181-190

Chapter 181 She hates everyone

Lin Xuezhu originally said it as a joke, but unexpectedly, Lin Chengyao took it seriously.

He thought of how he had neglected his biological son, and suddenly the hair on his face stood up.

Although Xiao Xuan'er will not murder her biological father like Lin Xuelan did.

But maybe, when he gets older, unable to move, and needs someone to take care of him, Xiao Xuan'er will leave him alone?

Thinking of this, Lin Chengyao couldn't help but grimace.

As soon as Lin Xuezhu saw his uncle's appearance, he knew that he was thinking about something weird again.

He immediately laughed and said nothing.

She glanced at Mei Yun seemingly unintentionally.

Today is the day for the people sent by King Qing to contact Mei Yun.

Therefore, Mei Yun's state seemed very tense.

I only ate two hurried bites of the dry food I bought from the official, and then started to look around.

She looked so guilty as to be a thief, wishing she had something on her mind written on her face.

Lin Xuezhu glanced at Yuan Xiu and saw that he was also paying attention to Mei Yun.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and they understood each other tacitly.

Yuan Xiu had already ordered Lu Mo to follow Mei Yun if there was any movement.

That would be enough if Mei Yun reported according to his instructions.

If she talks nonsense, kill her along with the messenger.

At night, almost everyone in the exile team fell asleep.

On the other side of the mountain, three cuckoo calls sounded.

After hearing the cry, Mei Yun jumped up.

After looking around, I saw that everyone was asleep, and then I quietly climbed over the mountain.

Lu Mo waited for her to leave and followed her quickly.

Lin Xuezhu, who was in the carriage, gently lowered the curtain and waited quietly with Yuan Xiu.

Suddenly, she heard a rustling sound coming from outside the carriage.

Lin Xuezhu was about to go out to check, but Yuan Xiu stopped her, lifted the curtain of the car and got out.

Seeing that he hadn't forgotten to carry a bamboo pole and pretended to be lame, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but give her a thumbs up in her heart.

What a rigorous male protagonist!

She followed Yuan Xiu out of the carriage.

The two walked around the carriage, but saw nothing.

Just as Lin Xuezhu was wondering, Yuan Xiu suddenly dwarfed and fished someone out from under the car.

Lin Xuezhu took a closer look and found out who this was if it wasn't Lin Xuelan!

She was a little irritable.

Is this Lin Xuelan still haunting and determined to rely on her family?

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuezhu asked with a frown.

Lin Xuelan's body shrank and she glanced in Zhou Shenyi's direction with great fear.

Shivering, Lin Xuezhu said, "The official, the official has gone to bed. I, I'm scared."

Lin Xuezhu understood.

Co-author Lin Xuelan was afraid of Zhou Shenyi, so she got under her and Yuan Xiu's carriage to seek shelter.

What, did she and Yuan Xiu ward off evil spirits?

Lin Xuezhu sneered, showing no sympathy for Lin Xuelan at all.

She asked ruthlessly: "You think Zhou Shenyi will do harm to you, but we won't?"

Lin Xuelan trembled and glanced at Lin Xuezhu blankly.

Lin Xuezhu didn't want to talk nonsense to her, so she reached into her arms and took out a small medicine bottle from the space.

He grabbed Lin Xuelan's chin and poured it into her mouth.

Lin Xuelan didn't react at first.

After smelling the strange smell emanating from the medicine bottle, he suddenly started struggling hard.

Lin Xuezhu increased his strength on his hands.

While filling Lin Xuelan with medicine, he said: "I was planning to save your life for the sake of your sister. But now that you have offended the only person who sympathized with you, I have no scruples anymore. Here is a bottle Chronic poison, you will die silently, just like your father."

Lin Xuelan was so frightened that even though she struggled hard, some of the medicine still flowed into her mouth.

Suddenly, the desire to survive stimulated her potential.

She risked dislocating her jaw and tried her best to break free from Lin Xuezhu's restraints.

Then, he rolled forward and crawled forward.

When she escaped to a safe area, she looked back and saw that Lin Xuezhu had not chased her.

Then he spit out the medicine that had flowed into his throat with a roar.

She was still afraid that her vomiting would not be clean enough, so she put her hand into her throat and mixed it up for a long time.

He didn't give up until he vomited out all the acidic water in his stomach.

After doing this, Lin Xuelan leaned against the tree trunk exhausted, her chest heaving violently, and she was breathing heavily.

Her eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of Zhou Shenyi, and she met his sinister gaze directed at her.

It turns out that he has been monitoring her every move!

A deep chill rushed to Lin Xuelan's back.

Lin Xuelan subconsciously wanted to escape Zhou Shenyi's sight, but she was also afraid that he would make some small move when she couldn't see him.

After struggling like this for a long time, Lin Xuelan finally couldn't stand it any longer and shed tears of grievance.

She didn't dare cry loudly for fear of irritating Zhou Shenyi, so she could only hug herself and let the tears flow down her arms.

Why?

Why do everyone do this to her?

She has lost everything, why would anyone target her?

She hates it.

She hated those people who had taken away what belonged to her.

She hated her parents and grandmother for not being able to protect her.

He hated Zhou Shenyi and lied to her and tortured her.

He hated the official position and refused to seek justice for her.

She hated everyone in the exile team for turning a blind eye to her suffering.

Lin Xuelan resented everything and hated everyone.

However, the pain in her heart not only did not decrease, but actually increased.

Finally, she glanced at Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu's carriage with resentment.

At this moment, she noticed a black figure flashing into the carriage.

Lin Xuelan's eyes suddenly widened.

She felt that the figure looked like Lu Mo.

But it was so late, why was Lu Mo going to his cousin's car?

Lin Xuelan was no longer sleepy in an instant, and took advantage of the cover of night to stare at the carriage.

After a while, the black shadow jumped out of the carriage, sat directly by the bonfire, and began to watch the night.

In the light of the fire, Lin Xuelan saw Lu Mo's face.

Just when she was confused, she saw Mei Yun coming back from the direction Lu Mo came back from and slowly walked out.

Mei Yun glanced around.

Then, very cautiously, he chose a place a little far away from the team and sat down.

After a while, Mei Yun leaned against a big stone and closed her eyes.

Lin Xuelan's eyes rolled.

She expected that there must be some ulterior secret between Yuan Xiu, Lin Xuezhu, and Mei Yun.

If she could find out this secret, she might be able to catch Lin Xuezhu.

With the handle in hand, let's see how Lin Xuezhu can still be arrogant in front of her!

Hope suddenly rekindled in Lin Xuelan's heart.

She immediately stood up and cautiously approached Mei Yun.

Mei Yun was not asleep yet, when she heard movement, she opened her eyes.

Seeing that the person coming was Lin Xuelan, she turned her head to the other side in disgust.

If it hadn't been for this man's nonsense, she and her sister wouldn't have offended Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu because of a piece of false news.

If Yuan Xiu didn't hate her sisters for spreading rumors, he wouldn't have been cruel and pushed her sister to the cliff.

Chapter 182 Beware of people approaching you at this time

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu listened to Lu Mo's report and knew that Mei Yun had settled the matter according to Yuan Xiu's instructions.

Although Mei Yun is not smart, she still knows how to weigh the pros and cons and understands what is more beneficial to herself.

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "Prince Yan and Prince Qing have completely different styles of doing things."

Prince Yan wanted to investigate Yuan Xiu, so he directly had him taken away from the exile team, and he also wanted to abuse lynching. He had no scruples.

Prince Qing took another approach, both planning and foreshadowing. He always wanted to inquire from the side and was sneaky.

After hearing Lin Xuezhu's words, Yuan Xiu smiled coldly.

He said expressionlessly: "King Yan is the emperor's younger brother and is highly trusted, so there is no need to worry about it. Prince Qing is different. He may not be of the same mind as the emperor, so he does not dare to investigate in a big way."

Lin Xuezhu knew these analyses. Be aware.

But she only found out about it after reading the novel, and Yuan Xiu didn't have a script.

What he relies on is the information network and the ability to discern people's hearts.

Lin Xuezhu couldn't help but sigh in her heart: The male protagonist is the male protagonist, with both strength and ability.

"Husband, do you know what they want to investigate?" Lin Xuezhu asked knowingly.

Yuan Xiu looked at her as if unintentionally, and said solemnly: "The treasury was stolen, and the emperor thinks it was me."

Oh, the hero finally knew it!

