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

Jiang Siyu looked embarrassed and said softly, "Sister, I understand what you mean, but you also know that men are naturally stronger than women. Even if I learn the art of self-defense, how can I guarantee that I can really beat them?"

Jiang Nianwei smiled slightly: "The art of self-defense does not rely solely on brute force. As long as you can use your strength skillfully, you can also defeat opponents who are stronger than you. Moreover, you can also suddenly attack when the opponent is unprepared and lets down their guard, catching them off guard. What's more, we are always by your side and will do our best to protect you. I remind you of this just to hope that you can be more vigilant and never be fooled by bad men!"

"Don't worry, sister, I will definitely protect myself even without you!" She patted her chest confidently.

Jiang Nianwei looked at her resolute and confident appearance, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She was no longer the tortured and dying woman in her previous life.

Her only wish was that her younger sister could continue to maintain her innocence and live a carefree life.

Zhuang Qiuhe's pneumonia has become significantly more serious in the past few days. Her cough has worsened and her high fever has continued, making her exhausted.

Jiang Nianwei just watched all this indifferently, without any sympathy in his heart. In his previous life, his father died of malaria during exile, and his symptoms were a hundred times more serious than Zhuang Qiuhe's current ones. Now let her suffer like this.

Three days later, Zhuang Qiuhe's symptoms actually alleviated, but her body also suffered from chronic illness. She coughed constantly and often had difficulty breathing. Because she walked slowly, she was whipped several times and the pain was unbearable.

As the team continued to move south, the weather became hotter and hotter.

It is only March now, but the climate in the south seems to have entered summer early.

The air was filled with a depressing atmosphere that made it hard to breathe.

Moreover, there are all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the jungle, which are very annoying.

Before leaving, Jiang Nianwei had asked her family to bring special sachets, which can repel insects and mosquitoes. The effects can be maintained as long as the medicinal materials inside are replaced frequently.

But the Qin family was not so lucky. Qin Ziqian was bitten by an unknown poisonous insect.

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it and just gently brushed away the sting on his leg. A moment later, he was horrified to find that the bite site had swollen into a shocking large lump.

As time went by, the big lump not only showed no signs of subsiding, but became even more terrifying, and the wound began to fester.

Every time he tried to take a step, the piercing pain pierced into his bones like a sharp knife, almost making him fall to the ground.

But faced with those expressionless and urging officers, he could only grit his teeth and force himself to move forward.

Qin Ziqian felt that if this continued, his right leg would be crippled.

He had seen Jiang Nianwei treating her sister-in-law before. In their exile team, she was the only one who knew a little about medicine and pharmacology. Although he didn't know when she learned it, the only way now was to ask her to help treat the wound and then ask her for some medicine. Perhaps she would pity him because of their past friendship.

In order to survive, Qin Ziqian struggled again and again, and had to put aside his former pride and kneel down in front of Jiang Nianwei.

His voice was trembling, filled with endless humility and pleading: "I lost, Nianwei. I beg you for mercy. I beg you, for the sake of our past friendship, please save my worthless life."

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly. Who had ever pitied her and her family in her previous life?

She lowered her eyes and their gaze fell on Qin Ziqian, who was once so arrogant and domineering. She felt absurd and ridiculous in her heart.

"Qin Ziqian, you may have found the wrong person." She spoke calmly, without a trace of emotion in her voice, "I'm not some miraculous doctor, how can I save you? Besides, haven't you and Jiang Mian already fallen in love and decided to spend your lives together? Why don't you ask her for help instead of asking me, your ex-wife whom you once disdained?"

"I know you hate me for flirting with other men. I admit that I was wrong and I shouldn't have treated you like that. But it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Besides, I don't mind that you've been defiled by other men. Let's get back together, okay?"

A trace of disgust flashed in Jiang Nianwei's eyes. Did he have the right to dislike her? He didn't even understand the principle of seeing is believing, and he just guessed that she was defiled. However, Jiang Nianwei didn't want him to explain this matter, nor did she care whether she was innocent or not.

She spit out a few words coldly: "Who gave you such confidence? You don't even look in the mirror to see what you look like now. It's really disgusting."

These were the words he had said to her in her previous life, and now she returned them to him word for word. After saying this, she turned and left, not wanting to say another word to this man.

Seeing that Jiang Nianwei was indifferent to him, his face gradually became gloomy, and anger and shame intertwined, making him begin to slander her without restraint.

"During this journey, you have been treated so well, isn't it because you are using your beauty to please others? You are not a Miss Jiang anymore, aren't you the same as me? No, you are not even as good as me. I still know shame, but what about you? You have no shame! You are a piece of slut! Who else would want you except me who is reluctant to want you!"

