As the noise gradually died down, only the faint and subtle sounds coming from the depths of the cave remained, like a thread, arousing people's curiosity.

"Is there really someone having a secret meeting here?" someone whispered, with a hint of inquiry and surprise.

"Alas, the world is really going downhill."

Liu Laoer was very proud and today he was going to expose Jiang Nianwei's true face.

Just as everyone was preparing to step into the deep cave with all kinds of thoughts in their minds, Liu Laoer unexpectedly found Jiang Nianwei standing not far away.

She came forward and said in a teasing voice, "Everyone, there is a lot of activity at the entrance of the cave. Are you chatting around the fire, or are you waiting for something good to happen?"

"How will you be here?"

Liu Laoer felt a chill in his heart. Jiang Nianwei was standing here, so who was the woman in the cave? He had a bad feeling.

Jiang Nianwei said calmly, "Why can't I be here? Why are you all gathered here to watch this show?"

Qin Ziqian also stood there in astonishment, his eyes revealing the same confusion and puzzlement as Liu Laoer.

As the flickering flames in the hands of the crowd gradually penetrated deeper into the dark cave, the two had no choice but to follow behind.

Deep in the cave, the dim firelight illuminated two white bodies, they were pressed tightly together. Liu Laoer's heartbeat quickened and his pace quickened involuntarily until he saw the two familiar faces clearly.

The woman was Liu Laoer's current wife. Her eyes were full of fear and humiliation. She was huddled behind the cold stone wall. The man was the soldier who had been supervising the work during the day. He slowly stood up and put on his clothes, obviously not caring at all.

When everyone saw this scene, they covered their eyes and pretended not to see it. They hurriedly left the dark cave, hating Liu Laoer in their hearts.

Liu Laoer's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead and he could not walk. He really lost more than he gained.

He didn't catch Jiang Nianwei having an affair, but he discovered that his wife was humiliated in front of everyone.

The soldier, with a joking look on his face, walked to Liu Laoer with a frivolous step and patted her shoulder. "Your wife is really good, but it's a pity that you can't satisfy her."

Liu Laoer was filled with rage and rushed forward to fight with the soldier, but he was kicked away and fell to the ground in a miserable state.

"Liu Lao Er, if you dare to hit me, you will suffer the consequences in the days ahead."

The officers and soldiers tidied their clothes and turned to leave, leaving behind Liu Laoer with green hair.

Liu Laoer glared at his disheveled wife, "What have I done to you that you have to treat me like this?"

The woman sneered contemptuously, her eyes flashing with indifference and disdain, "You? What can you give me? You can't give me anything. Only by following him can I live a life of being well fed and clothed, and no one dares to bully me. You have no right to glare at me. All this is because of your weakness and incompetence."

She said no more, quickly put her clothes in order, then turned around without hesitation and trotted after the soldier.

Jiang Nianwei sneered at the entrance of the cave. She had long noticed that Liu Laoer had been following him and knew that he had ill intentions.

So he deliberately set up this plan. Didn't he want to catch the adulterer? She did as he wished.

Qin Ziqian walked straight up to her and asked, "Is all this planned by you, a vicious woman?"

Jiang Nianwei met his sharp gaze and said, "You really think too highly of me. I don't have the ability to do that. Oh, I'm sorry I forgot before that you have married my cousin and I haven't congratulated you yet."

She changed the subject and said meaningfully, "But you have to keep an eye on the one at home, don't let your hair turn green like Liu Laoer's."

Qin Ziqian's eyebrows surged with anger, "What do you mean? Jiang Mian's gentleness and thoughtfulness are something you will never be able to achieve in your life! Divorcing you is the best decision I have ever made!"

But I had the illusion that I was seen through. Did she know my secret?

Jiang Nianwei remained calm. She spoke slowly, her voice cold and clear: "Then I wish you a long life together."

Just lock up the scumbag and the bitch! Don't harm other people anymore.

After saying that, she no longer wanted to care about Qin Ziqian.

Qin Ziqian now takes a large amount of female hormones, and his physical condition is no longer normal.

Jiang Mian soon discovered the truth that her husband could not be in love with her, and she couldn't wait to see such a scene.

Jiang Nianwei had already moved Ah Zhao to another place. When she saw her coming over with a basket, Ah Zhao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "You look harmless on the surface, but I didn't expect you could come up with such a plan! I really admire you."

