When midnight came, it was the time when people were most sleepy. In addition, the team had been traveling all day, so everyone had already fallen into a deep sleep.
At this time, the refugees began to act. They first knocked out several night guards, and then quietly approached the cart.
Their movements were very light. Some refugees even saw the long knife on the cart, picked it up and cut the hemp rope on the cart, and then moved the food away in an orderly manner.
Shen Jiaojiao's injury hasn't healed yet, and she's been feeling very weak lately, and she can't sleep well.
Just when she was half asleep, she saw someone dangling in front of her cart. She tried hard to open her eyes and saw that it was not her family member, so she immediately shouted.
"There's a thief!"
Her shout was so loud that it instantly woke up the sleeping people. Seeing this, the refugees picked up their things and ran away.
Seeing this, the two people in front of Old Shen's cart gave Shen Jiaojiao a sinister look, then ran away carrying the wooden bucket filled with water.
"Dad, second brother and sister-in-law, hurry up, they took the water away!"
"ah!"
Shen Jiaojiao was pushed from behind and fell heavily to the ground.
The three adults in the Shen family went to chase the refugees who stole water. Shen Wensong had to watch the cart and protect his younger brother, so he didn't have time to take care of Shen Jiaojiao for a while.
Shen Jiaojiao, who had not yet recovered from a serious illness, was pushed again and fainted directly on the ground. The wound on her head that had just healed began to bleed again.
The team was in chaos. Some villagers from Sanli Village who had been given knives earlier picked up their knives and started slashing at the refugees around them.
They showed no mercy. These people came to steal their food and could not be forgiven. For a moment, this small open space was very lively.
Shen Changfeng and He Lai Di lost the person after running for a while, and worried about the food at home, so they had to return in a hurry.
As for Shen Dajiang, he is old now and he ran out of strength after chasing halfway.
On their way back, the two men met Shen Dajiang, hurriedly picked him up, and ran back to their own cart.
Shen Wensong had a knife in his hand, which scared away some refugees. However, some of them saw that he was thin and wanted to try to get some food.
Shen Wensong also became ruthless. He clenched the knife in his hand and swung it hard, hitting the arms of two refugees. The smell of blood instantly filled the air.
The two people who were hit ran away while covering their wounds. This guy looked thin and weak, but I didn't expect him to be so cruel.
When the three hurried back, they saw four or five refugees gathered in front of their cart room, and some of them had already touched the food.
The three of them rushed up in an instant. He Lai Di only felt that she stepped on something soft in the dark, but at this moment, she was eager to save the food and didn't pay much attention to it.
Shen Jiaojiao was stepped on several times in a row and groaned. Later, the old Shen family drove away the refugees, and she was stepped on several times again. She woke up because of the pain, and fainted again because of the pain.
"Where's Jiaojiao?"
It was not until the team solved the trouble that the people from the old Shen family noticed that Shen Jiaojiao was absent.
He Lai Di slapped her thigh anxiously. Oh no, could her sister-in-law have been kidnapped by the refugees?
Thinking of this, He Lai Di took a step back in fear and stepped on Shen Jiaojiao's arm.
"Hmm~"
“Oh my god!”
He Lai Di jumped several steps in a row, and when she reached a safe place, she looked down at the ground. What a coincidence, wasn't that her sister-in-law?
…
After setting out in the morning, Chen Li paid attention to the surrounding trees. As it approached noon, the leaves of the surrounding trees became greener and greener, and she finally confirmed that there was a water source nearby.
The team stopped to rest, but Chen Li did not dismount and remained on Chi Yan, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to take a look around."
"Okay, be careful, Ali."
"Um."
Chen Li rode her horse into the woods on one side. Chi Yan trotted for about a quarter of an hour. She released her mental power and sensed the surrounding environment.
But I found that there was a small path not far away, and judging from the traces of weeds on the path, it was obvious that this path was passed by here frequently.
Chen Li spent another quarter of an hour riding Chi Yan to the road and dismounted to check.
There are some green weeds on both sides of the path, and two deep indentations in the middle, the width of which is just the width of a carriage. It is obvious that cars often pass by here.
Why do horse-drawn carriages often pass through the deep mountains and forests?
This discovery aroused Shen Li's curiosity.
She released her mental power and let it spread along both sides of the road. After a while, the right side of the road ended, and the way was blocked by a stone wall in front.
The illusion on the stone wall was very well made. If it weren't for my mental strength, I would have been fooled.
There's something weird in there!
Her heart was itching to go there because of the stone wall, but she did not forget that the most urgent thing was to find water, so she suppressed her curiosity for the time being.
After walking around the stone wall for a few times, I found a pond not far away. There were two tigers beside the pond. The pond was surrounded by thorns, leaving only one exit.
The two tigers were tied up and kept in captivity.
No, curiosity killed the cat. If there really was something in there, it would have been fine if I was alone before, but now I have my family with me. What if they are implicated?
Chen Li turned her horse around and headed back. This time, she changed the direction. She could also go back here as the distance was about the same. She could also look for water here.
She had just used her mental power to discover the mountain wall, which made her very itchy, so she didn't release her mental power at this moment.
As he walked, he took out a piece of roasted rabbit from the space and ate it. It was quite cool in the woods. Chen Li took off his hat and hung it around his neck.
After walking around a mountain for a long distance, Chen Li found a shallow puddle at the foot of the mountain.
Found it!
I jumped off the horse to check. This puddle was originally quite deep, but now there was only a shallow layer of water at the bottom. Water was still slowly seeping out from the stone wall, but the speed was very slow.
Chen Li released well water from the space into the puddle until it was almost full. The water in the puddle was enough for several of them to use.
The water source was found, and Chen Li rode his horse back. In front of them was a bamboo forest. Maybe there was a water source here, so the bamboo was emerald green.
Suddenly, Chen Li hurriedly reined in Chi Yan. Someone was approaching from the front, and very quickly.
Before Chen Li started running, she saw the ability to climb walls and run on rooftops.
Leading the group were two men, both dressed in black, who were quickly passing over the bamboo forest.
It is not an exaggeration to describe them as light as a swallow. Seeing their light skills, Chen Li felt itchy and wanted to learn them too.
Before Chen Li saw the faces of the people, she saw more than twenty masked men in black appearing around them and surrounding the two men.
Chen Li quickly put on his straw hat and rode away. One of the two people who were surrounded looked very familiar.
