Chapter 21 Snow in June
Cheng San was seen standing not far away watching them again, this time still looking at the pancakes in Shen Zhe and the others' hands.
Shen Qingqian didn't know how to complain. Why was he always seen cheating?
Most fugitives don't have much luggage, and if she was seen eating instant noodles by the same person every time, she would definitely be suspected.
"Sister, why is that person always looking at us?" Shen Zhe asked with a stern face. He also saw Sheng Ze.
Shen Qingqian said quickly, "Hurry up and eat, he hasn't eaten in a long time, maybe he wants to steal your noodles!"
No matter what the situation is, let’s destroy the body first.
When Shen Zhe heard this, he no longer had any doubts. He took big bites of the noodles and quickly finished half of it.
Shen Qin was young and ate slowly, but he was very protective of his food. He held the food in his mouth like a hamster, and stared at Sheng Ze warily while eating. However, his stomach was small, and he could only eat a small piece of half a pancake and could not finish it.
Seeing this, Shen Qingqian didn't feel disgusted. She took a few bites and ate up the rest of his pancake.
After eating, she ignored Sheng Ze and left with Shen Zhe and Shen Qin.
Sheng Ze's cheeks twitched unconsciously. He had good hearing and heard Shen Qingqian's words clearly. He also watched their actions the whole time and felt a little amused.
No matter how poor he is, he wouldn't compete with two children for food.
Shen Qingqian took the two children back and told them on the way that what they had just eaten should be kept secret.
Shen Qin naturally agreed without hesitation, but Shen Zhe still asked the same question.
"You know, there was a maid in my yard who loved to tinker with food. She made all of this. When I went out, I took a few pieces and hid them in my bag." Shen Qingqian said the words she had prepared long ago.
The original owner did have a maid who was good at cooking, but Shen Zhe was only six years old, so of course he didn't know whether her words were true or not, so he believed it immediately.
"Grandfather once said that good things should be shared among the family. It's better for sister not to take us to eat alone." Shen Zhe said seriously.
He probably inherited his personality from Mr. Shen. He is very rigid and not completely inflexible, but sometimes he is particularly stubborn.
Shen Qingqian twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed dryly twice, "I didn't take it out because there wasn't enough to go around."
She couldn't even fool Shen Zhe, so how could she dare to give it to other people?
Shen Zhe looked at her disapprovingly, but didn't say much. Although he was young, he knew that this was a special period and some things should not be taken too seriously.
After breakfast, everyone quickly packed up and prepared to set off.
Jiang Goudan was telling Li Laosan and Shen Xiao about the next route they were going to take. "Let's walk faster. We should be able to reach a pond by noon. We can rest for a while and then continue on our way. We should be able to reach a small valley before sunset."
The valley was also a place where they could shelter from the wind, and they could light a bonfire at night and make do with it for the night.
"Alright, let's do as you say." Li Laosan immediately made the decision and said to the escorts around him, "Remove the shackles for the others."
Several escorts looked at each other, and one of them hesitated and said, "I'm afraid this won't work."
There are more than a hundred men in this team, not counting those under ten years old. What if they rebel after the shackles are removed?
"It's okay, I'll take care of it if there's any problem." Li Laosan waved his hand.
He had naturally considered the consequences of doing so, but the mountain roads were difficult to travel on. If he had to wear shackles all the time, not only would it be inconvenient to travel, but it might also make people sick from exhaustion. Once someone got sick, it would be even more troublesome.
Moreover, he could see that Chen Er, who wanted to escape the most in the team, had become obedient, so the others would not run away even more.
Since he said so, the escorts had no choice but to remove the shackles from everyone one after another.
The team set off and was led by Jiang Goudan towards Chenzhou.
Unfortunately, just as they walked two miles, snowflakes suddenly fell from the sunny sky.
