Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources
Chapter 22 Being Watched
One thousand and five!
Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up.
That much money is enough for her to buy lots and lots of steamed dumplings.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Zhaoning hurriedly agreed, but then realized that she had used the excuse of going to the outhouse to come out, and couldn't stay outside for too long.
She responded dejectedly.
"It seems that won't work; I don't have time tonight."
Lin Xiuzhi smiled.
"Not today, it's the night after tomorrow."
Shen Zhaoning's eyes lit up.
"Okay, I'll definitely find a way to film the night after tomorrow."
"By the way, Grandma, someone is trying to hurt me and my family. Do you have a way to help us fight off those bad guys?"
Upon hearing Shen Zhaoning's words, Lin Xiuzhi's tone immediately became serious.
"Some bad guys are trying to hurt you, you should call the police!"
Call the police?
Shen Zhaoning roughly knew that the police in this world were the same as the constables and officials in her own world.
But they are now the families of exiled criminals, and it is impossible for them to seek the protection of the government.
Shen Zhaoning was worried that if she talked too much with Lin Xiuzhi, she might accidentally reveal her identity.
So she decisively rejected Lin Xiuzhi's suggestion and made up an excuse to brush it off.
"No, we can't call the police."
"What if... what if they didn't intend to harm us?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuzhi felt that Shen Zhaoning's words made sense.
She thought for a moment and then said.
"It's too late today. Go to the supermarket and buy a few fruit knives to keep with you for self-defense."
"Tomorrow during the day, I'll go to the place that sells security equipment and buy you some self-defense items."
After listening to Lin Xiuzhi's advice, Shen Zhaoning went to the supermarket and bought several fruit knives.
On the way, I passed by the snack section and saw colorful candies on the shelves, so I curiously went over to look.
What is this?
It's so beautiful!
GG is playing on the large GG screen not far away.
A man was kicking a ball listlessly when someone suddenly handed him something with strange packaging.
He took a bite and immediately won the game. Afterwards, the man held up the strange packaging and shouted.
"Fideca chocolate, quenches hunger, and leaves you feeling refreshed."
To quell hunger?
It seems...very impressive.
This thing looks so small, yet it can instantly make someone stronger?
That's amazing!
Shen Zhaoning searched diligently for Fatca chocolate on the candy shelf.
Seeing a little baby looking around helplessly, the sales assistant warmly approached.
"Little friend, what are you looking for?"
Shen Zhaoning pointed at the screen and said.
"I want that one, the one that makes me stronger after I eat it."
The sales assistant followed Shen Zhaoning's finger and looked at the large screen hanging high up.
"Come on, I'll take you to get it, okay?"
On the way, the sales assistant held Shen Zhaoning's dirty hand and continued to introduce the products enthusiastically.
"The child probably wants something that's easy to carry and filling, right?"
Shen Zhaoning nodded earnestly.
"You don't necessarily have to buy chocolate!"
"Chocolate is too sweet; eating too much is bad for your teeth."
Shen Zhaoning tilted her head and looked at the sales assistant.
"Then what else can you eat a little bit and not feel hungry?"
"Compressed biscuits, huh?"
"High in sugar and salt, if you eat a small piece and drink some water, it will expand in your stomach and keep you very hungry."
"Most importantly, it's not as sweet as chocolate."
Shen Zhaoning immediately made the decision.
"I want to buy it, I want to buy it!"
Shen Zhaoning only bought a few pieces of chocolate and compressed biscuits.
Because I bought so few, they were completely hidden in my pocket.
She returned to the dilapidated temple with the items and handed the fruit knife to Hua Zhuyue.
Hua Zhuyue quietly distributed the knives to everyone.
After a while.
A rustling sound gradually arose from among the prisoners.
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Zhaoning immediately opened her eyes wide and surveyed her surroundings.
Everyone was fast asleep, but several emaciated prisoners slowly approached.
Seeing them approach, Shen Zhaoning quickly closed her eyes, only squinting through a narrow opening to observe their movements.
Then, these men approached with grim expressions.
They carefully rummaged through the Shen family's luggage and personal belongings.
One of them said in a low voice.
"That's impossible! The Shen family is so powerful, how could they not have anything of value?"
Another person replied.
"Are you stupid? The items in the bundle are inspected by the officials. Even if the Shen family were incredibly foolish, they wouldn't put anything valuable in there!"
"In my opinion, they must have kept all their valuables on their person."
Some people were skeptical that the Shen family would possess anything valuable.
"They don't seem to have any money on them. If they did, why don't they take good care of themselves instead of suffering with us?"
"You're wrong. As the saying goes, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, let alone the Marquis of Yongning!"
"In my opinion, they must have hidden all their money on their person."
"It's almost dawn. Let's do a quick search first, and then we'll find a chance to search them more thoroughly tomorrow night."
The group searched the bundle thoroughly but found nothing of value, and they were all somewhat discouraged.
They stood above the Shen family members, their dark eyes fixed on them with a sinister gaze.
It seems they are trying to determine on whom the Shen family has hidden the valuables.
Feeling uneasy under their gazes, Shen Zhaoning turned over and mumbled in her sleep.
"Waaaah, I'm so hungry, I want to eat chicken drumsticks, chicken drumsticks smell so good."
Xiaoman sat up abruptly with her eyes closed.
"Chicken leg? Where's the chicken leg?!"
Xiaoman's actions startled the group.
Not wanting to disturb others, they tugged at each other's sleeves and quietly left.
Shen Zhaoning opened her eyes a crack and watched them lie back down, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Thanks to Brother Xiaoman, if it weren't for him, these people would have been watching for who knows how long.
She looked at Xiaoman gratefully.
But then they noticed Xiaoman sniffing.
"No... it's a scam!"
Then, he smacked his lips and lay down.
The next morning, as everyone slowly got up, they discovered that Shen Zhaoning had dark eyes, making her look like a little panda.
Hua Zhuyue couldn't help but laugh when she saw the dark circles under Shen Zhaoning's eyes.
"What happened to Tuantuan? Did she get beaten up while thieving in the night?"
Shen Zhaoning leaned close to Hua Zhuyue and spoke softly.
"Grandmother, I wasn't beaten, I was scared by a thief."
Shen Zhaoning had a serious expression on her face.
"Last night, many people were secretly watching us and even went through our bags."
"I heard them say that they're going to search us thoroughly tonight."
"Grandma, why don't we hide everything in that other world? That way they won't be able to find it!"
Hua Zhuyue frowned upon hearing this.
"Indeed, it is a solution."
During the raid, everyone tried their best to hide something on their person.
On ordinary days, it was enough to barely fool the officials, since there were many exiled prisoners and it was impossible to search each one carefully.
But it's not easy to fool everyone all the time.
Firstly, these prisoners were locked up together all day.
Secondly, Sun Xiao's words yesterday had already drawn everyone's attention to them.
Whether they are officials or prisoners, everyone now wants to take a piece of their flesh.
only……
She had never been to that world and didn't know what it was like.
Can we really put everything into that world?
What if we encounter thieves and they steal everything?
Hua Zhuyue called Shen Yu over to discuss the matter.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yu lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.
"Yesterday we stayed in the dilapidated temple with the officials, and these people were still so bold. If we don't have the protection of the officials tonight, there may be trouble."
"No matter how powerful Second Aunt is, she's only one person. As long as we lure her away, we'll be like turtles in a jar."
"In my opinion, rather than letting others benefit, we should take a gamble and let Tuantuan take all the valuables with him."
