Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 13: Young Man in Chinese Clothes

Regardless of what Shen Shaodong felt, Shen Li, who had also traveled through time, said goodbye to the young man in brocade clothes and started busying herself in the mountains again.

She was digging with full concentration, without any complicated thoughts. She just thought that if she dug more, she would get more points, which she could exchange for silver, and if she dug more, she could eat meat.

She completely forgot that there was meat to eat in the delicatessen in the system mall.

When Shen Li caught a pheasant and picked up a nest of eggs, she really couldn't resist the temptation.

I was looking forward to going home quickly to have my stepmother cook for me. Roasted chicken, fried chicken, stewed chicken, Bobo chicken, fried chicken, just thinking about it made my mouth water.

It can be said that if the conditions in the mountains allowed, this chicken would probably be eaten before it could be taken home.

After all this trouble, Shen Li casually glanced at the points and found that he had already reached 432 points.

I was rewarded with dozens of points for applying medicine to the young man. Seeing this score now is quite surprising.

Shen Li passed by the pond she had discovered that day. The closer she got to the pond, the more noticeable the wisps of moist water vapor became.

She scooped up a handful of water and washed her face. She felt refreshed and comfortable.

Then he scooped up another handful of water, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but take a sip.

Shen Li sighed inwardly: Wow! It really is unpolluted mountain spring water, sweet and delicious!

She hurriedly filled the bamboo tube with water, intending to take it back for her stepmother to taste.

Unconsciously, Shen Li had regarded the Shen family here as her closest family.

"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..." Shen Li hummed an unknown little tune. The tune was like the wind blowing casually in the mountains, free and unrestrained.

She packed up the bamboo basket neatly and was about to go down the mountain.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound coming from the grass not far away, as if something was stirring restlessly inside.

Shen Li's heart suddenly tightened. She grabbed the sickle like a frightened little animal and then quickly took two steps back.

But before she could react, a sword was suddenly placed on her neck.

Shen Li looked down at the sword blade that was flashing with cold light, and his heart skipped a beat. Without saying a word, he threw away the sickle and raised his two little claws as if in surrender.

Her body trembled like a leaf in the wind, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "I... I don't have any money, my mother asked me to collect grass for the pigs..."

At this time, Shen Li raised her head tremblingly, and what she saw was shocking. She saw that more than a dozen people in black clothes had surrounded her without her knowing.

Her small eyes moved cautiously, and she quietly raised her eyes to glance at the young man in gorgeous clothes who was surrounded in the middle. After just one glance, she quickly looked away as if she was burned.

Shen Li's heart was like a pot of porridge boiling, gurgling and churning: "This is exactly the same as what is played in the TV series!"

These people must be chasing the young man in the cave, and they must be trying to divide up the property.

Maybe it's some kind of family feud, with legitimate and illegitimate sons fighting for power and profit.

In just the blink of an eye, a hundred thoughts about the feuds between wealthy families in ancient times flashed through Shen Li's little head like a revolving lantern.

At this moment, the young man in gorgeous clothes said in a gentle voice: "Little sister, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. Raise your head and I will ask you a few questions."

Shen Li pretended to be timid and slowly raised her head, with tears of fear in her eyes and a hint of crying in her voice: "What do you want to ask? I... I just caught a pheasant in the mountains. My father is sick... I... My family has no money..."

As she spoke, the tears in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow, and they swirled around in her eye sockets.

Luo Lingyun gave a slight signal to his men, and immediately a man in black beside him quickly took out a purse and stuffed it into Shen Li's hand without saying a word.

Shen Li seemed to be frightened by this sudden action. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the purse blankly, her eyes full of surprise. She looked as if she had never seen so much silver before, pretending to be ignorant of the world.

Of course, she had never seen so much silver before, and she didn't even know how many taels a piece of silver weighed.

Luo Lingyun smiled gently, with a hint of coaxing in her smile: "Little sister, as long as you answer a few questions of mine, this bag of silver will be yours, and you can treat your father's illness."

Shen Li blinked her big eyes with distinct black and white, and her eyes were as clear and innocent as a spring: "Big brother, ask whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know!"

A man in black behind Luo Lingzhi slowly took out a neatly folded painting from his arms, and then carefully opened it. A vivid portrait of a young man on horseback appeared in front of Shen Li.

