Chapter 27 In troubled times, humans are more terrifying than wolves!
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows and looked at the bookish young man. She remembered that when he was at the inn, he held up the soles of his shoes and shouted that whoever grabbed them belongs to him, shouting the loudest!
"You are an exiled prisoner and I am a businessman. We are on different paths!"
The young man clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Before I was exiled, I was just promoted to the position of a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs. I’m lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the young master in Lord Shen’s house!”
This man recognized her!
"What's your name?" she asked, lowering her eyes.
Liu Yanhui cupped his fists and saluted: "My surname is Liu, and the wild goose will eventually return to Yanhui, Liu Yanhui!"
Shen Lanxi looked at Liu Yanhui, with a gleam in her eyes.
"I have taken note of you, go back and wait for news!"
Liu Yanhui did not rush to fight for himself, and respectfully stepped down!
Turning around, she asked Qiu Shuang to go to her father to ask for news.
"Sir, I said that Liu Yanhui was promoted to the Ministry of Household Affairs just half a year ago. Before that, he had been sitting on the bench and was responsible for the file management of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It happened that the northwest Wei family army food and salary file that he was responsible for closing disappeared. The master said He was also implicated by the Shen family! "
Liu Yanhui made it clear that he came to seek refuge. If he was implicated as his father said, Liu Yan responded that he should hate the Shen family to death.
He is very smart. The smarter a person is, the harder it is to control him. She will not let anyone who threatens her be around. Liu Yanhui should use it with caution!
The people who bought supplies came back and set off immediately.
On the way to Jinmen, there are high mountains and ridges, especially the famous stone mountains. Although the vegetation on the mountains is sparse, there are wolves. More importantly, there are often bandits nearby, so No one dares to venture into those mountains unless they are cornered. People living nearby would rather take a detour of hundreds of miles and walk ten more days and nights than take a shortcut.
Shen Lanxi chose this path and gave Liu Laohu a heavy and convincing explanation.
"Brother Liu, in troubled times, humans are more terrifying than wolves!"
Liu Laohu immediately walked to the front with a whip to clear the way. As he walked, he flicked his whip and shouted: "Who doesn't want to If you take this road, dig a hole and bury yourself as soon as possible, so as to avoid taking other roads and becoming food for the refugees!”
The exiled prisoners who were clamoring just now have all shrunk into small pieces. The little quail didn't dare to say another word!
Walking on Stone Mountain was a waste of shoes and feet. I used to laugh at the women for tearing off people's clothes and wearing shoes. Now I watched those people take out their boots one by one. If they didn't fit, they tore up their clothes and stuffed them into their shoes. I can't laugh anymore.
They all bared their teeth, endured the blood blisters on their soles, and gritted their teeth as they walked forward.
Compared with other prisoners, the Shen family is the most comfortable. They have new shoes with thousand-layer soles on their feet, new clothes on their bodies, and the owner of the house is wearing a straw hat to protect him from the sun. If it weren’t for the government officials guarding them, they would have just gone out for a spring outing!
Some people are not satisfied yet.
Shen Conglian went to his elder brother Shen Congwen: "Brother, when Lan Xi asks someone to deliver something again, tell her to let her father and mother ride in the car. It's really not an option for us to take turns carrying it like this!" He couldn't carry it anyway! move!
Shen Congwen refused straightforwardly: "No, others just had no objections to our Shen family, and you came to make people hate you again. When you wanted to go to the toilet, you were beaten!"
Big Brother It's really hard not to mention something. When he went to the toilet, he was beaten by someone who didn't know how to kill him. Even now, his ribs still hurt when he takes a breath!
"Brother, I see that Lan Xi and Liu Laohu have a good relationship. No one will dare to attack us again. Although we carry our parents on our backs, it is not as comfortable as riding in a car. Mother has to eat for these two days. There is very little food and very little water to drink. I am afraid that my parents will not be able to bear it for a long time!”
Shen Congwen sighed when he thought of his father and mother’s age, but in the end he did not refuse!
At noon, Li’s mother came back from delivering food and told Shen Congwen’s words truthfully.
Shen Lanxi didn't like them, so she went to Liu Laohu in person, and the next day she fasted for the Shen family!
Shen Congyi immediately approached Shen Congwen and asked, "Brother, why hasn't Lan Xi been asked to deliver food?"
Shen Congwen's face turned black with anger. "The government officials must have been offended by letting my father and mother ride in the car yesterday, so they didn't let Lan Xi deliver food to us today. If it weren't for your bad idea, would this be possible? You still have the nerve to question me?"
Shen Congyi's eyes flashed with panic, and he thought anxiously in his heart, will the Yamen never let Lan Xi deliver food and water to them again?
What the hell!
"It's not like I had to let my father and mother ride in the car. Even if my eldest brother has a grudge in his heart, he shouldn't take it out on me!"
Shen Congwen looked at his fourth brother coldly: "That's Did you come up with the idea to ask the officer to push me out?"
Shen Congyi didn't expect that his elder brother would know about it. His eyes flickered and he didn't dare to confront him. He explained randomly: "Brother, don't accuse people unjustly. It's obvious. It's the concubine of the third family who said it. It has nothing to do with me. Even if the eldest brother is unhappy, don't take it out on me!" After Shen Congyi said this, he quickly threw up his sleeves and left!
The temperature is getting hotter and hotter. Not only people need to drink water, but the horses pulling the carts also need to drink water. One horse can support the water consumption of more than ten people, and the water in the cart is consumed very quickly.
Shen Lanxi decided to ride a horse to explore the road ahead to find water!
After she left, the Shen family was a little panicked.
Could Lan Xi have run away and left them alone?
They then remembered that they were the ones who should be exiled, and the imperial edict did not say that Lan Xi should be exiled. Everyone looked anxiously at the direction Shen Lanxi left, hoping that she would come back soon!
After Shen Lanxi ran out for a while, she first carried a bucket of water from the space to feed the horse. I grabbed another bottle of vitamin C drink and energy bar to fill my stomach.
"Nu Bai, explore the way!"
"Master received it!"
"There is nothing for five kilometers around. Climb over this stone mountain, at the foot of the mountain There is a water pool that is about to dry up, and there are animal paw prints around it! It’s beyond the scope of Nu Bai’s exploration!”
Shen Lanxi: “Is there a tail following her?”
On the road at night, she Several tails have been dealt with. When Liu Laohu went to Yongcheng just now to brush his face, there must be tails hanging behind him!
Nu Bai: "Yes, they have just entered the detection range. Master, do you want to deal with them?"
Shen Lanxi curled her lips: "That goes without saying~" I chose this road just to let the people behind me Tails, all buried on the stone mountain!
Nu Bai locked the position, and Shen Lanxi set off on horseback.
An hour later, she found Liu Laohu.
“Climbing over the stone mountain, there is a water pool at the foot of the mountain that is almost drying up. It is the only water source nearby!”
Liu Laohu breathed a sigh of relief, it’s good to have water!
I didn’t encounter any refugees along the way, which is even better!
"Get up and set off quickly. We can climb over this stone mountain before dark. There is water at the foot of the mountain."
When we heard that there was water, everyone became more energetic. Liu Laohu also untied the rope. Anyone who dared to run in the barren mountains and wild mountains would die.
Without the rope, the speed was much faster than before.
Shen Lanxi proposed that the elderly, weak, women and children should be transported by carriage in batches first, and Liu Laohu agreed.
With the assistance of the carriage, the speed was faster, and everyone arrived at the small water pool before it got dark!
