"Is there a woman named Hongyue living in this household?" Wu Xiong asked.
"Yes." The village chief nodded.
A few years ago, he might have been able to put up a fight with the person in front of him, but he's too old and can't fight anymore.
Moreover, even the polar bear was defeated by him, so he had no chance of winning.
"That woman named Hongyue does indeed live in this place."
Wu Xiong said, grinding his teeth.
"Wu Xiong, look, isn't this a red pepper seedling?"
"It seems so." Looking at the seedlings that they had destroyed and scattered all over the ground, Wu Xiong's expression was somewhat stiff.
The eldest brother showed them, and they did indeed look somewhat similar to the things in front of them.
If it really was a red pepper seedling, he could already imagine how his boss would scold him.
Why is there no red pepper on the red bell pepper?
If he had seen that these were all red peppers, he definitely wouldn't have pulled them off.
"The boss said that this is the season when red peppers are ripe, but why are there no red peppers on this?"
The speaker was called Lin Hu, whose animal form was a fox, and he was the most intelligent person in their group.
"Could it be one of those people from before?"
As if suddenly remembering something, Lin Hu suddenly spoke up.
"How so?"
“Those people seemed a bit nervous when they saw us, and they wouldn’t choose a house like this if they were just passing by and stopping for a rest.”
The Ning family's courtyard was very large.
It was obvious that the owners were not home; they had to damage the house to get in.
Why didn't you say so then?
"I just realized that too," Lin Hu said regretfully, tapping his head.
I didn't take those people seriously at all before.
"Then let's go after them immediately and bring back what we can." Wu Xiong immediately prepared to call his men to leave.
"Wu Xiong, don't be impulsive. If we leave now, we can catch up with them, but what about here?"
"What do you mean? You'll come back here after we get our red peppers back?"
"Do you think this family are idiots? The house is damaged like this. It's obvious someone's causing trouble, and you can tell the troublemaker is quite strong. Do you think they'd still dare to live here in this condition?"
Over the years, almost no red peppers have been exported, which shows that they do not want to trade red peppers.
If they hadn't foreseen this place from their leader's dream, they wouldn't have been able to find it.
This village is located on the border between the Beastman Continent and the Forgotten River Continent, which is extremely remote.
If they escape this time, who knows where they'll go.
The safest way is to catch Jiang Hongyue here.
"As long as we can catch the Red Moon, we'll have a continuous supply of red peppers, so why bother with such a small amount?"
“That makes sense,” Wu Xiong nodded.
What is a red bell pepper?
The villagers looked at each other in bewilderment.
How could they not know that the Ning family had red peppers?
Judging from how much they're fighting over it, it's obviously something good.
But Ning Hong hid this thing so secretly that she wouldn't tell the villagers.
"What is a red pepper?" one of the villagers asked in surprise.
"You guys don't even know what a red pepper is?"
"The Ning family is really too stingy. They hid such a good thing from you and didn't let you know about it?" Lin Hu sneered.
"Village chief, do you know what a red pepper is?"
"I don't know," the village chief said through gritted teeth.
Seeing the village chief's angry expression, Lin Hu chuckled again, "These red peppers can regulate the energy within our orc bodies. With them, our strength can grow even faster."
What? There's such a thing?
Damn Ning Hongze, damn Ning Mao, how could they hide it so well?
Gray Wolf and Deer exchanged a thoughtful glance.
These people probably still have some red peppers at home.
When he learned that Ning Hongze's food contained energy, he asked Yinglu to exchange meat for it every few days. Later, Yinglu saw that their vegetables were growing well.
Ning Hong let her off the hook a bit, and only after she came back and ate the food was she able to appreciate its benefits.
After that, I often went there to eat different things.
It has to be said that this was largely thanks to Gray Wolf's past kindness as a neighbor who had helped them out a little; otherwise, the two Ning boys would probably have kept it a secret. However, their claim that the Ning family's vegetables were made by Red Moon doesn't seem to be true. Before Red Moon arrived, the food cooked by the eldest Ning boy already contained energy.
The polar bear also knew about this.
His old injury was healed by something Hongze gave him. Although Hongze did not ask him to keep it a secret, he still kept it hidden.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Lin Hu curled his lips slightly, thinking, "A bunch of idiots."
He had previously thought that the polar bear was popular in the village because he saw that the polar bear was willing to stand up for the family, but now it seems that he is not so popular.
This way, they wouldn't have to worry about facing public outrage after committing murder.
"What's going on? Everyone's gathered at my door."
Jin Hu's voice came from outside.
"Yes, there are so many people, we don't have anything to offer you."
Ning Hong was about to push them away when she saw Ying Lu suddenly run towards them.
"You little rascal, you'd rather tell outsiders than us about such a good thing as red peppers. It's a waste that my husband brings you food every day. Now look what's happened, outsiders came and smashed up your house, and that's how we found out. Do you think the polar bear will protect you? The polar bear can't even beat them."
Yinglu winked at Ning Hongze while cursing.
Ning Hong was startled.
Why is someone else here?
Hongyue arrived at their home three years early.
According to the plot, none of these people should know about Red Pepper, but...
Just a few days ago, several groups of people had already come to their house.
Of course, they're all buried deep in the abyss of hell now.
But now, someone else has come.
"Run! What are you spacing out for?" Yinglu nudged Ning Hong when he didn't react.
"You wretch, someone tipped you off."
Someone in the village shouted.
Yinglu's face turned pale instantly.
But his gaze became even more determined.
Over the past three years, they've eaten so many good things from others.
Orcs can be stingy and vain, but she would never betray her fellow orcs like this one.
"Aunt Ying, thank you, but now that things have come to this, I can't run away."
The fact that these people are appearing one after another is enough to show that something is completely wrong with this world.
The system must have known about this beforehand, which is why it gave him the gene serum.
Three years ago, Hongyue would have simply handed her over, but now that she and Ningmao have a deep bond, he can't break them up.
Fine, let these people test Jin Hu and Ning Mao's skills.