Lin Xuezhu rolled her eyes and felt that her little cleverness would make her look like a stupid elder sister in Yuan Xiu's eyes.

She quickly changed the subject and said: "Then King Yan checked you once, why is there no more news?"

Ordinarily, King Yan and King Qing have a competitive relationship.

However, King Yan thought that King Qing wanted to compete with him for credit, but he did not know that King Qing was aiming for his brother's position.

Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu amusedly and asked, "Ma'am, are you sure you want me to talk?"

This topic started to get talked about, but he didn't know who was going to embarrass him.

Lin Xuezhu knew what he was referring to and said harshly: "Just say it, am I afraid of you?"

In this case, Yuan Xiu said: "King Yan was chased all over the mountain by a group of mad dogs on Zhuangzi, and he fell seriously ill from fear. He is still in the capital to take care of his health. The palace doctors are going in and out of Prince Yan's house like a revolving door, using countless precious medicinal materials and supplements, but Prince Yan's health has not improved yet. Madam, tell me, he can still check. What?"

After saying that, Yuan Xiu looked at Lin Xuezhu with a half-smile.

Lin Xuezhu avoided his sight and muttered in a low voice, "Oh, that King Yan is quite unlucky."

Yuan Xiu knew that she was pretending to be confused, so he didn't reveal it, only lowered his head and smiled secretly.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuezhu was embarrassed for a moment, and then asked: "What about Prince Qing? What news do you have?"

"What do you mean?" Yuan Xiu asked knowingly.

Lin Xuezhu wanted to ask what King Qing's mental state was like and whether he had collapsed like King Yan.

But if you ask that, you will inevitably have to tell her about her move out of Prince Qing's Mansion, which is a bit troublesome.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xuezhu said: "Forget it, he should be living well."

The fact that he can still go out to do things shows that he is healthy and at least not bedridden.

Yuan Xiu smiled and said nothing.

Lin Xuezhu thought of Mei Yun, so she lifted the car curtain and took a look outside.

This was a good look, just as Lin Xuelan fumbled her way to Mei Yun's side.

Are two people who are not accepted by the team hugging each other for warmth again?

Lin Xuezhu smiled lightly, closed the car curtain gently, hugged the pillow and prepared to sleep.

At this time, Mei Yun was asking Lin Xuelan rudely: "What are you doing here?"

Lin Xuelan put on a smile and said, "Sister Mei Yun, I have parted ways with Zhou Shenyi now. Neither you nor I will be accepted by this team. "How about we work together to make a living?"

After hearing this, Mei Yun sneered and said, "Miss Lin, you have hit a wall at every turn, and now you are planning on me? I don't need to join forces with you, I can do it myself?" If you can make a living, you should rest."

Lin Xuelan originally thought that Mei Yun had no choice but to hug herself for warmth.

Unexpectedly, Mei Yun seemed to rely on her and didn't take her seriously at all.

Lin Xuelan's mind turned, thinking that Mei Yun was leaning on Lin Xuezhu, right?

Damn it, Lin Xuezhu doesn't accept her own family, but she accepts a girl like this with unknown origins!

Lin Xuelan felt even more resentful when she thought of this.

But she hasn't achieved her goal yet, so she won't leave easily.

So, licking her face, she asked: "Sister Mei Yun, I just saw you going far away alone. You have to be careful. Even if there are no people in the mountains, there will be wild beasts. You are a little girl, what if?" What should I do if I encounter a wild beast?"

Mei Yung was already nervous when she met Prince Qing's people.

Hearing that Lin Xuelan had seen him, he immediately became even more nervous.

She stared at Lin Xuelan defensively and said displeasedly: "Why are you staring at others when you don't sleep at night? Do I have to report to you where I am going?"

Seeing her being so excited, Lin Xuelan was even more sure that she, Lin Xuezhu and others Something fishy.

Then she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "I just saw you by chance and wanted to remind you. Since you don't accept my kindness, you don't have to say bad things to me."

Mei Yun obviously didn't like her and said with disgust. : "Is there anything else? If nothing happens, I'm going to bed. Please give way."

Lin Xuelan found nothing and felt very unwilling.

But think about it, you can't rush things like catching people.

Mei Yun was wary of her, so she decided to take a long time to catch the big fish and catch it slowly.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuelan forced a smile and said gently: "Then don't disturb sister Mei Yun's rest. If anything happens in the future and she needs me, she can come to me."

After saying that, she smiled . Gone.

The moment she turned her head, all the smiles disappeared from her face, revealing a look of disdain.

What kind of mean girl in the village was bossing her around!

Behind her, Mei Yun responded to her with the same expression.

I don't even have enough to eat, so why are you talking nonsense?

Mei Yun felt tired and fell asleep holding the big stone.

Lin Xuelan didn't dare to sleep, for fear that Zhou Shenyi would hurt her as soon as she closed her eyes.

I spent the whole night in such fear.

The next morning, Lin Xuelan walked on the road like a zombie with two dark circles under her eyes.

Lin Xuezhu walked quietly to Mei Yun and asked, "Is Prince Qing okay?"

Mei Yun was startled by her, and her body shook involuntarily.

Subconsciously replied: "I don't know about this matter."

"Then what do you know about?" Lin Xuezhu asked back.

Mei Yun's heart skipped a beat and became cold.

It's over, Mrs. Lin thinks she is useless and despises her.

Mei Yun suddenly shrank.

Seeing her timid look, Lin Xuezhu reminded her: "My husband's affairs, my husband's affairs, and Prince Qing's affairs are all matters that will make you lose your head if you get involved in them. If you want to survive, the best way is to close your mind." Keep your mouth shut."

Seeing that Mei Yun still didn't understand, she pointed it out directly, "Beware of people approaching you at this time."

Chapter 183 Knowing something you shouldn't know

After Lin Xuezhu reminded her, Mei Yun suddenly reacted.

Lin Xuelan came to show her kindness, was she planning to get some words out of her?

Mei Yun thought so and glanced at Lin Xuelan.

Lin Xuelan had also been paying attention to her, and when she saw her looking over, she smiled gently.

But I was thinking: There is indeed something fishy between Mei Yun and Lin Xuezhu.

Mei Yun took a look and found that Lin Xuelan was really staring at her, and she became even more defensive.

One of the two wanted to trick someone, the other wanted not to be tricked. They both had their own agendas and were both uneasy.

Mei Yun was busy guarding against Lin Xuelan, but she didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.

In the evening, after the team set up camp, the official briefly explained the itinerary to everyone.

If we walk for another day tomorrow, we will be able to walk out of the mountains.

The most difficult and dangerous part of the exile is finally coming to an end.

Everyone cheered and cheered, as happy as the New Year.

After all, no one wants to worry about traveling all the time.

Moreover, because of the steep mountains, no one had been able to find food for many days.

Some detachments with insufficient food reserves had to live on steamed buns distributed by officers.

All in all, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the end of this physically and mentally exhausting journey.

That night, everyone went to bed early.

The campground was very quiet, except for the occasional crackle of the campfire.

Mei Yun turned over, feeling a little urgent to urinate. She looked around, found a place where no one was, and ran there.

After solving her internal crisis, she planned to return to the camp, but she heard a rustling sound in the grass behind her.

Just as Mei Yun was about to turn around, her vision suddenly went dark, and a huge dizziness hit her.

Using her last strength, she saw clearly that the person coming was Zhou Shenyi.

"You, what do you want to do?" Mei Yun's consciousness gradually pulled away.

Zhou Shenyi smiled sadly, picked up a big stone from behind and patted Mei Yun on the head.

Mei Yun instantly lost consciousness.

However, Zhou Shenyi held up the stone and continued to slap her on the head.

Once, twice, three times...

until Mei Yun's head became bloody and bloody, and it was even difficult to distinguish her appearance.

Seeing that the person was completely dead, Zhou Shenyi put his hand into Mei Yun's clothes and groped roughly.

Finally, he touched a small package of something hard.

I took it out and looked at it in the moonlight. It turned out to be silver.

Zhou Shenyi's face showed an ecstatic expression.

This girl really has money, no wonder she can eat enough without having to do anything all day long.

It was no wonder that he had been observing for several days before he found such an opportunity to take action!

With the money, he can enter the city.

If he goes into the city and finds Zhou Ji's shop, he can regain his identity as the eldest young master of the Zhou family.

And sooner or later, he will liquidate those who have harmed him one by one!

Zhou Shenyi put the silver in his arms, turned around and ran down the mountain.

