Chapter 34 His sister-in-law, who always thought of him best.



Li Chunyan watched Zhang Fan's departing figure, her eyes deep and filled with sorrow; "Does he really want to marry me?"

Aunt Fat: "That's easy, just ask. Fools don't lie."

Li Chunyan nodded: "Okay."

Every word the wind blew into Zhang Fan's ears. He hadn't walked far when he heard a familiar voice: "Zhang Fan, wait for me."

Zhang Fan turned his head and saw Zhang Tiegen, the man from Aunt Pang's house.

Zhang Tiegen, carrying buckets of water and panting heavily, quickened his pace to catch up: "You run really fast."

"Brother Tiegen, didn't you already fetch the water?"

“Hey, everyone in the village is saying that this year is going to be a drought, and everyone wants to stock up on water at home. I’m afraid the water will all be taken away, so I’m going to stock up on some too.”

Zhang Fan frowned: "Drought?"

“We’ve been helping people harvest beans in Baijia Village these past few days. When we arrived, the only problem was water shortage, but by the time we left, the well was dry.”

Looking at the long lines of people waiting to get water at the wells down the mountain, Zhang Fan sensed the gravity of the situation.

A locust jumped onto his head. He shook his head and shook it off. Zhang Tiegen clicked his tongue and frowned: "There are more and more locusts. It seems that a drought is likely to occur."

People living in the loess soil know that locusts are often accompanied by droughts, as the dry climate is very suitable for locusts to breed.

Zhang Fan thought of the "Wuji Jing" and realized he had to find the remaining beads as soon as possible.

Standing in the line to get water, Zhang Tie was worried that someone would bully Zhang Fan, but he was wrong.

The villagers were friendly to Zhang Fan, and some even asked him to stand in front of them.

Zhang Fan was moved to the front of the line in less than ten minutes.

Zhang Tiegen looked on with envy, thinking that fools sometimes have good fortune.

After fetching the water, Zhang Fan greeted Zhang Tiegen as he passed by, saying, "Brother Tiegen, I'm going back now."

"good."

Zhang Fan poured the water into the water tank and then went out: "Sister-in-law, I have to go out first."

Li Chunyan called out from behind, "Come and eat something."

Zhang Fan disappeared in a flash, and Li Chunyan was no longer so worried about his safety.

The bad guys in the village are dead, so other people generally won't make things difficult for Zhang Fan.

Zhang Fan ran down the mountain and disappeared into the steep southern slope. He hadn't gone two steps when he heard the sound of tree branches breaking behind him, and then a dark figure pounced on him.
