It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

Chapter 173

Jiang Yan quickly glanced around and confirmed that the others were busy picking wild vegetables. He immediately tiptoed back to the edge of the mountain, sat down, hugged his head, leaned back, and then slid down.

The slope covered with green grass is not flat. In addition to stones of different sizes, there are also thorny leaves and roots.

It hurt so much that Jiang Yan bit her arm hard, determined not to cry out in pain from the wounds on her back and the cuts on her hands.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted about ten seconds. Jiang Yan slowly moved his limbs, which were stiff and numb due to the extreme tension, and then stood up with his hands on the ground.

Goodbye now, she thought to herself, but after taking a few steps, she suddenly felt uneasy.

“Ah——————” A sharp and rapid scream suddenly rang out in the mountains, followed by a shout: “Get out of the way! Help me! Jiang Yan!!!”

Someone actually knew his real name? Jiang Yan subconsciously looked up, only able to curse before he was tackled and sent flying.

Before she fell into the water and fainted, her mind was filled with complicated thoughts, but only one remained: she must not be drowned.

When the yamen runners heard the screams, they ran over quickly and found that two people were missing.

Hong, the yamen runner, walked straight to the edge of the mountain and looked out, and found a man half-lying on the mountainside with his legs hanging in the air, his hands tightly grasping the weeds on his sides.

After discussing whether to save her or not, the yamen runners decided to send one person down to interrogate her. If she had done anything shameful, there was no need to waste effort and they could just let her stay there.

About half an hour later, the yamen runner who had descended the mountainside climbed back up and shared his confession. After listening to it, Yamen Runner Hong sighed, "It's really hard to predict God's will..."

The person who knocked Jiang Yan away was a relatively strong woman. The experiences of the past two days made her realize that although Jiang Yan was weak, she knew a lot. For example, she could guess the bad intentions of the government officials better than the yamen runners who were guarding them.

For some reason, the old lady had been secretly paying attention to Jiang Yan's words and actions, so when she saw Jiang Yan sneaking away, she followed him without much hesitation.

But her eyesight was not very good, and she did not see clearly where Jiang Yan slid down from. She thought that it was all slopes and grass, so she just needed to find a place to go down.

But he never expected that he couldn't slow down even when he was almost to the bottom, and he bumped into Jiang Yan who was walking below.

The old lady was a little annoyed when she talked about this. She was called by someone, so why didn't she dodge away?

If Jiang Yan had known, she would have argued loudly. When she heard the voice and saw the person again, she was only four or five meters away. She chose the steepest slope, sliding down at an incredible speed. Her fever had just subsided, and her body couldn't keep up with her mind. She had no time to avoid it.

Besides, she had been using a pseudonym for so many days. How could she not be panicked when someone suddenly called her real name?

The yamen runner also asked this question: "The Jiang Yan you called is her, right? Isn't her name Chuncao?"

The old lady looked at the yamen runners and asked them to help drag her in, as she felt the grass under her hands could not hold on any longer.

"She was delirious with fever two nights ago and was disturbing everyone's sleep. I quietly called her name to calm her down, but she replied that she had the wrong person and her name was Jiang Yan."

Jiang Yan never thought that her real name would be revealed in this way. She woke up in the water, held on for a long time, and swam along the current for an unknown distance before she finally reached the shore.

Worried that there were wild animals on the shore and it was unsafe, he stumbled to the nearest tree, used up his last bit of strength to hang on to it, and then he fainted.