He was so panicked and anxious that he didn't pay attention to his steps.

When he stepped on a loose stone, his right foot slid forward uncontrollably, and he did a split on the spot.

Heartbreaking.

Zhou Shenyi gritted his teeth hard, but still couldn't hold it back and let out a roar.

He was hunched over and lying on the ground, unable to move.

I don't know how much time passed, but he gradually recovered from the pain.

Just as he was about to get up and continue on the road, he saw someone standing in front of him.

Zhou Shenyi was so frightened that when he saw who was coming, his heart suddenly went cold.

"Lu, Lu Mo?"

Zhou Shenyi had a premonition that he couldn't run away.

Lu Mo looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly, "Mr. Zhou, where are you going at this late hour?"

"Relieve, relieve yourself." Zhou Shenyi lied unconvincingly.

Lu Mo didn't bother to argue with him, so he just said, "Did Young Master Zhou finish the solution?"

"It's done." Zhou Shenyi said guiltily.

This time, he walked back automatically without waiting for Lu Mo to speak.

Because he knew that when Lu Mo took action, the scene would become ugly.

Zhou Shenyi walked in front, and Lu Mo followed behind.

The scene was no different from an officer escorting a prisoner.

When he arrived at the camp, Zhou Shenyi saw Hu Santong walking towards him.

Hu Santong's tall figure made Zhou Shenyi look more and more vulgar.

He reached out, dug into Zhou Shenyi's arms, and accurately took out the money he had hidden.

"What are you going to do? This is my money."

Zhou Shenyi has never had such a dedicated feeling for money in his life.

That was his life-saving money.

He subconsciously wanted to reach out and take it back.

However, Hu Santong was so tall that even if he jumped up, he couldn't get the money back.

Hu Santong gave him a slight push and almost pushed him over.

Just listen to Lu Mo say: "Do you want me to tell you where this money came from?"

Zhou Shenyi instantly became speechless.

Hu Santong put the money away and planned to hand it over to Lin Xuezhu at dawn.

He winked at Zhou Shenyi and motioned him to return to his position.

Zhou Shenyi had no choice but to go back unwillingly and resigned to his fate.

Happiness comes so hard but goes so hastily.

The glimmer of hope he finally ignited was extinguished before it could turn into joy.

Hu Santong sat back by the bonfire again, his eyes glancing around from time to time.

He was glad that he made the right decision.

When he found out that Zhou Shenyi had left and hadn't returned for a long time, he woke up Lu Mo.

As expected, the grandson wanted to escape.

The next morning, when the team was about to set off, Lin Xuelan discovered that Mei Yun was missing.

She was staring at Mei Yun and Zhou Shenyi last night, but she didn't know when she fell asleep.

When she woke up, Zhou Shenyi was still there, but Mei Yun was nowhere to be found.

Lin Xuelan vaguely remembered that Mei Yun seemed to have gone to relieve herself nearby last night.

So, she slowly searched along the direction in her memory.

When she saw a bloody corpse wearing Mei Yun's clothes, she couldn't help but scream.

That cry alarmed everyone in the exile team.

The officer heard the cry and hurriedly went to check.

Lin Xuelan was seen running over with disheveled hair like a madman.

"Kill, kill someone." Lin Xuelan bumped into the official.

Several officials looked at each other and hurriedly ran up to check.

When they found out that the deceased was Mei Yun, they exchanged a calm look.

It's better if he's not a prisoner, otherwise, it will be another difficult case.

Not surprised, the official escorted Lin Xuelan back to the camp.

Lin Xuelan was shocked, but what frightened her even more was that she found Zhou Shenyi staring at her, his sinister eyes full of threats.

Lin Xuelan instantly remembered that she seemed to have seen Zhou Shenyi leave the camp before Mei Yun last night.

So...

Lin Xuelan realized something, and her whole body suddenly shook like chaff.

It's over. She knew something she shouldn't know. Could Zhou Shenyi be thinking of killing someone and silencing her?

Just when Lin Xuelan was feeling uneasy, Liu Kui had already listened to the report from his subordinates and learned that the person who died was Mei Yun.

He didn't take it seriously, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Get on the road!"

Chapter 184 Her scalp went numb after just one look.

Lin Xuelan listened to Lu Mo and Hu Santong talk about what happened last night, and knew that Mei Yun was harmed by Zhou Shenyi.

To be honest, she wasn't surprised.

Mei Yun was not the only one killed by Zhou Shenyi.

He is the kind of person who does not care about the life and death of others for his own benefit.

He could not touch the exiled prisoners, otherwise he would be questioned by officials.

Then Mei Yun is undoubtedly his best target.

The fact was just as he expected, the official had no time to care about Mei Yun's life and death.

In the exile team, no one even noticed Mei Yun's absence.

A living person died so quietly.

Lin Xuezhu did not take the money from Hu Santong's hand, but simply said: "Please bury the person, this money should be regarded as the burial expenses that Mei Yun gave you."

Although the Mei sisters did not do well, But both were poor people who were taken advantage of.

Especially Mei Yun, everyone is dead, so just give her a burial place.

Hu Santong thanked Lin Xuezhu profusely and turned to look for his two brothers.

The three brothers quickly dug a hole and buried Mei Yun.

Then he opened the small purse and counted the money inside.

Although they are all broken silver, there are enough three taels!

Hu Yitong cherished the money.

After all, when the three brothers first embarked on the road to exile, they only had a few copper coins on them.

Now this is tantamount to getting rich.

Hu Yitong gave each of his two brothers one tael of silver and asked them to keep it carefully.

He learned this from Miss Xuezhu.

What did Miss Xuezhu say at that time?

You can't put all your eggs in the same basket.

He thinks it makes sense.

After the three brothers finished their work, most of the people in the exile team set off.

The Lin family habitually falls at the end of the queue.

The road is getting easier and easier.

At noon, the exile team entered a forest.

The forest is very big and it will take an entire afternoon to get out.

As usual, the official distributed steamed buns to everyone, and everyone found a cool place to eat.

While eating, I suddenly heard a snapping sound.

Then, a man jumped up and screamed.

"Snake, there is a snake, the snake fell on my head!"

He shouted, making others jump in fright.

Everyone looked in the direction of the man.

As a result, it was better not to look at it, but at a glance, goosebumps appeared on everyone's back.

I saw the snake that fell on the man's head twisting and circling on the ground.

And on the crown of the big tree the man was leaning against, there were more than a dozen snakes of different colors entwined.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly looked over their heads.

This sight made everyone even more terrified.

Almost every big tree in this area has anywhere from a few to a dozen snakes hanging on it.

The sheer number and variety are simply eye-opening.

Fortunately, the Lin family was having lunch with people on their backs in the carriage, so they were not so frightened.

Lin Xuezhu opened the car curtain and took a look outside.

When she saw it, everyone was running out of the woods like crazy.

Lin Xuezhu quickly asked Yan Da and others to hold the horses and not hit anyone.

When they were almost gone, she took a closer look.

Good guy, this is a snake's nest.

Lin Xuezhu quickly shouted to the carriage next to her: "Uncle and aunt, do you need snake bones, snake gallbladder, snake oil or anything for medicine? If you need it, don't miss this good opportunity, pick some and let's chop them up and take them away."

Lin Chengyao and Jiang Qishuang opened the I glanced out from the car curtain and suddenly got goosebumps all over my body.

But I have to say that there is some truth in what the eldest niece said.

It would be hard to miss such a rich group of snakes.

After Liu Kui heard what Lin Xuezhu shouted, he rolled his eyes helplessly.

This Lady Lin, there is nothing in the world that she is afraid of, right?

Looking at the other prisoners, they were so frightened that they peeed and ran outside when they saw a snake.

She is the only one who is still in the mood to think about snake gall and snake oil!

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and the snakes on the tree began to snap and fall down.

This sight shocked him so much that he shouted hastily: "Ms. Lin, get out quickly, there are a lot of venomous snakes here."

"Got it!" Lin Xuezhu responded, and then Yan Da and others drove the carriage out of the woods.

After they left, snakes continued to fall from the trees.

There are even ones emerging from under leaves and holes in the soil.

Lin Xuezhu met Liu Kui and asked, "My lord, was this the same situation when you escorted prisoners to exile before?"

"Never." Liu Kui was surprised and confused.

Lin Xuezhu thought about the animal world she had seen in her previous life.

Snakes appear in groups, or during hibernation, and everyone huddles together to stay warm.

