"Don't worry about it, just tell me if I'm better than you!"
"Mmmmm, Ah Li is amazing!"
Shen Yuanzhou held a bird's egg in his hand and asked with a bit of doubt: "Little sister, your bird's egg feels a bit big to me? It doesn't look like a bird's egg!"
Chen Li blinked her eyes. "Then what was found in the bird's nest, if it wasn't bird eggs, what could it be?"
“Yes!”
He successfully led his third brother into the ditch.
"Let's go and have a snack tonight."
"Okay, the ones I found are already grilled. You can try them later."
"Uh-huh."
Seeing the brother and sister both walking towards her with smiles on their faces, Lin Cuicui asked, "What good thing happened?"
Chen Li put the bird eggs in a basket and brought it to Lin Cuicui, like offering a treasure. "Ding ding, mother, I'll have a snack tonight. Let's have bird egg pancakes."
"Wow, so many bird eggs!"
Lin Cuicui took it with a smile on her face, "Okay, let's add a pancake to dinner."
The families nearby saw Chen Li finding so many bird eggs and wondered why they didn’t have such good luck.
However, it was getting dark, so they did not go into the woods to make trouble. Besides, Chen Li had taken out so many bird eggs, maybe they were all gone.
Chen Li ate the soft and delicious egg and vegetable pancake and nodded with satisfaction. Since there were many people in the family, Lin Cuicui added a little more flour and vegetables so that everyone could have enough.
Chen Li picked up the roasted bird eggs given by her third brother and ate them one by one. You know what, they smelled really good!
The next morning, the team set off at dawn again. On the way, they met refugees in groups of three or four. They had no food and wanted to go into the mountains to try their luck and see if they could find food.
Therefore, just on this section of the road leading into the mountains, you can occasionally see bodies lying on the roadside.
Everyone has gotten used to it, and every time they see it from a distance, they will speed up and move away from this place.
…
Over there, Pei Yu and his group were followed by a group of killers and entered the mountains. After entering the forest, they quickly got rid of the people following them.
Tianqing knelt in front of his master, apologizing for his crime, and he wished he could bury his head in the ground.
"What's going on?"
"Master, the previous group of killers has indeed been dealt with."
Tianqing muttered to himself, it is not that easy for the master to snatch food from the tiger's mouth. The killer behind him is like a dog, sniffing the scent and chasing after him.
Pei Yu raised his pretty eyebrows. Who sent the killer behind him?
Two faces flashed through Pei Yu's mind. Both of them were possible, so who could it be?
"Where is Mo Bai?"
"Master, according to the original plan, Mo Bai should have arrived in Xuzhou by now, and the assassins behind him have all been annihilated."
"Well, let's go, what we are looking for is in this mountain."
"yes."
The two men used light attacks and moved quickly through the forest.
In order to get rid of the killers behind them, they even abandoned their horses, so now they had to travel on foot.
…
"Ali, big brother, fourth brother, when do you think we can see big green trees?"
All he had seen recently were withered plants and cracked earth, and he felt that he urgently needed something green to refresh his eyes.
Shen Qi'an pointed to the forest in front and said, "Third brother, look over there. Look farther and look as long as you want."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanzhou actually squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
"Third brother, can you see it?"
"It's okay, but it's still a bit far and quite straining on the eyes."
Chen Li held her forehead. Fourth brother was so obviously fooling Third brother, yet Third brother believed him. Really...
He casually stuffed a piece of dried meat into the third brother's mouth and said, "With our speed, we will be there in a few days, and we will be able to see it then."
Shen Yuanzhou chewed the dried meat and blinked his sore eyes. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have been fooled by the fourth brother again!
Seeing that the tips of his third brother's ears were red, he must have reacted. The way he chewed the dried meat fiercely was as if he was biting the flesh of his fourth brother.
Seeing a group of people with cows, mules and horses, many people on the mountain road were tempted, but when they saw the long swords placed beside them, they silently gave up the idea.
The last time we encountered bandits blocking the road at the bend, we wiped out all those people, picked up all their weapons, and distributed them to everyone for self-defense.
The Shen family also received several, all of which were hung outside to deter refugees.
They stopped to rest when it got dark. Now they were very close to the green area in the center of the mountain and estimated that they would arrive there at noon tomorrow.
Shen Zhenyuan, Doctor Liu and others all breathed a sigh of relief, especially Shen Erhe. He had been saving water very much in the past few days, fearing that he would not be able to get there with his wife and children.
Although it was a little early for them to relax, they now have hope.
Chen Li and Shen Jingyuan tied the horses to a tree when they suddenly heard a rustling sound in the grass over there.
The brother and sister looked at each other and immediately slowed down their movements. Shen Jingyuan squatted down, picked up a few small stones, and stuffed two into Shen Li's hands.
Shen Jingyuan threw a stone into the grass, and two pheasants with bright feathers were frightened and flew out.
The brother and sister each aimed at one, and the small stones in their hands flew out with a "whoosh", and the pheasants fell to the ground with a "cluck cluck".
Shen Jingyuan picked up the pheasant that fell on the ground, and Shen Li went to the dry grass where the pheasant was found, took out a dozen pheasant eggs from it, and put them in his pocket.
"Ali, we can have pheasant tonight!"
"Brother, there are pheasant eggs here!"
Shen Jingyuan held two pheasants in his hands and happily brought them to Shen Li. He weighed them a few times and said, "They are quite fat!"
How can you not get fat? You are being served with delicious food and drinks in this space!
Chen Li nodded, "It's quite fat, big brother, take it back quickly and have it as a snack tonight."
"OK."
Shen Jingyuan held the pheasant in one hand and his pocket with pheasant eggs in the other.
When the others saw Shen Jingyuan carrying two pheasants back, they also wanted to try their luck. Each family sent one person and they walked together in the nearby woods.
As for the children, we didn't let them run around. There were other refugees nearby, so we had to be careful.
Chen Li pulled the horses a little further away, fed the two horses a lot of food, and then pulled them back and tied them to a tree.
In their resting place, the little rascals were squatting in a row, including Lu Nian, Chen Xiaoya, the village chief and the two grandsons of Doctor Liu.
The adults didn't stop them. The little ones all had red faces, and it was obvious that they had been squatting for a while.
After seeing Chen Li coming over, everyone puffed out their chests, took a deep breath, and continued to persevere.
Chen Li watched for a while, and this little guy obviously knew his limits, and stopped to rest when he got tired.
He took out a few candies from his purse and distributed them to them one by one. "These are rewards for you."
"Thank you, Sister Ali!"
Seeing their satisfied expressions after receiving the candy, Chen Li also smiled.
