After the little cannon fodder was reborn, he chose the villain childhood sweetheart

"Detour?"

Feng Yuanfei was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and said, "Xie brother, this mountain is called Xu Ri Mountain, and the one connected to it is called Wu Yue Mountain. The two mountains are about a hundred miles apart. If you take the normal mountain road, you can get there in one day. But if you take a detour, it will probably take three or four days. And the most important thing now is food. It's cold now, and there are not as many wild vegetables and mushrooms as in spring and autumn. Wild animals are scarce and difficult to catch. What are we five going to eat?"

Xie Lan asked: "Brother Yuan Fei, how do you feel about the pancakes you had tonight?"

Feng Yuanfei replied: "It doesn't taste as good as pancakes, but it's very filling..."

His eyes lit up and he said in surprise, "Yes, it's to fill my stomach! Thank you, brother. I wouldn't have remembered it if you hadn't mentioned it. I only ate two small pieces of cakes at night and I felt full. I drank some water and now I still feel a little bloated. Do you have these cakes that are easy to fill your stomach?"

Xie Lan nodded and said, "There are still some. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's go back and talk about it."

"it is good!"

Feng Yuanfei suddenly felt like he saw hope, and his spirits returned a little.

The two men picked up a lot of dry firewood and told Erqiang and the other two about the situation outside.

Xie Lan said, "I brought some dry food with me. If the five of us eat sparingly, it should be enough to make it to Wuyue Mountain. Once we get to Wuyue Mountain, we can avoid the surveillance of the bandits and take a shortcut down the mountain to the official road."

Feng Yuanfei agreed very much. "This is the only way right now. Top three and top four, you should rest early and save up some energy. We will go out again tomorrow night under the cover of darkness."

"Okay, we'll all listen to Big Brother and Brother Xie!"

No sleep for one night.

The cave was still safe on the second day. Xie Lan gave two compressed biscuits to Feng Yuanfei and the other three, but no chocolate.

Chocolate is high in calories and is suitable for eating in cases of extreme hunger.

Now they are hiding and not consuming any energy.

Waiting for dusk to fall, the five people used the cover of night to sneak into one dense bush after another.

On the way, several people used the long swords and knives they carried with them to clear the way, and a pair of good shoes were trampled into mud.

Some were even scratched by sharp branches and stones, revealing the white cotton inside.

In contrast, Xie Lan's grey rabbit fur boots were not damaged at all, only stained with some dirt.

Feng Yuanfei was amazed when he saw this and said, "Thank you, brother. Can you please make me a pair of boots for your feet? I'll pay for it, no matter how much it costs!"

He was really envious.

The thick cotton shoes on my feet were also made by my wife.

But no matter how strong it is, it cannot withstand the ravages of the wild mountains and rocks.

It used to be better to walk on the mountain road because the ground was flat and there were no obstacles.

But opening up another road not only takes effort, but also wears out your shoes.

Er Qiang followed up and said, "I want a pair too. Brother Xie's boots are sturdy and warm, perfect for escorts like us who are always on the road!"

San Qiang said: "If the second brother wants it, I want it too."

Four Strong: "Me too."

Xie Lan raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "I'll ask for you later. I'm not sure if she will do it for you."

"It is said that beautiful people have good hearts. My sister-in-law is so beautiful, she will definitely agree!"

Feng Yuanfei smiled and joked, and the three strong men followed suit.

When Jiang Wan was mentioned, Xie Lan's eyes softened slightly.

He felt the warmth coming from the soles of his feet, and his chest gradually became hot as fire.

The few of them continued on their journey and encountered two patrols of bandits on the way.

Fortunately, Xie Lan was quick-witted and managed to escape the disaster along with Feng Yuanfei and the other three.

The few of them cleared the way while avoiding the searches of the bandits. After three days, they finally walked out of Xuri Mountain at midnight on the fourth day.

At this time, Xie Lan had finished eating the compressed biscuits and only had one piece of chocolate left. The rest were the milk tea powder and black oolong tea prepared by Jiang Wan.

The five people hid in a dry cave in Wuyue Mountain, their stomachs growling with hunger.

After several nights of intensive travel, they all lost a lot of weight.

Feng Yuanfei looked at the dark forest and said worriedly, "Brother Xie, this Wuyue Mountain is at least a thousand meters high. It will take at least a day to climb over it. But we haven't eaten well for several days. We have no strength in our bodies. How can we climb over it?"

Xie Lan's lips were pale, and there were two dark circles under his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, then took out a bag of milk tea powder wrapped tightly in silk cloth from his arms and said, "I'll go get some water."

Feng Yuanfei and others didn't understand his behavior, but they didn't question him. Instead, they quietly collected firewood and started a fire.

After spending a few days together, they have completely believed what Xie Lan said.

If it weren't for his alertness and composure, Feng Yuanfei and the other three would have been captured by the bandits long ago.

Xie Lan filled a copper kettle with water and placed it on the fire.

After the water boiled, he poured half of the milk tea powder, covered the lid, shook it well, and opened it. A fragrant milk aroma quietly spread in the cave.

Feng Yuanfei and the others widened their eyes and asked in surprise, "Brother Xie, what magical food did you bring?"

Xie Lan took the first bite and found it sweet.

He handed the canteen to Feng Yuanfei and said, "With this, we should be able to hold out for another day. Brother Yuanfei, there is no time to lose. Let's drink and continue on our way. We will try to reach Yong'an County before dark tomorrow."

Feng Yuanfei took the kettle, took a sip, and his eyes were brighter than the fire.

"So sweet! Thanks, brother. I really depended on you to save my life this time!"

Xie Lan nodded, with a hint of longing in his eyes, and said: "Not relying on me, but relying on Jiang Wan."

Having food that could replenish energy, Feng Yuanfei happily shared it with Erqiang and the other two, and did not hear clearly what Xie Lan said.

Next, Xie Lan followed the same method and brewed the remaining milk tea powder, and then brewed two pots of strong black oolong tea to refresh Feng Yuanfei and the others.

After resting for more than two hours and warming themselves up with strength, they continued on their journey down the mountain.

Xie Lan and his crew encountered unexpected events and had to escape in a panic, but Jiang Wan's life in Lushui Village was smooth sailing and quite comfortable.

After staying at home for two days, Jiang Wan waited for Wang the Hunter and Jiang Weiran to get the ginseng that Xie Lan had dug up earlier, and then took Aunt Xie and the others to Luohe Town.

Luohe Town.

This time, Jiang Wan came to the town in her own carriage, and also let Aunt Xie and the others experience the feeling of riding a carriage.

Juhua said enviously: "Mom, look at how nice the carriage of Wan'er's family is. It's convenient and warm. If our family..."

"Stop, stop, stop." Fourth Aunt Xie glanced at her and said, "What are you dreaming about? How can our family afford a carriage?"

"If you can't afford a horse-drawn carriage, you can buy an ox-drawn cart!"

Juhua pressed the issue and said, "Mom, we will be doing business in town in the future. It's inconvenient to rent a bullock cart to go home. Why don't we buy a bullock cart ourselves? We can travel faster and use the bullock to plow the fields during the busy farming season. This will help reduce the burden on Dad and Dazhu. It's the best of both worlds."