Or it is the mating period after hibernation, in order to facilitate the selection of mates.

But it's almost autumn now, so it shouldn't be the mating season for animals.

And whether it is hibernation or mating, it should occur between snakes of the same species.

There can't be so many varieties of snakes. Do you want to do a cross?

Lin Xuezhu thought about it and felt that if human factors were eliminated, there was only one possibility - an earthquake.

However, she didn't remember the earthquake scene in the novel.

Moreover, if there were a large number of snakes nearby, it was impossible for Liu Kui to escort prisoners back and forth without seeing snakes.

Could it be that these snakes were put here artificially?

But who could be so boring, and what is this person's purpose?

Lin Xuezhu thought for a while but had no answer.

So he turned around and asked Yuan Xiu, "Husband, can you stab a snake with a bamboo stick?"

Yuan Xiu replied calmly: "You can try it, just practice it."

Hitting a snake within seven inches, with such a distance and such accuracy, is not possible It's a perfect training opportunity.

After hearing what Yuan Xiu said, Lin Xuezhu gave him a thumbs up in her heart.

The male protagonist is the male protagonist, and he will always work harder and be more successful than the male co-star.

In this case, she was not polite.

"Lu Mo, get ready."

Following Yuan Xiu's order, countless bamboo sticks were shot at the group of snakes from two directions.

Some snakes died on the ground, and some were shot from trees.

In short, under the shocked eyes of the officials and prisoners, Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo killed dozens of snakes in the blink of an eye.

Yan Da took the three brothers of the Hu family, each holding a long bamboo pole, and stood outside the woods picking out dead snakes inside.

Even when they were fighting, Yan Da said to Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo, "Kill the people outside, they are easy to find."

Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo also cooperated. If Yan Da said to kill the people outside, they would shoot them. The killing distance is shortened, making it easier for the four of them to search.

After a while, Yan Da and the three Hu brothers picked up a large basket of colorful snakes.

Yan Da put the basket on Lin Chengyao's car and said in a rough voice: "Second Master, can you see if these can be used?"

Lin Chengyao only glanced at the basket, his scalp went numb, and his whole body began to tremble unconsciously.

"Snake, snakes are different, and medicines have different effects. Yes, you have to choose." He stuttered.

Chapter 185: I don't know which part of my brain is wrong.

Seeing that Lin Chengyao was useless again, Jiang Qishuang quickly translated for him.

"Different snakes have different medicinal effects. There are useful ones here. Pick them up first and then choose."

"Yes!" Yan Da agreed happily.

Seeing Lin Chengyao's face turning pale, he quickly took the basket of snakes to his car.

Worried, another big stone was placed on it.

Then he went back to pick up snakes.

The four of them are all good at making ends meet. Even if the snake was thrown into the basket, they still did not forget to pull out the bamboo stick.

Fearing that the snake was poisonous, they did not dare to touch the tip of the bamboo stick. They held the butt of the bamboo stick and replenished some ammunition for Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo.

"You two, be careful." Lin Xuezhu warned.

Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo knew what they were doing, so they acted quickly and threw out a batch of recovered bamboo sticks.

Lin Xuezhu said to Mother Ma through the car curtain: "Snake skin can be used as bags and shoes. Let's study it later?"

"Okay." Mother Ma answered hesitantly.

To be honest, she is afraid of snakes.

Just seeing that naked, twisting body made me feel terrified.

But Miss Xuezhu said she wanted snakeskin bags and snakeskin shoes, but she couldn't refuse.

Who can resist the beautiful, smart, witty and kind Miss Xuezhu!

Mother Ma's hands were trembling where Lin Xuezhu couldn't see her.

But her abnormality was still noticed by Lin Xuezhu.

She asked keenly: "Mother Ma, are you afraid?"

Mother Ma hesitated.

She wanted to complete the task assigned by Miss Xuezhu no matter what.

At this time, Gu Zhenniang on the side whispered: "It's okay, Mother Ma, I'm not afraid of snakes, I can do it."

After hearing this, Mother Ma breathed a sigh of relief.

He replied: "Our mother-in-law is not afraid. Cui'er and I will try our best to learn from her later."

"It's okay. If you're afraid, don't force it." Lin Xuezhu said nonchalantly: "Everyone has something to be afraid of. That's not true. It's easy to overcome. There is no need to force yourself to save money. There is no such rule here."

Mother Ma almost burst into tears after hearing this.

Miss Xuezhu, what kind of fairy master is she who can be so considerate to her servants?

She was about to say something to say thank you, but when her eyes met Lin Xuezhu's smiling eyes, she felt her heart melt.

I forgot to say thank you.

Lin Xuezhu turned her face away and saw Yuan Xiu concentrating on stabbing the snake with a bamboo stick, and couldn't help but be enlightened.

They say serious men are the best looking, not to mention, her husband is so handsome.

Lin Xuezhu, a pretty girl, was temporarily immersed in Yuan Xiu's beauty and couldn't extricate herself.

After a while, Liu Kui asked his men to pass the order and prepare to go on the road.

He also specifically asked Ma Xing to remind Lin Xuezhu and his family to stop playing too selflessly.

Seeing Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo's unfinished expressions, Lin Xuezhu was amused.

The operation of these two people is just like two boys meeting to play games together.

However, this is a truly immersive experience, a real snake game.

Seeing Yan Da and the three Hu brothers carrying two more baskets of snakes onto the car, everyone else in the exile team was speechless.

Not to mention that Mrs. Lin's family is living a good life, but her ability is beyond comparison with ordinary people.

However, even though Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo killed many snakes, the snakes in the forest were still crawling happily all over the ground.

Liu Kui and his men discussed it and had to change their route and go eastward.

Once they got out of the woods, they would just go back to their original path.

The journey that is delayed during this period will be made up for later.

None of the prisoners had any objections to this decision.

They would rather drive an extra hour or two every day than pass through this forest surrounded by snakes.

I walked like this all afternoon, and finally saw a village at the foot of the mountain at sunset.

Liu Kui asked everyone to rest on the spot first and wait until he and Li Zheng explained the situation before making arrangements to set up camp.

After all, this village was not on the route to exile.

Temporary diversion, disturbing others.

If they don't want to, they have to find another place to camp.

After Liu Kui finished speaking, he took one of his men and walked to the village.

After waiting for about half an hour, the two came back.

Li Zheng agreed to their request to camp outside the village, but stated that they were not allowed to speak loudly and were not allowed to collect wild vegetables and fruits from nearby mountains.

This request was not too harsh, so Liu Kui accepted it.

After the team set up camp, each team started cooking.

Some teams had already run out of ammunition and food. Seeing that the Lin family had a lot of snakes, they came to discuss with Lin Xuezhu whether they could get some snake meat on credit.

Lin Xuezhu does not eat snakes herself, nor does she recommend that her family members eat snakes.

Wild snakes have more or less parasites in their bodies.

Moreover, snake meat is not in her daily diet.

So she voiced her concerns.

But those who have been hungry for several days are in no mood to care about parasites.

At this moment, as long as they can fill their stomachs, they can eat mice even if they are asked to eat them.

There was no other way, so Lin Xuezhu had no choice but to suggest that they cook the snake meat at high temperature for a long time before it could be eaten.

After the audience agreed, she asked Yan Da to distribute the processed snake meat to everyone, and they did not need credit.

Seeing that some teams got snake meat for free, other teams were also ready to take action.

Several other heads came to Lin Xuezhu and wanted some snake meat.

Lin Xuezhu thought that although snakes had parasites, eating them once in a while would not be life-threatening.

What's more, if there is no certain protein supplement, it will be even more detrimental to everyone's health.

After weighing the situation, she agreed to give away all the snake meat.

That night, everyone in the exile team ate the meat they had been looking forward to for a long time, and they were all satisfied.

Yan Da and the three brothers from the Hu family were very busy peeling snake skins and shaving snake bones.

Yan Dagen started the tanning process directly after peeling off the snake skins.

The people in the exile team, looking at the colorful snake skins hanging on the Lin family's carriage, couldn't help but move the camp farther away.

The people in Mrs. Lin's family are all good people, but they are a little scary.

After the meal, Lin Xuezhu entered the space consciously and checked today's harvest.

She also got goosebumps when she saw the pit full of snakes entangled with each other.

At that time, my mind didn't know which tendon was wrong. I thought these snakes might be useful, so I put them into the space.

As a result, just like when she took in the dog, she once again felt like her space was unclean.

She thought about it and decided that she couldn't let these snakes get around.

