The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Cao Shuan took the bamboo tube and looked at Yan Shu gratefully: "Sister-in-law Jiang, you saved my mother. I, Cao Shuan, will remember this kindness. If you need any instructions in the future, just ask."

Yan Shu smiled: "Neighbors should help each other. You take good care of Aunt Cao, and we will go back first."

Cao Shuan smiled and nodded, his impression of Yan Shu completely changed.

When he was organizing a funeral for Jiang Huan, he had had contact with Yan Shu. At that time, this woman was arrogant, lazy, and her mouth was like a sharp knife. The words she spoke were always poking people's hearts.

At that time, he had a very bad impression of Yan Shu, thinking that although this woman was very beautiful, she was a kind of femme fatale.

Recently, she has become gentler and always has a smile on her face. It feels like she is a completely different person.

"Brother Jiang Ci."

Seeing Jiang Ci was about to leave, Cao Juan hurried forward and stopped him.

Jiang Ci looked at her with a cold expression: "What's the matter with Miss Cao?"

"We grew up together, and it seems too harsh for you to always call me Miss Cao." Cao Juan was very dissatisfied with Jiang Ci's name.

She called him brother, brother, brother, and he knew her thoughts clearly.

"There are differences between men and women. Miss Cao is still waiting to be called a maid. For the sake of your reputation, the title cannot exceed the rules."

Cao Juan frowned: "Don't Brother Jiang Ci still understand my thoughts?"

Jiang Ci raised his cold eyes slightly: "Miss Cao, I already have my heart."

Cao Juan stared at him blankly: "Is she the girl who took the carriage to your house that day?"

Jiang Ci glanced at Yan Shu from the corner of his eyes: "This is my private matter, so I won't bother Miss Cao. I'll take my leave!"

"Brother Jiang Ci..."

Cao Juan's eyes were red, and she still wanted to express her love for him.

Jiang Ci indifferently walked around her and walked straight to Yan Shu.

"let's go."

Yan Shu glanced at Cao Juan, his face calm and calm, but his heart was filled with excitement.

Ah ah ah, the boss said he has someone in his heart?

seriously?

Why have I never heard him mention it before?

Isn't it to reject the white lie concocted by Cao Juan?

The two left together.

Cao Shuan glared at Cao Juan with a cold face: "Mom, my daughter is a daughter of a family who has not left the court. If she takes the initiative to support Jiang Erlang, how will she get married in the future if word spreads about it?"

Aunt Cao sighed helplessly: "This girl is a stubborn girl. She won't look back until she hits the wall. Jiang Erlang has made it so clear. I hope she can figure it out on her own."

"I think it's hard for me. She has been self-centered since she was little. As long as she doesn't give up, she will continue to pester Jiang Erlang. This girl is really spoiled by us. If she hadn't drank all the water today, you You won’t faint from heatstroke.”

Cao Shuan's heart was full of disappointment when he mentioned this sister from the same mother.

-

Throughout the afternoon, the large group of people walked up and down.

After Aunt Cao fainted from heatstroke, several elderly people suffered from heatstroke one after another.

The story of Aunt Cao drinking salt water to relieve the heat spread quickly, and everyone followed suit and drank salt water.

Before dark, the group finally arrived at the nearest river. Unfortunately, the river had completely dried up.

All you can see on the ground are mottled cracks.

Several village chiefs gathered together and sighed, and everyone's face was filled with sadness.

"This is the only river nearby. The water brought by the villagers from their homes is almost exhausted. At the current speed of travel, we will have to walk for four or five days to reach the boundary of Cangtong County. And what is there over there? We don’t know the situation, but the most important thing is that the big guys can’t last that long without water.”

"Now we can only look for water sources in nearby villages. If we can't find it, we will speed up the process and rush to Panfeng Mountain first. If we are lucky, we may be able to find water sources on the mountain."

Yan Fugui shook his head: "I heard that there are bandits entrenched here all year round on Panfeng Mountain. What should we do if we encounter those bandits when passing through Panfeng Mountain?"

