Traveling through the busy farmland of a peasant girl

Chapter 401: Road robbery

After listening to Shen Li's singing, Su Ran's heart was filled with ripples.

The graceful melody and sincere lyrics were like a key, quietly opening a new door for his understanding of Shen Li.

At this moment, he truly touched the depths of her soul.

The beautiful girl in front of me is like the warm spring sun, exuding vigor and vitality all over her body.

She always has a positive spirit in her heart, which never goes out no matter what difficulties and obstacles she faces.

What is even more rare is that she is grateful and cherishes every bit of warmth and kindness in her life.

What moved Su Ran the most was her earnest hope for peace among the four countries.

In her ideal world, there would be no wars, no suffering, and people from all countries would be able to live and work in peace and prosperity.

It was a vision of love and hope, so pure and so moving.

Su Ran looked at Shen Li with a firm and ardent gaze. He secretly vowed in his heart that since he had seen through her wish, no matter how thorny the road was, he would clear it for her and devote everything to realize this beautiful vision.

Even if there are stormy waves ahead, he will never retreat. He will make the flowers of peace bloom in the land of Shikoku and live up to her sincerity.

Nangong Qi's mind is pure and simple. In his eyes, Shen Li is like a rare treasure buried deep in the world. Her every move is full of charm, and her every frown and smile can easily touch his heartstrings.

Every look and every word she said was like a spring breeze, gently brushing across his heart and making him completely fall in love with her.

In Nangong Qi's eyes, there was not a single imperfect part on Shen Li's body, and not a single part of her that didn't make his heart beat faster.

He didn't dwell on too many complicated considerations, he only knew that his eyes had long been firmly attracted by her, and his heart was completely tied to her.

Luo Lingchen also deeply understood the meaning behind Shen Li's singing.

At that moment, what surged in his heart was not only love for Shen Li, but also a resonance deep in his soul.

He has been silently fighting for the belief in peace in his heart all along, and at this moment, he is pleasantly surprised to find that his beloved girl has the same ideals and pursuits as him.

This feeling of being in tune with each other and sharing the same ideals made him feel that there was nothing more beautiful in the world.

He knew very well that he was no longer alone in the long journey of pursuing peace. With Shen Li by his side, he had endless strength and courage, and was full of confidence in the future. It also strengthened his determination to fight to the end for this common ideal.

Shen Li opened her voice, her melodious voice flowing like a spring in the forest, passing through everyone's ears. After the song, her eyebrows curved, a smile on her lips, and she asked crisply, "How is it? After listening to my song, did everyone feel a little better?"

Su Ran's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile as warm as spring breeze. She said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, Li'er. Your singing is like the sound of nature. After listening to it, all the haze in my heart has been swept away."

Nangong Qi stared at Shen Li with a fiery gaze, his eyes full of expectation, and asked: "Ali, in the future of this long journey, are you willing to sing for me... for all of us?"

Shen Li had a cheerful personality and agreed without hesitation: "Okay! Anyway, the journey is long and everyone is bored. As long as you are willing to listen, I will talk anytime."

Luo Lingchen stood by, a gentle smile on his face, and reminded him, "The chicken soup is simmering in the pot. It will be ready in a while, little birthday boy! You've been busy for so long, why don't you take a break first?"

Shen Li was in high spirits. She waved her hands and said in a clear and loud voice, "I'm not tired! I was just planning to sing a few folk songs. Think about it, there are mountains and forests all around here. Singing folk songs here is a very suitable atmosphere!"

After that, she cleared her throat, and the melodious singing voice sounded again: "Sing folk songs, hey hey hey! This side sings and the other side joins in, that side joins in..."

The singing echoed slowly in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, a group of people rushed out from the side of the forest.

The leader laughed at the top of his lungs, "Brother, look here! There's a beautiful girl whose singing voice is like heavenly music. Let's take her back and sing for you, brother! Hahaha!"

As soon as he said this, the big men following him also burst into laughter, and the laughter was particularly harsh in the mountains and forests.

On this side, Su Ran, Luo Lingchen, Nangong Qi, Chu Qiu and Fusheng saw the situation and reacted quickly. They immediately picked up the weapons they carried with them and stood ready for battle.

Shen Li frowned slightly and looked at the group of uninvited guests with sharp eyes.

Although their clothes were worn out, the patches were patched with fine and neat stitches, and it was obvious that they were made by careful hands.

From this, it can be inferred that they were in an area where women lived. However, how could such dedicated menders become robbers? What were their true identities? There must be a hidden story behind this.

Shen Li suppressed her inner doubts, looked calm, and asked, "Who are you? What do you want to do by running here?"

A burly man, known as "Big Brother," stepped forward and said calmly, "We just want to take some property and have no intention of hurting anyone. As long as you cooperate, we promise we won't make things difficult for you."

Nangong Qi was furious when he heard this and shouted, "Stop pretending! Just say you want to rob us, don't beat around the bush! Do you think we're afraid of you?"

Luo Lingchen frowned, his face filled with confusion. He asked, "Don't you have any land to cultivate? How did you get forced to resort to robbery?"

The first man who had shouted furiously was so angry his face flushed red when he heard this. He cursed loudly, "Damn it! Are you out of your mind? If there was land, who would want to do this head-breaking business? Our land has been seized by those greedy and corrupt officials! If you don't come out to rob, are you just going to starve to death at home?"