So he consciously entered the Treasure Pavilion and found a large cauldron that had been moved from the treasury.

The big cauldron stood on the ground as tall as a person and wider than her arm span.

I don't know whether the dog emperor used it to worship heaven, perform rituals, or ward off evil spirits.

In short, she felt that the capacity of the large cauldron could meet the needs of so many snakes.

So in just a few seconds, the snakes began to entangle and play in the big cauldron.

In order to prevent them from crawling out, Lin Xuezhu moved several treasure cabinets to press them on top.

Only then did I feel relieved to leave the space.

Chapter 186 She felt confident

that since she was prohibited from looking for food in the nearby mountains, Lin Xuezhu planned to go to bed early.

For some reason, she always felt a little defensive when she was near people.

Her consciousness did not enter the space and she fell asleep directly.

After an unknown amount of time, she felt someone tapping her gently.

As her consciousness gradually cleared, she heard Yuan Xiu's voice.

"Madam, wake up." Yuan Xiu said softly.

Lin Xuezhu finally opened her eyes and asked drowsily, "What's wrong?"

"The situation is not good." Although Yuan Xiu's voice was soft, his tone was very serious.

Lin Xuezhu stood up quickly, opened the car curtain and looked out.

The quiet mountain village was completely dark.

Except for being too quiet, everything else is normal.

However, Lin Xuezhu discovered that Lu Mo, who was on night duty today, was also particularly vigilant.

Seeing Lin Xuezhu's face revealed, Lu Mo stood up and walked quickly to the carriage.

"Cousin, cousin, there's something going on." He said.

"What's going on?" Lin Xuezhu was worried.

These two people just talk about situations and situations, but don't say what the situation is.

Lu Mo and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and apologized: "It's hard to judge what the situation is, but my intuition is that something is wrong."

Lin Xuezhu understood that this was the sensitivity of the two as soldiers.

"Is there any danger?" Lin Xuezhu only cared about this question.

Lu Mo nodded worriedly.

Lin Xuezhu understood, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and said to Lu Mo: "Wake up our family."

She believed in Lu Mo and Yuan Xiu's intuition.

The two of them went to various carriages and shouted to everyone.

Yan Da and the three Hu brothers each took weapons.

Lin Xuezhu asked them to take their women and hide in the mountains.

He went to find Liu Kui.

Liu Kui was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by his men on duty at night, and he subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Hearing that Lin Xuezhu was looking for him, he felt even worse and quickly got out of the carriage.

"My lord, my husband and Lu Mo sense that there is danger around them, so I came here to remind you to see if you need to make any preparations," Lin Xuezhu said.

When Liu Kui heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

He knew that people who have been on the battlefield all year round have sharper senses than ordinary people, especially their perception of danger.

Therefore, although he saw nothing and heard nothing, he still subconsciously became vigilant.

"I'll wake up all the officials."

Liu Kui said, asking his men to call people, and ordered everyone to fuck.

Lin Xuezhu reminded: "When necessary, use all the young and middle-aged men in the team."

Liu Kui hesitated about this.

However, he did not refute Lin Xuezhu's words, but nodded.

Just as the officials stood up one after another, Lu Mo ran over and pointed to the hilltop closest to the exiled team.

Said: "There is something going on there."

Lin Xuezhu's heart trembled suddenly.

Just now she asked her family to hide in the mountains, and they went in that direction.

Lu Mo was obviously aware of this, and after notifying the official, he rushed up the mountain.

Lin Xuezhu ran up after him without hesitation.

Liu Kui shouted anxiously behind her: "Ms. Lin, you are in danger!"

At this moment, several torches suddenly lit up halfway up the mountain.

The light spot of the torch went down the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Lin Xuezhu suddenly stopped and her mind was racing.

She glanced at the position of the torch, and then at the location of the exile team.

Estimate the straight-line distance between two points.

Then, change direction and run down the mountain in the direction of the torch.

When she was still some distance away from the torch, she climbed up a big tree on her hands and knees.

His consciousness quickly entered the space and moved down the treasure cabinet covered with the cauldron.

Colorful snakes appeared in front of her.

She removed part of the snake, threw it on the ground, and covered it slightly with leaves.

Then, quietly waiting for the torch to approach.

Within a few minutes, she saw a dozen strong men dressed as bandits walking over with torches.

Everyone has a big knife on his waist.

There were faint traces of blood on the blades of some large knives.

They appear to be a group of desperadoes.

The men took long strides and soon stepped on the snakes hidden under the leaves.

Someone was bitten by a snake and cried out in pain.

His accomplices were attracted by the sound and turned to look.

Lin Xuezhu seized the opportunity and released all the snakes in the space.

Seeing the colorful snakes clattering down on the heads of the group of men, causing waves of rough screams, Lin Xuezhu was pleased with his wit again.

Sure enough, there is nothing that cannot be used.

She apologized for finding the snakes disgusting.

"There's someone up there." Suddenly, a man yelled.

Almost all the bandits looked in Lin Xuezhu's direction with wide eyes.

Lin Xuezhu's heart trembled, and she silently grabbed a handful of poison from the space and threw it towards the bandits.

These bandits seemed experienced at first glance, so they quickly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves and retreated quickly.

While retreating, they also used torches to light dead branches and leaves on the ground.

The group of snakes quickly retreated under the attack of fire.

"Catch that bitch!" the bandit leader ordered.

Immediately, a bandit covered his mouth and nose with a scarf and climbed up the tree.

Lin Xuezhu had weapons in his hands.

Seeing someone climbing up, she became cruel and stabbed him with a knife.

A large piece of the bandit's scalp was cut off, and there was blood on the top of his head. He fell from the tree with a thud and rolled on the ground in pain.

"If we get a few more people, we must take down that bitch!" the bandit leader was furious.

Several bandits swarmed up, like ants climbing a tree, and climbed up towards Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu stabbed her to the left and chopped to her right, injuring a few people.

Unable to bear it, the bandits rushed one after another and climbed up as if desperate for their lives.

Lin Xuezhu soon became unable to resist.

Damn it, I've lost my temper today.

Lin Xuezhu immediately regretted it, and just asked Lu Mo to come with him.

It was just that she was worried about her family's safety, so she felt relieved when Lu Mo came to find him.

Secondly, she thought it would be better not to let Lu Mo find out about taking things from the space.

So, as soon as my brain showed off, I ran over alone.

Unexpectedly, this group of bandits had rich combat experience and was extremely difficult to deal with.

Lin Xuezhu felt something moving behind her, so she grabbed the knife and struck back.

One of the bandits fell off the tree in response, but the other bandit had already raised his knife from behind Lin Xuezhu.

Lin Xuezhu sensed the danger, but he was stuck in the tree and had nowhere to escape.

At this critical moment, a bamboo stick came through the air and was nailed to the back of the neck of the man behind him.

The man turned over and fell defenselessly under the tree. After convulsing a few times, he died.

It's Yuan Xiu!

Lin Xuezhu looked in the direction from which the bamboo stick flew, but saw nothing.

She knew that it was not convenient for Yuan Xiu to show his face, so he could only protect her in secret.

But even if this was the case, she already had confidence in her heart.

Chapter 187 Fuck it, fuck them

. The bandit leader suddenly became nervous when he saw the master coming.

However, he looked around and couldn't find anyone there.

Just when he couldn't figure it out, the bamboo stick came through the air.

In just a few breaths, several of his men were eliminated.

The bandit leader suddenly stopped caring about Lin Xuezhu and called to his subordinates: "Run to the village."

Lin Xuezhu felt strange after hearing this.

When a normal person encounters an enemy they can't deal with, shouldn't they run back? Why do these people still run to the village?

Just when she was puzzled, a sudden fire in the village gave her the answer.

The quiet mountain village seemed to suddenly become noisy.

The roaring of men, the screaming of women, and the crying of children all intertwined into a chaotic situation.

Lin Xuezhu's heart suddenly tightened.

But Yuan Xiu's movements were extremely fast. With a few bamboo sticks, he eliminated the remaining bandits.

Lin Xuezhu quickly got off the tree and ran towards the village.

The bandits came down from the mountains in all directions, and the group that went straight to the exile team was eliminated by Yuan Xiu.

Therefore, the exile team has not been affected yet.

Lin Xuezhu saw Liu Kui and shouted to him: "Let the old, weak, women and children go up the mountain to escape from here."

After hearing her words, Liu Kui immediately carried out the plan without questioning it.

