Chapter 373 Escaping the Huang Mansion 39

After changing into dry clothes, Mu Wanqing felt much more comfortable. At that moment, she heard Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM talking in her consciousness space, so Mu Wanqing focused her attention to listen.

"The mission progress bar is going up so fast!" Lu Renkui exclaimed, watching the progress bar rise rapidly after they encountered the three soldiers.

"The rate of increase has slowed down now, but it's still quite a lot. It seems that as long as Huang Muyan can be successfully sent to school, Mu Wanqing's fate can be completely changed," the system WQBYRZM said, tapping the transparent blue screen.

"Okay, just a little bit more." Lu Renkui rubbed her hands together, eager to complete the mission and move on to the next world.

After listening to the conversation between Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM, Mu Wanqing was happy that the two of them were able to complete the task. Then, looking at the pile of wet clothes she had changed out of on the ground, Mu Wanqing felt that they might need to be dried.

So Mu Wanqing picked up all the clothes she had changed out of and asked the female soldier who had helped her change, "Sister, where should I put these clothes?"

"Oh, you can put this garment with ours." The female soldier said, trying to take the garment from Mu Wanqing's hand. "Give it to me, I'll wash it first, and then I'll hang it up to dry along with yours."

"No need, sister, I can wash it myself." Mu Wanqing hurriedly moved her arm and clothes behind her back—she was afraid the female soldiers would discover the mourning clothes hidden under the cloak.

"Oh, okay then. Wait a minute and get me a small basin. Put your clothes in that basin, separate them from the rest of our clothes, so we don't leave a piece or two behind." The female soldier didn't mind Mu Wanqing's behavior; she just assumed that the girl in front of her didn't like others touching her things.

"Okay, thank you, sister." After saying that, Mu Wanqing followed the female soldier to get the basin and began to think about what to do with the mourning clothes.

Not only my mourning clothes, but also my brother's and Sister Huang's two mourning clothes need to be thrown away at some point. Mu Wanqing thought about it and decided that they could be buried in the ground, or of course, thrown away by the river.

However, it's hard to say what will happen if she's discovered alone. The village is full of people working during the day, but they all sleep at night. There might be soldiers on duty. What will she say if she's discovered? Mu Wanqing fell into deep thought. She decided to go and discuss it with her sister Huang and brother.

Or perhaps she should ask the two people currently on her mind. Mu Wanqing thought of Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM.

Since there were two people readily available to offer advice, it would be best to ask for their opinions first. So, Mu Wanqing shared her thoughts with Lu Renkui and the system WQBYRZM.

After hearing Mu Wanqing's question, Lu Renkui guessed what Mu Wanqing was worried about—Mu Wanqing was worried that if their mourning clothes were discovered, the army might consider them unlucky, or the army might contact the Huang family to arrange for them to be taken away.

After guessing what Mu Wanqing was thinking, Lu Renkui first comforted Mu Wanqing: "If you are thinking that they will send you back after they find the mourning clothes, then you can rest assured - there are so many people with the surname Huang in the world, and the Huang family is surrounded by people with the surname Huang. As long as Huang Muyan insists that she does not come from the Huang family, it will be fine."

“If you’re worried about being considered unlucky, you can rest assured.” Lu Renkui gestured in the air. “The Communists are not afraid of ghosts and gods, and evil cannot prevail over good. Their righteousness can completely overcome all evil.”

"If you're still worried about your mourning clothes being discovered, why don't you ask someone for some scissors and cut them into small strips before they find out?" Lu Renkui knew that Mu Wanqing might still be worried, so he gave her this suggestion.

"Cut them all into small strips of cloth, just say you used them to play with. You don't need to worry about the rest—you're not an enemy agent or spy, so they won't care too much what you're playing with."

Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing thought it was a good idea.

Holding the small wooden basin filled with clothes, Mu Wanqing went to Huang Muyan to ask for scissors.
