Chapter 1369 The Master is in Love with the Bandit (9)
At this moment, Zhou Bang hated himself very much for wanting to stay and take advantage of others. Otherwise, he would not have to face such an embarrassing situation now. Although he was the head of this team and the guards and servants were headed by him, he could not ignore the guards' opinions. After all, it was already late. The night was really dangerous for people of their industry, both young and old. He should not have let so many people take risks because of his willfulness.
For this reason, he had to bite the bullet and ask Shi Chu for permission to spend the night here.
Shi Chu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was fawning on him, nodded coldly, and said, "As long as you don't bother me, it's none of my business where you want to camp for the night."
Hearing Shi Chu's words, Zhou Bang was immediately delighted. He didn't expect Shi Chu to be so easy to talk to. He didn't even object to them spending the night here because of his previous offense. So he immediately thanked Shi Chu again and again, with tears of gratitude.
In fact, Shi Chu did not insist on driving them away only because he saw that he was very sensible about the current situation. After all, if they were really asked to hurry on their way at this time, they would very likely be put in danger. Although Shi Chu was indifferent, he was not to the point of taking human lives lightly.
Zhou Bang's fat son made a fuss for a while, but was finally suppressed by Zhou Bang mercilessly. He never dared to clamor for Shi Chu's roast lamb again.
Even though Zhou Bang's guards and servants were very salivating over Shi Chu's roasted lamb, they did not dare to come forward to ask for food. After all, Zhou Bang had gone to ask for it personally before but was rebuffed by Shi Chu.
However, the barbecue at the beginning was so fragrant that the rich aroma of barbecue drifted everywhere with the breeze, making people want to breathe a few more breaths of air to satisfy their cravings.
When they started a fire to cook, the aroma of the roasted lamb became even more tempting, but their own rations were very bad, and they had no way to replace them. They could only smell the aroma in the air while eating, which filled their stomachs, but the taste was not good.
When Shi Chu used a knife to cut off a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, he seemed to be able to see the eyes of those people not far away staring at him, and hear the sound of them swallowing their saliva uncontrollably...
She remained expressionless, as if she hadn't noticed anything, and was just enjoying the lamb that she had spent so much effort to roast.
"Dad, I'm so hungry." The fat boy nestled in his mother's arms, holding a pancake in his hand, and said to Zhou Bang pitifully.
"Why are you hungry? Don't you have food in your hand? If you are hungry, eat it quickly." Zhou Bang didn't understand what his son meant, but he could only pretend that he didn't understand.
"Dad, I want to eat meat." The fat boy said directly with a pout.
"We don't have meat now. If you want to eat, you have to wait until we get home." Zhou Bang said to his son with a hard heart.
"Can't we go and ask that guy for some? I just want one, not two pieces of meat..." The fat boy looked at Zhou Bang with expectant eyes.
"No, that man is very fierce." Zhou Bang refused.
The fat boy continued to make trouble for a long time before he gave up.
After filling his stomach, Shi Chu put away the remaining half of the roasted lamb, then took care of the fire to make sure it would burn all night, and then got into his own broken little carriage to sleep.
Seeing that she was resting, Zhou Bang's people did not dare to disturb her. After leaving the people to keep watch, they quickly packed up and went to sleep.
The next day, Shi Chu heard the sound of people moving around before he woke up. It was obvious that people from Zhou Bang had gotten up early.
After being woken up, Shi Chu did not continue to sleep. She followed the old horse's tracks and found a stream. After washing, she pulled her horse back.
After heating up half a roasted lamb left over from last night and eating it, Shi Chu rode away on his horse. As he was leaving, Zhou Bang's men seemed to be on their way as well. His fat son was just about to get on the carriage. Shi Chu took a look and suddenly stopped, feeling as if he had discovered something.
Zhou Bang looks ordinary, with average height and features, single eyelids, a flat nose, and relatively thick lips. However, his fat son, even though he has a chubby face, it is obvious that he has deep double eyelids, a high nose, and thin lips.
Don't the father and son look too different? Shi Chu had some doubts in her mind, but she couldn't jump to conclusions, so she looked at Zhou Bang's wife, the middle-aged woman holding her fat son's hand.
This woman has a round face, shallow double eyelids, a medium nose bridge, and relatively thick lips... She doesn't look much like her son, but her ears are exactly the same as her son's... So it is obvious that this fat boy is her biological child, but not Zhou Bang's biological son...
Shi Chu took a deep breath. He didn't expect that he discovered the couple's secret just by looking at them a few more times. He didn't know whether Zhou Bang knew this secret or not. However, looking at how affectionate and loving he was towards the fat child, he would not treat him like this if he was not his own son.
Shi Chu suppressed her gossipy heart. This was someone else's private matter and she couldn't interfere. She could only pretend she didn't know.
Since he couldn't gossip, Shi Chu hurriedly moved away from them, and whipped the horse a few times, making it gallop away.
Although Shi Chu felt a little sympathy for Zhou Bang, who was not sure whether he was cuckolded actively or passively, she couldn't tell him directly: Your son is not your son. Even if Zhou Bang knew the current situation, he would have to fight with her. After all, not every man can face the facts bravely.
Away from the place of trouble, Shi Chu drove the carriage to her next destination, hoping that Zhou Bang and she would not take the same road, so that she would not have to feel distressed when she saw him.
However, things went against their wishes. When Shi Chu arrived at the only inn in the small town in the evening, Zhou Bang and his men also arrived here - they stayed in the same inn as Shi Chu, after all, there was only this one inn in the small town.
"Little brother, what a coincidence, we meet here again." Zhou Bang greeted Shi Chu politely.
"Ah, yes, what a coincidence." Don't hit a smiling person, Shi Chu replied with a dry laugh, and her eyes couldn't help but drift to the mother and son behind Zhou Bang.
"Eat meat!" the fat boy blurted out as soon as he saw Shi Chu.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly covered his mouth, gave Shi Chu an awkward smile, and said, "The child is ignorant, please forgive me."
"It's okay, kid. Now that we are in this town, it's not easy to eat meat," Shi Chu said with a smile.
Zhou Bang said quickly: "Yes, yes, now that we are in town, we can eat meat. Son, I will let you eat as much meat as you want tonight!"
Shi Chu smiled at them and walked towards the room he had booked.
This time she did not cook by herself, but asked the inn to send her some food and had a perfunctory meal.
