Seeing her daughter recovering, Aunt Song didn't say anything more, but just gave silent support.

At this time, Song Wenqin had already handed over the heavy work to his brother, and took the initiative to take on a more arduous task - carrying an extra heavy package.

Despite this, when seeing this scene, the proud Jiang Jinhe did not complain at all. Instead, he gritted his teeth and followed everyone else and moved forward firmly.

The amazing thing is, maybe it was the subtle changes brought about by being close to Song Wenqin, or maybe it was really that mouthful of water that had a magical effect, in any case, Jiang Jinhe felt as if she had really gained new strength.

The group walked forward in silence with their heads down, and in the end, not only did they not fall behind the end of the team, but they successfully returned to the middle position.

Until the afterglow of the setting sun illuminated half the sky red, and when everyone was exhausted and their feet were almost numb, they finally heard the voice of the village chief in front of them informing them that they had arrived at their destination - Yunshui Town, and asked everyone to find suitable accommodation as soon as possible to rest.

As soon as they heard that they could take a break, a long-lost smile appeared on everyone's face.

They stopped in a hurry and sat down on the ground to relax for a while to relieve the discomfort caused by the long walk.

For Jiang Jinhe, this moment was undoubtedly a moment of happiness that came as a relief.

However, the brief pause did not last too long. After taking a breath, the perceptive Jiang Jinhe gradually began to pay attention to the surrounding situation.

After discovering that people from many different villages and even towns gathered here, Jiang Jinhe realized that the impact of this escape was more extensive than he had initially expected.

The scene before them was even more shocking: not only was the open space beneath their feet packed with refugees, but even the entrance to the town in the distance was bustling and crowded. If one wanted to actually step in, one would have to wait for quite some time before passing the security check procedures.

While she was still looking around, Aunt Song, who was in charge of arranging all matters, had already started assigning tasks.

"Wenqin, you three boys will be responsible for going out to check the water and food supply situation; the daughters-in-law will use the remaining time to light a fire and cook porridge for everyone."

As the order was passed down, the members designated to participate in the labor immediately got busy. Only the fourth youngest daughter, Song Chunhua, seemed unwilling to be lonely. She took the initiative to ask to help in the kitchen without waiting for her mother's further assignment.

"Mom, I'll go over and lend a hand to my second sister-in-law and the others."

After saying this, the petite girl quickly left.

Seeing this action, Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly - it seems that her sister-in-law is still a little afraid of her!

Recalling a not-so-small conflict that occurred not long ago, those dozens of loud slaps did seem to have a certain deterrent effect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jinhe planned to find an opportunity to leave the scene to deal with personal matters.

Just as I was looking for a suitable hidden corner, I suddenly heard a familiar and kind voice next to my ear: "If Jinhe needs to find a place to be alone for a while, go now! Your father and I are here to help you keep an eye on your things. But remember, don't go too far."

After hearing this, Jiang Jinhe hurriedly nodded in agreement, then stood up and moved towards the ruins area not far away.

After much difficulty, he reached a ruined wall and planned to use it as a temporary hiding place. However, he was stopped as soon as he stepped into the area. "Hey, hey, hey, stop!"

A big man with a rough beard stopped her action with a stern voice.

Then a female voice came from behind the wall asking about the situation.

"Big Beard, who's here?"

"Yes, Sister Qin."

After a while, the woman in blue shirt appeared in sight.

She looked up and down at the unfamiliar face standing in front of her for a few seconds and quickly recognized that it was one of her neighbors from the same village.

"So she's from our place. Let her wait for now."

After saying this, the figure disappeared again.

Guessing that it might be because he happened to meet the personal maid of the eldest daughter of the Zhou family who was on guard duty, Jiang Jinhe could only wait outside patiently.

As expected, another lady with a sweet and pleasant voice appeared soon after.

"Sister Qin, who is that person outside?"

"She looks like the plump bride who lives in the village."

The other person replied with a smile.

"Hey, why are you calling someone 'fatty'? Is that really that exaggerated?"

"Even if it's not as big as you, it's at least three or four times bigger. Do you think it counts?"

A slightly coquettish laugh followed.

"Wow... Such a big humanoid..."

Although Jiang Jinhe felt a little embarrassed after listening to the conversation between the two, he still decided to stay put and wait patiently until the matter was over.

At the same time, I was also full of curiosity - what was the true appearance of this legendary Miss Zhou who was too shy to show up?

"Even if it's more troublesome, it's better than an accident. Before we left, the master specifically instructed us that we might encounter danger along the way. Since the girl is so beautiful, we should be more careful."

The security guard, Old Liu, frowned, his voice revealing deep worry.

He looked at the delicate young lady, as if reminding her to be cautious so as not to fall into any unexpected situation.

"What are you afraid of? Didn't father arrange a lot of bodyguards?"

Zhou Xiaohui chuckled, with a hint of innocence on her face.

The sunlight shone through the window lattice, casting a faint glow on her delicate face.

At this moment, she seemed extremely innocent and lovely, but she had no idea of ​​the dangers in the world.

Old Liu shook his head helplessly, his tone slightly heavy: "It is precisely because of these men that I dare to take you out of the house. In fact, it is rumored that they even dare to snatch beautiful men."

This sentence sounds unbelievable, but also full of warning.

"Is there such a thing?"

Zhou Xiaohui widened her eyes, her face full of surprise, as if she couldn't accept the cruel fact before her.

Old Liu nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. Miss, just be obedient!"

His words were full of pleading and helplessness.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohui had no choice but to agree: "Okay, all up to you."

The two walked towards the door while talking.

Suddenly, accompanied by the sound of light footsteps coming from afar, a person called Sister Qin gently supported a woman in white clothes and slowly walked out of the corridor hidden by the wall.

It was a path covered with vines and exuding the fragrance of fresh grass and trees. The leaves rustled in the breeze, as if nature was whispering.

It turns out that rumors are not credible.

The girl named Zhou Xiaohui's skin is as white and delicate as the mist on an early winter morning, without any trace of dark spots.

Although she is not as stunningly beautiful as the four great beauties of ancient times, but in Jiang Jinhe's eyes, she has the pure and elegant beauty of a girl next door.
