He Lai Di really wanted to curse, but she knew that her current sister-in-law was not someone she could afford to offend. Even her mother-in-law had to stay away from them. If she got beaten, according to the nature of that family, no one would support her.

After thinking it through, she forced herself to suppress her anger and walked in front of Lin Cuicui and the others. She pretended not to hear what Shen Jiaojiao said who was following behind her.

When something happens, he just stands there doing nothing and doesn't lend a hand.

Eat everything inside and out!

Lin Cuicui glanced at Li Qiaolan and said, "Sister Qiaolan, you are amazing."

"For those who are shameless like them, we can't give them face."

Li Qiaolan took Lin Cuicui to continue looking for wild vegetables, and whispered some experiences to Lin Cuicui.

Lin Cuicui listened very carefully and kept it in mind.

Shen Li walked beside Shen Changshan. Jiang Huaichuan always said some inexplicable things, but the original owner did not know him.

What is going on!

Could it be that he has some intentions towards me?

Or is there something in your own home that he needs?

They walked for more than half an hour before they dispersed. Shen Li and Shen Changshan were walking together. Suddenly, they found a lot of fallen thorn balls on the ground in front of them.

Shen Li was delighted and ran over to take a look. They were indeed chestnuts. However, due to lack of water, the chestnuts were only slightly larger than a fingernail.

It’s a little small, but it’s big enough.

Shen Li looked at the chestnut trees nearby and a smile spread across her face.

Shen Changshan also came over, "Ali, you... so many chestnuts?"

"Dad, call them all over, and add a few more people to go back to the camp and tell them. We finally met them, and we can't let them go."

"Yes, Ali is right."

Shen Changshan went to call everyone over, and at the same time arranged for three people to go back and call people over. They squatted on the ground and picked up the trash on the ground first.

The chestnuts that fell on the ground had all opened and could be easily opened with the help of hands.

Everyone picked them up together, and all the chestnuts on the ground were picked up quickly.

After picking up all the chestnuts on the ground, a few strong men climbed up the tree and shook them down, and the people under the tree stood a little further away.

There is no rush to pick chestnuts. It will take a long time. If you hit your head with them, you will suffer.

Soon, the people who went to call for help came back, and with them came some women, who brought several carts and sacks.

It was getting dark, and everyone was holding sacks and speeding up their work to pick up the chestnuts with their shells.

Someone nearby was responsible for holding up a torch to illuminate the area. After working for a long time, they finally picked all the chestnuts from the trees. The group pushed the chestnuts through the forest.

When they returned to the resting place, the moon was already high in the sky. Everyone was very hungry, so after leaving the chestnuts with the village chief, they went back to eat.

Shen Zhenyuan organized the people who stayed in the camp to rest, and they picked out the chestnuts overnight. With strength in numbers, they finished the job quickly. In the end, each family received 20 kilograms of chestnuts.

After the meal, Shen Li was so tired that she could only yawn. This body was too small and she got tired easily. She fell on the straw mat and fell asleep quickly.

The official road in the mountains was a bit bumpy, and the team couldn't move very fast, but there was one advantage: it wasn't that hot in the mountains.

Since entering the forest, they could not see any other fleeing groups around them.

"Ali, this is for you."

Shen Yuanzhou handed over two yellow prickly ash balls, "They're ripe and not sour anymore."

"Thank you, third brother."

They were at the front of the team. Shen Yuanzhou and Lin Feng would sometimes walk a little forward and then go into the woods on both sides to look for something. The Cipao was what they had just found.

Shen Li took it, removed the small thorns on the outside, took a bite, and it tasted pretty good, sour and sweet.

"Third brother, do you have more of this? I think my sister-in-law will like this."

Shen Yuanzhou took out a few more pills from the small cloth bag hanging on his body and stuffed them into Shen Li's arms.

"Also, these are for you, and the rest are for my sister-in-law and mother."

After Shen Yuanzhou finished speaking, he walked to the mule cart at the back and stuffed the cloth bag into the hands of his eldest brother Shen Jingyuan.

"Brother, these are the prickly ash I picked. Give them to sister-in-law to try."

Shen Jingyuan's eyes lit up, he opened the bag directly, grabbed a few prickly ash, and moved closer to Xu Taohua.

"Taohua, come here, this is delicious."

It just so happened that Xu Taohua had not had a very good appetite these past two days. Shen Li's spiritual fruit helped alleviate the problem a little, but she still couldn't eat much.

Xu Taohua also heard the conversation between Ayuan and his third brother, and reached out to take the prickly ash that her husband had cleaned off the thorns.

Under Shen Jingyuan's gaze, she stuffed the prickly ash into her mouth and nodded at him with a smile, "Delicious."

Shen Jingyuan also smiled naively, continued to process the remaining prickly bubbles, and stuffed them into Xu Taohua's hands.

"As long as it tastes good, if you want more, I'll find more for you."

"Row."

Shen Yuanzhou felt so annoyed when he saw his elder brother like that that he ran back to Shen Li.

As we walked, a dead tree appeared in front of us, blocking the road. The tree was placed in the middle of the road, and it was obvious that someone had placed it there on purpose.

The team slowly stopped, Shen Li and Shen Changshan walked forward to see, Shen Zhenyuan had already asked Shen Yanshan to notify everyone to be careful.

"This is someone trying to rob people on the road."

Longhu Village has been entrenched in Maoer Mountain for several years, and usually makes a living by robbing passing merchants and passers-by. For some unknown reason, the imperial court has never sent troops to suppress the bandits.

This is a time of chaos, so don't expect anyone to take care of them.

Sure enough, as soon as the team stopped, more than 20 burly men with swords in their hands appeared in front of the dead tree.

The big man in the lead glanced at the team in front with his inverted triangle eyes.

"You guys are not rich, so I'm going to do a good deed today."

Then he pointed with his big hand and said, "Leave your mules, cattle and provisions here, and a few pretty girls, and you can pass."

After he finished speaking, with a smug smile on his face, his eyes stayed on Shen Li, and he laughed, "This young lady is good, she must stay."

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

After he finished speaking, the twenty or so brothers around him burst into laughter.

Shen Li curled the corners of her mouth. This man has a very unique vision!

Shen Changshan, Shen Jingyuan and others looked extremely ugly. They immediately stood in front of Shen Li, covering her figure completely.

Shen Zhenyuan's face didn't look good either, but as the village chief, he couldn't fall down at this time.

"My dear men, can we discuss this again? If we leave all the food and livestock behind, we will have no way to survive."

A big man at the back immediately jumped out and said, "Bah, your lack of livelihood is none of our business. We are giving you face by giving you food and livestock."

"Otherwise, all of you will never be able to leave Maoer Mountain, and you won't even bother to find out whose territory Maoer Mountain belongs to!"

"If you know what's best for you, leave your things here quickly, or no one will be able to leave!"
