Chapter 19: Strike first to gain the upper hand!
"Why are there so few? Where can we find enough food?" Shen Conglian looked at the six steamed buns in the bag and wanted to step on them a few times, but he couldn't bear to part with them.
"Father, mother, the eldest brother is too stingy. Lan Xi has sent so many things, and the eldest brother will give us this!"
Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen all had a dark face.
"I pushed your eldest brother out today. Your eldest brother must be angry!" Mr. Shen said.
Shen Conglian took two steamed buns bitterly, eating one for himself and giving the other to his beloved concubine. Mrs. Shen Conglian immediately pushed Shen Conglian, turned around and snatched it from her concubine and gave it to her child.
"Ms. Liu, you are crazy!" As soon as Shen Conglian started to scold, Mr. Shen slapped him with a stick.
"What time has it been and we are still making trouble!"
Shen Conglian glared fiercely in Liu's direction, squatted down and went to get the steamed bread, but was pushed directly by the other two brothers.
"Second brother, there are only six in total. You can take two at once. How can we divide them among so many of us?"
"Second brother, you can't just care about yourself and ignore your father, mother and children..."
There was a quarrel in other rooms of the Shen family.
The big house is not peaceful either!
"My wife is so kind, please give me two steamed buns. If you don't take the steamed buns back, my mother-in-law and my husband will definitely beat me to death!" The young woman knelt in front of the big room and banged. Kowtow loudly to the people in the big house!
This woman had already used the same method to ask for it from the government officials once and was beaten. Unexpectedly, she was now targeting them.
“We don’t have much, you can ask others for it!” Shen Yuanjing quickly took the steamed bun into his mouth.
There are a lot of things, but when they are distributed to everyone, there is only one for each person. If there is not enough, he has to eat the dry food given by the government to satisfy his hunger. How can there be any leftover for others!
"Please, if I can't take it back, not only will I be beaten, but my three-year-old child will also be beaten." The woman said as she rolled up her sleeves, and her arms were covered with blood. It was bruised, and the skin was broken and bleeding in some places.
Shen Yuantang couldn't bear to see the woman's desperate eyes, so he gave her the remaining half of the steamed buns and the rations distributed by the Yamen.
"Take these back, just this once, I will definitely not give them to you next time!"
There was a flash of disgust in the woman's eyes, as if she was afraid that Shen Yuantang would go back, so she hurriedly ran away with the food in her arms.
Nu Bai reported everything that happened on both sides to Shen Lanxi.
“Master, in fact, the wound on that woman’s arm was pinched by herself, not by her man and her mother-in-law!”
Shen Lanxi curled her lips and smiled, fearing that Chunxue and Qiu Shuang would hear, and didn't speak.
"Master, there are three teams of people coming this way from different directions!"
Shen Lanxi ate the steamed buns and meat slowly, occasionally holding two chopsticks between Chun Xue and Qiu Shuang. After eating half full of wild vegetables picked from the mountains, the rice porridge was just enough to eat, so I drank another bowl of rice porridge.
"Please guard the Shen family for a while. No matter what noise you hear, don't leave!"
Chun Xue Qiu Shuang immediately stopped eating and looked at her.
"Mother Li, take your family and follow Qiu Shuang and Chun Xue. Take your children and don't get too close to the exiled prisoners!"
Shen Lanxi arranged everything in an orderly manner!
"Sir, is something going to happen tonight?"
A few people immediately became nervous.
Shen Lanxi: "Those people didn't succeed during the day. Night is the best time!"
Chun Xue Qiu Shuang quickly stood up and looked around.
It turned dark in an instant.
“Remember what I said!” Shen Lanxi said and walked towards the mountain with the stick in hand.
Haru Xue wanted to follow, but Qiu Shuang grabbed him.
“Listen to the young master!”
They have already seen the young lady’s stick skills, and none of them will be able to compare with another hundred of them. If something really happens, they will only be able to hold us back! Shen Lanxi plunged into the mountains, just like a tiger entering the forest. With the angry white position, it was like a tiger with even more wings!
“Master, the group of people closest to us is in the col 500 meters away from us. There are 35 people in total, and two people are standing guard 30 meters away from us!”
"Angry White!"
"Here, Master!"
"Kill the two eyes first!"
"Good Master!"< br>
After locking the target, Shen Lanxi had only one word in her mind!
Kill!
The moment I tightened my grip on the long stick, it was as if my blood had awakened. It was like a wild beast was roaring and shouting inside my body. It roared through the air. There were no unnecessary movements, and the two sticks were swung cleanly and neatly. , as two figures fell to the ground, two lives had been harvested!
“Nu Bai announced that the positions of the remaining thirty-three people have been locked!”
Shen Lanxi pulled her long stick and charged!
A figure as fast as lightning, stepping on the wind and the moon, flew past the thirty-three people like an eagle spreading its wings. Before the thirty-three people could react, a quarter of them had already become dead souls under the stick.
Even if they reacted later, they could not withstand Shen Lanxi's overwhelming offensive, and they were all harvested in the blink of an eye!
The supplies they carried with them could not be spared, and all weapons, dry food, money and money were confiscated.
The thirty-five people had nothing on their bodies that could identify them, and hiding poison in their teeth was a tactic used by the dead.
"Nu Bai, there are two teams left!"
"Received, the remaining two teams have been locked. The one closest to us is in the hinterland of the other side of the hillside, with a total of twenty people. The two of them are on sentry duty!"
With a few moves, Shen Lanxi flew hundreds of feet away and disappeared into the forest like a ghost in the blink of an eye.

When Chunxue and Qiu Shuang came over, Liu Laohu had already noticed it. His hunch was right, he was indeed going to take action tonight.
Just when he was about to warn his brothers, Haruyuki and the others stopped at a not too far away distance. Liu Laohu waited for a long time, but they no longer took a step forward.
Could it be that his prediction was wrong?
A shot of arrow soon dispelled Liu Laohu's doubts. That cut directly shot the fake Wei Jiajun who was tied to the back of the carriage to death.
Chun Xue Qiu Shuang immediately lined up the horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts in the direction of the arrows, blocking the way of the exiled prisoners.
If you can no longer tell who is the enemy or friend, Liu Laohu, the leader of the team, should stop messing around.
“You guys herd all the prisoners together!”
“Listen, you guys who have been stabbed a thousand times, whoever dares to move around will be shot to death with random arrows. It’s not your fault that your grandfather didn’t warn you. You! "
Liu Laohu shouted and ran quickly in the direction of Chunxue Qiushuang.
The exiled prisoners immediately became a mess.
"They must have come to kill the Shen family. It's all the Shen family's fault!" Some prisoners took the opportunity to retaliate and caught the nearest Shen family member and beat them.
The government officials drew their knives and threatened them, which frightened other prisoners who were about to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the Shen family.
The events that happened one after another today have made the Shen family so frightened that they no longer dare to cry openly.
"There is an attack. Where is your young master?" There were only a few people following Shen Lanxi. Liu Laohu looked around but did not find Shen Lanxi, so he immediately rushed up to question the two of them.
Chun Xue Qiu Shuang had been anxious for a long time. Just as she was about to rush out to help, Shen Lanxi appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye.
After Liu Laohu saw it clearly, his heart skipped a beat.
Shen Lanxi was holding a long stick in her right hand. There was no leaf on her body, except for the long stick in her hand, which was dripping with blood, as if it had been fished out of a pool of blood.
