Hearing his daughter's occasional giggles, Lu Yinheng's face slowly turned ashen!

That woman, she must know what he hated most in his past life, right?

So, in this life, he comes back and tries his best to please his daughter?

She thought that if she pleased her daughter, her daughter would forgive her for what she had done in her past life.

She is dreaming!

He will never forgive her!

most……

He glanced at his daughter, who was laughing happily, and made a concession in his heart.

At most, I'll forgive her because she made her daughter happy...

Realizing that he had once again softened his heart towards her and made concessions time and time again, he suddenly drew the large sword from his waist and chopped it down at a nearby tree.

He chopped down a large, thick tree with a single stroke, and the tree fell with a loud crash.

In the darkness, several men who had been hiding in the bushes like rats were instantly terrified and fled in panic, screaming and yelling.

Lu Zilin opened his mouth wide and looked at his older brother with eyes full of admiration, saying, "Big brother, you're amazing! How did you know there was someone hiding in the bushes over there?"

Lu Yinheng, who was expressing his anger and accidentally hitting the group of rats in the thicket of bushes: "..."

Although Lu Yinheng did it unintentionally, everyone felt that he had discovered the thieves hiding in the bushes beforehand, and cutting down the trees was a warning to them.

He was able to chop down such a big tree with one stroke and make the falling branches hit those people with perfect accuracy. How amazing is that?

That night, none of the refugees in the vicinity dared to make any sudden moves.

The next day, Lu Yinheng continued leading everyone on their journey.

However, during their journey, some people secretly followed them.

During their midday rest stop, several women even came to greet Ji Yunshuang, their words implying that they wanted to form an alliance with them and travel together.

Ji Yunshuang refused them all.

As evening approached, another woman, clutching a purse, secretly tried to slip it into her arms.

Although the woman was so thin she was practically skin and bones, you could tell by touching her hands that she must have come from a very wealthy family, as she hadn't done much manual labor.

Ji Yunshuang glanced in the direction of her family and immediately understood why she had risked her life to come find her.

Besides her two children, the woman's family consisted of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl and an elderly woman with white hair.

The two children looked to be only seven or eight years old. Whether they were sick or hungry, they looked listless and as if they might collapse at any moment.

This family must have originally been wealthy, but something happened on their escape route, and all the men in the family were gone, leaving only the elderly and children barely alive.

The woman took out the money and secretly went to find her, which must have been a desperate and risky decision.

She felt a pang of reluctance, but still refused the woman's request.

After the woman returned home, she secretly returned the silver to the old lady in her family, saying with great disappointment, "Mother, she didn't agree."

"It's normal that they don't agree!" Old Mrs. Zhao sighed. "Our family is full of women, children, and the elderly, and it's not easy to protect them. Her husband is a capable man, and he won't have to worry about making money in the future, so why take the risk?"

After saying that, she sighed and said, "Let's just follow behind them! When we rest at night, we should try to stay close to their house. She's an upright person, so it's always good to be close to her house."

If she weren't a decent person, she could have easily taken their money and then ignored their fate.

But she didn't, and even deliberately covered up the fact that her daughter-in-law had given her money.

It's clear that although she rejected them, she genuinely cared about them.

Nie sniffed and said worriedly, "But... Zheng'er and Rong'er haven't eaten much for two days."

Even if they don't encounter any more robbers on the road, the two children will still starve to death.

Her husband sacrificed himself to save their lives; if she couldn't protect her two children, how could she face him in the future?

Grandma Zhao also had a headache.

They had no food, not only because it was inconvenient to buy food while fleeing, but more importantly because they dared not show off their money.

The reason she asked her daughter-in-law to take the money to seek refuge was because they were running out of food and had no other choice. She also thought the family looked honest and upright, so she let her daughter-in-law take the risk and try.

But since they've already refused, trying to win them over will only annoy them.

Grandma Zhao said, "Take care of the two children first. I won't eat tonight. I'll think of something else."

Nie immediately said anxiously, "How can that be! Ever since the accident, you've only been eating one meal a day, in the evening. Now you're not even eating one meal. How can you survive?"

Grandma Zhao grabbed a handful of leaves from the bushes and put them in her mouth to chew. "You have to hold on, even if you can't. Don't make a fuss."

After Madam Nie returned home, Ji Yunshuang kept a close eye on the situation. She naturally noticed Old Madam Zhao eating grass.

Seeing the old woman's actions, she frowned slightly, picked up the tiger cub, stood up and said to Lu Yinheng, "You watch the child, I'm going into the woods."

Lu Yinheng opened her mouth, the words of asking someone to accompany her were almost on the tip of her tongue, but she swallowed them back down with a sour face.

Finally, he gave a curt "hmm" with a cold face.

Ji Yunshuang was already used to his cold face and didn't take his attitude seriously.

She quickly carried the tiger cub into the bushes.

Before entering the official road, she prepared several bottles of milk at the right temperature and placed them in her spatial storage, intending to give them to the little tiger cub when it would be inconvenient to enter the spatial storage after arriving at the official road.

Unexpectedly, once they reached the official road, not only was it inconvenient to enter the space, but it was also difficult to even take out the baby bottle to feed the tiger cubs.

There are simply too many people on the official road.

And many people are watching them.

After entering the forest, Ji Yunshuang found a relatively secluded spot, squatted down, and took out a baby bottle from her spatial storage to feed the tiger cubs.

The little tiger cub didn't eat anything all day. But as soon as the bottle was put in its mouth, it started gulping it down.

The tiger cubs were happily eating when Ji Yunshuang suddenly heard the sound of a branch breaking.

Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly covered the tiger cub with a cloth, then drew a dagger from her waist.

Just as her dagger was about to fly towards the source of the sound, the tall thatched grass was parted, and a faint voice came from inside.

"Shuangniang, it's me!"

Ma Lan, her head covered in weeds, poked her head out of the bushes and said.

Ji Yunshuang put away her dagger with some surprise, frowning as she asked, "Why is it you?"

"I came here secretly. I came to tell you some news so that you can be prepared in advance."

Malan said, "They...have colluded with those refugees. I heard him tell that refugee about your situation...I don't know what they've been secretly discussing, but anyway, you'd better be careful!"

After saying that, she turned and tried to run away.

"Wait a minute!" Ji Yunshuang called out to her, then, using her pocket as a cover, took out a few rice balls from her spatial storage and stuffed them into her hand, saying, "Consider this your reward for delivering the message."

Ma Lan looked at the rice ball in her hand and couldn't help but swallow.

After she returned home, her mother-in-law and husband did nothing but beat her and make her do chores. They didn't give her any food to eat.

She would pick up anything edible, but her mother-in-law would take it away.

She could only gnaw on tree bark and pick wild grass from the roadside to eat. Her teeth ached from gnawing, and her mouth tasted of grass, but she could only endure it.

No matter how much tree bark and wild grass she ate, her stomach ached from hunger. She thought she was going to starve to death.

I never imagined that I would be able to eat rice before I die.

She grabbed a rice ball and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

The satisfaction of eating the rice brought tears to her eyes.

She solemnly thanked Ji Yunshuang: "Shuangniang, thank you!"

Seeing her like that, Ji Yunshuang, unusually, said, "In this chaotic world, I don't know how to settle down in Jiangzhou. But I think it's easy to get a new identity in this chaotic world."

Regardless of whether Ma Lan understood what she meant, she left the woods with the little tiger cub in her arms after speaking.

Ma Lan, however, stood there for a long time, holding the rice ball.

Ji Yunshuang's words were like a ray of light suddenly shining into her dark life.

A bold idea suddenly popped into her mind.
