Exile at the start? Milkball filming, hoarding billions of resources

Shen Zhaoning stared at the steel knife around the stone monkey's neck, her chest pounding wildly.

As the stone monkey retreated, Sun Xiao's gloomy face gradually came into view.

Sun Xiao walked in slowly, carrying food in one hand and a knife in the other.

Sun Xiao glanced at everyone.

"You don't actually think I'd be scared by talk of ghosts and spirits, do you?"

The crowd looked at the stone monkey with a hint of anger in their eyes.

I told him not to go out, but he just wouldn't listen!

Now look what's happened, we've caused trouble!

Sun Xiao brought the knife closer to the stone monkey's neck, and the sharp blade instantly left a bloody mark on the stone monkey's neck.

"Tell me! Where did you get this food?"

The stone monkey's legs trembled violently, even more violently than the hands of the cook in the Marquis's mansion.

Shen Zhaoning looked at the stone monkey and nervously reached up to fiddle with her sleeve.

Sun Xiao brought the knife closer, his tone even more stern: "Speak!"

The stone monkey knelt down with a thud.

"This...this is because some villagers took pity on us and secretly helped us."

Sun Xiao lowered his eyes to look at the stone monkey and shook his beard.

"Really? Then take me to identify the villagers."

"Who is so bold as to dare to provide unauthorized aid to exiled criminals? Could it be an accomplice who committed crimes with you?!"

"If you don't hand over your accomplices today, I'll break your arms and legs and then chop off your head."

The stone monkey secretly glanced at Hua Zhuyue.

Hua Zhuyue shook her head at the stone monkey.

The stone monkey was dissatisfied.

He was trying to cover for Hua Zhuyue, but Hua Zhuyue told him not to say it.

Do you want him to have his limbs and head chopped off before you're satisfied?

Seeing that the stone monkey did not speak, Sun Xiao swung his knife and severed one of the stone monkey's arms.

The stone monkey's arm flew high, bringing with it a spray of blood.

Qin Su and Shen Yu, standing on either side of Shen Zhaoning, reached out and covered Shen Zhaoning's eyes.

"Don't look."

Without a strong flashlight, the room was actually quite dark.

Shen Zhaoning didn't see anything clearly before her second aunt and brother covered her eyes.

Because she couldn't see, her hearing was more sensitive. Shen Zhaoning clearly heard the stone monkey's screams and the breathing of the crowd.

The stone monkey knelt on the ground, half of its body covered in blood.

He howled with his head thrown back, but his shrill screams did not soften Sun Xiao's heart; instead, they fueled his bloodlust.

Sun Xiao aimed the knife at his right arm.

"You just cut off my left arm, so losing it won't affect you much. This time, I'm going to cut off my right arm!"

"If we cut off your right arm, you'll never be able to lift anything again. Are you sure you want to become a cripple for someone else?"

Sun Xiao's breath reeked of strong alcohol as he looked at the stone monkey.

"As long as you name that person, you'll have food to eat every day for the next few days, and I can even let you leave in a prison van without having to walk."

"So! Should we tell them about that person?"

The stone monkey kept breathing heavily in pain.

He glanced at Hua Zhuyue.

He noticed that Hua Zhuyue still didn't intend to speak up for him, and his eyes filled with resentment.

Seeing that the stone monkey still didn't speak, Sun Xiao laughed and nodded.

"Good, good, good, you're really loyal! You're even willing to give up your right arm for someone you don't even know."

"You've got guts. When I make my cut, I'll be quick and precise, and give you a quick death as soon as possible."

As Sun Xiao spoke, he raised the knife in his hand high.

Everyone closed their eyes in unison.

Just as Sun Xiao's knife was about to fall, the stone monkey suddenly shouted.

"It's the Shen family! These things were all given to me by the Shen family!"

"We just arrived in the village and haven't had a chance to contact outsiders yet, so how could we possibly get so much food!"

"This was all given to us by the Shen family!"

Hua Zhuyue laughed out loud upon hearing this.

"Young man, you've always disliked the Shen family. Not only did you steal our belongings in the middle of the night, but you also tried to humiliate us, a widow and her orphan. We've tolerated all of that."

"I never imagined you'd say something like that just to protect your comrades!"

"Don't you think before you lie? The Shen family all hold positions in the capital; how could they possibly get food in this remote place?"

"Even if my Shen family has extraordinary abilities to obtain it, why should we give it to lowly people like you?"

Hua Zhuyue straightened her back and said loudly.

"Sir, how can you determine that this item belongs to the Shen family based solely on this man's word?"

"We all saw it clearly; this food was sent by this kid's accomplices."

Everyone was counting on the Shen family for financial assistance, so naturally they wouldn't want to undermine the Shen family at this time and all agreed.

"Absolutely, absolutely. The Shen family, with only an orphan and a widow, where would they get their hands on something like this?"

"Sir, please don't wrong an innocent person!"

Upon hearing this, the stone monkey crawled forward and picked up the cake from the ground.

"My lord, my lord, please believe me, these were all obtained by the Shen family."

"Putting everything else aside, just take this cake for example. How could such a precious thing be obtained by a lowly person?"

Sun Xiao glanced at Hua Zhuyue.

"What do you have to say now?"

Hua Zhuyue looked at the stone monkey with a puzzled expression.

"So this is called a cake? It looks rather unusual. I wonder what it tastes like."

Upon hearing that Hua Zhuyue was feigning ignorance, the stone monkey became enraged and pounced on her.

"You old hag, didn't you get all this stuff? Stop pretending!"

Hua Zhuyue retreated in panic.

"Sir, this man has gone mad! You must do something about him!"

Seeing this, Cheng Hu stepped forward and stopped the stone monkey. The stone monkey looked at Cheng Hu and repeatedly begged him for help.

"Brother Cheng, please say a few words for me! Tell the officials that these things were provided by the Shen family, right?"

Cheng Hu frowned.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you take these out?"

Shen Yu casually interjected.

"If these things belong to the Shen family, why weren't the people who went out to retrieve them from the Shen family?"

"Exactly, exactly. The Shen family can take what's theirs, can't they? It's none of your business to worry about it."

"Alright, Stone Monkey, so what if you took a fancy to the Wan family, and they didn't reciprocate your feelings? Is it really necessary for you to retaliate like this!"

"A real man should be responsible for his actions; it's pointless to go around making false accusations."

With everyone offering their opinions, the blame was quickly placed on the stone monkey.

The stone monkey looked at everyone in disbelief.

"Why are you all speaking up for the Shen family! For a bite to eat, have you really abandoned all conscience?!"

"If I can't identify the Shen family, I'll die!"

In the darkness, everyone cast cold glances at the stone monkey.

In the past, they were willing to provoke a conflict with the Shen family just for a bite to eat.

Having just had a few full meals, they naturally don't want to continue living the miserable life of hunger.

Faced with everyone's indifferent attitude, the stone monkey staggered a few steps.

He looked at Shen Zhaoning.

The little guy was shielded behind his family, with only a small corner of his clothes showing. Despite being in exile, he was so innocent and unaware of the ways of the world.

His heart was twisted as his face, and he pointed at Shen Zhaoning and spoke.

"Sir, you may interrogate her!"

"All that food was brought back by her!"
