Chapter 394 Finally Back Home
They thought they wouldn't be targeted as the carriage was running so fast, but unexpectedly, a leopard caught up with their carriage in the blink of an eye.
Su Tai was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"what to do?"
Shen Yi sped up, holding the reins with one hand and grabbing Su Tai's arm with the other, "You get into the carriage first, I'm still wearing a crossbow, so don't panic for now."
He doesn't want to take action until it's absolutely necessary.
Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the door handle and quickly got into the car.
It was probably her actions that irritated the leopard, and that guy actually approached the carriage, staring at Shen Yi for a while, then at the horse, as if he was weighing who to attack.
Shen Yi had an absolute intuition about wild beasts, so he immediately loosened the reins, hooked his feet tightly on the carriage, aimed at the cheetah and shot an arrow.
The cheetah howled in pain but continued to chase.
Shen Yi could only shoot the second arrow, and it took him five arrows in a row to bring the cheetah down.
After the cheetah fell, Shen Yi drove the carriage back, stabbed it again before jumping off the carriage to retrieve the arrow, and tied the cheetah to the back of the carriage.
Su Tai stuck her head out of the car window and smelled the strong smell of blood. She couldn't help frowning, "We have to leave quickly. If we leave later, we don't know what kind of wild animals will be attracted."
The horses ran very fast, and the couple finally found a large post station when it was dark.
This post station is located at the border between the Ice Field and Langya Kingdom. People traveling between the two places usually stay overnight here.
There are all kinds of people in the store, including peddlers, merchants and noblemen.
Women like Su Tai are easy to target.
Fortunately, she wore a veil in advance.
In addition, Shen Yi was carrying the cheetah, shocking everyone. The guests who were chatting and laughing in the inn hall stopped and secretly looked at Shen Yi.
Shen Yi looked very cold when he was not smiling. He threw the cheetah to the ground.
The shopkeeper hurried over carefully to entertain them.
"Sir, would you like to stay overnight or stay in the hotel?"
Shen Yi said briefly, “Stay one night, do you want to collect your things?”
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly like a chicken pecking at rice, "Take it, take it! The price we offer is definitely fair, and we will not cheat anyone."
He ignored the shopkeeper's chattering, took Su Tai's hand and went straight upstairs to the guest room.
The shopkeeper quickly called the waiter to come and help.
The people in the hall then whispered about Shen Yi's identity and the cheetah, and some people muttered about Su Tai, but they shut up after a few words, for fear that Shen Yi and Su Tai upstairs would hear them.
After a while, the shopkeeper personally went up to deliver food and handed the money from selling the cheetah to Shen Yi.
The couple finished their meal and lay down to rest, but Su Tai was worried, "Do you think it's safe here?"
Shen Yi held her in his arms, "Don't worry, we just sold a cheetah, no one will dare to mess with us tonight, have a good sleep, and we will set off back tomorrow."
Su Tai nodded obediently and fell asleep while holding Shen Yi.
After another day of hard work, they finally saw the Shenjiazhuang they had been longing for.
When the carriage just entered the village, the villagers saw that it was Chen Yi and Su Tai, and they all went crazy and chased after them asking questions.
The couple could only walk down.
On the way, he saw villagers carrying stones and bricks, and asked, "Whose house is being repaired?"
In the past two years, someone has been building a house in the village almost every month.
An old woman laughed, "It's not about building a house, it's about building a school. The village chief really went all out this time. He persuaded the four families in the village to enclose additional land for building houses. He cleared a five-acre vacant lot in the center of the village and said he wanted to build a school like your ancestral home. Now the wall has been built."
Shen Yi went over to take a look and saw that most of the men in the village were working here.
The sound is noisy.
Shen Ying saw them and walked over happily, "You're back! Look at our village school, isn't it magnificent? The day before yesterday, County Magistrate Lu came to look for you, and when he saw that you weren't back, he walked around the village twice, praising our village for its foresight and saying that this school will benefit future generations. He praised it so much that I felt embarrassed."
Shen Ying's face was beaming, and she didn't look embarrassed at all.
Shen Yi did not expose him, and said in a deep voice: "Is Lord Lu urging me to take up my post at the county government office?"
Shen Ying nodded slightly, "I guess so! The spring ploughing has just ended, and you haven't gone yet. He must come to ask about it. Go there yourself tomorrow."
"Thank you, uncle!" Shen Yi said, and hurriedly took Su Tai back.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard Lang Lang reading next door.
After the courtyard door opened, Shen Yuezhang threw himself into Su Tai's arms with joy, "Dad and Mom, you are finally back! If you hadn't come back, our family would have been torn down by our brothers and sisters."
The couple's heart skipped a beat and they rushed into the yard.
"Where are they? What did they break again?" The couple looked anxiously for the twins.
Shen Yuezhang took them to the kitchen.
As soon as he stepped in, he found two small black coal balls rushing out from inside and were picked up by Shen Yi one in each hand.
Chen Congrong chased out in a rage with a shovel in his hand, and when he saw Su Tai, Chen Yi collapsed instantly, "Dad! Mom! They... They ruined all the noodles I cooked, and they almost set the kitchen on fire!"
Su Tai was startled and finally discovered that there was smoke and fire in the kitchen.
The eldest and the second oldest were also dirty.
“Chen Yi, take them to clean up, I will handle it.”
Su Tai sent the four children away and quickly entered the water space to draw water to put out the fire.
When the smoke cleared, she walked out of the kitchen, covered in dust and looking hopeless, and started scolding the four children standing in a row in the yard.
"What's going on? Can someone explain it?"
Shen Yuezhang was the first to step forward, "Mom, I told my brothers and sisters, I'm going to do the laundry, my eldest brother volunteered to cook for us, and my younger brothers and sisters said they wanted to help."
"You said we should be diligent and not lazy." Shen Congyu argued.
Su Tai glared at him fiercely.
Shen Congyu immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Shen Yuezhang continued, "I was washing when I heard my eldest brother shouting. Just as I came out, I heard the sound of wooden stakes. I went to open the door for my parents. I didn't know what happened."
Su Tai laughed angrily, "You have cleared yourself of all charges."
As she spoke, she cast her eyes on the second son, whose chest was heaving violently with anger, "Good son, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will take care of it for you."
Shen Congyu glanced at his mother's cat-like face and pointed at the twins angrily, "These two troublesome things, they were playing with the noodles when I was burning firewood. I finally lit the firewood and ran to stop them from playing with the noodles. When I turned around, they had pulled the firewood out of the stove and were fighting with torches, knocking over my noodles, wuwuwu."
Su Tai's face looked so gloomy that water seemed to be dripping from it.
The twins were so scared that they trembled, huddled together, and asked Shen Yi for help.
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to refuse them from approaching, and said expressionlessly: “It’s too dirty, don’t touch me!”
Soon the sound of a child crying and howling could be heard from the yard.
Chu Heng, who was attending class next door, put down his book and walked out worriedly. As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Su Tai, who was in a mess, chasing the twins around the yard with a rattan stick, while Chen Yi was sitting there basking in the sun with a calm look on his face.
She greeted him calmly, "My wife is here to teach her son. Sorry to bother Mr. Chu."
