Shen Miaozhu was calm and composed: "Adapt to the circumstances."

Shen Lingzhu complained: "I think it's just nonsense."

"Then just listen to me tell you a story." After Shen Miaozhu joked, she threw the crossbow to her and walked forward with steady steps to take over the aunt who was supported by her uncle.

Shen Lingzhu turned around and handed the slingshot and crossbow to her eldest brother, performing her unique skills in front of him without him having done anything.

"Uncle, these people are so fierce. They beat me and my brother with sticks." We were forced to fight back.

Shen Huai looked at her and her eldest niece, who were neither blushing nor out of breath, and then looked at his son, who was panting and sweating while holding a pile of things. It was obvious that he looked so tired that his face would turn red after beating anyone.

This situation inexplicably gave him the illusion that he had two nephews and a daughter.

But he was still worried about the two little ones. He raised his hand and pulled his niece over to take a closer look, then asked, "Are you scared? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Everyone:......

"My hand hurts." Shen Lingzhu was amazed. Her uncle was so nice that he didn't criticize her. She stretched out her left injured hand which had not yet healed.

Mrs. Hu noticed that there was a lot of dirt on the cloth on her injured hand, so she pulled it over and was about to ask them to change the bandage quickly, but the five brothers who were beaten black and blue refused to cooperate.

“We didn’t fight at all, and we didn’t succeed.

"Your two daughters are more ferocious than a tigress?

"I'm the one who's in pain, you hit me with so many sticks.

"Hey, you little girl, stop talking nonsense. Who is hitting whom?" The one closest to them was the fifth son of the Lu family. He kicked a clod of earth under his feet and threw it towards Shen Lingzhu.

Unfortunately, he was not a martial arts master, and the clod of earth could not hit anyone at all. The driver hit him on the foot with a stick, and he screamed in pain.

"Old Five!" The tallest one, Boss Lu, quickly said to Shen Huai, "Sir, we are not here to fight, we are here to ask you for medicine."

"Oh, asking for medicine? Throwing a hammer at my elder brother and asking for medicine? If it's even an inch off, it will hit his head." Shen Lingzhu didn't believe it.

Shen Xianzhu nodded repeatedly on the side. He had just been hit with a stick. If his brain became dull, how could he pass the imperial examination? So when he and his sister were fighting, he used all his strength.

Boss Lu said, "My Xiaowu has a bad temper. He rushes without thinking when he sees someone running away."

Shen Huai frowned: "Miao Zhu, give him some medicine."

"father!"

"Uncle!"

Shen Lingzhu and his elder brother tried to stop them. It was obvious that these five people were not asking for medicine, they had other purposes.

Only Senior Sister Miaozhu said nothing and went to the car to get the medicine silently.

Shen Huai signaled the two children to keep quiet, then turned to the five people and said bluntly, "The five acres of land you got for free were taken away again. I know you are upset.

Let’s settle the matter between us today, otherwise…”

He pulled an arrow from his son's arms and snapped it in front of the five brothers. "What did you think?"

"No..." Just as Lv Laowu uttered a word, Shen Huai suddenly shouted: "Shut his mouth! Beat him!"

Shen Lingzhu was startled and was embraced by Hu.

The two drivers were stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled him aside and stuffed a ball of grass into his mouth.

"You..." As the other one started to speak, Shen Huai quickly pulled out another arrow and pointed it at his neck. He glanced at the brothers as if he was looking at a dead man: "Who else has something to say?"

Seeing the arrow piercing their necks and causing them to bleed, and hearing the crackling sounds of sticks behind them, the brothers didn't dare to speak.

Shen Lingzhu suddenly realized something. Could it be that his uncle had been to the battlefield?

Only when she heard her aunt say "yes" softly did she realize that she had asked the question out loud.

Shen Xianzhu then said, "When my father was a county magistrate in southern Jiangxi, he led a team to suppress bandits."