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, looking at the painting in confusion, feeling puzzled.

Isn’t the boy in the painting the boy in front of me?

How could she know that the boy in the painting was actually Luo Lingchen, the boy in the cave whom she had rescued.

The boy in the cave had a messy face like a harlequin cat when she treated him. She was just doing it for money, and it was not her concern.

Luo Lingyun raised his hand and pointed at the painting, staring intently at Shen Li and asked, "Did you see it? Have you seen this person?"

Shen Li nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I saw it!"

Luo Lingyun's face suddenly showed a look of surprise: "Tell me quickly! Where did you see it?"

Shen Li raised her eyes, still with that innocent look: "Big brother, isn't that you in this painting? I just saw you."

Shen Li saw the face of the young man opposite him twisted, as if a big rock was suddenly thrown into a calm lake, causing ugly ripples.

Immediately afterwards, the man in black behind him picked up Shen Li and brought her in front of the boy like a chicken.

The young man's face was terribly gloomy. He pinched Shen Li's chin fiercely, his eyes as fierce as an ice knife in the cold winter: "You don't want to drink the toast, so you have to drink the penalty, right?"

Shen Li was pinched so hard that it hurt. Tears welled up in her eyes. She shook her head desperately and said incoherently: "Um... Um, it's really annoying..."

She was panicking. "I'm not going to die again, is that right? These people look like they're ready to kill without blinking an eye!"

Shen Li thought to herself, "They are so many and powerful. A wise man should not suffer a loss in front of him. I'll just be a coward... As long as I can stay alive, that's all."

Her tears flowed onto the boy's hands. Luo Lingyun pushed her away with disgust, then took out a handkerchief from his arms, wiped her tears vigorously, and threw it away after wiping.

Who knew that he would see the little girl's eyes suddenly light up, and she looked at him as if she had found some treasure, with a hint of surprise in her voice: "Big brother, don't you want such a nice handkerchief?"

Luo Lingyun was speechless, secretly complaining in his heart: Is this little girl mentally retarded? Really! Can't she see that we are the bad guys!

The man in black next to him also had a frown on his face: ...We are the bad guys!

Luo Lingyun said angrily: "It's so dirty! Don't cry!"

Then he watched the little girl with great joy. She quickly ran over, picked up the handkerchief, and put it in her arms, saying happily, "The material of this handkerchief looks very good."

When Luo Lingyun saw the situation in front of him, it was as if a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind. In an instant, his face turned red. The red was like the most gorgeous sunset in the sky, spreading from his cheeks to his ears.

His chest heaved violently, and he asked again in a frustrated tone, "Have you really never seen it?"

Shen Li nodded gently, her eyes clear and innocent, and she said softly, "I've never seen you before."

"Look at me. I've grown up so big, but I've never even left this village. I don't even know what the outside of the village looks like, so how could I have seen you?"

When she said this, there was still a hint of ignorance and innocence in her eyes, like a deer lost in the forest.

As she spoke, she slowly lowered her head again, looking pitiful, like a little pet abandoned by its owner.

Then, she carefully took out the handkerchief from her bosom, stroked the edge of the handkerchief with her fingers, and said with a hint of reluctance in her voice, "Wait a moment, I'll go to the pond and wash it carefully."

"The water in this pond is so clear, it dries quickly after washing..."

"The material of this handkerchief is so slippery. It's such a shame to throw it away like this!"

When Luo Lingyun saw her take out the handkerchief again, his eyes widened as if he had seen something terrible. He waved his hands in panic and shouted, "No need!"

Then, he turned his head sharply and shouted angrily at the men in black, "Hurry up and leave! If you can't find him, you'll be in big trouble!"

His eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty and a hint of anxiety. When the men in black heard his roar, they trembled slightly and did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

They quickly disappeared from Shen Li's sight, and Shen Li breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but think: These people don't look like bad people, and that boy looks like a little fox with its fur standing on end, so cute.

Shen Li couldn't help but think: "If that painting isn't him, could it be him? That bloody face appears in my mind, who can understand it? Never mind, let's go home!"

Shen Li shook the purse in her hand: I made a bag of silver for free, hehe, and threw it into the space. Anyway, she didn’t know how much silver it was, so she would talk about it later!
