Chapter 81: The Naughty Child Makes Trouble]
Chen Fenghe was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qin Mengyue in surprise.
Did she mean that she planned to sacrifice herself to stop the bandits so that she could escape with the children?
Chen Fenghe was somewhat touched and said softly, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. We have been exiled. If we flee, not only the bandits, but even the officials will not let us go. If they shoot us with arrows, won't we die faster? It's better for our family to stay together so that we can look after each other."
Qin Mengyue turned pale upon hearing this and burst into tears, "What...what should I do? I'll let it go, but Hao'er, Yichuan, and Xing'er are only five years old, and you..."
"Life and death are determined by fate. There's nothing we can do about it. Don't worry, Mom. I believe God won't be so blind."
Seeing how calm Chen Fenghe was despite her young age, facing life and death, Qin Mengyue couldn't help but feel ashamed. She sighed and said, "That's fine. No matter what, if there's a chance, you'll take them and escape, okay?"
The three little guys became scared after hearing this. Shen Yichuan asked, "Sister, will we really be killed by bandits?"
Chen Fenghe smiled and said, "Why are you thinking about so many things that adults should think about at such a young age? Don't worry, even if bandits come, I will protect you."
There are guns, bullets and other hot weapons in her space. Aren’t they more powerful than the ancient cold weapons such as swords, spears and arrows?
When it really comes to a critical moment, you can't care about anything else and have to use it.
At that moment, everyone took out their dry food and started eating. Some people who had no money to buy dry food ate the black steamed buns distributed by the officials.
Chen Fenghe took out the meat buns from the space. Although they were cold because she was afraid of being discovered, they were still a rare delicacy on the road of exile where people were short of food and clothing.
Shen Yichuan, Shen Qingxing, and Xiao Yunhao all devoured the food voraciously.
Shen Yichuan choked a little while eating, so he said to Shen Fenghe: "Sister, water... give me some water..."
Chen Fenghe handed him the water bag and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you in such a hurry to eat? There are still plenty of buns."
Shen Yichuan hurriedly took the water bag, opened the stopper on it, tilted his head back and drank it down with a gulp.
After drinking the water, Shen Yichuan was about to put the cork back in when his small body suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground! The water bag in his hand also fell to the ground, and the spiritual spring water inside gurgled out.
Shen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue were startled and looked up, only to see that Qin Jian's son Qin Ziming suddenly rushed over and pushed Shen Yichuan down!
Chen Fenghe's eyes couldn't help but turn cold. The Qin family really was haunting them!
She helped Shen Yichuan up while glaring coldly at Qin Ziming.
Seeing this, Qin Mengyue also said angrily: "Qin Ziming, what are you doing, kid! Yichuan didn't provoke you, why did you push him!"
Qin Ziming looked at the meat buns in Shen Qingxing and Xiao Yunhao's hands, his eyes filled with jealousy and envy. Since he was exiled, he hadn't eaten meat for a long time with the Qin family! He hadn't even eaten white flour buns many times. The best his parents bought him were multi-grain buns.
Therefore, these days, he saw from afar Shen Yichuan, Shen Qingxing and Xiao Yunhao either eating wild rabbit, drinking pheasant soup, or eating fish and wild boar meat, and he was almost envious and jealous every day.
Today, his mother gave him a cornmeal steamed bun, but he was so angry that he threw it far away. When he saw Shen Yichuan and the others eating meat buns, the aroma of the meat could be smelled from a distance, so he ran over.
Qin Ziming argued with empty words, "I...I didn't push him! I just ran over to play and bumped into him by accident!"
Qin Mengyue said angrily, "Did he bump into you by accident? You clearly pushed him on purpose! How could you be so young and yet you're full of lies? What did your parents teach you?"
Before Qin Mengyue finished speaking, Qian Qiuyun and Qin Ziming's mother Li Guihua came over together.
Qian Qiuyun said, "Qin Mengyue, what you said is so harsh! Ziming is just a little kid. He was just playing around and accidentally bumped into this little beast... It's normal for a child. How can you make it seem like Ziming did it on purpose? How can you, an adult, bully a child?"
Qin Ziming's mother, Li Guihua, also said, "Yes, there must be some misunderstanding. My Ziming would not push anyone for no reason..."
When Qin Ziming saw that all his family members had come over, he started crying instead, and complained in a wicked way: "Grandma, Mom, it was Shen Yichuan who beat me! I pushed him..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Qiuyun became even more excited and said, "Well, you heard it too. Ziming is a good boy and would never lie!"
Chen Fenghe sneered, "So, when he just said 'I pushed it', he admitted that he pushed Yichuan on purpose?"
When Qian Qiuyun heard this, she was speechless.
But he quickly started to argue: "Anyway! How can you two adults argue with a child? What does a child know..."
Shen Yichuan clenched his fist angrily and said, "Qin Ziming! I didn't hit you! You pushed me on purpose..."
Shen Fenghe ignored Qian Qiuyun's twisted logic. She leaned over and whispered a few words in the ears of Shen Yichuan, Shen Qingxing and Xiao Yunhao.
After listening to it, Shen Yichuan nodded immediately, and then suddenly rushed towards Qin Ziming!
Although Qin Ziming was much bigger than Shen Yichuan, Shen Yichuan had used up all his strength, so he was still knocked to the ground by Shen Yichuan's head!
"Ah! Shen Yichuan! You dare to hit me! I will beat you to death!" Qin Ziming shouted, swinging his fist to hit Shen Yichuan.
But at this time, Shen Qingxing and Xiao Yunhao had also rushed over, and together with Shen Yichuan, they pinned Qin Ziming to the ground so that he could not get up!
Shen Yichuan sat directly on Qin Ziming’s body, and then punched Qin Ziming’s face with his little fists one after another.
Qin Ziming was beaten so hard that he started howling like a ghost.
Qian Qiuyun and Li Guihua were horrified upon seeing this. They rushed over to help, shouting angrily, "Hey, hey! What are you doing? The three of you are ganging up on Ziming! Stop it immediately!"
Chen Fenghe had already stood in front of them and said calmly, "You just said that adults shouldn't argue with children. Aren't Yichuan and the others children too? You are adults after all, shouldn't you be more generous?"
After hearing this, Qian Qiuyun was so angry that her face turned green: "You! Chen Fenghe! You are... making perverted claims!"
