Shengjing Noble

Chapter 190 Turning danger into good fortune

This scene made Su Lanyin feel heartbroken.

It turns out that when it comes to this point, the mother feels that it is better for her child to die than to live.

How hopeless must they be about the world to be like this?

Su Lanyin took a deep breath, raised her head to hold back her tears, and then quietly stuffed a nutritional pill to replenish the child's energy.

Although the child cannot fill his stomach, at least he will not lose his life due to hunger.

I can always hold on until the moment my uncle comes.

Thinking of this, Su Lanyin stood up and returned to Niu Dafu.

Because of her actions just now, she successfully attracted the attention of others.

One person asked in surprise: "Daifu, weren't you hacked to death? How come you are still alive?"

The others then remembered and looked at these "brothers and sisters" with disbelief in their eyes.

"Yeah, how did you survive? Are you okay?"

"Da Fu, who is this person next to you? Why don't we seem to have seen him before?"

……

They all traveled here together, so they knew each other, and it was not surprising that some of them could call each other by their names.

Niu Dafu leaned against the tree weakly, and said with his dying breath: "I... I'm afraid I can't hold out for too long with this injury... Brothers and aunts, please... if I'm gone, please help me take good care of my sister."

"Your sister? Why haven't we met before?"

Su Lanyin didn't want them to look pale and thin, so even though she had changed her appearance, she still looked exceptionally pretty. Even her patched coarse linen clothes couldn't hide her gentle and elegant temperament.

Niu Dafu explained: "My sister was separated from our family. She met a kind person on the road and took her in. She came back to look for her relatives and just happened to see me. She even bandaged my wound."

When everyone heard this, no one doubted it. After all, they had heard him talk about the girl getting lost on the road.

"It's good that you and your sister can be reunited. This world is not peaceful, and being alive is a blessing."

"Yes, it seems that you two are really blessed people. You were able to turn misfortune into fortune and survive the disaster."

"I hope we can be like them, brother and sister. Sigh... I don't know when these hard days will end."

……

A group of people sighed and lowered their heads. Su Lanyin took the opportunity to look around and inadvertently met a malicious gaze.

The man was staring at her sinisterly, as if he didn't expect her to look at him suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then looked away guiltily.

Because of this, Su Lanyin suddenly had a goal.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and then she deliberately raised her voice and said, "There might be some wild fruits and pheasants in this woods. Why don't we go look for them? If we can find them, won't it be enough to fill our stomachs?"

"There are no fruits in this season... As for pheasants and rabbits, we are so tired and hungry that we don't have the energy to catch them." An old man said helplessly.

Su Lanyin immediately stood up and assured, "Even if there are no fruits, there will be wild vegetables. Besides, I have been digging rabbit nests in the mountains with my elder brother since I was a child. Even if I can't catch them, I can find their nests."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and the woman who almost suffocated the child to death stood up.

"Instead of sitting here and starving to death, why not go with her to find something to eat? I'll go with her, so who else will go?"

"Then I'll go too!"

"I'll look for it too!"

"Right! We can't just sit there and wait to die, we have to find food for ourselves!"

……

A group of refugees stood up with their weak bodies and joined the team looking for food.

Su Lanyin looked back at Niu Dafu, then nodded at him and led her men into the depths of the forest.

……

Half an hour later, she led people to dig up many edible mushrooms and wild vegetables, found a rabbit's nest, and took advantage of the absence of people to kill two pheasants with stones.

The refugees were so happy to return home with a full load that they couldn't stop smiling. They no longer looked depressed due to hunger. They were all in high spirits and discussed about going back to have a big meal.

Su Lanyin handed the fire starter to the woman and said, "Use it to light the fire later. I'll go get you some water."

"Are you alone? It's dark now, girl, don't get into any danger." The woman's eyes were full of worry.

"Don't worry I'm fine."

"Then I'll accompany you..."

"No, your child is still waiting for you, you must take good care of him."

"Uh... ok."

Su Lanyin smiled knowingly, then turned around and walked alone into the depths of the woods.

Seeing this, everyone ignored her and impatiently carried the food back.

……

Coming to the deserted riverside, Su Lanyin squatted down, looked at the turbid river water, and poked it with leaves again and again.

The sky fell into darkness, and a ray of moonlight shone through the treetops onto the water.

At this moment, a dark shadow approached quietly, and the weeds on the ground made a sound of being trampled.

Su Lanyin fiddled with the water carefully, listening calmly to the footsteps getting closer behind her.

Until... she felt a dull pain in her neck, and then she fell to the ground with her eyes closed.

In the moonlight, the man's face showed an evil smile, as eerie and terrifying as a demon.

"This stuff can be sold for a lot of silver hehe... It's worth it that I followed it all the way, and finally found a good stuff!"

After talking to himself, he carried Su Lanyin on his shoulders and walked out of the woods.

……

In the darkness, Su Lanyin squinted her eyes and looked outside. The man had already carried her to the official road. There was a carriage not far away.

"Why not a child?"

A short and fat man next to the carriage asked.

They were originally targeting the children among the refugees. After all, the pretty women had already been kidnapped by the bandits on the road.

The man carrying Su Lanyin was tall and thin. He smiled and pointed his finger, saying, "I'm lucky this time. I found a good item. I can sell it for at least this much!"

The short winter melon's eyes lit up: "Is this true? Big brother, you are really capable!"

"What are you still standing there for? Get her into the car. This woman is quite heavy!"

The two men stuffed Su Lanyin into the carriage while muttering to each other.

"Let's go, get into town right now and don't wait for this bitch to wake up and start yelling."

"Ok!"

The two of them immediately got on the carriage and drove towards Shengjing City.

In the car, Su Lanyin sat up and rubbed her neck. It didn't hurt much, but it was uncomfortable.

I guess the man thought she was a weak woman who couldn't even lift a finger, so he didn't use too much force.

I pulled aside the curtain and looked outside, and saw a checkpoint set up by the officials not far ahead.

When the refugees wanted to pass during the day, they were not allowed to pass. Now at this hour, the city of Shengjing is locked, so it is even more impossible to let them pass.

However, when the short and fat guy took out a token, the leading officer changed his ferocious and arrogant face during the day, smiled and ordered the checkpoint to be moved away.

"You two, walk slowly!"

He shouted flatteringly at the carriage which had already sailed away.
