Chapter 283: Working together to repel several refugees
The young man slept for two hours, then let the two girls sleep for a while while he was responsible for keeping watch at night.
As the sky brightened, the chill came out and dew appeared.
Shen Jiarou woke up and was stunned to see the sky full of morning glow. When would they be able to return to Da Yuan?
These days have been extremely miserable.
Looking at the morning glow, Ruan Qingling sighed silently. When could she bring the princess back to Yuan Dynasty? She didn't know where this place was, but the terrain looked quite flat.
The three men and the wolf caught some fish in the river, grilled them and ate them, then continued on their journey.
With Huzhan around, the three of them often ate meat. Occasionally, Shen Jiarou would go find some edible wild fruits to fill their stomachs and improve their "meals".
The three men and the wolf walked for about an hour and found a house that looked like someone lived there.
Ruan Qingling asked carefully: "Excuse me, is there anyone here?"
After asking for a long time without any response, the three turned around and prepared to leave, when a woman's voice rang out.
"What are you doing?"
Shen Jiarou and Ruan Qingling didn't understand what the other party said, but the boy successfully started a conversation with him.
In the end, they exchanged the wolf skin for some coarse cloth clothes and coarse grains. The long-missed coarse grains made Shen Jiarou and the others want to cry.
Ruan Qingling opened her mouth and bit it, and almost broke her teeth.
"Sister, is this really edible?" She felt like she was about to have a toothache.
Shen Jiarou sighed: "Eat a little bit at a time."
What else can we do in this situation?
They ate as they walked, and finally saw a camel caravan.
"Sister, look what that is?" Ruan Qingling pointed at the camel.
“Camels are used as a means of transportation and for carrying goods in the desert.”
Because she didn't understand the language here, she didn't dare to go up and disturb them.
In this way, the three people and the wolf followed the camel team for another hour. Seeing that the other party had stopped, Shen Jiarou also stopped moving forward.
A rough man came over from the camel caravan, talking incoherently, which made Shen Jiarou and Ruan Qingling look confused.
Shen Jiarou looked at the boy, thinking that he could understand something, but seeing that he looked embarrassed, Shen Jiarou lowered her head and sighed in disappointment.
This embarrassing situation lasted for a day and a night. Perhaps because the other party saw that they posed no threat, they took the initiative to feed them.
Shen Jiarou and the other two did not dare to eat the food in their hands and had to endure the hunger.
The leader of the other side looked at them, put his hand to his mouth, and motioned for them to eat.
They spent another half day peacefully, but unexpectedly they encountered bandits and robbed them, and Shen Jiarou's secret agent got into trouble.
Seeing that the other side was about to lose, Shen Jiarou picked up a slingshot and attacked. Without exception, the five bandits fled in panic.
There were ten people in the transport team. When they saw the little girl helping them, they bowed solemnly. Shen Jiarou thought, maybe they were saying thank you.
Half a day later, they encountered groups of refugees snatching food, and everyone was terrified.
The other side looked at dozens of people, and they were just three people and a wolf, and there were ten people in the camel team, a total of thirteen people and one wolf.
The starving refugees didn't care about the food and would just eat it when they saw it.
Seeing the refugees pouring in, everyone in the city was on alert and took defensive postures.
Ruan Qingling was afraid to speak out: "Sister, what should we do? There are so many people on the other side."
Shen Jiarou sighed deeply, her luck was simply too good.
"We'll just have to bite the bullet. Huzhan, don't move. Protect your sister."
If only she had a whip in her hand, a slingshot against dozens of refugees would be like hitting a rock with an egg.
The leader of the camel caravan was injured by a group of vagrants. Shen Jiarou flew up and kicked the man hard, kicking him several meters away and almost making him fall to the ground.
When he saw that he was kicked by the little girl, there was a light in his eyes, the kind of greedy light for food. Shen Jiarou was frightened by his eyes.
At this moment, she really wanted to curse. If she didn't deal with these people, she suspected that they would be eaten alive.
Thinking of herself being torn into pieces, she felt pain all over.
She exerted all her strength to give them a chance to catch their breath. The ten men were grateful to her for saving their lives and bravely stood in front of her.
Shen Jiarou took this opportunity to quickly check the camel herd and found ropes. Her eyes lit up and she quickly collected the ropes and tied knots in different places.
At this time, the refugees attacked again, and a man on this side let out a terrible scream. Shen Jiarou turned around and found that his arm was vertical. She was suddenly shocked.
The young man was fighting with others, but his two fists were no match for the attack of the crowd, and he was soon defeated. Seeing that he was going to be beaten to death, when he was about to accept his fate, screams rang out.
He raised his bruised face and looked forward. The girl was holding a whip-like weapon and looking at him with a murderous look on her face. To be more precise, she was looking at the refugees behind him.
The refugees rushed forward. The nine men here stood beside Shen Jiarou. Seeing the other party attacking again, they fought again.
Shen Jiarou's whip was very powerful and many refugees were seriously injured.
Looking at the young man on the ground, Shen Jiarou swung her slingshot at him, the meaning was self-evident.
The young man picked up the slingshot with difficulty and quickly searched for stones on the ground. The first slingshot missed the target, and then the second, the third... until he became more and more proficient. With his help, Shen Jiarou's side became more and more likely to win.
Seeing that they were hopeless, the refugees turned their attention to Ruan Qingling.
A dozen refugees rushed forward, and Ruan Qingling was terrified.
The beast was ready to fight and bit the refugees fiercely. Finally, three refugees died tragically under it. The refugees were completely scared.
Ruan Qingling had already collapsed on the ground with fear, looking extremely miserable.
Shen Jiarou stared at the young man and the nine men. The eleven of them fought with the refugees together and successfully drove them away.
Seeing that the young man and the other men were about to catch up, Shen Jiarou became anxious and used her lightness skills to jump in front of them to stop them.
Shen Jiarou yelled: "Stop chasing me."
These people don't know that it is not advisable to pursue a desperate enemy. They are just trying to save their lives.
Everyone was shocked by her aura. The leading man clasped his fists towards her and said something babble. Shen Jiarou still couldn't understand what he was saying, but she could probably get the idea.
Seeing everyone with injuries on their faces, arms, and legs, Shen Jiarou held her forehead with a headache.
I won and I'm still alive, but what should I do about the injuries?
"younger sister."
Shen Jiarou ran to Ruan Qingling: "Sister, are you okay?"
Ruan Qingling shook her head: "It's okay."
She had the protection of the battle guard, so she was just scared at most.
Shen Jiarou looked at the eleven men and said helplessly, "Sister, we have to find some herbs to treat them, otherwise they will get infected and die."
She didn't want to live this miserable and painful life even for a moment.
Ruan Qingling glanced at everyone and sighed helplessly.
"Then let's go look for it."
Will there be any herbs in this place?
She felt there weren't many plants.
Shen Jiarou said hello to everyone and took Ruan Qingling to look for herbs.
