The head of the Mu family

Chapter 189 Escape

Nara ran back, gave her a long hug, and then left reluctantly.

Huai Sheng took off his women's clothing and gave it to the mute slave, then wrapped himself in a quilt.

Since they're all afraid of losing their heads, they'll definitely handle it well.

Just past noon, Shuwu indeed returned.

As soon as he returned, he exchanged pleasantries with the other ladies and then came over impatiently.

"My period is almost over. If you're still a decent human being, please wait a little longer!"

Huai Sheng spoke coldly, his face expressionless.

"Okay~ I'll go take care of things first, and then come back for dinner later!"

Shu Wu arrived at dinner time, I wonder what good news he had brought, he even brought a jar of wine.

Huai Sheng didn't drink either, but he didn't put on a sour face either, and just ate his meal wrapped in a blanket.

Seeing that Huai Sheng didn't show any displeasure, Shu Wu drank even more wine.

By the time we finished our meal, it was completely dark.

Shu Wu pulled Huai Sheng over to kiss Xiang, but Huai Sheng pushed him away forcefully.

Wrapped in a blanket, she lost her balance and fell onto the wool blanket, the blanket flying to the side.

Huai Sheng was only wearing a menstrual belt, and Shu Wu had already drunk a lot of alcohol.

This blood-pumping scene unfolded before his eyes, and all the blood in Shu Wu's body rushed to one place, his mind went completely blank and he lost all reason.

Huai Sheng, who had fallen to the ground, quickly stepped back. Shu Wu squatted down and grabbed Huai Sheng's slender ankle.

Huai Sheng cried out in alarm and began to struggle desperately with his hands and feet, crying and cursing loudly in despair.

"You beast! You'll die a horrible death!"

I'm going to kill you!

I'm going to kill you!

Nara, who had been hiding outside for a while, heard that her beloved was being bullied and began to fight back with all her might.

His blood and qi rushed straight to the top of his head, and he instantly lost all reason.

He drew his sword, kicked aside the two guards, and rushed in.

That beautiful body that she once enjoyed is now being ravaged by that beast.

The sounds of her beloved's intense pain kept reaching her ears.

The beautiful sound from a few days ago stands in stark contrast to the painful sound I hear now.

Hearing the screams was like a knife stabbing into my heart, again and again.

His eyes burned with rage, and Nara picked up his knife and slashed at the beast's back. The beast turned around in pain.

Shuwu's bloodshot eyes saw that it was his son, and he didn't react for a moment.

Seeing his own son's equally bloodshot eyes, Shu Wu was momentarily stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Nara, who had lost his mind, looked at his beloved’s body lying on the ground covered in bruises, her face full of tears and despair.

The beloved was heartbroken and kept murmuring:

"You beast... I'm going to kill you!"

You beast, I'm going to kill you!

...

Upon seeing this scene, only one thought crossed Nara's mind:

I'm going to kill this beast who violated the woman I love!

He immediately grabbed the knife and stabbed it into Shuwu's stomach.

Blood spurted out, and Shuwu's eyes widened. He clutched his wound and fell to the ground, staring at his son in disbelief.

Nara seemed to suddenly come to his senses, seeing that he had stabbed his father.

He collapsed to the ground in a panic, watching the blood flow continuously and shouting:

"Medic! Medic!"

A group of servants rushed in upon hearing the noise.

In an instant, chaos erupted. Some people searched for things to stop the bleeding, while others knelt to the side, crying in fear.

Some people quickly went out to call for the army doctor and others.

When Huai Sheng was stabbed in the abdomen, he quickly rolled to the side into the shadows.

Pick up the cloak from the ground, wrap it around yourself, and quietly move away from the crowd as people come in.

Once outside, taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, they ran quickly out of the camp.

He took the men's clothing that had been hidden away from the stables, calmed himself down, and quickly put it on.

He grabbed a handful of hay and led the outermost horse.

Taking advantage of the change of guard, they mounted their horses and galloped away.

