The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

The sudden praise caused ripples in my already calm heart.

Jiang Jinhe quickly responded with a polite smile, "Your words are really pleasing to the eye."

Then he turned his gaze to Song Wenqin, who looked a little nervous beside him. A sly look appeared on his face and he continued to joke, "Look at how loving you two are. It makes people really envious."

As soon as he finished speaking, the latter frowned and looked embarrassed. He looked as if he was facing a great enemy, which made Jiang Jinhe feel both amused and helpless. He quickly changed the subject to avoid causing more trouble.

"Alright, alright Aunt Zhang, let's just focus on walking and stop talking about these embarrassing things."

The cold words blew away all the laughter and playfulness like a cold wind. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang quickly shut her mouth and said no more.

Although everything seems to have returned to normal on the surface, the subtle atmosphere in the air still lingers.

Quietly gazing at the man walking in front of her with a resolute yet attentive figure, Jiang Jing secretly speculated: If it weren't for the responsibilities he shoulders, he'd probably be hanging out with other girls by now...

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly noticed a curious gaze coming from behind him. He turned his head and saw a girl wearing a bamboo sun hat sitting in the Zhou family's carriage, carefully observing the movements around her.

At that moment, a light bulb went off in his head and he remembered a rumor he had heard before - it was said that after the Zhou family was rescued, they specially sent food as a thank you.

Could it be referring to that accidental rescue incident?

All kinds of speculations converge into a line pointing to an unknown direction, making the whole journey even more mysterious.

In an instant, countless stories of heroes saving beauties emerged in Jiang Jinhe's mind.

Those romantic plots unfolded before her eyes like vivid paintings. In each story, there was a handsome male protagonist who risked his life to save the woman of his dreams from danger.

If Song Wenqin happened to save Zhou Xiaohui, it would seem natural that Zhou Xiaohui would take a fancy to him.

After all, among all the young people in the village, Song Wenqin can be considered one of the best in terms of appearance and family background, not to mention his kindness and strong character.

But on second thought, maybe they have known each other for a long time?

However, due to the strict discipline in Zhou Xiaohui's family and the long-established marriage contract, their relationship was restricted, so even if they had feelings for each other, they could only hide them in their hearts.

This sudden journey to escape famine gave the lovers more opportunities to interact with each other.

The more Jiang Jinhe thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Song Wenqin is simply a typical scumbag - he already has a wife but he still wants to save another woman!

Even if Zhou Xiaohui is indeed beautiful and has a well-proportioned figure, can she really compare to my stunning appearance after I dress up carefully and look like a village beauty?

What a lack of vision!

She was so angry that she simply moved her feet to a position farther away from Aunt Song.

"Humph! Stay away from him."

Jiang Jinhe secretly swore in his heart: From now on, he will never pay attention to such a bad person again.

"Jinhe, what's wrong with you? Follow closely so we can take care of each other!"

Aunt Song's silver hair fluttered in the wind as she looked at her granddaughter with concern.

Jiang Jinhe forced a smile and responded, "Oh, you see, I'm just worried about Mom's safety. If anything dangerous happens along the way, at least I can stop it."

Hearing these extremely filial words, the originally worried face instantly broke into a warm smile.

"Okay, little girl, but don't forget that you are very delicate and you need to take good care of yourself. Our family can't do without any of you."

He noticed that the gaze from the person next to him was full of inquiry, and was trying to guess some information from the changes in his expression.

Jiang Jinhe immediately turned her head and pretended not to see the other party's eye contact - if only to maintain the last bit of self-esteem and pride.

After this little dispute ended, the long-suppressed atmosphere in the team finally began to ease.

Although everyone had been walking for several hours on the rugged and bumpy road, and the pain in everyone's feet became more and more obvious with the sun, in the last section of the journey before reaching the destination, everyone mustered up their strength and quickened their pace.

Finally, after countless arduous journeys, everyone arrived at the open and vast area on Tongshan Mountain.

The sight of this once prosperous place now in ruins made everyone tense up involuntarily. All they could see were various debris scattered all over the ground.

The old village chief, who was leading the group in front, was even more anxious and urged the group behind to move forward quickly: "Fellow villagers, hurry up!"

"Just a little more effort and we'll be in a safe area. We'll be able to reach Fancheng safely tonight and have a good night's rest!"

Just as everyone's tension, which had just eased, was rising again, a faint yet terrifying sound suddenly rang out from the depths of the jungle not far away...

A burst of fine rustling sounds came from the dense forest, as if a wild beast was stalking, and an inexplicable sense of fear filled the air.

The surroundings instantly fell into silence.

After a brief silence, when everyone gradually realized that there was no real threat around, they did not dare to stay here any longer. They hurriedly picked up the packages they were carrying and fled the scene.

At this moment, a violent gust of wind suddenly blew up in the sky, followed by a deafening tiger roar.

A sharp and shrill sound tore through the air and pierced the sky, stirring up dust and fallen leaves...

"Wow ah ah..."

"That looks like a tiger..."

Immediately afterwards, a second round of even more ferocious and terrifying roars pierced the sky...

The children cried and screamed...

Someone in the crowd shouted, "Hurry up and find a place to hide!"

Suddenly the whole situation was completely out of control, and everyone ran away like crazy.

Because there are many huge rocks in the mountains, many survivors have saved their lives in previous crises by relying on the natural shelter between them, so at this moment everyone instinctively rushed towards that side.

Seeing that there was a large rock not far ahead that was strong enough to serve as a temporary shelter, Jiang Jinhe immediately rushed there to occupy a favorable position to catch his breath.

However, before she could get close to the target area, a strong and powerful arm stretched out from behind her and grabbed her tightly, unable to move. "Stop!"

The big hand was as solid as steel, firmly clamping her arm with no intention of letting go.

Although I felt extremely wronged and even painful inside, in such a crisis situation, there seemed to be no better choice than to let myself be manipulated.

Song Wenqin pulled her to the side of the natural barrier formed by the rocks behind him. Although the force was very strong, it saved her from danger in time.
