He Lai Di really wanted to curse, but she knew that her current sister-in-law was not someone she could afford to offend. Even her mother-in-law had to stay away from them. If she got beaten, according to the nature of that family, no one would support her.
After thinking it through, she forced herself to suppress the anger in her heart and walked in front of Lin Cuicui and the others. She pretended not to hear what Shen Jiaojiao said who was following behind her.
When something happens, he just stands there doing nothing and doesn't offer a helping hand.
A person who eats his own food and betrays his own people!
Lin Cuicui glanced at Li Qiaolan and said, "Sister Qiaolan, you are really amazing."
"For those who are shameless like them, we can't give them face."
Li Qiaolan pulled Lin Cuicui to continue looking for wild vegetables, and whispered some experiences to Lin Cuicui.
Lin Cuicui listened carefully and kept it in mind.
Chen Li walked beside Shen Changshan. Jiang Huaichuan always said some incomprehensible things, but the original owner did not know him.
What is going on!
Could it be that he has some intention towards me?
Or is there something in your own home that he needs?
They walked for more than half an hour before they dispersed. Shen Li and Shen Changshan were walking together. Suddenly, they found a lot of fallen burr balls on the ground in front of them.
Chen Li was delighted and ran over to take a look. They were indeed chestnuts, but because of lack of water, these chestnuts were only slightly larger than a fingernail.
It’s a little small, but it’s big enough.
Chen Li looked at the nearby chestnut trees and a smile spread across her face.
Shen Changshan also came over, "Ali, you... have so many chestnuts?"
"Dad, call them all over, and add a few more people to go back to the camp and tell them. We finally met them, we can't let them go."
"Yes, Ali is right."
Shen Changshan went to call everyone over, and at the same time arranged for three people to go back and call people over. They squatted on the ground and picked up the trash first.
The chestnuts that fell on the ground had all opened and could be easily opened with a simple push of the hand.
Everyone picked up the chestnuts together and soon all the chestnuts on the ground were picked up.
After picking up all the chestnuts on the ground, a few strong men climbed up the tree and shook them down, and the people under the tree stood a little further away.
There is no need to rush to pick chestnuts. It will take a long time. If you hit your head with them, you will suffer.
Soon, the people who went to call for help came back, and with them came some women, who brought several carts and sacks.
It was getting dark, and everyone was holding sacks and speeding up their work to pick up the chestnuts with their shells.
Someone nearby was responsible for holding a torch to illuminate the area. After working for a long time, they finally picked all the chestnuts from the trees. The group pushed the chestnuts through the forest.
When we returned to the resting place, the moon was already high in the sky. Everyone was very hungry. After leaving the chestnuts with the village chief, they went back to eat.
Shen Zhenyuan organized the people who stayed in the camp to rest and picked out the chestnuts overnight. With more people, more strength, and they finished the job quickly. In the end, each family received 20 kilograms of chestnuts.
After eating, Chen Li was so tired that she could only yawn. This body was still too small and she got tired easily. She fell on the straw mat and fell asleep quickly.
The official road in the mountains was a bit bumpy and the team couldn't move very fast, but there was one advantage: it wasn't that hot in the mountains.
Since entering the forest, they have not seen any other fleeing groups in front or behind them.
"Ali, this is for you."
Shen Yuanzhou handed over two yellow prickly ash bubbles and said, "They are ripe and not sour anymore."
"Thank you, Third Brother."
They were at the front of the team. Shen Yuanzhou and Lin Feng would sometimes walk a little further forward and then go into the woods on both sides to look for something. The prickly ash was what they had just found.
Chen Li took it, removed the small thorns on the outside, took a bite, and it tasted pretty good, sour and sweet.
"Third brother, do you have more of this? I think my sister-in-law will like this."
Shen Yuanzhou took out a few more from the small cloth bag hanging on his body and stuffed them into Shen Li's arms.
"Also, these are for you, and the rest are for my sister-in-law and mother."
After Shen Yuanzhou finished speaking, he walked towards the mule cart at the back and stuffed the cloth bag into the hands of his eldest brother Shen Jingyuan.
"Brother, these are the thorn bubbles I picked. Give them to your sister-in-law to try."
Shen Jingyuan's eyes lit up, he opened the bag directly, grabbed a few prickly bubbles, and moved closer to Xu Taohua.
"Taohua, come here, this is delicious."
It just so happened that Xu Taohua had not had a very good appetite these past two days. Chenli's spiritual fruit seemed to help alleviate the problem a little, but she still couldn't eat much.
Xu Taohua also heard the conversation between Ayuan and his third brother, and reached out to take the prickly pear that her husband had cleaned off the thorns.
Under Shen Jingyuan's gaze, she stuffed the prickly ash into her mouth and nodded at him with a smile, "Delicious."
Shen Jingyuan also laughed naively, continued to deal with the remaining prickly bubbles, and stuffed them into Xu Taohua's hands.
"As long as it tastes good, if you want more, I'll find more for you."
"OK."
Shen Yuanzhou was so upset when he saw his elder brother's expression that he ran back to Shen Li.
As we walked, a dead tree appeared in front of us, blocking the road. The tree was placed in the middle of the road, and it was obvious that someone had placed it there on purpose.
The team slowly stopped, Shen Li and Shen Changshan walked forward to see, Shen Zhenyuan had already asked Shen Yanshan to notify everyone to pay attention.
"This is someone trying to rob someone on the road."
Longhu Village has been entrenched in Maoer Mountain for several years, and usually makes a living by robbing passing merchants and passers-by. For some unknown reason, the imperial court has never sent troops to suppress the bandits.
This is a chaotic time, so don't expect anyone to take care of them.
Sure enough, as soon as the team stopped, more than 20 burly men with big swords appeared in front of the dead tree.
The big man in the lead glanced at the team in front with his inverted triangle eyes.
"Seeing that you are not rich people, I will do a good deed today."
Then he pointed with his big hand and said, "Leave your mules, cattle and provisions here, and a few beautiful girls, and you can pass."
After he finished speaking, with a smug smile on his face, his gaze stayed on Shen Li, and he laughed, "This young lady is good, she must stay."
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
After he finished speaking, the twenty or so brothers around him burst into laughter.
Chen Li curled the corners of her mouth. This person has a really unique vision!
Shen Changshan, Shen Jingyuan and others looked extremely ugly. They immediately stood in front of Shen Li, covering her figure tightly.
Shen Zhenyuan's face was not looking good either, but as the village chief, he couldn't fall down at this time.
"My dear men, can we discuss this again? If we leave all our food and livestock behind, we will have no way to survive."
A big man behind them immediately jumped out and said, "Bah! Your lack of livelihood is none of our business. We are giving you face by giving you food and livestock."
"Otherwise, none of you will be able to leave Maoer Mountain without even asking who owns Maoer Mountain!"
"If you know what's good for you, leave your things here quickly, or no one will be able to leave!"
