Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources
Chapter 27 It's better for each side to take a step back
When the stone monkey saw that everyone was motionless, he became anxious.
"How many people are there in the Shen family?"
"There are so many of us, what are we afraid of them for!"
Someone answered in a low voice.
"They have treasures in their hands; we mere mortals are no match for them."
The stone monkey was disappointed that the iron was not turned into steel.
"So what if there's something precious? Just grab it!"
Upon hearing the stone monkey's words, everyone's gaze immediately turned fervent.
The cool moonlight shone on them.
Shen Zhaoning's round eyes reflected the terrifying, elongated shadows of these people, and she couldn't help but clutch her brother's clothes tightly.
These people are all crazy.
He was driven mad by greed and hunger.
If we don't find a way to end this, everyone might really die here.
Suddenly, the image of her mother's death flashed into Shen Zhaoning's mind.
Her small face turned deathly pale.
The stone monkey's subordinates rushed forward, but this time they were prepared and knew everyone's tactics, so they easily avoided everyone's attacks.
It can be said that apart from Qin Su, the others had almost no power to resist.
Despite Shen Yu's best efforts to protect Shen Zhaoning, Shen Zhaoning was still injured.
She lay on the ground, watching the people around her fall injured one by one, and an overwhelming fear and anger rose in her heart.
So what if they have money?
That's their money too.
What's wrong with them just wanting to protect their money?
Just then, Cheng Hu stood up.
He adjusted the brass knuckles in his hand, then grabbed someone and punched them hard.
Qin Su was already highly skilled in martial arts, and with Cheng Hu's help, she quickly defeated the man.
Although the Shen family seemed to have won the battle, everyone's eyes were filled with resentment.
Seeing everyone's gaze, Hua Zhuyue sighed.
"I originally intended to resolve this matter by turning a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing. Why must you all be so aggressive?"
The stone monkey, trampled underfoot, grumbled angrily.
"Sun Xiao clearly despises your Shen family, which is why he deliberately targets us. He only gives us five coarse cakes per meal. Even if we each eat only one a day, several of us still don't have enough to eat."
"It all started because of you! We're starving while you're eating and drinking well. I won't accept this!"
A dark-skinned man also spoke up.
"I don't want to hurt you, but my family hasn't eaten for three days. We've been surviving on wild grass by the roadside! We just want to live!"
"If your family has been starving for days, and there's a piece of fatty meat right in front of you, would you take it and be killed by the tiger guarding it, or would you starve to death if you didn't?
To everyone else, the treasures on the Shen family's body were like a piece of fat meat.
Those forces that might be lurking in the shadows, protecting the Shen family, are like tigers.
Even though they knew the Shen family might be no ordinary people, they still had no choice but to take the risk.
Their questions silenced Hua Zhuyue.
Even Shen Zhaoning began to think about this issue.
If it were her grandmother and brother who were hungry, she would definitely find a way to get them food.
Even knowing it's a dead end, she'll still try.
During her exile, she often went hungry, so she knew how unpleasant it was to be hungry.
Shen Zhaoning lowered her thick eyelashes, her small face serious.
"We may not have any money, but we have food."
"I can guarantee that no one will starve to death, but you must not do any more bad things."
On the road to exile, everyone had to be mindful of the officials' moods when it came to eating, drinking, and relieving themselves.
Unless you kill all the officials, you'll have nowhere to spend your money.
At this time, food is more precious than money.
Everyone looked up, staring at Shen Zhaoning in surprise.
"Really? You're really willing to give us food?"
Just as Shen Zhaoning was about to speak, Shen Yu covered her mouth.
Shen Zhaoning blinked as she heard her brother speak.
"Although the Shen family has been defeated, they still have many followers who are secretly helping us. If you dare to harm us today, you will surely face retaliation in the future."
"How about we compromise? We can provide you with supplies during your exile, but in return, you have to provide us with cover."
Realizing they couldn't defeat the Shen family and learning they had powerful backers, everyone had given up hope. But when Shen Yu offered them food, their faces lit up with joy.
"Really?"
"Anyone who can give me food is my benefactor. If anyone dares to touch you, I'll fight them."
"As long as there's food, I'd do anything, even castrate myself, let alone ask you for cover!"
Shen Zhaoning turned on her flashlight, illuminating the people in the room, and spoke softly.
"You must all be hungry. I'll go get you something to eat."
Shen Yu stood up.
"I'll go with you."
Shen Yingying spoke softly.
"The door is locked; we can't get out."
A gaunt old man stepped forward.
"It's okay, I know how to pick locks. I can open this lock with ease."
As the old man spoke, he walked to the door lock, fiddled with it a couple of times, and the lock opened.
He peeked out and saw no one outside. He then waved to Shen Zhaoning.
"Go ahead, I'll keep an eye on things for you."
Shen Zhaoning carefully observed her surroundings and spoke to Shen Yu in a low voice.
"I bought some compressed biscuits and chocolate at the supermarket beforehand, and hid them in advance in case they found them."
"There isn't much, but it's enough for everyone to get some."
Shen Yu felt somewhat guilty.
"I'm sorry, Tuantuan, I'm so useless. Not only can I not protect you and take care of you, but you also have to support me."
Shen Zhaoning shook her head: "That's not how it is."
"Before I was granted the right to go to that world, everyone took care of me. Now that I have the opportunity to take care of everyone, I am really happy."
My mother once said that when she was alive.
As a family, we share both prosperity and adversity; there's no need for family members to be overly concerned with gains and losses.
If everyone has their own ulterior motives, then misfortune will inevitably follow one after another in the family, and there will be no peace.
It is because my aunt is too concerned about gains and losses that the situation has continued to escalate today.
If sacrificing some food could ensure her family's safety, she would be willing.
Shen Zhaoning felt a little guilty.
"I agreed to give everyone food today without discussing it with my brother. Will he be angry with me?"
Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"How could I be angry with you? Actually, I've been thinking about sharing the food with them for a while now."
"Those constables are eyeing us covetously. The closer we get to the northern border, the more impatient they become. Right now, they're just trying to incite these convicts to turn against us. In a few days, they'll probably take direct action against us."
With the weapons provided by the Tuan Tuan, they were able to defeat the exiled criminals by surprise, but they could not deal with the constables.
The constables had knives in their hands. If a fight really broke out, their stun guns probably wouldn't even touch the hem of someone's clothes before their heads were severed.
"If we can win over these people and incite them to fight against the officials with us, we will have a chance to reach the northern frontier alive."
"Otherwise... we will be attacked from both sides."
