Chapter 115: Capturing Refugees
When Shen Li heard what he said, she quickly searched each of the men in black that she had killed. However, this time the men in black seemed to be poorer. Only more than 10 taels of silver were found on about 40 people.
No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it is still meat, and Shen Li doesn't think it's too little.
Pei Yu reached out and pushed away An Yi who wanted to treat his wound, and walked to Shen Li's side.
"Miss Shen, thank you so much today."
Shen Li put the silver away and said, "No need to thank me, sir, why don't you give me something more substantial."
Pei Yu nodded, "It's my duty. I've been a burden to the girl today."
"That's good to know. Then give me more!"
Looking at Shen Li's sincere eyes, Pei Yu nodded, "I'll give it to you later, young lady. I have something else to ask you."
"Yeah, go ahead."
At this time, Chi Yan walked to Shen Li's side in horse stance, nudged her back with his head again, and urged her to go.
"The girl has been at home for a long time. Have you found anything unusual?"
Seeing something unusual, Shen Li raised her eyebrows, "For example?"
There are indeed some unusual things, but they are not related to each other and she was implicated by him today. Why did Shen Li tell him?
Pei Yu understood, this is it, "Please tell me, young lady, I..."
Suddenly, Shen Li saw thick black smoke rising above the woods in the distance. That was where they had set up camp.
His face suddenly darkened, he glared at Pei Yu fiercely, and jumped on the horse.
"Chiyan, hurry!"
It was the first time that Chi Yan felt his master so anxious, and he ran wildly in the bamboo forest.
Pei Yu also noticed her anxious look and used his Qigong to "Follow her!"
"Yes."
……
Over there, Shen Changshan and his group were cooking. Seeing that lunch was ready, but Shen Li had not come back yet, they couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
However, they have all known Shen Li's abilities during this period of time. If she hasn't returned yet, she must have been delayed by something. They don't know where to find her, so they can only stay in the camp and wait for her to come back.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hooves, and judging from the sound, there were quite a few horses.
Shen Changshan stood up and said, "Boss, go and take a look. Everyone else, be careful."
Shen Jingyuan trotted towards the source of the sound. Several other families had already picked up weapons and protected the elderly, children and women in the middle.
Not long after, Shen Jingyuan ran back, and a cloud of dust was seen far behind him, and a figure could be vaguely seen behind him.
"Dad, those people are arresting refugees, and they have already arrested quite a few."
"what!"
"Then what do we do?"
"Should we hide in the woods?"
When the families heard this, they all panicked. Why were these people arresting these refugees?
What are they going to do?
"Quiet, Boss, how many of them are there?"
"There were about 40 people in total, 10 of them were on horseback, and all of them were carrying swords."
After hearing this, Shen Changshan's brows knitted into the shape of a "川" character, "Everyone, take your belongings and hide in the woods first."
Some refugees who had heard the news had already hidden themselves. There were few of them, and they didn't have much belongings. They hid in the woods, so those people wouldn't search them carefully.
But Shen Changshan's team was different. They had cows, mules, horses, and a lot of belongings. How could they hide? Where could they hide?
Even if people hide away their belongings and livestock, they cannot escape. If they lose these things, how will they go forward?
They quickly moved their belongings back and didn't know what to do next.
"Changshan, what should we do?"
"Yes, Brother Changshan, you say it, and we all listen."
Shen Changshan was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on his back, but he didn't show it. Otherwise, the team would only become more panicked.
"We can't hide, so we have to fight. Everyone grab weapons, and the elderly and children should hide in the trees."
"Row."
Shen Erhe was the first to pick up a weapon, and others followed suit.
The Liu Mings they met along the way were always in groups of three or four, but now, there are dozens of them here. Will those people let them go?
Li Qiaolan did not retreat. She also held a long knife in her hand and wanted to protect her daughter and son.
After Lu Jing hid his sister, he went downstairs to find an axe. Sister Ali and her family had helped them a lot, so he couldn't hide.
Shen Qian'an frantically collected dead branches and leaves in the woods behind, found a relatively open place, and set them on fire.
I hope my younger sister can see this and come back as soon as possible, otherwise they will suffer heavy losses this time.
"Sir, there is a group of refugees ahead, and they have lit signal fire."
Hearing this, the elder raised his eyelids and took a look. "They are just refugees, they are not worth anything. Take your men to catch them, and act quickly."
"Yes."
The man next to him rode a big horse, picked up nine soldiers behind him, and then trotted towards the place where the smoke was coming from.
When he saw so many able-bodied men and food, he became visibly more excited.
Shen Changshan and his men were obviously relieved as they watched the group of people getting closer and closer. They could defeat these 10 people, so it would be better to deal with them first.
So a group of people squatted on the ground, trembling with fear, expressing their fear to the extreme.
"Haha, go tie up these people and take them away."
The nine people behind him came towards Shen Changshan and the others with hemp ropes in their hands.
Shen Changshan and his men did not make any move, still squatting on the ground with their heads in their hands. When those men approached and tried to tie them up, the twenty or so men squatting on the ground pulled out long knives hidden in the fallen leaves and quickly killed them.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man on the horse turned his horse around and wanted to go back to report the news, but Shen Jingyuan, who was hiding in a tree, shot him off the horse with an arrow.
The man dodged in time but was still shot in the left chest. He fell to the ground, covering his chest, looking at Shen Changshan and his group with an extremely angry expression.
"You ignorant refugees, how dare you hurt me? Wait, you will see what happens to you later."
This man was injured, but he was still uttering harsh words, so Shen Changshan killed him with one single blow of his sword.
"you……"
He stared unwillingly and fell straight to the ground.
At this time, the man on horseback also came here. Hearing no sound in the woods, he keenly realized that something was wrong. He only left a few people to guard the refugees, and then led the rest of his men into the woods.
Before entering the woods, they could faintly smell a scent of blood. The leader frowned unhappily. These refugees were useful, and it would be a waste of food and medicine to feed them if they were injured.
Really, you can't even do the smallest things!
The sun was shining brightly outside. As they entered the woods, they suddenly felt their vision dim, and heard a few "whoosh" sounds coming towards them.
Jiang Chao kicked the stirrup and jumped up to avoid an arrow, but the person behind him was not so lucky and was pierced through the chest by the arrow.
"what!"
There were several screams in succession from the woods.
The group had already adapted to the dim light in the woods. The leader drew a sword and said, "Go ahead, only the young men and women will be left."
"Yes."
