Zhan Nanxing was helped up, covered in mud.

All around her ears were chattering complaints, accusations, and coercion.

Zhan Nanxing looked at Shen Zhaozhao beside her. She lowered her head, and the hat covered most of her face, so only her pointed chin could be seen.

And the pale face can be seen clearly even in the night.

He had led troops in battle himself and knew the current situation. He placed all his reliance on Shen Zhaozhao.

Just like on the battlefield, all the soldiers obey the commander's orders.

Zhan Nanxing knew how much pressure this was.

If she gave in and allowed these people to stay here, they would not be able to escape if a flash flood broke out.

These lives will be a shadow in her life.

But if she insisted and nothing happened in the end, these people would be resentful of her and would spit at her to death.

The commander's duty is there and he cannot escape it.

But she is so smart that she can hide her incompetence and stay in the Zhan family as an ordinary daughter-in-law.

She didn't need to bear these expectations and reliance.

"Master Zhan, please persuade your wife..." Mrs. Cao had remained silent all this time, but now she felt sorry for her son Cao Yue and stepped forward courageously.

Zhan Nanxing lowered his head.

The tips of Shen Zhaozhao’s fingers as she supported his arm were a little white.

Zhan Nanxing shifted the center of gravity of his body to the intact leg, trying to balance his body, and opened his eyes to see Shen Zhaozhao supporting his hand.

Shen Zhaozhao raised his eyes in surprise.

Then he took her little hand.

Wearing a bamboo hat, Shen Zhaozhao's eyes reflected the young man in front of her. At this moment, she saw a spirit and smile on his face that she had never seen before.

perhaps……

This is the former Zhan Nanxing.

"Please listen to me."

"A husband is the one that his wife can rely on."

"My wife's meaning is Zhan Nanxing's meaning, and the Zhan family's meaning. If you want to persuade Shen Zhaozhao to say something against her will, Zhan Nanxing can't do it!"

"If you are willing to believe in the Zhan family once, then go to the ridge!"

"If it's calm and there's no flash flood, and it rained all night for nothing, if you have any complaints or anger, just go after Zhan Nanxing."

"Yes, Zhaozhao's meaning is the same as our Zhan family's meaning." Old Man Zhan also stood up, leaning on a cane in one hand and holding Huang Juan's hand with the other, his eyes firm.

The two sisters-in-law, Yang and Zhan Zhiyao stood behind the old man.

The attitude is clear.

Mrs. Cao's eyes fell on the faces of Zhan Nanxing and Shen Zhaozhao, and then looked at their clasped hands.

Finally, she pursed her lips and said no more.

She envied Shen Zhaozhao very much.

She was Cao Quanye's second wife and had never felt such support from her husband.

If Shen Zhaozhao was her now, Cao Quanye would slap her in the face at the first opportunity to shut her up.

It is even more impossible for the other members of the Cao family to support her unreservedly like the members of the Zhan family.

Mrs. Cao turned back to coax Cao Yue.

"Everyone, keep going!" Jiang Hu ordered the officers at his disposal to hurry up.

Zhan Ping fell, sprained his ankle, and was unable to carry the stretcher.

I rely on the yellow leaves for support.

Zhan Nanxing picked up a branch to support his injured leg, "Please hold on to it."

Shen Zhaozhao quickly let go of his hand, held his arm, and the two of them were very close.

The heat spreads all the way to my heart.

"Why...why did you wade into this muddy water?"

She spoke hesitantly.

It was she who insisted on going to the ridge, and at first, she was the first to do so.

Don't believe her. If you are disappointed later, your resentment will be directed at her.

In the rain, Zhan Nanxing looked embarrassed but smiled with high spirits, "Since you are married, I will stand behind you."

Shen Zhaozhao's mind moved slightly, he lowered his eyes, focused on the road he was walking, and stopped talking.

“Sister Shen.”

Shen Zhaozhao supported Zhan Nanxing and walked slowly, and unknowingly, they arrived between Cao's doors.

Cao Ya greeted him.

"Do you need help?" the little girl smiled.

"No need." Zhan Nanxing answered first, without even glancing at him.

He doesn't like Cao Ya.

This young girl of her early teens gave him a feeling of being unfathomable.

"Sister Shen, you are so righteous," Cao Ya didn't care at all, walked beside Shen Zhaozhao, and said to herself: "If it were you, you would choose to go on your own. As for whether others are dead or alive, you can't care."

"You saved them several times, but they still doubted and resented you..."

Cao Ya's words were suggestive.

Shen Zhaozhao looked at her.

Cao Ya looked towards the darkness ahead, his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the darkness and see a lot.

In his previous life, Shen Zhaozhao was used to fighting in groups.

It is even more so now. She can't live alone if she wants to. Everyone is staying, so she can't leave.

"A single thread cannot form a line, and a single tree cannot form a forest." Shen Zhaozhao thought about it and threw out a righteous sentence.

There was no need for her to be too straightforward with Cao Ya.

Cao Ya was slightly stunned, but chuckled, "Well, there are always a lot of fools in this world, which makes it interesting..."

As soon as Cao Ya finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound in the mountains, and the ground under his feet was shaking slightly.

“Haha…” Cao Ya quickly reached out to hold onto a tree beside him to steady himself, and looked at Shen Zhaozhao with excitement in his eyes, “It’s really interesting…”

“Be careful.” Zhan Nanxing told Shen Zhaozhao to stand firm.

Crash——

The sound of water could be heard far away. At first, I thought it was an earthquake, but after a while, the sound of the rushing water became more and more obvious.

Some reacted quickly and ran forward quickly.

"The flood is coming!"

"Everyone, run quickly, run to higher ground!"

All around me, there were people running forward in a hurry. Panic was spreading, and one after another, they were pushing and shoving on the mountain path.

The rumbling sound became more and more obvious beside my ears.

Like a death warrant, it urged them to run to higher places.

Shen Zhaozhao stood there and listened for a while, then his expression changed.

Instead of following the main stream, he pulled Zhan Nanxing and climbed up the hillside.

The vegetation on the mountain was sparse, and there were no shrubs to hold onto, so she could only desperately pull at the vines to pull her body forward.

At the same time, she turned around and shouted to the people who were all running to higher places:

"Don't run towards the hillside! Go diagonally, perpendicular to the hillside!"

Shen Zhaozhao finished shouting and turned back.

Only then did she realize that Zhan Nanxing had actually reached a higher place with his powerful arm strength and was stretching out his hand towards her.

Shen Zhaozhao reached out and put her hand in his.

Cao Ya passed by them, looked at the two people pulling each other, his eyes flashed, he bit his lip, and said something softly.

Shen Zhaozhao, who was busy escaping, didn't hear it.

But she saw Cao Ya's lip shape.

Like——

Fool?
