Chapter 4

It's going to be bad, it's going to be bad... wu wu wu...

Wang Ping'an was stunned!

Nian Yu had a reaction again.

"Brother-in-law, there's an old temple up ahead. Why don't we rest there for the night and get some sleep? Besides, I'm hungry, let's have something to eat."

Wang Ping'an didn't know why Nian Yu had a reaction.

But no matter what, this was a good thing.

He had just been thinking about how Nian Yu could bind with other people.

After all, only by binding with someone could he harvest Nian points by fulfilling their desires.

He didn't expect Nian Yu to have a reaction now.

"Could it be because of the prolonged contact with my sister-in-law?"

Wang Ping'an speculated in his mind.

He recalled the time he spent with Tang Bingyun.

At first, Nian Yu didn't react.

But as the time of contact increased, Nian Yu gradually emitted a warm aura, and then information appeared.

"Yes, it must be due to prolonged contact!"

"I've been here for several days, and the reason Nian Yu hasn't reacted is because I haven't had enough contact with people, and even when I did, it wasn't for a long time!"

He calculated that the time he had been carrying his sister-in-law was about the length of a stick of incense.

About ten minutes!

"Alright, let's rest for a bit then."

Zhu Xiaohan indeed wanted to rest.

Moreover, she considered that Wang Ping'an must be tired, seeing him drenched in sweat, which made her, as a sister-in-law, feel concerned.

A moment later, the two entered the old temple.

Wang Ping'an took out a flint from his pocket and used some dry grass from behind the house to build a small fire inside.

Soon, the flames rose, illuminating the surroundings and warming the two of them.

"Brother-in-law, have the buns."

Wang Ping'an took out some dry cakes and buns from his bag and handed the buns to her.

Zhu Xiaohan shook her head: "You've been walking the whole way, you eat. I'll just have the dry cakes!"

"How can that be?"

Wang Ping'an started to munch on the dry cakes: "These cakes are very hard, Brother-in-law, you won't be able to bite through them. Have the buns."

"But..."

Zhu Xiaohan wanted to say more but was interrupted by Wang Ping'an: "Brother-in-law, don't be polite now. Eat well and rest, it's good for your health, right?"

Wang Ping'an showed his determination as a man.

Zhu Xiaohan could only nod slightly and take the buns.

As Zhu Xiaohan ate the buns, Wang Ping'an felt a stir in his heart!

Nian Yu in his mind started to operate.

[Desire completed, Nian points +3.]

The desire to eat buns was weak, so the Nian points were not high.

This matched Wang Ping'an's expectations.

Then, after Zhu Xiaohan finished the buns, Wang Ping'an had already prepared a bed of dry grass for her.

"Brother-in-law, rest now!"

Zhu Xiaohan was indeed very tired, nodded, and lay down to rest.

Soon, Zhu Xiaohan's light snoring could be heard.

At the same time, Nian Yu's information came again.

[Desire completed, Nian points +10.]

"Phew..."

Wang Ping'an let out a sigh.

He had already gained 13 Nian points.

These Nian points would be very useful for him in the future.

Not only could they enhance his cultivation, but even if he was poisoned or injured, he could use Nian points to heal.

Even if his weapon was damaged, he could use Nian points to repair it.

The only problem now was that relying solely on his sister-in-law to harvest Nian points was too slow.

Because she always seemed to have no desires.

So, harvesting Nian points from her was like trying to shear a sheep that grows wool very slowly.

For a moment, Wang Ping'an missed Tang Bingyun.

Getting 30-40 Nian points at a time was really impressive.

In such a remote area, Wang Ping'an naturally didn't rest, he just took a brief nap.

Around midnight, Zhu Xiaohan suddenly shouted: "No, no, don't... let me go, it's going to be bad, it's going to be bad... wu wu wu..."

Wang Ping'an opened his eyes and quickly went to Zhu Xiaohan's side.

At this moment, Zhu Xiaohan woke up from a nightmare.

She grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand, her chest heaving, and cried: "Ping'an, I dreamed that the Sun family caught us, killed you, and... wu wu..."

"Brother-in-law, it's just a nightmare, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Wang Ping'an patted Zhu Xiaohan's back and said.

Just as he finished speaking, he looked down and saw that Zhu Xiaohan's face was flushed.

And his chest felt as if it was being pressed by a soft, bouncy object.

"Sorry, I overslept." Zhu Xiaohan noticed that the sky was already lightening.

It was almost dawn.

"Let's go now!"

"Okay!"

Zhu Xiaohan nodded and stood up.

But as soon as she stood up, she frowned.

Her legs were very painful from walking so much yesterday.

But she didn't say anything, gritting her teeth, preparing to endure it.

However, Wang Ping'an noticed.

[Zhu Xiaohan's Desire 1: Her feet hurt, she wants you to carry her.]

[Desire 2: She wants to get to Greenfield Village as soon as possible.]

"Brother-in-law, your legs aren't fully recovered, let me carry you."

Seeing these desires, Wang Ping'an was overjoyed.

He didn't expect to gain Nian points so early in the morning, it felt great.

As for being tired, to be honest, he wasn't tired at all!

Whenever he was tired, he just needed to spend a little Nian points to recover his strength.

But Zhu Xiaohan didn't know this. She felt embarrassed to ask Wang Ping'an to carry her again.

Just as she was about to refuse, Wang Ping'an bent down and lifted her onto his back.

"Ping'an..."

Zhu Xiaohan was stunned, and then a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

Wang Ping'an noticed that Zhu Xiaohan's affection had increased.

[Affection: 43 (Like at first sight)]

Wang Ping'an thought, if this keeps up, will Brother-in-law start to have feelings for me?

As they left the old temple, Wang Ping'an also gained Nian points.

[Desire completed, Nian points +7.]

Now, he had 20 Nian points.

...

...

Time gradually approached evening.

At this point, the water they had brought was all gone.

Fortunately, he could already see the smoke from a small village in the distance.

The houses in this small village were made of blue bricks and black tiles, the fields were lush with green, and the rice swayed in the wind, as if telling a story of a bountiful harvest.

There was a river nearby, clear to the bottom, with fish swimming freely, and occasionally, wild ducks playing in the water.

Wang Ping'an was already drenched in sweat, carrying Zhu Xiaohan to the water's edge.

After drinking some water, Wang Ping'an asked: "Brother-in-law, why did you think of coming here?"

Wang Ping'an was only worried about one thing: that the Sun family would find out their people were dead and come after them.

Would they come here?

"This is where my uncle lived. My parents died three years ago, and I got married. My uncle came to the wedding and knew where he lived. But he passed away last year. He asked the village chief to find me and said the house and land would be mine. My brother-in-law said that once things were settled, he would sell the house and land..."

"Okay, as long as no one knows about this place!"

Wang Ping'an said.

"No one knows."

"Alright, let's continue. We need to reach the village before dark."

This Greenfield Village was very remote. The Sun family wouldn't think they would escape here.

When they entered the village, someone noticed them, and the village chief came over.

"It's you." The village chief recognized Zhu Xiaohan and said with a strange expression:

"I'll take you there, but you need to be prepared. Your uncle's house is very old and has collapsed, leaving only one room. You two will have to share for a while."

The village chief had been to the Great Force Security Bureau and knew the relationship between Zhu Xiaohan and Wang Ping'an.

Although it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to share a room, there was no other choice. Wang Ping'an couldn't stay outside, as it would be very cold at night.
