Although Shen Qi'an was joking, he actually answered his doubts seriously. After all, this was a good opportunity to teach his third brother to read. He had avoided it every time before, so it was rare for him to take the initiative this time.
But the more he read the book, the more he felt something was wrong. Why did it seem a bit like a martial arts technique?
He looked up at his excited third brother, and then at his quiet younger sister. The whole family knew that his younger sister was practicing martial arts.
I suddenly realized why my third brother was so excited. It turned out that this book was extraordinary.
He said it, Third Brother is really...
Chen Li went straight to call her eldest brother and several cousins over. After all, it didn't matter whether she was herding one sheep or a flock of sheep.
Allowing them to exchange ideas with each other is a win-win situation.
Seven people gathered together, and the first thing they had to do was to memorize the method, and then practice it slowly until the day they got it right.
Several cousins could also read, but they could not recognize all the words in the book. However, with the help of Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an, they managed to recognize all of them with some difficulty.
After taking note, noon passed and everyone started on their journey again.
When the carriage just started, the dozen or so refugees had not gone far at noon. They were resting not far from them at noon. The team just started and they followed behind.
However, the speed of humans and animals is incomparable, not to mention that they were not full, so they could not catch up and soon left them behind.
After Shen Yuanzhou got the secret book, he stopped riding the horse and got on the carriage. Then, Shen Li rode Chi Yan again and galloped to the front.
There was no meat in the evening, so she went hunting. Chi Yan was very fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while, and this was exactly the effect she wanted.
After running forward for a distance, Chen Li ran into a fork in the road and left the refugees on both sides. Not long after entering, he was surrounded by big trees.
He dismounted and used his mental power to explore. There was no prey nearby. There were only a few birds and some bird eggs on the trees. Even the wild fruits on the trees had been picked.
But it doesn't matter, she has it in her space. Chen Li went behind the big tree. Although there was no one here, she still had to be careful.
Two pheasants and a hare appeared in his hands. He picked a vine and tied up the pheasants and hare, then walked back to Chi Yan and hung the pheasants and hare up.
He also placed a dozen pheasant eggs in the small basket on Chi Yan's body. To prevent the eggs from breaking, he stuffed a lot of grass into it.
He jumped on his horse and walked slowly toward the official road. They shouldn't have arrived yet.
Chen Li waited under a tree beside the official road for another quarter of an hour before the team appeared in front of her.
Chen Li caught up on horseback, and the prey hanging on her horse was naturally seen by everyone.
When he approached the carriage, he handed the pheasant and rabbit in his hand to Lin Cuicui. She took it and put it aside. It would be easy for them to die if they were hung like that, but putting them aside like this would allow her to have one more meal.
Seeing that Chen Li had a good harvest, An Liu also went into the woods to hunt. After a while, he came back with a dozen bird eggs.
He looked at Chen Li with some curiosity. Where did this Miss Shen find her prey? Could it be that she had caught all the prey in the woods?
Yes, that must be the case. Otherwise, with my own abilities, I wouldn’t have found only some bird eggs.
And there’s nothing I can do if the master doesn’t want to eat it. Hey, I’ll bake it later and he’ll be the only one to eat it!
When it was getting dark, the team stopped to rest in a bamboo forest. The weather was hot and the leaves at the bottom of the bamboo forest were a little yellow, but the leaves on the top were still emerald green.
This bamboo forest is very large. As soon as we stopped, we went into the bamboo forest to look for prey before it got dark, to see if we could find some bamboo rats or bamboo partridges.
Chen Li had already found prey at noon, so she didn't join them at this time.
The three brothers also went to the woods, and even Shen Xiaoya and Lu Nian held hands and went into the bamboo forest.
Seeing this, Chen Li warned them, "Little Duck, An Nian, be careful of insects and snakes."
Perhaps because women are naturally afraid of these creatures, the two little girls hesitated. They whispered a few words to each other, and finally looked at the sky. They unanimously decided to go in, but only in the vicinity and did not intend to go deeper.
Seeing this, Chen Li said nothing more. Everything was under everyone's eyes, so no accidents should happen.
Facts have proved that it is better not to draw conclusions too early, as you may be easily proven wrong.
After a while, Lu Nian shouted, and then the two little girls shut their mouths instantly, their bodies standing there as if frozen.
Chen Li took a look and saw that the view in the bamboo forest was getting darker and darker. Judging from the terrified expressions on their faces, there must be something in front of them, which could not be seen clearly without mental power.
As he walked over there, he released his mental power and saw a bamboo pit viper coiled on top of a bamboo one meter away from the two little girls, hissing at them.
The two little girls obviously knew that the snake was poisonous. They kept looking for help from the people around them. When they saw Chen Li coming towards them, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Yu obviously also heard the cry, and was closer to the two of them. He did not stand idly by, but walked over there with a bamboo leaf in his hand.
At this moment, the bamboo green snake suddenly pounced on them like two little girls. Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly dodged to the left and right.
The bamboo leaf green snake twisted its direction in the air and moved towards Lu Nian with its body twisted.
"ah!"
Chen Li hurriedly picked up a gravel on the ground and moved it over there, but he was still a step too slow.
Pei Yu had already thrown the bamboo leaf in his hand one step ahead, directly splitting the bamboo leaf green snake in half. After the snake fell to the ground, its body was still twisting in half after being broken into two.
After Lu Nian screamed, he was tripped by the bamboo roots exposed on the ground. He didn't care about being afraid and hurriedly crawled forward using his hands and feet.
After realizing that he was not bitten, he turned around and saw the bamboo pit viper broken into two pieces on the ground.
Her cry attracted everyone in the bamboo forest. Chen Li approached the two of them and took a closer look. There was nothing serious.
Shen Xiaoya pulled Lu Nian up from the ground, "It's okay, it's okay."
Lu Nian wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and nodded vigorously.
"Sister Ali, thank you!"
"No need, it was Master Wei who saved you. Let's go back."
"Okay, Sister Ali."
The two of them walked in front. Chen Li picked up the bamboo green snake with two bamboo sticks and planned to ask Grandpa Liu if he wanted it.
When Lu Nian and Shen Xiaoya saw Pei Yu, they were a little afraid of his cold face, but when they thought about how he had killed the snake, they still plucked up the courage to thank him.
Lu Nian immediately bowed in Pei Yu's direction and said, "Thank you, Master Wei."
Pei Yu shook his head, nodded slightly to Chen Li, and turned away.
Chen Li picked up the snake and looked at it in front of his eyes. The cut was very neat. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that he put out bamboo leaves, he would have thought it was cut with a knife.