Jiang Nianwei seemed calm: "If I were in a situation like yours, I would definitely become extremely vigilant. Besides, Liu Laoer brutally killed his first wife in order to get promoted. Now this wife is just a concubine who succeeded in getting promoted. Since she wants to catch the adulterer, I will go with the flow and help him."

Ah Zhao's eyes were fixed on Jiang Nianwei's profile, which was as cold as ice and snow. An indescribable sense of familiarity quietly surged into his heart. He opened his thin lips slightly, with a hint of inquiry, "Nianwei, what was the reason for the dispute between you and that man just now?"

Jiang Nianwei seemed not to hear his question. Her eyes were focused on the healed wound in her hand. Her voice was calm and cold. "Your injury has healed. It's getting dark. It might be more appropriate to leave now."

Ah Zhao was slightly startled, then revealed a helpless and somewhat naughty smile, "Sanniang, how can you be so cruel? I have no memory and no money now. If you drive me away, where can I go?"

"Wherever you go."

Saving him was like repaying a favor, and she didn't want to get into trouble again.

"Why don't I just stay in this nearby fishing village? I can have a place to stay and you can take care of me, isn't that the best of both worlds?"

"As long as you don't bother me, I have no right to ask where you go, and I have no intention of interfering."

Jiang Nianwei suddenly remembered something. When she first arrived in Yazhou, she sent a letter to her second brother. Now it has been more than two months, and the reply should have arrived.

She paused for a moment, then turned around, took out a few pieces of silver from her sleeve, and handed them to Ah Zhao, who was standing beside her. "There's something I need your help with."

Seeing this, Ah Zhao immediately covered his chest with his hands alertly, with a playful look on his face: "I sell my art but not my body, this money is not enough."

Jiang Nianwei couldn't help but laugh when he said that, and shook her head gently, "I just hope you can do me a favor and go to Yazhou to get the reply letter."

As she spoke, she pointed to the silver in her hand and said, "This silver is your reward. It is enough for you to settle down in the fishing village."

Ah Zhao was secretly delighted, it turned out that she wanted him to stay.

He accepted the silver and said, "Okay, I will go to Yazhou tomorrow to get the letter for you. Is there anything else I need to bring?"

"No, you just need to be careful and come back safely."

Jiang Nianwei was afraid that he would encounter an accident during this trip and lost her letter, but Ah Zhao misunderstood her meaning. He thought she was worried about his safety, so he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, even if your memory is gone, your body's instincts are still there. I can still use some martial arts to deal with the risks along the way and protect myself."

Early the next morning, Ah Zhao left on a fisherman's boat. He was a stranger and no one knew his identity, so he did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Today, the ditches that the convicts dug with great effort were finally completed, bringing water to this sandy land.

Jiang Nianwei also put a lot of thought into the Jiang family's land. In order to make the land here more suitable for planting, she often transported soil from the space in the middle of the night.

The leading officers and soldiers sneered at the laughing prisoners. Did they think they could grow crops on this barren land just by digging ditches? It was simply a pipe dream.

This land was originally chosen as a punishment for the prisoners exiled here, who were unable to grow any crops anyway.

If nothing is achieved, the prisoners will be whipped, which is their ultimate goal.

Jiang Nianwei was originally preparing to plow the soil and weed, then sprinkle rice seeds on the soil. She accidentally looked up and found that there were many strange clouds in the sky.

White feather-like or horsetail-shaped very high clouds. When such clouds appear in a certain direction and gradually thicken to become denser cirrostratus clouds, a typhoon may be approaching in that direction.

Moreover, in the past few days, the mountains and trees in the distance can be clearly seen, and the visibility is very high. All these phenomena are signs of the coming typhoon.

Damn! Typhoons at the seaside are extremely fierce, and if you are not well prepared, it is very likely to cause life-threatening danger.

Jiang Nianwei was about to remind her father, but she found that Jiang Yan was also looking at the sky thoughtfully, "Nianwei, look at the clouds in the sky, is it possible that a rainstorm is about to come?"

After they arrived at Nanzhou Island, there were several heavy rains. Although the rain was heavy, it came and went quickly.

But typhoons are different. They can even cause storm surges at the seaside, causing sea water to flood villages and farmland.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nianwei felt a pang of fear in her heart. She also asked A Zhao to get the trust, and she didn't know if he would be in danger this time.

