Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her

"Something bad happened! Oh no, they are sounding the alarm." Shen Lingzhu heard the whistle from her senior sister and decisively gave up digging for herbs.

When she grabbed the machete and tried to run, her uncle grabbed her by the collar and said, "Little kid, why are you trying so hard? I'll help you climb a tree."

"Uncle, there are snakes in the trees. It's more dangerous than going with you to provide support. Do you want to abandon a child like me into the mountains?" Shen Lingzhu bent down, turned around, and asked him.

Huang Zongqi thought for a moment and said, "You walk behind me."

As she said this, she threw down the small basket and pheasant on her back, then exchanged the long stick in her hand for her machete and ran towards the source of the whistle at a very fast speed.

The hilltop was only a hundred acres in total, and the two sides were not very far apart. When Shen Lingzhu and his uncle rushed over, they found a swarm of bees chasing them.

Uncle Jiu kept blowing on his bamboo whistle and waving branches to try to drive away the swarm of bees. But the sister with a cloth covering her face tried to stop him: "Stop blowing! Throw down the branches and find a big hole to hide in."

Unfortunately, Uncle Jiu was so focused on running that he didn't listen to his senior sister.

As soon as Shen Lingzhu shouted, she was scolded by her senior sister: "Get down, don't make any noise and don't come near us."

When you encounter a swarm of bees, it is best not to fight back with anything. Waving large branches like Uncle Jiu will make you more likely to be besieged.

"Uncle, are there any traps set by hunters nearby?" Shen Lingzhu quickly covered his face with a cloth and asked his uncle.

Unexpectedly, Huang Zongqi was chopping a large branch and looked like he was going to help.

She quickly stopped him: "No, uncle, quickly show them a way to go down the mountain and hide, otherwise you will be attacked if you go up." In the past, when she was attacked by a swarm of bees on the mountain in Huilongguan, her senior sister would take her down the mountain to find shelter.

Huang Zongqi did not stop. He could not just stand by and watch. He said, "Run diagonally to the left. There is a small pond around the mountain."

"Not much water is okay, a mountain hut would be best."

"Yes, yes, yes. Your father learned fishing from others and built a small wooden house."

"Second sister, there is a house next to the pond at the foot of the mountain on the left." Shen Lingzhu made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted. Before she finished speaking, more than a dozen bees buzzed over.

Huang Zongqi subconsciously swept them away with the branches he had just cut, instantly attracting hundreds of bees.

"Uncle won't fight anymore, run." Shen Lingzhu grabbed the corner of his clothes and ran down the mountain. At this moment, he didn't care about alerting the enemy and used his mountain knife to clear the way.

Huang Zongqi had been stung several times. He saw that more and more bees were flying towards him and the big bamboo was moving diagonally to the left. He simply dropped the branch, picked up the small bamboo, put it on his shoulder, and ran down the mountain.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Shen Lingzhu's head suddenly fell down, and her stomach was pressed again. She wanted to stop in pain.

But seeing the swarm of bees chasing her, she could only shut her mouth and try to cover her head and face. Unfortunately, she was still hit on the forehead by one of the bees.

She endured the stinging pain of the needle, and finally heard the sound of water while her uncle was walking around.

Then the uncle and nephew were both submerged in the water. Shen Lingzhu struggled for a long time before she found herself in a shallow stream. She stood up straight and floated up a few times, with just half of her head exposed.

The bees by the stream noticed her coming to the surface and were about to attack her when her uncle pressed her to the bottom of the stream with one palm, instantly filling her mouth with mud and sand.

When Huang Zongqi pulled her to swim downstream, she kept shaking her head and paddling her hands and feet to scratch the place where she had just bitten the mud.

Shen Lingzhu found that her uncle didn't understand her at all, so she stepped on the bottom of the stream and surfaced, "Uncle, there is jade under the water."

As soon as she finished speaking, the buzzing sound came again. Fortunately, when she retreated underwater again, her uncle was already groping underneath.

