Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Seeing that she liked it, after she finished her cup, Pei Yu picked up the teapot and poured her another cup. His posture was elegant and his movements were skillful, showing the elegance of a young master from a noble family.

Shen Li stopped drinking and picked up the box to examine it carefully. The box was the same as the last time she saw it, not even the marks on it had increased.

The most crucial thing is the lock on the box. Shen Li was shocked when she sent a trace of mental power into the keyhole.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this lock as exquisite. If it were placed in later generations, its exquisiteness would not be surprising. However, it is ancient times with backward technology, and making such a lock is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Every component inside the lock is very delicate and small, and the entire lock consists of 108 parts.

Seeing that she looked serious, Pei Yu moved the candlestick a little closer to her, and picked up the teacup, rubbing it slowly in his hand.

Shen Li rehearsed in her mind for a quarter of an hour before she picked up the key on the table, inserted it into the keyhole, and began to turn it gently.

There are certain rules for how many circles to turn and where to stop after each circle. If any part goes wrong, all the efforts will be in vain.

Shen Li held the box and studied it for half an hour. Finally, she heard a "click" sound.

With a look of joy on his face, he put the box on the table, put one hand on the box, raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Yu, "I opened it."

Pei Yu was also very happy at this moment, and when he saw Shen Lina's proud little look, his face showed even more joy.

He complimented, "Ms. Shen is indeed amazing."

Shen Li frowned. Who wanted his praise? If she didn't have the mental strength today, she would definitely not be able to open the box. She didn't know what kind of person could make such an exquisite mechanism.

Pei Yu was also very considerate. He took out a bulging purse from his sleeve and pushed it in front of Shen Li. "This is a little gift from me. I hope Miss Shen won't despise it."

"Okay, okay. We have known each other for such a long time, and Master Wei is still so polite."

Having said that, she took the purse with her other hand. With her mental power, she already knew how many banknotes were in the purse.

The things inside must be very important, otherwise Wei Zian would not be so generous and directly give ten thousand taels.

The box has been opened. If Shen Li wants to know what's inside, it's a simple matter.

However, knowing too much is not a good thing, so I didn't look at what was inside the box.

He picked up his purse, drank the cup of tea in front of him, and walked to the front.

Pei Yu picked up the box on the table. Tian Qing and An Liu beside him lowered their eyes tacitly, looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses.

"Boom~"

After dinner, the sky was split in half by a bolt of lightning, and the room became much brighter in that instant.

What followed was crackling raindrops hitting the roof of the mountain temple.

Everyone was secretly rejoicing at this moment, fortunately they found a place to shelter from the rain today, otherwise, where would they hide in such heavy rain?

Although the mountain temple has been in disrepair for many years and some places leak, it is much better than the outside.

Shen Li was practicing martial arts, and there were several figures meditating beside him.

"Master, there is a mountain temple ahead. We can't make it back tonight. How about we rest here?"

The young man in brocade clothes inside looked impatient, "Hurry up."

"Yes."

Shen Li stopped meditating when he noticed someone approaching. This mountain temple was quite spacious and could accommodate them.

However, this man has more than a dozen guards, all of whom are armed with swords, and their current identity is refugees, so I hope they won’t cause any trouble.

The dilapidated gate of the mountain temple was pushed open from the outside.

Everyone in the room suddenly woke up and looked at the sword-carrying guards at the door. One of the older guards clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, everyone. My young master is passing by here and will rest here for one night."

The people who were awakened nodded silently. This mountain temple was not theirs, so why should they care who came to rest?

At this time, a young man dressed in gorgeous brocade robes, a golden crown and a jade belt walked in.

The first impression of this young man is that his family is very rich. The brocade robe he is wearing is embroidered with gorgeous gold edges, delicate stitching, and exquisite patterns.

He held a jade fan in his hand. The fan was as white as jade and it was obvious that it was made of very good materials.

When he saw the situation in the mountain temple, his brows were furrowed as if they could pinch a fly to death, but listening to the "crackling" sound of rain outside, he had no choice now.

His guards had come in, found an empty space, and began to skillfully clean the small area.

However, there are always people staying in the mountain temple all year round, and the environment is dirty and messy, and it won’t get much better no matter how hard you try to clean it up.

"Master, please stay here for one night. When the rain stops tomorrow, we will go into the city immediately."

"Ah."

The young man sat down to rest in the place cleaned up by the guards. As for the other people in the mountain temple, they did not attract his attention.

The others were woken up, and after looking at the boy for a while, they went back to sleep.

Shen Li also lay on the straw mat and fell asleep, covered with a thin quilt.

In the middle of the night, a group of masked men in black were quietly approaching the mountain temple in the heavy rain.

After seeing so many carriages parked in the mountain god temple, the person looking back hesitated a little, but then thought about the heavy rain today, and it was not surprising that someone came to the mountain god temple to take shelter from the rain.

Shen Li opened her eyes suddenly. This night was really restless!

"Sigh~"

The red flame under the eaves outside seemed to have sensed something and began to roar uneasily, startling the young man in brocade clothes and his sword-wielding guards.

"Bang bang bang~"

At this time, more than twenty men in black holding cold swords broke through the doors and windows and came in.

"Boom~"

The young man in brocade clothes was awakened by this sudden change and stood up suddenly. At this moment, there was another flash of lightning in the sky, which allowed the man in black to identify his position. He rushed forward with a sword in hand and wrestled with the guards.

The crowd awakened by this sudden change retreated hurriedly, all the way to another corner of the room. Their swords and knives were indiscriminate, and they cleared the space in front for them to fight.

The children in the team were blocked by the adults behind them. This scene was really too bloody.

Shen Li, Shen Changshan, Shen Jingyuan and others stood at the front, holding big swords in their hands, not wanting to join the battle, but wanting to tell the other party.

They will not allow themselves to be bullied, but they will not get involved in their disputes either.

Pei Yu, Tian Qing and An Liu also came here and stood next to Shen Li.

"Go behind the mountain god statue."

After Shen Li finished speaking, everyone ran to the back of the mountain god statue in an orderly manner. At this time, the men in black also retreated together, and many arrows shot in from outside.
