When Chen Li heard what he said, he quickly searched each of the men in black that he had killed. However, this time the men in black seemed to be poorer. Only more than 40 taels of silver were found on about 10 people.
No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and a piece of sunken pear is never too little.
Pei Yu reached out and pushed away An Yi who wanted to treat his wound, and walked to Chen Li's side.
“Miss Shen, thank you so much today.”
Chen Li put the silver away and said, "Thank you, sir, why don't you give me something more substantial."
Pei Yu nodded, "It's my duty. I've been a burden to the young lady today."
"That's good to know. Then give me more!"
Looking at Chen Li's sincere eyes, Pei Yu nodded and said, "I'll give it to you later, young lady. I have something else to ask you."
"Yeah, go ahead."
At this time, Chi Yan walked to Chen Li's side in horse stance, nudged her back with his head again, and urged her to go.
"The girl has been at home for a long time. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
Seeing something unusual, Chen Li raised her eyebrows, "For example?"
There are indeed some unusual things, but they are not related to each other, and she was implicated by him today. Why should Chen Li tell him?
Pei Yu understood, this is it, "Please tell me, young lady, I..."
Suddenly, Chen Li saw thick black smoke rising above the woods in the distance. That was where they had set up camp.
His face suddenly darkened, he glared at Pei Yu fiercely, and jumped on his horse.
"Chiyan, hurry!"
It was the first time that Chi Yan felt his master so anxious, and he ran wildly in the bamboo forest.
Pei Yu also noticed her anxious look and used his Qigong to "follow her!"
"yes."
…
Over there, Shen Changshan and his group were cooking. Seeing that lunch was ready, but Shen Li had not come back yet, they couldn't help but feel anxious.
However, during this time they were all aware of Chen Li's abilities, and if she hadn't returned yet she must have been delayed by something, and they didn't know where to find her, so they could only stay in the camp and wait for her to return.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and judging from the sound, there were quite a few horses.
Shen Changshan stood up and said, "Boss, go and take a look. Everyone else be careful."
Shen Jingyuan trotted towards the source of the sound. Several other families had already picked up their weapons and protected the elderly, children and women in the middle.
Not long after, Shen Jingyuan ran back, and behind him, a cloud of dust could be seen from a distance, and the figure behind him could be vaguely seen.
"Dad, those people are arresting refugees, and they have already arrested quite a few."
"ah!"
"So what should we do?"
"Should we hide in the woods?"
When the families heard this, they immediately panicked. Why were these people arresting these refugees?
What should they do?
"Quiet, Boss, how many of them are there?"
"There were about 40 people in total, 10 of them were on horseback, and all of them were carrying large swords."
After hearing this, Shen Changshan's brows knitted into the shape of a "chuan" character. "Everyone, take your belongings and hide in the woods first."
Some refugees who had heard the news had already hidden themselves. There were few of them and not many belongings, so they hid in the woods and those people would not search them carefully.
But Shen Changshan's team was different. They had cows, mules, horses, and a lot of belongings. How could they hide? Where could they hide?
Even if people hide away, their belongings and livestock cannot be escaped. If they lose these things, how can they go forward?
They quickly moved their belongings back, and then they didn't know what to do?
"Changshan, what should we do?"
"Yes, Brother Changshan, you say it, and we all listen."
Shen Changshan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back, but he didn't show it. Otherwise, the team would only become more panicked.
"We can't hide, so we have no choice but to fight. Everyone, grab your weapons, and the elderly and children should hide in the trees."
"OK."
Shen Erhe was the first to pick up a weapon, and others followed suit.
The Liu Mings they met along the way were always in groups of three or four, but now, there are dozens of them here. Will those people let them go?
Li Qiaolan did not retreat. She also held a long knife in her hand and had to protect her daughter and son.
After Lu Jing hid his sister, he went downstairs to find an axe. Sister Ali and her family had helped them a lot, so he couldn't hide.
Shen Qi'an frantically collected dead branches and leaves in the woods behind, found a relatively open place, and set them on fire.
I hope my younger sister can see this and come back as soon as possible, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses this time.
"Sir, there is a group of refugees ahead, and they have lit signal fire."
Upon hearing this, the elder raised his eyelids and took a look. "They are just refugees, they are nothing. Take your men and capture them. Move quickly."
"yes."
The man next to him rode a big horse, picked up nine soldiers from behind, and then trotted towards the place where the smoke came from.
When he saw so many able-bodied men and food, he became obviously much more excited.
Shen Changshan and the others looked at the group of people getting closer and closer, and they were obviously relieved. They could beat these 10 people, so it would be better to deal with them first.
So a group of people squatted on the ground, trembling with fear, expressing their fear to the extreme.
"Haha, go tie up these people and take them away."
The nine people behind him came towards Shen Changshan and the others with hemp ropes in their hands.
Shen Changshan and his men did not make any move, still squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. When those men approached and tried to tie them up, the twenty or so men squatting on the ground pulled out long knives hidden in the fallen leaves and neatly killed them.
