Chapter 483: A Living Person is More Valuable Than a Dead One

Zhang Shuya patted Wang An's hand, which was just about to raise the gun, and then said:

"This person cannot be killed now; otherwise, we will have to find another reason to nail that Xing Liwen."

Regarding legal provisions, Wang An was very clear, and he also knew that for a police officer, a living person is always more valuable than a dead one.

So after hearing Zhang Shuya's words, Wang An put the gun away.

Immediately after, Wang An directly pulled out the box cannon from this person's waist and the waist of the dead person next to him, then untied this person's belt and tied him up.

But he only tied the two arms and did not tie the legs.

Looking at this person's mouth that kept humming, Wang An felt a bit annoyed, mainly because he was afraid that this person would scream on the road and bring unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, Wang An thought for a moment and cut a piece of rope from his waist.

After cutting the rope, Wang An pinched this person's chin with his left hand and used the rope to tie this person's mouth, just like a horse wearing a bit.

Seeing this person shaking his head while "ali-ula"-ing, not knowing what he was saying, it seemed like he was saying "don't tie my mouth."

However, Wang An ignored him completely. After wrapping the rope around this person's head a few times, he tied a dead knot at both ends of the rope.

Zhang Shuya saw this scene, and her expression didn't even change, as if Wang An doing this was a matter of course.

Actually, according to Wang An's idea, he intended to let this person walk back directly, but Wang An soon denied this idea, mainly because the distance was truly not short, which would waste too much time.

After leading the two horses over, Wang An thought for a moment and said to Zhang Shuya:

"Big Sister, come and give me a hand. Let's throw him onto the horse's back; my waist doesn't dare to exert much force."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya glared at Wang An and scolded him: "Look at your useless appearance. Get out of the way. You fought a battle and were beaten into nothing. It's truly fucking shameful. Once you recover a bit, hurry up and practice with me, you useless thing."

Zhang Shuya's words made Wang An very embarrassed, mainly because it was shameful enough to be beaten, and he was almost beaten to the point of being unable to take care of himself.

So Wang An didn't dare to talk back and just watched from the side without saying a word; that was truly obedient.

After Zhang Shuya finished speaking, she walked up to the person who was still humming, grabbed the person's pants and clothes with both hands, and without even seeing her exert much force, the person directly soared into the air.

Immediately after, seeing Zhang Shuya bend her waist slightly backward, she lifted the person up and threw him onto the horse's back as if throwing a sack, just letting the person lie prone on the horse's back.

Looking at Zhang Shuya, she didn't even have a flushed face or a racing heart; she simply didn't take the hundred-plus jin as anything.

During this period, although the person's mouth was tied by Wang An, it didn't stop him from making fearful "woo-woo-woo" sounds.

Seeing this, Wang An hurriedly used a rope to fix the person onto the horse's back.

To tell the truth, Wang An had lived this long, including his past life, and had never seen a woman with as much strength as Zhang Shuya.

Of course, he had also never seen a woman who could eat as much as Zhang Shuya.

After tying the person up, Wang An went alone to dispose of the corpse, and the three people and four horses walked back together.

Regarding how the corpse was disposed of, Zhang Shuya didn't even ask, as if Wang An had just thrown away some trash.

It must be said that in the mountains, human life and animal life are actually no different.

Especially for people like Zhang Shuya and Wang An who have seen a lot of life and death, facing a human corpse and facing an animal corpse is truly exactly the same; their expressions don't change at all.

Because the horses hadn't rested yet, Wang An and Zhang Shuya didn't dare to let the horses run, so they just walked along swaying, and the speed was truly quite slow.

Even so, they rested two more times on the way. Horses are animals that have long-lasting endurance when pulling carts or sleds. If they are carrying people and running fast, especially when traveling through rugged woods, after running a hundred or eighty li, they cannot run anymore.

Because normally speaking, a horse carrying a person, like a warhorse such as a stallion, would be run to death directly if it ran more than 300 li continuously.

And like the local ordinary big blue horse, it would basically be finished after running about 250 li.

But these all need to be completed on flat ground.

Because running in the mountains and running on flat ground are completely different.

When the three people and four horses returned to Wang An's home, it was already past 4:00 PM.

Wang Dazhu and his wife hadn't returned from helping to unload bricks, and Wang Yi hadn't finished school yet, so Mu Xueqing was still leading the two little sisters-in-law at home.

Seeing Wang An and Zhang Shuya return, and seeing a person lying on the horse's back, Mu Xueqing immediately showed a happy expression.

Mu Xueqing didn't ask about their journey, but directly greeted the two: "Big Sister, Xiao An, come into the house and eat first; the pot has been kept warm."

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya said with a smile:

"Yeah, I didn't eat in the morning, thinking of coming here to have a good meal at noon. This is great, it's all Xiao An's fault; he grabbed me for labor as soon as I arrived. This has me so hungry, I'm sticking to my ribs."

Mu Xueqing also said with a smile:

"Yeah, it's all Xiao An's fault for being unreliable. After we're full, we must beat your brother to vent our anger; who told him to only know how to cause trouble every day."

It must be said that this woman Mu Xueqing has a fast brain, and her words have deep meaning. The first sentence was "Xiao An," and the next sentence became "your brother."

This was almost explicitly telling Zhang Shuya: This is your brother, you as the sister, what is there to complain about?

Zhang Shuya naturally understood the meaning behind Mu Xueqing's words and immediately teased with a smile: "Xueqing, you say you are so beautiful and protect your man so much. If Xiao An could marry you, did their old Wang family's ancestral grave catch fire?"

Mu Xueqing might not have heard the meme "ancestral grave catching fire," so she said somewhat confusedly:

"Before Xiao An married me, did the ancestral grave catch fire? Why don't I know?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shuya was startled at first, and after discovering that Mu Xueqing was serious and not joking, she couldn't help but laugh "hahahaha..." loudly.

And Wang An, who was next to them, saw this scene and couldn't help but laugh.

Only Mu Xueqing looked at the two with a face full of confusion, not realizing what they were laughing at.

After the two finished laughing, Zhang Shuya explained:

"Xueqing, have you heard of the saying 'the ancestral grave emitting blue smoke'?"

Mu Xueqing nodded and said: "Yeah, I know."

Zhang Shuya smiled: "Then isn't catching fire even more prosperous than emitting smoke?"

Mu Xueqing was stunned at first, but immediately realized what "ancestral grave catching fire" meant, and couldn't help but laugh herself.

The two women chatted and laughed as they entered the house, but Wang An couldn't just ignore everything and go in.

He still had to arrange the horses and this person.
