Chapter 213: Confrontation

Li Jicai was not talking to Wu Mian, and Wu Mian himself did not take the initiative to speak.

In this way, the two of them spent a quiet night leaning on this small campfire in silence.

The temperature in the mountains is very low at night, but fortunately, Wu Mian harvests a lot of dry firewood, and there is no need to worry about heating.

Wu Mian was like an arrow, and wanted to return to Chagouzi Village to see his old lady immediately, but he calculated carefully, even if he took a shortcut, he would have to walk over two mountains to get there.

Originally, in this wilderness, even if Wu Mian secretly got rid of Li Jicai, no one would find out if he was buried in the mountains.

However, Wu Mian is a mountain baby, who grew up in Chagouzi Village, although he moved evil thoughts and became a thief, but his own beliefs have not changed.

He is a child in the mountains, and the people of Chagouzi Village believe that there are gods in the mountains, and if they do anything unkind and unjust in the mountains, they will definitely be punished by the mountain gods, because the mountain gods are all in their eyes.

So out of taboo, Wu Mian didn't kill Li Jicai, although he had countless opportunities to kill her.

In addition, he is about to go back, and he is going to see his wife, and it is not appropriate to kill, which is unlucky.

Seeing that Li Ji is now sound and upright, there is nothing wrong with a woman who is honest and well-behaved, but she can sell it to a bachelor in the village, maybe for a good price or something.

is worried that she is a young lady from a noble family, she can't do any farm work, she can't help the family, and when the time comes, she will be disliked, and she will say that the woman he brought back is not good.

A hot potato is a hot potato.

The next morning, Li Jicai hadn't woken up yet, her eyes hadn't opened yet, but her nose smelled a strange fragrance, the warmth of the bonfire next to her was still slowly coming, and from time to time, she could hear the cracking sound of burning dry wood.

Because of this fragrance, Li Jicai unconsciously opened her eyes, and when she saw the man, she was squatting, holding a few wooden branches in his hands, interspersed with some wild vegetables, some mushrooms, and some black meat, I don't know what meat to eat.

I don't know why Li Jicai actually had a longing, could it be that she would take herself to eat?

Her stomach was grumbling with hunger, and she didn't even have the strength to speak, and she was supported by willpower.

But Li Jicai knew that she couldn't directly ask the man who brought her over to ask for food, so she could only use a tortuous method.

"What's your name?" Li Jicai, although the words were directed at Wu Mian, his eyes and attention were all on the mushrooms he was roasting.

If a person is hungry to a certain extent, it is estimated that even eating will be fragrant.

Wu Mian couldn't help but be stunned when he heard his question, then thought about it, weighed it, and thought that it would be okay to tell her now, because now they are calling the heavens and the earth in the mountains not to be spiritual, and no one can come to rescue him at all.

"My name is Li Jicai, and I am a subordinate of a minister." Seeing that Wu Mian didn't speak, Li Jicai couldn't help but take the initiative to start reporting to his home.

It turns out that her name is Li Jicai? This name is really familiar, Wu Mian thought back, did she see this name somewhere, or where had she heard it?

"Wu Mian." In exchange, Wu Mian also said his name. At least he wasn't worried about it now, and Li Jicai could tell anyone that he had been tied up here.

"Where are we going?"

"......" Regarding the name of the place where they were going, Wu Mian did not dare to tell Li Jicai easily.

Because he was afraid that he would secretly do something on the road to make a mark or something like that, so that people could find Chagouzi Village.

Chagouzi Village was his home, the only place he could rely on, and he would not allow outsiders to break in and destroy him, even if it was dangerous, he might have brought it there.

Li Jicai waited for a long time, and when he saw the uncertain and unpredictable look on his face, he knew that he was worried about something, and he didn't force him, so he waited patiently for a while, and there was no follow-up.

Li Jicai spoke again.

"So when are we going to get there? I wanted to wash up, but it was so dirty. Li Jicai tried not to let herself think about the bad side, she thought that the other party actually robbed her out, and did not kill her for the time being, indicating that there were probably other schemes.

Li Jicai felt that the more calm and calm he was, the more casual he was, so that the other party could let down his guard.

Wu Mian himself can be regarded as a person who has seen all kinds of **, but he has never seen a person like Li Jicai.

It's particularly strange.

The most important thing is that she does not know now, is it in the form of a hostage in his hands? Her net worth and life are completely in his hands, so she is not afraid at all?

This is what makes Wu Mian feel the most incredible.

