Jiang Wan saw the few people愣在那儿不动, and couldn't help but wrinkle her small, chubby face into a little bun: "Dad, Mom, brothers, are you hurt?"
She didn't know if her special ability could still be used. If it could, it would be great for healing.
In her past life, she relied on her special ability, which could control the growth of plants and animals and also heal people, to thrive in the apocalypse.
She hoped her special ability had also transmigrated with her, so she could continue to live a prosperous life!
Just as she was about to try to activate her special ability, she was pulled into Chen Yuezhi's embrace.
"My Wanwan! Mom knew you would get better someday. Heaven has opened its eyes, and you've finally recovered."
After the three brothers snapped back to reality, they couldn't help but clap their hands and laugh: "Great, little sister is better, our little sister is fine!"
Jiang Pan's eyes also turned red. He reached out, wanting to hug Jiang Wan, but restrained himself and put his hand down, repeatedly saying, "Good, that's great, it's really great."
Jiang Wan was pressed against Chen Yuezhi's chest, almost suffocating.
It was Jiang Pan who came to her rescue, "Wanwan's mother, it's getting late, let's go home first."
Old Madam Wang hurriedly shouted, "You can't take her away, I bought her."
It was better if she hadn't mentioned this. As soon as she did, the Jiang family's anger flared up again. The three brothers picked up their hoes, looking ready to charge at any moment.
Jiang Pan, with a dark expression, walked to Jiang Lao Er, who was still lying on the ground, and kicked him: "Where are the things? Hand them over quickly, or I'll beat you to death today and clean house for the Jiang family!"
Jiang Lao Er cried out in pain from the kick, but he tightly protected the two bags of millet, "Big brother, the family is already out of food. Jiaqing and the others cry from hunger all day. I can't take out this millet! We can't starve the whole family for just your daughter!"
Jiang Pan was so angry that he bent down and slapped Jiang Lao Er across the face: "Beast! That's your niece! You can eat the grain exchanged for her? After those two bags of millet are gone, will you abduct others in the family to sell? How did the Jiang family raise such a scoundrel like you!"
Jiang Lao Er remained silent, but his expression was full of defiance.
Jiang Pan, too lazy to argue with him, snatched the millet and threw it to Old Madam Wang: "The goods are here. If you dare to babble again, I'll beat all of you to death and throw you into the mountains today! Anyway, in this chaotic world, the government won't care if a few people die. You can try it if you don't believe me!"
Old Madam Wang was very angry. In their line of work, they had never encountered such a situation. If they didn't get their revenge after suffering such a great loss this time, how could they do business in the future?
However, given the current situation, she had no choice but to back down. If this family really decided to act ruthlessly, none of them would be able to escape.
So Old Madam Wang endured it.
Seeing that Old Madam Wang dared not look him in the eye, Jiang Pan nodded with satisfaction and turned to Jiang Wan, saying, "Let's go, daughter, let's go home."
Jiang Dalang, Jiang Jia'an, ran over, eager to carry Jiang Wan: "Wanwan, do you know who I am? Shall big brother carry you?"
Second son Jiang Jiasheng also came closer: "Wanwan, I'm second brother, do you remember me?"
Third son Jiang Jiacheng gave the two of them a glare: "Look at the questions you're asking! Who are you looking down on! Wanwan, come here, third brother will carry you."
Jiang Pan glared at them sternly: "Go away, you clumsy things, don't drop Wanwan. Come, daughter, Daddy will carry you."
Saying that, he lifted Jiang Wan and placed her on his shoulder.
Jiang Wan had never sat on someone's shoulder before in her life. She was a little unaccustomed to it and quickly reached out to hold onto Jiang Pan's head to keep her balance. Her nervous little appearance made people find her incredibly endearing.
The three Jiang brothers were envious and kept negotiating with Jiang Pan, "Dad, when you get tired, give Wanwan to me. I promise I won't drop her."
Jiang Wan looked at her brothers surrounding her and couldn't help but smile.
So, this was what it felt like to have parents and family.
She had no parents or relatives. Most children born in the apocalypse were considered burdens, abandoned, and abused.
She was lucky to be adopted by a strong person from the base. When she was a little over two years old, her special ability was discovered, and she was specially trained by the base. Later, with her increasingly powerful special ability, she lived a comfortable life.
The original owner of this body was the youngest daughter of the Jiang family's eldest branch, with three older brothers and one older sister above her. Although she was a痴儿 who couldn't even speak, the Jiang couple and her older brothers and sisters doted on her immensely. Even in this famine, when they managed to find some food, they would put it in her mouth first.
The thought that these parents and siblings would belong to her from now on made her lips curl upwards involuntarily.
However, upon seeing her surroundings, Jiang Wan's chubby little face couldn't help but wrinkle into a little bun.
As far as she could see, everything was desolate. The plants drooped their heads listlessly, the ground was cracked with openings more than a foot wide, and the farmland was full of withered yellow weeds.
The original owner was a痴儿 and didn't remember much. She only remembered that it hadn't rained for a long time, and the children of her second and third uncles always glared at her because they were hungry.
It seemed that the living resources here were not much better than in the apocalypse.
Just then, the cry of a pheasant came from the woods in the distance.
Jiang Pan's eyes lit up when he heard the sound. He reached out to support Jiang Wan and took her down from his shoulder: "Wanwan, you and your mother wait here. Dad will take the brothers to catch a pheasant for you! You were frightened today, you need to replenish your strength."
Jiang Wan immediately wanted to go when she heard about catching a pheasant. She wanted to see if her special ability was still there.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yuezhi grabbed her: "Wanwan, you can't run around. Just wait here, your father and the others will be back soon."
Jiang Wan quickly found an excuse, "Mom, I... I need to pee!"
Chen Yuezhi immediately wanted to help her take off her pants when she heard this, scaring Jiang Wan's little chubby hands to tightly hold onto her waistband.
"Mom, not here! Second uncle is behind us!"
Seeing her resistance, Chen Yuezhi couldn't help but laugh: "You little girl, you actually know how to be shy. Alright, Mom will take you behind the tree."
Jiang Wan quickly shook her head: "I'll go by myself! I can do it! Mom, you're not allowed to peek!"
After saying that, she ran away like a gust of wind, afraid that Chen Yuezhi would follow.
Chen Yuezhi laughed heartily and didn't move from her spot. Her daughter was better, and her lively and agile appearance made her laugh and then want to cry.
Jiang Wan ran behind the tree, making sure Chen Yuezhi couldn't see her, and then calmed herself down to try to activate her special ability as in her past life.
At first, she felt a void in her body, nothing. But after waiting patiently for a while, she felt a familiar energy fluctuation. However, this fluctuation, compared to the surging waves of her past life, was merely a trickle.
But it was enough to deal with a pheasant!
Coincidentally, the pheasant, being chased by Jiang Pan and his sons, rushed towards her.
Jiang Wan sent a burst of her special ability, and the pheasant flew towards her uncontrollably. She bent down and pressed it down, channeling the last bit of her special ability into the pheasant's body. The pheasant visibly grew larger at an alarming rate.
As soon as her special ability was depleted, the pheasant struggled to escape. Jiang Wan quickly grabbed its wings with her two chubby hands and lifted it up.
"Dad, Mom, I caught a pheasant, we have meat to eat!"
