After solving the water problem, the Shen family did not leave in a hurry, but stayed where they were.
Shen Lizheng glanced sideways at the Shen family and sat down as well.
Knowing that there were robbers ahead, although there were many of them in the group, few dared to fight with them.
That's why he won't leave the Shen family now.
Moreover, he has not given up the idea of letting the Shen family return to the team.
The Shen family, not far away, was discussing the robbers.
"Girl, we have found the water. Should we go back and take that path now?" Zhang Xiangyang asked.
He had already noticed over the past few days that his aunt's family would always ask Yu'an girl about all the big and small matters.
And the girl Yu'an is indeed very capable and has her own ideas.
Shen Yuan said, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. We are all tired after traveling for such a long time. Let's rest here for a day before we continue."
Then he whispered, "I'm going to check on the robbers tonight."
"No, it's too dangerous!"
As soon as Shen Yu'an finished speaking, he was rejected by everyone.
"That's a bandit den. There's no telling how many people are in there. You're planning to go there at night. What if something happens?"
Others agreed, as they also had some blood on their hands.
But they were either unorganized refugees or the robbers we encountered today were only a few in number.
Those robbers have done countless evil things here and have killed many people. Everyone secretly thinks that it would be better to just stay away if they can avoid being involved.
"I'll be careful. I'll just find out the situation." Shen Yu'an said firmly.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, everyone knew that she would definitely go. If they didn't agree, she might even avoid them and sneak away, so they didn't try to persuade her and just told her to be careful.
Night falls.
It has been so rare for everyone to feel as comfortable as they do today in all these days.
We bought food, found water, and rested for most of the day.
But when I think about the money spent on buying food, I can't help but feel sad.
Normally, some people were arranged to keep watch, and the others went to rest.
Maybe it was because they were in the mountains, the summer heat was somewhat reduced, and everyone had a rare good sleep.
They didn't see it. After everyone had rested, a figure from the Shen family quietly left and walked down the mountain.
That person was Shen Yu'an, and she planned to take this opportunity to find out the situation.
Under the cover of night, Shen Yu'an soon arrived at the place he passed by in the morning.
The bodies of the people on the ground had disappeared, but traces of dragging could be vaguely seen on the ground.
Shen Yu'an had a cold expression as he walked along the faint traces of dragging on the ground.
Suddenly, Shen Yu'an heard someone talking, which made her stop abruptly and hide carefully.
A voice came: "The brothers who captured people today are really lucky. If I had known earlier, I would have gone out with them."
The other man obviously disagreed with his statement and retorted: "Lucky? Didn't eight of the brothers who went out today die? I think it's better to stay here and guard the gate. It's safer and someone will bring back food to eat."
Shen Yu'an listened to their conversation and obtained some information from it. The eight people that person was talking about should be the robbers they encountered.
“Tsk, I’m not talking about the eight of them. That bunch of losers didn’t even catch up with a few people, and now they are going to become food for the brothers.
I'm talking about the brothers who were blocking people on another path. They captured a lot of people today and brought back a lot of food.
I heard that the boss gave the dead brothers as a reward to the brothers who caught the person today."
The person who spoke first was still talking, and his words showed envy.
Listening to his words, Shen Yu'an's heart became colder and colder.
He means that the robbers here have started eating human flesh? ! ! !
And after their brothers died, they would be served on the table without hesitation.
Their conversation continues.
The other person couldn't help but shudder when he heard his companion's words.
The first person added, “But a few people came here a few days ago. I don’t know how lucky they were that they were valued so highly by the boss.”
"I heard about this from someone. The newcomers told the boss that a group of big fat sheep would come later. One family even had several ox carts, and the carts they pulled were also loaded full. The boss said that if the newcomers could catch those people, he would make them our third in command."
"We're really lucky." Another person said with some jealousy, but he quickly put the matter behind him and continued discussing today's 'snack' with the people around him.
"Well, next time I add more food, I'll let you try two pieces. You'll know after you eat them. They're simply the most delicious in the world. Even..."
The two were still discussing "delicious food", but Shen Yu'an could no longer listen and silently sentenced them and others to death in his heart.
This is a large wooden village with a fire burning inside and faint voices can be heard.
Shen Yu'an left quietly again. There was no one guarding the other side of the village, so Shen Yu'an easily climbed over the wall and went in.
Once inside, the sound became clearer. People inside seemed to be gathered together, and the noisy sounds continued.
She first looked around the village, got a clear understanding of the layout, and found the granary where they stored things.
There is a lot of food in there, which must have been stolen by them.
After finding another room, Shen Yu'an saw the people they had killed today, but now there were only seven bodies left.
There was a woodshed next to it, which was full of firewood. Shen Yu'an left without going in to take a look.
After coming out, she slowly walked in the direction where the sound came from.
Seeing the fire ahead, Shen Yu'an hid behind a house and carefully stuck his head out to look over there.
Looking around, there was a huge crowd of about sixty or seventy people.
They sat together with a big pot in the middle.
Shen Yu'an couldn't see clearly what was cooking in the pot, but the smell of meat wafted over.
Thinking of what he had just heard outside, Shen Yu'an instantly associated what this was.
At this time, someone came forward and stirred the contents of the pot with a large iron spoon.
Shen Yu'an finally saw what was inside. It was a hand, and the remaining meat was chopped into pieces, but he could guess what it was.
She quickly covered her mouth and smoothed her chest with one hand.
Fortunately, I didn’t eat too much at night, otherwise I would have vomited.
At the same time, Shen Yu'an looked at them as if they were dead people.
Although there is a saying that one should not advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering, they lost their original intentions not long after the famine began. Such people have long lost their moral bottom line and are not worthy of forgiveness.
