Everyone was shocked at first.

Then doubts.

"Half, what?"

When Mr. Shen saw Shen Ying looking over, he cleared his throat and said, "No matter how you arrange it, the current carriage is just one car for each family, and we will use it as one car for each family when the time comes.

Cut off half of everyone's belongings and exchange them for money or hemp ropes, and let the animals carry their own food. Go back today and do this for everyone. Make a decision before the evening, and then work together to figure out how to deal with the things that have been divided up."

The old man suddenly cooperated with Shen Ying so well that not only others but even Shen Ying was a little surprised.

Well, judging from Mr. Shen's attitude, he probably won't doubt me and try to eliminate me.

Shen Ying set an example and discussed the matter with her parents.

"Don't bring the embroidery frame. Just three bowls are enough. Throw away the rest of the plates and other things. No, just replace all the bowls with bamboo ones that are shatterproof."

After counting, just give half of the things away.

In order to make Shen Youtian and his friends not feel too disappointed, Shen Ying put the extra bedding and some food utensils in her carriage on theirs. "How about this, I sleep and take up a lot of space, so my carriage will be empty for me to use. You can help me pack my things. Anyway, we won't separate... I'll ask you for it when I need it."

Shen Youtian and his wife looked at each other. The guilt of not being able to raise his head in front of their daughter for two or three times in a row instantly turned into a solemn trust in their daughter. They said, "This is yours, no one can touch it."

It seems that having more supplies means there is a risk, but Shen Youtian and his wife were very happy to see it and made such guarantees repeatedly.

Shen Ying smiled, but she felt a little relaxed in her heart.

Before, she was too anxious because some situations occurred that were not in line with her plan. She even relied on the mall space and the advantages of modern people, and was too superior to the ancients. She took it for granted that she thought with modern thinking.

“Perhaps, I should blend in more. A drop of water falling into the sea is the hardest to find, but also the safest.”

Afterwards, Shen Ying took the initiative to invite everyone to dinner in the evening. She paid for a meal of four dishes, a soup, a meal and a steamed bun.

During the meal, the originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.

When the Shen family began to deal with the cleaned-up materials, Qi Yanchuan shook off Xu Jinlian and came over again to share information with Shen Ying.

"The team she's waiting for will arrive in ten days, so she's been asking for money and property in a roundabout way. What do you think? Should we leave together in ten days, or should we leave right away?"

"We can only stay for one more day at most. While my family is still breathing hard, we should quickly climb over this mountain. What do you think?"

"I also think that the sooner we leave, the better. You should have noticed when we were in Wanzhou City before that there were more and more refugees. This means that everyone has realized their mistake and started running south.

If we don’t leave now, we might get into trouble. In the past two days, I’ve noticed that more and more villagers have come to the town to inquire about the news.”

After the two of them calmed down, Qi Yanchuan started talking more.

I am very serious about sharing the news I have received.

Shen Ying suddenly wanted to know what excuse he had used to deceive Xu Jinlian and get so much information out of her.

"I said I dug up gold at home, and the villagers saw it and threatened me to give away half of it. I originally planned to leave the village and hide for two years, but ended up leaving without anyone noticing. In order to gain her trust, I also gave her some food and daily necessities."

"Ah, speaking of food, wait a minute." Shen Ying looked outside. Her father was still guarding the second floor while the two were talking. Even if he was not standing at the door, Qi Yanchuan would definitely be discovered if he went downstairs carrying things.

Not wanting to lie any more, Shen Ying asked him to wait for her in the backyard of the inn.

"I said yesterday that I would prepare some food for you. So, bring all the water bags here and I'll fill them up. I'll also give you twenty taels of silver, uh... the vacuum-packed biscuits and bacon, and some things for the children."

He provided such useful information without hesitation, and twenty taels and some food and supplies were not a very generous reward.

So Shen Ying also planned to buy them a mule to make it easier for them to travel in the mountains.

"Twenty taels is enough. I'll buy a horse and ride it when the time comes. Give me some sunscreen."

It's not for whitening. For some people who are dark-skinned, it's useless even if they apply ten or a hundred bottles of sunscreen. It's just for protection against ultraviolet rays.

Although that universal liquid can solve most of the body's problems, it is probably better not to use it since it is rare.

Shen Ying agreed. "What about weapons? Do you have enough weapons? I plan to use the excuse of sharpening farm tools to get a few self-defense weapons at the same time."

"Do you have a crossbow or something like that?"

"Let me see. Actually, I haven't seen all of the places I own. If I find them, I'll prepare a copy for you."

The two of them said everything they needed to say and agreed to set off together tomorrow.

Because Qi Yanchuan got the local map.

"I didn't realize that Qi Yanchuan, you are quite capable." In the past, in that small and three-acre land, Qi Yanchuan's background was pitifully low, and his own situation has always been better and more popular.

Until he fled the famine, he had never lived a comfortable life and his interpersonal relationships were average. Unexpectedly, after moving so far away, he became more active.

Qi Yanchuan smiled bitterly.

He is the kind of person who has had a smooth life from birth to adulthood, and he doesn't have to consider financial or life difficulties when doing anything he wants.

Even if he accidentally gets into trouble, there is a team around him to solve the problem or even fight back. He doesn't need to do much. He just needs to go out and relax when he is annoyed.

Probably because of this, I took a long time to recover at the beginning, and even naively held the excuse that I could travel the world with reason, and went to the Xu family like a fool.

But reality may really teach people how to behave.

After abandoning some ideas, he also learned and integrated into this era as quickly as possible.

Needless to say, when I go out, I feel more clearly that being a man is a very convenient identity. Men are treated better than women by all walks of life, men and women, young and old.

Combining the political dramas he had played in the past with his acting skills, he even felt like a fish in water when communicating with people in this era.

"My dad is still outside. See you downstairs later."

Shen Youtian watched Qi Yanchuan go downstairs with a serious expression, while his daughter calmly asked for water to wash up.

He muttered something about not wasting money, but Shen Ying said that she didn't know when she would take a shower again after leaving here. He didn't say anything in response and just went to his room to talk to his wife.

After the water was delivered to the room, Shen Ying closed the door and went downstairs.

After successfully arriving at the backyard and finding his carriage, Qi Yanchuan squatted in a corner not far away and only stood up when he saw Shen Ying coming.

"You stay here." Shen Ying got into the carriage and soon prepared everything she needed.

As for the crossbow.

In the mall, Shen Ying held up a telescope and looked at the escalator, winding upwards floor by floor.

"Got it, the shooting club!" It's on the eleventh floor.

Wait, the eleventh floor???
