Chapter 99 Stealing Dry Rations
"Don't wander around here, I'll go check the foot of the mountain first..."
Wei Shuyu looked at Wu Qiqi: "Keep an eye on them."
"Big brother, I'll keep an eye on them." Choi Shin-ki patted his chest loudly.
*Smack*
Wei Shuyu smacked him on the head: "You'd better take care of yourself first."
After being repeatedly instructed several times, Wei Shuyu finally left.
They secretly crept to the foot of the mountain, where Fu Jiu's men indeed gathered together.
Wei Shuyu lay there quietly, waiting for the other person to leave.
However, before they could leave, another group of over a hundred people arrived.
They exchanged a few words and then began to walk up the mountain.
Holy crap.
Wei Shuyu was greatly alarmed.
It's already dark, what are you trying to do?
Without hesitation, Wei Shuyu quickly retreated back up the mountain.
"What?"
Upon hearing that another group of a hundred people had arrived, the group panicked.
"Let's hide first, they're going to search the mountain," Wei Shuyu said solemnly.
"Why..." Choi Shin-ki couldn't understand. "Aren't they looking for the Imperial Seal of the State?"
"The purpose of the Imperial Seal is merely to create chaos in the Tang Dynasty," Wu Qiqi said after a moment of contemplation. "And killing you few will still cause chaos in the Tang Dynasty."
Swish.
The expressions on their faces changed drastically.
The son of Qin Qiong, the son of Fang Xuanling, the son of Wei Zheng, and the son of Cui Yixuan.
Two of them were the eldest sons of the legitimate wife!
If Qi Qi were to be killed, the Tang Dynasty might not descend into chaos, but Chang'an would certainly not be at peace!
"What do we do now?" Fang Yi'ai asked.
"Don't worry, you'll be fine after a few days of hiding."
Wei Shuyu sighed deeply: "Since we haven't gone home all night, our families will definitely send people to look for us."
Hearing this, the group felt a little more at ease.
Based on his experience, Wei Shuyu found a secluded place to hide.
Moreover, as darkness fell, it became increasingly difficult for the other party to find them.
Wei Shuyu did consider breaking out to find reinforcements.
But after he left, these four little devils are very likely to perish on the mountain.
"Big pot, I'm hungry."
Just then, Cui Shenji rushed over to Wei Shuyu's side.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others also showed embarrassed expressions.
"..."
Wei Shuyu frowned.
Lighting a fire is not advisable, as it could very likely attract the enemy.
As for wild fruits and the like, that's not realistic either.
In ancient times, grains were the staple food, and any edible wild fruits on the mountains had long been picked clean.
"I'll go find something to eat..."
After wandering around the mountain for a while, Wei Shuyu quickly returned.
"Big pot, you found food so quickly?" Choi Shin-ki hurriedly stepped forward.
"Um."
Wei Shuyu took off the bundle made of clothes from behind him.
Choi Shin-ki excitedly opened it...
"Awoo..."
Choi Shin-ki looked at Wu Qiqi: "You pinched me again."
"Snake...snake..."
Wu Qiqi pointed at the snake and said tremblingly.
When the clothes were lifted, there were several wild dates, a snake, several snails, and a rabbit.
"What's wrong with snakes? I play with them all the time."
Choi Shin-ki wasn't afraid at all.
Fang Yi'ai and Qin Shandao were not particularly afraid.
In ancient times, food was scarce, so snakes were not only a delicacy but could also be used to make medicinal wine.
"But we can't light a fire, how are we supposed to eat?"
Choi Shin-ki's smug expression froze instantly, and he looked at Wei Shu-yu expectantly.
"Eat it raw!"
As Wei Shuyu finished speaking, the faces of the men turned deathly pale.
"Raw...raw?"
"What? Is that not allowed?"
The group of people were all pampered and spoiled, so they had no qualms about eating a roasted snake.
It can be eaten raw, but I really can't stand it.
The thought of snake meat mixed with blood, which I had to chew several times before swallowing, gave me goosebumps all over.
"Big...big pot, I lost a tooth, and my teeth aren't good."
"I...I'm allergic to raw meat."
"I have meat phobia."
Alright, what time is it, and you're still causing trouble?
After a moment of contemplation, Wei Shuyu finally realized what was happening...
Raw food is indeed not suitable for children.
Moreover, too many parasites could easily cause health problems.
"Never mind, I'll go look for it again."
Wei Shuyu was having a bit of a headache.
If there was no mercury in the tomb, he still had a way.
But now the tomb is filled with mercury fumes, and we can't get in...
Wei Shuyu left again.
Since we have no food ourselves, we have no choice but to steal!
With about a hundred people arriving together, they will definitely bring some dry food.
Upon reaching the foot of the mountain, Wei Shuyu's sharp pupils scanned the surroundings.
There were a dozen or so men gathered around a bonfire, chatting and joking.
"This mission must be completed as soon as possible; the higher-ups can't afford to delay any longer."
"Let's do our best. After killing them, we should also become fugitives."
"We'll be back soon!"
Wei Shuyu quietly approached and listened for a while.
It's mostly just nonsense.
That one sentence, "It won't be long," made Wei Shuyu's heart pound.
"Uncles, could you give me something to eat?"
After searching for a while, Wei Shuyu couldn't find any food, so he openly chose to expose himself.
Huh?
The group of people were all stunned.
Did you run away because you were starving after failing to find the person you were looking for?
"Of course."
The group slowly approached Wei Shuyu, revealing typical wicked uncle smiles.
Where?
Wei Shuyu blinked his innocent, big eyes.
"Here you go." One of the men pulled out a scallion pancake: "Want a big scallion pancake?"
"Just one? But we have five people," Wei Shuyu replied blankly.
Their eyes lit up.
We're just waiting to wipe you all out.
"Of course there are more."
The leading man waved his hand, and immediately one of his men brought over a package full of dry rations such as scallion pancakes.
"Where are your friends? You can invite them over for a meal," the other person continued, trying to entice them.
"No, you are bad people."
"If we were bad guys, we would have arrested you long ago. Why would we give you scallion biscuits?" the leader said with a smile.
Wei Shuyu's face showed a conflicted expression.
Seeing this, the leading man tossed a scallion pancake over.
Wei Shuyu picked it up and started eating it without any regard for appearances.
"Thank you, Uncle."
After saying that, Wei Shuyu turned and ran.
What?
They ran away?
"What are you all standing there for? Chase after them!" the leader roared.
Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gave chase.
Wei Shuyu darted into the bushes in a flash.
He had already planned his route before revealing himself.
He disappeared from their sight in no time.
Damn it!
The leader roared angrily, "Search!"
While they were searching in the grass, Wei Shuyu secretly went around to the campfire.
Is there only one person guarding it?
He drew his dagger, its cold gleam flashing across the blade.
The man guarding the provisions died instantly.
Wei Shuyu slung the dry rations over his shoulder, a smile playing on his lips.
A long-lost sense of satisfaction after completing a task.
bite!
"Master, your sweetheart is here! Do you want another lollipop today?"
"If the system detects that its owner is short of food, the thoughtful baby can kindly replace the lollipop with instant noodles for you."
Wei Shuyu's smile vanished abruptly...
"roll!"
system:"……"
"Wait, come back..."
System: "Yes, yes."
"If you won't trade the lollipop, I'll trade you a scallion pancake."
System: "This system is not a junk collector; this system is unique in heaven and earth, and omnipotent..."
"Can you recycle lollipop sticks, you omnipotent one?"
system:"……"
