Chapter 39 The Invisible Crack
She didn't want to give Wang Cuilan a chance to speak at all, and immediately started rambling on and on.
"Wang Cuilan, we outsiders have no right to interfere in your family's affairs, but if you want to torture someone to death, this is a matter of life and death, so don't blame my Li family for getting involved!"
"If your eldest son really can't carry that much stuff, then let your eldest son's family carry it themselves. If you don't want to carry it, then throw it away and don't drag others into this!"
"If you keep causing the line to stop because of this nonsense, don't blame us for leaving your cars at the very back of the line!"
Zhou Dani gave her daughters-in-law a meaningful look.
The three daughters-in-law immediately pulled Wang Cuilan and Tian Xiuxiu up from the ground and pushed them in front of their respective cars.
"Get moving, or we'll rob and smash your vehicles! There are plenty of people behind us who need livestock, carts, and food; they'll be happy to help lighten your load!"
Upon hearing this, Su Dashan became anxious and immediately pulled his mother, who still wanted to cause trouble, forward.
Hurry up and get on the road.
The lead convoy completely ignored the farce behind them.
They've long since left these people far behind, completely out of sight.
Old Mrs. Su was terrified that her belongings would be divided up by others. She was furious but helpless, so she dared not delay any longer and hurried on her way.
"It must be that daughter of the second son who just came back who's bringing me bad luck!"
"Everything I do has gone wrong ever since she came home!"
Old Mrs. Su had only said it casually, but suddenly she felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
"She must be cursed! Otherwise, why has there never been a moment of peace at home since she came back?"
The second son, in particular, has become violent and ruthless, as if he's turned into a completely different person.
Furthermore, those bandits were also brought about by that jinx!
If she hadn't encouraged her second son's family to flee the famine in that place, those bandits wouldn't have received the news and come to rob them!
If we don't flee the famine, the Wang family won't hold a grudge against us!
Yes, it's all that jinx's fault!
The more Old Lady Su cursed, the louder she became; she was deliberately cursing so that the villagers could hear.
If Su Yunhai's family convoy hadn't already driven far away and we hadn't heard this nonsense, we wouldn't have heard it.
Otherwise, Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua would have already confronted Old Lady Su.
Many of the villagers following behind Old Lady Su listened to her.
Unbeknownst to many, an invisible crack appeared in the team.
.
Qingyun City.
Shen Shuli led Su Pingan and Su Ding'an into the city smoothly.
"Su Ding'an, you and Su Ping'an go to the south gate and check the situation."
"I'll go to the vicinity of the county government office to inquire about any unusual activities by the officers and soldiers. We'll meet here in an hour."
Su Ding'an didn't want to follow her orders, and frowned as he politely declined, saying, "Little sister, our parents told us to protect you, so let's not separate and act together."
Su Ping'an was a person who was used to obeying others. He almost agreed to his little sister's arrangement, but then he remembered his mission to go down the mountain. He immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, little brother is right. We can't go our separate ways."
Shen Shuli didn't want to travel with these two, after all, she had her own things to do.
"I've killed more people in the last few days than you two have killed chickens. Do you think I'm someone who needs your protection?"
Su Ding'an and Su Ping'an looked embarrassed and ashamed.
They knew they couldn't compare to her in this matter.
Su Ping'an is very tall, nearly two meters.
He was almost as tall as Shen Shuli twice. He bent over, supporting his knees with both hands, so that his face was the same height as Shen Shuli's.
He looked at Shen Shuli with bright eyes and said in a deep voice, "Can you teach me kung fu? Especially your hidden weapons, they're much more powerful than my bow and arrows. Can I have one too?"
He noticed that his father and mother each had one, and he had been eyeing them for a long time, but he had a bad memory and would forget about them if he was distracted.
Now that I remembered, I quickly asked him.
Shen Shuli knew that many people were curious about the hidden weapons she and Su Yunhai possessed, but no one had ever asked them about them.
After all, such a powerful weapon must be incredibly expensive, something that ordinary people can only dream of.
She glanced at Su Ping'an, who had a tall, muscular, rough face but a pair of adorable, foolish deer eyes.
He looks like a clear-headed, foolish middle school student.
Aside from her parents, she wouldn't have much contact with people other than those she had absolutely trust in before.
Not to mention giving them access to these otherworldly weapons.
"I only have three, I don't have any extras."
After Shen Shuli finished speaking, she paused slightly. Not wanting to be too definitive, she added, "When the opportunity arises in the future, I'll find a way to get you a set."
Su Ping'an completely missed Shen Shuli's refusal. His eyes curved into beautiful crescent shapes as he exclaimed happily, "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you, little sister!"
Since returning home, Shen Shuli has never heard her adopted brothers call her "sister."
Unexpectedly, Su Pingan was the first.
Even if it's just for the good stuff she has.
Shen Shuli raised an eyebrow slightly, changing the subject, "Then will you be obedient?"
"Listen to me! I'll listen to my sister!" Su Ping'an quickly declared.
"Then you should take your brother and hurry to the South Gate."
"Okay, little sister."
Watching Su Ding'an being dragged away unwillingly, Shen Shuli was in a rather good mood.
She immediately asked passersby for directions to the county government office.
A quarter of an hour later.
Shen Shuli was drinking tea at a tea stall outside the county government office.
They observed for half an hour.
She noticed something was amiss.
Many officers and soldiers arrested numerous civilians and brought them to the county government office.
It's obvious where these people will be locked up.
Just half an hour.
These officers and soldiers arrested at least a hundred people.
"Uncle, why have these soldiers arrested so many people? What did they do wrong?"
Shen Shuli pretended to be an innocent young girl and asked the tea stall owner.
The old man at the tea stall took a liking to her at first sight when he saw that she was a soft, fair-skinned little girl.
Answer whatever you are asked.
Seeing that the little girl's teacup was empty, he refilled it for her free of charge and then sat down in the empty seat next to her.
"Young lady, you haven't been to the city recently, have you?"
“Recently, many rural people have fled the city. In just a few days, tens of thousands of people have escaped. Our county magistrate will not allow this to happen, so he has sent these soldiers to arrest people in the city.”
"By the way, where are your parents? Why are you all alone here? Don't even think about leaving the city lately, or you'll get arrested and thrown into that dark, gloomy prison. You're sure to suffer a lot."
The old man at the tea stall was worried that the girl and her family might also be arrested, so he kindly tried to persuade them.
Shen Shuli's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
It seems the situation inside the city is not optimistic either.
I wonder what happened to those people from Peach Blossom Village who went to the city yesterday. Have they been arrested?
