"Very good. I don't mind your young age. You will grow up slowly."

Zhou Jiaojiao reached out and touched his head, and said happily to the Chu family, "Mom, my husband's condition is getting better. He has recovered the mind of a ten-year-old. After a few more treatments, he will definitely be back to normal."

"Yeah, that puts me at ease."

Mother Chu turned her back and covered her red eyes.

During the past year when Chu San had an accident, she didn't show any sign of it. Only when he was about to recover did she feel that all the suffering was not in vain.

The other members of the Chu family were also very happy.

Second Brother Chu took Zeng Wenling to build an earthen stove and stewed meat in a clay pot while it was dark and night time.

The villagers soon learned that Chu San was recovering.

Many people came to ask questions at once.

"Hey, Chu San has actually regained some of his sanity. Zhou Jiaojiao's medical skills are really good."

"Of course, Jiaojiao treated me and I have recovered." said a villager who had been treated by Zhou Jiaojiao.

"It seems that Chu San has a chance to recover. If he is no longer stupid, won't he be even more powerful?"

"That's good news. I heard Chu San performed well in the military camp before. Anyway, we are all going to Youzhou. If Chu San can return to the military camp, he won't be afraid of being bullied in a strange place with a small official."

"Village chief, what do you think? Should we gather some herbs and go over to treat Third Brother Chu?"

Young people and older generations went to find the village chief.

That’s what the older generation said.

"We old bones would have gone to the cave in the back mountain to die during the famine. We never thought we could survive. It was all thanks to the third daughter-in-law of the Chu family. We old men and women can't just accept benefits from others and do nothing."

"Yes, we are still alive today, but it is all thanks to the Chu family."

“I just don’t know what we can do.”

The young people also said.

"Brother Chu is so amazing. If he recovers, I can shamelessly learn martial arts from him in the future."

"Thanks to Brother Chu San for protecting us along the way."

"Village Chief, I still have some wine at home. I'll send it to Third Brother Chu."

The village chief smiled from ear to ear. "You're right. Let's go ask Old Man Chu if there's anything we can do to help. I heard that medicinal herbs can be found on the dry mountain, but we don't know which ones they are. Doctor Lin said he can teach us to identify them. If we find any, we can collect them. They might be useful."

"That's right." The older generation all nodded.

Although they have been fleeing for the past two months.

But the speed is not fast.

There was no shortage of water and food, so life was actually similar to that in the village. The only difference was that I wasn't used to sleeping at night at the beginning, and I always had a bad rest. But as time went by, I gradually got used to it. We were all country people, so we weren't so particular and I adapted quickly.

Chen Lin watched helplessly as the villagers admired Zhou Jiaojiao's family.

She felt extremely unwilling and even had a hunch that all of this should have belonged to her.

She has such a powerful artifact that can hold a lot of food. In this year of famine, no one is richer than her. The villagers should be begging her.

The more Shen Lin thought about it, the more unwilling she became.

She thought of what Changliu had said before, that Chu San had indeed made several military achievements in the barracks and his superiors wanted to promote him, but this time he was accidentally injured and hit his head while performing a mission, causing him to become a fool.

The promotion had to be abandoned, but if it weren't for this accident, Chu San would have held a much higher position than her husband. Wouldn't she then have to look after Zhou Jiaojiao's mood?

no.

She couldn't let Chu San surpass Changliu.

Shen Lin lowered her eyes slightly, hiding her dissatisfaction in her eyes.

night.

Zhou Jiaojiao watched Chu San being dragged over by a group of villagers to drink. The way he wanted to drink but was too embarrassed to do so made her think it was so cute that she couldn't help laughing.

"Drink if you want, it's okay."

"Well, then, my lady, I'll drink it." Chu San took a sip carefully and found that the taste was not strange. Instead, his body felt as if he had drunk it seven or eight hundred times.

He looked at the villagers who said they were drunk after drinking a few sips in confusion. Although he was confused, he did not ask and just watched them silently.

Of course the villagers were not drunk, but drinking at this time was too luxurious and would easily delay their work, so they just tried it. With the wine behind them to spur them on, they would work harder.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw Chu San walking back, smelling a bit of alcohol. She wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said, "Don't drink so much. What if you get drunk?"

"Not drunk." Chu San looked at her with bright eyes.

He held her waist tightly with his hands, as if he had drunk some wine and was even bolder.

"Okay, come and sleep." Zhou Jiaojiao patted the bamboo mat beside her and waited for Chu San to lie down. She leaned over and felt very comfortable, especially now that the weather was getting cooler and not as hot as before.

Almost all the villagers lay down.

The moon is dim tonight, and I wonder if it will rain tomorrow.

Zhou Jiaojiao touched her belly and felt that the baby in her belly was very well-behaved. Apart from some back pain, she had no other discomfort. It was obvious that there was a well-behaved baby in her belly.

In the morning, Zhou Jiaojiao woke up to the sound of talking all around her.

"Madam, are you awake?"

She sat up and saw the Chu family members sitting in a group in front of her with very serious expressions. Not only that, other families in the village were also looking for something.

It was just dawn and the sky was covered with fog. The weather was no longer so hot, and there were dead branches and fallen leaves everywhere.

"Husband." Zhou Jiaojiao supported herself with her hands and tried to sit up. Chu San stepped forward and picked her up. He then put a cushion behind her waist so that she could rest against the big tree next to the tent.

"Mom, Jiaojiao is awake." Chu San shouted with some concern.

Zhou Jiaojiao found his reaction a little strange. It could be said that Chu San was so naive now that everything was shown on his face. After all, his mental age was at the age of being both sensible and naive, and he had no memory of the past.

Wait for Chu's mother to come.

She saw that Chu's mother's face was full of anger, anxiety, and discomfort. Her heart skipped a beat and she asked, "Mom, what's wrong? I heard everyone's noisy voices so early in the morning. It's different from usual."

Mother Chu sighed at her, a worried look on her face: "Jiaojiao, it's like this, we lost two large bags of food, both filled with rice and flour, which almost took up half of our food reserves."

"The food was lost?" Zhou Jiaojiao couldn't sit still anymore. She immediately got up and followed Chu's mother to the cart.

Chu San hurriedly followed, holding a water bottle and pills in his hands, fearing that she would be too anxious and have a miscarriage.

Zhou Jiaojiao saw that more than half of the things on her and Chu San's cart were missing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air. The human traffickers she had used as transporters also cut the ropes and ran away, leaving only the human trafficker from Chu's mother's side.
