The Shen surname of Taoli Village migrated from Kyoto more than 20 years ago.

It is said that there were several families with the surname Shen who moved together at that time, but only Mrs. Shen's family chose to stay here for a long time.

Now in the entire Taoli Village, the only adult men surnamed Shen are Shen Zhengwen and Shen Yaocai.

It can't be Shen Zhengwen who went to report to the official himself, then the person who reported the official must be Shen Yaocai.

Shen Zhengwen didn't have to think much about it to guess what was going on.

During this time, Shen Yaocai lost food and sheep.

Yesterday he was humiliated again in his house, and he received so many blows in a row, he must have a grudge.

Yesterday, when the Feng family's father and son asked him to be more careful with Shen Yaocai, he didn't pay attention to it.

I didn't expect this to happen to him today.

The two of them are obviously brothers, Shen Zhengwen asked himself, he has never done anything to be sorry for Shen Yaocai.

Shen Yaocai's experience during this time was completely self-inflicted, but he blamed everything on his head.

Now in order to deal with him, he did not hesitate to go to the yamen to beat the drum and complain, saying that there were monsters in Taoli Village.

And the baby-like monster that Shen Yaocai said when he reported the case must have referred to Xiao Niannian.

Although Xiao Niannian did not reach the point of calling the wind and rain and driving all things.

But it was true that it was because of her arrival in Taoli Village that a heavy snow fell, and it was indeed because of countless fatty fish jumping out of her well.

There is also food that appears at home for no reason and bees that appear in winter, all of which are enough to show that Xiao Niannian is extraordinary.

But others don't know, but Shen Zhengwen is very clear.

In terms of physical signs, except for being able to eat some, Xiao Niannian is no different from ordinary people.

When Bolt and Tiger picked her up, she still had a high fever.

If she hadn't encountered them, she would have almost frozen to death and died outside.

If she really is a monster, how could she let herself fall into such a dangerous situation.

If she is really a monster, how can she let her family and even the entire Taoli Village be blessed.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if she is really a monster, then he Shen Zhengwen will admit it.

Since it is determined that it is his daughter, then whether Xiao Niannian is a god or a ghost, she is his daughter.

And he will do whatever it takes to protect his daughter.

He doesn't have so many big rights and wrongs in his heart, he can only pretend to be the people he cares about.

After thinking about all this, Shen Zhengwen's mood calmed down a lot.

He pretended to be curious, and then followed the officer's words.

"Then I want to ask the official, even if there are monsters in Taoli Village, why are you driving the refugees here?"

The officer's face showed reverence, and he hugged his fist in the direction of the city.

"That's because the county magistrate, who is honest and considerate of the people, felt that he couldn't take it lightly after hearing that there were monsters in Taoli Village, so he planned to bring someone to check it out in person. I heard that there are many refugees in this place, so I naturally have to come to clear the road, so as not to bump into the county lord without a long eye. ”

"What? The county magistrate is going to bring someone over to check it out in person? There was a hint of panic on Shen Zhengwen's face.

"That's it!" The official looked adored and didn't notice Shen Zhengwen's abnormality.

"There are not many officials like our county master who have to do things personally, and they have to face monsters regardless of their own safety."

"Thank you for telling me." Shen Zhengwen stabilized his mind and said goodbye to the officials.

"Then I'll continue to hurry and don't disturb the official's office."

"Go, go, go!" The official waved his hand.

"But you have to keep in mind that the county magistrate will also pass through this road later. If you hear the carriage bell, remember to avoid it, don't bump into our county master. ”

"Thank you for telling me."

Shen Zhengwen turned around and left indifferently on the surface, but his heart was already beginning to burn.

What he didn't expect was that the Qingzhou County Commander only listened to Shen Yaocai's words, so he would personally lead people to Taoli Village.

If he only sent a servant to inquire about the situation, he might still have a way to fool the past.

But this county order of Qingzhou, he sat on the position of county order at a young age, and he has some ability to deal with it, so it must be difficult to deal with.

What's more, the people of their yamen must all have swords, and if there is a conflict at that time, it will probably be bad for their own family.

Although Nian Nian is a lucky star, if he shows extraordinary abilities in front of the county commander and others, it will only cause more trouble.

Shen Zhengwen looked up at the endless mountain road in front of him, and if he wanted to resolve this matter, he had to rush home before the county order.

He had just entered the realm of Taoli Village, and with the strength of his feet, it would take him at least an hour and a half to get home.

And the county order took a horse-drawn carriage, and it took an hour to set off from the yamen to Taoli Village.

Since manpower can't overtake the carriage, he can only use his brainpower.

He grew up in the mountains and forests and knows the terrain of Taoli Village very well.

I know that the way back to the village is not only the main road in front of me, but also a shortcut.

It's just that the approach road is narrow and steep, and you have to climb a steep hill, but it can reduce the time it takes to get back to the village by a third.

The county order has not yet arrived, as long as he takes that shortcut, he will definitely be able to return home before the county order.

Without too much hesitation, Shen Zhengwen burrowed into the dense forest.

Thorns and weeds are everywhere.

The road had not been walked for a long time, and it was overgrown with thorns and weeds.

At this time, it is quite difficult to walk.

Before the road was built in previous years, the villagers used this path to enter the city.

After the road was built, the villagers were reluctant to climb the shortcut again.

What's more, in the past two years, I heard that there are often large beasts on this shortcut road.

Since two villagers disappeared from this road, no one dared to leave.

But Shen Zhengwen has no other choice.

He wanted to fight for Xiao Niannian's safety.

Fortunately, he carried a woodcutter with him, which was originally for self-defense, and now it is convenient to cut some thorns that stand in the way.

Just chopping while walking is bound to slow down his steps.

If we fail to get back to the village before the prefectural order, these efforts will be in vain.

Shen Zhengwen was worried, and used all his strength to speed up his hands and feet.

But as he walked, he suddenly felt that the path under his feet was easy to walk, and even the annoying thorns and weeds were gone.

He looked and saw that the path was not only smoother, but also wider than before.

It doesn't look like a deserted trail at all, but it looks like it's constantly being walked around.

Could it be that the previous news that there was a large beast was false?

If there really is any beast, how can anyone still walk this path?

But Shen Zhengwen didn't have time to think about it, he had more important things now.

Since the road is easy to walk, it is harmful to him.

He put away his woodcutter and quickened his pace towards the village.

He walked like this for more than half an hour, and he saw nothing along the way except dead grass and big trees that covered the sky.

Half an hour later, he would be back in the village.

I didn't expect this road to be so convenient, not at all as scary as the people in the village said.

Shen Zhengwen thought to himself, when he went out, he must tell everyone the news that he can walk.

After all, entering the city from this road can save more than half an hour, and if there is an emergency, it is more convenient to take this shortcut.

By the way, he also had to ask who did the good deeds to make the road so smooth.

Shen Zhengwen thought in his heart as he lowered his head and hurried away.

At this moment, he suddenly heard a little wind and grass in the forest next to him.

Shen Zhengwen paused, then sped up his pace and trotted out quickly, not daring to stay in place.