When the brothers on the opposite side heard the word "county magistrate", they immediately opened their mouths wide. The person they were going to blackmail was an official?

Oh my God, why didn’t the village head tell everyone when he was in charge of returning the land to the farmers?

Just as they were regretting their decision, their senior sister came over with some medicine and said, "Uncle, we don't have much Sanqi, so this is all we can share."

"Well, let the driver use it on the one being tortured." Shen Huai instructed his son to go.

Shen Lingzhu's mind brightened. Oh, my uncle is a sinister person. So this is how medicine is given.

A quarter of an hour later, the four brothers carried their younger brother, who had received medicine, onto the boat and quickly left.

Shen Lingzhu was full of admiration for his uncle and flattered him loudly.

After sending the driver away, Shen Huai said with a sullen smile: "Flattering is useless, tell me where did you get the crossbow?

Even though it's made of bamboo, it's still a dangerous item. If it's found entering or leaving the city gate, it could be a disaster."

As he spoke, his expression gradually became serious.

"..." Shen Lingzhu stepped back instantly, revealing her senior sister to answer.

The latter said simply and neatly: "I bought it in the capital."

"Okay, let's just consider it as a purchase for now. Then the positions you shot were just in front of several people. How long have you practiced?" Shen Huai stared at the two of them. After the two of them used arrows to save themselves in Daliudian, he was worried that they would be scared, so he never asked where the arrows came from.

Also, because there was no bow in his bag, he overlooked that arrows could also be shot with a crossbow.

Shen Miaozhu looked at him directly and said, "In just a few years, my father would find all kinds of things, play with them for a while, and then throw them away. Then Xiao Zhuzi and I would pick them up and play with them."

"Where are the poison arrows?" Shen Huai took out three black arrows from her backpack.

Shen Lingzhu stuck his head out from behind his senior sister, not wanting her to bear the firepower alone: ​​"It was my idea. The storybook says that self-defense is the first priority when traveling outside. The heroes in the storybook are easily hit by the enemy's poison darts.

Then we should also prepare some poison arrows and poison knives to make sure the villains are smitten first."

Seeing her uncle staring at the three poisonous arrows with his eyes downcast without saying a word, she couldn't help but look at her aunt for help.

Mrs. Hu waited for a moment and said, "Master, Xianzhu has already boiled the water, so let's prepare lunch.

Get to Shenquanji as soon as possible before sunset."

"Okay, go ahead." Shen Huai nodded without raising his head.

After Shen Lingzhu walked away, she looked back again, feeling a little uneasy. "Senior Sister, what does uncle mean?"

"She is slowly accepting the differences between her two nieces." Shen Miaozhu stopped her from looking and urged her to hurry up.

Meanwhile, Shen Huai was indeed saying to Mrs. Hu, "We've been in Beijing for three years, and without our mother to take charge of the family, I'm afraid my second brother and his wife have never paid attention to the daily lives of our two children.

Every time they wrote, they just said they were learning needlework at the clan school."

He threw away the arrow, raised his head and held Hu's hand: "During those years of mourning, Xiaozhu was still young, and Miaozhu was also ignorant.

Now that these two children are growing up, please take good care of them from now on."

Mrs. Hu nodded solemnly, "They are both good children."

……

After this incident, Shen Lingzhu and his friends only rested for half an hour after lunch before continuing their journey.

Although they couldn't go too fast because of a car obstruction, they still arrived not far from Shenquanji, which was only more than ten miles away from their home, before sunset.

But also because the car needs a good rest, we can't drive at night.

Moreover, after sitting in the car for a whole day, Mrs. Hu felt very uncomfortable and she insisted on getting off the car and walking around.

Shen Lingzhu said, "There should be some relatives at Shenquan Market where we can stay, right?"

Shen Xianzhu handed her some water and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, are you tired? Your grandpa's home is in Dahuangzhuang, not far from the market."