This thunderous roar instantly broke the silence around and attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Nianwei, however, seemed to be out of the matter, her face looking normal. She found his loss of composure and panic ridiculous.

She reached out calmly and gently picked up the bow and arrow hanging on the edge of the carriage. Her eyes were calm and sharp. She tightened the bowstring and aimed at Qin Ziqian's chest.

Qin Ziqian was certain that Jiang Nianwei would not kill him. If she killed him, she would also be charged with another crime.

"Haha, you want to kill me? Then just kill me, and you won't have a good ending."

Unexpectedly, she let go of her hand without hesitation, and the arrow shot out like lightning, cutting through the air and heading straight for the target with a fierce momentum.

"Since you want to die, I will grant your wish."

Qin Ziqian was extremely terrified at this moment, but the arrow did not shoot into his chest as he expected, but passed by his cheek, bringing up a cold wind, and finally shot into a big tree behind him, making a dull sound.

When the police saw someone hurting someone, they wanted to stop it, but they found that Jiang Nianwei had shot a huge centipede.

Jiang Nianwei then began to explain: "Officer, I just wanted to shoot the centipede to death. If someone gets bitten, the consequences will be disastrous."

The officer nodded slightly to show that he understood, and did not pursue the matter further.

On the other hand, Qin Ziqian's legs were shaking so much from the shock of the flying arrow that he couldn't even control his body's instincts and became incontinent.

This caused the onlookers to laugh, "Hahaha, I heard that he is actually a marquis?"

"You've led troops to fight in wars? Fighting in a war like this is simply ridiculous!"

Qin Ziqian felt his cheeks burning like fire, and his heart was filled with shame and embarrassment.

He originally wanted to humiliate the other party, but unexpectedly, he was frightened and at a loss what to do by the other party's behavior.

Jiang Mian gently pulled Qin Ziqian over. She tried her best to keep a calm expression on her face, not showing a trace of disgust.

She pretended to be concerned and asked, "Ziqian, are you okay? You'd better change your clothes. I'll try to help you with your wound later."

She still had some fantasies about Qin Ziqian, all because of the intermittent dreams she had had before.

Since they cannot live without friendship, she must also gain benefits. Only when he is at his most miserable can she become his salvation and an indispensable existence in his heart.

Qin Ziqian now had no choice but to let Jiang Mian take care of him.

The wound on his leg became more and more festering, and he could no longer bear the pain, so he asked Jiang Mian to cut off the festering part of his leg with a dagger heated by fire.

Jiang Mian's heart was filled with fear. He held the dagger with trembling hands and treated his wounds while enduring the nausea.

Qin Ziqian's face turned pale with pain and veins popped out on his forehead. "It hurts so much, can't you be gentler?"

Jiang Mian felt an indescribable grievance in her heart. She pursed her dry lips and said helplessly, "I have been very careful. When I was bitten by a snake, you didn't take good care of me."

Qin Ziqian felt that he was in the wrong and did not dare to offend her again. After all, Jiang Mian was the only one willing to take care of him during his exile.

Zhuang Qiuhe is now in poor health and starts coughing from time to time. She has no time to take care of him, let alone that spoiled sister.

Jiang Nianwei raised her head and saw that there were more and more coconut trees and betel nut trees in the forest.

She asked Jiang Lanxu, who was good at martial arts, to pick some green coconuts.

Jiang Lanxu lightly jumped onto the treetops, and in a few jumps, he picked a few large green coconuts. He landed lightly and handed the green coconuts to Jiang Nianwei.

Jiang Nianwei took the green coconuts and used a sharp dagger to chisel open their hard shells.

Everyone present, including Jiang Yan, was seeing this strange fruit for the first time and their hearts were filled with curiosity and anticipation.

As the shell of the green coconut cracks, sweet juice slowly flows out, emitting a faint fragrance.

Jiang Nianwei couldn't wait to take a sip. Although the taste was not as sweet as she had imagined, compared to plain water, this coconut milk was delicious enough.

He then shared the remaining few with other relatives, "Try it, it's delicious!"

Jiang Siyu exclaimed in surprise: "It's sweet, and has a faint fragrance!"

As for betel nut, it has the effects of killing insects, eliminating accumulation, promoting qi, promoting diuresis, and preventing malaria. It can be used as a Chinese medicine, but you cannot eat too much of it, as it will damage your teeth.

Jiang Shen's eyes revealed an unconcealable envy. During the journey, the water they drank, although it was boiled, always had an indescribable strange smell that was hard to swallow. He also wanted to taste the coconut milk, but he was always unwilling to shamelessly ask his brother's family for it.

