Just when Song Shiwei was about to nod and say that Shen Yan was indeed annoying, he heard quick footsteps behind him.

Shen Yan ran out excitedly, pointing at the cave: "Inside... there is an underground river."

Xie An and Shen Qianxue's eyes suddenly lit up, and they asked at the same time: "Really?"

Shen Yan nodded repeatedly: "Really, really, if you don't believe me, go in and see for yourself, the river is quite deep, and there is no trace of wild animals."

Xie An and Shen Qianxue suppressed their excitement, first greeted Song Shiwei, and then hurried into the cave.

Shen Yan just caught his breath and turned to meet Song Shiwei's half-smiley gaze. He felt awkward and smiled dryly: "Song Xiaodi, well... you are worthy of it. You can find such a hidden place. You are really capable."

Song Shiwei ignored his flattery, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he drew out his long sword and crossed it across his neck. His eyes were full of coldness, and he whispered in his ear coldly: "How long are you going to stare at me? Hmm? Have you had enough of living?"

After asking these three fatal questions, Shen Yan's Adam's apple rolled. He laughed dryly and was about to speak when he met Song Shiwei's murderous gaze and was frightened.

Realizing that he really wanted to kill him, Shen Yan's smile faded and he regained his composure in an instant: "I just think you're amazing, so I want to drink some soup while you eat the meat. I really don't have any other intentions."

Song Shiwei sneered: "Drink soup? Why do you think you can do that?"

Feeling the coldness of the sword against his neck, Shen Yan's eyes moved slightly: "I thought we were friends."

"Friend? I'm so sorry, I never make friends, and I hate you bothering me again and again. Now your good brother Xie An and your sister are not here, tell me if I kill you, will it be a permanent solution?"

Without waiting for Shen Yan to answer, Song Shiwei put away his sword neatly, squinted at him with a mocking expression: "Don't be so self-righteous, and don't act on your own. There has never been any friendship between us."

After saying that, Song Shiwei left.

Zhang Wu stood beside Song Shiwei the whole time and watched calmly. When he passed by Shen Yan, he looked at him deeply, and then followed Song Shiwei's footsteps with big strides.

After the two left, Shen Yan suddenly covered his chest. At that moment, he almost suffocated.

Xie An and Shen Qianxue came out of the cave with excitement on their faces, but the smiles on their faces disappeared instantly when they saw Shen Yan.

Shen Qianxue walked quickly forward and approached Shen Yan with a worried look on her face: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Xie An didn't say anything, but there was obvious questioning in his eyes.

Shen Yan glanced at the direction where Song Shiwei left, shook his head slightly, and forced a smile: "I'm fine, I'm just too excited."

"Are you really okay? But I see you don't look very well," Shen Qianxue looked around and turned to ask, "Huh? That Mr. Song is gone?"

"Well, it's time to go back. Let's go back too."

Seeing that Shen Yan looked better, Shen Qianxue smiled and nodded: "If everyone knew the situation here, they would definitely be very happy. I thought that the puddle was a dead end, but I didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope here. Now we can use the water properly."

"Since this place was discovered by Young Master Song and his men, they should be the ones to announce it. Don't be in a hurry to tell others after we go back. Let's see what Young Master Song does." Thinking of Song Shiwei's personality, Xie An felt that he came out this time just to find the underground river.

Shen Qianxue and Shen Yan nodded at the same time when they heard this.

Ben had followed that Young Master Song here, and it was also Young Master Song who discovered the underground river. None of the three of them were the type to take credit for themselves.

Here, Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu hurried back. Neither of them spoke along the way. Zhang Wu clearly felt that his master was in a bad mood, especially her murderous aura. Thinking of Shen Yan again, Zhang Wu couldn't help shaking his body and gave Shen Yan a thumbs up in his heart.

What a talent!

Even though the master is always smiling, it would be a big mistake to think that she is easy to talk to. Zhang Wu knows better than anyone that the master is inherently cold, and even the villagers of Dahe Village are neither close nor distant to her.

Zhang Wu has been following Song Shiwei for two or three months and has gained a general understanding of her personality.

The master is a person who hates trouble very much. She travels with the villagers because she doesn't want to encounter refugees and bandits on the road. Although she is not afraid of being attacked by those people, she can't avoid fighting.

Zhang Wu never thought that he was a talented person. Only diligence could make up for his shortcomings. If he wanted to stay with his master, he had to be a useful person. The gap between his skills and his master's was too big, so he could only work harder in his daily life. Even if he was in a hurry, he had to make his master comfortable.

When they arrived at the destination, Zhang Wu collected his complicated thoughts, understood Song Shiwei's meaning, walked towards Huang Changyuan, and told him in detail about the underground river in the cave.

Huang Changyuan's wrinkled eyes widened immediately, and the hand holding the spatula trembled slightly: "Really? There is really an underground river? That cave can really accommodate all of us?"

Zhang Wu smiled and nodded.

Huang Changyuan took two steps back and forth, then turned around and walked towards the leading officer.

Zhang Wu smiled when he saw this, then returned to the carriage and began to pack up the tent and other luggage.

Song Shiwei sat on the edge of the car, holding a piece of wild grass in his mouth: "What do you mean?"

"We should go. The village chief is already discussing it with the officials."

Song Shiwei nodded with a smile, jumped out of the car gracefully, clapped his hands and said, "Then wait."

The two did not have to wait too long. When Shen Yan and the other two came back, Huang Changyuan had already discussed with the leading officer and had gathered everyone together. They were talking about the underground river in the cave.

As expected, everyone unanimously decided to go to the cave. Compared to setting up tents in the open air, everyone preferred to rest in a cave that was shielded from the sunlight. What's more, there was an underground river. Comparing the two, they naturally chose the better one.

Afterwards, Huang Changyuan asked everyone to pack up. Song Shiwei directly asked Zhang Wu to find Huang Changyuan and lead the way for everyone, while he led the carriage and followed slowly behind.

Led by Zhang Wu, they walked in front with the villagers of Dahe Village. Song Shiwei and his apprentice Xu Shihe were in the middle, followed by the Shen and Xie families, and the officials at the end.

At the Shen family, Shen Yan glanced at Song Shiwei's back from time to time, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The gaze was too obvious, and Shen Qianxue was beside Shen Yan, so it was hard not to notice it. So she gently tugged at Shen Yan's sleeve and shook her head calmly.

Shen Yan smiled sadly and said softly: "I didn't want to provoke him, I just wondered what kind of person he was. I have never seen anyone like him."

"Brother, you are just curious about Mr. Song. After all, you don't really treat him as a brother, so it's no wonder that he doesn't treat you well," Shen Qianxue ignored Shen Yan's glaring eyes, "If someone approaches me with a purpose, I will also think it is a trouble, so brother, you are really annoying sometimes."

Shen Yan: ...

"I admit that I am just curious about him, but I don't have any bad intentions."

Shen Qianxue smiled and said, "Anyway, big brother, you should avoid provoking that Young Master Song in the future. You are no longer the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion. If you offend someone capable, no one can protect you."
