Chapter 6: Lie at gunpoint
Hearing the voice, Qin Ran suddenly opened her eyes.

“……” He looked around.

Oh no, it’s daybreak, I have to get out quickly. I stood up quickly, changed my clothes and entered the space.

"Sir, this woman seems to be dead." Ma Liu looked at Li Jia.

He pointed at Qin Ran who was lying on the ground. He saw that everyone else went to get dry food, but this woman didn't go. He felt it was strange that she was still lying here.

She didn't wake up even with so many people talking. She looked like she was dead. It's a pity for such a little girl.

“……”Li Jia didn’t say anything.

He glanced at Qin Ran, whose eyes were closed, hesitated for a moment, and then leaned over and squatted down.

Just as he was about to reach out to feel her breath, Qin Ran opened her eyes as soon as he reached out his hand.

"Why are you pretending to be dead!" He retracted his hand in fear.

He stared at Qin Ran with dissatisfaction, thinking that the woman was dead. She suddenly opened her eyes, which scared him.

“Who’s pretending to be dead? Are you sick?” Qin Ran also glared at Li Jia and Ma Liu.

Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise it would have been easy to be exposed. Seeing this woman was so energetic.

Li Jia glared at her again with dissatisfaction.

"Humph!"

He walked back angrily and started shouting at everyone again.

"Get up and get going!"

Everyone stood up at this point. Qin Ran also stood up and followed behind, then raised her head and looked forward.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Duan Jingyun could still walk.

"..."

The medicine I ordered will take a few days to arrive. I hope he can hold on.

"Gurgle, gurgle", my stomach growled and I remembered that I hadn't eaten yet. While no one was paying attention, I took a few steps back.

He took out a sausage from the space, covered it with an oil-paper umbrella, and ate it while walking.

Halfway through the meal, I heard a child's voice coming from the front.

"Mom, my feet hurt so much that I can't walk anymore."

Duan Jingshan's daughter Duan Rong, pulled Xiao Liu's arm and howled with her mouth wide open. She had never walked such a long distance and was almost dead from exhaustion.

"Mother, my feet hurt too." Son Duan Zhuo also pulled Xiao Liu's sleeve.

His feet were covered with blisters and were burning with pain. He really didn't want to walk anymore.

Xiao Liu, who was already feeling upset, immediately became furious after hearing what her daughter and son said.

"We've only been walking for a short while. You have to keep going even if you can't walk anymore." Xiao Liu was also furious.

The two arms that were holding them yesterday are almost numb, and I don’t want to walk anymore after just starting the journey.

If he started hugging them now, he would be exhausted. Seeing that his mother was angry, Duan Rong pulled Duan Jingshan's sleeve again.

"Father, I can't walk anymore."

"How old are you? You still need others to hold you. Get out of here!" Duan Jingshan glared at Duan Rong and Duan Zhuo with dissatisfaction.

If he were in the Marquis's Mansion at other times, he would satisfy any request made by his son and daughter.

But things are different now. I have to protect myself. It's hard to say whether I can make it to the destination alive.

Seeing his father and mother say this, Duan Rong opened his mouth wide and howled again.

"Mother, I can't walk anymore, wuwuwu..."

"You have to go even if you can't. If you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck for meeting an unlucky star." Xiao Liu shook off Duan Rong's hand again.

He glared at Qin Ran with dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for that unlucky star, how could he have suffered so much?

After hearing what their mother said, Duan Rong and Duan Zhuo both looked at Qin Ran and pointed at her nose with gritted teeth.

"Unfortunate star, you will not die well!"

It's all because of this bad woman. She caused them to suffer so much. Why doesn't she just die?

After hearing the two of them scolding, Duan Hao, the son of the second son Duan Jinghe, also started to scold. "You will die a miserable death!"

My mother said that it was this woman who caused them to suffer.

“…” Qin Ran.

Damn it, I was just watching the fun and got shot.

Although it was indeed the original owner's fault, he was still very angry when three seven or eight-year-old children pointed at his nose and scolded him.

But she couldn't do anything to them, as if she was an adult and was arguing with a few children.

Moreover, her current health could not afford any mishaps, so she could only continue to be timid, but she felt really upset.

Old Madam Duan had two sons. The eldest son, Duan An, had two sons, Duan Jingshan and Duan Jinghe.

Duan Jingshan had a son and a daughter, Duan Zhuo and Duan Rong.

Duan Jinghe had only one son, named Duan Hao.

The second son was named Duan Lei, who was the deceased Marquis of Zhenguo and also had two sons. The eldest was Duan Jingfei, who also had a pair of children, Duan Ze and Duan Miao.

The second one is the original owner’s man Duan Jingyun, a first-rank general who defends the country.

The book says that the eldest family is narrow-minded and calculating, and it seems to be true, otherwise they would not be able to raise such a child.

He pulled the oil-paper umbrella down again and continued on his way. Out of sight, out of mind. He also ate the remaining half of the sausage.

It was almost noon and the sun was getting hotter again. Even with an umbrella, it was still so hot that it felt suffocating.

The people in front were in worse condition than her. They were all sunburned, especially the children.

From time to time, there were cries and the sounds of women beating and scolding, and the team suddenly became noisy.

At first, Li Jia was able to remain calm, but as time went on, words were no longer enough.

The main thing was that people kept fainting, and seeing that the progress was getting slower and slower, Ma Liu approached Li Jia.

"Sir, why don't we take a break? The sun is too hot." He pointed to the sun above his head.

He was feeling groggy from the sun and felt like he could faint at any moment.

“……”Li Jia glanced at the team.

They could see that they couldn't even lift their feet. If they didn't stop to rest, more people would probably faint.

Thinking of this, he shouted to everyone.

"Rest here for a while."

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed to the woods nearby. Some of them just lay down and started gasping for breath.

Qin Ran moved slowly. By the time she walked over, she found that most of the shady areas were occupied by people.

If he walked too far forward, he would not be able to walk any further. He looked left and right and saw the position next to Duan Jingyun.

He walked over without hesitation. Even if he hated her, he wouldn't kill her. He could just lend her a place to sit and not offend her.

Duan Jingyun leaned against a big tree and was about to close his eyes and take a nap when he saw Qin Ran running towards him.

Her eyes suddenly turned cold, and Qin Ran walked over, supporting her big belly, as if she hadn't seen anything.

She carefully sat down next to him and turned sideways.

"..."

As long as you don't see it, then nothing will happen.

“…” Duan Jingyun’s face was gloomy.

He stared at Qin Ran in front of him with dissatisfaction, ever since she testified against the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion in the court that day.

I have never been so close to her before, and now seeing her in front of me, I really want to kill her with one palm.

If it weren't for her, how could the Zhenguo Marquisate have ended up like this? The more I look at her, the angrier I get.

Qin Ran felt a chill on her back. Without turning around, she could sense the look in the man's eyes as he glared at her.

Just as I was about to move to the side, I felt a sharp pain in my stomach.

"Emma!"
