Chapter 195 The Truth
In everyone's heart, Murong Ling'er's image became increasingly taller, and unknowingly, she won everyone's favor again.
Whether adults or children, there was a bit more awe and gratitude in the eyes when they looked at her. Even Yuan Zhiqiang, who had always been suspicious, believed in the prisoners' statement amid the whispers and discussions among the surrounding prisoners.
"If Miss Murong hadn't accidentally lit a fire, how could the forest suddenly catch fire? It must be God using Miss Murong's hand to save us all!" A convict said devoutly, and the people around him nodded in agreement.
However, the situation was a little more complicated for several families of exiles whose family members died last night. Their faces were filled with mixed expressions of sadness and joy. They were sad about the departure of their loved ones and happy that the crisis of the team had been resolved.
Some people even secretly blamed Murong Ling'er in their hearts for not burning the forest earlier, which led to the loss of their lives. The resentful look flashed through the crowd, but was also caught by those who were interested.
When Sun Ying woke up, the fire had been completely extinguished, leaving only a scorched earth emitting a pungent smell.
Her head felt extremely dizzy, as if shrouded in a thick fog. She felt hungry and dizzy, and there were faint pains in her neck. Those were the marks left by the poisonous spider bite, as if constantly reminding her of the thrilling experience last night.
"Sister, you're finally awake." Sun Shaojie was the first to notice that Sun Ying had woken up. His little face, originally filled with fatigue and worry, instantly lit up with surprise. Like a happy little deer, he shouted, "Sister, you're finally awake! I was so worried about you!"
Sun Ying looked around blankly, with a look of confusion and helplessness in her eyes. When she saw Chuchu and others, she gradually came to her senses and realized where she was.
Her eyes subconsciously searched the carriage, an instinctive search for the figure that worried her.
However, when she didn't see the person she wanted to see, her eyes dimmed instantly, like a star that had lost its luster.
"Sister, why don't you say anything? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Sun Shaojie jumped up in shock when he thought of this possibility. His little face was full of fear and his eyes were slightly red.
Chuchu and Wang looked at each other worriedly, but Chu Yinyin rolled her eyes. This woman went to find her elder brother as soon as she woke up. Judging from her expression, she must have fallen for her elder brother?
As expected, Sun Ying shook her head gently, smiled weakly, and said to Sun Shaojie, "Don't worry, sister, I'm fine." Although the smile was weak, it was like a spring breeze that blew away the haze in Sun Shaojie's heart.
Upon hearing this, Wang and Chuchu breathed a sigh of relief. Wang smiled and said, "Miss Sun, do you remember that you were bitten by a poisonous spider last night?" Her voice was soft and carried a hint of concern.
Sun Ying nodded slightly, her heart filled with gratitude towards the young man. She knew very well that if the young man had not begged Mr. Li to save her first, she would probably have died by now.
My thoughts gradually drifted back to last night, and the vague scenes before I fell into a coma flooded into my mind like a tide.
She vaguely remembered that when her consciousness was about to fade, she saw Mr. Chu's anxious eyes, as if his whole world depended on her, and Mr. Li's busy figure, trying his best to save her life.
Originally, Sun Ying wanted to express her gratitude to both of them in person.
However, things did not go as planned. Her weak body could not support her and she fainted.
Whenever she thought of this, Sun Ying's heart was filled with an indescribable feeling of gratitude and guilt. She slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "I have to thank Master Chu and Master Li for saving my life! If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would never have the chance to see Shaojie again in this lifetime..."
When she said this, her eyes couldn't help but become moist, and her eyes revealed endless gratitude.
Sun Shaojie's eyes were red. This five or six-year-old child was a nobleman who grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth and surrounded by jade. But overnight he lost his family and became a fugitive.
How can outsiders understand the panic, fear, helplessness and terror that someone feels?
Last night, Sun Ying was in a coma all night, and he was also worried and sleepless. Like a frightened little rabbit, he curled up in the corner, always paying attention to his sister's movements.
It was not until Sun Ying woke up that he seemed to regain life and his young heart found a little comfort.
The sight of the brother and sister relying on each other instantly touched Wang's heart. She sighed softly, and that sigh was full of sympathy and pity.
She personally poured a glass of water and brought it to Sun Ying's mouth, saying, "Drink some water first!" Her movements were gentle and delicate, as if she was taking care of her loved one.
Sun Ying drank the glass of water gratefully and obediently. Sun Shaojie hurriedly took out the two black steamed buns he had received in the morning from his clothes. The black steamed buns were already a little cold and hard, but in his eyes they were extremely precious. He broke them into pieces bit by bit and fed them into Sun Ying's mouth, his eyes full of concentration and care.
During this time, Yuan Zhiqiang came over to take a look. He strode into the carriage and his eyes stayed on Sun Ying for a moment. Seeing Sun Ying wake up, the tension in his heart finally eased.
He secretly felt fortunate, for if anything happened to Sun Ying, he would be in even more trouble.
Then he thought about how unlucky he was on this mission! Several people had already drowned themselves, and just last night, several more had been killed by poisonous spiders.
There were originally twenty to thirty female prisoners, but in just a few days, several of them disappeared.
Now those who are left are still young. We can neither beat or scold them, nor let them starve or freeze. It really makes people feel extremely depressed and helpless to gather these people!
He frowned tightly, his heart filled with deep helplessness and regret.
When Sun Ying saw Yuan Zhiqiang taking such good care of her, she gradually felt less anxious than she had been at first.
Ever since she accidentally caught a glimpse of the man who had saved her life and taken the jade pendant standing next to Master Chu, she knew very well that her move was the right one.
Miss Chu inexplicably showed special care for herself and took good care of her in every way. As for Yuan Zhiqiang, not only did he no longer dare to have any bad intentions towards her, he even protected her silently in secret.
All these changes actually originated from that Master Chu.
Although she didn't know what the jade pendant meant, she knew very well that she had to tell a huge lie in order to seek this rare protection.
However, in the past few days, when she discovered that there were changes in the people around Master Chu, her heart, which had finally settled down, began to panic again.
Because she knew very well that this lie would not stand up to scrutiny. It might be able to get away with it temporarily, but it would be impossible to conceal it forever.
One day, the truth will come to light.
Therefore, she must seize this opportunity to get what she desires. Some opportunities, once missed, will never come back again.
Beneath Sun Ying's weak expression, there was a gleam in her eyes. It was a kind of firmness and determination that quietly surged beneath her seemingly weak appearance.
