Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 310 - 302: All They Could Do Was Wrap Up the Firearms and Put Them in the Bundle
The improved item was handed to Ah Huai, so he could have a strategy to deal with it.
Thinking of this, after discussing the donation to the Residence with Nanny Lou and the others, Ruan Mian immediately drew the improved blueprint.
She already had ideas while on the road, so it didn’t take long for the blueprint to be completed. Fortunately, the blacksmith shop wasn’t closed when she found it.
Although the blacksmith was bewildered and didn’t know what use these parts would have, the price offered by Ruan Mian made it hard to refuse.
Even if it was late at night, he was still in the house hammering away, ready by the next morning.
Ruan Mian didn’t bother with the inn, just waited for him to finish, then took it back to the inn and assembled it.
Because she was still in the city, she couldn’t test the guns.
She could only wrap the firearms up and put them in her luggage.
Aunt whispered, "Once we’re out of the city, let’s ride Little Tiger deep into the mountains to test fire it."
However, they didn’t expect the opportunity to go to the battlefield would come before testing the guns.
They left the city sitting in two carriages, and before leaving, Xu Mo’er, Nanny Lou, and several women came to see them off.
Nanny Lou and the others prepared enough dry food and water, trying their best to ensure their journey would be comfortable.
Though they didn’t lack supplies, the generous gesture was hard to refuse.
Xu Mo’er even expressed gratitude by kneeling, Ruan Mian barely had time to help her up and she already bowed and spoke.
"We can’t repay the girl’s lifesaving grace, but anyhow, we will cherish the opportunity the girl has given us and manage the health preservation hall well. We await the girl’s visit anytime to reunite with us."
Ruan Mian couldn’t bear such a grand gesture and hurriedly helped her up, saying to them.
"It was just a small effort, moreover, with the world being unfair to women, I did it precisely because I am a woman and can empathize. Isn’t this the duty among women?"
"Although the world is tough, there’s beauty in it. Also, don’t feel inferior for being a woman; we can grasp our own destiny and carve a niche, and that’s good."
"I also wish you can break free from other’s constraints, have prosperous business, and be self-reliant." Under everyone’s gaze, they left Runing City and set off for Wuheng.
After that day, Bei Haoyu’s expression finally eased, willing to recount his past to them.
His crippled legs were left from the battlefield.
Seeing Shaoxi now doing well, wearing better clothes and looking healthier than before, Bei Haoyu realized her decision to go with Miss Ruan was the right one.
In gratitude, he said, "Miss Ruan, thank you for taking care of Shaoxi. I followed your advice to find General Wei Yanjun and achieved merits under him."
"But now, in this condition, I can no longer stay on the battlefield, but General Wei Yanjun is, as Miss Ruan said before, brave and admirable."
Speaking of Wei Yanjun, his eyes shone brightly.
Along with it came his regret and disappointment.
Seeing him like this, Ruan Mian quirked her lips, "Heroes are not only found on battlefields, Mr. Bei has tried his best, and isn’t that admirable too?"
After speaking, she delivered some medicine for him and reminded Shaoxi to ensure he takes it on time.
As they were about to leave, there suddenly came a whistling sound!
The carriage was swiftly pierced by several arrows from outside!
"Be careful, Miss!"
Before Ruan Mian could react, Shaoxi had already knocked her down and pulled Bei Haoyu down too.
She fiercely lifted the small table in the center of the carriage, quickly blocking the incoming arrows!
Immediately there were noises from outside the carriage, several people already rushed towards them.
They were all masked, wielding large knives, and hacked at them without hesitation.
Ruan Mian quickly responded, kicked the assailant, turned to Shaoxi: "Watch Mr. Bei!"
Then she drew a dagger from her sleeve, rolled off the carriage, and precisely stabbed the sole of the attacker’s foot.
Aunt and the others also came out of the carriage; Ruan Qingsong single-handedly repelled three attackers coming their way.
Seeing Ruan Mian almost surrounded, he immediately grabbed a dagger and plunged it into the heart of a bandit!
With a spray of fresh blood! Aunt took out a firearm without hesitation, aimed at the leading man, and shot him.
With a loud bang, the bullet flew, and the man instantly fell dead.
Others were frightened by the sound of the firearm, their faces changed drastically, and while stunned, Aunt fired another shot!
However, the recoil was so strong that the bullet drifted upwards, missing the person but shattering a large rock into several pieces.
This left everyone on the scene dumbfounded!
Under such immense power, they dropped their weapons and fled, not caring about their deceased comrades.
Moments later, only Ruan Mian and the others were left at the scene.
Aunt felt her whole arm go numb, and then noticed Ruan Qingsong convulsing on the ground.
She was startled, quickly put the gun on the carriage, and rushed over, "Mianmian, what’s happening to Song’er?!"
Aunt checked him up and down, finding no injuries, but Ruan Qingsong seemed overwhelmed by strong stimuli, trembling incessantly.
No matter how Aunt and the others consoled him or tried to lift him, it was futile.
Eventually, he was so agitated he foamed at the mouth and fainted directly.
Ruan Mian looked at his blood-stained hand, her expression heavy.
Aunt was puzzled, "How could this be? Mianmian, quickly diagnose him! Hope nothing goes wrong. I saw him defend against the bandit’s attack and kill that man!"
At this moment, Ruan Mian’s gaze shifted to the slain man: "Maybe it’s because brother killed that man."
"His reaction is not like an illness, but more of a strong physiological stress response."
"Stress?" Aunt frowned. So far, they couldn’t understand why this event had such an impact.
Causing a response from his body.
To find the cause, they would have to wait and ask him once he wakes up.
Seeing this, Ruan Mian and Aunt carried him into the carriage, checked on Shaoxi, and fortunately, everyone was unharmed.
No one knew who was behind the attack.
The only guess was Wen Qiang.
"In Runing City, now only Wen Qiang opposes us; but didn’t she leave Runing City long ago? How did she know we would pass by here?"
Ruan Mian gathered her focus, "She left, but it doesn’t mean her people did."
"But we don’t need to worry, this firearm became a tool to deter others instead."
Speaking of this, Aunt smiled and raised the firearm, "Isn’t that the case! In the urgency, I didn’t think much, didn’t expect you really succeeded, Mianmian."
