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

Although Shen Leyao was a little unhappy when she heard this question, she still answered truthfully.

"Ergou never asked about these things. He always took me and Zhiye out to play, and sometimes he would study with Third Brother."

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "You look unhappy, why are you still siding with others?"

Shen Leyao pouted and said, "Sister, I don't think Ergou is a bad person..."

Shen Jinyao explained, "That might be because you're overthinking it. You must remember that no matter what, you must not tell anyone that we are exiles."

Shen Leyao nodded, "Don't worry, big sister, I'm not a stupid child."

Shen Jinyao remembered something and asked Le Yao, "Who do you think is better in martial arts, him or your eldest brother?"

Le Yao thought for a moment, "They haven't competed before, and I haven't seen Ergou's martial arts yet."

Shen Jinyao said: "Okay, I understand, go and have fun."

Le Yao didn't leave, but asked, "Sister, can we leave something for Ergou before we go? He's so pitiful."

Shen Jinyao didn't expect that Ergou had never told Le Yao about going to Raozhou.

Shen Jinyao touched Le Yao's head and said, "Of course."

"That's great, big sister."

After seeing Le Yao off, Shen Jinyao went to find Ergou after a while.

At this time, Ergou was fetching water with Zhiyong at the water's edge not far away.

Shen Jinyao stabbed Ergou in the back with a sword.

Ergou dodged nimbly.

Ergou was angry: "What do you mean?"

Zhiyong was stunned. He asked, "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Shen Jinyao did not answer, but continued to fight with Ergou with the sword raised.

At first Ergou kept dodging, but later when he found there was no way to dodge, he used his hands to block the arrow.

The river was not far from the Shen family. People from the Shen family and the village all saw Shen Jinyao and Ergou fighting.

Zhiyong watched from the side, not knowing how to help.

At this time, Le Yao ran over and said excitedly, "Second brother, look how powerful Ergou is!"

Not only Le Yao, everyone saw Ergou's strength.

Every move Shen Jinyao makes is fatal and ordinary people cannot withstand it.

Ergou also began to struggle. He found that he really couldn't win, so he started jumping up and down.

Sometimes he jumped onto a tree, sometimes he ran on the ground.

The brothers of the Zong family were stunned. They didn't expect that an inconspicuous Ergou was actually a master.

At least my Qinggong skills are better than theirs.

The five brothers of the Meng family who watched the whole process from the side did not expect that there was a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Miss Huo's family.

They certainly can't jump up the tree in one go.

Looking at Shen Jinyao again, her lightness skills are not good, but her explosive power and stability are not comparable to theirs.

Ergou found that even if he was dodging, Shen Jinyao did not retreat.

He could only hide behind Mrs. Shen.

Madam Shen: "Jin'er!"

The old lady couldn't see clearly while lying down, but from the discussions of the people around her, she knew that Shen Jinyao and Ergou had started fighting.

She called out, "Jin'er?"

We were talking fine just now, why did they turn around and start fighting?

Ergou, who was hiding behind Mrs. Shen, did not come out, and Shen Jinyao took the opportunity to stop.

Madam Shen said with a serious face: "Jin'er, don't make trouble! This is our family's benefactor!"

Shen Jinyao smiled and said, "Mother, we are just exchanging martial arts skills."

Mrs. Shen turned around and glanced at Ergou.

Ergou exposed his hands and arms, which were covered with red patches.

It was obviously hit by Shen Jinyao's sword.

"Look, is there such a way of sparring?"

Ergou didn't know what Shen Jinyao was going to do, so he stood up and said, "Madam, I'm fine."

Shen Jinyao said, "How can I take you to Raozhou if I don't test your skills?"

Ergou was stunned.

What does that mean? Is she going to take him to Raozhou?

The others didn’t understand what Ergou meant. Did he want to go with them?

Shen Leyao didn’t understand. The fight between the two of them just now was really exciting. It turned out that Ergou was so powerful.

But why do you say you should follow them?

Ergou calmed himself down and said, "Can I go with you?"

This is his only chance.

Shen Jinyao nodded, "You are quite skilled. Starting tomorrow, you and Le Yao will be responsible for the old lady's safety. If there is no money, just provide her with food and lodging."

Ergou nodded, "Okay."

Although his face still had that expression of no desire, he was very excited inside.

I even choked up at one point.

But he held it back so that others wouldn't notice.

At this time, Shen Jinyao said, "You all saw it, Ergou is quite skilled. Ergou will be the captain from now on. If you don't agree, you can try to fight him."

Ergou, who was so moved just now, now doubted whether Shen Jinyao did it on purpose.

Everyone knew that Ergou was going with this family, and they were all happy for him.

At noon, the eldest lady even cooked an extra chicken.

After arranging all these, Shen Jinyao had time to find the five brothers of the Meng family.

They looked at Shen Jinyao in front of them and felt a little uneasy.

Even if Shen Jinyao's clothes didn't say anything, a group of people followed her lead, and almost the whole family listened to her arrangements.

Such a person must be the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.

Moreover, when she competed with Ergou just now, they realized that Brother Jin... Oh, no, the eldest lady's martial arts were so powerful.

Shen Jinyao came to find them, apparently to say goodbye to them.

It's time for them to go home.

Meng Da: "Jin...Miss."

Shen Jinyao smiled apologetically, "You can call me Master Jin or Brother Jin outside. Sorry, Brother Meng, I need to hide my identity when I go out."

Meng Da and his companions expressed their understanding.

Shen Jinyao continued, "You've seen our family's situation. We're going to Quzhou to visit relatives."

"Those two over there, one is called Zong Cheng and the other is called Zong Shi."

"They are from the escort agency, and they are escorting us to Quzhou. I wonder what the Meng brothers' future plans are?"

Meng Da looked at his brothers and said, "What plans do I have? Of course I'll go home and see if I can get some land to farm, or continue to help other families."

Shen Jinyao said, "I remember Brother Meng said that there are only five of you brothers left in the family, right?"

Meng Da nodded. He didn't know what Shen Jinyao meant, he just told the truth.

"In that case, are you willing to go to Quzhou with us?"

"Don't get me wrong, you're not the same as Ergou. I'll pay you according to the escort's price."

Not far away, Ergou's mouth twitched.

I wish I had known he wouldn't eavesdrop.

Meng Da said, "Miss, what can we do?"

He didn't want Brother Jin to take them with him just because he felt sorry for them.

Shen Jinyao guessed Meng Da's thoughts and said, "I was only away for a few days, and the house was in chaos. Look at our family, young and old, everyone needs protection."

"You are hunters, you can use bows and arrows, and you also have some martial arts skills. We are all close friends, so it's better to go to you than to someone I don't know well."

Meng Da hesitated, but Meng Er said, "Brother, I think the eldest lady is right."
