After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The first step is to land safely.

In the second step, my feet also touched the ground.

In the third step, you can feel the cold wind at your feet.

When Shen Ruoyan tentatively took the fourth step, her other foot could not find a place to land. She knew in her heart that the path close to the cliff was only three steps wide. When they jumped down just now, they did not roll to the ground. It's really a blessing to be at the foot of the cliff.

After helping Lu Yan up, Shen Ruoyan put a hand around his back and felt that his back was wet and sticky. It must have been a broken wound when he fell down just now.

After these two days of fleeing, the two of them were already in a state of embarrassment. It was impossible to bandage their wounds in such a pitch-black environment. Shen Ruoyan could only drag Lu Yan down the mountain.

The two stumbled and walked. Later, Lu Yan fell into coma again. Shen Ruoyan used all her strength to carry the person on her shoulders and took one step after another with difficulty.

She didn't go very far before she would fall down once, but after each fall, she would tenaciously get up and continue walking forward.

She gritted her teeth and walked forward step by step, with only one goal in mind:

Live it up!

She wanted Lu Yan to live!

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Shen Ruoyan felt that her knees were so cold that she lost consciousness. It must be that she fell again and again, which tore the fabric of her pants, and there was no bone in her body that was not sore.

She lowered her head and gasped for air. In the cold winter night, her forehead was covered with big beads of sweat. She was so tired, but she couldn't stop.

She doesn't want to give up, nor can she.

No matter how determined her mind was, all the muscles in her body were screaming crazily. Shen Ruoyan felt that her legs no longer belonged to her, and she felt like she wanted to cry but couldn't.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared on the horizon, and as the first ray of morning light fell on the earth, Shen Ruoyan saw rows of simple huts standing at the foot of the mountain.

It was a simple wooden house built from the ruins. The people living there should be local people in Yizhou. Maybe it was close to the mountains and forests. Their life seemed much better than those in places where they were too hungry to eat.

Tears suddenly filled the dry eyes. Maybe, they could be saved.

Shen Ruoyan took a few breaths, half pulling and half dragging Lu Yan on her back, and finally walked to the hut at the foot of the mountain.

"Hello, can you help us?" Shen Ruoyan found a morning-rising woman standing in front of her and asked her for help with difficulty.

When the woman heard the sound, she turned around and saw two men in ragged clothes walking towards her. She seemed startled and ran into the house without looking back. She slammed the door and closed the door. got up.

Shen Ruoyan had no choice but to drag Lu Yan inside again, but everyone who saw them along the way stayed away from them, as if the two of them were terrifying beasts, and no one came to help.

"Help us, or give me some hot water, I just want to drink some water." Shen Ruoyan finally couldn't hold it anymore, hugged Lu Yan and sat on the ground, her lips were so dry that there was a small crack, and her throat was burning and sore.

There were more and more people watching around, but no one came forward. Everyone's faces were full of wariness and indifference.

Shen Ruoyan knew that Yizhou was severely affected by the disaster, and she didn't expect to receive a warm reception at a time when she didn't even have enough to eat, but it was beyond her expectation that she couldn't even get a sip of hot water.

The young man in his arms was trembling slightly due to a high fever. Shen Ruoyan suddenly remembered that Lu Yan had led everyone in a large-scale evacuation before the earthquake and saved countless people. Therefore, he had a high reputation here, so she used her last strength. He said to the people around him: "He is Lu Yan, Mr. Lu. He is being chased and is about to die. Can any of you save him?"

After the words fell, the surroundings were still quiet. In the emotionless eyes of everyone, Shen Ruoyan felt a chill in her heart.

She recalled the high-spirited excitement she felt when she stayed up late to crack the ledger. She recalled that Lu Yan once told her that their goal was not only to find the money, but also to restore peace to the people of Yizhou.

Were she and Lu Yan risking their lives to help, were they just such a group of indifferent people?

In the end, they were unwilling to give out even a sip of hot water.

Good people are rewarded. Isn't that how this world should be?

No more tears could be shed from her dry eyes. She lowered her head and hugged the sleeping boy tightly. Shen Ruoyan hoped that he would never know that the person she had tried so hard to help would refuse to save him.

A pair of ordinary cloth shoes suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. The man squatted down, and the face of a middle-aged man came into Shen Ruoyan's eyes.

Shen Ruoyan blinked, feeling that he looked familiar, but she couldn't remember his name.

When the man saw Shen Ruoyan, a sincere smile broke out on his face: "It's really you, Miss Shen!"

Shen Ruoyan opened her mouth and wanted to answer, but no sound came out.

The man immediately looked at Lu Yan in Shen Ruoyan's arms, and said to the crowd around him in an even more excited voice: "It's Mr. Lu, it's really Mr. Lu!"

The people around them seemed to have been unblocked and ran over one after another, getting close to Shen Ruoyan and Lu Yan, trying to help.

A villager asked doubtfully: "Is he really Mr. Lu? I thought he was someone from somewhere else, trying to defraud us of our food."

The old woman beside him also echoed: "Yes, we kindly took in the people who escaped last time, but they actually stole all the food we had saved for the winter! How heartless! "

The middle-aged man at the head said with great certainty: "He is really Mr. Lu! I met him last year when I was in the capital. Next to him is his fiancée, Miss Shen, the direct daughter of Shen Shangshu."

"Eh? Why did these two big shots come to our village?"

"Didn't you hear what she said just now that they were being hunted?"

"Bah! Mr. Lu is the savior of all of us Yizhou people. Whoever wants to do harm to Mr. Lu, I will fight with my life!"

Shen Ruoyan could hear some causes and consequences from everyone's words.

It turned out that they didn't help immediately just now because they had been deceived before, and they became cautious after their good intentions were teased.

Moreover, it was also because Lu Yan's reputation in Yizhou was so high that none of them believed that the young man in front of them was really Lu Yan. They thought it was some liar who was using the banner of Mr. Lu to deceive others. If they didn't look so pitiful to them, , just now there were people who wanted to beat them both up to vent their anger.

Shen Ruoyan suddenly felt like she couldn't laugh or cry.
