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

They walked along the river for more than ten minutes. There were dry riverbeds and aquatic plants on both sides. Sometimes when they stepped on the aquatic plants, they made a crackling sound.

Some people also dig silt on the riverbed, and when they dig out some moist silt, they will continue digging down.

If you work hard, you will get something in return. Several people dug up river clams, which are edible.

At that moment, everyone on the riverbed became excited and started digging with whatever they could find.

Li Qiaolan looked around and saw that there was nothing on either side. She suggested, "Why don't we go dig too?"

Lin Cuicui and the other two did not refute. Shen Li did not want to dig in the mud, so she pointed ahead and said, "I'll go a little further and come back soon."

"Okay, be careful, Ali."

"Uh-huh."

Although Lin Cuicui already knew that Shen Li was not weak, she would always give Shen Li some advice every time she went out alone, and Shen Li herself quite benefited from it.

Shen Li walked along the river for another quarter of an hour. There were fewer people here and the trees were more lush. At least the leaves were still green and had not been plucked.

The riverbed has not changed, it is still dry and cracked, with many pits dug everywhere.

After walking a little further, I saw a few half-grown children digging something in front of me.

"Brother, it's a river clam!"

The girl's voice was excited, and she quickly hid the clams in her hand into her clothes, not caring that there was still mud on them.

Her voice was already very low, but it was still heard.

Three half-grown boys walked towards the brother and sister. One of them pointed at them and said, "Lu Jing, you two, hand over the clams."

"Yes, Lu Jing, quickly ask your sister to hand over the river clam, otherwise we will not show mercy later."

When the little girl behind Lu Jing heard these words, her originally sallow face became even paler, and she tugged at her brother's sleeve anxiously.

Lu Jing looked at them with a sinister and cold look in his eyes, “Heh, if you want it, go dig it yourself!”

Upon seeing this, the three teenagers clenched their fists in anger and surrounded the brother and sister.

Lu Jing gently pushed the girl behind him away, "Nannan, please move away, brother is fine."

With tears in her big eyes, Lu Nian turned around and ran into the woods. She couldn't stay here and hold her brother back.

When Shen Li heard Lu Jing's name, he stopped and looked over there. The young man with his back to him still kept his thin back straight even in the current environment.

Soon, the four of them started fighting each other. The young man was extremely ruthless, attacking the most vulnerable parts of the people with his hands and feet.

That seemingly desperate fighting style soon frightened the three teenagers who were stronger than him.

Shen Li could see clearly that although he had beaten back the three young men, he was also injured, and his originally handsome face was swollen.

The three half-grown boys were frightened by his beating. They stood up from the ground and pointed at Lu Jing: "Just wait, you'll have something to worry about when you get back."

Lu Jing got up from the ground, patted the dirt on his clothes, sneered, and looked at the three people with sarcastic eyes:

"So you three haven't been weaned yet!"

The three young men obviously understood the meaning of his words, and their faces suddenly turned red.

"You haven't been weaned yet!"

After saying these harsh words, the three teenagers hurriedly walked around him and left.

Lu Nian ran to his brother and asked, "Brother, where are you hurt?"

"Nannan, brother is fine."

The tears in the little girl's eyes fell silently, "Brother lied, the corner of his mouth is bleeding."

……

Lu Jing seems to be a character in the book. The brother and sister in front of him are most likely the children of the richest man in Northern Qi.

The richest man lost his mother when he was young and was away from home all year round. In order to take better care of them, he married a second wife.

As a result, the stepmother had two children in three years, so the two children born to the original wife became thorns in her eyes.

While the richest man was away from home, the brother and sister were sold to human traffickers by their vicious stepmother, and were taken all the way south from the prosperous Jiangnan to Yizhou.

Fortunately, the brother and sister were smart and took advantage of the chaos in Yizhou to escape. They mixed in with the refugee group and wanted to walk back to Jiangnan.

Originally, the brother and sister planned to go to Wuyuan City, because there was a money house owned by the Lu family in Wuyuan City, and he wanted to contact his father.

But they couldn't get into Wuyuan City later, and Lu Jing was afraid that his stepmother would know about their presence here, so he didn't plan to contact anyone else and just walked back to Jiangnan with his sister.

Unexpectedly, his sister still failed to escape the famine, and he himself was on the verge of death several times, and was finally rescued by the heroine Shen Jiaojiao. Since then, Shen Jiaojiao has gained an admirer and a money bag.

Shen Li looked at the thin brother and sister in front of her. No, such people cannot be left to Shen Jiaojiao. If they gain power one day, they will definitely try their best to suppress their family.

Shen Li planned to go to Suzhou, which was very close to Jiangnan. If she sent them back, she could get a generous reward. Not only would she snatch the heroine's opportunity, but she would also get money. It was the best of both worlds!

The corners of her mouth rose slightly. Then, this time, let her, Shen Li, save the children of the richest man.

Looking at the limping Lu Jing, what reason could I have to get close to these two siblings?

Shen Li was just thinking about it, but the next second, the little girl suddenly fell to the ground without any warning.

Lu Jing hurriedly hugged his sister in his arms, and when he noticed her unusual body temperature, his heart sank suddenly.

"Nanny, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't scare my brother!"

What should he do? His sister has a high fever and they have no water, no food, and no medicine. What should he do?

The little person in his arms had his eyes tightly closed, and his sallow face was flushed with an unusual blush.

Shen Li frowned. Is this girl's disaster about to come?

Tears quickly filled Lu Jing's eyes. He stood up holding his sister. Only then did he notice Shen Li standing not far away.

The girl was wearing cotton clothes, had a fair complexion and a rosy face, and it was obvious that she was someone who had no shortage of food and drink.

Lu Jing held his sister in his arms and knelt in front of Shen Li, "Please, girl, save my sister!"

Although a man's knees are made of gold and he will not kneel down easily, he doesn't know what to do if he loses his sister.

Lu Jing looked at the indifference in her eyes. He wondered if she would lend a helping hand to save her sister.

But he had no other choice now, he had no medicine and no food.

Looking at the half-grown boy in front of her, Shen Li sighed and handed over her water bag, "Your sister's lips are dry and cracked, give her some water first."

Shen Li squatted down and touched the little girl's forehead with the back of her hand. Her brows furrowed slightly. She had a high fever, no wonder she couldn't make it.
