However, what surprised Shen Yu'an the least was Wang Zhicai's reaction.
Just as cold-blooded as in the original book.
It was Wang Zhicai's mother, Hu, who just agreed to let Lin Chunyan enter the Wang family. Wang Zhicai neither agreed nor disagreed.
However, he asked Lin Chunyan to have an abortion in the name of concern for her, saying that he was afraid that she would suffer while fleeing from famine with a big belly.
But in the end he was stopped by his mother.
Mrs. Hu had been waiting for a grandson for who knows how long. Now that one has finally come, how could she agree?
Naturally, Lin Chunyan was unwilling to do so. She had originally planned to use the child as a bargaining chip to marry Wang Zhicai, so how could she agree to abort the child?
So when she heard Wang Zhicai asking her to abort the child, she pretended to be moved.
But she said, "I know that Big Brother Wang loves me, but this child is Big Brother Wang's flesh and blood, how can I bear to let him go... wuwuwu."
Lin Chunyan cried so hard that she almost died.
Mrs. Hu was afraid that she would cry too much and hurt the baby in her belly, so she quickly suggested that she enter the house as a concubine.
Lin Chunyan agreed after thinking about it.
Although being a concubine doesn't sound nice, she is the first woman that Brother Wang has ever married.
Besides, anything could happen on the road to escape famine, and it’s hard to say whether Brother Wang’s fiancée is still alive.
She is already close to the water.
Shen Yu'an and her second aunt came back at this time, and no one knows what happened afterwards.
In just one afternoon, Lin Chunyan went from being the daughter of the Lin family to being the concubine of the Wang family.
After resting for a while, everyone stood up and continued on their journey.
Zhang Xiangyang, who was walking in the middle, took a few quick steps to catch up with Shen Rong.
"Brother Rong, are there any mountains or large forests nearby? The water we brought with us is almost used up. We need to find a place to refill it."
In everyone's mind, Shen Rong is the most knowledgeable person, so he is the only one to be asked about this matter.
When asked, Shen Rong thought about the topographic map in his mind and remembered that there was indeed a mountain range in this area on the map.
But it will take another two or three days.
He said, "Yes, there are some, but it will take at least two or three days to get there. How much water do we have?"
Hearing the affirmative answer, Zhang Xiangyang smiled and said, "We still have some water left. If we use it sparingly these two days, we can still last two more days."
"That's good." Shen Rong said with a smile.
Maybe because I was walking farther, I met more and more pedestrians on the road.
There are very few people coming in groups, but more often families come out alone.
But they all looked not in good condition, with chapped lips and red faces from the sun.
His cheeks became thinner due to hunger.
Seeing the large number of people coming, the passers-by's eyes lit up.
The reason was simple: the cart they were pushing seemed to be full of food.
Some people were so hungry that their eyes kept wandering between the Shen family's carts and the villagers' carts behind them.
However, seeing so many people from Shenjia Village behind him, he shifted his target to the Shen family.
They have relatively fewer people and the most things.
At first glance, there were not even twenty people, but there were three ox carts and three carts.
Their eyes instantly became like hungry wolves staring at their prey.
Shen Li was watching from behind and immediately slowed down his pace.
Since they don't want to come back, let them suffer a little.
When their food is about to be stolen, he will lead the villagers to take action.
He just didn't believe that the Shen family would hand over the food without being grateful.
The other people in Shenjia Village were looking nervously at the pedestrians appearing in front of them, fearing that they would rush up and rob them because they were too hungry.
So he didn't notice that Shen Lizheng slowed down.
The Shen family had already pulled out the knife that was covered by something in the car.
Everyone looked around warily.
After this experience, they were not so panicked anymore.
Instead, the people from Shenjia Village and the refugees nearby were frightened and stopped when they saw that each of them was holding a knife.
Many refugees were frightened and retreated, but after walking a short distance, they still encountered people who wanted to "seek wealth and honor by taking risks."
Several waves of refugees gathered in groups of three or four, and soon there were nearly thirty people gathered, all men.
Some people were holding big knives that they had found from somewhere, but more people were holding kitchen knives and sickles.
After realizing that the people from the village behind didn't seem to be from the same family as the one in front.
They looked at the Shen family with fierce eyes.
The refugees gathered together and looked at the Shen family's team with eager eyes.
There was greed and a desperate ruthlessness in his eyes.
There were even a few people who stared at Shen Yu'an from head to toe with lustful eyes.
Apart from this small group of people who had gathered together and the people from Shenjia Village behind them, there were only a few scattered people who stayed far away for fear of being affected.
"Hand over your food." A burly middle-aged man blocked the Shen family's group.
Shen Rong and Shen Ming stood in front, their eyes showing no fear at all, and directly rejected them with their actions.
"We won't make things difficult for you. You can leave one cart of food, but we will take the rest of the food and that girl." said a man who never took his eyes off Shen Yu'an.
The man added viciously: "Otherwise, we will take both the people and the food."
"If we wait for us to catch him ourselves, it won't be a matter of asking for a woman!"
"Hahaha, I think the three older ones are pretty good looking too. Wasn't there one with a big belly sitting on the ox cart just now? Let's catch that one too and let the brothers have some fun."
Several men were talking dirty, not taking Shen Rong and the others in front of them seriously at all.
Although the Shen family members all had knives in their hands, the twenty or so people who gathered together did not take them seriously at all.
There were quite a few elderly, weak, women and children, but the few remaining men did not look like they could fight.
The knives in their hands were probably stolen from somewhere.
Shen Yu'an felt uncomfortable being stared at by those men with greasy and disgusting eyes.
Her expression became fierce, and her mental power quickly shot towards those men who were talking dirty.
“Ahhh! My head…my head hurts.”
Those who had just spoken more and more bluntly and unpleasantly now knelt on the ground.
He clenched his fists and kept hitting his head.
"Help, my head, don't bite me, don't bite me!"
Several people were lying on the ground, rolling around and scratching their skin with their hands.
Shen Yu'an sneered and regarded this as the first big gift for them.
Not only had she attacked them with her mental power, she had also created a small illusion for them.
Looking at them lying on the ground crying and rolling around, my depressed mood felt much better.
She took out a small dagger from her arms and walked over slowly.
Those who were still standing looked at the "new brother" rolling on the ground, and then looked at Shen Yu'an who was walking over calmly.
Somehow I felt a little scared.
