Hunter Gao carried his bow and arrows on his back and held a large knife in his hand: "Qiuzi?"

"Hey, what's the matter, Uncle Gao?"

"It's this mountain. After we get up there, we can't walk on the mountain road at night. We still have to find a place to shelter from the wind and rest for a night. We can walk again tomorrow. It's too dangerous to walk on the mountain road at night!"

Shen Zhiqiu certainly knew this: "Okay, you know the situation in the mountains better than us, we'll listen to you."

"Hit!" Gao Hunter responded loudly and led his men away.

Li Jingshu didn't forget to call her daughter while carrying her son on her back: "Yoyo, hurry up, follow me!"

Shen Youyou, who was very prudent, quickly grabbed her mother and said, "Let's just follow behind. It's dark and we might step on a snake. Think about it. It will be safer if we wait until the people have passed by."

Old Lady Hua gave her third daughter-in-law a look, but it was too dark and Li Jingshu couldn't see: "Old man, old man, please walk slower, hold me a little, or you'll fall down again."

Grandpa Shen stood down obediently. Before he touched Grandma Hua's arm, he heard his sister-in-law Tian Cuifen say "Tsk tsk!"

Well, now Grandpa Shen is in a dilemma. He can neither help nor not help.

Shen Youyou, who couldn't bear to see her grandparents suffer any loss, turned around and asked the Second Grandma:

"Second Grandma, you have a toothache. When you settle down, ask Grandpa Guo to prescribe some medicine for you."

As a result, Old Lady Hua pulled Shen Youyou over and whispered in her ear: "She is looking for trouble, and I am here to confront her. You can't talk like that, it will bring you a bad reputation, don't you know?"

Shen Youyou rolled her eyes. Did she care about her bad reputation? She wasn't planning to get married, so she could just be naughty: "Grandma, I know. I won't say anything anymore."

Shen Zhiqiu wanted to be happy, but her daughter definitely didn't think so.

As a result, he was not paying attention and pulled the wound, causing a "hissing" sound of inhalation.

Shen Youyou believes that any good granddaughter must not disobey her grandmother, at least not verbally.

At worst, you just don't take it to heart. Besides, grandma is doing this for your own good.

"Grandma, please watch your feet. Don't walk so fast!"

"Just go on with your life, or you'll fall down after a while."

The old lady thought: It’s not good for the little granddaughter to be too close to me. She kept nagging all the way and couldn’t sit still.

But she feels happy because she still loves her granddaughter. Look at the eldest granddaughter and the second granddaughter, they hold their own mothers, and the youngest granddaughter holds her grandmother. Otherwise, she would love the younger granddaughter. Why is she partial to her?

Grandpa Shen was supported by his two eldest grandsons. His speed of climbing the mountain was so slow compared to the first day they met. He didn't seem like the same person. Now he had even surpassed Shen Youyou.

My uncle Wang Fuxi shouted, "I walked past this mountain when my father and I were doing business. There is a big cave in front of it. I think we can squeeze in and live there."

What Wang Fuxi meant by traveling for business was actually the contraband sale of salt. If caught at that time, one would be beheaded, so he only dared to walk through the mountains.

There is no other way around it, as the Wang family also came to Shenjia Village to escape famine.

We had nothing at that time, so in order to rebuild our home, we risked being beheaded and did that business for several years.

Later, after I made some money, I bought some land and built a house and then quit.

If ordinary people had some means, who would be willing to do a life-threatening business?

"Follow Fuxi, don't lose him!"

Although Gao Liehu is a hunter, he has never been to the mountains in Henan. They go hunting in the mountains behind their village.

In fact, everyone in the village knew that Wang Fuxi and his son had sold private salt, but who would expose it?

Besides, who would do that unless they have no other choice?

Master Shen was walking very fast, and it turned out that he was trying to catch up with Shen Zhiqiu: "Little Sanzi, come and hold Grandpa, let Tietou and Quanzi pull the cart, your injury doesn't allow you to suffer like this, and we still have to take the imperial examination after we settle down!"

"Grandpa, I didn't use much strength, there's really no need..."

However, Mr. Shen did not give him a chance to object, and dragged him to his side.

Shen Tietou is of the same generation as Shen Zhiqiu. They were born in the same year, but Shen Tietou was a few days later than Shen Zhiqiu.

Grandpa Shen muttered as he walked: "All the foundation of our Shen family is gone. Third child, remember this on the way. When there is danger, you must run first. Only if you are alive, there is hope for our Shen family..."

Again, it seems that the old man still cannot accept abandoning his family and career to escape famine.

He accepted it so calmly and gave everyone firm orders, just to save his children and grandchildren!

Master Shen held Shen Zhiqiu in his hand and didn't even dare to light a torch.

The ten or so men in the front, holding big swords, were left there to clear the way.

In case of sudden danger, I always have something in my hand, in case I am too late.

The four men also had to use knives to clear the path through the tall weeds and tangled vines.

During the climb, Shen Zhiqiu was injured and Li Quan was pushing the cart.

My eldest uncle, Wang Fuxi, knew the way, so he was also replaced and became the leader of the ten people.

The sound of a big knife cutting grass was heard in front, which was also to scare away the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the grass.

The road also had to be made a little wider to allow the cows and horses to pass, as well as the men pushing the carts at the back.

It can also make it easier for the elderly and children to walk.

If there are branches or something blocking the way, they must all be cut down to prevent the black stuff from scratching the children's eyes.

However, the men left these branches behind.

Why? Isn't there ready-made firewood? Can I just go into the cave and sleep there?

Don't you have to light a fire to drive away the snakes, insects, rats and ants first?

How can it be good to live with those things and so many children?

On one side of Old Lady Hua is her little granddaughter, and on the other side is her old man.

Shen Youyou supported her grandmother with one hand and held her mother, who was carrying her younger brother, with the other hand.

The four of them have been at the rear of the team

This was mainly because Shen Youyou was afraid of being bitten by mosquitoes, so she put on the mosquito net pocket that her mother had sewed for her.

Old Mrs. Hua was so scared that her granddaughter said that if she went out alone at night like this, she would scare others to death.

Imagine that in the darkness, a figure covered in a white hood suddenly appeared.

Dressed like this, if Shen Youyou stood on this hillside, even if the conscripts caught up with her, she wouldn't dare to come up.

He was so scared that he turned around and ran away.

Speak of the devil, here comes the devil. Just when I was thinking of recruiting soldiers, I saw a fire on the road over there.

Judging from their speed, they were riding horses. Fortunately, they went up the mountain in advance. When they went up the mountain, they used the remaining broken wooden boards as camouflage and threw them far away.

"Everyone squat down, squat down, don't move, big tiger, don't let the cattle and horses make any noise, and watch the children."

Shen Zhiqiu said this. A child can still cover his mouth, but how can cows and horses stand still?

At this time, everyone was so nervous that they dared not breathe.

As they watched the team getting closer, they would soon pass by the place where they climbed the mountain.

Shen Youyou didn't dare to breathe out, and at this moment, a horse snorted.

Everyone thought something bad was going to happen.

Their hearts tightened, and many men quietly clenched the swords in their hands.

In such a tense atmosphere, the riders held torches in one hand and reins in the other.

Of course this is not what they saw, it is purely their imagination.

From the foot of this mountain,

Shen Youyou also counted the number of torches, but there were too many people and she couldn't count them clearly, probably around dozens.
