My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

No matter how terrified and uneasy Lu Bingchun's family was, Ji Yunshuang slept soundly that night.

Before dawn the next day, she went for a walk in the mountains, inspected the black soil, and then returned to the camp with the wild vegetables she had picked the night before.

These wild vegetables, placed in the refrigerated half of the space, looked as fresh and tender as if they had just been picked.

Gu Chunzhi was astonished when she saw the wild vegetables Ji Yunshuang brought back. "There are still such tender wild vegetables in this season?"

Ji Yunshuang laughed and said, "I was also very surprised when I found it in the woods. I didn't expect there to be such tender wild vegetables in this season."

Gu Chunzhi increasingly felt that her daughter-in-law was blessed with good fortune.

Otherwise, who would be so lucky as to find such tender wild vegetables at this time of year?

She had originally planned to simply boil a pot of water this morning to soak rice balls and braised meat.

Since Ji Yunshuang brought back wild vegetables, she simply washed them, added some salt to the pot, and made a simple wild vegetable soup.

Even the most tender wild vegetables wouldn't taste very good normally. But this simple wild vegetable soup had a very unique and refreshing aroma.

Lu Yanqi woke up to this special aroma of food.

When he realized he had fallen asleep while thinking about it last night and hadn't done anything, his face scrunched up like a bun.

However, no one noticed his expression at that moment.

Everyone was drawn to the wild vegetables in the cauldron.

Lu Zilin sniffed the air and leaned closer to Ji Yunshuang, saying, "Sister-in-law, why do these wild vegetables smell so good?"

Ji Yunshuang never expected that the wild vegetables grown in the black soil would be so fragrant.

She didn't answer her brother-in-law's question, but instead eagerly picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth.

The wild vegetables, boiled in plain water with only salt, tasted even better than the organic vegetables that her grandparents used to grow in the countryside, which were free of pesticides and fertilizers.

She was thrilled and filled with anticipation for the various crops grown on the black soil.

However, she looked a little puzzled and said, "I don't know why these wild vegetables smell so good, I guess I'm just lucky!"

Lu Zilin nodded in agreement and said, "Sister-in-law is truly our lucky star! With you by our side, we will definitely be able to reach Jiangzhou smoothly."

Lu Wuzheng and Lu Xumu both nodded in agreement.

Seeing the group surrounding Ji Yunshuang with fawning and praising expressions, Lu Yanqi's face scrunched up even more.

When did the uncles and that woman become so close?

Are these the same uncles from his past life who hated him so much that they gritted their teeth whenever they talked about his mother?

Lu Wuzheng had no idea how tormented his nephew was at that moment. He ladled out a large bowl of vegetables, added rice balls and braised meat, and handed it to Lu Yanqi, saying, "Eat quickly, eat more, so you'll have the strength to travel later."

After handing the bowl to his little nephew, he went to Lu Yinheng and asked, "Brother, based on your previous estimate of the route, will we be able to reach the main road this afternoon?"

“If we walk fast, we might reach the main road by noon.” Lu Yinheng was still a little worried and instructed again, “The situation on the main road is more complicated than in the mountains, so be extra vigilant.”

Lu Wu patted his chest and said, "Brother, don't worry! I know! I'll go and distribute the rations again right away."

The tiger meat and wild boar meat suddenly made the Lu family's provisions much more abundant. In order not to attract the covetous eyes of others on the official road, they had divided the provisions into five portions, with each of the Ji Yunshuang and Lu Yinheng brothers carrying one portion.

However, Lu Wuzheng felt that this was still not safe enough.

It would be best if you further divided your dry food into smaller portions, taking out only a small portion each time to eat, so that you are less likely to attract attention.

Gu Chunzhi and the others agreed with Lu Wuzheng's suggestion. After hurriedly reorganizing the rations, they set off in a rush.

Just as Lu Yinheng had predicted, they left the mountains and reached the official road before noon.

Seeing the dense crowd on the official road, everyone couldn't help but feel nervous.

Sometimes, humans are more dangerous than wild animals!

As Lu Yinheng and his group entered the official road, several groups of refugees stared at them with eyes like hungry wolves.

But upon seeing the large sword hanging on Lu Yinheng's body and the aura he exuded, many refugees reluctantly turned their gaze away.

This man exudes a fierce aura; he's clearly not someone to be trifled with.

Besides him, there were several men following behind him, who also looked quite formidable.

Although some refugees temporarily withdrew their gaze out of fear of Lu Yinheng and the other men, many others were clearly unwilling to give up and continued to secretly observe Lu Yinheng and his group.

If they show the slightest sign of weakness, or if the refugees find even the slightest opportunity, the refugees will pounce on them like hungry wolves and devour them alive.

Hu Quan, his face dark, glared fiercely at the eldest couple and snorted, "Look what you've done!"

Sister-in-law Hu was so frightened by the refugees that her legs trembled.

She knew the journey of fleeing famine was fraught with danger.

But to their surprise, the refugees on the road near Jiangzhou were just as ferocious as the bandits they had encountered before.

At this point, she genuinely began to regret it.

We should be patient and wait until we get to Jiangzhou to make further plans.

Hu Chunjiao couldn't help but overthink things at this moment.

If they hadn't broken off their engagement with Lu Wuzheng, even if the Lu family didn't provide them with much better food and drink, they would have taken better care of them in times of danger.

But now...

Hu Chunjiao unconsciously looked in the direction of Lu Wuzheng and found him standing beside her sister-in-law, guarding her nephew and niece with great vigilance, not looking in her direction at all. She immediately looked away in shame and indignation.

She thought to herself, so what if she didn't have his protection? She had her own brothers, and her nephews were all grown up; they weren't lacking in anything either. They could manage without him!

She's determined to marry a man ten thousand times better than him someday.

Hu Chunjiao stubbornly refused to admit that she regretted it. But Lu Bingchun's family, who followed closely behind, were now filled with deep regret.

Liu grabbed Ma Lan and threatened in a low voice, "Ma Lan, you better tell me the truth. Did you say any of those things to that bitch Ji? If you don't tell me the truth, I'll skin you alive."

Looking at her fearful expression, Ma Lan felt a strange sense of pleasure. Even when Liu's fingernails dug into her skin, she didn't show the slightest sign of pain.

Seeing refugees looking in their direction, Liu grew increasingly anxious and tightened her grip. "You wretch, why don't you talk?"

Ma Lan then slowly said, "I didn't say anything."

Upon hearing this, Liu immediately exclaimed excitedly, "Eldest son, your wife said she didn't say anything! Let's hurry and catch up with him, and talk to your cousin properly! Let him take us with him!"
