What Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect was that the people in the old Shen family were also quite lucky.
They had previously obtained a carriage, food, and silver from Xie Yunche, and originally thought they could reach their destination safely, but they did not expect that Shen Jiaojiao had already harbored a grudge against them.
He secretly ordered those vicious refugees to rob them. When the refugees heard that there were not many people and that there were carriages, food and silver, they robbed the old Shen family without any hesitation.
Shen Dajiang and Shen Changfeng, because they suddenly had carriages and food, were worried that the people from the mountain village would come to extort money, so they kept their distance from them.
This indirectly led to the fact that when they were surrounded by refugees, no one came to help them.
If a group of soldiers had not passed by from a distance, those people would have stopped for fear of getting into trouble, otherwise the whole family might not have been able to keep even the clothes on their backs.
“What a sin!”
He Lai Di sat on the ground, slapping her thigh and crying, "Grandpa, Changfeng, did you hear what they just said?"
“Isn’t the person they are talking about Shen Jiaojiao? She actually holds a grudge against us!”
"It's okay if we are brother and sister-in-law, but you are still here, father-in-law!"
"Now we have nothing. How are we going to survive as a family?"
"He's fine. He followed the young master and left to enjoy the good life, leaving us, the whole family, to suffer here."
"Woo woo woo, how could there be such a vicious sister-in-law in the world!"
Just now, he had been beaten in order to protect the food, and his face was already bruised. Now, after hearing what He Lai Di said, the faces of the three men beside him became even uglier.
Fortunately, although there was not much food nearby, if they walked a little further, they would soon reach a place with plenty of water. The family was waiting patiently for the Sanli Village team to catch up.
After much persuasion, he was able to stay in the team and get some food, so as not to starve to death.
When they saw a body lying on the side of the road, they rushed over and searched the body without hesitation.
By the time they reached a place with plenty of water, the family was starving to the point of being skin and bones. They wanted to die countless times along the way, but living was worse than death, and at least they survived and did not die.
But He Lai Di is now vicious to Shen Jiaojiao. Although the other three men didn't say anything, only they themselves know what they are thinking.
…
Chen Li had no idea what they had gone through, but even if she knew, she wouldn't care. Every evildoer will be punished by every evildoer. When the original victim is gone, a harmonious family will also have conflicts and begin to fall apart from within.
After driving the carriage back to Daohua Village and parking it, someone quickly moved the things out of the carriage. Chen Li then went to find Lin Cuicui and the others with some snacks.
"Mom, I'm back."
Chen Li lifted the curtain, walked into the room, and put the cakes on the table. Lin Cuicui and Li Qiaolan were making clothes. At a glance, they knew they were for their eldest nephew.
"I'm back. Can your third brother come back for the full moon banquet tomorrow?"
"Okay, I've already told Third Brother, he'll be back tomorrow."
"That's good."
"This is the pastry I brought back. I put it here."
"good."
Walking back to my yard, the water in the pond has become clear, and the grass planted around the small pond is full of vitality in the winter.
There are no fish in the pond yet. When the weather gets warmer, we will put fish in and plant lotus flowers.
After returning to the house, I thought that after the full moon banquet tomorrow, I would have to go to the store again. The Chinese New Year is coming in two days, and I have to distribute the New Year's goods to them.
That’s right, Chen Li asked Bai Yao to purchase New Year’s goods, and everyone has one. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it grass. Only by using both kindness and force can they remember it.
Early the next morning, the Shen family was busy, and even Shen Yuanzhou rushed back from the county early in the morning.
Chen Li looked around and there seemed to be no place for her to intervene. She glanced at today's weather and saw that it was a sunny day.
Shen Changshan, Lin Cuicui and the others were busy, so Shen Li simply went out of the backyard and planned to go into the mountains.
But unexpectedly, he saw two sneaky men in the charcoal burning area.
Chen Li had good hearing and listened attentively to the two men's conversation, wanting to know what they were planning.
"Tiezhu, are you sure the things in here can be sold for silver?"
The man called Tiezhu patted his chest and said, "You still don't believe what I say."
His voice couldn't help but get a little louder, he glanced around, and lowered his voice again.
"Let me tell you, what's burning here is charcoal. Do you know how much a pound of charcoal costs out there these days? The cheapest one costs two hundred coins a pound."
“So expensive!”
Tiezhu patted his shoulder and said, "Gousheng, we need to open up. The charcoal they use here is top quality, and it's very expensive!"
"Iron Pillar, how are we going to take it away? Look, there's still smoke coming out of this chimney."
Tie Zhu was speechless, feeling somewhat disappointed in himself: "Why take this away? Wouldn't it be better if we could find a way to get the recipe?"
"Besides," he pointed in the direction of the Shen family's house, "see? This is the house of his family. There must be a lot of money in the family, hehehe!"
"I understand. Isn't his family having a full moon banquet today? Then let's invite a dozen brothers over tonight. What we get will be enough for the brothers to splurge for a while."
“Hehe…ah!”
Gousheng was smiling with joy when suddenly a stick flew towards him and he fell asleep with a "bang".
"who!"
Tiezhu quickly jumped several steps away, looking around cautiously with his small eyes. This shouldn't be the case. His family had moved everyone to the front yard today. Otherwise, even if he had two times the courage, he wouldn't dare to plot loudly here!
Then, a girl in a moon-white brocade dress appeared in his sight. She had a cool temperament and excellent looks. But, her eyes looked a little creepy.
"You, what do you want to do?"
It’s no wonder he’s timid. Which girl’s eyes are so scary? It’s as if the person standing in front of him is not a girl, but a killer.
Chen Li curled her lips and smiled, holding a stick in her hand, "Don't you want to know how to make charcoal?"
Tie Zhu was speechless, "You, you are from the Shen family."
"uh-huh."
Then he saw a stick flying straight towards him. He ran forward in a hurry, but the stick seemed to have eyes and landed accurately on his head.
Looking at the two people lying on the ground, today was a good day, so he decided to show mercy and let them go.
She dragged the two men into the mountains, and it was quite easy for her, except that the two people behind her suffered a little.
After entering the mountains, he immediately used his Qinggong skills to jump around on the trees, and from time to time, he could hear two "bang bang" sounds.
After taking a quick look around, he realized they had already entered the mountains, so he simply left the two of them in the woods.
Letting them go does not mean sparing their lives. Since they dare to target us, we must be prepared. Whether we can survive today depends on their luck.