In less than a moment, he actually took out a piece of red jade, but the words engraved on it were not clear at the moment.

Shen Lingzhu was holding the jade and was dragged a long way by her uncle before she dared to emerge from the water.

"Phew, luckily they didn't chase us. I wonder if Second Sister and Uncle Nine managed to escape."

"They are upstream. Let's go and check them out later. We also need to retrieve the lost knife and crossbow." Huang Zongqi was lying by the water, exhausted.

"Ouch, my face." He just stretched out his hand to rub it, but Shen Lingzhu grabbed his hand and said, "There are thorns, pull them out before you touch it.

Look, I have it on my forehead too, I dare not move. "

"Hahaha, little Zhuzi is about to become the little Dragon King. The two big lumps on the left and right corners of her forehead are quite symmetrical." Huang Zongqi sat up, held her face and took a closer look. Fortunately, she was only stung on the forehead.

Shen Lingzhu was a little helpless when facing the bumps on her uncle's face and neck. If her senior sister was here, she would always be able to find a way to remove them.

"I think we should go home first and drive over to pick them up. We should also bring torches or something, just in case there are still swarms of bees surrounding them after they hide in the cabin."

"Don't you want the crossbow anymore?"

"No one should be passing by at this time."

"Okay, at worst I can just buy some more." Huang Zongqi was also worried that the swarm of bees might not have left when he returned.

The two people floating downstream did not know that Shen Xiao fainted not long after Shen Miaozhu hid in the wooden house.

Just as she was about to brave the swarm of bees to go outside and collect some herbs, she heard the sound of horse hooves, followed by the whizzing sound of sharp arrows.

But after a moment, she smelled the burnt smoke from the beehive burning outside the cabin.

He also heard the sound of horse hooves approaching outside: "Boss, the swarm of bees has fled."

"Well, let's see what the people inside are like." There was no need to provoke a swarm of bees, which only delayed his journey. Chen Ru stroked his beard with one finger with some impatience. It was really hot in June and he was irritated inside and out.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Miaozhu opened the door and said to Zhuang Baibu, whom she knew best, "Thank you all for helping me out. I wonder if Captain Zhuang has any needles with him."

When she went up the mountain today, she specially left a set of the most expensive silver needles at home. It seems that it would be better for her to carry them with her in the future.

"Um..." Zhuang Baibu dismounted. He knew that the Shen brothers and sisters would see through his true identity at the ferry last time, so he said directly: "First, thank our captain. We are all following orders."

"Thank you, Qianhu." Shen Miaozhu readily followed suit and stepped forward to clasp his fists.

Chen Ru raised his eyebrows. It wasn't a Wanfu ceremony. The two girls from the Shen family were really different from the wives of ordinary civil servants. "Find her a needle."

His personal guards sometimes had to do their own sewing, and some of them actually brought needles and thread.

Shen Miaozhu quickly picked out the thorns for Uncle Jiu and even borrowed their horses to carry people.

Zhuang Baibu, who was walking in front, looked back from time to time. Perhaps the boss liked young girls, so he asked tentatively, "Boss, you have some patience with this Miss Shen.

Isn't it just because the bellows her family sent are so useful?"

"The food she cooks is delicious." Chen Ru nodded in agreement.

Such a powerful reason! Zhuang Baibu was instantly speechless until one of his guards shouted, "Boss, here is a crossbow and a knife."

"Be alert!" Zhuang Baibu gave the order, and the guards immediately drew their bows and arrows.

Shen Miaozhu took sight of the crossbow and after a moment's hesitation said, "The crossbow is used by my family for hunting, and the knife is just an ordinary machete."

"Did you make it yourself?" Chen Ru took the bamboo crossbow and looked at it.

Shen Miaozhu was about to say that he bought it, but he had already tried an arrow and said, "Tell the truth!

This crossbow is quite powerful. I will find the craftsman who made it as you requested." It's similar in function to the bamboo crossbows used by the indigenous people in the far south.
