After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it

Chapter 346: Adventure in the Mountains

Shen Nanzhi smiled mysteriously: "You don't want to know now, let's go."

Jiayi and the others looked at each other and were a little nervous. The girl was going to do something big!

Should I inform the master? Send more people over. Jiayi felt that his small body could not bear the girl's behavior.

But there was no way. Shen Nanzhi did not give him this opportunity. They almost ate and slept together. The girl did not avoid suspicion at all and was more able to endure hardships. She did not complain when camping at night and kept an eye on him under her nose. Jia Yi did not dare to make the girl angry.

We found an inn to stay in, had a good meal, stored the horses, rested for a night, and the next day we went into the mountains with the dry food prepared by the inn.

Shen Nanzhi had looked at the map and knew that by going into the mountains, one could reach the exit of the Xin'an River. All they needed to do was blast a bigger hole to allow more river water to flow in, and the drought would be completely alleviated.

As for whether it will cause flooding, that is something that needs to be considered later.

Drought was certain this summer, and she had a year to build the dam, and if necessary, she could invent the cement.

This is a long-term construction project, and what humans are best at is changing their environment.

After entering the forest, Jiayi and the others felt a little uneasy. The trees were so high that they couldn't see the sunlight even if they raised their heads.

Shen Nanzhi looked at them looking around and was a little amused: "Don't you have jungle tracking in your secret guard training?"

"Why are you tracking in the jungle?"

"What if the fugitive gets into the mountains? Don't we have to chase him?"

"Don't enter a forest. This is basic common sense. Even if the fugitives go into the mountains, they won't survive for long. Isn't there any need to chase them and collect their bodies?"

What they said made a lot of sense. It was the first time that Shen Nanzhi didn't argue with them.

After this chat, everyone was not so nervous anymore. Jialiu even shot a pheasant and brought it back happily: "We can make chicken soup with it."

"It takes too long to make chicken soup. Where is the time? Let me show you my cooking skills. Let's eat beggar's chicken."

"Beggar's chicken? Is that what beggars eat?"

Jialiu tried to atone for his sins by remaining silent. Seeing that she did not blame him, he slowly dared to talk to her.

"If you dislike it, you don't have to eat it."

Shen Nanzhi didn't indulge him. Jialiu was still not steady enough. If Jiayi hadn't said to retreat, the master would have killed him. Shen Nanzhi would not keep him.

Jialiu didn't dare to say anything and hunted two more rabbits, so he had lunch.

Shen Nanzhi made some mud, wrapped the pheasant in it, and threw it into the fire. He also roasted the rabbit and boiled water on top.

Bring the hot water to a boil, add a handful of multi-grain powder fried by Shen Nanzhi, which contains various sesame seeds, peanuts, minced meat, and dried vegetables. Soon a pot of porridge will be cooked.

Break up the dry food and soak it in water, then eat a bowl of hot soup, and you will feel full and refreshed.

It’s such a blessing to be able to eat a bowl of this in the wild.

After filling his stomach and eating the roasted rabbit, Jialiu was still thinking about the beggar's chicken. "Is it ready?"

"No, I boiled some hot water. Everyone has added more hot water. The fire will be fine once it's no longer in use. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Waiting patiently, Shen Nanzhi dug out the roasted dry mud and pried it open. A rich fragrance wafted out. Even though he had just eaten, he couldn't help drooling.

"Is this beggar's chicken? It smells so good!"

"Beggar's chicken is not something that only beggars can eat, but it's easy to make. Even if a beggar has nothing, he can still eat delicious roast chicken. Share it and try something new."

There wasn't much meat on a pheasant, so it was gone in just a few bites. Everyone was still not satisfied: "Let's shoot a few more pheasants later, and each of us can have one tonight to satisfy our craving. We didn't have enough just now."

"I can eat two."

"A glutton? That's enough."

Shen Nanzhi pulled out two sweet potatoes from the fire. The sweet taste made them swallow their saliva again, and they seemed to be getting greedy following the girl.

The food the girl made was so delicious that even those who didn't care about food couldn't help but want to eat more.

After all, no one doesn't like delicious food.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while they set off again. It was another boring journey in the afternoon, but they were busy jumping up and down to catch pheasants. No wonder they say men stay young until they die, they were so enthusiastic about catching pheasants that they didn't even feel tired.

They prepared dinner. The enthusiasm for beggar's chicken had not yet worn off. Shen Nanzhi was speechless. If these guys kept eating like this, all the pheasants in the mountains would be eaten up.

"You guys cook, I'll walk around."

"Girl, I'm with you and I'm here to protect you."

"Are you sure you can protect me and not hold me back?"

As long as Jiayi gives up, as a protector, the master is more powerful than them, how can they reason with him?

Feeling so useless, Jialiu was silent. Where did he get the courage to go against the girl in the first place?

Shen Nanzhi released the tiger and rode leisurely on its back. This tiger was caught last year and was kept in the space instead of being killed.

In other words, it was obedient enough and human-like, so Shen Nanzhi was reluctant to kill it. There were also many living things in the space, enough to feed it.

But because it didn't have to hunt, the tiger grew fatter and fatter, so fat that she didn't even want to admit it was her pet. It was so embarrassing.

Therefore, Shen Nanzhi would let it out for a walk whenever she had the chance, but she would make sure it didn't get too fat. Animals that are too fat will get sick and their lifespan will be affected.

The tiger was named Xiaohu. Shen Nanzhi was too lazy to name it. When he first caught it, it was still a half-grown cub, but now it has become an adult tiger.

Weighing four or five hundred kilograms, if you have never actually seen a tiger, you will not be able to feel the oppressive feeling it brings.

