Chapter 54 Wang Waner's Anger

With the medicinal powder provided by Shen Xiangwan, the snakes, insects, rats and ants that were crawling around because of the earth dragons finally stopped coming closer, but they still gathered outside the circle sprinkled with the medicinal powder. The dense number of them made people's scalps numb. Even if they were extremely tired, many people did not dare to sit on the ground, for fear that some of them would slip through the net and crawl into their clothes.

"I'll go see if the cart is still there."

After making sure that there was no danger for the time being, Wei Chengyi slowly stood up.

"and many more."

Shen Xiangwan hurriedly called him over. Facing his puzzled look, she rummaged in her bag again, took out a bottle of medicine, and sprayed it at him: "This is insect repellent. It has no harm to the human body. Be careful. Generally, earthquakes like this that can even shake mountains will have continuous aftershocks."

She should have thought of it earlier. From the schools of fish at noon to the flocks of birds at dusk, such an abnormality over such a long distance could only be caused by an earthquake or other natural disasters. Fortunately, the escorts did not find the cave immediately. Otherwise, if they gathered in the cave, it would cause even greater casualties.

"Yeah, you too, stay here and don't run around."

Before leaving, Wei Chengyi did not forget to give his child a warning, fearing that his little rascal would cause trouble again.

"understood."

Waving her hands, Shen Xiangwan sat down cross-legged on the spot. After Wei Chengyi left, she suddenly jumped up again.

"what happened?"

Seeing this, Zhao Yuping asked in confusion.

"No, mother, you stay here, I'll go get some firewood."

We don’t know whether their cart and the things on it are still there. The temperature is not high at night, and without firewood, they will probably all catch a cold tomorrow.

"Wait, sister-in-law. I'll go with you."

Wei Chenghe was about to stand up, but Shen Xiangwan stopped him: "You stay and protect mother and the others. Disasters are terrible, but human nature is even more terrible."

As she spoke, she glanced at the people around her. In an earthquake, every household suffered casualties, and some even had more than one or two deaths. On the other hand, they were unscathed. Who knows if they will do something stupid? With Wei Chenghe as a man to intimidate them, they should be afraid.

"okay."

Following her line of sight, Wei Chenghe understood what she meant: "Then be careful, and run away if there is any danger."

"Ah."

Nodding, Shen Xiangwan strode out in a random direction, hoping to come back as quickly as possible. She was still a little worried about Wei Chenghe being the only one around. After all, both Zhao Yuping and her daughter were too weak, and the cub was too young.

“Wow, wow, wow…my child…”

At the Shen family's side, Wang Wan'er was holding her son's body and crying her heart out. The moment the earthquake came, she reflexively hugged her daughter, thinking that her husband would pick up her son, but he chose to protect that bitch Shen Xiangyue. She was alone with two children and could not run fast at all. When the mountain collapsed, her son was crushed to death by the falling rubble. He died on the spot without even time to scream.

"Wan'er."

Shen Mingshu is his eldest and only legitimate son, and Shen Xiangdong's eyes turned red with pain.

"Don't call me, Shen Xiangdong, I hate you, it's you who killed my Shu Ge'er."

It would have been better if he didn't say anything. As soon as he did, Wang Wan'er immediately turned her spearhead on him, her tears filled with deep resentment. If he hadn't only cared about Shen Xiangyue, how could their son have died? It was him, he and Shen Xiangyue who killed her son.

"Wan'er, please stop messing around. I feel really bad that Shu Ge'er is gone." Shen Xiangdong wanted to reach out and hug her, but...

"I'm kidding? When the disaster happened, Shen Xiangyue just called you brother, and you immediately rushed over to protect her. Didn't you hear our child calling you dad? Now that he's dead, you're happy. And you, bitch, if it weren't for you, how could my son have died?"

Putting her son down and pushing him away, Wang Wan'er roared at them hysterically. She was wrong. She should have listened to her parents and asked for a divorce letter when the prime minister's residence was ransacked. She should have left this home that always seemed to revolve around Shen Xiangyue and left this heartless man who didn't even care about his own son.

"I···"

Shen Xiangdong wanted to defend himself, but he couldn't say the words. His wife's accusation was indeed true. He didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. When he reacted, he had already come to this open space with Yue'er on his back.

Wang Wan'er was angry and hated her. Shen Xiangyue didn't dare to say anything, but she couldn't help cursing in her heart. She had reminded them to be careful a long time ago, but they didn't take it seriously. If she didn't die, who would die?

However, thinking that they would most likely be trapped here, Shen Xiangyue no longer cared about that resentment. Even if she was still exiled, she had to reach Chenzhou alive and find a bright future for herself.

"Yue'er, did you know that the dragon would turn over?"

Shen Yishan was very sad about the death of his eldest grandson, but his attention turned to Shen Xiangyue. If she hadn't known about it long ago, why would she have made such a suggestion before?
After he said that, Jiang and the others all looked over, but Shen Xiangyue was still immersed in her own thoughts and did not respond at all.

"Yue'er?"

"what?"

Seeing this, Shen Yishan couldn't help but speak again, his voice was obviously a little deeper. Shen Xiangyue came back to his senses and asked in a daze: "Dad, you called me?"

"I'm asking you if you knew that there would be a dragon turning over."

Trying hard to suppress his displeasure, Shen Yishan asked again.

"No, I do not know."

Seeing that they were all looking at her, Shen Xiangyue waved her hands to deny it. She was not stupid. If she really let them know that she had known about it for a long time, they might blame everything on her. Then she would be really finished. At least on the road to exile, she would still need the protection of the Shen family.

"is it?"

Shen Yishan obviously didn't believe it: "Then why did you suggest not staying in the cave at night?"

"I, didn't I say that? It feels like something big is going to happen."

Shen Xiangyue clenched her fingers and tried her best to tell herself not to show any fear. No matter what, she couldn't let them treat her as the sinner of this family.

"It better be this way."

After staring at her deeply for a while, Shen Yishan did not express trust, nor did he continue to ask questions. Others also had different thoughts. The only thing that was certain was that Shen Xiangyue's position in this family was subtly collapsing.

There were many other people who were as noisy as their family. When the disaster struck, many people only cared about themselves and ignored their parents, wives and children. Most of them were injured or killed. The escorts were still taking the men from each family to search for survivors and bring back the bodies. The specific casualties have not yet been announced, but looking at the bloody bodies on the open ground, you can tell that the number should be extremely large.
