There was no road leading into the cave, so Nie Feng had to drag the cart up. Fortunately, the cart had been used for a long time and was not very heavy.

After entering the cave, Nie Feng used his experience to roughly restore the path he had taken to its original state.

In addition, it was pitch black in the middle of the night, so only those who were very familiar with the terrain could find this place.

The cave was very deep. Nie Feng lit a fire at the deepest air outlet, and there was no sign of anything unusual at the cave entrance.

Nie Shen'er squatted at the entrance of the cave, hiding herself behind a big rock, and carefully listened to the movements outside.

There was a rustling sound, and Nie Shen'er concentrated her attention. It seemed like a snake or insect was crawling past.

There was no sign of pursuers.

Nie Shen'er breathed a sigh of relief temporarily.

In fact, she had a lot of medicinal powders that she had secretly developed.

As it goes by, it will sprinkle on the leaves and branches it passes by. Anyone who passes by and accidentally touches it will be in trouble.

Qingran brand itching powder is effective for all carbon-based humans.

In this life, she has also undergone improvements. People in the deep mountains can collect a lot of poisons, which not only cause itching but also sting.

It's as painful as sprinkling chili peppers on a wound.

Not to mention that those officers and soldiers have not received special training, even if they have received special training, it is difficult for people to withstand the attacks of itching and pain.

Nie Feng frowned and looked towards the cave entrance, feeling uneasy.

He was well aware of the nature of the government soldiers pursuing him.

Is it really possible to hide for a while and then go back and live safely as before, as Shen'er said?

If the officers and soldiers can't find him, will they wait in his house based on the clues?

If he really takes his daughter and wife back in a few days, will his entire family be killed?

The consequences were so tragic that he felt heartbroken just thinking about it.

It doesn't matter if he dies himself, but if Pinghua and Shen'er are implicated as well, then he deserves to die.

But if you ask him about regretting saving people, Nie Feng does not regret it. His personality has always prevented him from doing nothing to help someone in need.

The guilt and confusion that swept through his heart made Nie Feng lean against a rock, staring blankly in the direction of the cave entrance. The cave entrance was too far away from him and he couldn't see clearly, but he knew that there was a small figure sitting there.

His daughter is very sensible and his wife is very kind. They have never blamed him, which makes Nie Feng feel like he is not a human being.

Pinghua didn't care about Nie Feng's mood at this time. She left in a hurry today and didn't even have dinner. Her precious daughter must be starving.

Pinghua took out the pancakes she had baked during the day, put them on the fire and baked them briefly, then buried the sweet potatoes under the ashes. The pancakes did not have a strong taste and did not contain any oil.

There were not many cakes, so Pinghua barely baked one for everyone present.

Nie Feng stood up and was about to go over to call his daughter to eat when Nie Shen'er came back by herself.

Du Yunxi huddled beside her mother, looking at Nie Shen'er on the other side of the fire.

She has a good impression of Nie Shen'er.

Unfortunately, Nie Shen'er always had a cold attitude, so Du Yunxi didn't dare to get close to her and could only look at her secretly.

Looking at the pancake handed to her, Tian Xianglian subconsciously wanted to refuse it.

However, her rumbling stomach prevented her from saying no.

Tian Xianglian took it silently, whispered a thank you, then rummaged through the package and found two strings of copper coins and two pieces of gold jewelry. She handed them to Pinghua and said,

"I have no way to repay your kindness. I only have some money and possessions to repay you."

Pinghua wanted to refuse, but Tian Xianglian was very tough on the matter and forced Pinghua to accept it.

Tian Xianglian knew that she already owed the three of them. If she just said some empty words of thanks, she would feel like she was not a human being. Only by giving some money and property could she barely repay Pinghua's family.

Although the money given is insignificant, it is useful.

Tian Xianglian escaped from the palace in a hurry, but she took with her quite a bit of belongings, enough for an ordinary family to live comfortably for half their lives.

In the original plot, after Tian Xianglian's death, Du Yunxi and Nie Shen'er had no choice but to go to their uncle for help.

He ate and lived at other people's houses, and ate and drank for free at his uncle's house because that group of soldiers had killed people and looted all their property.

Otherwise, Du Yunxi and Nie Shen'er wouldn't be disliked by their uncle so much.

Pinghua was not a greedy person, but Tian Xianglian was so tough that she had to accept it. She felt relieved that the person her family had saved was not an ungrateful person.

Although saving people does not require any reward, who would not be happy when they get a reward?

Nie Shen'er had been hungry for a long time. She had found a martial arts master in the city some time ago and had only learned some basic things to strengthen her body. She had not yet started learning formal martial arts.

There was a round mat made of hay under Nie Shen'er's butt.

She sat cross-legged on the mat and took the cake handed to her by her mother.

The palm-sized pancake is wrapped with a layer of white sesame seeds and sprinkled with sugarcane juice. It has a sweet and fragrant taste. As you eat it slowly, you will feel your stomach, which has been hungry for half a day, warm up.

The dinner was not much, and Nie Shen'er enjoyed it in small bites, while reviewing her behavior of the day in her mind.

After reviewing the situation, she had to admit that she was impulsive today.

If you return to a house that has been targeted by soldiers, you will probably be in danger even if you return after a month.

The best way is to fly away and never go back.

In her previous life, Nie Shen'er had an uncle who was a general, and she knew the sharpness and cruelty of the officers and soldiers.

Perhaps the only consolation at the moment is that the group of officers and soldiers were sent by Empress Lu.

They only hunted down Tian Xianglian and her daughter. In the original plot, if Nie Feng hadn't gotten involved, the soldiers wouldn't have killed him as well.

If possible, Nie Shen'er also wanted to take the initiative to tie up Tian Xianglian and hand her over to the pursuers to solve the problem.

However, if you think about it with your toes, you will know that if you really do this, Nie Feng and Pinghua will definitely be the first to disagree.

That's the trouble with having a chivalrous parent.

Unfortunately, Nie Shen'er was only seven years old. If she were older, she could sneak around to check the trap herself. When she discovered the mother and daughter, she would just ask them to leave.

Nie Shen'er ate the pancake while thinking carefully about her future.

Late at night, the mountains were quiet.

Everyone is asleep.

An hour ago, when the pursuers were tracking, they unfortunately came across the improved version of the itching powder left by Nie Shen'er. It started on the hands and neck, and after scratching, it successfully moved to other parts of the body.

hiss.

The situation is dire.

The pursuers had to stop tracking, and those who were not hit were responsible for dragging their hit companions back along the way to find a doctor for help, and the pursuit had to be put on hold.

In fact, Tian Xianglian and her daughter were not a very important game in Empress Lu's chessboard. Later, Empress Lu even forgot about the mother and daughter.

Otherwise, he would not have forgotten Du Yunxi, who looked so similar to his mother.

The leader of the pursuing troops could not guess what Empress Lu was thinking, but he knew that if he and his subordinates did not go find a doctor, they would probably lose their lives on the road.
