Chapter 264 Jiang Wan's "Change"
Shen Minghui didn't know that during the few days he was away, the Shen family was ruined by these few people. Even Old Madam Shen was pissed to death, and no one restrained themselves. In the end, Butler Shen couldn't bear it and hurriedly sent the family to a funeral.
After Shen Minghui and Lin Yuxi finished everything, considering that these places would not be safe, they finally decided to rush to the wilderness, which was also the place where the Lin family was exiled, and settle down first.
Anyway, these places just have fewer people and have not been developed. In modern times, each of them is a first-class tourist destination!
They will stay here for the rest of their lives, so let's advance the goal of creating this tourist destination by a few hundred years!
……
Jiang Wan sat in the simple cart, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
She had tried countless times, but the space that once brought her countless conveniences and hopes now seemed to have completely disappeared from her life, with no response at all.
"Wanwan, why have you been so uneasy these days?" Lin Ruiyuan asked with concern.
His leg injury has gradually improved under Jiang Wan's careful care. Although he still needs the help of crutches to walk, at least he doesn't have to lie down like that anymore!
Jiang Wan forced a smile and said, "Nothing, maybe I'm too tired from the journey."
She didn't dare tell Lin Ruiyuan the truth, for fear that he would worry, and even more afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.
Lin Ruichi came over and said, "Sister-in-law, if you are tired, take a rest. Thanks to you, we have been able to hold on until now."
Jiang Wan felt bitter in her heart. In the past, she could take out food and medicine from the space to make everyone's life a little more comfortable on this difficult road of exile.
But now, the space is gone, and she doesn’t know how to live in the future.
Lin Wanqing also blinked and looked at Jiang Wan, "Sister-in-law, I believe everything will be fine."
Jiang Wan touched Lin Wanqing's head, feeling filled with emotion.
The team stopped to rest for a while, and Jiang Wan got off the cart to get some fresh air. Her grandmother and mother were packing their bags nearby, and when they saw Jiang Wan walking out, they thought she was going to find something to eat and drink as usual, "Wan girl, you've worked so hard."
Jiang Wan didn't think much about it, thinking that the two were talking about taking care of Lin Ruiyuan, and said modestly, "Grandma, this is what I should do."
At this time, an aunt from the Lin family came over and said, "Jiang Wan, why haven't you found food these days? Is it because it's so desolate here that you can't even find food?"
Jiang Wan's heart tightened. She didn't expect someone to ask this question so soon. She forced a smile and said, "Aunt, I was lucky to find those things before. It's normal that they are gone now. Aunt, you don't think my luck can always be so good!"
"Gone? How could it be such a coincidence?" Her aunt looked at her suspiciously.
Jiang Wan pretended to be helpless and said, "Auntie, how can I control this?"
The aunt curled her lips and turned away.
Jiang Wan was feeling depressed. She went to sit under a tree nearby. Lin Ruiyuan followed her and asked, "Wan Wan, are you hiding something from me?"
Jiang Wan was shocked. "No, I'm just too tired."
Lin Ruiyuan held her hand and said, "Wanwan, husband and wife should be honest with each other. If there are any difficulties, we will face them together."
Jiang Wan almost couldn't help but tell her about the space, but she finally held back, "Husband, it's really okay, don't think too much about it."
Lin Ruiyuan sighed, "Okay, then you should take care of yourself."
After getting back on the road, Jiang Wan felt even more depressed. In the past, she could always magically bring out water when everyone was thirsty, but now, she could only endure the thirst like everyone else.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Lin Wanqing whisper, "Sister-in-law, I'm so thirsty."
Jiang Wan looked at her distressedly, but could do nothing. "Just bear with it, you will find water soon."
Lin Ruichi looked at Jiang Wan strangely. In the past, whenever they asked, his sister-in-law would always be able to take out clean, clear water with excellent taste from various places. What happened now?
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Jiang Wan interrupted him, "Rui Chi, you were lucky before, but now there's really nothing you can do."
There was a hint of doubt in Lin Ruichi's eyes, but he didn't say anything more.
……
At night, everyone sat together and food became very scarce.
"How can we live like this? In the past, Jiang Wan could get us food, but now..." complained a cousin from the clan.
"That's right, weren't you quite capable before? Why can't you do it now?"
Jiang Wan lowered her head and remained silent, making it difficult to see the expression on her face!
When Lin Ruiyuan heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy. He slammed the ground hard with his crutch, making a "dong" sound. Everyone was startled and immediately quieted down.
"Shut up!" Lin Ruiyuan shouted angrily, his eyes swept across everyone fiercely, "Hasn't Wanwan done enough for this family? She is a woman who tried her best to find food and drink during this difficult exile. Not only are you not grateful, but now you dare to complain!"
He took a breath and continued, "I will protect my wife myself. If anyone dares to say anything bad about her again, don't blame me for being rude!"
Everyone was shocked by Lin Ruiyuan's aura, and the cousin lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.
Jiang Wan slowly raised her head, tears of emotion flashing in her eyes, and she held Lin Ruiyuan's hand tightly.
"Ms. sir..."
Lin Ruiyuan looked at Jiang Wan, his eyes instantly becoming gentle: "Wanwan, don't be afraid, I'm here."
After saying this, he looked around at everyone again and said, "We are in this difficult situation now, so we should unite as one instead of blaming and complaining to each other."
Everyone nodded in agreement and no longer dared to complain to Jiang Wan.
The night wind was still cold, but Jiang Wan's heart was full of warmth.
……
Jiang Wan was moved, and in the following days, even without space, she tried to find food and water, surviving in the most primitive way like everyone else.
Once, Jiang Wan saw a tree with fruits and wanted to climb up to pick them.
"Sister-in-law, be careful!" Lin Wanqing shouted from below.
Jiang Wan climbed up quickly like a monkey, and this action shocked the Lin family.
"This... this is outrageous! How can a woman behave like this!" Grandmother couldn't help but say.
Jiang Wan had never picked fruit in front of them before. Did she never know that Jiang Wan picked fruit in this way?
Jiang Wanke had no idea how shocked everyone was. They had finally seen an edible fruit, so of course they picked it quickly. They didn't care about anything else.
At this moment, she finally picked the fruit and threw it down immediately, asking everyone to collect it quickly.
"Oh, can this fruit be eaten? It might be poisonous!" said an aunt.
Jiang Wan said, "Let me try it first, and then everyone else can eat."
She took a bite and made sure it was not poisonous, then everyone started eating it with confidence.
Lin Ruiyuan withdrew his hand before he could stop her and looked at Jiang Wan, feeling both distressed and helpless.
……
Another day, Jiang Wan discovered a stream and excitedly jumped in to catch fish.
"Sister-in-law, this is not allowed! This is not allowed!" Lin Wanqing shouted anxiously.
Jiang Wan said, "What are you afraid of? I'm almost stinking, and I can wash myself at the same time. How great!"
The women in the Lin family all shook their heads. Although Jiang Wan meant well, her behavior was a little too bold.
There are a lot of men around here, how can you be so reckless!
