"you!"
The knife flashed and landed in front of Jiang Yue.
"Sure enough, I've fallen into your trap again!"
"I'll take you all back and not spare any of you!"
After the big man finished speaking, he was about to step forward and grab Jiang Wan and the others, but sharp arrows shot from a distance and forced them to retreat.
Shen Qiwen appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Jiang Wan and the others.
Holding the bow in his left hand and the arrow in his right hand, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Wan was not injured. Then he raised his eyes again, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, revealing a terrifying ferocity.
Not knowing how many people were hiding in the dark, the big man didn't dare to take any risks and signaled to the people beside him with his eyes.
"withdraw!"
"Brother Shen, stop chasing me!"
Only Shen Qiwen came, and the others were still in the village.
"I don't know how many people are still in the mountains. We can't take any risks."
Shen Qiwen strode back and helped Jiang Zexing up from the ground, "Uncle Jiang, are you okay?"
Jiang Zexing shook his head and sat on a stool in the yard with a hunched back.
After this incident, Jiang Zexing finally saw through the true colors of the people in the old house.
"Brother Shen, thank you. Fortunately you came in time."
Outside the yard, Jiang Wan looked at Shen Qiwen and expressed her gratitude from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Qiwen's expression was gloomy, his brows were furrowed, the corners of his lips were tightly pursed, and his jawline was extremely tense. At this moment, he seemed to be trying hard to restrain something.
"Brother Shen?"
"Did I tell you not to act on your own? If I hadn't arrived in time today, do you know the consequences?"
Startled by his suddenly fierce expression, Jiang Wan blinked blankly.
Before he could speak, she saw him breathing rapidly again, his chest heaving, obviously in an uncertain mood. Finally, he looked at her deeply, turned around and strode away.
The tall and straight back looks a little... pitiful?
Jiang Wan frowned and chased after him with big strides.
"Brother Shen, what's wrong with you?"
He hadn't meant to scare her, but she caught up with him and forced him to stop.
"Wow—"
He turned quickly, lowered his head, and met her puzzled eyes.
"Do you know that these people are bandits? They really will kill people!"
"But didn't we agree on this before?"
When she had made it clear to Shen Qiwen before, she had expressed her guess. If Jiang Yue really had a connection with the bandits, then she would definitely follow the path of her previous life.
Use bandits to push their family into the fire pit.
She used this to cut off the last hope in Jiang Zexing's heart, and Shen Qiwen could also use this to find the bandits. Killing two birds with one stone, why not do it?
Shen Qiwen was so angry that his face trembled. Jiang Wan winked cunningly, "Brother Shen, are you worried about me?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiwen's ears turned red, which was self-evident.
"Brother Shen, you promised to come, I believe you."
'boom--'
He just felt like fireworks were exploding in his mind, blowing his thoughts to pieces.
All that flashed before my eyes was Jiang Wan's clever and cunning smile.
No, something's wrong!
He shook his head violently. It was not normal. His heart was beating too fast, too abnormal.
"I...I'll go over there and take a look."
Looking at his back, Jiang Wan smiled. She didn't expect that Brother Shen would be so shy. However, he was still a nice person.
After returning to the yard, Jiang Zexing had not yet fully recovered from his shock.
"Wanwan, where's Aqi?"
Jiang Hao was put on the ground by Su Yun. He ran to Jiang Wan and hugged her thighs.
"Brother Shen has gone to investigate the surroundings. The village may not be peaceful in the next few days, so we should all be vigilant."
Although the village has been protected by soldiers, there are still bandits hiding in the mountains. It is not a bad thing to be vigilant.
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Zexing again, "Mom, how is Dad?"
"It's okay. Your father will figure it out after a while."
She was weak and could not help at all. She could only silently support Jiang Wan and patted her hand. "I'll go see your father."
Jiang Wan was silent for a moment, then turned around and walked out with Jiang Hao, and Jiang Li followed behind.
"Sister."
"Big brother?"
"Thank you, sister."
Jiang Li spoke solemnly.
"Ali, what did you say?"
"It's okay, sister. I will always stand behind you."
"Okay, you'll have to rely on us Ali from now on."
Listening to his incoherent words, Jiang Wan smiled helplessly.
The connection with the old house was cut off, but Jiang Yue would definitely not give up. She had to become stronger as soon as possible.
Previously, they could only rely on the villagers and the reputation that Jiang Anfu cared about to make trouble, but later, the news that the old Jiang family forced them spread, and the old house lost its reputation. After that, they could only compete with the forces behind it.
Her ointment is the first step.
She has already developed an advanced version of the hemostatic ointment and will bring it to Manager Chen the next time they meet.
I don’t know if it was because of something that stimulated him, but early the next morning, Jiang Zexing got up and sat in the yard.
There were pieces of wood scattered in front of him, he was holding carpentry tools in his hands, and in front of him was a board that had been chiseled most of the way through.
"Wanwan, you're awake! Dad has already prepared breakfast. Come and eat it quickly, or it'll get cold soon."
Jiang Zexing had a smile on his face, without any trace of the dejected feeling of being abandoned that he had felt yesterday. He even looked at her with a barely perceptible hint of flattery on his face.
"Well, my leg is almost healed now, and I can't just sit around at home all the time. Since we don't have any decent chairs at home, I thought I'd get some wood and make some tables and chairs. And there's no decent dressing table in your room either. I learned a little bit before, so I can make one."
Jiang Wan nodded hesitantly, walked to the small table in the yard, turned around and glanced at Jiang Zexing, who was chiseling wood there with great effort, becoming more and more excited as he worked.
On the table in front of me, there were two dishes and a bowl of porridge. They didn’t look very good, but the aroma of the food was undeniable.
"Mom, are you awake?"
Not long after, Su Yun walked out of the house. She glanced at Jiang Zexing who was busy in the yard, then looked at Jiang Wan, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Dad, this is..."
Su Yun gave her a look and said, "Your father feels guilty about you. He doesn't know how to express it, so he just expresses it through his actions."
After being married for so many years, how could she not know Jiang Zexing's personality?
Jiang Wan nodded. Such a big thing had happened, and if doing this could help him vent his anger, she would not stop him.
"I know, mother."
After dinner, Jiang Wan was thinking about the things she had planted before. She walked to the corner of the wall, lifted the rag on top, and revealed the things inside.
She planted some of the seeds she found in the cave last time in the cave and the other part in the yard.
Tiny sprouts grew on the moist soil. The tips of the sprouts were tender green, but there was a piece missing in the middle, probably because the previous seeds had died.
It’s hard to tell what variety it is, but the fact that it can germinate is already a pleasant surprise.
Cover them with the cloth again, and when they grow a little bigger, you can transplant them to the other side of the cave. After a few days, you don’t have to worry about it getting cold.