Another village chief disagreed: "The entire Nanwei Prefecture is a drought-stricken area. Now every county is short of water and food and families are moving south. Naturally, those bandits will not continue to stay on Panfeng Mountain."

"Old Ding is right. Those bandits are not stupid. They must have abandoned the mountain and fled long ago."

"If we go to Panfeng Mountain, we still have the possibility of finding water. If we go to Guandao, we will only die of thirst. It seems that at least we have a chance of survival if we go to Panfeng Mountain."

In the end, the elder Seventh Uncle slapped his legs and made a decision: "Since everyone wants to go to Panfeng Mountain, it's decided!"

-

Yan Wu inquired about the news and hurried back to his rest area.

"Father, mother, several village chiefs just discussed that they will not continue to take the official road tomorrow morning, but will pass through Panfeng Mountain instead."

Yan Shu paused slightly when he heard Yan Wu's words.

It seems that this section is the same as the plot of the original book, and Panfeng Mountain must be passed.

The plot of the original book: The heroine Yan Yao was kidnapped in Panfeng Mountain because of her good looks. Unable to bear the humiliation, she committed suicide by falling off a cliff. As a result, she escaped death by rolling off the cliff, but instead saved the hero Ye Lanxuan, who was also seriously injured.

Now the plot is a little too complicated, the day of escape has been moved forward half a year, and Yan Yao and Ye Lanxuan did not meet in Panfeng Mountain, but in Furong Town.

I wonder if Yan Yao and Ye Lanxuan will meet again this time?

What is certain is that the bandits in Panfeng Mountain will definitely burn, kill and loot.

Yan Shu frowned and thought deeply. According to the original book, the gang of bandits on Panfeng Mountain should not be underestimated. Most of their members were ruthless, criminal and desperadoes, and most of them were skilled in martial arts.

The total number of strong men in several villages was only 500, and they were all ordinary farmers. The scene described in the book was very tragic, with numerous casualties, including Liu Wenniang.

Thinking of this, Yan Shu felt extremely heavy.

During these days together, she has completely integrated into this family. In her heart, Liu Wenniang is her biological mother.

She would never allow Liu Wenniang to have such a tragic ending as in the original book.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Wenniang noticed that Yan Shu looked wrong and hurriedly came over.

She took out her handkerchief and wiped the sweat from Yan Shu's face: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Yan Shu retracted his thoughts and shook his head slightly: "Maybe I'm a little tired after walking for several days in a row."

"You go to the tent and sleep for a while. I'll call you when dinner is ready."

"No, I'll just sit outside for a while."

Jiang Ci handed the bamboo tube to her: "Sister-in-law, please drink some water. It contains light salt water."

Yan Shu thanked him and took a few sips from the bamboo tube.

At this time, there was a sound of gongs.

Yan Ersheng came back: "The village chief summoned two people from each household to go out to find water. Who will come with me?"

Yan Wen stood up and said, "Dad, if your legs are just around the corner, let me go with my second son."

"Okay, big brother and I will go!" Yan Wu agreed happily.

Yan Shu stood up hurriedly: "I'll go too."

Yan Ersheng, Liu Wenniang and the three brothers of the Yan family all looked at her.

"Little sister, finding water is a man's job, so don't go there."

Yan Shu smiled slightly: "Looking for water depends on luck. Maybe I am lucky?"

Jiang Ci smiled and said, "I'll go with you."

Yan Shu nodded: "The four of us will leave together later. No one should be left alone. Second brother, please remember."

Yan Wu was a little unconvinced: "Little sister, even if my second brother is not as smart as you, he is not stupid. Of course I won't run around."

Yan Shu said with relief: "Second brother is of course not stupid. Not only are you not stupid, you are also very smart. I'm just worried that some people with ulterior motives will take advantage of your kindness."

Second brother, second brother, if I hadn’t read the plot of the original book, I wouldn’t be so afraid of something happening to you.
