Chapter 1622: Earning Small Money Quietly

The owner of the farm obviously guessed what had happened and came hurriedly to look for Shili.

"My dear lady, hide quickly and don't let them find you!"

The master and Yu Mo had known each other before. Even when faced with such a dangerous situation, he did not think about keeping himself safe, but instead thought about protecting Shi Li.

The farmer dug a very hidden vegetable cellar in the backyard, but it could only accommodate one person.

After Shi Li went in, the farmer's master called the servant and the maid to cover it with a layer of firewood so that no one could see that there was a cellar underneath.

As for the maids and servants, they didn't need to hide. They just had to dress up a little and pretend to be the farmer's master's younger brothers and sisters.

Shi Li was squatting alone in the small vegetable cellar, surrounded by pitch-black darkness. Thinking of the bandits still searching outside, her heartbeat could not slow down for a moment, and her hands tightly clenched her sleeves.

How could she have imagined that after traveling through time and space and becoming a lady of a wealthy family, she would actually encounter such a dangerous thing?

From now on, I’d better stay in the city and never go out again.

As expected, the bandits searched the mountain for a while but couldn't find Shi Li. However, they were unwilling to let go of such a piece of fat meat, so they sent some people to find this small mountain village.

After all, within hundreds of miles, this is the only place where people could be hiding.

Most of the villagers were honest and obedient. When the bandits ordered them to open the door and search, no one dared to resist. They just stood obediently against the wall and dared not say a word.

Most of them were poor, and the bandits did not bother to rob their almost unlimited possessions. They simply searched through boxes and cabinets, and if they didn't find anyone suspicious, they would move on to the next house.

Fortunately, Yu Mo took them through a small path when they entered the village, so no one else in the village knew which house had someone hidden.

The only thing left was the family whose horses had been taken away, when the bandits pressed them to explain why there were no horses in the stable, they trembled and said that their horses had been taken away by someone.

The bandits suddenly felt something was wrong. They had originally planned to capture a few wealthy families and then extort money from each household without alerting the government.

But if someone reports it to the police, the matter will become a big deal.

"No matter what! Catch whoever you can! Find the person first!"

The bandits were extremely vicious and cruel. Even though they knew that they would alert the government, they had no intention of stopping and continued searching house by house. They soon found the farmer's house where Shi Li was staying.

The maid and the boy had done rough work before, and they said they were the farmer's brother and sister, which did not arouse suspicion at all. But the bandits still searched everywhere as they did in other people's homes.

One of them came to the backyard, and through the vegetable cellar, Shi Li could hear the footsteps getting closer and closer.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to breathe and simply held her breath.

Fortunately, the location of the vegetable cellar was indeed hidden, and it could not be seen at all after the firewood was covered on it. The bandits searched it but found nothing, so they had to leave in disappointment.

But they will continue to search in other houses in the village. Before leaving here completely, no one dares to let Shi Li come out first, so they can only let her continue to hide inside.

As the night grew deeper, Shi Li felt a little cold. She hugged her knees with her hands and sniffed twice silently.

She felt that she would probably have to stay in this cellar all night.

Although I might catch a cold tomorrow, it is better than being captured by those bandits.

It became quiet outside again, her heartbeat gradually returned to normal, and her eyelids drooped a little. She felt tired and sleepy.

But suddenly there was another burst of noise, which made Shi Li even more nervous.

Did the bandits discover something?

Or did they send more people here to look for her?

Shi Li didn't dare to think about the situation outside, and clenched her fists, trembling with anxiety.

I pricked up my ears and heard footsteps coming closer and closer from afar.

There was a sound of heavy objects being moved overhead, and then the lid of the vegetable cellar was lifted. Shi Li raised her head, her heart in her throat.

It was too dark in the vegetable cellar. She could only see a black head appearing above her, but she couldn't see the person clearly.

"Boss, it's okay."

A familiar young boy's voice came loudly, and Shi Li's heart finally settled down.

Yu Mo has come back with reinforcements!
