The system brought up the map very quickly this time.

Jiang Tangtang looked at the mountains on the map and said, "Which mountain's foot is the best place to rest? Preferably with a water source."

Before the system could reply, Jiang Tangtang continued: "Didn't you want me to do the mission properly? If you want me to do the mission properly, then tell me honestly, don't make up any lame excuses."

The third mountain pass is at your current pace; it will take at least an hour and a half to reach it. Even if you regret your decision halfway through, you'll still have to keep going, as there are no suitable places to rest along the way.

One and a half hours is three hours, and it is already ten o'clock, which means that it will be one o'clock when we reach that mountain valley.

Based on its understanding of Jiang Tangtang, it knew she definitely couldn't endure this hardship.

Jiang Tangtang wanted to rest now, but she still asked, "Are you sure there's a water source in that ravine?"

The system didn't answer her question, but instead said: "I'm kindly reminding you, your ox probably won't last much longer."

Jiang Tangtang was immediately shocked. "What do you mean by that?"

Could it be what she's thinking? Is the cow about to kick the bucket?

Did she find the male lead in advance and a doctor who didn't charge her, perfectly avoiding the ending where the cow was sold, but still couldn't avoid the plot that the dog author wanted her to suffer?

[Literal meaning] After the system finished speaking, it slipped away again.

Jiang Tangtang turned to look at the ox pulling the cart ahead, and the more she looked, the more dejected she became. The ox was so thin that it was skin and bones, and it seemed that every step it took was a struggle to muster all its strength.

Now, Jiang Tangtang could no longer sit comfortably on the oxcart.

She got off the oxcart, her face contorted with worry, pondering if there was any way to resolve the situation.

Seeing that she had gotten off the oxcart, Lu Chenyan also wanted to get off the oxcart.

Seeing him about to run to the ground with his short legs, Jiang Tangtang quickly pressed him down and said, "Sit still."

Lu Chenyan's big eyes darted around, as if asking why his parents didn't ride in the oxcart.

Jiang Tangtang said, "My legs are numb from sitting for so long, so I got off to walk around. You stay in the car."

The oxcart moves slowly, and adults can get on and off freely without being told to stop. But children can't do that; they might fall.

Although Lu Chenyan was clever, he was still a child and was easily fooled by Jiang Tangtang, obediently sitting on the oxcart.

Jiang Tangtang walked under the scorching sun for a while before she couldn't take it anymore. Although it was also hot and sunny on the oxcart, at least her feet didn't hurt while riding.

Moreover, this road is not as smooth as modern cement roads. The road here is full of potholes, the stones are hard to walk on, and the dust kicked up by walking can fly half a leg high.

Jiang Tangtang sat back on the oxcart and began mentally calling out to the system, "How many more character points do I need to trigger the reward?"

[For every ten points you increase in your character profile, you will receive a random reward. As of this morning, you have increased it by eight points; you only need to increase it by two more points to trigger the random reward.]

"No, I don't want the random reward." Jiang Tangtang only wanted to save the vehicle. She couldn't imagine what would happen if the cow died.

[I want something that can be customized. You even have fasting pills, so you must have some kind of pill that can guarantee a cow won't die, right?]

Your ox's physical functions are declining in all aspects, and its death is an irreversible end.

Seeing Jiang Tangtang's miserable state, the system continued: "Instead of wasting your time, you'd be better off completing more tasks to increase your character value. The higher your character value, the more likely you are to obtain what you urgently need and desire most when unlocking rewards."

In order to reduce the strain on her body, Jiang Tangtang had to calm down and study how to quickly improve her character's value.

As temperatures gradually rose, the fleeing groups slowed their pace.

When they reached the first hilltop, the village chief said to Old Man Lu, "Let's rest for a while before we continue!"

Previously, everyone listened to the village chief when deciding whether to leave or rest. But in the past two days, everyone has witnessed Lu Shiyan's prowess, and the village chief feels that going with the Lu family would be safer.

Old Lu subconsciously looked at Jiang Tangtang.

Last night, Su whispered in his ear for most of the night, and the old couple decided that they would listen to Jiang Tangtang on the road from now on.

Meeting the questioning gaze of the old man, Jiang Tangtang said, "Dad, this mountain looks barren, and most of the trees at the foot of the mountain have withered and died. It might not be a good place to rest here. Let's walk around some more!"

Whenever they needed to rest, they would look for water or something to eat.

Otherwise, the meager rations they brought with them when they fled would hardly be enough to feed their entire family.

No sooner had Jiang Tangtang finished speaking than someone said, "Village Chief Song, when did it become a woman's place to decide such an important matter as where to rest?"

"That's right, Lu Laosan's wife really doesn't know any manners. When Village Chief Song asked the head of the Lu family a question, why did she, a woman, have to interrupt?"

...

Seeing everyone condemning Jiang Tangtang, Lu Cuilan was pleased and was about to go to Su Shi to stir up trouble, making her dislike this daughter-in-law even more.

Unexpectedly, Su spat on the ground and cursed at the villagers who were gossiping about Jiang Tangtang: "Bullshit! Who said my wife doesn't follow the rules? Our Lu family listens to my wife."

Are you blind? Didn't you see my old man just turn around and ask my daughter-in-law for her opinion?

"If you don't agree with my daughter-in-law's opinion, you can stay here and rest. The Lu family listens to my Tangtang."

After Su finished scolding, she called to the Lu family members, "Let's go, don't bother with these ungrateful people."

The oxcart slowly started moving, and the Lu family all walked forward.

Lu Cuilan stared blankly at her family members walking away, unable to react for a long time.

She couldn't understand why her sister-in-law, who clearly had many complaints about her third daughter-in-law, suddenly seemed like a completely different person, defending Jiang Shi without any principles and even saying that the Lu family would listen to her.

What does that vixen Jiang know? Why should the Lu family listen to her?

"Then what should we do?" Fang's mother looked in the direction the Lu family had left, and then at the villagers who had already sat down to rest, feeling somewhat undecided.

"Of course I'll go with my family. My nephew is capable; he can protect our whole family if we encounter bandits." Lu Cuilan hurriedly picked up her basket and urged her family to leave as well.

Needless to say, Fang Peiru was going to follow Lu Shiyan; she had already caught up with him long before her mother even spoke.

Village Chief Song glanced at the group of people who had been gossiping, sighed, and then beckoned the Song family members to follow him forward.

As soon as the Song family left, the remaining people panicked.

Some people said that even Village Chief Song listens to that woman from the Lu family, and he doesn't act like a village chief at all.

Some of those who had been scolded by Su Hongmei pouted and said, "Do you think that old woman Su Hongmei is really protecting her daughter-in-law? She's just deliberately finding an excuse to scold us, telling us not to flee the famine with the Lu family, because she's afraid we'll come to the Lu family for food!"
