Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Aunt Liu was also a person who didn't spare anyone's words. "I think you should say less and do more good deeds for your children!"

"What do you mean by that? How can I allow a lowly servant like you to dictate to me?"

Jiang Nianwei stopped in front of Aunt Liu and said, "Do you still think you are an old lady from a noble family? Besides, Aunt Liu is not a servant. She is also our family member. Your current situation is not even half as good as Aunt Liu's."

Nanny Liu is about the same age as Zhuang Qiuhe. Because the food she eats is clean and hygienic, she follows Jiang Nianwei's instructions and wears a mask. She walks with a steady step and a rosy complexion, and actually looks a few years younger than Zhuang Qiuhe.

Zhuang Qiuhe argued for a while and found that the symptoms of chest tightness became more serious.

Moreover, Qin Ziqian on the side suddenly bent down and started vomiting violently. Unfortunately, his stomach was already empty, with nothing but some acid water.

Qin Mengrui was pregnant and had stomach discomfort. In addition, since they set foot in this barren swamp, the officers who were originally responsible for escorting her had already abandoned the prison car, so they could only move forward on foot.

Now, her feet have been rubbed with blisters, and every step she takes feels like walking on the edge of a knife, the pain is unbearable.

She had already begun to regret not listening to her mother and aborting the child. Now in this desolate mountain area, let alone a doctor, there was not even a ghost to be seen except them.

Zhuang Qiuhe could only comfort them, "Be patient, we will be able to leave this swamp after a while."

Just as she said this, her right foot accidentally stepped into the soft mud.

The mud instantly swallowed up her shoes and socks, sticking tightly to her calves.

Seeing this, the people around just stood by and watched indifferently, and no one offered a helping hand.

Zhuang Qiuhe felt desperate. She could only shout Qin Ziqian's name, "Ziqian, come and help me. I'm stuck in the mud!"

Qin Ziqian's outstretched hands were trembling, and he no longer had the strength to pull Zhuang Qiuhe out of the mud.

Qin Mengrui even took a few steps back with a look of disgust, fearing that the mud and water in the swamp would stain her clothes.

At this critical moment of life and death, Zhuang Qiuhe could only rely on herself. She tried her best, grabbed a handful of weeds, struggled hard, and finally got out of the quagmire. Her body was covered in mud and she looked in a miserable state.

At this moment, the officers had no time to care about their embarrassment and fatigue. This forest was full of dangers and they had to leave this hellhole as soon as possible.

The officers showed impatience on their faces, and the whips in their hands drew sharp arcs in the air, mercilessly whipping Zhuang Qiuhe's back, as if to dispel the anxiety in their hearts.

They urged them in a stern voice, "Hurry up! At your snail-like pace, we might still be wandering around in this forest when the sun rises tomorrow!"

"If it weren't for these encumbrances, we would have left this damn place long ago!"

Jiang Nianwei was well aware of the strangeness of this forest, so before setting off, she decisively abandoned a carriage. Although she said she abandoned it, she actually stored the carriage in the walnut space in a deserted place for future use.

Only the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled were allowed to ride in the remaining carriage, while she and several young and strong companions chose to walk, taking turns driving the carriage forward.

Fortunately, the boots I stockpiled before came in handy. The soles of these boots are designed to be quite thick, so there is no need to worry about them being easily worn out. The internal padding is soft, so they are extremely comfortable to wear on the feet, and will not cause any harm to the feet even if you walk for a long time.

Compared with the miserable situation of Jiang Shen's family and Qin's family, their situation is obviously much better.

Abei was also very familiar with the swamps and was able to accurately avoid the locations of the swamps every time. Even the servants had to follow behind them to ensure their safety.

As night falls, the eerie atmosphere of the miasma forest becomes stronger, and we can only find a relatively dry place to spend the night.

There were bursts of strange insect chirping sounds all around, as if countless unknown creatures were spying on them in the darkness.

From time to time, there were the roars of wild beasts, which were creepy. In this dark and depressing night, most people found it difficult to fall asleep, their hearts filled with anxiety and fear. Only by sitting around the fire could they temporarily forget the dangers around them and find a little comfort.

