Get the golden finger at the beginning: Enjoy the journey of escaping from the famine

Their family has prepared almost everything they need, including a lot of mugwort and mint, all of which have been dried and put away.

The food was stored in the cellar, and they had already made too much jerky for two wild boars, which was too eye-catching.

Fortunately, their family lives at the foot of the mountain, which makes it very convenient for them to do anything. If they still lived in the old house, they would be restricted in doing anything.

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and only the occasional barking of dogs could be heard in Sanli Village.

As soon as Shen Li came out of the space, she found a man in black standing on the roof of the east wing of her house.

Shen Li sat up. Who is this person?

Shen Li walked barefoot to the door quietly, and at this moment, a faint candlelight lit up in the west wing.

The man walked down from the roof in just two or three steps and entered the west wing, Wei Zian's house.

Shen Li touched her chin. The man's light figure must be the result of some lightness skill.

Someday, I will get myself a book on Qinggong to learn!

This way you can experience the feeling of flying over eaves and walking on walls!

When the man entered Wei Zian's room, Shen Li had already withdrawn her mental power and did not follow him in.

At this moment, she was listening carefully. Occasionally, two whispers were heard from the west wing. It seemed that it was someone Wei Zian knew.

Yes, it has been more than 20 days since she last delivered a letter. If Wei Zian’s people don’t come again, she will be anxious.

Shen Li walked back to bed and continued to sleep, but she didn't fall asleep. She was always paying attention to the movements outside.

"Master, please forgive me for being late."

Pei Yu looked at his subordinates in front of him, his eyes were murky and unclear, "Tianqing, can you find out who betrayed the master?"

Tianqing kept his eyelashes vertical and did not dare to look at Pei Yu who was sitting on the bed.

"Master, on the day you got into trouble, all the secret guards around you were transferred away by Yunfu. When I finished my work and rushed back, you had disappeared."

"Yunfu?"

Yunfu is one of the four secret guards around him. He is good at hiding and is usually on missions.

Is it such a coincidence?

When he transferred the other three people to investigate the matter, Yunfu took action against him?

Could it be that they had spread the rumor in order to transfer the secret guards around him so that they could attack him?

"Have you found out why Yunfu betrayed his master?"

The secret guards around him were carefully selected. They were orphans since childhood. There was competition among the secret guards in the camp. The one with the bigger fist had the final say. Every step to climb up was very difficult.

Therefore, those who can come to me have gone through rounds of tests.

Yunfu became one of the four secret guards beside him. Needless to say, the hard work he put in was tremendous. So, what could have made such a person betray his master?

As a secret guard, Yunfu knew very well the consequences of betraying his master, but he still betrayed him.

"I am incompetent. Yunfu doesn't show any flaws on weekdays. But in the past two months, I have been with him and found that he is often distracted."

"The matter of Yunfu needs to be investigated as soon as possible." Pei Yu tapped his fingers on the bed. "He has taken the medicine for the seventh month. Tell people to keep an eye on those families and see if anyone has contact with people who will go to Bixiao Valley."

"Yes."

"Did you bring the things I asked you to bring?"

Tianqing took out a sachet from his arms and handed it to Pei Yu respectfully.

"Go down."

"Subordinates retire."

Pei Yu opened his purse and found a small peace locket with the word "Yu" engraved on it. There were also three silver notes worth 500 taels in the purse.

Pei Yu put away his purse, blew out the oil lamp and went to bed.

Shen Li had been paying attention to the movements over there. After the man in black left and the lights in Wei Zian's room were turned off, Shen Li closed her eyes and went to sleep.

These few days, Shen Li has been waiting for Wei Zian to give her money so that she can leave quickly.

As a result, this person was calm and composed all day long and never mentioned leaving.

Look, he is sitting in the yard now, drinking tea leisurely. If you don’t know, you would think this is his home!

Shen Li looked up at the sun in the sky. It was such a bright sun and she was still drinking hot tea. She really didn't know what to say.

Now, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. It is only the beginning of May, but the temperature is estimated to be 30 degrees, and it has lasted for more than half a month.

You know, in previous years, the temperature would not stabilize until late May.

