Chapter 145 Going to Yunliu Town to Pick Up Things
"My meat doesn't taste good, it's sour!" Lingling hurriedly defended herself before Shen Junshan could finish speaking.
It is a civet cat, and its meat is not only delicious but also highly nutritious.
Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow.
"Don't worry, I'm just suggesting it to you out of kindness. You'd better get your white fur trimmed, otherwise Ningbao will be heartbroken if something happens to you."
Although Lingling was very unwilling, she had no choice but to compromise in the end.
When it reappeared in front of Ningbao, it had become an inconspicuous dirty cat.
By the time the villagers from Shanglin Village emerged from the forest, most of the refugees on the road had already woken up.
Seeing so many people emerge from the woods, the scattered refugees all huddled together with their children and hid to the side.
However, several burly men kept a close eye on them, and as they left, a few of them began to discuss among themselves.
"Lin Er, when did that group of people enter the woods? I have no recollection of it at all."
Dongzi, standing next to him, spat out the dry grass he was holding in his mouth.
"Pah! Old Su, don't tell me you don't remember, I don't remember either. My wife said that a group of people peeked out at the edge of the woods just as dawn was breaking."
My wife got up to use the outhouse and saw very clearly that although the group of people's clothes were tattered, they were clean and tidy, and their complexions were rosy, so they didn't look like refugees at all.
The group of people only peeked out of the woods before retreating back in. A few men emerged from within shortly afterward.
The men looked menacing, each carrying a knife. They circled around outside, inquired about Yunliu Town, and then returned to the woods.
The group that came out this time was noticeably dirtier on their faces and bodies.
Old Su pondered for a moment and looked at Dongzi.
"Dongzi, do you mean that group of people just now have more food and live better than us?"
"Of course! Look how withered our old women are. But even though those people deliberately smeared their clothes, you can still tell that the women are plump and radiant, and the children are all chubby."
If we can…
"No!" Lin Er quickly interjected to stop him.
"Brother Dongzi, there are quite a few of them, conservatively estimated to be four or five hundred. We only have a few people, so we are definitely no match for them."
Dongzi glared at Lin Er with disdain.
"Lin Er, you're such a coward. So what if they outnumber us? We've taken down people who outnumber us before."
Didn't they all succeed? The woman you slept with the other day was dragged out from a group of six or seven hundred people.
You slept soundly, but the guy died before I even laid a hand on him.
Lin Er gave an awkward laugh, feeling a little embarrassed. He hadn't expected that the woman would fall asleep so easily that day; she was already dead after he'd only done a few things to her.
Although he had a wife, she was so thin and frail that she couldn't compare to the beautiful young women. Unfortunately, there weren't many beautiful young women on this journey of fleeing famine...
"Old Su, look, he's still savoring it!" Lin Er felt immediately resentful when he saw the food deep in thought, savoring it.
Old Su glared at Dongzi and Lin Er.
"Alright, the most important thing now is to live. She's just a woman, isn't she?"
"As long as we survive, we can have any kind of woman. Dongzi, you slept with a woman that day, didn't you? Didn't you... you know... with Lin Er's wife that very day?"
"Tch! He himself dislikes his wife; she's nowhere near as pretty as a young girl."
Old Su stood up and looked at the two of them.
"Alright, stop joking and hurry up and follow them. Although there are many of them, they will always act alone sometimes, such as when they go to the toilet. As long as we are patient, we will always find an opportunity."
After briefly explaining things to their families, the group hurriedly followed in the direction Shanglin Village had left.
To avoid looking too strange, Ning Bao didn't ride on Ling Ling's back, but instead rode on Chi Xiao's back with Mu Chengye.
Ning Bao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and she whispered to Mu Cheng'an, who was walking beside her.
"Brother, could you please go and tell the village chief not to let the villagers leave the group at will, not even to go to the outhouse. They must go in groups of five or more."
Mu Cheng'an glanced at Ning Bao's serious expression but didn't ask any further questions. He immediately ran quickly towards the village chief.
The village chief didn't delay; he didn't dare to shout loudly but instead whispered to each household in the crowd.
Since no one left the group, Dongzi, Lao Su, and Lin Er followed them all the way to the outskirts of Yunliu Town but still couldn't find an opportunity. Undeterred, they continued to stake out the area.
Ningbao looked at the town not far away and couldn't help but jump for joy.
"There are some good things in town, she's going to go pick them up!"
