The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 1688: Chapter 1688: Everyone Will Gather

Xia Yi seemed a bit anxious and raised her hands, making some kind of gesture.

Although Meng Yunzheng couldn’t quite understand it, Shu Yu exclaimed softly, ”Xia Yi found Uncle Meng, he’s with her.”

Meng Pei, standing behind, was puzzled, ”You understood that?”

She just waved her hands a couple of times, and can convey such meaning?

Shu Yu’s mouth twitched, this is probably... the tacit understanding between girls.

However, even though Meng Yunzheng and the others were surprised, they still believed her. But Xia Yi was far away, on the opposite side, with Jiang Kuanyu and those two jackals in between.

Meng Yunzheng frowned. Fortunately, Jiang Kuanyu and the others were getting further from the storeroom while avoiding the jackals.

Once they inevitably ran to the other side, Meng Yunzheng immediately led the group toward Xia Yi’s direction.

As soon as Xia Yi opened the door, the group flashed inside.

This room seemed to be a place for storing discarded items, filled with many tables and chairs, but all broken, making the already not-large room even more cramped.

When the group entered, they crowded the already narrow room.

Meng Yunzheng immediately saw Uncle Meng, lying in the corner, covered in blood. Everyone’s expression changed as they hurriedly approached and asked, ”How is Uncle Meng?”

Xia Yi said, ”He was tortured; his body is full of wounds, and he has internal injuries too. I have no medicine, and now the wounds are worsening and he’s developed a high fever.”

Medicine, Meng Yunzheng had some on him. He quickly found the medicine for internal and external injuries and fed Uncle Meng a pill.

Uncle Meng was already semiconscious, murmurously asking for water.

But where would there be water in this abandoned room? Outside was chaotic, and it wouldn’t be easy to find water quickly.

Meng Yunzheng frowned. Water was needed not just for drinking; Uncle Meng’s wounds had to be treated immediately, and they needed clean water for a simple wash.

Xia Yi understood this well. She told the others, ”I’ll go find water. I’m familiar with the black market and know the nearest place with water.”

”But it’s chaotic and dangerous outside,” Meng Pei spoke up, knowing there’s water in the Beast Camp, contemplating how to avoid the chaos and reach there promptly.

However, Xia Yi had already stood up, ”Don’t worry, this bit of chaos won’t trouble me. I’ll go and return quickly, you all be careful.”

Previously, when she opened the door, it was to go out and find water, and that was when she noticed Shu Yu and the others.

Meng Yunzheng nodded to Meng Pei, ”Xia Yi is quite capable.”

Since his son said so, Meng Pei no longer objected and just whispered, ”Be careful out there.”

The mountain bandit listened in confusion. Xia Yi was going out to fetch water by herself? Was she out of her mind? And Young Master Meng just said she’s quite capable? Is that a joke?

But he didn’t care much about that; seeing Xia Yi really leaving, he quickly closed the door and hastily said to Meng Yunzheng, ”Sir, now that the person is found, and with the chaos outside, we should seize this chance to immediately get your uncle out of here. Also, my antidote, don’t forget to give it to me.”

He had taken the antidote once, but Meng Yunzheng said it was only for temporary relief.

The mountain bandit was furious but had no choice; he just wanted this troublesome lot to quickly get out of the black market.

Meng Yunzheng wiped Uncle Meng’s sweat, his head not lifted, and said, ”No rush, let’s treat my uncle’s injuries first.”
