PFC Chapter 107 Encountering Bandits
Chapter 107 Encountering Bandits
After everyone in the village finished their meal, the iron pot was turned off, and everyone, who had eaten and drunk their fill, curled up contentedly in their autumn beds.
Hou Xiaoge did not share a bed with her three mothers. Instead, he covered himself with a second-hand military coat that he had "bought" in the city some time ago, but which was actually confiscated from a bandit's lair.
After the snoring sounds were heard all around, Hou Xiaoge held up his military coat and slipped into the space.
"Young Master, you're back!" As soon as he entered the space, Ring Spirit Ling'er appeared in front of Hou Xiaoge.
This was the name Hou Xiaoge asked to change. He didn't like the name "master" as he felt it was a bit insulting.
"Ling'er, is there anything else to eat? I didn't have enough at night." Hou Xiaoge said while lying on the recliner made by Ling'er and eating the cut watermelon.
"Master, I just slaughtered a sheep and cooked the mutton at noon today. How about I cut some for you?" Ling'er, who was wearing a maid outfit, said with a smile.
“It’s great that the sheep can finally be eaten.
Ling'er, cut me two pounds of cold cuts, I want to eat with sauce, cut another half pound and take some mutton offal, I will make mutton soup steamed bun by myself." Hou Xiaoge put down the watermelon and jumped up.
"Okay, young master." Ling'er said and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Hou Xiaoge's space energy was enhanced, his appetite became much larger, equivalent to the appetite of three adults. He could not be full without eating meat.
When Ling'er went to the space warehouse to get the mutton, Hou Xiaoge also came to the kitchen specially prepared by Ling'er.
There is no need to light a fire on the stove. Ling'er directly modified a miniature ground fire mouth. When using it, you only need to move the stone on the fire mouth, and the size can be adjusted.
After Hou Xiaoge broke the pancake, he took out the spatula, took a spoonful of mutton soup and mutton fat from the space, then added some spiritual spring water and started cooking.
"Master, the mutton and mutton offal you requested are here! There are also chopped green onions and coriander."
"Put it on the table!"
Hou Xiaoge glanced at the meat, saw that there was no fat, and nodded with satisfaction.
After the mutton soup boiled, Hou Xiaoge poured in mutton fat and diced steamed buns and started cooking. After waiting for a minute, he added the mutton again and sprinkled it with the prepared chopped green onions and coriander.
"Tsk! The steaming mutton soup with steamed buns is out of the pot." Hou Xiaoge held back his saliva and poured the soup with steamed buns into the large bowl that he had prepared in advance.
"Master, you are so awesome. This steamed bun smells so delicious." Ling'er flattered him at the right time.
“Haha! It’s just so-so, third in the world, but it’s a pity you can’t eat it.” Hou Xiaoge happily walked out of the kitchen carrying a big bowl of mutton soup with steamed buns.
"It's okay. I'm happy as long as the young master enjoys the meal!" Ling'er said happily while flying in front of Hou Xiaoge's shoulder.
On the top of the mountain, Hou Xiaoge was sitting in front of a small table on the kang, while Ling'er was sitting on the edge of the table with her legs dangling.
On the table was a large bowl of steaming mutton soup with steamed buns, a large plate of cold mutton, two small dishes of pickled garlic and garlic shoots pickled by Hou Xiaoge himself, and finally a glass of freshly squeezed pomegranate juice.
Hou Xiaoge took a few big bites of steamed bun and drank some pomegranate wine, then looked at the lush crops at the foot of the mountain and the cattle and sheep running back and forth on the grass. He felt that life had never been so comfortable.
"Ling'er, why are there no sun, moon, or stars in this space, and no day or night? Otherwise, it would be even more beautiful." After dinner, Hou Xiaoge lay on a recliner and sighed while looking at the scenery below the mountain.
"Young Master, there are actually sun, moon and star stones in the space, but they lack energy and have not yet recovered. If there are another hundred meteorites like that, it should be enough." Ling'er looked back at Hou Xiaoge and said with a smile.
"These are meteorites! And each one is different. One hundred? I don't know when I will be able to collect them all!" Hou Xiaoge said with a depressed look on his face.
"Raw jade is fine too. We only need one million tons." Ling'er said briskly.
"Oh my god! One million tons? That's a really huge number." Hou Xiaoge felt dizzy when he heard it.
"Don't worry! Take your time. Anyway, your life span has exceeded the limit of mortals and is already 200 years.
Moreover, every time the Heavenly Immortal Ring is restored, you will be baptized by energy, and your life span will be increased by at least a hundred years. Just wait and see, there will always be a day when you have collected enough." Ling'er said nonchalantly.
Hou Xiaoge spoke to Ling'er as if she had given him a hundred years of life, and his casual look just made him look very impressive.
But there is no way, the spirit of the weapon itself is an immortal species, as long as the Heavenly Immortal Ring exists, Ling'er will never die.
After chatting with Ling'er for a while and checking and counting the supplies in the space, Hou Xiaoge, who was full and satisfied, began to feel sleepy.
When I woke up again, it was already five or six o'clock outside, and it was daybreak in half an hour.
After a simple wash, since Hou Xiaoge was still a child, the egg and milk process had to be arranged.
He simply ate five eggs, drank a pound and a half of goat's milk, and ate two roujiamo (Chinese steamed buns), which made him about 80% full. After finishing his breakfast, Hou Xiaoge teleported to a forest 200 meters away from the wheat field.
"Uncle, get up!"
"Oh! I drank too much soup last night and woke up because I had to pee. Heiwa, you got up so early too!" Hou Xiaoge pretended to walk into the camp with his pants held up and greeted the villagers who had already gotten up.
"Same, same!"
After returning to his own camp, Hou Xiaoge didn't sleep either. He started packing his luggage and pretended to fetch water with his family's bamboo tube.
"Let's go!"
"Come visit Caijia Village again when you have time!"
At around seven o'clock in the morning, the people of Nanjiagou packed their luggage and said goodbye to the enthusiastic people of Caijiacun.
After leaving the village, everyone in the team, young or old, regardless of gender, was in high spirits. This trip to Caijia Village was truly fruitful.
With no worries about food and drink, the villagers were in much better condition, and their pace became faster, constantly leaving other groups of refugees behind.
……
"'Dutch Egg' ahead, this road is blocked. If you want to pass, leave all your food and money behind." When the team arrived at the edge of Hua County, the road ahead was blocked by a large group of bandits.
When the bandits shouted, the refugees who were following the Nanjiagou team were frightened and scattered, running back the way they came.
"My dear heroes, we are just a group of poor refugees. We have no money or food. Please be magnanimous and let us pass!" Hou Yangmin looked at the many bandits in front of him and did not dare to fight them head-on, so he begged for mercy loudly.
"Bullshit, you killed more than a dozen wild boars, are you kidding me?" the bandit who was shouting cursed.
When Hou Yangmin and the villagers heard the bandit say this, their faces changed. It seemed that they were being plotted against.
"My dear hero, how is that possible! We are just a group of hungry and powerless refugees. How can we possibly beat a wild boar? The person who told you the news must be playing a trick on you!" Hou Yangmin said with an apologetic smile.
While Hou Yangmin was negotiating with the bandits, the men in the village also took out their weapons and ordered the women and children to retreat, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
"Damn it, do you think the thousands of people in Huayin are all melon seeds? The refugees we captured a few days ago said that they are just a bunch of "Dutch eggs" like you.
"Third Master, I'll just shoot you a few dozen times. If you don't hand over your things, don't blame me for not recognizing you with these more than 60 guns I brought." The man who shouted cursed arrogantly.
