Jiang Wan knew that Feng Shui should hate Li Daniu, she hated him for beating her son cruelly, and hated him for killing her son by going his own way.

But in Xiaozhai, if a woman loses her husband, she will live a very miserable life and will be bullied by the people in the village. Similarly, her natal family will also despise her as unlucky.

In this society where husbands are the key, if a wife sues her husband, she will be held accountable; if she helps someone else to accuse her husband, no matter the truth or not, she will be punished first and then sentenced to three years in prison.

Their small village followed the rules left by their ancestors, and the rules were stricter than outside.

If Feng Shui helps Jiang Wan correct Li Daniu, she will be whipped and beaten, and then. .In this era of patriarchy, she will be cast aside by others, saying that she is not a woman, that she favors outsiders, and that she betrayed her husband because of an affair outside.

Feng Shui didn't answer, just paused, and then crawled out from the cellar.

"Sister, will Feng Shui promise you?" Jiang Leng frowned and said, "She looks so weak and useless, she shouldn't dare to betray Li Daniu."

Jiang Wan shook her head and said, "I don't know."

She was also not sure if Feng Shui would help her, if she would, he would be punished for murder and arson.

Jiang Wan shook her head and asked Jiang Leng to take a nap together to conserve her strength. No matter whether Feng Shui helped her or not, when she escaped from here, she would go to the village chief to explain everything and expose Li Daniu's true face in front of all the villagers.

Li Xiaobao's body was destroyed, but the living witnesses of her and Jiang Leng are still there.

Feng Shui didn't lie to them, after an unknown period of time, the door of the cellar was opened again, and the person came with heavy footsteps, one could tell it must be Li Daniu.

Jiang Wan and Jiang Leng pretended to have fallen asleep, and the slightly hot lantern seemed to have stopped in front of her face for a long time before Fang slowly moved away, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps fading away.

Jiang Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Daniu left.

After the cellar was quiet again, Jiang Wan still didn't open her eyes just to be on the safe side. She waited for a long time before hearing the sound of footsteps and the cellar door closing again.

Jiang Wan still didn't move until she heard the sound of water splashing in the silent night, she immediately opened her eyes, and then gently scratched Jiang Leng's palm with her fingers.

Jiang Ling received the signal and went to get the knife left by Feng Shui. The two quickly cut the rope that bound them with the knife, and then found the key that was also hidden.

The movements of the two were very light. They opened the cellar door. The torrential rain outside had stopped, but the ground was still wet.

The cold moon hung high in the sky, and Jiang Wan almost shed tears. Although she kept calm in the cellar, she was still a little girl after all. In her memory, she grew up happily under the care of her parents.

But after the mother died, the fond memories in my mind were like a sweet dream. The original kind villagers all changed, like wild animals. How could this happen?

But she didn't have much time to be sad. She quickly crawled out of the cellar, and then pulled her brother out of the cellar.

The two left Li Daniu's house on tiptoe, and she ran to Feng Shui's younger sister's house as Feng Shui said.

Sister Feng Shui seemed to have expected them to come, the house was still lit, like a lighthouse guiding them in this silent night, and Feng Shui's younger sister, Feng Mu, was still waiting for them at the door.

She saw someone coming on the small road from a distance, took a closer look, and saw that it was Jiang Wan and the others, hurriedly opened the door, and said softly, "Jiang Wan, Jiang Leng, come in quickly."

Feng Mu's house is located in a remote place, and the neighbors on the left and right are far away, so their little voice cannot be heard by the neighbors on the left and right.

Jiang Wan stayed in the cold cellar for an unknown number of days, and now he finally came to a dry and warm room.

Feng Mu brought two cups of ginger tea to the two of them, and said in a pitiful tone, "Poor children, drink some ginger tea to warm your stomach."

The two took the ginger tea as promised, and Feng Mu went to serve the dishes again, "Come on, children, you must be hungry, eat more, you are welcome."

Jiang Wan's eyes turned red, she raised her head and thanked, "Thank you, Aunt Feng."

Aunt Feng sighed and said, "Don't thank me, hey. If your mother hadn't been with me in my early life, I would have died long ago."

"It's really a crime." Feng Mu scolded, "How could Li Daniu do such a heartless thing, he is a beast without humanity!"

Jiang Wan was crying while eating, Jiang Leng tilted his head to see his sister crying, even though he was already very hungry.

But he was not in a hurry to eat. Instead, he wiped Jiang Wan's tears with his hands, and hugged her to comfort her, "Sister, I'm still here."

"The home is gone, I can build another house."

"My strength is great, and I will soon be able to build a house the same as before."

"Sister, don't cry."

Jiang Wan hugged her younger brother who was connected by blood, and wiped away tears, feeling sour and relieved that her younger brother had grown up.

It's okay, as long as she has her younger brother, then she will always have a home.

"I won't cry." Jiang Wan patted his younger brother on the back and said, "Hurry up and eat, you have been hungry for so many days."

Jiang Leng had to eat a lot on weekdays. He hadn't eaten for so many days, and he couldn't be full with just a bowl of porridge.

Jiang Leng nodded, and the siblings began to eat, finally filling their stomachs after being hungry for a long time.

Feng Mu: "Hey, eat more, you are staying with me for a few days, just to be on the safe side, don't go out to meet people for the time being."

"After they get through the road, you can leave here."

Jiang Wan looked at Feng Mu and whispered, "Aunt Feng, I don't want to leave, I want to stay."

Feng Mu was shocked, "Stay here?! But your house was burned down, and if Li Daniu knew that you were not dead, he would definitely not let you go."

Jiang Wan's eyes were serious, "It's not my fault, why did I run? Li Daniu should be the one who ran."

Feng Mu sighed, "That's the truth, but the reality won't reason with you."

"Wan Wan, you listen to Auntie, Auntie will not harm you. With your sibling's current abilities, you are no match for Li Daniu, why should you leave your life here?"

Jiang Wan lowered her eyes, "I don't believe it. Could it be that everyone in the village doesn't know right from wrong?"

Jiang Wan raised her eyes and looked into hers, "Aunt Feng, are you really relieved that a crazy person like Li Daniu stays in the village?"

"His target today is me, but who knows who he will attack in the future?"

"As long as a bad guy does one bad thing, it's hard to stop."

He found that he didn't have to work hard every day to kill pigs and sheep, as long as he pointed the butcher knife at the weaker than him, he would receive much more pay than before. Will he still work as honestly as before?
