In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.
Chapter 22 I Too Can Turn Back the Tide
Qi Xuan tightened his grip on the arrow. "Mianmian, how could you think of me like that? Haven't I treated you well since you came back?"
"You? You're nice to me? Are you saying that against your conscience?"
Jiang Mianmian pointed to the sky, "It's raining now, so if you say anything carelessly, you might get struck by lightning."
Indeed, on the surface, Qi Xuan did his job very well after she returned to the Jiang family.
He would visit her at home from time to time, and every few days he would bring her some wild game. He never made any inappropriate advances towards her, and was very restrained and polite.
In her past life, she thought it was a perfect marriage, but she later learned that Qi Xuan did all this for Jiang Ranran.
He was looking after Jiang Ranran, and the wild game was also given to her. His restraint and propriety were to show Jiang Ranran his innocence and sincerity. Back when she was imprisoned, she foolishly begged Qi Xuan to save her, or even just to give her some food.
Unexpectedly, Qi Xuan turned around and told Jiang Ranran, which made her cry. She said that she had never lacked food for her sister, nor had she imprisoned her. Why would her sister slander her like this?
As punishment, Li starved her for three days.
She never saw Qi Xuan again. The next time she heard news of him, it was when he went out to find food for Jiang Ranran and was beaten and eaten by a group of refugees.
Jiang Ranran not only didn't shed a single tear, but she also openly got together with Ye Xiuyuan, took a lot of brown rice home, and was very proud of herself.
I wonder what this ultimate romantic would think if he knew about his past life?
At this moment, Qi Xuan also went through his mind and thought he hadn't given anything away.
He continued to feign grievance and deep affection, "Mianmian, this was originally a marriage between the Jiang family and the Qi family. You are the Jiang family's own daughter, so of course I should marry you. Now that you're gone, who...who am I supposed to marry?"
Jiang Mianmian waved her hand, "Marry whoever you want, anyway I have nothing to do with the Jiang family anymore. Don't worry, I won't go back. I just want to give you a piece of advice, the ballad is true, take your parents and run for your lives as soon as possible, especially away from Jiang Ranran."
Considering how well her uncle and aunt had treated her in her previous life, she decided to leave it at that.
Uncle Qi and Aunt Qi were kind and honest. They had advised Li to treat the children equally and to stop being so foolish, but unfortunately, neither of them listened to their advice.
Later, Qi Xuan died, and she lost contact with the two elderly people.
If he follows the same old path this time, perhaps we can find an opportunity to help the two elderly people.
Qi Xuan's expression changed. "How can you, as the older sister, speak to Ranran like that?"
"Ran~Ran~Sister~"
Jiang Mianmian imitated him, and then couldn't help but chuckle.
He thought to himself that top-tier romantics are indeed not so easy to persuade.
To put it bluntly, "Your sister Ranran has already secretly pledged her life to a man named Ye Xiuyuan. She tried every means to get me to come home so that I could marry you, so that she wouldn't be burdened with a bad reputation and could smoothly marry the man surnamed Ye."
At this point, she suddenly recalled many details from her past life.
Ye Xiuyuan's surname is Ye, and he's rich, so could he have some connection with the Ye family?
"You fart!"
Qi Xuan's face turned red with anger. "You're just spouting nonsense! What gives you the right to say that about her? You can't just say things like that because you want to marry me..."
Have you not had any water in a while?
Jiang Mianmian interrupted him.
Qi Xuan was stunned for a moment, then heard her continue, "Otherwise, why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror? You're such a fool, being played like a fool, and you actually think you're so desirable?"
Jiang Mianmian glanced at the fire starters under the tree. "You came here because she instigated this, didn't she? What, did she tell you to kill me?"
"She didn't! She just..."
Qi Xuan's mind conjured up that tear-streaked face.
"She just cried and cried, saying that she couldn't or wasn't worthy of marrying you, and that her sister was there, so how could she steal her sister's marriage?"
