After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

After arriving in Longzhou, Shen Jinyao discovered an obvious change.

Not only were there more refugees traveling with them, but the weather was also not as hot.

Of course, water sources are still hard to find.

But the temperature dropped a few degrees, so people didn't feel particularly uncomfortable even if they drank less water.

Even when traveling, they adjusted their schedules to early morning and evening, and began to rest normally at night.

Others also noticed this change.

They all thought the drought might be ending.

Or maybe the drought in Longzhou is not that severe.

After entering Longzhou, the Shen family's pace slowed down.

Thanks to Dr. Gao's treatment, Mrs. Shen and the third wife finally recovered a lot.

The third wife no longer felt her stomach was so tight.

The only person who hadn't changed was the old lady.

According to Doctor Gao, the old lady will be able to get out of bed in one or two months.

This has become the only thing the old lady looks forward to now.

In addition to traveling every day, Shen Jinyao also inquired about news from various fleeing teams.

One day, Shen Jinyao unexpectedly met a group of people fleeing from Luzhou.

"We were unlucky. It kept raining in Luzhou, so we kept heading north."

“Who knew it would get so hot and humid when we got to Raozhou?”

"Where are you from?"

Shen Jinyao: "From Raozhou."

Others didn't understand why they encountered more and more people coming from Raozhou.

Shen Jinyao looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and said, "There's a drought there, and there's often no water to drink."

"Ah... that's better than getting drowned."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said nothing.

This is the embarrassment of not having a weather forecast.

People in dry areas cannot stand drought, and people in rainy areas cannot stand floods.

Shen Jinyao also asked them how heavy the rain was.

According to them, the rain has been falling intermittently for more than four months.

Shen Jinyao understood the general situation and thought that she must come up with a plan when the time comes.

This day was also their fifth day in Longzhou.

The weather was getting better and better, and even the water near the mountain was increasing.

That evening, the Shen family, after a day of traveling, failed to find a good place to rest.

They just found a flat ground and set up camp.

Ever since Meng Si came, he has been cooking almost all the meals for the Shen family.

Everyone else retreated to the second line and became a helper.

Shen Tingyao hasn't caused much trouble recently and has adapted to this rhythm and life.

Shen Jinyao was watching Meng Si cook.

She secretly took out four fish from the space and said she caught them herself.

When they stopped as a group, everyone was busy, so when Shen Jinyao left with the fish basket and came back with two fish, no one suspected anything was wrong.

Previously, due to water shortage, they could only grill fish if they ate it.

This time we had water, so we started stewing the fish.

Just like that, the fragrance has spread far away.

However, because the fragrance was too strong, it attracted the attention of other refugees nearby.

Some of them cast envious glances, some were jealous, and some were calculating in their hearts.

However, the Shen family no longer cares about what these people think.

"Meng Si, your cooking skills are really good."

Meng Si: "Haha, it's okay, as long as you like it."

The fish cooked by Meng Si was so delicious that it kept attracting people to come and watch.

Zhiyong: "Meng Si, is it cooked? Can we eat it?"

Shen Leyao: "I want to eat too."

Lanlan: "I'll have a bite too."

Although the others didn't say anything, they all prepared their chopsticks.

People nearby were a little confused, wondering where they caught the fish from?

The key point is that it’s okay to catch fish, but why are all the things on the guy so intact?

The fish is still so fragrant.

Some people were so tempted that they walked to the vicinity of Shen's house out of curiosity.

"Hey, brother, the fish you cook at home is so delicious."

The person being questioned was Zhang Er. Zhang Er glanced at the man when he heard the words.

He didn't say much, just smiled and nodded.

Unexpectedly, the man then asked: "Where did you catch this fish?"

Zhang Er pursed his lips in Shen Jinyao's direction and said, "Go ask our boss."

The man looked in the direction Zhang Er said.

There stood a man with a sword hanging from his waist and a knife in his arms.

Shen Jinyao felt someone was looking at her, so she looked over.

All those people ran away in fear.

"Their boss is so scary."

"Yeah, that look is like it wants to eat someone."

"It would be fine if he just held a sword, but he actually held a knife. It looks like he knows some martial arts."

"But that fish...it's so fragrant."

"How about this..."

At this time, someone said in a deep voice: "At night, let's go steal some fish to eat."

Someone chuckled after hearing this, "Haha, by then there won't even be any soup left."

"Then let's go find something else delicious."

Everyone was a little hesitant, but thinking of the delicious fish just now, they all agreed to steal some food late at night.

The Shen family and others didn't know yet, but because Meng Si's cooking smelled so good, they were being watched by the people around them.

At this time, the people of the Shen family had eaten all the fish and not even the soup was left.

They had no idea that danger was waiting for them nearby.

After dinner, the Shen family began to arrange people to guard the master.

It was Zong Cheng who arranged everything every time, and Shen Jinyao hadn't asked about it for a long time.

In Zong Cheng's words, with so many men, there is no need for women at all.

They usually form a team of four and change teams every two hours.

When it was late at night, Zong Cheng, Meng Da, Shen Zhiyong and Er Gou were on guard.

The reason for this arrangement is because Shen Jinyao said that late at night is when thieves are active and when people are most sleepy.

Therefore, during this period of time, several people who know some martial arts will usually be assigned to keep watch.

The few people who said they wanted to steal things during the day also gathered in the dark place at this time.

"Listen to me later. If I say go, we'll go together."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"After we've robbed them, we won't go back. We'll just run."

"Okay, let's go now. Hold on to your sticks and we'll knock the four of them out in no time."

These people nodded confidently.

Then he bent over and walked slowly towards the Shen family.

Soon, they heard what seemed to be a sound above their heads.

Someone looked up.

His eyes widened instantly.

"Mom, look quickly."

His voice was quite loud and many people around him heard it.

"Run, let's go back quickly."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"It looks like a killer, heading towards the opposite side."

"Let's get away from them quickly and don't get dragged down."

At this time, the man in black had already arrived at the Shen family’s camp.