Shen Nanzhi sat cross-legged on the tiger's back and asked the little tiger to find water. This saved trouble. Otherwise, it would take ten days or half a month to search in the mountains and forests, and the water would be cold by the time it got there.

As expected, it is the king of the mountains. The little tiger carried it on its back and walked more than ten miles in a short while, which was much faster than walking on its own.

After running for an hour, the little tiger suddenly stopped and sniffed. He looked a little confused. Why did he smell like a human?

"What's wrong? Have you arrived yet?"

The little tiger shook his head, squatted down and walked slowly. This was a vigilant action, and it also meant that he had discovered prey and wanted to catch it. Shen Nanzhi was also lying on its back. The prey that the little tiger took a fancy to must be a different prey.

It is tired of eating chickens, ducks, cows and sheep. Every time I see its perfunctory expression when eating chicken, I feel that its life is too idle and I want to find a job for it.

Shen Nanzhi finally saw something unusual. There were two people lying in a bush, and there was a smell of blood in the air.

"There is someone?"

In this deep forest, ghosts are more common, but people are rare.

There were also sounds of footsteps, and judging from the noise, there were quite a few people around. Shen Nanzhi felt like he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary.

"Go and scare them all away."

Xiaohu's eyes lit up, this was his favorite thing to do. He once scared a cow into having a miscarriage, and was beaten up by Shen Nanzhi.

Now that he could scare people according to the emperor's order, Xiaohu used all his acting skills. When he got in front of the group of people, he suddenly pounced out and roared in their faces, which scared the people so much that they screamed and even the night owls flew away.

"what?"

"Tiger, it's a grown tiger, run."

"How come there is a tiger? Aren't we going to get rid of it?"

"If you don't believe me, go back and see. I was so scared that I pissed myself. It was so damn scary. Its teeth were about to touch my head."

The man was scared away, but Xiaohu chased after him and teased him, causing a lot of chaos and having a lot of fun.

Shen Nanzhi went out to look at the two people, "What are you two doing?"

The two turned around in fear, and became even more nervous when they saw her face: "Who are you?"

"I am the goddess of the mountain. Why don't I kneel down and kowtow?"

The two were half-believing and half-doubting. They looked to be relatively young, and their messy hair made it hard to tell whether they were male or female. However, their eyes were very bright, very beautiful.

The two looked at each other and really knelt down: "Please, Goddess of the Mountain, save us sisters. They are all hungry wolves and beasts. They have captured us since we were young and trained us to be spies, skinny horses, and serve rich people. We don't want to be that kind of women."

"Them? How many of them are there?"

Shen Nanzhi realized that this might be a training base. It was hidden so secretly that it must not be seen by the light.

"There are hundreds of them. Every year they capture children and send them here to be trained as killers. Only one in ten survives. We sisters could not bear the humiliation and their harsh training, so we had to run away."

Shen Nanzhi said: "You point me to a road and I'll go over and take a look. Close your eyes and I'll take you to a safe place."

"Okay, thank you, Goddess of the Mountain."

They really believed that it was their luck to meet the Mountain Goddess.

Shen Nanzhi sent people into the space and chased after Xiaohu. Even though it scared people away, once they returned to the base, they could join forces to kill it.

A tiger is very valuable, but the little tiger doesn't know its own value.

Fortunately, Shen Nanzhi arrived in time, and the group of people had already organized themselves to draw bows and shoot arrows, besieging Xiaohu.

Shen Nanzhi blew a whistle to train it to go home, otherwise she would be exhausted from searching the entire space.

The tiger cub immediately turned around, jumped into the woods and disappeared.

The other person became even more nervous. Why did he leave?

Everything that happened tonight was strange. The leader waved his hand and said, "Send more people to search. No one within a radius of 20 miles can be spared. Where are those two bitches?"

"I haven't found it yet. Could it have been eaten by a tiger?"

"If you want to see the person alive, you must see the body dead. Don't take any chances."

"Yes, chief."

Shen Nanzhi lay on the tree and watched them disperse to search. The leader stood there and observed for a long time, then turned around and went back.

Shen Nanzhi followed him to a huge shallow basin, where there were actually a lot of people living, with lights flickering, like a small village.

However, the entrance was easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there were two sentry posts with four soldiers standing there, watching the surroundings vigilantly.

What on earth is this place?

Shen Nanzhi did not risk going in to investigate. No matter how powerful she was, she was still alone. She would save people and leave, and then ask about their origins first.

……

Jiayi and the others have been waiting anxiously. Two hours have passed, why hasn't the girl come back yet?

Jia Liu couldn't help but said, "Let's go look for her. What if something happens and we can't explain to the master? Such a willful girl is really hard to serve."

Jia Yi hesitated. The girl was capable, but there were too many unexpected things in the forest, such as poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts, which made it impossible to guard against them.

"Wait another half hour."

Jia Er dug out a sweet potato and was eating it happily. When he looked up, he saw two green eyes staring at him. He was so scared that he dropped the sweet potato on the ground. "What is that?"

Everyone drew their swords and surrounded them vigilantly. Xiaohu suddenly pounced out and saw that they were so scared that they were pissing their shit. He grinned with joy, what a bunch of little losers.

"That's enough. Stop scaring people and get down."

It was the girl's voice. Jia Yi felt like he was dreaming as he watched Shen Nanzhi walk down from the tiger's back.

"Girl, you've been out for so long, did you bring back a tiger?"

"Yes, this is in the mountains. We need to find a local snake to help us. With it, no beast will dare to attack us. Am I smart?"

"It's really smart, but a little scary."

"You can't be so brave. When I saw the tiger, my first thought was not to let it go, but to be happy. This is walking silver. What about you? Do you just want to escape?"

The six people lowered their heads, feeling extremely ashamed. No wonder the other person was the master and they were the servants. Their courage was extraordinary.