Jiang Nianwei didn't have this worry. Every once in a while, she would transfer some necessities out of the space. Since only a small amount was transferred each time, her family hadn't noticed it so far.

Moreover, this forest is rich in resources and many plants are edible, provided that one can distinguish the species of these plants. It just so happens that she is very knowledgeable about this and even found a delicious porcini mushroom that is perfect for making soup.

The shadow of mushrooms on Zhuang Qiuhe's family is very deep. The last time they accidentally ate mushrooms picked by Meng Wanran, the whole family suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. The horror experience is still vivid in their memory.

Therefore, no matter how hungry they were, they would not dare to try this kind of food easily.

Jiang Nianwei asked Chunyu to wash the mushrooms. Abei and Jiang Lanxu hunted two pheasants in the woods, one for roasting and the other for stewing with mushrooms.

The little baby was babbling beside him, his big black eyes looking around curiously at everything.

Especially when his eyes fell on the jumping flames, his little body excitedly wanted to jump towards the fire.

"Our brother Chen seems to like flames very much."

After a moment, the little baby turned his gaze to the sharp dagger placed aside, but his hands were too small and he had no strength to lift it.

Seeing Chen Ge'er's serious and persistent look, Jiang Siyu couldn't help laughing and praised: "Our Chen Ge'er is really amazing. He likes both fire and daggers. Maybe he will become a brave general in the future!"

Qiu Meixue sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and heaviness in her expression, "We are in this situation now, I just hope that Brother Chen can grow up safely and healthily, other than that, what else can I ask for?"

Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei softly comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't be so pessimistic. Things in the world are unpredictable, and the road ahead is still long. Who can tell what will happen?"

The little baby seemed to understand their conversation and nodded like the adults. He stretched out his chubby little hands and shook them towards Jiang Nianwei, as if begging her to hug him.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Nianwei had personally delivered him into this world, and among his many relatives, he had a special preference for this aunt's arms.

Jiang Nianwei had never had a child and didn't like children very much, but she was very fond of the well-behaved Chen Ge'er from her eldest brother's family, so she happily picked him up.

She said gently to the little man in her arms: "When you grow up, you must protect the people at home."

At this moment, Aunt Liu was busy on the side.

She had just cleaned the pheasant and was about to throw away the internal organs, but Jiang Nianwei stopped her: "Madam Liu, the internal organs can also be eaten. Let me teach you how to deal with them."

The internal organs are more difficult to deal with, but Jiang Nianwei used to like eating chicken offal, so for the sake of eating, a little trouble is nothing.

After rinsing the chicken offal several times, it was clean. Jiang Nianwei then took out the dried chili peppers and green peppers that had been prepared long ago, and said with a smile, "Use these peppers to stir-fry."

The chicken offal that should have been thrown away was turned into a delicious dish by Jiang Nianwei.

With the addition of chili peppers and wild garlic, a rich aroma wafts from the pot.

Jiang Yan couldn't help but think of his childhood when his family was not well-off. His mother would cook and eat the chicken offal after killing a chicken. This was the first time he had tried eating it this way.

The chicken offal becomes more tempting with the spicy taste. The spiciness is mixed with a hint of freshness, which makes people unable to stop and want to continue eating. After eating a few bites, everyone is sweating profusely.

After drinking another bowl of soup made with porcini mushrooms, the delicious taste spread in my mouth again.

In this humid jungle, humidity is easy to increase, and eating some chili peppers and sweating a little is also good for the body.

Qin Mengrui and Jiang Mian stood aside and witnessed it all, the dissatisfaction in their hearts growing like weeds.

They were about to get angry, but Jiang Nianwei seemed to have sensed something and casually asked Taozhi to share some food for them.

This sudden kindness made Jiang Mian lose the outlet for his anger, and he had to swallow it down.

Qin Mengrui frowned and asked in confusion: "What is Jiang Nianwei up to? She always gives you food so generously. Don't you think it's a little abnormal?"

Jiang Mian also showed a thoughtful look when she heard this, but then she shook her head, "What's wrong with this? I'm her cousin, we have the same surname, it's normal for her to be nice to me."

What's more, every time Jiang Nianwei sent her food, she would taste some of it herself and never found anything wrong.

