After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi decided to ignore them. Men arguing was nothing compared to the aroma of food that fills the stomach. She simply avoided the crowd and floated towards the cellar.
I must say, it's quite easy to find. With so many guards standing at the entrance, it's impossible for it not to be easy to find.
Just as Luo Xi was about to finish off the several spatial blades, the cellar door opened from the inside, and several men walked out, each carrying a pile of things.
"Guard Liu, these are all the things we'll need for tonight's celebration. Do you want to check them?" the leading man said to a bandit dressed as a guard next to him.
Guard Liu walked over with an arrogant expression: "Of course, that's the rule."
He told everyone to put their things down and began to check them one by one.
Luo looked at his slow movements and the open cellar door, his eyes lighting up: a good opportunity!
She quickly cast a spatial blockade on herself, concealing her presence, and then swiftly avoided the crowd, slipping into the cellar.
"Huh~" At this moment, Guard Liu asked his companion with a puzzled look, "Did you feel something just now? It felt cool."
His companion's expression changed: "You, you're scaring me, it's so late at night."
"What are you thinking about?" Guard Liu punched him: "I was talking about people or stray cats or something."
“These are turbulent times, we must be careful.” He handed over a lantern: “How about this, you go in and check, and if there’s nothing wrong, we’ll close the door.”
"Alright, alright." The bandit reluctantly took the lantern and walked step by step toward the cellar. If you looked closely, you would see that his legs were shaking violently.
Luo Xi didn't hide; she just stood at the doorway, arms crossed, casually watching him.
But the next moment, this person's actions instantly scorched Rose to a crisp.
The bandit stood with his eyes closed, about five meters away from Luo Xi, pacing back and forth, and then shouted, "Guard Liu, I'm going to check the east side now... Hmm, nothing suspicious."
Then, with a loud "thump, thump, thump," he shouted again, "Guard Liu, I went to check the west side, but there was nothing there."
Without taking a single step inside, he went out and said, "I've looked carefully. There's not a single person, not even a mouse. Don't worry."
Even after the cellar door closed again, Rose was still reeling from his bizarre actions.
He's a real talent!
Five minutes later, Luo Xi finally managed to squeeze out two words: "Idiot! Moron!"
After saying that, she stopped thinking about it, took out a small night light from her spatial storage—the kind that had been modified by the mad scientist at the base—it was incredibly bright, and leisurely began to check the supplies in the cellar.
She had just checked; the cellar had two doors, and absolutely no light could get out.
But what she saw next surprised Rose again.
Inside the spacious cellar, large and small brown burlap sacks were stacked one on top of another, leaving only a few paths for people to walk through. The entire cellar was piled up so full that the end could not be seen.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you have so much stuff. No wonder you're so arrogant. Aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath?"
Just imagine, during a year of famine, everyone else was starving and skin and bones, but the people of Jiuqu Village were plump and healthy. How conspicuous would that be?
When Loshi opened the nearest bag, she saw small, pale yellow millet grains.
Not bad, this thing is quite expensive these days.
I walked over and opened another bag, which contained wheat that emitted a natural wheat aroma.
This is even better; she hasn't seen such primitive and natural wheat in a long time.
When you make them into soft steamed buns or fragrant meat buns, they'll be incredibly delicious.
There was also rice, soybeans, various kinds of cured meat, dried vegetables, quite a variety, I don't know where they got them from.
Loxi was overjoyed. These were all natural foods, without the nauseating taste that comes with viral infections, which was something she really missed.
Just then, my stomach, quite perceptive, started making a series of "gurgling" sounds.
Luo Xi raised her hand and patted it, then sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's not convenient to cook in the cellar. Otherwise, a meal of all-natural food would be so delicious."
She only complained briefly before humming a little tune as she quickly gathered the grain.
Millet, rice, and wheat—not a single bag was left out; soybeans, cured meat, and dried vegetables were all consumed without exception.
After the collection was finished, if it weren't for the bag marks on the ground, you would think this was a cellar that had been empty for a long time, the kind that would confuse even rats.
Meanwhile, in Luo Xi's space, there was an extra mountain of food. It was so satisfying to collect free resources from monsters. Anyway, the bandits were just robbing others, so Luo Xi didn't feel any guilt about taking it.
She was extremely satisfied: "Okay, even though I can't cook, I can still eat bread and water."
So, while thinking about the braised pork rice, Rose filled her stomach with bread.
"Now, we should go see if those bandits have finished arguing, and while we're at it, grab someone and ask them where the treasury is."
Since we're here, we should naturally plunder everything before we leave.
However, Loxi estimated that this question could only be asked of the two leaders, and others might not know the answer.
However, what Luo Xi didn't expect was that when she arrived at the square, the two groups of people were still arguing, and in fact, they were arguing even more enthusiastically than before.
"..."
I'm speechless!
"Forget it, let's hide and see what happens." Luo Xi floated to a patch of grass and sat down on the ground.
After thinking for a moment, he realized it wasn't quite right, so he took out a handful of sunflower seeds from his spatial storage and slowly cracked them open while glancing over there.
In the square, about two hundred people were clearly divided into two groups, led by a bearded man and a tall man, both of whom were holding weapons and looking indignant.
The bearded man's eyes widened like copper bells: "Zhao Youjin, don't forget, I'm the second-in-command. With the eldest brother dead, the position of the eldest brother should naturally be mine. Why do you disagree?"
Tall Zhao Youjin spoke in a nonchalant tone, saying things that were infuriating: "Shi Fang, with your stupid body that only grows big and doesn't grow smart, do you think you can be the leader? Don't make us laugh."
Shi Fang wasn't angry. He snorted and said, "It's better than your effeminate manner. What's the use of just having a brain?"
"Don't forget, we're robbers, you know what robbers are? Don't tell anyone that you'll have to sway your hips and charm them to steal our stuff."
"Hahaha—" The surrounding area burst into laughter instantly.
Zhao Youjin's face was like a color palette, turning red and green in turns.
The two of them arguing was quite interesting, and Luo Xi's eyes sparkled as she watched with even greater interest.
Over there, Shi Fang desperately suppressed his anger and maintained his last shred of rationality, saying, "Shi Fang, since neither of us is willing to submit to the other, how about this..."
He suggested, "Let's not fight over who's in charge. Let's each mind our own business and not interfere with each other, okay?"
Hmph, once it's all done, let's see how he subtly destroys this guy without him even realizing it.
