Chapter 37: Resolutely follow the eldest daughter of the Shen family
The waterwheel went eastward, made a big circle around the hill, and returned to the outside of the village.
"You wait here, I'll go and check it out first." Zhao Si parked the car in a forest, said this, and reached for the sword at his waist.
"The other side has more people. How can you take the risk alone, Brother Zhao? Let's go back and find help..." Chen Chunxing saw the dark energy on his face, the veins on his forehead jumped, and he hurriedly held the man down.
He really is worthy of being Wei Da's subordinate, so fierce.
"I've thought about it, and since you've just exposed our whereabouts, the other side will definitely rush to the tea shed for support. I'm going to make a surprise attack right now, so as to help Commander Wei share the burden!"
Zhao Si tried hard to pull the little girl away, thinking that she was afraid, and tried to comfort her reluctantly.
"If you can't, just dig a hole and bury yourself. I'll call you out when the battle is over."
"..." Chen Chunxing's strength couldn't help but weaken. Seeing his confident face, he was genuinely puzzled. "What if you don't come back? Will I be buried alive by myself?"
"The war is about to begin, don't talk nonsense! Don't worry, this battle will be a life-and-death one!" Zhao Si glared at her and walked away without looking back.
Shen Chunxing...
Who of us is talking nonsense? Why didn’t I realize this guy has such mysterious confidence before?
She held her forehead with her hand because of a headache, hesitated for a while, and finally followed slowly.
Good people are hard to come by.
Considering that he helped me fetch water, I will let him live a little longer.
As for the tea stall.
Chen Chunxing never worried.
The people who should be led away already know who they are, and the grudges that should be settled will come to an end sooner or later.
Putting aside the officials, the Shen family has nothing to worry about as long as Yang Yi is around, and with Ah Huai added to the mix... it's others who will have a headache.
——
Three miles away.
There are new customers passing by the tea stall.
When they first saw those burly men with their heads wrapped in sackcloth, everyone was shocked.
Later, they learned from the old woman that local merchants dressed like this to protect themselves from wind and sand when traveling, so they sat back down.
Seeing that more than a dozen people on the other side were tying up goods, one of the prisoners couldn't take his eyes off them and tried to make some compliments.
"That's a good idea. I'll make one later!"
"Come on, it doesn't matter whether you cover your old bark or not."
"Hey, what's wrong with me? I was the most beautiful girl in the village back then! It's because I gave birth to your children that I've become old and ugly! Now that the good days are over, you still dare to look down on me!"
The woman kept grabbing the man's face.
"Okay, we haven't even reached the destination yet, why are you so angry..."
The man who was trying to stop the fight hadn't even finished his complaint when a knife was pressed against his neck. His breathing suddenly stopped and his legs began to tremble.
When they saw the merchants just now quickly pulling out swords from under the oilcloth covering the goods and approaching the tea stall, everyone immediately panicked.
For a moment, some ran away and some screamed.
The Shen family used to listen to Shen Chunxing's words, fill their stomachs and return to the car.
At this time, Shen Mingqiu was sitting in the driver's seat. He immediately pulled the reins and quickly drove away before anyone else could react.
Although he really wanted to find an opportunity to see blood to prove his identity as the only male in the Shen family, he at least knew his own limitations.
Using the few to defeat the many is like using a big club!
"What should we do, Magistrate Xue?" Diao sat upside down and slapped her thigh in annoyance as she saw the carriage moving farther and farther away.
Shen Zhixia also pushed Shen Mingqiu's back anxiously.
The Wu siblings haven’t come up yet!
These two are afraid of taking up everyone's seats, so they rarely take the bus on weekdays.
"I'll send you away first..." Shen Mingqiu just turned his head and saw the "big stick" in the car jumped out.
"No need, I'll go, you guys go." Yang took a big step at an extremely fast speed and opened up the distance in the blink of an eye.
"This big fool!" Shen Mingqiu shouted several times but failed to call the person back. He was so angry that he threw the reins to Diao and jumped down himself.
He expressed disgust, but he also understood that Yang Yi could not afford to lose face.
The eldest sister will curse.
Now it was Diao's turn to feel depressed. She couldn't move forward or backward. Seeing that she was already very far away and there were no signs of ambush around, she simply stopped.
She was the one who was really about to vomit blood! Forget about that idiot Yang Yi, but why was this brat joining in the fun? With her tiny body, she was afraid someone would step on her and break her arms if she got involved!
"Do you think the third brother ate too much pig brains and became lame?"
A bloody battle was about to begin, but Diao was only worried.
Shen Zhixia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
We don't even eat pig brains twice a year...
But she could only keep her complaints deep in her heart.
Look around.
I was the only one left on the empty cart.
Shen Zhixia slapped Diao's arm hard.
"You're going to die!" Diao was in pain. She turned around and looked, her face also changed. "Where's the fourth brother?"
In front, Shen Mingqiu was trying hard to catch up with Yang Yi.
There was no sign of Chen Yandong.
How could this silly child disappear in the blink of an eye?
"Could it be that we have gone into the woods?" Diao looked to the left of the teahouse. There was a hill about a mile away. She hesitated and scratched her head.
The eldest girl said that the fourth child had a flaw in his fate and was destined to be slow to learn, but he was born with good luck and could turn adversity into fortune.
Is it going to start to be fulfilled now?
——
Inside the teahouse.
Wei Da ordered the officers to protect the prisoners and villagers, while he stood in front with a knife, glanced at the masked man and sneered.
"Attacking an official of the imperial court is a capital crime. You dare to ambush here? You must have some ulterior motive. Tell me, who sent you?"
These people were either criminals or refugees, and they didn't look like they deserved to be robbed.
Even if you really encounter a robber, after recognizing your identity as an official, the other party should consider whether it is worth it.
The leading man laughed wildly: "I just can't stand seeing the people of the imperial court oppressing the people. Don't be afraid, everyone. We will only kill the officers and soldiers and leave the rest alone!"
The exiles paused at the sound.
The villagers fled even faster, shouting as they went.
"Master Wei, leave us alone and kill him!"
"Still trying to trick your grandmother? The eldest daughter of the Shen family taught us a long time ago that when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on! Is there any robber in the world who doesn't smash, loot, and rob? Pah!"
"Good days are just around the corner. Anyone who gets fooled is a fool!"
In order to avoid being fools, the prisoners started to run away again.
These few words stunned both groups in the confrontation.
The masked man asked Wei Da in confusion, "Who is the eldest daughter of the Shen family?"
Could Wei Da tell him? A backhand stab would be more effective!
Although he was also amazed in his heart.
No wonder I always saw her chatting with refugees along the way, and it turned out to be these things.
——
That side.
Before Chen Chunxing left the woods, he met a ghost.
Maybe he was attracted by the token in his hand.
The man had a wound on his chest that was about three inches long and two fingers deep. His bones were exposed and his face was covered in blood.
It was as if he was killed by a single blow.
She glanced at the face full of flesh, and while she was impressed by his superb knife skills, she couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth and sighed.
"To harm others will ultimately harm yourself."
