Chapter 48: Protect her through her 14th year
Regardless of Ling Yun's astonishment, Sheng Ze closed his eyes and leaned against the cave wall.
This decision was made when he learned that the sixth daughter of the Shen family had been warned by Taoist Priest Quchen that she would not live past the age of fourteen.
Perhaps it was his experiences in the mountains over the past few days that made him less eager for revenge, or perhaps he wanted to protect this group of people and get them out of the mountain safely, or even more likely he wanted to protect her from turning fourteen.
No matter what the reason is, he doesn't want to leave the team yet.
"But master, have you forgotten that we are now brothers of the Cheng family. Once we go to northern Hubei, we have to register, and General Liang Cheng, the Great General of Zhenbei, has seen you before!" Ling Yun said hurriedly.
There is still half a year left before the Chinese New Year. Unless something major happens, this exile team will definitely arrive in northern Hubei before the Chinese New Year.
It doesn't matter to others, but the master cannot be recognized!
Sheng Ze didn't even open his eyes, he just said lightly: "No need to say more, I know what's going on."
He will naturally take revenge and get back what belongs to him, but now he has other plans.
The heavy rain finally stopped.
When I lifted the straw curtain at the entrance of the cliff cave, a scent of soil mixed with dead branches and leaves hit me in the face.
Shen Qingqian sniffed, looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, and muttered, "I hope it won't be another deadly heat wave."
Her luck was incredible. She was exiled right after traveling through time and was almost taken away by a foreign tribe as a slave. She also encountered snow in June in the mountains, followed by several days of heavy rain.
If there was another absolutely high temperature, then she could basically be sure of one thing - she had the legendary disaster physique.
"It's clear now, God has finally cleared up the sky!" Someone in the cliff cave next door was laughing.
Shen Qingqian's mood also improved a little. She hoped that she was just worrying too much.
It was snowing heavily and raining heavily. Even though the weather was clear now, Li Laosan knew that it was not the time to set out.
However, they were trapped in the cliff cave for three days due to heavy rain and were really suffocating. After they were sure that the ground below was passable, everyone came down.
The soil was slippery, so they wore straw sandals that they had woven in the cliff cave over the past few days.
Led by Mrs. Lu, the women searched around the area to see if they could find some edible mushrooms.
The men took their crude stone knives and went to a farther place to look for firewood - they had picked up all the firewood that could be used near the cliff cave.
Shen Qingqian and the Shen sisters followed behind Lu and the others.
They carried homemade straw net bags and asked Mrs. Lu if any green seedlings they saw were edible. They would then put any that were edible into the net bags.
"Sixth Miss is really smart. She learned how to weave straw sandals from me and was able to make this bag. It's quite useful." Mrs. Lu led the way and spoke as she walked.
Upon hearing this, Wu straightened her back and said modestly, "It was just an accident, but our sister Qian is indeed very smart."
Today, the three sisters-in-law of the Shen family who came out were only Wu. Liang and the ill Lin were all looking after the younger ones in the cliff cave.
"Yes, Sixth Miss also knows how to identify medicinal herbs. We didn't catch a cold even after being caught in the snow before, all thanks to Sixth Miss." Mrs. Lu continued to praise.
Shen Qingqian was used to her family members always praising her in public, and she thought of another thing when she heard it.
"Second sister, look, this is licorice." She wanted to teach the Shen sisters to recognize a few medicinal herbs, which might be useful someday.
But as soon as she parted the grass, she saw a circle of morels growing under the big tree next to the licorice.
