Some people were surprised to find that their tone was full of disbelief and confusion, as if they were looking for a reasonable explanation.

Such remarks made the atmosphere on the scene more complex and changeable.

Amidst everyone's surprised gazes, Jiang Jinhe stood up and said, "Village Chief, don't worry. Our disease can only be spread by eating from the same pot. No one else will be in danger."

She faced everyone's gaze firmly and calmly, hoping to calm everyone's panic.

Even so, after repeatedly confirming the situation, the village chief was still not reassured and asked to have a doctor check it again after arriving at Chendi.

During this period, the Song family had to follow the team and could not mix with the villagers.

Although this decision was made for safety reasons, it undoubtedly brought additional pressure and inconvenience to the Song family.

Faced with such an arrangement, Jiang Jinhe readily agreed and said that he would definitely abide by the rules!

She had a calm smile on her face, but her heart was filled with gratitude.

After all, at this critical juncture, any small mistake may lead to immeasurable consequences.

After a day of arduous trekking, it was already late and people in the village below began to look for a campsite to spend the night, planning to reach their destination early the next morning.

Due to the black lesions, the Song family had to camp alone away from everyone, which made the family members a little confused.

Everyone's face was filled with confusion and unwillingness, but they still chose to accept reality in silence.

As the head of the family, Aunt Song pulled Jiang Jinhe aside and asked softly, "Jinhe, why did you lie to the village chief and say you had contracted a disease? Didn't you smear your face with black ink yourself?"

When she spoke, her eyes were as sharp as a torch, as if she could penetrate people's hearts and want to find out the truth behind the matter.

Jiang Jinhe smiled and whispered a few words in her ear.

After listening to her, Aunt Song nodded repeatedly and poked her forehead with her finger: "You clever little devil! If only Wen Qin were half as smart as you."

His tone was full of recognition and appreciation for the smart girl in front of him.

In her previous life, Jiang Jinhe had never felt much family love, and her biological mother only regarded her as an ATM; but this time, Aunt Song treated her as her own daughter and daughter-in-law, which made her heart fluctuate.

This hard-earned family warmth touched her like never before and made her re-examine the meaning of her life.

In her joy, she blurted out, "As long as I'm here, it's enough. He doesn't need to be too smart."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Jinhe felt his face getting hot.

Fortunately, her face was painted black, so her expression couldn't be seen clearly.

Fortunately, the darkness provided her with an opportunity to hide her embarrassment.

After hearing this, Aunt Song smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Jinhe is right. My Wenqin is truly blessed."

The words revealed an immense pride that moved people.

This immediately aroused the interest of the Song family, and everyone started to ask about it.

Everyone is curious, especially in this situation, where every subtle change can trigger countless speculations and discussions.

Song Yuyu hurriedly hugged Aunt Song's thighs and asked, "Mom, what did Third Sister-in-law say to you that made you so happy?"

Her eager look was as adorable as a child longing for an answer.

Aunt Song glared at her and said unhappily, "Go away, it has nothing to do with you!"

Although he appeared very impatient on the surface, he was actually very happy in his heart. He just didn't intend to tell everything to this talkative little girl.

Seeing that asking no results, Song Yuyu turned to Jiang Jinhe and asked coquettishly, "Third sister-in-law, you better tell me. I'm very obedient now and will never make trouble!"

This sentence not only expresses the desire for knowledge, but also shows a psychological strategy of trying to please in order to obtain information.

Seeing that everyone wanted to know so much, Jiang Jinhe had no choice but to express her thoughts.

"Dad, big brother, big sister-in-law, second brother, this is what I think. The Huo family is being blackmailed this time, and they might use the money to redeem their daughter. If they find out that we are scammers and horse bandits, they might use the money to curry favor with them, and then we'll be in trouble. Besides, this place is not far from Chendi, and those horse bandits are so powerful, there's no guarantee we'll run into them again."

"So, to be safe, we can transform back to our original form after we reach Chendi. Then we can tell others that the disease has been cured."

After hearing this, the Song family members felt that it made sense and nodded.

Sister Zhaodi, who usually doesn't talk much, chimed in, "The world is not going well these days. It doesn't matter if the little girls act a little ugly. They're still young anyway."

Song Yuanmu also agreed with this.

But Song Yuanshan believed that this would damage the reputation of the girl in his family and affect her future marriage.

After considering this, everyone agreed that it would be best to wait until Chendi before publicly announcing that the illness had been cured.

Anyway, don't smear it on your face anymore.

At this time, they did not know how much protection Jiang Jinhe's casual lie would bring to the women of the Song family in the turbulent times to come.

After discussing these things, everyone dispersed to look for food.

This place is out of the jurisdiction of Fancheng. There is a small puddle not far away where villagers go to fetch water.

The bandits had taken away all the kettles, so we could only use pots or basins to collect water.

The two brothers Song Yuanshan and Song Wenqin also brought back a pot.

The children dug up some wild vegetable roots to cook and eat.

This thing was too disgusting for Jiang Jinhe, she even found it difficult to swallow the wheat porridge.

Seeing Song Wenqin going out to look for firewood, Jiang Jinhe quickly told Aunt Song that he was going to the bathroom and then left.

In recent days, every time she goes out, she will meet Song Wenqin. This man always surrounds her and asks her questions, but never makes his intentions clear.

She guessed that Song Wenqin had begun to think about what happened in Tongshan that day, but he didn't see it with his own eyes so he didn't feel comfortable speaking out.

Therefore, I decided to be more cautious and never tell him the secret about space unless it is absolutely necessary.

The first thing to do when entering the space is to take a shower and wash clothes as usual.

She was used to taking a bath every day, and she would feel uncomfortable if she didn't take a bath for a day.

After washing, I weighed myself again.

"119 pounds!"

Jiang Jinhe no longer had the initial excitement she had at the beginning, and she couldn't even remember what the relationship was between the graceful woman in front of her and the 200-pound fat man in the past.

She believes that with the help of the magical spring water, she can reach her ideal weight - 95 kilograms!

We had fried noodles for dinner.

Cook the noodles first and cool them in mountain spring water.

Heat oil in the pan, add meat slices, green bamboo shoots, peppers, ham, sprinkle some chopped green onions, and add some seasonings, and a bowl of delicious fried noodles is ready.

Jiang Jinhe was very satisfied with the meal.

While washing dishes, she suddenly thought of Song Wenqin.

"I wonder if he likes noodles?"

This thought was like a sudden breeze, gently blowing through her heart.
