"It's good that you're scared now. Watch your mouth from now on. Otherwise, you won't know how you died." Shen Tang took back the "Motherly Sword" with a cold face. The threatened villager covered his broken neck and nodded with tears in his eyes. It seemed that he was frightened by her murderous intent.
Qi Shan looked at the backs of the villagers who were almost fleeing and said with a smile, "Shan thought that Young Master Shen would kill them with one sword."
Their ungrateful remarks are really infuriating.
Killing soldiers was also for the purpose of saving people. Not to mention being grateful, but being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs with good intentions, and being blamed without any reason. Which person with a sense of justice can tolerate this injustice
He would not be surprised at all if Shen Tang suddenly attacked and killed someone.
Shen Tang almost rolled his eyes.
"You think I'll kill them?"
Qi Shan: "Don't you feel wronged or angry, Mr. Shen?"
"Do I feel wronged and angry and I can slaughter people wantonly? What's the difference between me and Zheng Qiao and his ilk?" Shen Tang asked coldly, and then added in a chilly tone, "They are just a few ignorant villagers who are talking nonsense. Just scare them. If scaring them doesn't work, then beat them up. If a beating doesn't work and they still have the guts to provoke and insult me, I will pull out their tongues!"
It's better to abandon it if it has a mouth but can't speak human language.
Shen Tang is not dough.
How can I not get angry when someone points at my nose and scolds me
Chu Yao smiled as he calmed his slightly disordered breathing and joked.
"It's good that Wu Lang has a bit of temper, but pulling out the tongue is a bit bloody. There are many word spirits that can silence speech and take away voice..."
A scholar of letters should be elegant and refined, a gentleman uses his mouth rather than his fists, and a brave warrior who always resorts to violence is a bloody behavior.
Shen Tang smiled again, dispelling the chill, as if the murderous intent she had just shown was an illusion: "Silencing is good. Once I have an argument with someone, I can't beat him or scold him, but I can silence him, which makes me almost invincible."
Qi Shan couldn't help laughing: "You are playing tricks."
Shen Tang gave him a look that said "you don't understand".
Silencing and mute people is the privilege of the power-hungry ones.
"Thank you for saving me. I can't repay you. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you." At this time, the rescued young couple came forward to express their gratitude. The man was obviously educated and spoke in a very elegant manner. Shen Tang waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to be so polite.
"I have something to ask you."
The man was flattered and said hurriedly: "My benefactor, please tell me everything we know..."
Shen Tang asked: "How far is this place from Xiaocheng?"
Among the four of them, Chu Yao should be the one who is most familiar with Xiaocheng. However, during the five years Chu Yao stayed in Xiaocheng, he spent most of his time working as a handyman in the kitchen of Yuehua Tower. He occasionally went out for short trips and almost never stayed overnight outside the city. He did not know much about some mountain roads.
Because the official road was controlled by the rebels, the group had no choice but to take a detour. As they took a detour, their direction became a little off, so they had to ask the local natives for help. When the man heard what she said, he said anxiously, "Your Excellency, I can't do that. Then Xiaocheng..."
Shen Tang knew what he was going to say.
He said bluntly: "My family is all in Xiaocheng, I can't abandon them."
The man glanced at his wife and said, "I know a shorter route. The villagers usually take that route to go to the city to attend the market. I'll take our benefactors there." He then told his wife to follow the villagers to escape first. After he sent Shen Tang and his group off, he would come back to meet her.
If you flee alone, you have a chance of death.
Follow the villagers and they will take care of you along the way.
Naturally, his wife disagreed with him taking the risk.
It's not that I don't agree with my husband's act of repaying his gratitude, but I don't agree with the couple going their separate ways. In this day and age, the chances of reuniting once they separate are too slim. It would be better to let her go with him. The couple should be together in life and death, which is more important than anything else.
Shen Tang: “…”
Although the couple's unwavering love in the face of adversity is quite touching, she didn't say that someone must lead the way, just point out the approximate direction. I interrupted the couple's interaction with a sense of embarrassment and re-stated my needs, and both of them were embarrassed.
The villagers have lived on this land for generations, and every item added to their homes carries a precious memory.
Once they leave their hometown, everyone wants to take everything with them. Some people grit their teeth and take their only valuable belongings and dry food, while others are reluctant to leave anything behind and pack everything up, either carrying or dragging...
When they came out and didn't see the four strange strong men, the villagers panicked and asked the young couple: "Where are our benefactors?"
The man said, "Let's go."
Villager: "Leaving? Why don't you take us with you?"
Many villagers thought that Shen Tang and his friends would follow them, or take them with them to escape, after all, this world is safer when there are more people around.
The other villagers didn't curse him out loud, but they also blamed Shen Tang in their hearts. They didn't want to leave their hometown...
Listening to the villagers' gossip, the young couple looked unhappy. However, they couldn't control what others said. They were all from the same village and knew that offending anyone would easily lead to the whole village's attack. They could only swallow their anger with a sullen face.
Shen Tang didn't know that his group's departure would lead to complaints.
Following the man's instructions, they set foot on the trail, and along the way they had to be careful to avoid the rebels who came into the mountain to search. The muddy mountain road was very difficult to walk on, and riding was simply a luxury, so the four of them had to walk.
"Hiss—this is really weird—"
He also avoided searching for rebels along the way.
Shen Tang couldn't help but suspect that the man who showed him the way was trying to trick him.
Chu Yao said: "They should be going into the mountains to search for someone."
Shen Tang wondered: "At this time? Who are you searching for?"
Chu Yao did not answer.
Shen Tangfu suddenly thought of someone.
"Could it be the governor of Sibao County?"
After saying this, without waiting for Qi Shan and the others to respond, she continued, "This is not right. Since the governor of Sibao County is the one who surrendered voluntarily, why is he hiding from the rebels' search?"
Shouldn't we run towards the arms of the new thigh with joy
Qi Shan's eyes darkened: "I hope it's that guy!"
Shen Tang said: "Yes, I understand, I understand."
After all, they are old enemies.
When enemies meet, they are particularly jealous of each other.
One of the reasons why Qishan came to Xiaocheng was to take care of this old enemy. If they were lucky enough to run into him, Qishan would get his revenge.
As he was speaking, Gong Shuwu noticed something with his sharp eyes.
He picked up a scrap of cloth from the tangled grass.
The scrap of cloth was bright in color and only slightly stained with dew, and it looked like it had been accidentally left behind by its owner not long ago.
He squatted down and parted the grass to feel around, and sure enough, he found a sunken footprint not far away. He then used his fingers to measure the size, and it was a male one.
Shen Tang also came over after hearing the news.
There were more than one person's footprints in the grass.
She rubbed her forehead and complained, "Is this the legendary Murphy's Law, or the aura of a time traveler?"
"What is Murphy's Law? The time traveler's halo?"
"If something could go wrong, the more you worry about it, the greater the chance that it will happen. That's it - something bad is happening."
As for the Transmigrator's Halo
Shen Tang smiled and said, "As for the time traveler's halo, half a step, do you see the shiny halo on my head?"