Jiang Mianmian imitated Jiang Ranran's expression and tone.
Seeing the shock in Qi Xuan's eyes, he knew he had guessed correctly and continued, "So you had the idea of simply making me disappear from the future, and followed me all the way here, wanting to kill me, but you still had some basic human decency, so you deliberately made a commotion and said those things to test me, right?"
"how do you know?"
After being exposed to the cold wind all night, Qi Xuan felt a buzzing in his ears.
He felt that Jiang Mianmian seemed to have a point, but he didn't dare to think about it, what if it were all true...
Jiang Mianmian pointed helplessly to her head, "Use your brain more, it's easy to guess, believe it or not is up to you."
She turned and left.
Instead of returning to the cave, he hid and kept an eye on Qi Xuan.
Qi Xuan stood there stunned for a long time before putting away his bow and arrows and staggering away.
The rain seemed to be getting heavier.
Jiang Mianmian waited until his figure had completely disappeared into the distance before returning to the cave.
Jiu Niang and the others had already put on their backpacks and their raincoats and hats.
Fourteen women, lined up from childhood to adulthood, looked so soft, tender, and fragrant.
Grandma Niu, standing at the end of the line, looked much younger.
But it's too weak!
Although Lin Hu and Lin Bao were men and tall, they were too thin, and their skills were only those of a man.
Compared to Qi Xuan, who hunts all year round, they are far inferior. No wonder they patrolled for half a day without realizing that someone was hiding there.
My body is so weak; climbing a city wall with a child left me exhausted. I didn't even notice Qi Xuan's presence last night.
Luckily, he had some sense and gave up shooting arrows. Otherwise, if several arrows had hit the cave in succession, still on fire, the group of people last night would have been badly injured, if not dead!
Therefore, these people must be trained! Even if they die in the future, they will be able to protect themselves!
Jiang Mianmian gathered her strength and asked, "Is the Fierce Tigers here?"
Lin Hu: "..."
He tentatively asked, "Are you there?"
Jiang Mianmian: "I can't hear you!"
"exist!"
Lin Hu was puzzled, but still answered loudly.
Jiang Mianmian looked somewhat dissatisfied. "Is the Leopard Team here?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Lin Bao was the younger brother, and he always wanted to compete with his older brother. He shouted three times in a row, each time louder than the last.
"very good!!!"
Jiang Mianmian also shouted at the top of her lungs, "Both teams, listen up! Line up and head up the mountain, ready to count off!"
Everyone looked completely bewildered.
Jiang Mianmian whispered in Lin Bao's ear, "Just say, 'The Fierce Leopard Team is ready. There are eight members in total, eight backpacks, the campfire is out, the cave is ready, and everything has been checked and found to be in order.'"
Lin Bao suddenly realized and immediately shouted it out loud.
"I'm the eldest brother, Miss Mianmian, why didn't you teach me first? I should have called out first!"
Lin Hu was dissatisfied.
"Who told you to be so quiet earlier? Now it's your team's turn."
Jiang Mianmian deliberately provoked 'confrontation'.
Sure enough, after this comparison, everyone scoffed and their resentment rose.
Lin Hu gave his team a wink, and they all shouted in unison:
"The Fierce Tigers are ready! The team consists of eight people, with eight backpacks. All traces have been removed, camouflage has been set up, and everything has been checked and found to be in order!"
The two teams had different roles: the Forest Leopard Team was responsible for ensuring the safety of the fire source and tidying up the temporary accommodations, while the Forest Leopard Team was responsible for eliminating footprints, smells, and garbage, and setting up camouflage in other locations to confuse others or wild animals.
Jiang Mianmian just checked it once, and although there were some oversights, they had done a very good job.
With a slight sense of relief, she finally shouted out the slogan she hadn't had a chance to shout yesterday:
"Though the mountain road is treacherous, it cannot stop me! Though fate is difficult, I will defy it!"
