts and the strong laborers who needed to stand guard, everyone else could basically fit if they squeezed together.
Su Muqing's group now had 5 ox carts, the most among the small groups. Therefore, they chose to walk at the very rear.
With the addition of Third Brother's group, the safety factor of the rear was the highest in the entire team. Su Mingyong and the others were arranged in other positions.
Because they didn't want to be seen, Lu Yuzhi's ox cart was the only one with a carriage. He was placed in the cart early, with Xu Fu and Doctor Yang attending to him closely.
Su Muqing transferred a large portion of the items from her ox cart to Xu Fu's group. She also asked Third Brother to help dismantle the extra cart frame.
She firmly nailed the cart boards to both sides of their ox cart and reinforced the shafts and beams. A meter-long wooden stick was nailed at each of the four corners.
Using surplus mats and bedsheets, she enclosed all four sides and the top, ensuring that the inside could not be seen from the outside. Then, she covered the vacated space with thick straw mats and rush mats, making it comfortable to lie down and sleep.
Ta-da! The first ox cart plus was born! It was simply a perfect RV, wasn't it?
When everything was ready, around 6:30 PM, the ox cart troop officially set off, heading towards the county town of Shiqiao, Si'an Prefecture.
Zhou Shi went back to Xu Fu's ox cart to take care of Lu Yuzhi. Su Cuiping felt it was still early, and the ox cart was too tightly covered, so she couldn't see anything. She wanted to go to Wang Shi's side to play for a while.
As Su Muqing said she wanted to rest in the cart, she had Lin Rongrong hold the baby and accompany Su Cuixia as they went over. When the two reached the front of the team, she entered the space through her consciousness.
She first accessed the backup friend list for plane trading and connected with Lin Xue from the apocalypse. After a short while, the connection was established.
Lin Xue was still hiding in that staff lounge. Her emotions had stabilized a bit. Now there were two more survivors there, one of whom had gained fire elemental abilities. She falsely claimed to have gained space elemental abilities, and the three were preparing to form a team.
Su Muqing also asked and learned that Lin Xue's space had not been upgraded, nor had a mall appeared. The two briefly exchanged information about their respective situations before beginning the trade.
This time, Su Muqing asked for toilet paper, sanitary napkins, wet wipes, and so on. Then she also gave Lin Xue a large batch of food and suggested that she recruit more people with abilities.
She told her to collect more gold, silver, and jewelry in the apocalypse, and she could exchange it with her for food. Lin Xue thought it was feasible and agreed. Only then did they end the trade.