Looking at the blue sky with few clouds, Shen Li was worried!

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is no air conditioning or refrigerator!

Well, ice. It seems that saltpeter can be used to make ice. As for the exact amount, you have to try it to know.

However, you cannot consume too much saltpeter ice. You can buy it to cool down, but it is not very efficient!

And where could she find so much saltpeter?

But this recipe is not completely useless. If you can't use it yourself, then when you find the right person, you can sell it to him!

If you earn some money, you can have ice.

Shen Li thought wildly for a while, then walked over to Wei Zian and sat down.

"Has Master Wei recovered from his injury?"

Pei Yu had a faint smile on his face, making him look even more distant.

"Thanks to Miss Shen, the injury has healed."

Shen Li simply went straight to the point. When talking to these young and old men, you have to be direct, otherwise you have to beat around the bush.

Especially someone like Wei Zian who is very cunning, he can lead you in many twists and turns.

"When will Master Wei leave?"

Pei Yu's smile deepened. It turned out that Miss Shen had been thinking about this problem these days.

"I was scheduled to leave tomorrow."

Pei Yu took out a purse and said, "Miss Shen, this is your reward. There is also a token inside. If Miss Shen encounters any difficulties one day, you can take the token to Yingyue Tower for help."

Shen Li opened her purse right in front of him and took out the silver bills inside.

"Master Wei gave too much."

"It doesn't matter. If it weren't for Miss Shen's life-saving grace, I might have gone to hell."

Shen Li carefully identified it for a while and found that the banknote was real. It was from Wanfeng Money House.

Shen Li received 500 taels of silver for nothing, and she accepted it without feeling embarrassed at all.

I took out the token he mentioned and examined it. It was a peace locket made of fine jade. Apart from the words engraved on it, there was nothing special about it.

Shen Li stuffed the banknotes and the peace locket back into her purse, with a smile on her face, and said to Pei Yu: "When will Master Wei leave tomorrow? Do you need me to take you to town?"

"In that case, thank you very much, Miss Shen."

Shen Li originally just wanted to be polite.

Forget it, since he gave me an extra 500 taels of silver, just give it to me!

Send this plague god away quickly!

If he left today, she could send him away right now!

Shen Li felt a little hot in the sun, so she went to her parents' room and gave them a silver note worth 500 taels.

Shen Changshan pushed the banknote back and said, "Ali, Dad and Mom still have some money, you can keep this."

Lin Cuicui also nodded, "This is too much money. Ah Li keeps it, and we will feel at ease."

Shen Li took the banknote back and said, "Okay, I'll keep it for now. If Mom and Dad need it, just tell me."

Shen Changshan and Lin Cuicui nodded at the same time, but in their hearts they both wanted to leave the silver to Shen Li as a dowry.

Back in the room, Shen Li picked up a palm-leaf fan to fan herself. Perhaps it was because of her wood-type ability, she couldn't say she liked it, nor did she hate it, but she really didn't like the sticky feeling when sweating.

Especially in the last days when there is a shortage of water and food, sometimes people have to drink water in small sips, let alone use it to wipe their bodies or take a bath.

The next morning, Shen Li came back from training and harnessed the mule cart, then looked at Wei Zian who was wearing a blue robe.

"Master Wei, let's go."

After Pei Yu thanked everyone in the Shen family, he left on a mule cart.

He had felt Miss Shen's anxiety more than once, as if he were some kind of monster.

Shen Li parked the mule cart at the entrance of the town, "Master Wei, we're here."

Having already arrived here and knowing how anxious the girl was, Pei Yu got off the screw cart directly.

"Miss Shen, goodbye." Pei Yu said and turned to walk towards the town.

The man was dressed in blue, and his tall figure quickly disappeared in the town.

Shen Li withdrew her gaze. She didn't take Wei Zian's words "goodbye" to heart.

If she hadn't saved someone by accident this time, given his condition, he might not even look at her again when he saw her.

Shen Li still has this self-awareness.

So no matter how handsome Wei Zian was or how good his figure was, Shen Li never had any false thoughts about him from beginning to end.

At most, I just admired her a few times with the eyes of appreciating beauty.
