Chapter 31
The sky is bright.

Fang Yao stood on the hillside, looking down at the deserted Lijia Village.

Who would have imagined that Lijia Village, which was almost untouched during the epidemic, would be relocated overnight after the closure of the village, leaving only the empty cave temple.

The patriarch led the villagers to kowtow three times to the ancestral hall in the south of the village, then stood up and said, "Okay, master, where are we going now?"

Fang Yao had discussed with Jiang before that she wanted to go north to Beijing, but now there are so many people following her at once, and there are many old, weak, sick and disabled, it is unrealistic for them all to travel long distances to the capital.

She considered for a moment, and said: "Go north first, if there is a suitable place on the road, you can stay if you want to stay."

The villagers felt that it was feasible, so they immediately packed up and set off officially.

Everyone was in twos and threes, men carrying heavy loads, women carrying packages and holding children.

There are also a few rickshaws, on which the sick and weak old people in the village are lying, and they are also full of large and small burdens, which are pushed and pulled by the young and strong men in the village in turn.

Fang Yao and Jiang walked with their children in the middle and back.

"Second sister, what's going on here? Why do these Li clan members listen to you?" Jiang's heart was panicked, she lowered her voice, and couldn't wait to throw out a long list of questions, "What happened in this month?" ? These people followed us, what can you do if the words you said are exposed..."

Looking at the team in front of her, Fang Yao was equally moved, and said in a low voice, "Sister, it's a long story. Anyway, it's not safe for us two women to take their children on the road. It's good to have them along..."

Dabao followed, with sharp ears, and interjected, "Mother, Auntie killed the rat monster. It was so big, she killed it in one fell swoop! She also saved Uncle Wu and other people in the village!"

Jiang obviously didn't believe it, "Dabao, don't talk nonsense, there is no mouse that looks as big as a human."

The little girl jumped up anxiously: "Mother, it's true! The patriarch even gave Auntie an old hen!"

It was only then that Jiang noticed that the ball of fluff that the little girl had been holding in her arms and refused to let go was actually a listless hen!

"what……"

She exhaled softly, and then quickly covered her mouth, for fear that she would attract other people's attention.

Fang Yao was a little embarrassed, she slightly pursed her mouth under the scarf, but the corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

After a while, she heard Jiang muttering: "It seems that what Mr. Fan said is true..."

Mr. Fan?
Fang Yao thought she heard it wrong, so she hurriedly asked, "What Mr. Fan?"

"It's Mr. Fan who was with Mr. Zhou. He told me that you and the children are fine, and you are living a good life. Otherwise... I don't know how to survive..." Speaking of this, Jiang Shi His eyes were red, and he wiped his tears away.

Fang Yao was tongue-tied, was the person Jiang was talking about, the one she had seen before?
She interrupted Jiang Shi's words, and said anxiously: "That Mr. Fan, does he like wearing a bamboo hat and a white jade pendant around his waist?"

Jiang Shi nodded lightly: "You really know him very well."

"..."

Fang Yao staggered, familiar?
Where is it cooked!

She and that fan surnamed only met each other for a short time, and every time the two of them even looked bad at each other, how could that guy go out of his way to comfort Jiang shi so kindly? ? ?
Can she not be surprised!

Is it...

Fang Yao silently turned her head to look at Jiang Shi. Although the latter is the mother of two children, she is only 24-[-].

The skin is a bit rough and dull, but generally speaking, Jiang's plain makeup without makeup is also above average.

Could it be that the person surnamed Fan...

Wait a minute, Fang Yao was startled, how did the Fan surname know that she was Jiang's younger sister? !
Every time she met him, she was either wearing a veil or smeared with yellow mud. She didn't look like a young girl at all!
It seemed as if some important detail had been overlooked by her.

Those dark and gloomy eyes came to mind again.

She finally remembered that the man called her "Aunt Jiang's sister" by the well. She didn't think much about it at the time, but now that she thinks about it, he probably heard Gouwa's father.

In the Li family village, there is only Jiang's family with foreign surnames. Since the surnamed Fan has met Jiang so long ago...it's no wonder that he suddenly called her by the well that day and said some inexplicable words.

But Jiang Shi doesn't look very old, it's not normal to have such an "old" sister like her!

What's more terrible, Fang Yao vaguely remembered that when she was stopped out of the village that day, A Wu Niang seemed to be still yelling at the bottom of the slope, "Aunt Jiang's sister is a fake master".

There was chaos at the time, and it was unknown if anyone on the slope heard it.

Is that fan surnamed at the scene...

Fang Yao only felt her head buzzing, and said tentatively: "Sister, did the person surnamed Fan ask you anything?"

Jiang shook her head: "That's not true, he just finished saying this and left."

"That's good……"

That man seemed to hate her very much. If he really caught her and knew that she was pretending to be the emperor, he might expose her immediately.

How could it be possible to just walk away without doing anything, or even leaving a word.

It seems that she should have not discovered her secret.

Fang Yao feels at ease.

As the sun rose and the sun grew stronger, the speed of the team gradually slowed down.

A Wu Niang, who was lively and lively on weekdays, yelled "Ouch, Ouch" after leaving for a while, and then squeezed onto the car with the children, refusing to get off no matter what.

"Master, after noon, do you want to stop and take a rest?" Patriarch Li Fugui ran over from the front and asked.

After walking the uneven mountain road for five or six hours in the sun, Fang Yao was already exhausted. She nodded: "Find a shady place to eat and wait for the hottest day to pass before leaving."

The patriarch wiped off his sweat and shouted forward with a smoky voice: "Rest, rest!"

There are a few taller poplar trees beside the road. This kind of tree is more drought-tolerant, and it is one of the few plants in this area that is alive and moist.

The villagers sat in the shade under the trees, put down their luggage, took out the dry food and water they carried with them, and began to eat slowly.

"Mom, I want to relieve..."

The little girl blushed from holding back, and quietly pulled Jiang's clothes.

"I'll go as well."

Fang Yao stood up and led her younger sister into the woods. Seeing this, several other women also followed behind.

Deep in the woods.

"Brother, some girls are here."

"Hey, that must be here." A rough and obscene voice chuckled, "They will come over later, do you know what to do?"

"Don't worry, just this little girl with small arms and legs, I can put it down in just a few clicks."

"Be quick and don't let the people over there hear you."

Seven or eight men hid behind the stone, and a dozen eyes stared at the woman who was walking towards us in the distance.

It is said that this is a forest, but in fact there are only a few sparse pine trees, which can't block the view from the outside at all. Those women want to make it easier, so they can only come over to them with dry thorn bushes.

By the time……

The leading man gently pushed aside a dead leaf, his eyes lingering greedily on several women.

Especially the one holding the child. Although the face was covered with a veil, the face could not be seen clearly, but the coarse linen clothes were occasionally swayed, showing exquisiteness.

Suddenly, the woman stopped and waved her hand.

"Eh? Brother, why don't those girls leave?"

 Glad to see someone voted for recommendation!These supportive friends!
