Chapter 103: Escape
Chen Fenghe picked up the bow and arrow of one of the officers and shot three arrows, each of which hit the wild boar's head!
The three wild boars' huge bodies shook for a moment, and then they all fell to the ground and died!
Chen Wu and the others were still in shock and looked at Chen Fenghe in astonishment.
They were... saved by Miss Shen again!
The Qin family escaped death, but the first thing they thought of when they saw Chen Fenghe was not gratitude, but why was she not dead yet?
However, Chen Fenghe didn't care about the Qin family's thoughts. If it wasn't for saving herself and saving Chen Wu and Yuan Xun, she wouldn't even bother to save the Qin family alone, as they had been killed several times by officers and soldiers.
Chen Wu and Yuan Xun came down from the tree.
Yuan Xun rushed over and slapped the young man who had suddenly rushed out twice, cursing, "You're looking for death yourself, and you're dragging everyone else down with you?"
The officer was slapped twice, but he still refused to accept it. He stiffened his neck and said, "I... I just wanted to save Brother Yong!"
Yuan Xun was so angry that he kicked him to the ground and sneered: "Haha! So you are the only one who is so brave and heroic, while the boss and I are cowards? Why don't you just go to heaven?"
The officer didn't dare to speak anymore.
Li Yong and several other officers stepped forward and said shamefully, "Boss, Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, it was our fault..."
Chen Wu said seriously: "Yuan Xun, forget it. Fortunately, there is Miss Shen, otherwise we would all die here today! Those officers and soldiers have escaped, and I am afraid that they will soon attract a large number of officers and soldiers. Let's get down the mountain quickly!"
Chen Fenghe said, "Master Chen, there is a shortcut from here that leads directly to the bottom of the mountain. However, the road is quite rugged and a bit dangerous, but the officers and soldiers probably don't know about it."
Chen Wu pondered for a moment and said, “Please lead the way, Miss Shen.”
If they were caught by the soldiers now, they would be dead! So, no matter how rugged the mountain road was, they had to go!
An officer asked, "Boss, what should we do with these three wild boars?"
How can you care about the wild boar while escaping?
However, the exiled prisoners had suffered a lot, and all the silver and money on them had been searched and taken away by Luo Yan and his men. It would be a pity to just throw away three such fat wild boars. If they carried them down the mountain and sold them, they could earn a few copper coins!
So he said, "Sir, we are willing to help carry these three wild boars down the mountain. We know that they were killed by Miss Shen. Once we get down the mountain, we dare not eat them all by ourselves. As long as you can give us one wild boar, the remaining two will still belong to you and Miss Shen. Is that okay with you?"
Chen Fenghe originally planned to wait until everyone left before returning to reclaim the space. After all, she couldn't let those bandit-suppressing officers and soldiers get away with it.
However, if you want to put it into the space and then take it out again, you have to find a reason.
Now hearing what these people said, she was happy to do a favor and agreed.
Seeing that Shen Fenghe agreed, Chen Wu naturally had nothing to say.
Immediately, several strong prisoners came out and lifted up the three wild boars. Led by Shen Fenghe, they walked through the bushes and went down the mountain along the secret passage.
Fortunately, there were no dangers along the way and everyone successfully returned to the official road.
However, this place was still at the foot of Black Wind Mountain, so Chen Wu and the others did not dare to stop and continued on their journey without stopping. It was not until they reached the intersection with another official road that they saw other pedestrians on the road.
Chen Wu breathed a sigh of relief. There were other passers-by watching him, and he still had official documents on him. The officers and soldiers who were suppressing the bandits could no longer blatantly kill them as bandits!
Chen Wu saw a teahouse in front of him and said, "Let's take a rest here."
When the waiter saw the officials coming in with a group of people, he knew they were escorting the exiled prisoners. He hurried over attentively, wiped the table with the towel on his shoulder, and asked timidly, "What kind of tea would you like, gentlemen? We have some snacks to fill your stomach. Would you like any?"
Everyone was captured and taken up the mountain, and then trudged all the way down to escape. They were already exhausted, and when they heard the waiter say there was food, their eyes lit up.
"Waiter, what food do you have here?" Chen Wu also swallowed and asked.
The waiter smiled and said, "Sir, you've asked the right question. Our shop serves multi-grain noodles with oil, sliced noodles, hot multi-grain steamed buns, cold-cut mutton, and our snacks are mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes."
The names of these dishes were originally ordinary, but when people were hungry, they could not help but almost drool just by hearing the names of the dishes announced.
However, there is a very realistic problem: they have no money.
The money was taken away by the bandits disguised as Luo Yan...
Chen Wu glanced at the three wild boars on the ground and stepped forward to ask Shen Fenghe, "Mrs. Shen, we are penniless now. You hunted these three wild boars. One was promised to the person who brought the wild boar down the mountain. Could you spare part of one of the other two wild boars as money?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fenghe immediately said, "Master Chen, although I hunted this wild boar, I am still a criminal. It is your decision as to how to deal with it. I was also planning to discuss this with you. Regarding the remaining two, I would like to keep one for some money and give the other to you. Is that feasible?"
After hearing this, Chen Wu's respect for Shen Fenghe grew even stronger. He said, "Ms. Shen is so righteous! You hunted these three animals, so they should belong to you. Since you are willing to give us one of them, why wouldn't we agree?"
He turned to the waiter and said, "Waiter, I'll give you a wild boar leg in exchange for spicy oil noodles for the twenty or thirty of us, a steamed bun for each person, and a pot of ordinary tea for each table. Also, I'll give you a plate of cold-cut lamb for these two tables and that one, and a plate of mung bean cakes for that table. Are you willing?"
The table Chen Wu was referring to was naturally the one where Chen Fenghe, Qin Mengyue, and the three little ones were sitting. The mung bean cakes were for the three little kids.
As for the other tables, they were lucky enough to be able to eat noodles with oil and steamed buns, and of course they were not given any mutton.
The waiter took a look at the three wild boars, which were big and fat. How could it be a bad deal to exchange one of their legs for twenty or thirty bowls of multi-grain noodles and steamed buns and two plates of mutton?
Besides, let's be frank, none of the officials who greeted and received the guests would trade wild boar legs for food like they did today? They would just eat their fill and leave.
He nodded quickly, his brows beaming with joy as he said, "Sir, of course I can! I'll have the kitchen prepare it right away!"
While waiting for the teahouse to prepare the food, Chen Fenghe saw Jiang Shuo - or should it be called Xiao Yunshuo, and Yuan Xu also walked over from a distance and sat down at another empty table in the teahouse.
The two men were obviously disguised, with beards glued on their faces and hats on their heads. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell them apart.
"Waiter, bring me two bowls of knife-cut noodles and two pounds of freshly cut mutton. And a pot of tea!" Yuan Xu shouted after the two sat down.
Xiao Yunshuo suddenly raised his sleeves, covered his mouth and nose, and coughed softly.
"Young Master..." Yuan Xu asked worriedly.
Xiao Yunshuo waved his hand and said calmly: "It's okay..."
At the same time, he naturally covered up the blood on his palm so that Yuan Xu would not notice.
However, even without looking, Shen Fenghe knew that he must have vomited blood.
