Shen Shuli first scouted the rear route and set traps along the way.

Now that the group has scattered, she can no longer keep scouting the rear to see if any enemies are catching up.

They deliberately set a trap on the only route.

A signal flare will be triggered whenever someone passes by.

She could see the signal within a 20-mile radius and react in time.

Return to camp.

This place is no longer safe, so I'm thinking of finding another place to rest.

Although Shen Shuli didn't want to think too badly of the villagers who left, she had to be cautious.

If some villagers harbor resentment and transfer their hatred onto them, like the Wang family before them, they will be in a disadvantageous situation.

It's better to move as soon as possible.

Upon seeing Shen Shuli return, her eldest aunt Wang Fanghong and second aunt Chen Zhaodi came looking for her.

They had all seen what their newly returned niece had done for them these past few days.

“Ah Li, if anything happens in the future, call your cousins. Our family isn’t short of people, you don’t need to silently bear everything for everyone.”

Besides her two sons, Wang Fanghong also has a younger daughter who is two years younger than Shen Shuli.

She is eleven years old and her name is Shen Zishi.

She nudged her daughter forward and said softly, "Shishi, this is your cousin. She's a very nice person. You'll get to know her better if you spend more time together."

"From now on, you must listen to your sister. Do whatever she tells you to do. Even if she doesn't assign you anything, you still need to be proactive and do what you can. Do you understand?"

Shen Zishi is the only girl in this generation of the Shen family, and she is very spoiled by the family.

I've never let her do any work.

Chen Zhaodi also pushed her child forward, saying with a smile, "Ali, your cousin Ziyi only got a scrape, it won't affect his work."

"He's a man, after all. If there's something he can't do, just ask him to do it. Don't be polite with him."

Shen Shuli saw that both of her aunts genuinely wanted her child to help, without any pretense of politeness.

She was indeed short-staffed, so she didn't stand on ceremony.

"Alright, Auntie, Auntie, then I won't stand on ceremony. We really are short-handed right now."

Wang Fanghong and Chen Zhaodi were delighted to see that their niece was willing to accept the offer, so they left the child behind and went away.

Shen Ziyi had always harbored feelings for this cousin, who was a legendary figure who had single-handedly killed four wild boars.

This morning, he was the first to rush towards the barbarians; he was not only curious but also deeply admired them.

"Cousin, what are we going to do later?"

Shen Ziyi was unaware that the look in his eyes when he looked at Shen Shuli was full of admiration.

It was as if the soldiers were looking at their idolized general, waiting for the general to assign them tasks.

Shen Zishi was very spoiled at home; in the past, everyone's attention was focused on her.

She was used to it by now, but now, the most talked-about topic in her family is this newly returned cousin.

She was curious, but also somewhat unconvinced.

She is the family's darling, and she is also very capable.

She didn't want to hear her parents and grandparents constantly praising other children, especially girls.

She felt that her cousin was there to compete with her for affection.

At this moment, she pouted and glanced at Shen Shuli, all her thoughts focused on her face.

Shen Shuli looked at her cousin and cousin-in-law in front of her with a faint smile on her face.

“It’s not safe here anymore. I want to find a secluded place nearby to move,” Shen Shuli said. “There are so many wounded in the camp. I don’t feel comfortable leaving without someone guarding the area.”

Shen Ziyi hesitated.

He wanted to go out with his cousin, but there was no one to guard the house, and he didn't know what to do.

Shen Zishi immediately became unhappy upon hearing this.

"I'm not going out. This mountain path is so difficult to walk on, I don't want to ruin my new clothes and shoes." After saying that, she turned her head and faced the two of them with her backside.

Shen Ziyi never expected that her usually well-behaved and sensible younger sister would throw a tantrum and refuse to cooperate.

He usually dotes on his younger sister, but it was really inappropriate for her to say such things at this time. However, he couldn't bear to scold her, so he felt a little awkward.

Shen Shuli wasn't angry. She could tell that the girl was spoiled; you could tell from her hands and skin that she had never done any work.

The original plot also mentioned this.

This cousin is another beloved female supporting character in the Shen family, serving as a control group to annoy the original owner of the fake heiress.

But she won't indulge her, nor will she waste time competing with her for favor; ignoring her is the best counterattack she can get.

"Cousin, let me make some arrangements. Why don't you come out with me?" Shen Shuli said.

“Okay.” Shen Ziyi immediately nodded in agreement.

At this time.

Li Qinghe walked over, somewhat embarrassed to meet Shen Shuli's gaze.

But she still mustered up her courage and asked, "Ah Li, where are you going?"

When Shen Shuli saw that it was Li Qinghe, her expression softened slightly, and she replied, "We're planning to take a walk around the neighborhood. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Can I...can I come with you?" Li Qinghe's cheeks were already flushed.

She knew her father had been a coward who hadn't helped when everyone needed it most, but she couldn't blame him for his choice.

Fear of death is human nature.

She had been trying to find an opportunity to apologize to Uncle Su, but hadn't been able to.

Only now did I muster the courage to approach Shen Shuli.

"Sure, as long as you're not afraid of getting tired." Shen Shuli didn't refuse this innocent girl.

Li Qinghe's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at Shen Shuli with delight, asking, "Really?"

"Okay, wait for me a moment, I'll be right there."

Shen Shuli was worried about leaving just like that, and she needed to make some arrangements at the camp.

"Oh, okay, may I call someone else? Dr. Zhang's grandson wants to find some herbs in the nearby mountains to treat everyone's injuries," Li Qinghe asked cautiously.

"Of course, that's great!" Shen Shuli nodded and left.

Shen Shuli found Shen Yuehua.

Shen Yuehua was still busy preparing food for the next two days.

The dry food I prepared a few days ago is almost gone, so I'll make some more now that I have some time.

"Mom, I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood. I'm worried about you. Here are a signal flare and a bomb. Do you know how to use them? If not, I'll teach you."

Shen Shuli took out a bunch of things from her spatial storage and carefully placed them on the grass.

Shen Yuehua's eyes lit up immediately upon seeing this.

"This thing is great! Don't worry, Mom will use it. With this, if we encounter barbarians again, we'll use this to blow them up!" Shen Yuehua's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

If it weren't for those barbarians, so many people wouldn't have been injured!

"Mom, also arrange some things for your sons and daughters-in-law, so they don't overwork themselves."

"Those who have arms and legs can always gather some firewood and cut some wild grass to feed the livestock."

"Also, we can teach them how to use signal flares so they can keep watch nearby and get timely notifications if anything happens."

Su Chang'an and Su Ding'an were the type to act only when instructed, like squeezing toothpaste.

Unless someone asks them to, the two of them act as if they have no eyes and will never volunteer to help with chores.

Their wives are also lazy whenever they can, all because their mother spoils them.

Shen Yuehua was an impatient person; if she had the time to order her son around, she would have finished doing it herself long ago.

In any case, there's absolutely no hope for my son and daughter-in-law.