At this time, Lu Mo ran down the mountain.

Lin Xuezhu asked quickly: "Where are the family members?"

Lu Mo replied in a low voice: "I settled them and checked around the area. Except for the group that was killed, there is no other danger."

Lin Xuezhu nodded, "Then That's fine."

She turned to the old, weak, women and children in the team and said, "There is no danger in this mountain. Please find a suitable place to evacuate and don't make any noise. When it is safe, we will blow the whistle to summon everyone. "

After saying that, she saw that Lu Mo had already run towards the village, while Liu Kui and the officials remained where they were.

"Master, what are you doing?" Lin Xuezhu asked puzzledly.

Liu Kui glanced at her and said hesitantly: "The bandits just came to the village to steal things. They have nothing to do with our exile team. I don't want to increase the casualties."

It came again and again, and Liu Kui's determination to protect himself came again.

Lin Xuezhu was speechless for a while, so she had no choice but to open the skylight and speak frankly.

"My lord, before the bandits robbed them, they all stepped on it. A dozen people came down from the mountain here just now, but they were killed by my little cousin. We can hide, but what about the carriage? What about the carriage? The baggage is what the bandits like."

She said this to remind Liu Kui that if the baggage was lost, the exile team would not be able to move forward.

When trouble breaks out, he won't have to take the blame.

Which one is more important, you can weigh it yourself.

However, before Liu Kui could say anything, a petty official next to him spoke first, "Speaking of carriages, Mrs. Lin's family probably has more."

The implication was that Lin Xuezhu had her own selfish motives when she encouraged Liu Kui to fight against the bandits. of.

After hearing this, Lin Xuezhu's eyes suddenly sharpened and she stared at the junior official.

The little official was trembling all over as if something was wrong.

Lin Xuezhu sneered and said: "Even if all six of my carriages are lost, I can still live slowly with my ability. What about you?"

Not to mention the baggage given by the court, it is the bribes these people accepted along the way. If Losing it is enough for them to be sad.

What's more, Lin Xuezhu's family has less than twenty people, including several strong men.

And their team of official officers has to bear the food rations for nearly a hundred people.

The small official immediately fell silent.

Lin Xuezhu was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and said coldly: "I just suggest that the person who makes the decision is the official. All six of my carriages are here. I don't feel bad about any bandit who wants to rob them."

After that, he turned and ran up the mountain. go.

Fighting and fighting should be left to those who are capable.

She is a weak woman, she just needs to protect her family.

Just when Liu Kui hesitated, he saw a few villagers running in their direction.

As they ran, they shouted loudly: "Master, help me, help us."

Behind them, there were several bandits.

When the bandit saw the carriage, he quickly whistled.

Liu Kui felt bad, and he saw bandits gathering from all directions.

What Mrs. Lin said is true.

Liu Kui gritted his back molars and said to his subordinates: "Come on, let's escape this disaster. I'll treat everyone to a drink later to calm down the shock."

With that, he rushed forward first.

Now I have to fight even if I don't want to, and people are coming to my door.

Seeing the leader standing in front of him, all the officials knew they couldn't escape, so they could only rush up with their swords.

Liu Kui shouted, "Before they gather together, deal with them one by one."

It has to be said that he is an official leader who has escorted prisoners many times, so he still has experience.

As soon as Liu Kui shouted, the officers also reacted and rushed towards the bandits separately.

The remaining male prisoners, each holding a sharpened bamboo pole, stood in front of the carriage, vowing to defend everyone's rations to the death.

They cannot fight against the enemy individually, but fighting in groups is still possible.

No matter how tough the bandits are, they can't beat them with two fists and four legs.

Each of them can be stabbed to death with a bamboo pole.

Liu Kui killed two bandits. When he looked back, he saw that the prisoners had not followed, but they were surrounding the carriage and waiting.

Thinking of Lin Xuezhu's words that the prisoners could be used when necessary, he was speechless.

How to use this?

These people regard food as more important than the official's life.

Liu Kui was speechless for a moment, and then he was relieved.

It's good to have someone watching the carriage, at least you won't have to worry about the baggage being stolen.

Another bandit rushed over in front of him. Liu Kui didn't think much and slashed at him with a big knife.

Another man was hacked to death, and he himself was slightly wounded.

Seeing all the men, women, and children in the village being chased all over the place by bandits, not only was it useless to resist the bandits, but it was also a bit of a hindrance.

He remembered what Lin Xuezhu said when he mobilized everyone to kill wolves, and couldn't help shouting: "Why run, they have few people, we have many people, let's go with them!"

Seeing that the villagers did not react for a while, he shouted again: "You run away It means death. If you don't go and fight with them, you might be able to make a living. Go ahead, fuck them!"

After hearing this, several mature men became enlightened.

When I saw someone with farm tools on hand, I immediately started working on them.

There were those who reacted more slowly. Seeing that others were resisting vigorously, they thought that they could not let others take advantage of them, so they immediately looked around for someone who could take advantage of them.

Sometimes, people's ideas change in a sudden change of mind.

The villagers slowly began to fight back, and the bandits were not able to succeed so easily.

Although the villagers' military strength is not as good as that of the bandits, due to their long years of farm work and strong bodies, even the elderly in their forties and fifties can fight with the bandits.

They knew they couldn't fight alone, so they formed a team nearby and fought against the enemy as a group. They actually killed several bandits.

When the bandit leader saw that something was wrong, he quickly shouted: "Grab the carriage and run away."

Chapter 188: The eldest niece has learned to kill people.

Lin Xuezhu went all the way up the mountain, looking for a place to stay for his family.

She remembered that Lu Mo and Yan Da often used bamboo whistles to communicate, so she took out her own bamboo whistle and played a few notes from memory.

Soon, the response came.

Lin Xuezhu followed the direction of the sound.

Finally, I found my family in a depression tightly covered by weeds.

"Daughter!" Lin Chengzhang was so excited that he almost burst into tears when he saw Lin Xuezhu.

Every time danger occurred, his daughter would arrange for the whole family to be in a safe place, and then risk her own life.

As a biological father, he couldn't be more worried.

Also feeling the same as him was his mother Wen Xiuqing.

At this time, she and a group of female relatives were surrounded by the men in the family, who were keeping their heads down and pretending not to be there.

Hearing Lin Chengzhang's call, she raised her head and waved vigorously to Lin Xuezhu.

Other family members also looked relieved.

"Daughter, how is the situation now?" Lin Chengzhang finished his excitement, but still did not forget to care about business.

Lin Xuezhu replied: "There are quite a few bandits. Although they have been temporarily restrained by the villagers, we still cannot take it lightly."

"Where are Xiu'er and Lu Mo?" Ms. Lu asked.

Lin Xuezhu smiled reassuringly at her, "Don't worry, aunt, even if my husband is sitting here, those bandits are no match for him. Not to mention my little cousin, he is very brave."

Mrs. Lu agreed, but she was still worried in her heart. .

This worry has nothing to do with how capable Yuan Xiu and Lu Mo are, it is purely out of family affection.

Lin Xuezhu asked Yan Da, "Have you seen other people coming up?"

Yan Da nodded, "There are some who are hiding in all directions."

Lin Xuezhu said: "The people who are coming up are all female relatives. If you have spare strength, please help support them. After all, The men are all staying down there."

Yan Da and the three brothers from the Hu family were all responsible. Hearing this, we all helped find a place to hide for those who came up."

"Yes," Lin Xuezhu said, "I will tell you. After agreeing on three short and three long signals, I will blow the whistle when the crisis is over.

"Daughter, do you want to go back?" Lin Chengzhang stood up with a shout.

Lin Xuezhu comforted him and said, "I'll go down there and keep an eye on it for you. If anyone comes, I'll whistle to warn you so that you can be prepared."

"My daughter..." Wen Xiuqing's nose sore.

Does the safety of such a large family depend on the daughter alone?

Is this too heavy for her?

"Eldest niece, let me go." Lin Chengyao stood up at this time.

He can't fight, and his brain isn't that sharp, so he can still do a job of standing guard.

The eldest brother is left as the commander, Yan Da and the three Hu brothers are responsible for fighting the enemy, and the eldest niece does not need to take risks.

This is good, it's time for him to take on the responsibilities that a man needs to bear.

"Uncle, can you climb a tree?"

As a result, Lin Xuezhu's light question instantly wiped out Lin Chengyao's burning fighting spirit.

"Climb, climb a tree?" He still can't forget the fear of being dominated by climbing a tree.

