Reincarnate as a poor widow and bravely fight against the worst scumbag father and evil mother-in-la

In the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain

Ning Huaizhi was waiting at the door with a frown on his face. He had placed a torch at the door. It was an hour since the villagers had finished their dinner and returned home.

Ning Huaizhi thought of what happened to Jiang Yuwei when she came home late that day, and he could not wait any longer, so he called Ning Wan:

"Wan'er, run to the village head's house quickly and tell him that your mother has gone up the mountain and hasn't come back yet. Ask him to help find a few people to look for your mother. Remember to go and come back quickly. Don't stay outside for too long as you are a girl."

Ning Wan was also very anxious at this time. After listening to Ning Huaizhi's words, she nodded firmly and ran out.

Ning Huaizhi was anxious and scared at this moment. He had never experienced such a feeling even when he was fighting desperately on the battlefield. He couldn't even imagine what his family would be like if something happened to Jiang Yuwei.

At this moment, Ning Huaizhi's mind was filled with Jiang Yuwei's smiling face when she talked to him, and her blushing face when he called her wife.

As he thought about it, endless hatred surged in Ning Huaizhi's heart. He hated that his legs could not walk, and he could not protect Jiang Yuwei well, let alone let her experience the life that a woman should enjoy. Instead, since she married him, she had to do things that a man should do all day long.

He hated the man who had injured him even more. Whenever Ning Huaizhi thought of that man's face, he wanted to tear him to pieces with his teeth. That man only cared about his own honor and disgrace, and only thought about competing for military merits, completely disregarding the safety of soldiers and civilians. Now that the war on the border was victorious, that man was afraid that he would return to the capital and steal the credit, so he came up with a treacherous plan to harm himself like this.

Ning Huaizhi stared at the direction of the mountain, listening to the movement in the mountain. He hoped that Jiang Yuwei could run down the mountain and throw herself into his arms. While Ning Huaizhi was daydreaming, he saw a group of people holding torches walking towards his yard from the direction of the village.

The village head was the first to reach the gate:

"Huaizhi, when did your wife go up the mountain? Why hasn't she come back yet?"

Ning Huaizhi was very moved when he saw that most of the people who came were strong men from the village. He bowed and saluted to everyone and said:

"Today I need to trouble the villagers to help find my wife. She came up the mountain from this direction this morning and hasn't come down yet. I'm afraid she's in danger or has lost her way."

Ning Huaizhi thought for a moment and continued:

"Please split up into two groups. The older ones should search along the foot of the mountain, and the younger ones should follow the path up the mountain to look for my wife's footprints. You can split into groups of three or two. Don't act alone. Also, bring your own tools."

Ning Huaizhi finished speaking these words in one breath, then bowed to the villagers and said:

"I can't move my legs now, so my wife's life and death depends entirely on the villagers. I will prepare a meal at home and wait for good news from everyone."

The villagers saw that Ning Huaizhi was indeed anxious, and they also thought that his method was good, so they all said:

"Huaizhi, just stay at home and wait for our news."

"That's right, don't worry, Huaizhi, we will do our best to find him."

The village head found a few leaders and ordered them to disperse and look for the person.

Then he looked at Ning Huai and said in a deep voice:

"Yuwei is a good child. We will try our best to find her, but if she goes into the mountains, then... then it's a matter of life and death, and you have to be prepared."

After saying that, the village head sighed, turned around and joined the search team.

Ning Huaizhi stared at the head of the village in a daze and murmured:

"Is life and death really determined by fate, Yuwei, where are you?"

Jiang Yuwei had no idea that the people at the foot of the mountain were going crazy looking for her. At that moment, she was sleeping on Xiaojiu's belly, drooling.

Jiang Yuwei slept until dawn when she felt a little cold. When she opened her eyes, she saw a python as thick as her waist hanging on a tree.

The dark green eyes stared at her intently, and kept spitting out words at her. Xiaojiu beside her had woken up a long time ago and was also staring at the python motionlessly.

Jiang Yuwei was so frightened when she saw this that she broke out in a cold sweat. She held the dagger tightly in one hand, grabbed the backpack with the other, and jumped up and ran:

"Xiaojiu, run, run, catch up, quickly."

While running, Jiang Yuwei looked behind her to see if Xiaojiu had caught up with her. She saw Xiaojiu breathing towards the python non-stop, and only caught up with Jiang Yuwei after she had run far away.

Jiang Yuwei felt relieved to see Xiaojiu catching up with her, but she didn't dare to stop. She was afraid that the python would catch up with her again, so she kept looking back while running. However, she tripped over a big rock and rolled down the hillside.

Jiang Yuwei exclaimed:

"Oh, I don't want to die yet."

Seeing this, Xiaojiu behind her also ran over quickly. Fortunately, the hillside was relatively small, and Jiang Yuwei rolled for a while before falling onto another protruding boulder.

Jiang Yuwei struggled to get up and looked towards the abyss below the giant mountain. She suddenly felt like she had survived a calamity. She was really blessed with a good life. If she had rolled a little longer, she would have been smashed to pieces.

Jiang Yuwei was just thinking about how to climb up when she saw a cluster of ginseng leaves between the crevices of the boulder and the mountain. She hurried forward to dig them up happily.

Unexpectedly, this ginseng has a well-developed root system and it is really hard to dig it up. However, the harder it is, the happier Jiang Yuwei is. If she can dig out a thousand-year-old ginseng in one go, wouldn't she be able to cure Ning Huaizhi's leg?

Jiang Yuwei dug until dawn when she finally dug out the ginseng. Jiang Yuwei carefully held the ginseng in her hand and looked at it, only to find that this wild ginseng should be a hundred years old. Although it is not a thousand years old, Jiang Yuwei is very happy. As long as it is planted in the space, she believes that it will soon have the medicinal effect of a thousand years.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei couldn't wait to plant it in the space, and irrigated it with spiritual spring water. Only then did she feel at ease to leave the space. At this time, Xiaojiu on the hillside couldn't wait any longer, and kept circling on the hillside, shouting anxiously:

"Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow"

Jiang Yuwei heard Xiaojiu's cry and hurriedly said in a loud voice to comfort him:

"Xiaojiu, it's okay, I'll be up in a moment, wait for me!"

Jiang Yuwei looked at the vines growing along the hillside, and she gritted her teeth and tried to hold on to the vines and climb up. However, the vines were wet and slippery, and she slipped down after just a few steps.

Jiang Yuwei looked at her clothes that were already in tatters, tore off two pieces of cloth from her sleeves and wrapped her hands around them, then took out the dagger.

She continued to climb up holding the vine. This time, with the barrier of cloth, the vine was not so difficult to hold on to. However, when she was halfway up, the vine became thinner, and the vine that Jiang Yuwei was holding suddenly broke without any warning.

At this moment, Jiang Yuwei quickly inserted the dagger into the crevice of the rock, and then used her hands and feet with all her strength to lie on the hillside, trembling all over and breaking out in a cold sweat.
