Chapter 373: Chapter 373 Unforeseen Event

As time passed, the watermelon jam slowly cooked to perfection. Although the watermelons weren’t fully ripe and wouldn’t be as sweet as they could be, with the addition of cane sugar lumps by Li Wenli, the taste was just right.

The thick watermelon jam was fragrant with the freshness of watermelon and the sweetness of sugarcane; Bai Sasa was amazed, and even Bai Junjun was quite satisfied with the taste.

Indeed, it was the taste of the sweet treats from her dreams. If only there were other wild fruits available.

Making jam wasn’t difficult, and soon Bai Sasa took over the task. Li Wenli and Bai Junjun then prepared to take the first batch of jam and head out.

Meanwhile, the Fool was assisting Bai Sasa in cooking the jam. When he looked up again, the two were already heading out.

They only mentioned going to the county town to see if they could sell the jam.

Bai Sasa and the Fool were both tied to the stove, so they had no way to follow.

They could only admonish them to be careful.

Their demeanor was just like that of a worried old mother.

With a smile and a wave, Bai Junjun said, "Don’t worry, just focus on making the jam. Once we’ve earned some money, we’ll come back."

Once they were out of the village, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Bai Junjun tossed the two large pots of jam into her Space.

Speaking of which, it took ten pounds of watermelons to make just one pound of jam. The cost was still pretty high.

It was only after making the jam did Bai Junjun truly understand the meaning behind Li Wenli’s words; nobody in these times could afford it.

Now she was certain that there would be no one in the county town who could afford it, and feared the only place to sell the jam would be the Old Capital City.

However, Bai Junjun didn’t really care since drinking it diluted with water actually tasted pretty good. Besides, watermelons inherently had the effect of relieving heat and were quite the Sacred Item for cooling off.

Later on, it could be treated as a sort of cooling-off soup to drink as well.

The two of them strolled leisurely out of the village, and before long, they arrived at Zhao Family Village.

However, to their surprise, the atmosphere at Zhao Family Village was entirely different from the day before. Even without drawing near, they could feel the tumultuous noise inside.

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun, naturally vigilant, concealed themselves in the underbrush to assess the situation ahead.

But neither their Wood Series nor Wind Series Special Abilities, which used changes in carbon dioxide or barriers, could provide a clear picture inside like a spy drone could; they could only sense a rough idea.

After exchanging glances, they slowly rose and carefully moved forward.

However, upon reaching the entrance of Zhao Family Village, they witnessed a shocking scene.

A young girl was hung on the wall, completely bare, her body covered with whip marks,

At that moment, the girl hung her head low, with long hair falling over her body, not knowing if she was dead or alive.

By her figure, it was Zhao Xiaomiao, without a doubt.

Clearly, there had been another calamity here.

But at that moment, Bai Junjun could no longer concern herself with what had or hadn’t happened.

Even as a person from The Apocalypse, she knew the importance of reputation to ancient women, and now, Zhao Xiaomiao was so humiliatingly hung on the wall.

Her body was all bloodied, the pale skin stark against the fresh red wounds. There was blood both dried and newly flowing nonstop, trickling down her slender thighs to bloom one after another heartrending flower on the ground.

Bai Junjun flung out a crossbow bolt, cutting the rope that bound the girl.

The moment the girl fell, she swiftly caught her.

Zhao Xiaomiao, who had fainted, was jolted awake by the sudden loss of support. She opened her eyes groggily to see the young girl who had left the night before.

Upon seeing her, Zhao Xiaomiao, unprepared, spat a mouthful of bloody saliva at Bai Junjun.

The spit landed solidly on Bai Junjun’s face, marring her beautiful features.

Then crying, Zhao Xiaomiao exclaimed, "Why didn’t you take me with you last night? If you weren’t going to take me, why didn’t you just kill me!"
