Chapter 119: Things in the Mountains
Qi Cheng's stomach rumbling was louder than last time. He covered his stomach, feeling a little embarrassed.
It’s not his fault, he was really hungry.
Qi Cheng ate two dry biscuits in the morning. Normally, he would not consume them so quickly. He had been walking on the mountain road all morning and had just experienced a thrilling moment.
He got hungry quickly after traveling all the way.
Qin Chaoyan curled her lips slightly, she looked at everyone and said: "My students are hungry, how about we sit down and eat something first? We can talk again at the party?"
"Yeah!"
"Don't let the children starve!"
"Yes, let's eat first!"
"Please, please! Please take a seat!"
Xiao Bai and others said repeatedly, Qin Chaoyan thanked them for their kindness, and a group of people declined. In the end, no one sat in the main seat.
Chen Shan and Xiao Bai looked at the food on the table. Although they usually only ate these, they felt it was a shame to use this kind of food to entertain the goddess and the others.
They all felt a little embarrassed and looked at a loss.
Qin Chaoyan said: "This is great. It's already very generous of you to set out this table to entertain outsiders during the New Year."
"The conditions in the mountains are not good, I hope the goddess will forgive me." Xiao Bai said.
"That's great." Qin Chaoyan said, "Okay, no need to look at me, Chen Shan, you guys pick up your chopsticks. The guest should follow the host's wishes. If you don't, my elementary school students won't dare to pick up their chopsticks."
Chen Shan and his companions looked and saw that, indeed, they did not move. Not only did the others not move, but even the two young men whose stomachs were growling with hunger did not move.
Xiao Bai and Chen Shan exchanged glances, and they both moved their chopsticks. Qin Chaoyan followed suit, and then Shan Ge and Shen An and the others started to move.
"By the way..." Qin Chaoyan remembered something and was about to speak.
Seeing Chen Shan and the others quickly put down their chopsticks in panic, Qin Chaoyan pursed her lips and decided to finish her words quickly and not say anything else, seeing how she scared these people.
"We still have a few people in our group. When they see the contact signal, they will probably find the village. Please tell the brothers guarding the gate."
Shen An and Jia San appeared calm on the surface, but they were secretly screaming in their hearts.
She is indeed a goddess!
He actually noticed that they left a signal. Looking at the people at the table, Chen Shan and his friends, Shan Ge and his friends, all looked shocked.
As expected of the goddess! Shen An and Jia San praised her in their hearts again.
Chen Shan looked at Mo Liang, who immediately stood up and said, "I'll go and tell them right away."
Qin Chaoyan took out the same crisis contact jade pendant that she had given to all students and handed it to Mo Liang.
"Give this jade pendant to the brothers who are guarding. Show it to people when they come. If they have the same jade pendant, we can let them in. They will know that we are safe."
"Okay, Goddess!"
Qin Chaoyan thought about it and decided to exchange it for a spirit butterfly.
"Take this Psylocke with you as well. Take it over there, and it will follow the mountain path to find them."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid they will think we are in danger and hide in the dark."
"Okay, Goddess!"
Mo Liang nodded solemnly, then turned around and went to do his work with a serious expression.
At this time, Chen Bing, Wei Wu and others naturally discovered that Qin Chaoyan and his group were missing.
There were some dirty footprints where they rested, but fortunately, there were no signs of fighting.
In addition, among their group, there were Qin Chaoyan, Shen An and Jia San, as well as secret guards following them.
Chen Bing and Zhang Ping felt that nothing would happen, but even though they thought so in their hearts, they were still a little uneasy after being separated from them.
Wei Wu and Chen Fengnian both looked unhappy, but they were able to keep their composure.
The four decided to follow the footprints and find Qin Chaoyan and the others.
At this time, Zhang Ping waved his hand, put his ear to the ground and listened carefully.
"There are the sounds of horse hooves coming this way. They are getting closer and closer."
"The opponent is very fast, but it seems that there is only one person."
Chen Bing frowned. Even if there was only one person, he should not be underestimated. If it was a master, the four of them, including two students who were powerless, would probably not be able to escape.
"hidden!"
The four of them hid in the bushes, holding their breath, da da da!
The figure of the horse appeared closer, and the owner of the horse was Wei Chu!
"Master Shaoqing!"
"grown ups!"
"Brother!"
"Uncle!"
"Huh!" Wei Chu looked at the four of them, quickly scanned them, and asked, "What happened?"
On the other side, Qin Chaoyan and his group also finished their lunch.
After dinner, Mo Liang, who had just finished telling people to guard the door and then came back to eat, was the one who cleaned up the dishes. He piled up a large pile, sent it back to the kitchen, and then hurried back.
At this time, Qin Chaoyan and others, mainly Shan Ge and his group, were curiously asking Chen Shan and others.
"Why do you live on the mountain?"
"Also, why did that group of soldiers chase you?"
Chen Shan sighed, Xiao Bai said: "Let me tell you, all of us were taken in by Brother Chen."
"Most of the people in the village are the elderly, the weak, women and children. It was Brother Chen who brought us up the mountain so that we could survive the famine."
"Those officers and soldiers are here to get rid of us bandits."
Xiao Bai laughed at himself, "How ridiculous! We are on our own in the mountains and support ourselves."
"Those corrupt officials who exploited us, who were living a life of luxury, now label us as troublemakers and want to destroy us."
"It's my fault." Chen Shan said, "I let those people target me."
Mo Liang clenched his fist and said, "Boss, you did nothing wrong! We did nothing wrong!"
"They are guilty of their own crimes. They robbed the relief money passing by. We saw them and they were afraid that we would go out and tell others about it. They also thought that the location of Mingcui Mountain was good and wanted to seize our mountain!"
"Although we have occupied the mountain, we have never done anything to harm anyone over the years!"
"From the original seven people on this mountain to the current 135 people, all of us are alive because of you, boss, and because of this mountain."
"I will never agree to drive us away!"
"I'm afraid these people's purpose is not just to drive us away, I'm afraid they want to kill us all." Xiao Bai said, "This way, no one will ever tell anyone about their robbery of disaster relief funds."
"How despicable!" Shan Ge said angrily, "The disaster relief money is distributed by the court to the suffering people. How dare they!?"
Shen An said: "If what you said is true, do you have any evidence? Do you know who looted the disaster relief silver?"
Jia San looked at Mo Liang who was glaring at him and said, "When the Dali Temple handles cases, they must rely on evidence, physical evidence and witness testimony, and distinguish right from wrong. This is not targeting anyone or anything, but a rule of conduct."
"We understand."
