Chapter 181 Arrival at Suzhou City
The group arrived at the end of the village, and only saw the empty courtyards when they were almost at the foot of the mountain.
The courtyard looked better than most of the houses in the village and seemed fairly new. At the moment, the gate was closed.
Erma opened a courtyard door for them to see, and then asked, "How many courtyards do you want?"
Shen Changshan asked a few people around him. His family and the Lin family had large families, so they must have their own courtyard. As for the other families, Shen Zhenyuan and his family shared a courtyard with Shen Erhe's family, while the Xu family and Doctor Liu's family shared a courtyard.
After hearing this, Erma opened the three courtyards next door, collected the fees for accommodation and firewood, and then took them to see where the water was.
"Little brother, can we go into the mountains and hunt for some prey?"
Ermadu took a look at their physiques and thought, well, they really looked like they were good at martial arts.
"Okay, but once you go in, anything that happens has nothing to do with our village."
"Row."
After showing them the water source, the boy left.
Xu Taohua has gotten down to walk around. As the months go by and she spends more time in the carriage each day, her feet have become swollen, so she will try to walk as long as possible when she can.
Shen Li looked at the mountain behind. Although it was already autumn, the mountain was still lush and green.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to the mountains to take a look."
"Be careful."
When Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui raised their heads, Shen Li had already run far away, so they could only shout out their instructions.
On the other side, the moved Lin Feng and Shen Jingyuan also took a few people into the mountain, but it was almost dark now, so they didn't plan to go deep and just wander around the periphery.
Shen Li has wood-related abilities, and she felt very comfortable as soon as she entered the woods. It was as if all the pores in her body were open and breathing.
There has not been much progress in my psychic abilities and wood abilities during this period. Level three and level four are a watershed. After I have settled down, I will find a way to improve them.
The vegetation in this forest is not as lush as in spring and summer, but there are still many animals.
Shen Li was jumping around in the woods, and occasionally jumping onto the treetops. If the uninformed villagers saw this, they would think they had seen a flying wild man!
Without hanging around outside the mountain, with her speed, she quickly entered the forest where few people visited.
Soon we found today's prey in the woods, a silly roe deer.
Now that the weather is cold, the meat doesn’t spoil so quickly, so you can take the roe deer home and eat it for many more days.
Shen Li threw a stone, and the roe deer drinking water by the stream fell to the ground in a moment. Shen Li walked over and lifted the roe deer's hind legs.
When he turned around, he saw the small fish swimming in the stream. He hadn't eaten fish for a long time, so he took out a few grass carp from the space, pierced their gills with vines, and carried them back to eat.
They hurried all the way and soon arrived at several small peaks outside, where they met Shen Jingyuan and others who were walking back.
"Little sister!"
Shen Jingyuan came over and took the roe deer and grass carp from Shen Li's hands. Their group was not completely without gain, as they all got some prey.
"Brother, let's go back. The robe has not been bled out yet."
"Well, let's go."
At the foot of the mountain was the courtyard where they lived. They soon reached the foot of the mountain. Shen Jingyuan walked straight into the courtyard of his rented house, and went straight into the kitchen to bleed the roe deer.
At this moment, the sky was almost dark and a light rain started to fall outside. When the cold wind blew the raindrops on my face, I could feel a little chill.
After the roe deer were processed, they gave some to the Lin and Xu families, and kept the rest for themselves.
Since they had a place to stay tonight, Lin Cuicui and Bai Yao prepared a sumptuous meal, and Shen Changshan also helped.
To him, there is no truth that men don't cook. When they were still in Shanli Village and had not separated from the old Shen family, he often helped Lin Cuicui with housework, so it can be said that there is no sense of incongruity when he does it now.
Shen Li's three older brothers were also influenced by him. They know how to cook and would help in the kitchen from time to time.
It was this point that made Grandma Shen even more disgusted with Lin Cuicui and her children.
Lin Cuicui made a pot of soup with the roe deer bones, intending to save it for making noodles the next morning.
There was a plate of fried roe deer meat, a plate of braised roe deer, a pot of fish soup, and the roe deer meat roasted by Shen Li and the others.
There were only meat dishes, and the whole family ate to their heart's content, and in the end they were all full.
Shen Changshan, Shen Jingyuan and others had already fetched water back. After dinner, everyone washed up and went to bed.
The next morning, Lin Cuicui got up early to roll noodles. The noodles were made of refined white flour and had a strong wheat aroma. She put a spoonful of roe deer meat on the noodles, sprinkled with chopped green onions picked from the yard, and finally poured with a spoonful of soup base from last night. The aroma was fragrant.
When I got up in the morning, it was wet outside, but it wasn't raining.
When we set out, the outside was still shrouded in fog, but the visibility was quite good and did not affect our journey.
The young man from last night was outside the yard early in the morning, and he brought a few women with him. He let them go only after checking that there was no damage to the yard.
The fog in the sky was gradually dispersed by the sun's rays. After traveling for four days, the group stopped at a dilapidated temple outside the city at night.
They are now very close to Suzhou City, but they can't get there now. The city gate is about to close and they can't get in. The group can only stay here for a while and enter the city tomorrow.
As they were about to reach Suzhou City, the atmosphere in the team was very lively, and even Shen Changshan had an obvious smile on his face.
Although they rested in the City God Temple at night, it did not affect the high spirits of the crowd at all.
Early the next morning, they set out in their carriage at daybreak. When they arrived at the city gate, it was already wide open and there were soldiers guarding the gate.
The city gate of Suzhou City is slightly lower than that of Yangzhou City, but in comparison, visually, the city gate of Suzhou City looks much smaller.
"Finally we're here!"
Shen Changshan's sigh was also the voice of everyone in the team. Yes, they had been through so many things along the way, and now they had finally arrived.
They lined up in horse-drawn carriages to enter the city, and soon it was their turn. Shen Changshan took out his household registration. The soldier carefully checked it and then roughly checked the things in the carriage before letting them pass.
When checking the household registration, the soldier looked at everyone for a long time and was very surprised. It was rare to see someone who could make it through intact.
Thinking of this, the expression on his face eased a little, "Are you refugees who came to Suzhou for resettlement?"
"Yes, please give me some pointers."
As Shen Changshan spoke, he held a purse in his hand, "This is for the young men to drink tea to quench their thirst."
