Chapter 565 Extra: Two Foodies Fight Over a Braised Pork Knuckle
"Hey, hey, where did you get this braised pork knuckle?" Zhao Chuan had only turned his head to watch Lin Luoxi and her group leave when he turned back and saw Wang Dafu gnawing on the pork knuckle without any regard for his image.
Looking at the bouncy, smooth, and flavorful braised pork knuckle, he swallowed hard, his mouth watering.
"This was given to me by the young lady!" Wang Dafu said shamelessly.
Actually, he saw Xie Leyao packing up braised meat, so he sat down opposite her, drooling and staring longingly at the braised meat she was packing.
Xie Leyao felt her scalp tingle from his gaze before she finally shared some of the packaged pork knuckle with Wang Dafu.
"Hey, don't eat anymore, give me some!" Zhao Chuan's stomach was whetted when he saw Wang Dafu eating so heartily.
"That's all!" Actually, he still had some in his bag, but he chose to keep such a delicious treat to himself.
"Then don't eat it." Upon hearing that there was none left, Zhao Chuan didn't care that the braised pork knuckle in Wang Dafu's hand had been eaten before. He snatched it away, opened his mouth, and ate the braised meat with the skin already gnawed off, leaving only the lean meat.
The other officials behind him, seeing Zhao Chuan like this, couldn't help but feel like vomiting.
The skin of the entire pork knuckle was gnawed off, and it was covered in saliva. It's astonishing that Lord Zhao could eat it all; he must be so hungry he'd eat anything.
To avoid disgusting themselves, they simply turned their heads away and refused to look at the two clowns.
"You, how could you be so disgusting? This is called indirect kissing, you know that?" Seeing his elbow being snatched away, Wang Dafu was incoherent.
"Tch, I don't even mind your drool, and you're complaining about me?"
"Look at you, your eyes are practically slits, and your belly is showing. Eat less, it's for your own good."
Zhao Dachuan looked indifferent, riding his horse far away from Wang Dafu.
Wang Dafu was truly disgusted by Zhao Chuan, that starving ghost, and dared not associate with him anymore.
Slow down the horses and fall behind the rest of the army. When no one is looking, quietly take out the food and eat it all by yourself.
Every time Zhao Chuan looked over, Wang Dafu immediately stopped chewing, afraid that the shameless Zhao Chuan would pry his mouth open.
Compared to the farce on Zhao Chuan and Wang Dafu's side, the atmosphere on Lin Luoxi's side was relaxed and pleasant.
As soon as they left the small town and passed through a scenic spot, Lin Luoxi immediately stopped to rest.
We had a picnic on the spot, stretched our muscles and bones, ate and drank our fill, and then found a place to rest.
"I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
Lying in the hammock, Lin Wenqian gazed at the afterglow of the setting sun, his face filled with nostalgia.
"Hehe... You're not the only one talking. We're all the same."
"The emperor really doesn't treat us like human beings. Each of us has to do three jobs. We're so busy every day that we don't even have time to rest. How can we have any free time?"
"Fortunately, we were able to come out for disaster relief this time because we argued our case and that's how we got this opportunity."
"Speaking of which, we have to thank Prime Minister Qin. If it weren't for his silver tongue, we really wouldn't have been able to come!"
Lin Wenqian, Lin Wenjin, and Yang Xiaofeng each lay in a hammock, enjoying themselves while also complaining about Xiao Jingchen's twisted mentality and the relationships between their colleagues.
Lin Luoxi and Xie Hanchuan exchanged a smile upon hearing the three's complaints, but remained silent.
They were farsighted enough not to value fame and fortune; otherwise, they would have been bound by them for life.
Seeing that the sky was fine and it shouldn't rain, and that it was autumn with pleasant weather, Lin Luoxi decided not to look for an inn to rest and simply rested where she was.
Within their activity area, they sprinkled insect repellent powder and animal repellent powder, and also hung up many insect repellent bags.
They took out their homemade tents and canopies, and together they set up several tents and went to sleep.
"Hehe rustling..."
Just as everyone was getting drowsy from the evening breeze, a rustling sound suddenly came from the woods.
The group, who had been squinting, instantly perked up, their eyes shining brightly in the darkness.
"It's been a long time since anyone has been so blind as to rush in front of me."
As Lin Luoxi heard the rustling sounds in the woods getting closer and closer, she felt a strange sense of nostalgia.
"Mother, let us do it!"
The quintuplets also crawled out of their tent, looking at Lin Luoxi with excited expressions.
"Yes, be careful. If they just want to steal something, just teach them a lesson. But if they have evil intentions, then don't hold back."
When dealing with bad people, Lin Luoxi is never a saint; she can't do what great people say—use love to influence them.
Reform them? Forget about it. Evil is ingrained in their bones, it comes from their genes. The only way to truly help innocent people is to send them back to the factory for a fresh start.
"Okay!" With Lin Luoxi's permission, the five children's eyes sparkled as they took their weapons and waited for the bad guys to come to them.
"Brother, this is it. These guys are definitely easy targets. We'll feed them well, dress them well, and take good care of them. Once we slaughter them, we'll definitely be able to survive this year."
Before anyone even got close, a menacing voice came from the woods.
"You've done a great service, kid. When we get back, I'll give you all eighty-one of my wives as your wives!" A selfish and gruff voice came from the woods.
"What eighty-one concubines? How can he be so capable?" Xie Zhili said with great disdain after hearing the conversation in the woods.
“Brother, it’s possible that his concubines were all respectable women who were taken to the mountains…” Xie Zhiyan thought for a moment, and this was the only possibility.
“Then these people deserve to die even more.” Upon hearing Xie Zhiyan’s words, Xie Zhiheng’s murderous aura instantly surged.
"Brother, there's a woman in that tent. She's incredibly beautiful, much more beautiful than any of the concubines in our mountain stronghold." That menacing voice came again, this time laced with lewdness.
"Brothers, give it your all! We're going to pull off a big heist today. That woman..."
"Heh heh heh..."
I didn't hear what was said after that, I only heard the sound of my throat being slit and the wind cutting through it.
"Big brother, big brother, what's wrong with you?" The lewd woman was listening to her brother's boastful words when this sudden turn of events caught her off guard.
"Father, didn't you say we were going to handle this? Why did you get involved?"
Hearing the sounds of panic coming from the woods, Xie Zhili looked speechlessly at Xie Hanchuan, who was pretending to be unaffected.
"I accidentally pulled my finger!" Damn it, how dare he covet his wife! If I don't kill him, am I supposed to keep him around for the New Year?
"You guys handle the rest, and while you're at it, head over to their hideout."
"If we find any treasures, everything is yours!" Lin Luoxi said with a smile as she saw Xie Zhili.