Lin Xuezhu smiled and said, "That's right. If you don't climb a tree, do you want to stand in the middle of the road and watch out?"

"Thank you for your hard work, niece." Lin Chengyao squatted down obediently.

This job is suitable for my eldest niece. After all, he can't compare to her tree-climbing skills.

Lin Xuezhu saw that the atmosphere was like a separation between life and death, and said to his family members in a hurry: "Don't be so sad, they are just a bunch of rabble. After a while, they will be sorted out."

Just Yuan Xiu's small bamboo stick, one at a time, and Nothing to worry about!

After Lin Xuezhu finished speaking, he turned to leave.

Suddenly, in another depression, someone stood up.

"Lin Xuezhu, all the men from other families were left below. Why did six men from your family climb up the mountain? There are old men, children and women in each team. Is your family the only one who needs protection?" said in a high-pitched voice.

Lin Xuezhu took a closer look, hey, isn't this the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xuelan.

She actually hid next to her family.

Looking again, there were many people squatting in the nearby grass, the big rocks diagonally above, and some trees.

After listening to Lin Xuelan's words, those people all cast complicated eyes on Lin Xuezhu.

There was no condemnation in that gaze.

Generally speaking, there are three parts of envy, three parts of helplessness, and four parts of resignation.

It seems to be saying that the Lin family is more valuable than others.

People have been living the life of a rich person since they started on the road.

"Lin Xuelan, did I give you face?" Lin Xuezhu said, picked up the guy and ran towards Lin Xuelan.

Lin Xuelan saw a bright blade flashing before her eyes under the moonlight, and subconsciously squatted down holding her head.

Phew, the sound of the blade penetrating flesh.

Lin Xuelan felt a damp heat on her back, but no pain.

Then, there was a thud from behind, as if something hit the ground.

Lin Xuelan subconsciously looked back and saw a man dressed as a bandit, desperately covering his neck.

From between his fingers, blood was splattering all around.

"Ah ah ah ah murder." Lin Xuelan screamed in fright.

Lin Xuezhu turned the blade in another direction and slapped her on the head decisively. Lin Xuezhu fainted immediately.

After doing this, Lin Xuezhu turned around and said to the stunned members of his family: "Watch her, knock her out when she wakes up, don't let her scream and attract the bandits."

Yan Da and the three brothers of the Hu family were so frightened that they forgot He was about to answer, but just looked at Lin Xuezhu blankly.

Lin Xuezhu made a winning gesture to them and headed downhill with the knife in hand.

Lin Chengyao was stunned for a long time and murmured: "Well, the eldest niece has learned how to kill now, what else can't she do?"

After hearing his unclear words, everyone finally realized.

Lin Chengzhang covered his face, look at what this exile has done to his daughter, it hurts!

Wen Xiuqing took several deep breaths and started to twitch.

Lin Jiayuan couldn't hold it back and fainted.

Mrs. Lu supported Lin Jiayuan, but felt that she couldn't hold on anymore.

Jiang Qishuang felt a little lucky. When she saw her eldest niece rushing over with a knife, she covered Xiao Xuan'er's eyes in time to prevent the child from seeing the bloody scene.

Lin Yuxuan felt very strange. Why was his mother's hand shaking all the time? Was it cold?

Everyone had mixed feelings in their hearts for a long time, but they still couldn't calm down.

At this time, Lin Xuezhu had already reached the foot of the mountain, climbing a big tree to check the situation.

She just happened to see many bandits gathering towards the camp of the exile team.

The prisoners who were preparing to resist with bamboo poles had just stabbed a few bandits to death. When they were feeling proud, they saw a large wave of bandits coming and were at a loss.

Chapter 189 Human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

Seeing the men in confusion, Lin Xuezhu couldn't help shouting: "Abandon the car to save your life, stay together and don't spread out, and stab people when they come."

She was very nervous, and so were the men. Nervously, everyone clenched the weapons in their hands.

However, just as the bandits approached the carriage, several bamboo sticks were suddenly shot out from the Lin family's carriage, instantly knocking down the leading bandits.

After being delayed like this, Lu Mo and a few officers chased after him, and charged into the group of bandits to collect a wave of heads.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuezhu felt happy, climbed down from the tree, and ran towards his carriage.

"Husband, when did you come back?" She revealed a little head from the corner in surprise.

Don't ask her why she is so cautious, just ask because she is afraid that the bamboo stick will prick her body . Yuan

Xiu smiled slightly at her and replied: "I came back after dealing with those people just now."

Lin Xuezhu stuck out her tongue, and he came back with her. Well, she didn't notice it at all.

Yuan Xiu was indeed an elusive person.

Not knowing that Yuan Xiu was in the car, Lin Xuezhu relaxed and looked around outside the carriage.

These bandits are really hateful. They just rob things and set fire to the village.

Half of the houses of several families were burned down, and several more were burning.

Lin Xuezhu clicked his tongue, "These bandits have no concept of sustainable development at all. It is not advisable to use all the water to catch the real thing."

"Madam, what are you mumbling about?" Yuan Xiu heard Lin Xuezhu's voice in the carriage and couldn't help but ask.

Lin Xuezhu expressed his thoughts again.

After hearing this, Yuan Xiu remained silent for a while, and the bamboo sticks he threw became denser.

Lin Xuezhu saw some villagers returning to their homes to put out the fire, so he took a detour and sneaked into the village quietly.

There is a large pond in the village and several wells.

Some people fetched water from the pond, and some fetched water from the well, and painstakingly poured it into the place where the fire was burning.

However, most of the houses in the village have thatched roofs, and once a fire breaks out, it cannot be extinguished by a few buckets of water.

Lin Xuezhu saw them busy and anxious, and shouted quickly: "If the water is not good, you can use soil."

The villagers were reminded by him, and someone used farm tools to directly use local materials, dig up the soil, and then cover the fire.

Someone thought of other houses on fire and shouted, "Put out the fire with earth!"

As soon as he shouted, someone else immediately followed him.

After a while, shouts of "put out the fire with earth" rang out from all over the village.

Then, the villagers who got rid of the nuisance of the bandits spontaneously joined the fire-fighting team.

As the number of people increased, the fire gradually slowed down.

On the other side, the group of people responsible for fighting the bandits saw that more and more bandits were being eliminated and fewer and fewer bandits were left. Their morale was boosted and they became more and more courageous as they fought.

Almost all the hundreds of bandits who entered the village were captured and killed.

The few who were lucky enough to escape also lost their armor and pissed themselves off.

Lu Mo finished killing the bandits and ran to find Lin Xuezhu.

"Cousin, my cousin asked me to inform you that the banditry has been eliminated."

Lin Xuezhu glanced at the camp of the exile team and laughed happily when he saw that the officials were preparing to count people and items.

She took out her bamboo whistle and blew three short and three long signals three times in a row.

After a while, she saw silhouettes of people appearing one after another on the hillside.

When the men down the mountain saw it, they immediately shouted: "Come back, we won."

Hearing this voice, more people stood up from their hiding places, and everyone ran down the mountain happily.

That way, full of joy of surviving the disaster.

Lin Xuezhu followed Lu Mo back to the camp. When she saw Liu Kui, she said, "Master, those bandits are setting fires everywhere. Let our people help the villagers put out the fires."

Liu Kui nodded and quickly arranged for his men to lead each team to take action.

If the men were strong enough, they would dig in the soil and put out the fire.

The women took all the objects that could hold water and scattered them to various water sources to get water and put out the fire.

With more people and greater strength, in the end, all the fires were extinguished,

although several houses were almost burned to the ground because of the intensity of the fire.

Fortunately, the fire did not spread further and the lives and property of most villagers were saved.

Unfortunately, an old man in one family who was paralyzed in bed died in the fire because he failed to escape in time.

Therefore, some people survived the disaster and were extremely lucky.

There are people who are homeless and in a panic.

There are also people who have lost their loved ones and continue to mourn.

This is probably because human beings' joys and sorrows are not the same.

The officer called all the prisoners together without stopping. After counting the number of people, Liu Kui frowned,

"Where's Lin Xuelan? Is she dead?"

When he asked, some prisoners remembered this incident.

A woman patted her forehead and said, "Master, when Miss Lin went up the mountain with us to take refuge, she made a big fuss and attracted a bandit. Miss Lin was afraid that she would get into trouble, so she knocked her unconscious. We just went down the mountain." "I forgot to wake her up."

