Chapter 410: Cannon Fodder She Stole the Golden Finger of the Heroine
"Nian'er, do you feel unwell? There's a small town not far ahead. I'll go and ask the officer to take you to the clinic for treatment." Jiang's father looked at his daughter with concern, tightly grasping the few small coins in his hand. These coins were the only funds for the Jiang family of more than 40 people to settle down, but at this moment, he could no longer care about anything else and only wanted to ensure his daughter's well-being.
However, Jiang Nian shook her head stubbornly and shouted, "No! I won't see a doctor. I don't need your hypocritical attitude! Send me back to Brother Meng quickly!" Her pretty face flushed red with anger and grievance, and tears glistened in her eyes.
Hearing this, Old Madam Jiang couldn't help but frown and snorted coldly: "Hmph, as a woman, you should know etiquette. Meng Fan is your elder sister Jiang Lan's fiancé after all. You must keep a certain distance from him!" As she spoke, Old Madam Jiang raised the crutch in her hand and knocked hard on the cart under her to warn Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian became even more agitated after hearing this. She hugged her injured legs tightly, sobbing and shouting, "We are both daughters of the Jiang family, so why can this engagement only belong to Jiang Lan? You are clearly biased towards her! If it weren't for my injured leg, maybe I would be the one engaged to Brother Meng now!"
She felt increasingly distressed. If her leg couldn't be healed, and she couldn't be with her beloved, what good would it do to have a garden? A life of luxury couldn't make her happy.
Father Jiang wanted to persuade his daughter, but Su Lan spoke before him, "If you want this engagement, I will give it to you."
"Really?" Jiang Nian stopped crying and looked at the person who spoke. From the outside, she was still her "two-faced" evil sister, so why would she give up the engagement so easily?
"Of course it's true. Sister has a way to help you return to Meng Fan, and he will take you back in a grand manner to recuperate. Just wait," Su Lan looked in the direction of the army with only indifference in her eyes.
Su Lan's words successfully calmed Jiang Nian down, and the exile team resumed its forward speed.
After finally reaching the next rest stop, the exhausted soldiers distributed food to the Jiang family members as usual. Each person received a hard, tasteless steamed bun, which was better than nothing for the already starving people.
However, when it came to Jiang Nian, the situation was slightly different. Perhaps because they were afraid that this woman of special status would once again gain the favor of the major general and bring trouble upon themselves, the officers and soldiers actually gave Jiang Nian an extra white flour bun.
Su Lan, standing by, didn't seem overly concerned; she had never cared about material possessions. You see, over the past few days, Su Lan had often been able to find relatively clean water and some adequate food for the tribe. Because of this, after a few days of recuperation, everyone's complexion had improved significantly compared to when they first set out.
Jiang Nian took the white flour bun that exuded a faint wheat aroma and took a light bite. Although the taste was not delicious, it was rare at this time and place.
However, her mind wasn't entirely focused on the hard-earned food. While those around her weren't paying attention, she quietly called out to her own space. Ever since her last injury, she had been hoping for a response from her space, so she could retrieve some precious item or spiritual plant that could help her recover.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, the mysterious planting space remained motionless. Strangely, even so, Jiang Nian could still vaguely sense the space's existence, as if it had only temporarily fallen asleep.
Before the heroine could urge Su Lan to take the next step, she had already taken action. With the permission of the heavens of this world, she used her spiritual power to restore the hero's memories of his past life.
In his previous life, Meng Fan, who was ambitious and wanted to seize the planting space and ascend to the supreme throne, now found himself back to three years ago after waking up.
The gears of fate seemed to have undergone a subtle reversal at this moment. Su Lan curled the corners of her mouth and gave the two children three points to buy snacks in a good mood. After all, the fun was about to begin!
Inside the main tent, silence reigned. Suddenly, a man, who had been lying quietly on the couch with his eyes closed, opened them with a look of utter shock and disbelief. He glanced around, taking in every detail of the tent, a wave of anxiety rising in his heart—why did this all feel so familiar? Wasn't he already dead? How could he find himself here again?
Could it be... that God couldn't bear to see his tragic fate and, wanting to help him change his destiny, had granted him a precious chance to start over? This thought flashed through his mind like a flash of lightning, causing his heart to beat faster.
"Sixth Son!" Meng Fan hesitated for a moment before tentatively shouting outwards. Before he could finish his words, he heard hurried footsteps. A moment later, a soldier in bright red armor rushed into the tent.
"Major General, what's the urgent matter that requires your help?" The soldier knelt on one knee and asked respectfully.
Meng Fan stared at Liuzi before him, his mind racing. As he listened to Liuzi's report on the current situation and recent events, he secretly compared every detail of his memory. Gradually, he finally came to a realization: he had truly been reborn three years ago!
However, when he recalled Jiang Nian's injury, his brows furrowed. This was completely unexpected, a twist he hadn't foreseen. However, the ever-conceited Meng Fan quickly shifted his focus to another aspect—since Heaven had granted him the chance to live again, then the mysterious cultivation space accessible only to Jiang Nian must also be a divinely-ordained aid.
In this life, he secretly vowed to seize this rare opportunity and make Jiang Nian willingly hand over those invaluable resources, no matter what means necessary. As for how to achieve his goal, he had already begun to plan in his mind...
The next morning, Meng Fan actually came to pick up Jiang Nian with a lot of people as Su Lan said. In order to please her, each soldier was holding clothes, jewelry and cakes purchased from the city overnight.
"Niannian, it was really my fault a few days ago. I was like a possessed person and sent you back injured. Can you be magnanimous and forgive me this time?" The man said with a flattering look on his face, while deliberately putting on an affectionate look.
Meng Fan, possessing memories of his past life, was certain of Jiang Nian: naive and foolish, she would foolishly believe true love had arrived if he offered her even the slightest sweetness, like a smile. This naive, gullible nature made it easy for men to control her.
Jiang Nian nodded hurriedly, her eyes gleaming with joy. She couldn't wait to reach out to Meng Fan, signaling him to hug her and take her away from this hellish place.
When she woke up yesterday, she almost collapsed. If her sister Jiang Lan hadn't agreed to exchange marriage contracts with her, she wouldn't have stayed here and suffered so obediently.
Seeing Jiang Nian so obedient, Meng Fan smiled triumphantly, then swiftly stepped forward and easily picked her up by the waist. However, at this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly came from behind them: "Major General, please wait a moment!"
Hearing the voice, Meng Fan couldn't help but frown and cursed in his heart: "Damn it, why is this troublemaker here again!"
He turned around reluctantly, and it was indeed his good-for-nothing fiancée from his previous life—Su Lan. To be honest, Meng Fan looked down on this woman from the bottom of his heart, and even felt annoyed when he even glanced at her.
So when he saw her blocking his way, he didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned around and wanted to continue walking forward.
But Su Lan obviously did not intend to let him go easily. She flashed and quickly circled in front of Meng Fan, blocking his way.
