But it doesn’t matter. My current superpowers, combined with the natural power of this body, are enough.
At daybreak, when the aroma of rice wafted over the woods, Shen Changshan and his group returned with water. Shen Changshan and Shen Jingyuan poured the water into the water tank, leaving more than half a bucket.
Although it was morning and the temperature was not as high as during the day, the father and son's clothes were soaked after all this.
Lin Cuicui quickly asked them to change, and then the family sat down to eat breakfast. The breakfast was brown rice porridge and coarse flour pancakes. The pancakes were fried in oil until golden on both sides, and added with slightly spicy pickles, which went perfectly with the white porridge.
Chen Li took her breakfast and sat outside the carriage to eat. Although the breakfast was simple, her mother was a good cook and could make simple meals delicious.
After breakfast, the villagers of Sanli Village were packing up and preparing to set off. At this time, a group of more than ten people in cloth clothes came from the front.
Those who saw it took up weapons to demonstrate. Shen Zhenyuan stood at the front with a crutch. Lin Hu, Shen Changshan and others stood beside him, and behind him were more than 30 villagers holding sticks and sickles.
The leader, who looked to be about 30 years old, stood 5 meters away from them and said kindly:
"I'm sorry to bother you all. I'm Wang Yue, the village chief of Shangyang Village."
Shen Zhenyuan's expression was not very friendly. He knew this group of people who were stationed in front of them. They came here at this time probably because of the water problem.
"What do you want?"
Wang Yue looked at their expressions and knew that he and his group were not welcome, but he didn't take it to heart.
If they had discovered the water here last night, there might have been a fight between the two villages. Now that the time is different, the conflict has been avoided.
"Well, I'm sorry to bother you so rashly. People in our village saw you fetching water this morning. Could you tell us where the water source is?"
Shen Zhenyuan clenched the crutch in his hand. The people from Shangyang Village really came here for the water source.
They were now about to continue their journey. This group of people had a pretty good attitude, and it didn't matter where Shuiyuan told them.
"Okay, we're leaving soon and won't be leading you."
Wang Yue immediately smiled and waved his hand to refuse, "Don't bother. Just tell us the location and we'll find it ourselves."
Shen Zhenyuan nodded and asked Shen Changshan and Lin Hu to tell them the location of the water source in detail.
Water resources are very important now. If someone discovers it and tells you, it is a great favor. You can't force anything else.
Wang Yue led a dozen villagers and bowed deeply to the people of Sanli Village. "Thank you very much."
Only then did he take his men back to his base.
The group of people from Sanli Village had already packed up and were pushing their things onto the official road, continuing to move forward. When they passed by Shangyang Village, no one paid much attention to them.
Chen Li turned his head to look at the villagers of Shangyang Village. Their number was not as large as that of Sanli Village. When they saw a group of them passing by, the men in the village also stood up and blocked the front of the team.
Chen Li withdrew his gaze and continued to drive the mule cart. The speed of travel was much faster today, but fortunately, a water source was found yesterday. The villagers did not complain too much, but gritted their teeth and continued to move forward.
At this time, Sanli Village and Taohua Town were being looted by groups of refugees.
These refugees are strong and healthy, and their complexion is not as pale and thin as other refugees. You can tell at a glance that they are not easy to mess with.
At this moment, they had already fled to Taohua Town, split up their team and looted the villages below.
If anyone resisted, they would raise their knives and kill them directly. Suddenly, wailing and cries of pain could be heard from all directions above Taohua Town.
These people are ferocious and merciless to the weak. They can no longer be described as refugees. They are more like bandits composed of refugees.
Almost all the men and the elderly died at their hands, while the children and women were left behind to be sold to other cities.
At the foot of the mountain, the Shen family's house was also looted. After a small group of militiamen walked in, they looked at the empty house and immediately cursed.
The elderly in the village and those villagers who were still hoping for a lucky break and had not gone to seek refuge with their relatives, some of them were quick to act and knew that the refugees were coming. They had already packed their bags and took their families to the mountains to escape the disaster.
Some people encountered ferocious militiamen as soon as they left their homes, and their lives ended there.
These refugees have experienced too much, their psychology has been distorted, and they are no longer ordinary people. They believe that the reason they left their homes and lost their wives and children was due to the inaction of the court.
So when they see those people who are happy and living a fulfilling life, their minds become distorted again and they raise their butcher knives against innocent people.
Chen Li and the others didn't know what was happening in Sanli Village at the moment, and even if they knew, it would be of no use.
I told you long ago that there would be refugees coming, but they didn't listen. All I can say is it's fate and timing.
…
Pei Yu encountered many ambushes on his way back to Beijing, a small wave every three days and a large wave every five days, but this time was the most serious.
So much time has passed, and his internal strength has not yet recovered. He has been injured along the way, either on the way to be injured or on the way to recuperate, which is why he has not returned to the capital yet.
Now they are finally only 100 miles away from the capital, but they are surrounded by a hundred men in black.
Pei Yu rode on a black horse, looking coldly at the killer in front of him, with a slight curl of his lips. Haha, these people really think highly of me!
This time, they actually hired the red-level killers from the Seven Killing Pavilion, and they hired 100 of them at once.
The Seven Killing Pavilion's red-level killers would cost 100 taels of gold to hire one person.
There were 100 red-level killers ambushing him, which was really a big deal!
Spend 10,000 taels of gold to take his life!
Oh, Pei Yu’s life is only worth this little money?
Who are you looking down on!
Tianqing behind him couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he saw the red-level killer in front of him. No matter how powerful he and his master were, even if they tried their best to kill these people, there was no guarantee that more people would come later.
Fortunately, fortunately, the master is a man of foresight and knows that the most difficult hurdle must be here at the checkpoint before entering Beijing.
If not for this, he would have lost his life here this time.
The atmosphere on both sides was tense and the battle was about to break out. Pei Yu made a gesture and the secret guards hidden in the woods immediately appeared and blocked the red-level killer from the Seven Killing Pavilion.
A quarter of an hour later, Pei Yu's side successfully killed all the red-level killers with the advantage of large numbers.
Looking at the crowd lying on the ground in front of him, Pei Yu raised his lips in a good mood, "Tianqing, go give them a big gift."
"yes."
Tianqing had followed Pei Yu for a long time, and obviously knew what this "big gift" he was talking about was.
In the middle of the night, in a low-key yet luxurious bedroom, a beautiful woman slowly woke up and saw densely packed human heads hanging above her bed, staring at her with wide eyes, and blood dripping on her face. Her face immediately turned pale.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhh!”