She looked ashamed, not to Lin Xuelan, but because she felt that they were causing trouble to the officials.

After hearing this, Liu Kui glanced at Lin Xuezhu suspiciously.

Lin Xuezhu spread his hands, indicating that the facts were just as the woman said.

Liu Kui looked around at the other people's faces again, and saw that everyone had no objection to this statement, so he didn't intend to pursue it any further.

He ordered one of his men to go up the mountain, and after bringing Lin Xuelan back, he took the others to count the belongings. .

A banditry and a fire caused everyone a lot of trouble.

The food he had just eaten seemed to be completely consumed.

At this time, Li Zheng came over with several men carrying several large buckets.

When he saw Liu Kui, he felt ashamed and sighed gratefully.

He said: "My lord, I was narrow-minded before. When I saw you settling here, I thought you were trying to take advantage of me. Unexpectedly, our village suffered such a serious disaster, but you spared no effort to help and save our village." "We have nothing to repay for this great kindness, so we will prepare meals for you later."

Seeing Li Zheng's sincere attitude, Liu Kui also forgave him for his previous attitude.

Thinking about it, it was Lin Xuezhu who proposed his help in the first place. of.

Later, he was directly attacked by bandits, so he had no choice but to put up a fight and resist

. Li Zheng's praise was truly deserved.

However, after everything was done and people wanted to express their gratitude, he had no reason to refuse.

So he said politely: "We have experienced this great event together, so we are destined to be together, so there is no need to worry about it. When we save others, we are also saving ourselves."

Li Zheng felt even more ashamed. He waved to the men behind him and said, "My lord is a man of great benevolence and righteousness. We can learn from the blue sky. We have all been tired just now and must be thirsty. I asked someone to bring some water. Let's drink it first. The meal will be served later." Okay. It's all farm-style, please don't dislike it."

As he said that, a man took out a large bowl from a bucket and handed it to Liu Kui.

Chapter 190 There should be people with such big hearts, but not many

Liu Kui was thirsty after the busy work just now.

He took the bowl and drank heavily.

Li Zheng was very good at doing things, and when he saw Liu Kui drinking, he asked a few villagers to deliver water to other officials.

After sending off the officials, he sent off the prisoners again.

Lin Xuezhu looked at the bowls they brought, of different sizes, old and new, and guessed that the whole village had put them together.

She also saw some people drink the water and return the bowls to the villagers.

The villagers rinsed the bowl in a bucket and gave it to others.

Lin Xuezhu's thoughts suddenly drifted to the 10,000 cups used for street drinks in a magical country when he was browsing a video on an alphabet station in his previous life, and he instantly felt the taste.

She hesitated when she saw the officers and other prisoners drinking water without objection.

Would it look pretentious if I didn't drink?

At this moment, Yuan Xiu spoke.

His voice was not loud, but the Lin family gathered together could hear him.

He said: "Don't drink that water, pour it away quietly when no one is paying attention."

Although the Lin family didn't know why, they believed in Yuan Xiu.

Therefore, they will do what Yuan Xiu says without asking why.

Lin Xuezhu felt happy, thinking that this would be a good idea.

It won't hurt the feelings of the villagers, and it can eliminate the need for thousands of bowls.

She walked towards Yuan Xiu with a smile and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Husband, are you the roundworm in my belly? Why do you know everything I think?"

Yuan Xiu turned to look at her, With a solemn expression, "Madam, you also think there is something fishy about what happened today?"

Lin Xuezhu was startled, put away her playful smile, and asked, "What did you notice

, husband?" Yuan Xiu said, "Madam, you just reminded me that ordinary bandits rob homes and houses. "You will not set fire to the village unless you are seeking revenge. But look at it. You are thanking us but you don't mention anything about the bandits. This is very abnormal."

Lin Xuezhu tasted it and felt it . This makes sense.

Otherwise, there is a really big one there.

If your village is attacked by bandits, you can go out and walk around like nothing happened.

Otherwise, there is something fishy here.

He knew something there, but didn't say it.

Lin Xuezhu felt that there should be people with such a big heart, but not many.

The second possibility is more likely.

Moreover, the exile team temporarily changed its route and only stayed in this village for one night when they encountered bandits.

This fate, it is not an exaggeration to say that we have come thousands of miles to meet each other.

And then related to the snake epidemic that had never happened before...

She believed that there were coincidences in the world, but she didn't believe that so many coincidences would happen on the same day.

She glanced at Yuan Xiu in agreement. The male protagonist of Xin Dao was indeed a male protagonist. His insight and vigilance were both top-notch.

Just as he was thinking about it, the villagers sent water to the Lin family.

Everyone in the Lin family took the water one by one, put it to their mouths, and pretended to drink, but actually did not drink it into their mouths.

After the villagers left, they quietly poured the water on the ground.

Lin Xuezhu looked around nervously and found that there was nothing unusual after everyone drank water.

She and Yuan Xiu looked at each other, neither in a hurry.

After drinking the water, Liu Kui led the officials to count the supplies.

Except for a few supplies that were destroyed in the fighting, most of them were preserved.

Liu Kui breathed a sigh of relief.

It's okay that he can find a way to fill these holes.

Everyone repaired on the spot for a while, and then saw Li Zheng coming alone.

He said with a smile: "Excuse me, sir, please take everyone into the village. We have prepared some meals. I hope you don't dislike it."

"What the hell, you are serious." Liu Kui said politely, but in his heart Very useful.

Since they started on the road, although their official meals were better than those of the prisoners and there was plenty of food, the conditions were not as good as at home.

It's rare to have a hot, home-cooked meal.

Thinking of this, Liu Kui did not refuse and called his men to take the prisoners into the village.

Lin Xuezhu said to his family: "You guys should rest on the carriage. My husband and I will follow you to have a look."

The Lin family had no shortage of food and water in their stomachs, so naturally they were not short of this meal. They all agreed upon hearing this.

At this time, every household in the village carried out their dining tables and placed them in a long row on the path in the village.

The women brought out steaming meals from the kitchens of their respective homes.

A large pot of pork was stewed on a temporary earthen stove set up in the middle of the field.

The officers and prisoners couldn't help but swallow when they saw such rich food.

Li Zheng smiled and introduced: "The meat in this pot is stewed by Aunt He, the most delicious cook in our village. If you don't eat anything else, you must try this meat."

As he said, he asked the officials to sit on the stools Sit down first, then the prisoners.

The men, women, and children in the village stood nearby, eating from bowls.

Starting from Liu Kui, Li Zheng took care of almost everyone in the exile team.

He is serving food and chatting, and he seems to have very strong communication skills.

When he came to Lin Xuezhu, he asked in surprise: "Why don't you two eat?"

Lin Xuezhu said with a smile: "I ate some when it was first served, but now I can't eat anymore."

There was a flash in Li Zheng's eyes. A little weird, but he quickly covered it up.

He gave a few more words of hospitality and went to greet the others.

After he walked away, Lin Xuezhu approached Yuan Xiu and asked softly: "Husband, do you smell his scent?"

When Li Zheng came over just now, she smelled something strange about him.

The taste blends with the aroma of the food and is not easy to distinguish.

But she just smelled it.

Yuan Xiu nodded and said in a deep voice: "There is something weird about Zheng here. Let's continue to observe."

Lin Xuezhu responded and said no more.

After finishing the meal, there was still no abnormality among the officials and prisoners.

Lin Xuezhu and Yuan Xiu looked at each other and said, "Husband, could it be that we are villains? It seems that there is no malice there, maybe it is just a big heart."

"Yeah." Yuan Xiu said, "But we It's okay to be careful."

Lin Xuezhu agreed.

Not to mention being cautious when dealing with strangers, even from the perspective of eating and drinking, she didn't like the way so many people were eating on the same plate.

Seeing Yuan Xiu walking forward leaning on a bamboo pole, Lin Xuezhu held his hand without thinking.

Yuan Xiu curled up his lips and immediately returned his grip.

The two just held hands and returned to the camp very naturally.

This night, both the officials and the prisoners were very tired.

When everyone returned to the camp, they packed up and got ready for bed.

Yuan Xiu asked the others to go to bed first, and he would be on duty tonight.

Lu Mo and others knew what he meant, so they didn't refuse and went to bed each other.

Yuan Xiu sat on the shaft of the car, while Lin Xuezhu stayed in the carriage.

She was afraid that something would happen at night, so her consciousness entered the space. After harvesting a wave, she retreated and fell asleep directly.
