Chapter 1710: Be More Like a Man
The wind was blowing harder and harder. Some people’s lips were frozen purple. Things looked quite bad.
Ning Shu felt like the cold wind was blowing into the crevices of her bones. She could now understand the saying about being chilled to the bone.
Despite having cultivated the Unsurpassable Martial Arts, she was still a bit overwhelmed, let alone others.
“It’s so cold.” Lu Shanshan couldn’t help but rub her arms. She looked at the uncle and said, “If the snow doesn’t stop, we won’t make it through the night.”
795 came up to Ning Shu’s side and said, “Look at the way Lu Shanshan is acting. She must want the boss to take off his clothes and drape them on her.”
Ning Shu squinted at 795. “Aren’t you way too petty? Why do you have to act like this to a woman? Be more like a man. Besides, even if it’s a single piece of clothing, it’s still gentlemanly, understand?”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk…” 795 snorted. “What do you know about what kind of person she is?”
“Is she from an ancient era?” asked Ning Shu. Lu Shanshan the name of the body, her number was 496.
“As if. She’s a modern person. She just thinks that she can act cool by wearing ancient clothes,” said 795.
“Why bicker with a woman?” asked Ning Shu indifferently.
795 grimaced. “We have to head back now.”
Sure enough, Fan Junyang struggled for a while before saying, “Let’s go back.”
“That’s fine,” said the uncle indifferently. He turned around and walked back.
The crowd was speechless. They had to go back now?
“I’d rather freeze to death than return. I’m sure I’ll die if I go back.” Some people voiced their objections. They were holding their arms and shivering.
“Those of you want to stay, stay. Those who want to go back, return with me,” said Fan Junyang with some impatience.
“You brought us to this hellhole. So many people have already died, yet you still have this attitude? Fan Junyang, you son of a bitch.” Some people were very dissatisfied with Fan Junyang’s attitude.
Fan Junyang ruffled his hair in annoyance. “So, what do you want? Things are like this anyway. Go back with me if you want.”
Ning Shu raised her hand and said, “I want to go back.”
Several more agreed with the proposal. Humans were prone to herd mentality. Seeing so many people wanting to return, even if they did not want to go back, their resolutions still wavered.
Now, they had to walk back again in the cold wind, their feet sinking unevenly into the snow.
Ning Shu felt really helpless. They were completely wasting their energy.
So all they did was make a round trip. The journey wasn’t far, but by the time they returned to the old woman’s house, it was already dark.
“Why are you guys back again? Didn’t you already leave?” The old woman opened the door. Seeing the group, she said in an irritated tone, “What are you doing back?”
“We really can’t leave in this weather. We had no choice but to come back. Please give us shelter from the wind and rain,” said Fan Junyang sincerely.
“Now, you talk so eloquently. You wanted to rob my granddaughter just earlier today. Are you actually planning to kill us?” asked the old woman warily.
“There’s no such thing.” Fan Junyang said, “I just wanted to see what was around Xiao Lan’s neck. I never thought of taking Xiao Lan’s things for myself.”
“I don’t trust you guys.” The old woman was still vigilant.
“Grandma, just let them stay in the woodshed,” said Xiao Lan expressionlessly. Her pupils were vacant and unable to focus.
Although this woodshed was said to be a room, it was simply a shed. It leaked from all sides and could not shelter one from the wind and snow.
The crowd felt annoyed. They had been toiling away for some time now. However, after working so hard in coming back, they had to stay in a leaky shed. This treatment was much worse than before.
“We’ll stay in the main hall. Just give us a place to stand.” Fan Junyang bargained with the old woman.
Things gradually developed to the point that Fan Junyang was about to use threats. The old woman finally reluctantly agreed to their stay.
