Chapter 285 Hunting Ground
Qin Xuerong was stunned and was unable to react.
Old Madam Shen said coldly, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let Sister Yu live in the Qin Mansion for a long time. If I had known that she was infected with evil spirits in the Qin Mansion, I shouldn't have taken her back! Now everyone in my Shen Mansion is being antagonized by her, who on earth should I go to to reason with this!"
Qin Xuerong understood now that Old Madam Shen was blaming Shen Jingyu for the assassination.
"Mom, Sister Yu..." Qin Xuerong tried to explain.
Old Madam Shen interrupted impatiently: "Okay, no need to say more. Lin Ge'er is the heir of the Shen family, I will send someone to find him."
Qin Xuerong, who was sent away, returned to the car in a daze, but an idea couldn't help but arise in her mind.
Could it be that what the Taoist said was true?
Otherwise, why did the old lady fall ill and Lin Ge'er disappear just when Sister Yu returned home...
Now that I think about it, even the things that happened at the birthday party that day started when Sister Yu returned home.
Qin Xuerong suddenly came back to her senses and shook her head vigorously.
"No! That's not it!"
These are all conspiracies and designs of that bastard Shen Shuyi and have nothing to do with Yu Jie'er. Yu Jie'er is the destined phoenix girl and is not a disaster.
After the Shen family rested, they took advantage of the night and continued to move towards the Jade Buddha Temple.
Old Madam Shen assigned a group of people to search for Shen Shuyi and Shen Jinglin at the foot of the mountain. She also sent someone to notify Shen Jingchuan and asked him to send someone to look for them.
On the other side, Shen Shuyi and his group were also heading towards the Jade Buddha Temple.
However, their road was more difficult to travel, and they were far away, so their progress was slow.
At night, Qinxin and Yuping roasted meat over the lit firewood. Qinxin and Jianpo were very skilled and caught a pheasant.
The few of them did not hesitate. After all, there were many uncertainties in the forest, so they had to keep the dry food they had for future use.
Jianpo was looking around while Jinzhu was mending his clothes.
Although Shen Shuyi had been prepared, the space in the car was limited and not enough to hold too many things. Jinzhu used needle and thread to modify the clothes and cloaks. According to Shen Shuyi's idea, everyone could get a warm piece of clothing to keep warm.
Shen Shuyi was wearing the cloak he had worn before, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, lying on a thin blanket, looking at the night sky.
The night in the forest is very quiet, so quiet that you can clearly hear the whistling of the cold wind, the swaying of branches in the mountain wind, the rustling of dead leaves, and the roars of monkeys and tigers in the distance...
The night sky is like a huge inky black curtain, dotted with bright and dazzling stars, with a crescent moon hanging high in the sky, making people feel the rare freedom.
Jinzhu looked at Shen Shuyi from time to time. Seeing that she was staring at the night sky in a daze, she couldn't help but ask Jianpo beside her: "What are you thinking about, Miss?"
Jianpo paused and shook his head slightly dully. She had followed Shen Shuyi for so long and he didn't know, so how could he know?
Jinzhu gave her a look of disdain.
Hearing the noise, Shen Shuyi chuckled and turned to look: "Thinking about how to seek revenge on Shen Jingyu."
Jinzhu immediately became interested: "Have you thought of it?"
Yuping also immediately pricked up her ears, straightened her back, and looked like she was listening attentively.
Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze, stared at the night sky and said, "I thought of it."
After a few brief words, there was no further news.
Jinzhu: “…”
Yu Ping: “…”
Qin Xin and Jian Po also silently withdrew their gaze.
The few of them stayed in a nearby cave for the night. Shen Shuyi was not in a hurry because he had prepared a lot of medicinal powder in advance, so no wild beasts came near.
With the addition of two masters, Qin Xin and Jian Po, the group's life was quite comfortable.
I roasted a chicken on the first day, roasted a fish on the second day, and stewed mushroom soup on the third day. It was so delicious that it made my eyebrows fall out.
After having their fill of food and drink, the group looked at each other and were actually a little reluctant to leave.
"Eat, eat, eat... It's so heavy to carry so many pastries." Yuping couldn't help but speak, her initial worry no longer present.
Jianpo rubbed her round belly and felt that Yuping's cooking skills were so good that she couldn't help but think about what to eat every day.
Glancing at the dim sky, Shen Shuyi said gently, "Rest for another night tonight, and we should be able to get out of this forest tomorrow."
That’s right, walking out of this forest does not mean you will reach the Jade Buddha Temple.
It wasn't that they were lost, but the area was surrounded. They changed direction several times, but were surrounded every time, so they had no choice but to take a detour.
Shen Shuyi recalled the hunting ground sign he saw the next day, and immediately realized that they were trapped in the hunting ground of the third prince.
According to the memory of the previous life, besides the mountains and forests, there was only the hunting ground of the third prince in this area.
Although successive emperors often came to this area to hunt, the emperor's hunting ground only had an entrance at one end of the forest and there were no restrictions around it.
So this place can only belong to the third prince.
Shen Shuyi recalled that, if she remembered correctly, someone had reported to the emperor that the third prince had secretly hidden weapons in this hunting ground.
However, Shen Shuyi was not sure whether the weapon was framed by someone else or whether the prince was really so bold as to hide the weapon.
Shen Shuyi was actually looking forward to discovering some clues in this forest.
Unfortunately, she and a few others jumped around like a group of wild beasts for several days, but they still couldn't find the hidden weapons.
Just then, a rabbit jumped out from behind the tree trunk.
Jianpo was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and he threw the sword out immediately.
The rabbit had one leg injured, but it still ran away quickly. Jianpo turned to look at Shen Shuyi, a little embarrassed and said: "Still...still eating? Not...still catching?"
Shen Shuyi looked straight at her with his dark eyes, which made Jian Po's cheeks flush red.
Shen Shuyi chuckled and said, "Go ahead."
After hearing this, Jianpo's stern face immediately brightened up and he went straight to the bloodstain on the ground.
Shen Shuyi and his group followed. After a while, Jianpo was holding a rabbit in one hand and looking at Yuping longingly.
Yu Ping looked at Jian Po's face, which had obviously become rounder, and fell silent: "..."
Several people made fire on the spot. Jianpo began to process the rabbit hair under Yuping's command, while Jinzhu picked up some fruits nearby. No matter whether they were sour or sweet, he would bring them back to Yuping and he would always be able to make different flavors in different ways.
Yuping picked out the fruits, took out the sour fruits and marinated them together with the rabbit meat, then put some fruit pulp on bamboo sticks and roasted them together with the processed rabbit meat.
She built another fire with some other sweet fruits and made fruit wine using split bamboo tubes.
Shen Shuyi leaned against a tree trunk, still thinking about the current situation.
Jiang Li should be looking for them, but the Third Prince's hunting ground is not easy to enter, so they may not run into them.
"It smells so good~" After a while, Qin Xin couldn't help but speak.
Shen Shuyi smiled and turned to look at Yuping, but the moment she turned her head, she felt a dazzling cold light facing the setting sun, which made her unable to open her eyes.
Shen Shuyi frowned and looked again. After a moment, her sight fell on a cave halfway up the mountain not far away. Then she slowly stood up.
The cave looked shallow and was filled with dead branches outside, but Shen Shuyi looked at the angles several times and was sure that there were bursts of cold light inside.
