These things have nothing to do with Shen Xingmian. His family doesn't own a single acre of land now, only the things they can carry with them in their spatial storage.

But she just couldn't help worrying.

"If only I had ten thousand mansions, I could shelter all the poor and make them smile," and "When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven"—these are words she has remembered since childhood.

For her now, the idea of ​​owning millions of mansions and achieving "Da" (a high level of success) is not far-fetched and can be easily realized.

The ideals of "providing shelter for all the poor and needy" and "benefiting all under heaven" are not only the inherited ideals of their general's mansion, but also the goals she personally wants to achieve.

When you have the ability, you'll always want to do more.

After washing her face in the river and feeling much more refreshed, she began to think about her next steps.

At their pace, they should reach the mountain range in two days at most. The weather is dry, and any traces of their journey will soon be buried by the blowing sand, so they don't need to worry too much about being tracked.

The plan was sound, but unexpectedly, it started raining heavily in the middle of the night, catching everyone off guard.

Shen Xingmian was sleeping soundly, undisturbed even by the snoring around her, when the torrential rain quickly soaked her to the bone...

By the time she regained consciousness, her clothes were already clinging to her body.

It wasn't cold, just a bit awkward. Luckily, it was dark and we couldn't see people clearly, otherwise these conservative ancient people would have been quite uncomfortable.

People were jolted awake from their dreams and quickly got up to find shelter from the rain, but they all ran towards the shade of large trees.

It was just raining, without thunder or lightning, so she didn't warn anyone not to go under the tree.

Shen Xingmian's only consolation now is that she managed to move her maternal grandfather and the young prince into the carriage, even if it's a second-hand carriage shed, the quality is far superior to that of the leaf curtains.

I finally felt a little more at ease.

However, the rain is too heavy and doesn't seem like it will stop anytime soon, so we need to find a place to take shelter.

But with so many people, where is there such a large space?

The officials probably knew, since some of them were likely traveling this road before and should know the road conditions better than the others.

Shen Xingmian then realized that she had forgotten to buy rain gear. She didn't have any raincoats or straw hats from this era, only those colorful modern umbrellas and raincoats, which were completely unusable...

The reason is that it's been sunny all the time since we arrived here, and the raincoats and straw hats take up a lot of space. We couldn't fit so many people in the carriage.

She could only temporarily cultivate a banana plant in her space, focusing her superpower on growing leaves. Just as her superpower was about to run out, she finally managed to produce enough leaves to cover her family's heads.

"Mother, quickly distribute it to everyone, we can't let them get soaked like this forever!" Shen Xingmian shouted at her mother.

There was no way to stop it; the rain was too loud, and you couldn't hear it unless you shouted.

Fortunately, her mother understood her perfectly and immediately took the banana leaves from her hand, stuffing them into each person's hands.

Everyone was curious about where they found such a big leaf. It could be used to shield their heads and protect their upper bodies, finally stopping the endless rain from streaming down their faces.

Shen Xingmian herself was dressed like that. She raised her hand to wipe the rainwater off her face, then ran to the cart and told her uncle and cousin to stop pretending and hurry up to the carriage. If they were discovered, they should say that they were carried in.

The two actors played the injured patients very conscientiously, and since they did have many external injuries that hadn't healed, no one doubted that they were actually fine.

But these external injuries are the most vulnerable to rain, as they are easily infected by bacteria.

Shen Xingmian decided that if the wounds were really infected, she would prioritize treating the two people's external injuries. Xiao Yanyue's right foot injury had already healed, so it wouldn't matter if it was delayed for a couple more days.

But his wound healed so quickly despite being so deep, didn't he suspect anything? Never mind, this isn't the time to think about these things.

Banana leaves are just leaves after all; they won't last long. We still need to find a cave or something, a dry place, to start a fire and dry them off. Otherwise, if they all catch a cold, the road will be even more difficult to travel.

Staying put was the worst option; if the officials didn't come up with a solution, she would have to move up her plans.

The line in front remained silent, but a strange noise suddenly appeared from the side and rear.

Shen Xingmian had been keeping an eye on the shadows, and as soon as she sensed something was wrong, she immediately shoved a knife into her mother's hand.

Sure enough, several men in black sprang out of the woods and rushed straight toward their carriage. It seemed they had identified their target and intended to kill them in one fell swoop.

Shen Xingmian had excellent dynamic vision and immediately drew his knife to meet the attacker.

Shen Yunting was a few steps faster than her. After all, she had practiced martial arts since childhood, and her agility was something that Shen Xingmian, a newbie, could not match.

Just as the mother and daughter were being entangled by four men in black, the other assassins also attacked the carriage. One of them raised his knife and cleaved open the carriage door, preparing to stab the person inside, but was kicked away by a foot coming from the opposite direction.

The steward had already led several guards forward and were fighting the men with their chains. Swords and chains clashed fiercely, sending sparks flying in the darkness.

As luck would have it, the prisoners were in a difficult position to fight back while in shackles, but today, the officers decided to let them go out and find their own food, so they replaced the shackles with chains.

Not only were their hands no longer bound, but they also became, to some extent, weapons of resistance.

this……

For a moment, they couldn't even tell which side the officials were on.

The four people in the carriage were all keeping a close eye on the commotion outside. After Shen Zhiheng kicked the enemy, he thought of his family outside and his blood boiled with urgency. He was about to rush out and fight the assassins to the death, but his eldest son held him back tightly.

"Father, please calm down. My sister instructed us that you must not let anyone know that you are alright!"

Shen Zheng's hoarse voice, still distorted by the voice changer, rang out irritably: "Hey Dad, what time is it? What are you afraid of? If you lie down any longer, you'll really become a corpse!"

After saying that, he ignored his father, squeezed out from the side, and took advantage of the darkness to hide in the shadows of the carriage.

His biggest worry was his mother and sister. Only after confirming their safety could he focus on observing the assassins' movements.

It's confirmed, we're here specifically for their family!

"Father, it's already a fight to the death, pretending to be dead won't work anymore! Hurry up and settle your scores, or you can stay inside and calm down while I release my grandfather!"

Shen Yunqi wasn't made of clay. After being scolded by his son, he couldn't hold back any longer. He let go of his father's hand and rushed out first.

There were already two corpses lying on the ground, both belonging to the assassins. Seeing that it wasn't too late, he immediately picked up the knife from the ground and rushed towards the man in black.