Based on the knowledge gleaned from the conversation, and observing the celestial phenomena to determine direction, they sped eastward.

They ran out of the camp in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Suddenly, the horse beneath him seemed to be provoked by something, let out a loud neigh, stopped, and turned to run back.

Huai Sheng quickly tumbled off his horse. Luckily, the ground was overgrown with weeds, but he still twisted his ankle a little.

Huai Sheng pulled up some long grass to bind his ankles and soles, thus determining his direction.

Ignoring the pain in his ankle and the stinging sensation in the soles of his feet, he ran wildly eastward.

He had no shoes on his feet, the straw he was tied with had long since fallen off somewhere, and his feet must have been torn to shreds.

Huai Sheng disregarded everything else; he had only one belief:

run!

When he couldn't run anymore, he slowed down and walked. He didn't know how long he had been running, but gradually he had no strength left.

It was still dark, and all around was a despairing, endless darkness and desolation.

As darkness deepened in the east, Huai Sheng, who was mechanically moving forward, felt as if he could no longer take another step.

Endless darkness, endless wasteland, a broken body—all of this breeds despair.

Just as the first hint of dawn appeared in the east, Huai Sheng, exhausted, collapsed in despair amidst the endless darkness.

Before he fell, he seemed to hear someone calling him Huaisheng, or perhaps calling him the head of the household.

My last thought as I fell:

What will happen to my two children?

Even if I were to live a second life, would I still never see my child grow up?

Fortunately, Qianyan will take good care of them.

Suddenly everything went black, and all thoughts vanished.

The east was beginning to lighten with the first light of dawn.

A figure leaped off the horse and pounced on Huai Sheng's side.

He picked up the unconscious Huaisheng, turned around, and fired a signal flare into the sky.

Trembling, she pulled the person into her arms, unsure of what to do.

In the morning light, Huai Sheng's face, neck, and hands were covered in scratches.

Her bare feet were rotten, and several toenails had been torn off. When we tried to feed her water, it all dripped down her chin.

For the first time, Yuan Su felt that his brain was completely unable to function.

The patriarch's breathing was already very weak; the chill of the morning on the grassland was nothing compared to the coldness in his heart at this moment.

Yuan Su had no other thoughts in his mind; he absolutely couldn't let the patriarch get cold.

He held the patriarch's soft body in his arms and wrapped him in his cloak.

A moment later, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

Yuan Su's vision was blurred by tears, making it impossible for him to see who was approaching. He could only mutter repeatedly:

"I can't let the head of the family get cold!"

I can't let the head of the family get cold...

Upon hearing this, Qianyan, who had lunged forward, felt a metallic taste in her throat and spat out another mouthful of blood.

He quickly suppressed his emotions and rushed over to check on her.

Huai Sheng's breathing was very weak, and his neck pulse was also very faint.

After Qianyan finished the check, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Yuan Su quickly wrapped Huai Sheng in his cloak and cried out:

"The master is still warm!"

The head of the household is still warm...

At this critical juncture, Qianyan, who had been on tenterhooks for so many days, was left speechless by Yuansu's words.

"Your master, my wife, is still alive!"

"Really? I knew it! I knew the patriarch wasn't dead!"

As she spoke, she hugged Huaisheng and finally burst into tears.

Qianyan reached out and gently hugged Huaisheng, tenderly wrapping him in her cloak, and quickly poured some water for him.

Yuan Su sat there, both crying and laughing.

When He Lirongchuan arrived, he saw this scene.

Qianyan explained to them, and the two quickly came to check on Huaisheng with concern.

"Second Master Li, please slow down..."

She choked up as she spoke.

Yan Ran stepped forward, lifted the cloak to take a look, then immediately turned her back, tears streaming down her face.

"Can Huaisheng still withstand the jolting of a horse?"

Qianyan shook her head, her eyes red.

“Then we’ll wait here for everyone to meet up. This includes me, you, and Madam Wu, Qingxue, and Qingchen.”

I also brought two female soldiers with me; we took turns carrying them back!
