Chapter 139: Quite Fresh

"Erxi said that there is a shortage of supplies in the village right now. How do you usually deal with this?"

Yuan Siyin sat down at the table, and Jin Cancan immediately poured tea for her in a flattering manner.

Sister Jin is sensitive to the cold, and she likes to drink tea as soon as she sits down, so we have to take good care of her.

"This is... no, is there even a question? Of course we should go down the mountain and rob it."

Before Fatty Wang could finish his sentence, Liu Mazi gave him several meaningful glances.

"It's alright, go ahead and speak."

It was my first time experiencing being a bandit, and it was quite a novel experience.

Since you're speaking from the perspective of a bandit, you shouldn't be rambling on about how you can rob someone, acting like a lunatic.

Yuan Siyin rested her head on her hand leisurely. The soft sunlight streaming in from outside gilded her hair with a light gold hue. Her slightly narrowed phoenix eyes sparkled with a delicate smile, making her look very beautiful.

At first, they didn't know that Yuan Siyin was a woman. They could only say that she looked a bit effeminate. But now that they knew, Fatty Wang and Pockmarked Liu were at a loss for words.

There isn't a girl as pretty as that in the village.

Finally, Liu Mazi spoke up, albeit somewhat hesitantly: "There are many people in the village now, and some are sick. They need rice and medicine, which will really cost a lot of money."

We're all asking around to see if any wealthy merchants are passing by. If we pull off a heist, it could support us for a good while."

"But we don't kill people; we'll let them go if you pay us."

After thinking for a moment, Liu Mazi added.

"Liu Mazi, you should be able to count, right?"

Yuan Siyin tapped her slender, fair fingers on the table, making a rhythmic "tap-tap" sound.

"To know...to recognize".

Upon hearing Yuan Siyin call his name, Liu Mazi nervously swallowed and immediately responded.

"Okay, go and take stock of the remaining food and herbs, and see how long they can last. Fatty Wang, take me for another walk around."

When Jin Cancan saw that Yuan Siyin hadn't called him, he immediately became upset and started shouting, "What about me? Shouldn't I also be assigned something important to do?"

Yuan Siyin chuckled lightly: "You don't need to do anything. Just not causing trouble is a huge help."

A single sentence may not cause much harm, but it is extremely insulting.

Jin Cancan pouted, surprisingly not making a fuss, but timidly asked, "Really?"

Yuan Siyin was ultimately soft-hearted, so she took him along and kept him by her side.

Otherwise, this little brat will really start questioning his existence, and she'll have to blame it all on him.

"Second Master, you can see anything you want, as long as you don't go to the back mountain."

As he spoke, Fatty Wang chuckled and led the way, rubbing his bald head.

Ever since he learned that the second-in-command was a woman, Fatty Wang not only lowered his voice, but also subconsciously toned down his vulgar language, for fear of frightening her.

However, it was clear that he had forgotten the scene where Yuan Siyin had beaten everyone to the ground and made them howl in pain.

Yuan Siyin yawned lightly, her words casual and seemingly offhand: "Show me what everyone usually does."

Unexpectedly, the first thing she asked was such a trivial matter. Although Wang Pangzi didn't expect it, he still hurriedly led her towards the farmland.

"Now is the time to plant taro, and everyone is busy in the fields."

The boss said we should just focus on farming and have enough to eat so we don't have to go out and fight for food.

If it weren't for this plague, we'd only come down the mountain once every two or three months.

As he spoke, Fatty Wang walked to the front of his plot of land, pointed to the soil he had just turned over, and said with great pride, "This soil will be ready to grow taro after it dries in the sun for another two days."