In order to prevent her brother Jiang Hao from eating all the food in one go, she would often hide most of it and leave it for Qin Ziqian to enjoy, and only let Jiang Hao eat the dry food he brought with him.

But today, facing such a predicament, Jiang Hao could no longer tolerate the monotonous dry food.

He snatched the bowl and drank up the soup in it, not leaving a drop.

"Sister, we are having a hard time now, please stop helping outsiders."

He burped contentedly, and the look on his face made Jiang Mian roll his eyes.

Jiang Nianwei sat quietly aside, witnessing everything in front of her. It didn't matter who ate this meal. Anyway, this was the last time she would deliver food to them, and her purpose had almost been achieved.

Jiang Mian was completely unaware that her good intentions had secretly sown the seeds of disaster.

Little did she know that she would accidentally harm her future husband.

Taking female hormones for a long time has gradually made him lose his male functions. Jiang Nianwei thought that maybe after they get married in the future, he and Jiang Mian might become a pair of good sisters.

Thinking of this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she reminded the other party, "Jiang Mian, from now on, you have to rely on your own efforts to fill your stomach. We are no longer able to continue to supply you with food."

Jiang Mian stood up suddenly after hearing this, his face indignant, "What do you mean by this? You guys have plenty of fish and meat, but you leave us starving?"

Jiang Nianwei seemed to have anticipated her reaction. She didn't even raise her head. She just said calmly, "You have seen our current situation. This family, young and old, needs to eat. We have helped you a lot in the past. Now we have to consider our own livelihood. Besides, we can't always catch prey."

Jiang Mian muttered angrily, "It was clearly distributed to us before, why are you being stingy now? I'm going to talk to my uncle, he will definitely stand on our side."

Jiang Nianwei had naturally talked to Jiang Yan about this a long time ago, and Jiang Yan replied slowly: "Your cousin is right, the food we carry is also limited. And since you have brought your own dry food, it should be enough to cope with the journey and you won't starve. Look at us, we have a large family, young and old, and the burden is much heavier than yours."

Jiang Mian said confidently, "Uncle, we are both Jiang, we are blood relatives, we are one family, we should support each other and tide over the difficulties together."

Jiang Yan stroked his beard lightly and said calmly: "Having said that, it's a pity that you people only know how to ask for things. When have you ever helped us sincerely?" After that, he turned and left without even looking at Jiang Mian again.

Jiang Mian was furious when he saw this, but he had no place to vent his anger. He could only grit his teeth and whisper, "You guys are so ridiculous! You are so generous to those servants, but so stingy and ruthless to your own relatives! It's really chilling!"

Fortunately, they still had a lot of dry food in their hands, which was enough to support them to reach the place of exile and not let them starve on the long journey.

Qin Mengrui stood aside, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips. She said coldly: "Didn't you always say that you are from the same family and they will always help you? Now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

Jiang Mian's face turned pale and blue at her words, "Shut up! It's none of your business."

Just as she was about to explode, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an emerald green snake coiling in the grass. Although Jiang Mian was terrified in her heart, she pretended to be calm on her face.

Jiang Nianwei's behavior really made her feel angry.

She had thought that there would be some affection among the same race, but she had not expected that at the critical moment, they would be so heartless.

Thinking of this, Jiang Mian couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly, and his resentment towards Jiang Nianwei deepened a little bit. It must be she who instigated his uncle to do this.

She had known her cousin since she was a child. Her greatest fear was snakes. She had even seen her cousin faint from being frightened by a snake when she was a child.

So, a mischievous idea quietly grew in her mind, and she decided to use this green snake to give her cousin an unexpected "surprise".

Jiang Mian whispered her plan in Jiang Hao's ear. Jiang Hao had originally found it boring, but when he heard this idea, his eyes immediately lit up and he became energetic.

I have been disliking this cousin for a long time, so I should scare her. "It's fun, it's fun, let's do this."

Jiang Hao walked towards the bushes cautiously and saw the coiled green snake at a glance.

He stretched out his fingers swiftly, accurately pinched the snake's vital point, and then swung it hard, throwing the struggling green snake towards Jiang Nianwei, eager to see her panicked reaction.
