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

Ergou's expression didn't change when he heard that the man was dead.

Shen Jinyao once thought that Ergou was not afraid of this person.

There must be other people.

Shen Jinyao wanted to ask more, but she saw Le Yao running towards her from a distance.

"Ergou, you're being lazy again. The fish we bought scared itself to death. Come and help me grill it."

Ergou smiled and said, "I'll be right there."

Then he said to Shen Jinyao, "I'll go over first, Miss."

"Just call me Big Sister, just like them."

After all, Ergou is different from others.

The brothers of the Zong family and the Meng family were both hired by the Shen family.

The servants of the Shen family are all part of the Shen family.

Only Ergou is different from them.

So Shen Jinyao let him do the same as Le Yao and Zhiye.

Ergou was very happy after hearing what Shen Jinyao said. He smiled and called her "big sister", then followed Le Yao.

Shen Jinyao had suspected Ergou before.

She felt that his identity and origin were unknown, and she was worried that he would pose a threat to the Shen family.

She could tell from what happened today.

Ergou should not have any hostility towards their family.

As for his identity...

What kind of children would be abducted and sold by people from the Western Regions?

But she could see that Ergou really didn't want to talk about this.

If his existence is beneficial to the Shen family, then don't say it if you don't want to.

She no longer hesitated.

Because I went to the city to buy new ingredients today, the dinner was very sumptuous.

After dinner, they began to discuss their next route.

Zong Cheng took the map and said to everyone, "Let's start from here and head south. We will reach Raozhou in about five days."

Shen Jinyao looked at the map and said, "There are mountains once we enter Raozhou. Can our carriage make it through?"

At this time, Meng Da pointed to the map and said, "The mountain roads are all long detours. Carriages can go through them, but they cannot change the route at will."

Shen Jinyao nodded, meaning that they couldn't go back and change the route as they did before.

Shen Zhixue: "Then we need to prepare more supplies, otherwise this route is very far from the county town."

Meng Er smiled and said, "No need. Aren't there mountains here? As long as there are mountains, you won't starve to death."

Shen Jinyao has never lived in the mountains, but she likes to camp in the mountains.

Compared with the Meng brothers, they are definitely dwarfed by the giants.

Shen Jinyao: "Okay, let's prepare as much as we can, and when we enter Raozhou, let the Meng brothers lead the way."

"it is good."

After a few days of getting along, everyone began to accept the brothers of the Meng family.

They all have some abilities, and they are all very honest and upright.

Since they said they were familiar with the roads in the mountains, no one questioned them.

They also have experience staying overnight.

Except for the old lady who had to live in the carriage, everyone else lay on straw mats.

Men sleep on the left side of the carriage and women sleep on the right side.

Shen Jinyao sometimes thought that the sky was clear now, but if they encountered bad weather on the road in the future, they would not be able to sleep in the open air like this.

She still needs to think of something.

Shen Jinyao asked Ergou about Doctor Gao's location in Raozhou.

But Ergou always said it was just ahead.

After asking twice, Shen Jinyao stopped asking.

She felt a little strange, but didn't ask any further questions.

With the addition of the Meng brothers, each of the Shen family's children has changed a lot.

Shen Zhiyong's kung fu is getting stronger and stronger, and his silver spear can already take on three people at once.

Shen Zhixue took the children to read every day, and even Meng Wu knew a few words.

In addition, his archery skills have also improved a lot.

Shen Zhiye has made great progress in archery and is also the best at abacus among the children.

Only Zhixin has been spending time reading medical books.

But there are still some things that I don’t quite understand.

Shen Jinyao advised him not to worry, at least he was considered to be at the advanced nursing level.

After all, he was the one who took care of the old lady, Madam Shen and the third lady.

After a few days of travel, they will reach Raozhou tomorrow.

Shen Jinyao was sleeping soundly that night when she suddenly opened her eyes.

The ones keeping watch now are Meng Da and Dali.

The two of them also heard the noise. They looked at each other and then went to call for help.

The Shen family members were called up one by one.

Shen Leyao rubbed her eyes, not understanding why she had overslept today.

It's still more than an hour before dawn, why were you suddenly woken up?

Shen Tingyao wanted to speak, but Shen Zhixue shook his head at her.

Everyone held their breath, and Shen Jinyao asked them all to lie on the ground.

In the past, they had never encountered anyone traveling in the middle of the night.

The last time I encountered a large group of people was when I came across Dingcheng Escort Agency.

To be on the safe side, they decided to observe the situation first.

Shen Jinyao listened carefully.

There were many people listening to the sound.

Shen Zhiyong asked Zong Cheng beside him, "Brother Zong, can you hear it?"

Zong Cheng whispered, "There are the sounds of wheels and a lot of footsteps, but no horse hooves."

Zongshi continued, "There are at least a thousand of them."

Everyone around could hear what Zongshi said.

More than a thousand people is not a small number. What exactly do these people do?

They will reach Raozhou tomorrow. Judging from their direction, they are coming from Raozhou.

Not long after, they could see a large, dark group of people walking towards them from a distance.

The place where they were stationed was more than a hundred meters away from the road.

It's just that their five carriages are a bit conspicuous.

"Look, what is that?"

"Why are there so many carriages?"

"Is it a caravan?"

"There can't be so few carriages in the caravan. This must be some wealthy family out for a sightseeing trip."

"Who's going sightseeing so late at night..."

"Stop talking nonsense. They must have water and food."

"Let's go and rob it."

"That's not good. There are so many people watching in front..."

"The people in front are just pretending to be noble, but they are actually starving to death."

"Come on..."

Everyone was listening, even the old lady and Nanny Li in the carriage held their breath.

Shen Jinyao said to Le Yao, "Le Yao, go get everyone's weapons."

Le Yao: "Why me?"

Zhiye: "Because you are the shortest."

Le Yao gave Zhiye a fierce look, then crouched down and went to get her weapon.

Before she even reached the carriage, silver spears, machetes, bows and arrows jumped out one after another.

Le Yao blinked her eyes. Could it be that she saw a ghost?

"Le Yao, what are you doing? Hurry up and send it to your elder sister."

Le Yao patted her head, oh, it turned out to be her grandmother!

Shen Leyao went to the carriage and quietly took the telescope.

She gave one to Ergou and Zhiye respectively.

Zhiye exclaimed with the telescope in hand, "Sister, they are coming."

Le Yao: "Eight people came over, all men."

Ergou: "The people in front of them continued walking, and the people behind them stopped."