"Dad, I feel like it's not just a rainstorm. A typhoon is coming and we must take precautions." There was a hint of urgency in Jiang Nianwei's voice.

Fortunately, although the house they were allocated was dilapidated, it was located on a relatively high ground and the stone house was much more stable than the thatched house.

The sky turned as dark as ink, and the rain fell quietly. Everyone thought it was just a sign like the previous days, and a heavy rainstorm was about to come.

However, the humidity in the air and the strange smell in the breeze indicated that a more severe storm was approaching.

"Everyone, please be careful!" Jiang Nianwei raised her voice, her tone full of seriousness and warning, "This is not just a simple rainstorm, but a fierce typhoon is about to sweep in. You'd better be fully prepared. If you have a cave, hide in it and make sure you are safe. Remember, the power of a typhoon is extraordinary, so don't take it lightly and go out easily."

"Shocking!" Jiang Mian shook his head in disdain. "Every rainstorm before was like this. Thunder rumbled, rain poured down, but in no more than half an hour, the violent rain would gradually subside and return to peace. The severity you described is, in my opinion, just an exaggeration."

"That's right. I don't want to go to that dark and damp cave." Zhuang Qiuhe also agreed with her, "It will only take a while for the rainstorm to pass. There is really no need."

The two of them sang the same tune and began to refute Jiang Nianwei.

Jiang Nianwei was more than happy to see them think this way, as their family was not the only one they wanted to save.

She instructed Chunyu and Taozhi to inform Grandma Huo, Duan Yun, and those who had a relatively harmonious relationship with her, tell them of the coming storm, and guide them to the cave on higher ground to avoid the storm.

"Miss, what should we do if they still have doubts and are unwilling to listen to our advice?" Chunyu asked with some concern.

Jiang Nianwei said firmly: "They will believe what I say. If they don't, their lives will be in danger."

Then, the family acted quickly, packed up the necessary items, and hid in a cave on high ground as a temporary shelter.

The group of officers and soldiers naturally didn't care about their lives or deaths and had already hidden in the houses. They had been stationed here for several years and had only encountered some small typhoons, which were nothing to be afraid of. But for these prisoners, it was definitely a devastating disaster. It was still a question whether the houses they lived in could withstand this storm.

As it was getting dark, Chen Ge'er started crying unusually, as if he could sense the coming storm. Jiang Lanxu could only tie him to his back and keep comforting him.

Jiang Nianwei felt relieved only after all the familiar people arrived here.

But Zhao hasn't come back yet. Is he still at sea? Is he affected by the typhoon?

But in a moment, the dark clouds in the sky spread rapidly like ink, covering the sky and the sun, and a strong wind suddenly arose, howling across the entire sea.

Then, there was an unprecedented heavy rain, pouring down madly.

Jiang Nianwei didn't need to see it with her own eyes to imagine that the sea must be turbulent at this moment, with huge waves, like an angry beast roaring wildly in the storm.

Grandma Huo couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for Sanniang's wit and guiding us to escape in time, I'm afraid we would have been swept away along with that humble room."

A fire was lit in the cave, and Nanny Liu took out the dry food she had prepared and distributed it to everyone.

Only the sound of rain could be heard outside, but the atmosphere in the cave was very peaceful. Only Jiang Nianwei felt a little anxious.

At this time, Zhuang Qiuhe's family was not so lucky. When it first started raining, the two of them didn't take it seriously.

However, the rain was as ferocious as a wild beast and the wind was howling, even blowing off the roof and exposing them to the torrential rain.

To make matters worse, the sea water rushed in like a ferocious beast. Since they lived in low-lying land, the sea water quickly flowed back and the water flowed so fast that it soon submerged the entire house. The water level even rose to their thighs.

Qin Ziqian's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but point at Jiang Mian and complain: "You stupid woman! Now our whole family is going to be drowned by this flood."

Jiang Mian felt wronged. "How come it's my responsibility? Didn't you all nod in agreement before?"

Zhuang Qiuhe waved her hands and interrupted the quarrel that was about to arise with a slightly sharp voice, "Enough, enough! Now is not the time to argue about right and wrong. Jiang Mian, hurry up and carry Meng Rui on your back. We must get to higher ground as soon as possible!"