In fact, since childhood, I have harbored an indescribable hatred for my brother who shares the same roots with me.

They are the same children, but their fates are so different.

He, Jiang Yan, unexpectedly won the third place in the imperial examination and enjoyed great glory; however, he himself was always branded as a lustful man by the world.

As brothers, the comparisons between the two men never stopped, and the pressure and jealousy had already exhausted him.

After his parents passed away, he began to amass wealth and commit crimes under the name of Jiang Yan. Only in this way could he feel a little inner balance and satisfaction.

Now that Jiang Yan was exiled, he was implicated and had to be exiled with him. His heart was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

Moreover, he is now chatting and laughing with Jing Qiudie, but Jing Qiudie had clearly made an engagement with him at the beginning, and it was he who didn't want this woman, which gave Jiang Yan the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Jiang Yan's children were obviously much more sensible and obedient than his two children who were greedy for pleasure and doing nothing all day. Whenever Jiang Shen thought of this, the jealousy in his heart grew like wild weeds, and the dark malice quietly grew in his heart.

Although he already had a beautiful woman by his side, his hidden illness prevented him from enjoying this tenderness to the fullest. Whenever he thought of this, his heart was filled with endless resentment and unwillingness.

The root of all this points to his younger brother, Jiang Yan.

In Jiang Shen's heart, if he didn't have this younger brother, his life might not be so miserable.

And when has Jiang Yan, who always thinks he is noble, ever really cared about his feelings?

Jiang Shen thought about it over and over again in his mind, and finally found a seemingly suitable reason.

He walked towards Jiang Yan and said calmly, "Jiang Yan, I have an important matter that I want to discuss with you."

Jiang Yan's eyes darkened slightly, and his expression was a little alert. He slowly responded: "Brother, what makes you so cautious? If you have something to say, you might as well speak frankly."

Jiang Shen took a deep breath and looked at him solemnly: "It's about the relic that my parents gave me before they died. You and I are both their children, and I think you have the right to know about this. You won't be on guard against me even for this, right?"

Jiang Yan frowned slightly. Although he had some doubts in his heart, thinking that it was his parents' relics, he nodded and decided to follow his eldest brother to discuss the matter.

Seeing this, Jiang Nianwei immediately grabbed Jiang Yan's arm tightly, with a hint of worry in her tone: "Dad, you must be more careful. Even if it's your uncle, you have to be on guard."

Jiang Yan gently patted the back of his daughter's hand, signaling her not to worry.

This is the swamp that Jiang Shen found after a careful search. On the surface, it looks normal and flat, as if it is no different from the surrounding ground.

If Jiang Yan accidentally stepped onto this seemingly harmless ground, he would probably be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

"Come over here a little."

Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel a little doubtful. Today's elder brother seemed a little different from usual. He was very different from the usual rude and straightforward him. This change made Jiang Yan alert. He stayed where he was and didn't rush forward.

"Brother, if you have something to say, just tell me directly."

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Jiang Shen took the initiative to walk towards him, grabbed his sleeve, and said impatiently: "I told you to come over, so come over, why are you wasting time and talking so much nonsense!"

As the saying goes, there must be something wrong when things are abnormal. He tried to break free from Jiang Shen's pull, and the two of them started pushing each other on the edge of the swamp.

At this moment, an accident happened. Jiang Shen staggered and accidentally stepped on the slippery swamp. He lost his balance in an instant and fell into the swamp.

"Hurry, hurry and save me! Jiang Yan, you can't just stand by and watch me die, pull me up quickly!"

Jiang Yan looked at his brother struggling in the swamp with complicated eyes, shock and chillness intertwined in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that his brother had designed this trap from the very beginning.

They were brothers, and he had never treated his elder brother unfairly. He even tried to maintain the blood relationship because of his mother's last words before her death: "You brothers must help each other and support each other!"

Jiang Yan felt unbelievable, but it made sense. "Brother, why do you treat me like this?"

"You... You have been better than me since you were a child. You have always been better than me in everything. It's you! You stole the life that originally belonged to me!" Jiang Shen's eyes flashed with madness and jealousy, and his voice was filled with endless resentment. "Jiang Yan, you will not not save me. Do you remember what my parents said?"

Intermittent insults lingered in my ears, "You thought you were an honest official, but you don't know what I did with your name! The reputation you are most proud of has been destroyed by me, and your wife is also not wanted by me. If you don't save me, you and your children will not have a good death in the future!"

At this moment, Jiang Yan figured it out.

He stood aside indifferently and watched Jiang Yan's face slowly sink into the swamp.
