Chapter 127 Slap her in the face!
On Green Pine Mountain
"Boss, a group of people are coming this way, and they look very dangerous!"
Xiao Fang frowned, and the scar on his face rolled up and down as he frowned, making him look fierce and terrifying.
"What do you mean by 'not easy to mess with'? Am I easy to mess with?"
The henchman hurriedly begged for mercy, explaining, "Our men said their wagons were piled high with wolf pelts, which weren't dry yet, and blood had dripped all the way. They were covered in blood too, looking like gourds of blood!"
Xiao Fang became interested.
"Anyone who dares to kill wolves must be skilled. Skilled people must be carrying good stuff. We're going to pull off another big heist!"
The more Xiao Fang thought about it, the happier he became. Recently, apart from a few poor, long-haired exiles, none of them had any money.
His Green Pine Mountain is about to become a mountain where green leaves are scarce.
"Bring your men and spread the word!"
"yes!"
~
It took two and a half hours to get out of the grassland, and finally, just before noon, we came across a lake.
They were covered in blood, which had already dried on their bodies; if they weren't washed soon, they would start to stink.
"Stop and take a break!"
"yes!"
After a morning of running, everyone was finally able to rest and couldn't wait to cheer.
The men were about to rush into the lake to wash up when Liu Yanhui dismissed them.
"If you wash it further away and make the water dirty, what water will you use to cook later?"
The men chuckled and walked away in groups into the distance.
Even when women need to wash themselves, they have to be discreet. This is also why Liu Yan Hui sent the men away.
"Young master, let me boil some water. Please use the hot water to wash yourself!"
Shen Lanxi, carrying a cloth bag, said, "No need, I'll go to a place further away to wash. You guys boil water first. I'll come back and watch over you, then you can wash!"
Just as Chunxue was about to say something, Shen Lanxi stopped her with an unyielding gesture.
"Wait!"
Shen Lanxi gathered her strength and leaped into the air, instantly turning into a black dot and disappearing!
After confirming that no one was around, he slipped into the space.
After washing up, not only was the wolf blood washed off her body, but the disguise on her face was also removed.
The woman's identity has been exposed; whether she can hide it or not is irrelevant now.
Although she didn't disguise her face, she still habitually wore men's clothing for convenience on the road!
Shen Lanxi reappeared, and everyone who passed by stared in disbelief.
What a handsome young man! Where did you come from?
How did we end up in this desolate wilderness?
Chunxue: "Young master, the water is ready!"
Everyone who heard it looked like they'd seen a ghost!
Is this handsome young man Young Master Lan? Or is he Shen Lanxi?
"You guys go wash up, I'll stay here and watch over things!"
"yes!"
An hour later, the men returned one after another, some of them good swimmers, carrying fish in their hands.
When they saw Shen Lanxi's jade-like face, they stared wide-eyed in disbelief!
Oh my god~
How could Shen Lanxi look like a fairy?
God is so unfair! How come all the best qualities are bestowed on one woman!
Compared to the shock of others, the Shen family's situation was rather ambiguous.
"Why did she show her face?" Doesn't she know what she looks like?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Madam Shen looked at her with a critical expression.
Shen Conglian said indifferently, "Whether she shows it or not, everyone already knows she's a woman anyway."
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen's critical gaze immediately shifted to Shen Congwen and his son Zhang Zifen.
"Boss, you've handled this matter terribly!"
Since being exposed from the trap, Shen Congwen has been like a wilted eggplant, looking haggard and listless!
Normally, upon hearing his mother say this, he would have rushed to explain. Now, however, he couldn't muster the will to speak at all; he felt completely drained.
“Mother, this can’t be blamed on eldest brother. It’s just that some little devils are being unruly!” Liu said, her words contradicting her own.
Old Madam Shen glared fiercely at Zhang Zifen and scolded, "Stop being such a vixen! Didn't you say you were going to die yesterday? And today you're already clinging to men. If we weren't on the road to exile, I would have had you tied up and sold off long ago!"
Zhang Zifen was so scared that she hid behind Shen Congwen, thinking that he would protect her. But Shen Congwen didn't say a word, which made her furious.
"Mother..." Zhang Zifen was about to speak when she heard Old Madam Shen say coldly.
"Second son's wife, slap her in the face!"
Liu had long disliked Zhang Zifen, so she went up and slapped her without saying a word!
"You lowly concubine, you have no right to speak when our master is speaking. I told you last time, if you dare call me mother again, I'll smash your vixen face to pieces!"
Zhang Zifen trembled violently in fright, covered her face, lowered her head, and kept shrinking back!
Grandpa Shen sighed softly and said, "Listen to your mother and grandmother, our family might have to rely on Lanxi to support us in the future. You saw it yesterday, two people died, and they were buried like two animals. Our family hasn't suffered any casualties so far, we should be satisfied!"
Old Master Shen rarely speaks, but once he does, Old Madam Shen always listens to him!
Wei Dongzhu and Liu Yanhui had both seen Shen Lanxi's true face, but the others had not.
Cheng Zheng and the others blushed deeply, too embarrassed to even lift their heads.
Shen Lanxi: "We've already entered the territory of Qingsong Mountain. After passing Qingsong Mountain and traveling another hundred miles, we'll reach the border with Dongchuan!"
She used a bamboo stick to draw a circle on Green Pine Mountain, enclosing it.
This area is very large!
"We're not sure how many men they have?"
"We know that the toll for each person is fifty taels. What do you think?"
The discussion boiled down to whether to pay up or force our way in!
Cheng Zheng wrote down in a few strokes: "Give me the money!"
Liu Yanhui pondered for a moment and said, "Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. I agree with what Lao Cheng said!"
Wei Dongzhu nodded in agreement.
Liu Laohu instinctively said, "That makes sense!"
He can skip this part!
Everyone else agreed, and it passed unanimously!
Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Yan and replied, "Count the number of people and prepare the money in advance!"
"I'll take care of it right away!" Liu Yan got up and left.
The aroma of lunch filled the air as Shen Lanxi was eating when Liu Laohu rushed over.
"I was patrolling with my men just now when I saw this dumped in the middle of the road!"
The note read: "This mountain is mine, these trees are mine, if you want to pass, leave your toll!"
Fifty taels per person!
"Put the money where you pick up the notes!"
"good!"
They had already finished eating, but because of the toll, they weren't in a hurry to go and see.
After waiting for two hours, Liu Laohu finally led his men over.
"The money has been taken!" Liu Laohu reported.
According to the unwritten rules of the underworld, once the money is received, the deal is considered done.
"Pack your things, let's go!"
It seems that crossing Qingsong Mountain is easier than they imagined.
~
"Boss, they've paid!" The henchmen carried the money box into the mountain stronghold.
Xiao Fang was stunned, his tone somewhat incredulous: "You just gave it to me like that? So easily?"
