Armed with a machete and a gun, armed with a system, they fled the famine.

"Yang Zhangshi was indeed sincere to me for the first few years, but Yang Erlang has been a hypocrite since childhood, and he is also very jealous. He can't stand me being favored in front of him."

“He often falsely accused me of stealing things from the house because he was a few years older than me. At first, Yang Zhangshi did not believe it, but after it happened many times, and with Yang Erlang stirring things up in front of her, Yang Zhangshi became more and more impatient with me, and finally even wanted to sell me.”

"It was my adoptive father who pleaded for me, which is why I was able to stay in the Yang family."

Zhao Yan shifted uncomfortably, but the man held her even tighter in his arms.

Yang Sanlang said urgently, "Yan'er, I only recognize my adoptive father in the Yang family. Now that my adoptive father is gone, I will not stay in the Yang family anymore. It would be best if you severed ties with the Yang family. From now on, we will have nothing to do with the Yang family."

“Yan’er, a wife follows her husband wherever he goes. Wherever you and Xiaomi are, that’s where my home will be.”

Zhao Yan's lips twitched violently at the man's forceful confession.

You wouldn't guess he has the potential to be a devoted and filial husband.

but--

"Let go of me first, my back hurts."

Zhao Yan pressed her hands firmly against the man's hard chest and glared at him unhappily.

Stinky man.

If it weren't for the fact that you risked your life to save me just now, I would have given you a leg that would have crippled you.

The woman glanced at him casually, and Yang Sanlang felt his heart flutter. Reluctantly, he let go of her arm.

A trace of softness remained in his palm. At this moment, only one sentence filled his mind: "Slender and boneless, delicate waist, light in the palm."

His wife's waist is so flexible.

"Yan'er, I won't get a divorce, please don't abandon me."

The tone sounded pitiful.

Isn't that just pathetic?

He was abandoned right after birth, and even after being picked up by Yang Tieguo, he couldn't be protected.

She was bullied by Yang Erlang from a young age and was disliked by Yang Zhangshi.

Even after reaching adulthood, he was forced to marry a mentally challenged woman, and later, on their wedding day, he was forced by Yang Zhangshi to perform corvée labor for Yang Dalang.

If it weren't for Zhao Yan from the modern era, and if he hadn't possessed some good fortune, it's uncertain whether they would have been able to reunite in this lifetime.

Zhao Yan wanted a divorce so she could live a carefree life with her daughter. But Xiao Mi wanted a father, so she was willing to put up with it for now.

If the man really doesn't meet her expectations, she can divorce him then.

However, legally speaking, she and her daughter already constituted their own household, and if Yang Sanlang wanted to follow them, he would have to become an adopted son-in-law.

She raised her clear, bright eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.

"If you don't want a divorce, then you'll have to marry into the family."

"After severing ties with the Yang family, I established a female household registration. Are you willing to marry into the family?"

In ancient times, it was considered a great disgrace for a man to marry into his wife's family.

Would Yang Sanlang agree?

To everyone's surprise, Yang Sanlang nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll marry into your family."

His burning gaze fell upon Zhao Yan, and his heart throbbed slightly.

"You saved my life. I'm willing to do anything you want."

I'd like a divorce, but why don't you want one?

Zhao Yan thought to herself: Men's words are indeed deceitful.

You can't trust them.

Feeling uneasy under the man's intense gaze, she replied curtly, "Do as you please."

He then twisted his body and quickly went to find the dagger that had been thrown.

Yang Sanlang grinned foolishly, picked up the machete from the ground, and followed after him.

The two completely forgot about Little Grey, who had been pushed aside.

"Uuuuuu——"

Feeling neglected, Little Grey was very unhappy and chased after them with small, quick steps.

Zhao Yan arrived at the place where the brown bear mother had been attacked.

The area was overgrown with weeds, and the ground was trampled beyond recognition by the weight of the brown bear mother, who weighed hundreds or thousands of pounds.

Finding such a small thing as a dagger will probably take some effort.

Zhao Yan rummaged through the weeds, her brows furrowed into a deep frown.

She watched as the dagger pierced through the brown bear's large ear. According to the path, the dagger should have been in this area. How could she not find it?

Could it have ended up somewhere else?

It's such a waste to lose the dagger that cost her several taels of silver.

She couldn't help but expand her search area, her figure gradually moving northward.

Seeing this, Yang Sanlang hurriedly followed.

Little Gray was running behind the two of them, its eyes darting around. When it saw smoke billowing in the air to the west, its curiosity was piqued, and it ran in that direction without saying a word.

have to.

It had completely forgotten the danger it had just faced.

"careful!"

Just as Zhao Yan was about to take a step forward, Yang Sanlang flew over in a few strides, pulled her behind him with one hand, and at the same time raised his machete and slashed at the bushes in front of him with his right hand.

Zhao Yan stared wide-eyed and saw a giant, greenish-blue python, as thick as an arm, lying beneath the blade.

Although the snake's head had been severed with a single stroke, its body continued to twist and turn erratically.

After a long time, it finally stopped twisting and died a worthy death.

Yang Sanlang turned to look at the woman behind him, thinking she would be afraid.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan calmly said "thank you" to him, then stepped forward and picked up the headless snake body.

"Take this back and make snake soup for everyone at noon to help them recover."

Yang Sanlang: "...Uh...Okay."

My wife isn't afraid of bears or snakes, but she's afraid of getting close to him.

Yang Sanlang felt heartbroken.

Zhao Yan handed the headless snake body and the cleaver to Yang Sanlang, and was about to continue searching for a dagger when Xiao Hui's loud howl came from the west.

Zhao Yan looked behind the two of them, but Xiao Hui was nowhere to be seen!

“This little guy!”

She gritted her teeth and angrily rushed towards the source of the sound.

"I'm with you."

Yang Sanlang was worried, so he followed.

To get to the west from here, you need to go up a steep slope first.

Yang Sanlang wielded his machete and led the way. The two quickly climbed the steep slope and were immediately captivated by the sight before them.

Below the steep slope was a lake with blue-green water, surrounded by rocks and weeds.

A faint smell of sulfur permeated the air.

Little Gray was splashing around on the rocky beach by the lake.

Perhaps the stones in the water were too slippery. It wanted to get ashore, but its feet kept slipping. So, before long, it fell into the water and was forced to swallow several mouthfuls of lake water.

"Ow—"

Upon seeing the person who came, it pitifully cried out for help to Zhao Yan.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yan burst out laughing.

She turned to the man beside her and said, "Wait here for a moment."

Then we slowly descended the steep slope.

Upon arriving at the rocky beach, as soon as I put my hand into the water, a warm sensation instantly enveloped my fingertips.

Ok?

Why is the water hot?

Zhao Yan raised an eyebrow in surprise, and a guess boldly formed in her mind.

Could this lake be a hot spring?

Her bright eyes suddenly turned to the man on the steep slope, and she smiled at him, "Sanlang, come down and take a look, this looks like a hot spring."

spa?

Yang Sanlang was also surprised for a moment, then lightly touched the ground with his toes and leaped down.

He walked over and put his hand in the water.

Feeling the warmth in his palm, he exclaimed in surprise, "It really is hot spring water."
