Chapter 33 Slapping the Real Daughter in the Face 33
Zhang Ergui saw Jiang Lan's act of chasing away the guests, but being an honest and dutiful man in the past, he did not step out to stop her. Instead, he was glad that his daughter was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
"My dear, stay away from that old lady. She is not a good person."
Jiang Lan also laughed. "Dad, I can see that the old lady has bad intentions. She still wants to be a matchmaker for me. You can tell at a glance that she is not an easy person to deal with. Whoever marries her will be in trouble."
"This Aunt Wu is a well-known hard-working person in the village. Her youngest son is also a well-known lazy man. He is in his thirties and has not yet married. My dear, don't run around if you have nothing to do. There are all kinds of people in this village. You have to be careful."
Zhang Ergui didn't dare to say anything else. Before, the youngest son of the Wu family was beaten for peeping at a widow taking a bath. Who would have known that after being beaten, he not only did not restrain himself, but became even bolder. Several times, he hid in the cornfield and attacked the female students passing by.
Everyone in the village was in danger. Those who had girls in their families had to protect them to go to school every day. Later, the villagers couldn't stand it anymore, so they reported it to the village chief. I don't know what the village chief said to the Wu family, but they have been much more obedient since then.
"Okay, I got it."
In the next few days, Jiang Lan followed Zhang Ergui to open up wasteland.
Zhang Ergui has completely changed from being embarrassed at the beginning to being calm and composed. Since he knew that Jiang Lan was as strong as an ox, he would take the initiative to give way to Jiang Lan when he encountered difficult land.
Jiang Lan, a new expert in farm work, also felt that he had a sense of accomplishment. When she has nothing to do, she wanders around the mountains to see if there is any suitable land to be reclaimed. If there are no conditions, she will create them. If the village does not give the Zhang family good land, then she, as a daughter, will have to work harder to reclaim more land for the benefit of the family.
The mountains are like a treasure house of plants and animals, full of rich resources. In June, the weather is hot, the rain is abundant, the grass is lush, and there are more animals. In addition to the birds of various colors and the hares scurrying around in the grass, there are also some protected animals that are rarely seen, such as golden monkeys and black leaf monkeys.
Jiang Lan shuttled through the mountains all day long. He not only learned how to turn the soil, but also how to hunt. If turning the soil depends on strength, then hunting depends on talent.
Jiang Lan has the blessing of spiritual power, hunting is as easy as drinking water and eating. She can always get something when she goes out every day, either a few rabbits or a few pheasants. Originally, the Zhang couple was still worried about whether to go to the village to buy some meat to eat, but the meat was delivered to their door.
Honey, do you want to add some food? There are rabbit meat and chicken meat for you to choose from.
Animals are very sensitive to danger. Jiang Lan gradually found that there were few small animals in the places where she often moved.
It is the instinct of animals to seek benefits and avoid harm. Jiang Lan thought about it and decided to let them go instead of killing them all. Everything must be sustainable. You can't just grab one sheep to get the wool, and you can't just hunt one mountain. Yujia Village is surrounded by mountains, which is enough for Jiang Lan to show off.
Soon, several surrounding mountains also fell into Jiang Lan's clutches.
Jiang Lan ate too much rabbit and pheasant, and she was a little greasy, so she wanted to get some big guys to improve it. After searching for a few days, she finally found the traces of wild boars. Following the footprints, she accidentally walked into a mountain she had never been to before.
Who knew that as soon as she entered, Jiang Lan found something wrong. This mountain is very close to Yujia Village, but there are not many traces of people visiting.
As the old saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. It is very common for people living near the mountains to go into the mountains to hunt, cut wood, or pick fruits. This is an instinctive behavior for people to survive.
Jiang Lan had also visited several mountains before, and almost every mountain had traces of people's visits, such as chopped wood and those trampled paths. Only this mountain didn't have any.
It was very strange, could it be that this mountain was more dangerous, and there were big guys hiding inside?
Jiang Lan was interested in things that others didn't dare to do. She just wanted to find a big guy, so her steps became brisk again.
Following the trail, Jiang Lan went deeper and deeper, and soon came to the edge of the mountain. There was actually a small wooden house in such a remote place. A wooden house in such a place is most likely a temporary resting place for a hunter, so she didn't pay much attention to it. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of iron chains dragging and metal knocking inside.
Something was wrong, very wrong...
Jiang Lan had a bad feeling, so she didn't dare to approach rashly. She chose to release her mental power to explore the surrounding situation. There was no one else around, so she quickly ran to the back of the house, where there happened to be a window that could see into the house.
Jiang Lan stretched her head inside, but the scene in front of her stunned her.
There was a naked woman in the wooden house, not wearing a single thing. The woman was very thin, and her ribs were clearly visible. She was dirty, with a thick layer of mud on her face and body, covering the original color of her skin. Her hair was dry and yellow, and as messy as weeds. Her feet were tied with long iron chains, and every step she took made a "ding-dong" sound.
The woman was in a very bad mental state, with dull eyes and she kept mumbling something. Upon listening carefully, it was just some interjections that could not form a complete sentence.
"Hello..." Jiang Lan leaned over the window and greeted the woman.
When the woman saw the stranger, she was so scared that she screamed "Ahhhhh", then quickly ran to a corner and squatted down, holding her head and trembling. She looked really pitiful.
Jiang Lan turned his eyes away from the woman and looked elsewhere.
The house in front of him was dilapidated, and there was not even a simple bed inside. There were a few steamed buns in the corner, which looked black and must have been there for several days. The room smelled terrible, full of sour and rotten smells.
The woman was squatting in the corner, surrounded by excrement, and the scene was suffocating.
The audience in the live broadcast room was also stunned. No one thought that in such a beautiful place, in such a simple and inconspicuous wooden house, they would actually see the hell on earth.
[Seeing that her mental state was not good and she had a stress reaction, it is estimated that she had been abused before. ]
[I still can't believe that there are people in this world who live worse than pigs and dogs. It's sad. ]
[Anchor, please save her, she is so pitiful. ]
Jiang Lan: Don't worry, figure out the situation first.
[Save her first, the anchor is so cold-blooded. ]
[Wipe her off, living in a place like this is dirtier than a pigsty. ]
[Give her some food, the things on the ground are all moldy. ]
[I can't stand it anymore, the anchor must save her. ]
Jiang Lan felt as bad as they did, but the more she felt, the calmer she became. Now she did have the ability to rescue this woman, but how to settle her after rescuing her? It was impossible to arrange for her to stay at the Zhang family, and they didn't have the ability to raise her. It was not realistic to take her away by herself, at least she didn't have the ability to do so now.
This woman has been imprisoned here for a long time. The presence of food means that someone will come here regularly, so it is not advisable to make a fuss for the time being.
Jiang Lan wiped out the traces of her visit, chose a secluded road, and returned to Zhang's house.
Not long after she left, a thief-like man walked into the house, and soon painful howls were heard from the house.
