The next morning, the others all had bruises under their eyes, as none of them dared to sleep soundly.
However, the moment I woke up, the delicious aroma of grilled fish instantly dissipated my fatigue.
"Xiao Xie, where did this fish come from?"
Grandpa Xiao walked over, yawning.
Xie Lin flipped the fish over, tilting his chin toward the two fish.
The two were already sitting on the dry grass and eating, one grass stick each.
Bream doesn't have many bones; just remove the bones on the sides and eat it slowly.
"Shishi, Chou Chou, and I went to catch them. There's a stream over the woods, and there are lots of fish there."
Of course, the two of them were the ones actually catching the fish; he was just there to keep watch.
The two brought back four strings, each string containing twelve strands, for a total of forty-eight strands.
Including the guards, there were exactly twenty-four of them. The two guys had asked each other before they set off how many there were in total, two for each person.
The patriarch gave us the number 48. I don't know how those two guys who can't do math calculated it, but anyway, it wasn't a single digit more or less.
It was obvious without asking that the fish was brought up by that brat, but both of them were very clever. To avoid being noticed, they would even roll up their pants, a gesture that pleased the head of the household.
With Chou Chou around to keep an eye on Shi Shi, he felt much more at ease.
After catching enough fish for people to eat, they went to catch fish for snakes to eat, and brought them back to the forest for him to collect.
He really wanted to know how they counted the same 48 items.
Their actions gave him an idea: he planned to carve out a large fishpond in the space to raise fish, which would satisfy the two snakes and provide them with entertainment when they entered the space.
Occasionally fishing and grilling fish, this kind of simple yet enjoyable life is really great.
As expected, Xiao Kuagua came online again, praising her several times before going to get water to rinse her mouth. She didn't have much water with her, so she couldn't wash her face.
"Shishi, Chou Chou, I have a question for you. How did you count to 48?"
The patriarch finally asked the question he most wanted to know.
One can only count to three, and the other is smart, but doesn't seem to be good with numbers.
Ugly only said something silly and then stopped, letting Corpse explain.
Shishi pulled the large fishbone out of her mouth and began her ramblings.
"The corpse learned it from listening to human gossip."
The man said: "You damn bitch, I've already been kind enough by taking you along the way, why do you expect me to feed and drink you? If you want to fill your stomach, go find your own supplies."
"Look at yourself, you're a haggard old woman. I wouldn't even want to look at you naked and lying down again."
"Sanba said: I'm Sanba, so what are you? A pathetic bastard? I'm an old hag, and she's an eighteen-year-old flower, right?"
"You go weak at the knees when she says something coquettish. Twenty-four, oh twenty-four, you better watch out. Before she lays herself on you, she's laid herself on countless other people. Be careful that flower doesn't fall on you."
"Don't worry, I'll leave your team first thing tomorrow morning. It's the apocalypse, who needs a three-second man? Without this old hag, I hope you guys have a smooth supply-gathering trip."
"Later, when Shishi was looking for supplies, she ran into Sanba in a supermarket. Sanba arrived first, so Shishi hid, but she didn't know how to count, so she could only carry a little bit with her."
"Just as Shishi hid, Twenty-Four arrived, crying. He said, 'Wife, I was wrong, please forgive me.'"
"Sanba said: Oh, I'm a wife now? Aren't you Sanba?"
"Twenty-four said: If my wife is 'three eight', then I am a 'twenty-four filial' husband. Three eight equals twenty-four, a perfect match."
"He chuckled twice, and while packing the supplies, he shouted: 'Three times eight is twenty-four, three times eight is twenty-four, you son of a bitch, get the hell out of here.'"
"After they left, Shishi packed up supplies, three at a time. Three times eight is eight threes, and three times eight is twenty-four, which is eight threes equaling twenty-four. Shishi is very clever."
"Stinky Egg said two twenty-fours make forty-eight, which is two thirty-eights."
Head of the family: ...That was a very good analysis. Don't do it again next time.
After listening to such a long passage, he almost forgot the equation 3 x 8 = 24.
No wonder someone who can only count to three can count many threes; it turns out the teacher was here.
You brat, why do you listen to all sorts of gossip?
Fortunately, she couldn't understand much of it, otherwise her blank slate would have long since become a chaotic mess.
After eating two fish, Lu Fan drove into the city to find the relevant departments. After they had all finished breakfast, he returned with several public officials.
The group consisted of important figures. The visitors were trembling with fear. After inspecting the scene, they immediately began to deal with the situation, and were able to leave the area.
Unfortunately, there was no live interrogation and no indicative information could be found, so it could only be treated as a headless case.
Xie Lin thought to himself, "Those two guys are having a great time, why would they want to leave anyone alive?"
Would someone who has come from a chaotic era be merciful to bad people? Absolutely not.
They are naive.
But not stupid!
He had considered leaving two of them alive for interrogation, but when he thought about how bizarre the massacre was and how much he might say and make a mistake, he simply killed them all.
It doesn't matter which side they're from; they're just after China's stuff. If it happens once, it'll happen again. We can always find another opportunity later.
For him, no information was more important than the safety of his two little rascals.
Perhaps Zhou Heng's information was leaked, and the road ahead was not peaceful.
Of course, the others were unaware of this, as they had all been dealt with in advance by Shi Shi and Chou Chou.
The patriarch has also been practicing spatial skills along the way.
Perilous situations force him to unleash his potential, and his spatial coverage is expanding rapidly. It's believed that it won't be long before it rivals the area of a physical space.
Previously, he could enter and exit from the same place; now, within his coverage area, he can choose to exit from any location.
