Chapter 394 Finally back home
They thought that the carriage was running so fast that they would not be spotted. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, a leopard caught up with their carriage.
Su Tai turned pale with fright.
"What to do?"
Shen Yi sped up, holding the reins with one hand and grabbing Su Tai's arm with the other, "You go first in the carriage, I'm still wearing a crossbow, don't panic for now."
He didn't want to take action unless absolutely necessary.
Su Tai breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the door handle and quickly got into the car.
Her actions probably irritated the leopard, because the guy actually approached the carriage, staring at Shen Yi for a while and the horse for a while, as if he was weighing who would be better to attack.
Shen Yi had an absolute intuition about wild beasts. He immediately let go of the reins, hooked his feet tightly onto the carriage, and aimed a crossbow at the cheetah.
The cheetah howled in pain and still pursued it.
Shen Yi could only shoot the second one, and fired five arrows in a row before knocking the cheetah down.
When the cheetah fell, Shen Yi drove the carriage back and stabbed him before jumping out of the carriage to retrieve the arrow and tying the cheetah's body to the back of the carriage.
Su Tai stuck her head out of the car window and smelled the strong smell of blood. She couldn't help but frown, "We have to leave quickly. We don't know what beasts will be attracted later."
The horse ran very fast, and the couple finally found a large inn when it was dark.
This inn is located at the junction of the Icefield and Langya Kingdom. People traveling between the two places usually spend the night here.
There are all kinds of bastards in the store, including peddlers, thugs, thugs, merchants and nobles.
Women like Su Tai are easily targeted.
Fortunately, she put on the curtain hat in advance.
Coupled with the fact that Shen Yi was carrying the cheetah on his shoulders, the joking guests in the inn lobby stopped and looked at Shen Yi secretly.
Shen Yi looked very cold when he was not smiling. He threw the cheetah to the ground.
The shopkeeper hurriedly and cautiously ran over to entertain them.
"Guest, do you want to be a top-notch person or stay in a hotel?"
Shen Yiyan spoke concisely and to the point: "I'll stay here for one night. Do you want to collect your things?"
The shopkeeper nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Take it, take it! The price we give will definitely be fair, and you will not be deceived."
He ignored the shopkeeper's chatter and took Su Tai's hand and went straight upstairs to the guest room.
The shopkeeper quickly called the waiter to come over and help.
People in the hall whispered about Shen Yi's identity and the cheetah, and some people whispered about Su Tai, but they shut up after a few words, for fear of being heard by Shen Yi and Su Tai upstairs.
After a while, the shopkeeper went up to deliver the food in person and handed the money from the cheetah sale to Shen Yi.
The couple ate their food and lay down to rest, but Su Tai was worried, "Do you think it's safe here?"
Shen Yi held her in his arms, "Don't worry, we just sold a cheetah. No one will dare to provoke us tonight. Have a good sleep and set off back tomorrow."
Su Tai nodded obediently, hugged Shen Yi and fell asleep.
After another day of tossing, they finally saw the Shenjiazhuang they had longed for.
When the carriage first entered the village, the villagers saw that it was Shen Yi Su Tai. They all went crazy and chased them asking questions.
The couple could only come down and walk.
Seeing villagers carrying stones and bricks on the way, Shen Yi asked: "Who has built a house?"
In the past two years, houses have been built in the village almost every month.
An old woman laughed and said, "It's not about building a house, it's about building a school. The village chief really went all out this time. He persuaded the four families in the village to build additional houses on their land. He created five acres of open space in the center of the village and said that he would build a school. It's built like your ancestral home, and now it's surrounded by walls." Shen Yi stopped by and took a look, and saw that most of the men in the village were working here.
The sound is noisy.
Shen Ying saw them and walked over happily, "We're back! Look at the village school in our village, how impressive it is! The day before yesterday, Mr. Lu, the county magistrate, came to look for you. When he saw that you didn't come back, he walked around the village twice and kept talking. He praised our village for being far-sighted and said that this school would benefit future generations, which made the old man feel embarrassed.”
Shen Ying's face glowed red, and she didn't show any embarrassment at all.
Shen Yi did not expose him and said in a deep voice: "Master Lu is urging me to go to the county government and take office?"
Shen Ying nodded slightly, "I guess so! It's just after the spring plowing and you haven't gone yet. Why shouldn't he come and ask? You can go there yourself tomorrow."
"Thank you, uncle!" After Shen Yi finished speaking, he quickly took Su Tai back.
As soon as I arrived at the door of my house, I heard the sound of Lang Lang reading from next door.
After the courtyard door opened, Shen Yuezhang happily threw herself into Su Tai's arms, "Mom and Dad, you are finally back! If you don't come back, will our family be torn apart by your younger brothers and sisters?"
The couple's hearts skipped a beat and they rushed into the yard.
"Where is it? What did they break?" The couple anxiously looked for the twins.
Shen Yuezhang took them to the kitchen house.
As soon as he stepped in, he found two small black coal briquettes rushing out from inside and being picked up one by one by Shen Yi.
Shen Congrong chased him out angrily with a shovel. When he saw Su Tai, Shen Yi collapsed instantly, "Dad! Mom! They... They ruined all the noodles I cooked, and they almost burned down the stove!"
Su Tai was startled, and finally found that the stove room was full of smoke.
The eldest and second child are also in trouble.
"Shen Yi, take them to clean up, I will handle it."
Su Tai pushed the four children away and quickly diverted water into the water to put out the fire.
When the smoke cleared, she walked out of the kitchen house with a disgraced look and scolded the four children standing in a row in the yard.
"What's going on? Who can explain?"
Shen Yuezhang was the first to stand up, "Mom, I told my younger brothers and sisters that I was going to wash clothes. The eldest brother volunteered to cook for us, and the younger brother and the younger sister said they would help."
"You said we must be diligent and not lazy." Shen Congyu defended.
Su Tai glared at him fiercely.
Shen Congyu immediately shut his mouth obediently.
Shen Yuezhang continued: "I was washing when I heard my eldest brother shouting. When I came out, I heard the sound of wooden stakes. I went to open the door for my parents. I don't know what happened?"
Su Tai laughed angrily, "You should pick yourself clean."
As she spoke, she cast her eyes on the second child, whose chest was heaving violently with anger, "Good son, if you have any grievances, just tell me, and I will make the decision for you."
Shen Congyu glanced at his mother's cat face and pointed at the twins angrily, "These two careless things, their faces turned white when I was burning firewood. I finally lit the firewood and ran to stop them from playing with their hands. When I turned around, the two of them took out the firewood from the stove, fought with torches, and knocked over my noodles, woo woo woo.”
Su Tai's face was so dark that she almost shed water.
The twins were so frightened that they huddled together and asked Shen Yi for help.
Shen Yi stretched out his hand to refuse their approach and said expressionlessly: "It's too dirty, don't touch me!"
After a while, children cried and howled in the yard.
Chu Heng, who was in class next door, put down his books and walked out worriedly. As soon as he entered the yard, he happened to see a miserable Su Tai chasing the twins all over the yard with a cane. Old Shen Yi was sitting there basking in the sun.
Greeting him very calmly, "My wife is disturbing Mr. Chu by training her son."
