Chapter 1368 The Master is in Love with the Bandit (8)
Shi Chu stuffed a date into his own mouth and another into the horse's mouth, and reminded the horse: "Remember to spit out the pit. I don't know how to do the Heimlich maneuver for horses."
The horse snorted at her, looked at her with contempt, then moved its mouth several times, and suddenly spat out a date pit very neatly. After spitting it out, it looked at Shi Chu provocatively, and did not forget to open its mouth to ask her for more dates.
At the beginning: ...
This horse has become a spirit, right?
"Okay, I know you will spit out the date pits. I'll give them to you. Eat as much as you want!" Shi Chu rolled his eyes as he fed the horse.
After feeding the animals, she hurried on her way again. This time, she did not stop in the village where the wedding was held, so she missed the accommodation and had to sleep outdoors that night.
But for Shi Chu, this has become a common occurrence, and sleeping in the wild is no big deal for her.
After finding a flat place, Shichu released the old horse to let it move freely. She then found a place to build a stove to solve her own dinner problem.
There were all kinds of food in her space, so she had no shortage of food. However, they were now in the wild, and it would be a waste if she didn't have some barbecue. So Shi Chu took out various seasonings and brushes, and prepared to roast a lamb.
The sheep had been slaughtered long ago, and at first you just needed to clean it and hang it on the grill. After the fire was lit, you could patiently turn it over and apply seasoning.
After one stick of incense, the smell of barbecued meat wafted out. Of course, it was far from ready to be eaten at this time, but the meat had just combined with the seasonings and was roasted to produce a fragrant aroma.
It is said that good wine needs no bush, and the aroma of meat needs no distance in the mountains and forests. As the aroma of the roasted lamb became stronger and stronger and drifted farther and farther, a group of uninvited guests arrived at Shichu.
The uninvited guests seemed to be a family going on a long journey, including old and young, servants and guards. The group of people stopped not far from Shi Chu and seemed to have no intention of leaving.
"Hey! Brother, can you give me some of your roasted lamb? I think you can't finish it by yourself..." A middle-aged man in his thirties came over, staring at the roasted lamb, and asked Shi Chu bluntly.
"No, I can't finish this meal, I can save it for the next meal." Shi Chu refused expressionlessly. She had finally roasted a lamb, how much time and seasoning did it take her? How could she give it to others?
The middle-aged man was rejected and immediately became unhappy. He shouted, "The next meal will not be fresh! I think you are too stingy. I don't want all of it, I just want half. I have an old mother and children. They have been eating dry food all the way and are already starving. Please be kind and give me some for their sake... Can you bear to let the old people and children watch you eat alone?"
Good fellow, he even learned moral kidnapping. Shi Chu sneered and said, "Why can't you be so reluctant? It's not my mother or my child."
"You! Are you really not willing to give it to me? If you want it, you are alone, but I have strong guards and servants. If a fight breaks out, who do you think will suffer?" Seeing that moral blackmail failed, the middle-aged man began to threaten Shi Chu, staring at him with a threatening look.
Shi Chu quickly pulled out the sword from behind his back, pointed it directly at the middle-aged man, and said, "Really? Why don't you ask me about this sword? I am alone, but you have elderly parents and young children. If we fight, who do you think will be more cautious? Who will be more reckless?"
When the middle-aged man heard her words, he was choked speechless and his face looked extremely ugly. He obviously realized that he was the one who needed to be more cautious, because even if he had guards, he also had weaknesses. It was different at Shi Chu. She was alone, and the barefoot were not afraid of those wearing shoes. If they really fought with their lives, she would not be the one who suffered.
Perhaps because he was really afraid that Shi Chu would fight him to the death, the middle-aged man swallowed his anger and apologized to Shi Chu with a stiff face: "I was blind and didn't recognize the great man. I hope you won't blame me for my recklessness and impulsiveness just now. I will leave now and won't bother you anymore."
Shi Chu snorted coldly and then put the sword back.
Seeing that she had no intention of pursuing the matter further, the middle-aged man hurried back to his team, wanting everyone to leave. However, his son obviously did not think so. He started crying and shouting, "I want to eat barbecue! I want to eat barbecue! Dad, why didn't you bring me barbecue?"
The crying was so loud that Shi Chu could not help but look over there. He saw a fat boy about seven or eight years old struggling in the arms of a middle-aged woman. The woman could hardly hold him and was sweating profusely as she kept coaxing him.
However, the fat boy refused to give up. The middle-aged man was furious and glared at him and scolded him: "What are you making a fuss about? We don't have any barbecue! Forget it, let's go!"
"No! I want to eat barbecue. I saw it. It's roasted lamb! Dad, please grab the roasted lamb for me..." The little fat boy was already rolling on the ground.
When Shi Chu heard what he said, he sneered. They were indeed a family, with a long history of learning. Just now, the middle-aged man wanted to take his roasted lamb by force, but his son even wanted to snatch it away.
"Husband, why don't you go and talk to that young man and ask us to buy his roasted lamb with money? It's no use for Yu'er to keep crying like this..." The middle-aged woman said to the middle-aged man in embarrassment.
The middle-aged man quickly glanced in Shi Chu's direction and lowered his voice and said, "That man is not a good person. He will kill people if he disagrees with you. He has a sword in his hand. Let's not provoke him. I wanted to ask him for some roasted lamb before, but he refused and looked at me covetously. There are old and young people in our group. We are the ones who will suffer if we go against him..."
"What should we do?" The middle-aged woman was anxious and worried. She kept glancing at Shi Chu from time to time, fearing that Shi Chu would really draw his sword to kill them. "Husband, should we leave here now? It's too dangerous to be too close to him."
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." said the middle-aged man. He had asked the convoy to stop here before because he wanted to take advantage of others. However, he didn't get any advantage and was threatened. Naturally, he wanted to escape from here in a hurry, so he quickly ordered people to set off again.
However, everyone had already stopped to set up camp. If they wanted to leave again, they would have to pack up again, which would waste a lot of time. Besides, it was already late and if they still had to go out, it would definitely be dark before they could find the next suitable place to camp.
It was dangerous out in the wilderness when it got dark. No one knew what kind of wild animals they might encounter. So when everyone heard the middle-aged man say he wanted to leave, they were naturally very reluctant and tried to persuade him to change his mind.
