On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 17: On this road of escape, staying alive is the most important thing
If the occasion had not been wrong, Li Shiyue would have laughed a few times. Father Li and Qin Tao were indeed worthy of being able to sleep together. Their shameless nature was exactly the same.

Li Shiyue directly pulled the refugee's belt and asked Li Qiutian to help tie up the unconscious refugee like a pig.

Shitou was very strong, and he followed Li Shiyue's instructions, grabbing the feet of the unconscious refugee and dragging him towards Li's mother.

However, Li Shiyue picked up the refugee's kitchen knife that she had just thrown over. She walked towards Li's mother holding the knife stained with someone's blood.

When he got closer, Li Shiyue pointed a kitchen knife at Qin Tao behind Li's mother and said, "Qin Tao, one life is worth ten taels of silver."

Not only was Qin Tao stunned, even Li's mother herself was stunned.

"October, you."

Li Shiyue raised her eyes to signal Li's mother not to speak, and Li's mother cooperated and shut up.

Li Shiyue kept the knife in his hand and pointed it at Qin Tao: "Do you admit that I saved you just now?"

Without waiting for Qin Tao to speak, Li Shiyue continued, "You don't admit it? Do you think my price is too high? Isn't your life worth ten taels of silver?"

I don’t know if it was because Li Shiyue holding the refugee’s kitchen knife was a little scary, or because the blood splattered on Li Shiyue’s face in the chaos just now was really scary, Qin Tao just looked at Li Shiyue and didn’t dare to say a word "no".

“It seems that you also think your life is valuable.

When things are settled, I'll go with you to get the money. We agreed, don't forget it."

As for why Li Shiyue said that?

In fact, it was mainly for the task given by the system, because until now, Li Shiyue had not heard the ding-dong-ding sound from the system.

This means that the second novice mission - protecting the heroine Li Chunli - has not been completed.

Since the subconscious move of the knife just now has saved the heroine, then this matter must be completed now.

Moreover, even now, even if Li Shiyue wanted to drive Qin Tao's family away, it would be impossible.

Qin Tao is such a shameless person, I'm afraid she will have to rely on Li's mother forever.

In this way, in order to maximize the benefits, we can only let Qin Tao's family stay here for now.

However, the money that should be collected still needs to be collected.

Seeing Qin Tao nodded, Li Shiyue pulled Li's mother up and down to look at her: "Mother, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Before Li's mother could reply, someone came over and shouted, "Wangming? Wangming, how is your family? Is anyone injured?"

Li Shiyue looked back and saw several people holding torches walking towards him not far away. The one leading them seemed to be Li Shiyang.

Li Shiyue then looked around and it seemed that all the refugees had been killed or captured. The place where the Lijia Village people had camped was pitch black just now, but now many torches had been lit. At the same time, the sound of many people crying for their parents could be heard through the wind. It seemed that many people must have died in the Lijia Village tonight.

When Li Shiyue thought of this, Li Shiyang had already approached with a torch.

He used a torch to look around and found that the several shirtless bodies lying scattered on the ground were easy to identify. Then he held up the torch to look at the Li family and he had an idea of who they were.

Although Li Shiyang didn't show any big expression on his face, he was still a little surprised in his heart.

Because, he looked at all the people in the Li family, only Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian had blood on their faces, and both of them were holding knives in their hands;
In addition, there were a lot of bloodstains on Li Wangming and Shitou's clothes;
The others looked a little frightened, and it was clear at a glance that they did not participate in the fight. Judging from the way he walked along to inspect the casualties of each family, the girl from the Li family should not be underestimated!
As for Li Shiyang's father hiding behind Li's mother, and Qin Tao's family of three still standing next to the Li family's donkey cart, he didn't want to ask any more questions.

".That's it. This one is still alive, but was knocked unconscious."

Li Wangming stepped forward to explain the situation to Li Shiyang, and kicked the refugee who was thrown to the ground by the stone.

Li Shiyang squatted down and sniffed the refugee's breath. After confirming that he was still alive, he stood up.

"Many people died in the village. I came to see the casualties of each family. Let's go to my house to talk later." Li Shiyang raised his hand and pointed at the unconscious refugee on the ground. "Take this person with you when you go. See if you can ask him something."

After saying these words, Li Shiyang and the men behind him went to the camp behind the Li and Zheng families.

As soon as Li Shiyang left, Li Shiyue took Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang to another place. Li Shiyue didn't want Li's mother and Qin Tao to be so close.

Li Wangming went to support Grandmother Li. He looked at his elder brother's appearance. Although he didn't say anything, there was no need to say anything about the disdainful look on Li Wangming's face.

As a result, whenever Grandma Li moved, Father Li would follow.

"Brother, what are you doing?
Didn’t Shiyang already say that it’s safe now?
You didn't stand in front of A Niang to protect her just now, but now you are hiding behind her endlessly? "

"You are not, Wang Ming, I just..."

Li Wangming was not willing to listen to Li's father's explanation at all. He rolled his eyes at Li's father and carefully helped Li's grandmother to go to Li's mother.

After settling Li's mother and grandmother, Li Shiyue quickly lit a torch and searched the ground for the long knife that the refugee named Dazhu had dropped. It was a valuable item.

Regardless of the dirt, after finding the long knife, Li Shiyue handed it to Li Qiutian who was holding a torch to illuminate her: "Sister, you are strong, this knife is suitable for you. Later, we can find leather to make a belt for you to carry on your back, which will be more convenient."

Li Shiyue asked Shitou and Li Wangming to work together to place the three dead bodies of refugees side by side. Then, in front of everyone's shocked gaze, he touched the corpses directly.

When Li Qiutian saw Li Shiyue untying the belt of the refugee with a long knife, he was shocked: "Shiyue, what are you doing? That's a man!"

"Sister, this guy is shirtless, and you can see at a glance that he has nothing on his upper body.

But if he could have such a long sword, how could he not have gold and silver hidden on him?

Then, the gold and silver must be hidden in his lower body, right?
Sister, please hold it closer so we don’t miss it.”

Li Qiutian didn't know how to refute for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Li Shiyue was right. Gold and silver are good things and will always be useful in the future.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the gloves from my house. My mother uses them to clean pig intestines when she kills pigs at home. We are so dirty. Let's wear them and look for it."

Li Shiyue raised her hand and gave Li Qiutian a thumbs up. Although Li Qiutian didn't understand what this meant, seeing Li Shiyue's expression full of praise, she still understood that Li Shiyue was praising her.

Li's mother, who was sitting nearby, looked helpless. She wanted to say something, but when she thought about the appearance of those refugees just now, she shut her mouth.

"On this journey of escaping famine, staying alive is the most important thing. We can worry about other things later."
