Chapter 18 Banana Leaves



After all, I am an old man.

She started to scold, and no matter how happy Yang was, she could only sob and wipe away her tears.

"You should have less contact with your parents' family in the future," the old man always asked about the social interactions of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law.

In fact, Yang is very clear.

The Yang family also has a grudge against the Zhan family.

If Yang keeps visiting her parents' home, trouble will arise in the future.

"Come on, let's go!"

The escorting officers handed over the goods, counted the number of people, and hurried the Zhan family to meet up with the other three families and set off.

Shen Zhaozhao accompanied the old man for a while, and was then driven away by her hometown to meet Zhan Nanxing.

Zhan Nanxing was still lying there, straight, staring at the sky blankly.

“Don’t take to heart what your mother just said.” Shen Zhaozhao looked at his face.

It seems that Zhan Nanxing took to heart the heart-wrenching words that Yang had just said.

Zhan Nanxing was still looking at the sky.

When Shen Zhaozhao thought he would speak, Zhan Nanxing spoke.

But it's about something else.

“It’s going to rain soon.”

Shen Zhaozhao looked up.

Yes.

The sky was gloomy before, and now it was even darker.

She looked around, turned around and stretched out her hand to Zhan Nanxing: "Lend me your dagger."

She found swords and knives among the gold and silver treasures she had retrieved from the Zhan and Wang families' storehouses.

It will be convenient to take it out after a while.

It would be more appropriate to ask Zhan Nanxing to borrow it.

Zhan Nanxing glanced at her, and without asking any more questions, he handed the dagger he carried with him to Shen Zhaozhao.

Shen Zhaozhao ran to the side of the road and attacked several banana trees with huge leaves.

When they were exiled, they were only allowed to wear linen clothes and had no raincoats.

We have just started on the road and have been caught in the rain. For an old and frail man like me, I am afraid it will be hard to endure.

Shen Zhaozhao moved quickly, scratching the bottom of the blade stem a few times with the sharp dagger.

With a pull, a banana leaf was in his hand.

Her actions were seen by the other three families, and some voices emerged.

"Oh, the Zhan family's young wife is quite leisurely and carefree. The official of the Ji family is in a hurry, and you are still flirting with other women on the road."

"Just like the Zhan family, they are shameless. They got us exiled, but they treated it as a picnic!"

"Sir, you have to take care of it. The weather is so good. Don't let her picking flowers and leaves delay everyone's journey."

Several people talked at once, drawing the officers' attention to Shen Zhaozhao.

The officer had no patience and stepped forward, pointing the whip in his hand at Shen Zhaozhao.

"Let's get going! Don't blame me for being polite if you're delayed any longer!"

In the team, several troublemakers were waiting for the officer's whip to fall on Shen Zhaozhao.

"That's good."

Shen Zhaozhao had participated in many field missions in the organization, and he was very skillful in chopping banana leaves.

As he was speaking, another banana leaf was chopped off by the knife.

She turned around, holding a whole handful of large leaves, and staggered back to the Zhan family's room.

Several people who were waiting to see the good show, seeing that Shen Zhaozhao was not whipped, could not hide their gazes.

"Zhao Zhao, what are you doing?"

The old man looked at the big leaf that Shen Zhaozhao was holding in his arms, with a puzzled look on his face.

"You'll know in a moment."

Shen Zhaozhao kept the secret for a while, then walked to the back, returned the dagger, and then covered Zhan Nanxing with two large leaves.

From head to toe, tightly wrapped.

“Shen Zhaozhao!”

Zhan Nanxing's warning voice came from under the leaves, muffled.

"Be obedient and cover yourself like this." Shen Zhaozhao then inserted a large banana leaf into the collars of the two servants who were carrying the clothes.

Lush green leaves covered the two servants' heads, fluttering in the wind as they walked.

"Third Young Master 그..."

Zhan Ping was holding the stretcher with both hands, looking at the green patch on his head, he felt like crying but had no tears.

Shen Zhaozhao's move made the other three families laugh.

"Hahaha, look at the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. She's probably not very smart."

"How can you cover your husband with leaves? He's not dead yet."

"It's retribution. The Zhan family colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country, and caused us to be exiled together. Zhan Nanxing deserves to marry a fool!"

The mocking voice sounded harsh to Zhan Jia's ears.

Throughout the Zhan family, from the old man to Zhan Xiaoyao, they all believed in Shen Zhaozhao inexplicably.

When Chen Zhaozhao distributed the banana leaves in his hand to them, they took them without saying a word.

Shen Zhaozhao also kept one for himself.

From a distance, it looked like the Zhan family members in the exile team all had green umbrellas on their heads.

Some people with quick brains have begun to realize Shen Zhaozhao's intentions.

I wanted to look for banana leaves like her, but the banana tree also had some.

I could only keep on going while paying attention to the roadside.

“Hey, it’s raining!”

Someone shouted loudly, and the exile team was in chaos for a moment.

The escorting bailiff didn't hesitate to whip the leader who wanted to run away from the rain back into the team.

"Run, everyone, let's see who dares to run!"

Jiang Hu had already put on his straw raincoat and was calmly swinging the long whip in his hand.

The yamen runners under him also put on their straw raincoats.

"It's going to rain soon. My son can't get wet!" Mrs. Cao shouted.

Snap——

The bailiff's whip fell unceremoniously at Mrs. Cao's feet.

Mrs. Cao was so frightened that she hugged her son tightly and quickly retreated behind her husband.

Others who wanted to find a place to hide from the rain did not dare to move.

"Keep on going." Jiang Hu gave the order.

The rain was quite heavy.

At first there were some raindrops, and later it started to drizzle.

Except for the Zhan family who were well prepared and had large banana leaves to block the rain, the rest of the exile team were soaked.

"Even a fool can think of picking banana leaves, how could you think of that?"

"Is that a fool?"

"Don't just blame me, you didn't expect it either, haha ​​yawn!"

The other three families had wet hair and clothes, and their eyes turned red as they looked at the Zhan family who were not caught in the rain.

This time, no one laughed at Shen Zhaozhao for giving Zhan Nanxing a big face.

Compared to Zhan Nanxing, who looked clean and refreshed and covered tightly, they looked more like fools after being soaked like drowned rats!

"Zhao Zhao, how come you are so amazing that you can think of using banana leaves as an umbrella?"

Second sister-in-law Guo deliberately asked in a loud voice, intending to help Shen Zhaozhao get back his face.

"Oh, if Sister-in-law is smart, we are afraid that she will be soaked like them!"

Zhan Xiaoyao's eyes lit up and she immediately came over.

Even the usually reserved and steady Lin praised Chen Zhaozhao: "Third brother's wife is so knowledgeable, I didn't expect it."

Their Zhao Zhao, what a fool.

She is so smart!

Shen Zhaozhao was appropriately humble.

"When I was a child, my parents went on an outing and it rained. I saw farmers using banana leaves to block the rain, so I looked at the weather and thought about picking some and keeping them for later use."

"Fortunately, the rain was light, so it was blocked."

She looked around with a smile at the eyes that occasionally glanced at the leaves above her head, and said loudly:

"I just picked a few more. Do you want more?"
