Chapter 190 A life-threatening escape

After Shen Yunyue finished speaking, she casually glanced at He Luxue who was peeking at her, and the corners of her mouth curled up.

She walked towards the villagers selling bamboo stools.

Old Madam He Er was so angry that her mouth was shaking.

He moved his lips, but in the end, no words came out.

Pointing at Shen Yunyue's trembling hand, she placed it on her chest and rubbed it several times before she let out a breath.

He took several deep breaths.

"Oh, sooner or later I'm going to be pissed off to death by this bitch."

Shen Yunyue moved her ears, picked up a small stone with her toes and threw it over.

Mrs. He Er's knees went weak and she fell to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts so much."

Shen Yunyue covered her mouth, raised her eyebrows and laughed:

"Second Madam, who are you confessing to?"

Her eyes flickered, revealing a cunning glint. "Second Madam, do you know that there are many mountain gods in the mountains? Did you offend a mountain god with such a wicked heart?"

After a pause, he said slowly:

"It's no big deal if we bump into each other. The Second Old Lady's evil spirit can suppress it."

The commotion here attracted many people.

He Luxue has been harassed by the He family these days, and they managed to trick her out of the money she had by using a combination of coaxing and intimidation.

There was malice in her eyes, and for the first time she was happy that Shen Yunyue was dealing with Old Madam He Er.

Step back a few steps, find a big tree to lean against, close your eyes and relax.

Thinking of Shen Yunyue's head, he felt timid and did not dare to confront Shen Yunyue head-on.

I should find an opportunity to go to Shihan County and meet some local gentry before making any plans.

Madam He Er sat down on the ground and rubbed her kneecaps. She opened her mouth and cursed:

"Shen Yunyue, you damn bitch. I knew it must be you. What kind of mountain god are you using to deceive an old woman like me?"

Shen Yunyue smiled faintly.

"Old bitch. If it were me, would you still dare to curse like that? Do you want to open your mouth like Fengbu, or like the young wife of the Pei family?"

"Are you saying that I plotted against you?"

Shen Yunyue still smiled sweetly, but it made Old Madam He Er shiver inexplicably.

She touched her lips, pursed her lips and remained silent.

"Your mouth is for eating. If it's too annoying, it's better to sew it up." Shen Yunyue glanced sideways coldly and arrogantly at the He family members who were looking at each other in confusion.

He snorted coldly and turned to leave.

Madam He Er tried to climb up several times but couldn't get up. Her knee was swollen. She gnashed her teeth and hated Shen Yunyue in her heart.

My strength doesn’t allow it, so I can only curse in my heart.

It's so pitiful.

The commotion here naturally caught the attention of the Baijia Village craftsmen who sold bamboo weaving.

The old man forgot to talk to the head of the Lu family. His hands and feet were shaking. He thought to himself: Don't come over here.

He was afraid that he would say something wrong and be sewn up by this angel-looking girl.

But.

Shen Yunyue walked to his cart and stopped.

Shen Yunyue looked at the bamboo stools, bamboo baskets and other items on the cart. They were intricately woven and simple in design. She felt a little happy in her heart.

"Old man, how much are these for?"

Shen Yunyue's pleasant expression was completely different from the one she had just said she wanted to sew her mouth together.

The old man quickly retracted his thoughts, and said with full energy:

"How much coppers would you like to give, young lady?"

Patriarch Lu:……

Mr. Lu: .... So after talking about the price for a long time, it’s not as good as Shen Yatou’s bluffing?

Shen Yunyue: .... Baijia Village emphasizes free-to-follow sales?

"Old man, we just arrived here and don't know the prices in Yongning Town. What price do you sell it to others?"

The old man was a little scared and looked at Mr. Lu twice more.

Mr. Lu grinned:

"Old man, why are you looking at me? I bargained with you and you refused to sell. Why are you looking at me now?"

The old man smiled and said:

"I'm not selling it because the price is really cheap. Then I'll give you a few more stools that have been sitting at home for a long time?"

After hearing this, Shen Yunyue still had something to understand.

This man was frightened by her.

"Grandpa Lu, what are you buying?" Shen Yunyue chuckled.

Mr. Lu replied unhappily:

"This old man has been intimidated by you. Hey, our family needs to buy a lot of things. I'm thinking of just pre-ordering more."

"But, are you buying a bed?" Mr. Lu asked again.

"Let's buy some for grandparents." Shen Yunyue thought carefully before slowly replying, "Everyone else uses mats. We won't be able to live in the bamboo house for long anyway."

Patriarch Lu stroked his sparse beard. After a long pause, he smacked his lips.

"We are the same as the Shen family."

"Okay." Mr. Lu counted the money and hurried down.

After a pause, he looked at the old man and said:

"Old man, our two families need a lot of things. Don't even think about the retail price in town."

The old man agreed readily, fearing to offend Shen Yunyue. He smiled with wrinkles on his face and said:

"Okay, I'll follow the price you mentioned."

The old man calculated what the two families wanted and was delighted to sell off all his inventory.

I also have to ask my nephews and sons-in-law to come and help with the work.

Shen Yunyue and Old Man Lu discussed the things together. She knew that the things were in the space but she couldn't take them out.

After all, the space is all made of wood.

Some of them are quite valuable, so I will slowly trade them in after I build the real house.

After deciding on everything, I also ordered a few bamboo cabinets and bamboo wardrobes.

The old man was confused by what he heard.

"Bamboo wardrobe?" What kind of wardrobe do country people need?

