Chapter 504: Isn’t this little lamb tender?
Xuanyuan Batian's eyes widened, and his heart pounded.
So, here comes the mission!
The old man driving the cart wanted to eat lamb!
Little lambs, little lambs. Oh, right, Badao loves to eat little lambs. He always carries two with him...
Oh no, he tricked the overbearing lamb here yesterday and sent it to the restaurant this morning, but it was confiscated by the guard!
Xuanyuan Batian's expression changed repeatedly before he turned and ran out.
Just then, he ran into Lu Xingchen, who had just returned.
Xuanyuan Batian was taken aback: "What are you doing going out so early?"
Lu Xingchen: "Parkour!"
Xuanyuan Batian: ? ?
He felt implicated.
Xuanyuan Batian didn't have time to think much before he stepped out the door and started running wildly.
Lu Xingchen sat in the yard, watching the old man driving the cart chopping firewood with his eyes closed.
After a moment, the old man driving the cart suddenly opened his eyes. He looked down at the piece of wood in his hand, paused for a moment, threw the wood away, and turned to go back to sleep.
"Old man..." Lu Xingchen stopped him, "Do you want a tender lamb?
The old man driving the cart quickly turned around, his eyes shining: "You have it? You really do! Hahaha, take it out, take it out, I'll tell you a shocking secret!"
Lu Xingchen waved his hand and released a lamb: "What do you think of this one?"
The old man rushing to catch the cart was slightly disappointed: "It's not the one I smelled... then there's no secret."
Lu Xingchen was getting anxious. Did this person only want to eat sheep?
The old man driving the cart hesitated for a moment, then patted the lamb: "It's quite tender, it should be good roasted. Well, this one will do!"
Lu Xingchen was overjoyed: "Grandpa, please wait a moment, we'll grill it for you now?"
The old man driving the cart nodded: "Okay!"
Lu Xingchen quickly called the head chef, Gao Dafu, down, as she didn't know how to cook this.
If we call Gao Dafu, we can also boost Ji Lao's friendship points together.
Gao Dafu and Gu Yanzhi both came. One made a fire and the other skinned the lamb. Gao Dafu marinated the lamb, put it on the fire, and started roasting it.
Once the baking started, everyone was less busy, and the three of them sat in the courtyard, chatting with Old Ji.
Naturally, the goal is to gather some information.
Nearly two hours later, Xuanyuan Batian returned from outside with a gloomy expression.
Seeing the lively scene in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment, then he saw the roasted lamb and smelled the rich aroma.
His expression changed: "Where did you get this?"
Gao Dafu glanced at him: "It's just a lamb, you can't get one from anywhere."
Xuanyuan Batian stood by, staring at the lamb, then looked at the peeled sheepskin, his expression becoming more and more ugly.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the little lamb was his own.
Just now, he rushed out, hoping to exchange one of the lambs for another.
But who knows where the two guards disappeared to.
He searched for over an hour and finally spotted the guard picking his teeth as he staggered towards him.
He hurried over, steeled his heart, took out 2,000 gold coins, handed them to the guards, and said, "Brothers, I need a lamb. Can you sell me one?"
Guard A's eyes lit up, and he immediately took the gold coin, picking his teeth: "A lamb? Great, it's right there at the village entrance, go get it."
Xuanyuan Batian was overjoyed and ran to the village entrance. However, he found only a torn sheepskin at the entrance and not even a shadow of the lamb.
He searched for a long time but couldn't find it, so he quickly went back to find the two guards.
After some more time, they finally found the guard drinking at the restaurant.
He quickly stepped forward: "Brothers, there are no lambs at the village entrance."
Guard A didn't even look at him: "How could there not be any? We just left it there."
Guard B glared at him and said, "Tell me, are you here to cause trouble?"
Xuanyuan Batian was helpless: "It's really gone."
Guard A sneered: "If it's gone, it's gone. Go find it yourself. We have no obligation to help you find your sheep."
Xuanyuan Batian was speechless.
If the lamb wasn't delivered, shouldn't the two guards return the money?
Besides, what if there have never been any lambs there?
Isn't this a scam?
He was really furious.
Since arriving in Frost Snow Village, he had been tolerant and forbearing, but even the two lowly guards had been extorting money from him. He didn't know how much they had taken from him.
I gave them premium yellow wine yesterday, and they were just calling me brother.
But after one night, they acted as if they didn't recognize them and returned to their original state.
So hateful!