"At least five days in the mountains." According to Wu Mian's own tutorial, it would take him about five days to walk back to Chagouzi Village, and the shortcuts he picked were all those more dangerous roads.

He just calculated his own tutorial and didn't care about Li Jicai.

"Then can I eat a little too, otherwise I'm afraid I won't have the strength to walk, and you won't have to drag me anymore." Li Jicai thought about it and said.

She just wanted to eat something, but she had to make such a big turn to make an excuse, so Li Jicai was still a little desolate in her heart.

Wu Mian was obviously stunned, he didn't expect Li Jicai to remember that when she woke up, Wu Mian said that he was dragging her to act.

After thinking about it, there was still a lot of food left at hand, and he had enough to eat himself, and he would share a little bit, and a woman wouldn't be able to eat much anyway.

She is somewhat right, if she can't get up on her stomach and can't move, then it is inevitable that she will have to work hard, and if he can climb with kinetic energy, then he doesn't need to exert any more effort.

So Wu Mian generously divided some of the wild vegetables and mushrooms in his hand, but Li Jicai immediately gobbled it up after stretching it, only to see that it was directly stuffed into his mouth, and he chewed it in a big gulp, his movements were so fast, and his eating appearance was rude.

And Li Jicai rolled his eyes because he ate too fiercely, his eyes were as big as copper bells.

"It turns out that Miss Everybody is nothing more than that." Wu Mian looked at Li Jicai, who was extremely rude, and couldn't help laughing.

"Miss, everyone? When will I become Miss Everybody? Li Jicai looked at Wu Mian inexplicably, the food in his mouth had not yet been swallowed, and asked vaguely.

Wu Mian didn't hear clearly, so he had to wait patiently for her to eat the food before listening to her.

"I said, I'm not Miss Everyone, I'm a welfare maid of someone's family, and then the one who was kicked out and wandered around and was later adopted by others, where is Miss Everyone."

After Li Jicai swallowed those wild vegetables in his stomach, he digested them for a while before he said seriously.

Originally, what he said was the truth, there was no place to make up at all, eating like something, so many years to be able to have a bite to eat, then don't they all have to compete to eat and rush to eat, who cares about the etiquette on those tables, those table etiquette can only be provided to people who have a surplus, like them, who live a poor and cold life, where can they think of lust after keeping warm?

But Wu Mian's face was full of disbelief, he didn't believe it, if it wasn't for Miss Everyone, then why would there be so many guards guarding her?

Why do so many people care about her? So many people regarded him as a guest, and even the Jiang family in Jinzhou had to invite her to come to the door as a guest, and these news were all hearsay from Wu Mian.

At least at this time, he finally remembered who Li Jicai was, Li Jicai was the woman who made the chickens and dogs jump in Jinzhou City during this time.

"Later, I went to live in the capital for a while, and I made a living by begging and selling vegetables, and I finally got to where I am now."

Li Jicai said with a sigh, she has struggled for so long, starting with a dog, relying on picking up all the equipment, and working hard all the way to the present. But isn't it a night back to before liberation?

The past is really unbearable.

"So, why?" Wu Mian was suddenly a little confused, so why did his employer let him rob Li Jicai? Which is not good to rob the rich and powerful, why rob, this kind of powerless, powerless, incompetent nameless junior.

"What, why?"

"Why did my employer want me to rob you and steal you?" Wu Mian felt a little strange.

"What? So why didn't you hand me over to your employer, but instead of bringing me to this place where birds don't? Li Jicai's eyes were full of confusion, and he could even feel a hint of pity.

Wu Mian couldn't help but be shocked, this woman looked different from ordinary people, her personality was different from ordinary people, and her style of acting was not the same as others, so she seemed to be a special case.

"I had already stolen you out that night, but your men were too powerful, and soon found out that you were gone, and immediately guards from all directions poured out to look for you.

And it was in the process that I lost the best opportunity to find my employer. I have no choice but to run away with you. Wu Mian's words were full of pity and regret, one step earlier, if only one step earlier.

"So that's the case, no wonder, no wonder." Li Jicai shook his head and judged.

"You know, you have to be honest in business."

"You are a Jiangyang thief, and you still pay attention to integrity, admire and admire." Li Jicai arched his hand at him, and said slightly contrivedly.

Wu Mian was a little embarrassed when he said it, but he was not stupid, no matter how he listened to it, he felt that Li Jicai was squeezing him.

When I was angry for a while, I didn't want to talk to Li Jicai.

And Li Jicai herself didn't want to talk to Wu Mian, because in the process of such a conversation, she had already figured out the information related to Wu Mian.
