Chapter 322 Arrived at the Deserted Village
Jiang Li sighed, "What a pity! My mother is a virtuous woman. Otherwise, I would have asked her to find another man. My father is not good enough for my mother."
"Not to mention his age, he is just an old cow eating young grass. He doesn't even know how to cherish my mother. What's the point of having a white moonlight? How many women have wasted half their lives in the harem. This is a sin."
"When my brother becomes the emperor, I will control everything. Just marry the one you like. Don't let anyone become a widow. Don't be like my father. He is too rubbish. I can't tolerate that."
When everyone heard this, their eyes were dim and filled with sympathy.
With such a treacherous daughter, Emperor Ming... has a hard time living. This is just the beginning. Who knows when this daughter will get into trouble again when she gets hot-headed, and in the end, she will betray Emperor Ming again.
Seeing that they were not eating, Jiang Li tilted his head, a little confused: "What's wrong, why don't you eat? The fish will be fishy when it's cold, and it's not as delicious as when it's hot. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."
"After we finish eating, let's get going early."
"Oh, no, that's too unlucky. We should hurry on our way."
"...!!"
After eating, the group simply packed up and continued on their journey.
After an unknown amount of time, the servant outside shouted, "We are almost at the deserted village. Everyone, just take a detour to avoid it. Got it? Don't make any noise, and hurry up."
inside the carriage
When Jiang Li heard their words, his eyes lit up and he instantly became energetic. His previous listless look disappeared. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, he vaguely saw a house in front of him.
Seeing this, the honest servant said: "Don't be afraid, young lady. We will go around it later and will not stay in the deserted village. Don't worry."
No, she was worried. How could she really take a detour? She still had time to play. What was the point of playing if she took a detour? Her intuition was always accurate. There must be good stuff in there.
Jiang Li smiled kindly and pointed to the sky: "Brother, look at the weather, it has changed. Is it going to rain? Where should we stay tonight? Will it be dangerous?"
Just as the servant was about to say no, he heard a loud thunder in his ear. He was frightened and shivered. His face changed instantly and he looked up at the sky which was suddenly covered with dark clouds with a look of fear in his eyes.
Mumbling: "It was fine just now, how come it suddenly changed?"
After coming to his senses, he looked a little confused: "Girl, don't be afraid. I will go to ask Uncle Yang to see whether we should continue walking or... find a place to stop and rest."
"Okay, go get busy, big brother."
Not long after, the servant came back with a rather unhappy look on his face.
"Girl, it's getting dark soon. If it rains again, it will be very dangerous at night. I have to ask you to stay in the deserted village for a while. But don't worry, we will be guarding outside. There will be absolutely no danger."
Jiang Li looked very easy to talk to and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I understand. Safety is the most important thing. It will be more troublesome if we get caught in the rain. We will get sick."
The servant nodded and said solemnly, "Yes, then the slave will lead the carriage. We will go to the deserted village. Young lady, sit tight and go faster."
After sitting in the carriage for a while, she reached out and touched the creeper bracelet on her wrist and narrowed her eyes: "Be good creeper, be obedient, don't move around or you will be discovered. You are going to become a creeper specimen. Mother will find good things for you in that place."
The emerald green vine on her wrist slowly calmed down after hearing these words, and it wrapped around her wrist obediently, not moving anymore, just like a bracelet, and it was impossible to tell that it was a living thing.

Si Ling raised his eyelids and glanced at the carriage behind him without saying much. The others looked up at the dark clouds and thunder with strange expressions.
This cloud looks a little familiar, and this thunder also looks a little familiar, as if they have seen it somewhere. It's so strange, why do they find this thing familiar? Wait, this thing couldn't be made by that person.
Several people looked at the carriage at the back. The person inside was blocked by a curtain and they couldn't see him at all. They looked at each other in tacit understanding but said nothing.
Not long after, the group arrived at a deserted village. It was getting dark. Everyone lit torches and watched the occasional thunder and flashes of lightning in the sky in silence.
"This...what's going on? The rain won't fall anymore."
"That should be the case. It's normal to have a lot of thunder in the summer. Now that we've come to a deserted village, we can only stay here for one night. We can't walk at night, otherwise we might run into wild animals, which is unsafe."
Yang Yong, the team leader, assigned the people and warned them carefully: "You must keep a close eye on them and don't let them run around. If they encounter danger, or see something they shouldn't see and get scared, we will be in trouble."
"Uncle Yang, rest assured, we will keep it in mind."
"Well, go and protect the distinguished guest."
The group found the largest yard, tidied it up briefly, and moved everyone in. Then they withdrew and took turns guarding the yard to prevent any unexpected situations.
Several people sat around the fire. Jiang Li, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, walked around the thatched house, sniffing from time to time. He didn't smell anything unusual, but the little thing on his wrist was moving.
Jiang Li scolded in a low voice: "Climb quietly, be careful of being spotted and roasted. If you want to go out to find treasures, we can go out at night. Now be obedient, okay?"
"..."
After teaching the naughty kid a lesson, he turned around and sat back, stretching out his hands to warm himself by the fire with a smile on his face. He met their gazes and blinked his eyes with an innocent look on his face.
"Hey guys, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"
Wen Ruosheng frowned: "Why did you come here on purpose? What's your purpose? You're wasting time. I'm waiting to go back. I don't have time to waste time with you here. You must have caused the thunderclouds."
Jiang Li spread his hands, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.
"No, don't say that and slander my innocence. Wen Shengzi is really something. It's God's business when he wants to thunder. What does it have to do with me? You can't just blame me for not liking me."
"...That thundercloud looks so familiar, just like the one you saw in the competition field before. And the thunder without rain, whose ability is it if it's not yours? And you still refuse to admit it."
Wen Ruosheng looked at her warily, feeling that this person was up to something and would definitely not be so honest. Her eyelids kept twitching, and she was afraid that she would be uneasy again tonight.
Jiang Li pursed his lips and looked at him accusingly: "Humph, if you have the ability, go and pull down the thundercloud so that we can confront each other face to face. If not, don't wrongly accuse me."
"you……"
"If you cause trouble again, solve it yourself and don't involve us. You are not afraid of death, but we still want to live well. Also, don't look for Su Yan, his life is not as strong as yours."
"Oh, ok, thanks for the compliment!"
Wow, I am so lucky, this is a great blessing.
