Seeing that the visitor had ill intentions, Qi Yanxuan put down the food on his shoulders.
"What else? Kill me?" Qi Yanxuan looked at the three people opposite with a deadly look.
The three men looked at each other and were about to go forward to kill people and seize food. Just as they took a step, they saw a vine inserted into the heart of the biggest man among the three.
It turned out that as soon as the three of them made a move, Qi Yanxuan activated his wood-type ability to control the blood-sucking vine and pierced it into the big man's heart.
As soon as the blood-sucking vine pierced the man's heart, it began to suck blood frantically, and soon the man turned into a dried corpse.
The other two were so frightened when they saw their boss turned into a mummy that they turned around and wanted to run away.
How could Qi Yanxuan let go of these two people who wanted to kill him? He instantly activated his lightning ability and released two lightning bolts. Before the two men could even open their mouths to shout, they were knocked unconscious by lightning.
Then he let the blood-sucking vine suck the blood of the two men and threw the three mummies into the space. He carried the food and left the alley.
There was no trace of blood left in the alley, as if no one had ever been here.
On the way back, I met a man selling buns. I used the ten taels of silver given by Shen Yanqing to buy twelve meat buns. The price of meat buns had risen to 5 cents each.
When he returned to the team, he saw Shen Yanshan who looked a little anxious.
It turned out that the other people who went to buy food had returned early. Seeing that Qi Yanxuan had not returned yet, the Shen family father and son became a little anxious.
Seeing Qi Yanxuan coming back, they hurried to greet him.
Shen Yanshan hurriedly unloaded all the food from Qi Yanxuan’s shoulders to make it easier for him.
"Why were you gone for so long, kid? Everyone came back early this morning, but what happened?" Shen Yanshan asked with a look of concern on his face.
"No, I just went shopping. Where's Brother Shen? Hasn't he come back yet?" Qi Yanxuan asked puzzledly when he didn't see Shen Yanqing in the crowd.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Shen Yanqing and Shen Kui coming back one after another.
Seeing that someone had returned, Shen Yanqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thanked Shen Kui, and walked towards Qi Yanxuan.
"Where have you been? I bought some rice and went to the rice shop around the corner. You weren't there either."
"I bought some food and went to the other side to buy some meat buns!" As he said that, he handed the oil paper bag and seven taels of silver to Shen Yanqing.
Shen Yanqing took the oil paper bag, but did not take the silver. "You keep the silver."
"It's good that everyone is here. It's getting dark. Now that we're in the city, let's find an inn to rest. It's not safe to travel at night. Let's gather at the city gate tomorrow morning." The village chief and his family of five left first.
Laifu Inn
When the three of them arrived, there was only one room left, and the three of them came into the room.
Shen Yanqing took out the buns Qi Yanxuan gave him, and then took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Qi Yanxuan, "I bought this for you."
Qi Yanxuan opened the oil paper package. Huh? Jerky? So he thought I wanted to eat jerky that day. It looks like wood, but it's quite good. Qi Yanxuan thought to himself but didn't show it on his face.
He just raised his head and gave Shen Yanqing a sweet smile “Thank you, Brother Shen!
The three of them ate and went to bed.

The next day at 3:30 AM
After everyone gathered together, they left the city. Today, the group of people fleeing famine has grown larger.
Because we left late, everyone else in the city had left first, so the team had only about a thousand people.
Today, some people in Yuncheng also left the city with their families to escape the famine. From a distance, there were nearly 10,000 people.
"Let's load everything that can hold water. We have to cross a desert in the next few days, and being without water can be fatal." Shen Kui reminded everyone.
Upon hearing this, everyone took out the buckets from their homes and walked towards the river together.
*
Ten thousand people entered this boundless desert, and who knows how many of them would die here, Qi Yanxuan thought to himself, but he kept following the team.
Walking in the desert under the scorching sun is an extremely painful thing. Even adults can hardly bear it, not to mention the elderly, pregnant women and children in the team.
The old man staggered forward in the desert with a cane, the pregnant woman held her belly and gritted her teeth to persevere, and the little children followed their parents, their little faces sunburned red.
Everyone moves forward firmly, and everyone expresses their desire for life.
*
After walking for a whole morning, everyone's speed slowed down. The sand also created resistance to the cart. Qi Yanxuan saw that Shen Yanqing was tired and sweating, so he took over the cart and said, "Brother Shen, you take a break. The desert is not like the official road. It's not easy to walk. I will push it."
Shen Yanqing did not refuse and took the backpack from Qi Yanxuan's back.
Qi Yanxuan is a person with special abilities after all, so pushing the cart doesn't take any effort at all.
As everyone hurried on, the sun gradually set and the large group was looking for a place to spend the night.
The village next to the mountain found a small slope sheltered from the wind, and every household began to spread out their blankets. The temperature difference between the desert at night and during the day was about 40 degrees. It was as hot during the day as it was cold at night.
Everyone spread out their beds, ate quickly and went to sleep.
It was just after midnight.
Qi Yanxuan woke up immediately when he heard a rustling sound. He opened his eyes and saw that Shen Yanqing was also awake. The two looked at each other and walked towards the source of the sound.
As soon as I approached, I heard a scream. Not far away, a group of people were covered with dense scorpions.
When Shen Yanqing saw this scene, his scalp tingled and he pulled Qi Yanxuan and ran back.
The two returned to the camp and rang the gong to wake everyone up, "Wake up, there are scorpions, grab your things and run."
After waking up everyone, the two hurriedly packed up their things. Seeing Qi Yanxuan pulling the cart, Shen Yanqing stepped forward and pulled with him. The two of them each pulled a handle and pulled Shen Yanshan forward quickly.
Everyone heard the sound of the gong, and then heard the sound of a scorpion. They all quickly picked up their things and ran after it.
The other teams heard the noise and quickly packed up their things, causing the scene to become chaotic for a moment.
