Chapter 151 Danger in the Bamboo Forest
Although Shen Qian'an was joking, he actually answered his doubts seriously. After all, this was a good opportunity to teach his third brother to read. He had avoided it every time before, so it was rare for him to take the initiative this time.
But the more he read the book, the more he felt something was not right. Why did it seem a bit like a martial arts technique?
He looked up at his interested third brother, and then at his quiet younger sister. Everyone in the family knew that his younger sister was practicing martial arts.
I suddenly realized why my third brother was so interested, it turned out that this book was special.
He said, Third Brother is really...
Shen Li went straight to call her eldest brother and several cousins over. After all, it didn't matter whether she was herding one sheep or a flock of sheep.
Allowing them to exchange ideas with each other is a win-win situation.
Seven people gathered together, and the first thing they had to do was to memorize the method, and then practice it slowly until the day they got it right.
Several cousins could also read, but they could not recognize all the words in the book. However, with the help of Shen Jingyuan and Shen Qian'an, they managed to recognize all of them with some difficulty.
After taking note, noon passed and everyone started on their journey again.
When the carriage started moving, the dozen or so refugees had not gone far. They were resting not far from them at noon. The team just started moving and they followed behind.
However, the speed of humans and animals is incomparable, and they were not full, so they could not catch up and soon left them behind.
After Shen Yuanzhou got the secret book, he stopped riding the horse and sat in the carriage. Then, Shen Li rode Chi Yan again and galloped to the front.
There was no meat at night, so she went hunting. Chi Yan was very fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in a short while, and this was exactly the effect she wanted.
After running forward for a distance, Shen Li ran into the fork in the road next to him, leaving the refugees on both sides. Not long after entering, he was surrounded by big trees.
He dismounted and used his mental power to explore. There were no prey nearby. There were only a few small birds and some bird eggs on the trees. Even the wild fruits on the trees had been picked.
But it doesn’t matter, she has it in her space. Shen Li went behind the big tree. Although there was no one here, she still had to be careful.
Two pheasants and a hare appeared in his hands. He picked up a vine and tied up the pheasants and hare, walked back to Chi Yan, and hung the pheasants and hare up.
He also placed a dozen pheasant eggs in the small basket on Chi Yan's body. To prevent the eggs from breaking, he stuffed a lot of grass into it.
He mounted his horse and walked slowly toward the official road. They should not have arrived yet.
Shen Li waited under a tree beside the official road for another quarter of an hour before the team appeared in front of her.
Shen Li caught up on horseback, and the prey hanging on her horse was naturally seen by everyone.
When he got close to the carriage, he handed the pheasant and rabbit in his hand to Lin Cuicui. She took them and put them aside. They would easily die if hung like that, but leaving them this way would give her an extra meal.
Seeing that Shen Li had a good harvest, An Liu also went into the woods to hunt. After a while, he came back with a dozen bird eggs.
He looked at Shen Li with some curiosity. Where did this Miss Shen find her prey? Could it be that she had caught all the prey in this woods?
Yes, that must be the case, otherwise with my abilities, I wouldn’t have found only some bird eggs.
And there’s nothing we can do if the master doesn’t want to eat it. Hey, I’ll bake it later and he’ll be the only one to eat it!
When it was getting dark, the team stopped to rest in a bamboo forest. The weather was hot and the leaves at the bottom of the bamboo forest were a little yellow, but the leaves on top were still emerald green.
This bamboo forest is very large. As soon as we stopped, we went to look for prey in the bamboo forest before it got dark to see if we could find some bamboo rats or bamboo partridges.
Shen Li had already found prey at noon, so she didn't join them at this time.
The three brothers also went to the woods, and even Shen Xiaoya and Lu Nian held hands and went into the bamboo forest.
Seeing this, Shen Li warned them, "Little Duck, An Nian, be careful of insects and snakes."
Perhaps it was because women were naturally afraid of these creatures, the two little girls hesitated. They whispered a few words to each other, and finally looked at the sky. They unanimously decided to go in, but only in the vicinity and did not intend to go deeper.
Seeing this, Shen Li didn't say anything else. Everything was under everyone's watch, so nothing unexpected should happen.
Facts have proved that it is better not to draw conclusions too early, as you may be easily slapped in the face.
After a while, Lu Nian shouted, and then the two little girls shut their mouths instantly, their bodies standing there as if they were frozen.
Shen Li took a look and saw that the view inside the bamboo forest was becoming increasingly darker. However, judging from the frightened expressions on their faces, there should be something in front of them that could not be seen clearly without using mental power.
While walking over there, she released her mental power and saw a bamboo pit viper coiled on top of a bamboo one meter away from the two little girls, hissing at them.
The two little girls obviously knew that the snake was poisonous. They kept looking for help from the people around them. When they saw Shen Li coming towards them, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Pei Yu obviously also heard the cry, and was closer to the two of them. He did not stand idly by, but walked over there with a bamboo leaf in his hand.
At this moment, the bamboo green snake pounced on them like two little girls. Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly dodged to the left and right.
The bamboo leaf green snake changed direction in the air and twisted its body towards Lu Nian.
"what!"
Shen Li hurriedly picked up a piece of gravel on the ground and moved it over there, but she was still a step too slow.
Pei Yu had already thrown the bamboo leaf in his hand one step ahead, directly splitting the Green Bamboo Leaf Snake in half. After the snake fell to the ground, its body was still twisting in half after being broken into two.
After Lu Nian screamed, he was tripped by the bamboo roots exposed on the ground. Without caring about being afraid, he hurriedly used his hands and feet to crawl forward.
After realizing that he was not bitten, he turned around and saw the Green Pit Viper broken into two pieces on the ground.
Her cry attracted everyone in the bamboo forest. Shen Li approached them and took a closer look and found nothing serious.
Shen Xiaoya pulled Lu Nian up from the ground, "It's okay, it's okay."
Lu Nian wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve and nodded vigorously.
"Thank you, Sister Ali!"
"No need, it was Master Wei who saved you, let's go back."
"Okay, Sister Ali."
The two of them walked in front. Shen Li picked up the green bamboo shoots with two bamboo sticks and planned to ask Grandpa Liu if he wanted them.
When Lu Nian and Shen Xiaoya saw Pei Yu, they were a little afraid of his cold face, but when they thought about how he had killed the snake, they still plucked up the courage to thank him.
Lu Nian immediately bowed in Pei Yu's direction and said, "Thank you, Master Wei."
Pei Yu shook his head, nodded slightly to Shen Li, then turned and left.
Shen Li picked up the snake and looked at it. The cut was very neat. If he hadn't seen with his own eyes that it was bamboo leaves that were put out, he would have thought it was cut with a knife.
