Jiang Wan still carried Song Jiuyuan into the ruined temple. Everyone in the ruined temple continued to sleep, and no one saw this scene.
Song Jiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't want others to see his embarrassment.
Jiang Wan seemed to have guessed something, so she quickly brought him back to their place and took out another set of clothes from the package.
"Hurry up and put it on, I'll help you block it."
She turned her back and thoughtfully used her old clothes to block her non-existent sight. Song Jiuyuan's heart warmed slightly and he silently changed out of his half-wet clothes.
After a while, Jiang Wan heard his soft voice, "Thank you!"
She really fell in love with him. Although he didn't have any feelings for her now, he would definitely treat her well in the future.
Jiang Wan didn't know the messy thoughts in Song Jiuyuan's mind. Now that Song Jiuyuan had sorted them out, she yawned and continued to rest.
The night was uneventful. When they woke up in the morning, everyone was happy to find that the rain had lightened up. Although it was still falling, it had turned into a gentle drizzle.
Song Jiuli was full of hope, "Looking at this trend, the rain should stop soon."
"Maybe."
Jiang Wan is not so optimistic, not because the rain has stopped, but because of the series of problems he may face after the heavy rain.
They still steamed yams for breakfast, but it was from the Lao Song family. They were so greedy last night that they ate Xu Wei's chicken.
In the morning, there was nothing to eat. I could only eat the wild grass picked by Madam Song Sanniang yesterday. It had no taste, but it could temporarily fill my stomach.
But Xu Wei didn't eat, his eyes were heavy and he didn't know what he was thinking.
As expected, the rain stopped completely in the morning. Ren Bang asked Xiao Deng to check the situation first. Xiao Deng came back soon after with a sad face.
"Boss, the rain has stopped, but the road ahead is still open."
"We can't wait forever, let's go to the passage ourselves!"
Ren Bang gritted his teeth. No one could afford to delay for too long, so they had to continue on their way.
The official told him to continue on his way. Even though everyone was unwilling, they couldn't resist, so they could only pack their luggage and hit the road.
Jiang Wan casually grabbed a handful of hay from the ruined temple, turned it over with her fingers, and knitted a pair of simple straw sandals.
"Put it on over your shoes."
There was mud outside, and their shoes were cloth shoes, which were prone to slipping.
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome."
After Song Jiuli truly changed her mind towards Jiang Wan, her mouth became sweeter. However, Jiang Wan had no time to deal with her and just quickly knitted a pair of straw sandals for each of them.
"Put them all on."
"good."
Mrs. Song had great trust in Jiang Wan and followed Jiang Wan's example in putting the straw sandals on her own shoes.
Seeing them putting the unsightly straw sandals on their own shoes, Shen Qian curled her lips in disgust.
"It's so ugly!"
Even if the other members of the Old Song family saw it, they didn't take it seriously. Naturally, Jiang Wan wouldn't explain it to them.
However, Mrs. Chen trusted Jiang Wan very much and also grabbed a handful of straw and said, "Sister, I want to learn to weave straw sandals with you."
She didn't think too much, she just thought that it was a long journey and her shoes would definitely be worn out in the future. She didn't have the money to buy shoes. If she could wear straw sandals, it would be better than bare feet.
"I teach you."
Jiang Wan taught her step by step. Mrs. Chen was smart and learned it quickly. She was especially grateful to Jiang Wan.
At first, no one knew Jiang Wan's intentions until they left the ruined temple and stepped on the slippery mud. Shen Qian fell down and gnawed on the mud.
"Ahhh!"
Shen Qian was covered in mud, and she collapsed and tried to rub the mud off her face, but the result was that it was still as muddy as a clay sculpture.
Jiang Wan couldn't help but chuckle, and Song Jiuli went even further, pointing at Shen Qian and saying, "Shen Qian, it's not the New Year yet, so you don't need to pay such a big gift."
"Shut up!"
Shen Qian was so angry that she turned into a quail with fear when she met the official's warning eyes with her newly raised momentum.
"Mom, let's tighten up so we don't fall."
Jiang Wan held Madam Song with one hand and Song Jiuli with the other, while Song Jiuli was holding Song Jiuchi weakly.
Wearing straw sandals under their feet, they walked not fast but smoothly. Song Jiuli immediately praised Jiang Wan proudly.
"Sister-in-law, you are so smart."
Another person fell to the ground in front of her. When she looked carefully, it was Aunt Duan. Song Jiuli couldn't help but smile again.
Many people fell down along the way, and everyone looked at the straw sandals under Jiang Wan's feet with envy.
The Chen family, who initially learned to weave straw sandals from Jiang Wan, also became the object of envy.
"Fortunately, madam, you are smart and learned from the little lady of the Song family."
Chen Ce couldn't help but feel lucky, otherwise they might have fallen to the ground at this moment.
Mrs. Chen smiled softly, "I just thought that if the shoes on our feet are torn, it would be better for us to go barefoot."
"I'm sorry, madam, for making you suffer with me."
Chen Ce felt guilty. If he hadn't married him, his wife wouldn't have to suffer like this.
Mrs. Chen was moved in her heart, with tears in her eyes, "Whatever you said, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, I will share the ups and downs with you."
The gentle words between the two were not loud, but Jiang Wan heard them clearly, and a hint of envy appeared in her eyes.
This kind of mutual love is too rare in modern times. It is another day to be touched by the love of others.
When Song Jiuyuan looked over, he happened to see the envy in her eyes, and couldn't help but wonder, could she also want to hear good words?
Sure enough, she still expected him to love her.
Soon they came to a place where the road was blocked not far away. There was a road in front of them, but the middle of the road was filled with dirt.
It was a mudslide caused by loose soil on one side during heavy rain. In fact, this place was very dangerous, Jiang Wan subconsciously reminded Ren Bang.
"Brother Ren, there has been a mudslide in this place. The heavy rain has just stopped and it is still very dangerous."
"But we have to go."
Ren Bang sighed. They couldn't stay sealed in the ruined temple in the corner of the village. They would also starve to death by then.
He called on everyone to come forward to help. Except for children like Song Jiuyuan and Chen Wenhao, no one could stand by and watch.
Song Jiuchi put Song Jiuyuan to one side, guarded by the eldest lady, while they stepped forward to help.
"Be careful!"
Song Jiuyuan always felt his heart beating wildly and had a bad premonition.
Jiang Wan nodded to him, and several people followed the team. Ren Bang had already started to distribute tasks.
There were many of them, so it was not difficult to clean up the dirt in the middle of the road, and everyone got busy.
"Master, there is danger!"
The elf who had not appeared for a long time suddenly reminded Jiang Wan sharply, and the scream almost made Jiang Wan's eardrums deafen.
But she reacted quickly and quickly realized what the elf meant, so she quickly backed away and shouted:
"Quick, everyone run!"
"Jiang Wan, what kind of monster are you..."
Shen Qian wanted to taunt Jiang Wan, but her eyes widened in the next second. There was a violent noise, and the soil in front of them rushed towards them.
