Old Madam Chen became extremely annoyed when she heard Xie Fanjin reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra. Her face was wrinkled. "What's the point of reciting those nonsense all day long? It's useless. If you have the ability, you should think about how to cross the river first!"

Mrs. Chen Er also agreed: "That's right. He keeps thinking about it from morning till night. It's so noisy, just like a fly buzzing around."

After hearing what Old Madam Chen and Second Madam Chen said, Madam Qian took the lead and raised her voice even higher: "If you can do more good deeds within the 49 days after your death, you can enable all living beings to forever leave the evil realms and be reborn in the human and heavenly realms, enjoying supreme bliss. Your current family and relatives will benefit immeasurably..."

After reciting a passage from the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Xie Fanjin signaled everyone to pause for a moment.

She looked at Wuya and said, "Is there no other way? The flood is too deep and the current is too strong. We definitely can't get through."

Wuya was the person who took the initiative to lead the way for Xie Fanjin and his group outside Bingzhou City that day. He was the one who led everyone on the journey for the past two days.

Wu Ya's face turned pale. "I said to go from the south. The terrain there is higher and there will be no serious flooding. But your Cheng Gang insisted that going from the south would waste our journey and time. He insisted on going this way. Now what can I do?"

At this time, Wang Tiezhu knocked the gong in his hand and said, "Those behind, speed up and keep up. We will pass through the narrowest part of the water!"

When the Chen family heard this, their faces suddenly turned ugly.

Madam Chen, who cherished her life, immediately said, "Sir, we are old and our legs are not as strong as before. The flood is too deep and the current is too strong. We can't get through at all. We might even lose our lives!"

Madam Chen also agreed: "That's right, sir, there are pregnant women in our team. My daughter-in-law is three months pregnant. Let alone whether they can be washed away, even if they catch a cold, it will be difficult!"

Wang Tiezhu sullenly lashed out with the whip in his hand. "How dare you say that? If you hadn't delayed our journey for so long, would we have risked taking this shortcut? If you can get through, then go ahead. If you can't, then you deserve to be washed away!"

After hearing what Wang Tiezhu said, Mr. Chen's face darkened and he looked at Wang Tiezhu with some displeasure.

Wang Tiezhu immediately remembered something, chuckled, and softened his tone: "There's nothing we can do about it. Everyone, just work harder and be more careful!"

"Xie Fanjin, can you think of a way? Do we really have to wade across the river? We don't want to be washed away as soon as we go in!" Xiao Zhenzhen rubbed the mud under her feet, her tone resentful.

Xiao Liuzi walked back a few steps and shouted at the top of his voice: "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xiao, Xie Fanjin, you young men who are in good health, cross the river first!"

Jin was anxious: "How can that be possible? The flood is so deep. Unless we have wings to fly across, it is impossible to cross it with just two legs!"

Mrs. Chen San's face was not very good either: "I think they are deliberately bullying us and want us to drown!"

Xie Fanjin took two steps forward, smiling, "Why are we the first to cross the river? As officers, shouldn't you lead the way and explore the way ahead?"

Xiao Liuzi cracked the whip in his hand and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If I tell you to leave, then leave. If you don't leave, don't blame me for whipping you!"

Most of the Chen family members were waiting to see Xiao Yanxi and Xie Fanjin put on a good show, and they wished they would be washed away by the water.

Xie Fanjin spoke slowly, "Tell Cheng Gang that if we were washed away by the water and died, that would be fine. But if we survived and instead found a place to live happily, wouldn't he be punished for dereliction of duty by the higher-ups?"

Xiao Liuzi was so angry that he glared at Xie Fanjin fiercely, and when he left, he did not forget to look at Xie Fanjin.

Chen Xinyuan is really useless. After such a long time, he still hasn't dealt with Xie Fanjin, nor has he let him sleep with her. Xie Fanjin's little appearance and hot pepper spirit are really becoming more and more rare to him.

After hearing what Xiao Liuzi said, Cheng Gang wanted to draw his sword and chop Xie Fanjin to death.

He insisted on leaving from here just to make Xiao Yanxi and his group suffer, but he didn't expect that Xie Fanjin not only ruined his plan, but also threatened him in return.

"Go back to the original place and go from the south!" Cheng Gang's face darkened and he had to change his mind.

So, the group walked back slowly.

Xiao Zhenzhen gave Xie Fanjin a thumbs-up: "You're amazing."

Xie Fanjin raised his chin.

"I'm thirsty, give me some water."

Xiao Yanxi took the water bag from Bingyi and handed it to Xie Fanjin. Xie Fanjin opened the water bag, grabbed a piece of Xiao Yanxi's clothes and wiped the spout of the pot.

Xiao Yanxi seemed to have gotten used to it. He shook off the water stains on the corner of his clothes with a normal expression but a hint of disgust.

Xie Fanjin slowed down her pace and just raised her head to take a sip of water when she was suddenly hit on the shoulder. She staggered, screamed, and was about to fall down the hillside.

"Miss Xie!" Chen Xinyan wanted to reach out and pull Xie Fanjin. But his fingertips only touched the edge of Xie Fanjin's clothes.

The slope is so steep, and there is a raging flood at the bottom. Even if Xie Fanjin doesn't fall to death, he will be washed away by the flood and drowned.

Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Chen were so worried that their hearts were in their throats.

Xiao Yanxi quickly used his lightness skills, put his arm around Xie Fanjin's waist, and tiptoed back to his original position.

"Are you okay?" he asked immediately.

Xie Fanjin stuffed the water bag into Xiao Yanxi's hand, walked quickly forward, grabbed Chen Xinyu's hair, and slapped her twice.

Chen Xinyu was stunned by the beating. She covered her burning face and glared at Xie Fanjin: "What are you doing? Why did you hit me?"

Chen Xinyuan also spoke up: "Yes, Xie Fanjin, you are not a bully. The elder sister was walking peacefully, why did you slap her?"

Madam Chen noticed the commotion and hurried over: "Xie Fanjin, you're going too far! Why are you hitting my daughter?"

Xie Fanjin sneered: "Then ask, what did Chen Xinyu do to me while I was drinking water?"

Chen Xinyu looked aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. Before she could say anything, Xie Fanjin interrupted her: "Why are you crying? Do you think your tears are golden beans and worth a lot? You bumped into me and nearly made me roll down the hillside and almost lose my life. Why are you still feeling aggrieved?"

Chen Xinyu shook her head: "I didn't, I was just walking and didn't bump into you at all, you are slandering me and framing me!"

Xie Fanjin was a little amused: "Why would I slander you? Why would I frame you? Because you cherish Xiao Yanxi. Because I regard you as a love rival and I can't stand you?"