They are all big wooden boxes for storing things. Every girl would bring two big wooden boxes as a dowry when she gets married.

That's all a style that makes girls proud.

"Bamboo wardrobe. I'll draw it for you." Shen Yunyue turned around, lifted her skirt, and trotted towards home.

Fu Xuanheng and several others carried bamboos and piled them on the open space.

About ten women went to cut some straw and spread it out in the sun to dry.

"Let's dry this thatch before we build a bamboo house. It's both draft-proof and warm. We need to cut more."

Grandma Chen San instructed the woman to cut the thatch.

"Third Auntie, call two more people to help us cut thatch. It takes time to cut thatch alone."

"Okay, call Gouduo's wife and Dachui's wife over." Grandma Chen straightened up and called Li Gouduo's wife and Chen Dachui's wife to go to the foot of the mountain to cut thatch.

"My dear wife, go to the west. There they have dry thatch, which is the best for making bamboo houses."

"Third Auntie, I understand."

The foot of the mountain in Baijia Village has never been so lively.

Shen Yunyue looked around and made arrangements at any time.

At a glance, she saw a lot of shepherd's purse on the ground, some of which looked fresh. Shen Yunyue called Erniu over, "Erniu. Come and pick shepherd's purse with me."

Erniu squatted on the ground and took a look.

"Miss Yue, isn't this just grass?"

"Yes, it's a wild vegetable. I'll make shepherd's purse dumplings later. I guarantee that your tongue will fall off after eating them." Shen Yunyue really likes the wild vegetable in early spring.

Every early spring.

They all go to the suburbs to look for various wild vegetables to try. When Shen Yunyue was selecting wild vegetables.

The monkey is running away for his life.

He covered his wound and ran towards Baijia Village. He and two escorts took the horses and found a place at the foot of the mountain to wait for Peng Scarface and the others to return.

Who would have thought about the next day.

We encountered a merchant caravan from the Nanli Kingdom. Although they looked like merchants, they all practiced martial arts.

One of the merchants recognized the marks left by the Nanli people on the horse.

These people immediately pulled out their machetes and started slashing around.

The monkey was very alert and when he saw that something was wrong he quickly got on his horse and ran away.

The two companions were hacked to death by the merchants from Nanli Kingdom before they could even take out their knives.

The people of Nanli have a strong sense of revenge.

A dozen people were immediately arranged to chase the monkey.

The monkeys did not dare to run towards the main road or the county town, but only fled towards Baijia Village along the foot of Taiping Mountain.

He thought he could meet Peng Scarface and his men.

Little did they know that Peng Scarface and the others did not walk along the foot of the mountain.

The horse under Monkey's crotch could no longer run, having been stabbed in the buttocks by a sword. Feeling distressed, he jumped off the horse and patted its neck.

"Old man, run for your life. Maybe you'll meet someone kind enough to save you."

The horse seemed to understand the monkey's words, and rubbed its big head against the monkey's head, neighing sadly.

"Let's go."

The monkey heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.

He ran towards the forest with a cruel heart, then turned around and saw his horse running quickly in another direction.

This human-like horse bought him time to escape.

The monkey wiped away his tears and jumped onto the tree trunk.

He followed the branches and jumped onto another tree. He didn't dare to stop, using his agile climbing skills to use the towering trees to quickly move towards Baijia Village.

Outside the woods, a dozen people stopped.

"Where is the official from the Great Zhou?"

"No. I saw the horse's hooves heading towards the town."

The leading man, dressed in black, narrowed his eyes, a sinister expression on his fierce face. Noticing the leaves beside the trees differing from those on the side, he rubbed his goatee and grinned, saying,

"Arrange two people to go to the town and check if there are any exiles recently?"

"The rest of you go into the forest. Hahaha, people from Nanli Country naturally like dangerous mountains and forests. This little thing thinks it can escape from the tiger's mouth? Hahahaha..."

The hideous laughter scared away the birds in the woods.

Without saying a word, the others dismounted from their horses and flew into the forest.

When Monkey heard the ferocious laughter, he took out the golden medicine given to him by Shen Yunyue from his arms.

I unscrewed the bottle cap, poured some powder, and pressed it onto his shoulder. Biting my lip, my vision went dark. I kept saying to myself, "Monkey. You can't just collapse like this. You have to stay alive."

He gritted his teeth, looked at the blood on his palm, and continued to concentrate and jump to the next tree.

There are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests.

The monkey didn't dare to run down the tree and could only keep moving forward along the trunk.

In Baijia Village not far away.

Several women from the Shen family were called back by Shen Yunyue.

"Second Aunt, Mother, please come back quickly. I picked a lot of wild vegetables. We'll make some dumplings for lunch."

When a villager heard this, he hurriedly tried to persuade them:

"Miss Shen, there are some small green vegetables growing in my vegetable garden. Shepherd's purse tastes a bit bitter, and it's something we only think of when we have no vegetables to eat and we have to make ends meet."

"No. Shepherd's purse is delicious."

Shen Yunyue replied with a smile.

"How can that thing be delicious? We have lived at the foot of the mountain for generations. If it was really delicious, it would have been eaten up long ago." Grandma Chen San also smacked her lips and said.

Mo Yiran and the others didn't quite understand.

There are plenty of fruits and vegetables to eat in the capital, and I have never eaten any wild vegetables.

"Yunyue. How about we go buy a few pounds of vegetables?" Liu Xiaoyun also hesitated.
