This night was both long and wonderful for the villagers.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, the bodyguard struck a gong to wake the villagers from their sweet dreams.
Zhen Wanwan yawned and stretched wearily. She had been bitten by mosquitoes all night and couldn't sleep well until midnight.
I haven't had enough sleep yet, and we have to get going!
Today, Zhen Wanwan gave up the donkey cart. Her mother was carried onto the donkey cart by her older brother and lay down. Afraid that the donkey cart would be bumpy, she secretly put a cushion behind Old Lady Li's waist.
"You really know how to enjoy life!" Old Mrs. Li said sourly.
Zhen Wanwan looked at Grandma Li with a grin: "Isn't this all thanks to you and Dad for making me so smart!"
Grandma Li scolded him, embarrassed, "How can a child say such things!"
Zhen Wanwan waved her hand helplessly and said nothing more.
Zhenwanwan has a heavy task today; she needs to look after the two twins and prevent them from being stolen by beggars.
Walking and stopping along the way, Zhen Wanwan felt like her ears were about to get calluses.
Sure enough, seven- or eight-year-old boys are the most annoying.
"Auntie, do you think Sun Wukong might come to our area to fight monsters?"
"Auntie, auntie, I want to hear from Chief Black Cat!"
"I want to listen to Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf!"
Zhen Wanwan suddenly felt that the physical exhaustion was nothing compared to the mental exhaustion. These two little rascals were at the age when their thirst for knowledge was bursting, and they wanted to hear stories on the way.
She really didn't sleep well yesterday, and her eyelids were drooping. She wasn't in the mood to tell stories to the children, so she just gave them two candies to get by.
After finally calming down, Zhen Wanwan began to think about what she needed to buy after arriving in Leling Prefecture. She had no shortage of food and clothing, but she lacked a car.
At this rate, she doesn't even know if she can make it to Anqing Prefecture. If she gives birth halfway there, and it gets cold, the thought of it makes her feel like she's going to collapse.
"Sigh, when will this ever end?"
Zhen Wanwan looked longingly at the carriages and horses of the wealthy family ahead. Her feet ached even more, and the skin on her heels was chafed, making it painful to take a step.
She gritted her teeth and decided that once she entered the city, she would get a carriage no matter what; it wasn't like she couldn't afford it!
She was calculating how much money she would need to buy the carriage. All she had left were the few silver ingots and a jade pendant from the original owner of the body. She didn't know if the silver was enough. If not, she would pawn the jade pendant.
Having decided on her purpose for going into the city, she forced herself to walk silently.
After traveling for half a day, the group finally stopped to rest. As usual, Zhen Wanwan forced the children to relieve themselves, and she also sneaked off to the toilet.
The place Zhen Wanwan found was quite secluded; unless you went deep inside, people standing outside couldn't see it.
Unfortunately, Zhen Wanwan was just watching the drama unfold when she overheard people talking outside. One of the people in the conversation sounded very familiar.
It was none other than Li Zhenzhen, the former second sister-in-law!
What is she planning to do? She's sneaking around like this; who knows what mischief she's up to now.
Zhen Wanwan shamelessly craned her neck to eavesdrop, never expecting that the protagonist of their conversation was none other than herself, Zhen Wanwan!
There are always treacherous subjects trying to harm me!
Was I too lenient with Li Zhenzhen? Otherwise, why would she target me again and again?
"Are you sure Zhen Wanwan has inherited the legacy of an immortal?"
"Would I lie to you? Zhen's family knows about this. She has countless treasures, they must be very valuable." Li Zhenzhen threw out bait, trying to arouse the other party's greed.
The man hesitated, seemingly not quite believing Li Zhenzhen's words, but she wasn't annoyed by it.
She said confidently, "If you observe Zhen Wanwan carefully on the way, you'll notice her unusual behavior! She can pull out nice things every now and then; everything she eats and uses is the best..."
You'll see for yourself then, and you'll know whether I've been lying to you or not.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Wanwan's right eye kept twitching. They were trying to rob and kill her!
Ultimately, it was because she wasn't on guard; otherwise, Li Zhenzhen wouldn't have caught her out. It seems she can't be so careless in the next few days.
Li Zhenzhen's ruthless move has made her hold a grudge!
I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they offend me, I will punish them. Rather than keeping her around to betray me later, I would rather find an opportunity to get rid of her.
Rise up, Zhen Wanwan!
Li Zhenzhen and the other person talked for a while, mainly discussing how to deal with her. Zhen Wanwan took notes of everything. What she needed to be wary of now was the person who was going against Li Zhenzhen.
She was somewhat disappointed that she couldn't see the person's face, otherwise she wouldn't be in such a passive position. Fortunately, she remembered the person's voice, and if she heard the person speak in person, she would definitely recognize them.
After everyone had gone far away, Zhen Wanwan slowly went back. She looked around the crowd, hoping to find the man who had just been talking to Li Zhenzhen.
However, everyone was too tired to talk, so they sat down on the ground to rest, and she could only sit back down on her own spot.
Seeing that everyone had rested enough, Chief Escort Lin organized them to set off again, and they embarked on their journey to Leling Prefecture.
Zhen Wanwan is terrible with directions; she relies on GPS to get around in modern times.
Thinking about this, she suddenly realized that the floor-standing display screen in the space could download navigation.
She subtly channeled her consciousness into the space, manipulated the display screen for a while, and finally found something that resembled navigation. She excitedly clicked on it.
Huh? No response...
Is your internet speed too slow?
Zhen Wanwan repeated the operation several times, but there was still no response. She knew this would happen!
Just as she was about to leave the space in utter disappointment, the little icon finally flashed.
Um... it just flashed for a moment and then there was no more movement.
Before Zhen Wanwan's smile could fade, she froze awkwardly in place.
"It's okay, it's okay, at least there's still some hope," Zhen Wanwan comforted herself.
As her consciousness returned to reality, Zhen Wanwan casually surveyed the entire fleeing group. She felt that someone was glancing at her from time to time, their gaze filled with inquiry.
She suspected it might be Li Zhenzhen's accomplice. Thinking of this, she carefully recalled whether she had given herself away or done anything unusual.
A moment later, Zhen Wanwan's hair stood on end as the gaze fell on her again.
However, this time, unlike the probing gaze she had received before, she felt a chill run down her spine. Following the direction of the gaze, she saw that it was Li Zhenzhen!
Then she was relieved...
Wait, is Li Zhenzhen sick?
She hated me for no reason. Although she had her own indirect reasons for being beaten and divorced, it was still her who provoked me first!
What does that look in her eyes mean?
She really wanted to send Li Zhenzhen a meme that said, "Why are you staring at me like that?"
never mind.
Zhen Wanwan just thought of it as being bitten by a mad dog. She couldn't bite back, could she? Let her glare at her if she wanted to. Anyway, it wasn't her who was tired.
"Why are you looking at me like that, Lady Zhen?"
