Chapter 226: The Fool and the Fool
It was just a drizzle at first, and the boss thought he should just hold on for a bit as it was more important to get on with the journey right now. But as time went on, the rain got heavier and heavier.
An adult man like Jin Dou can still handle it.
Wen Ran is strong and healthy like a calf, so he can do it, but these little guys can't.
As the drizzle and breeze blew, my body became wet and soon I began to shiver like an autumn chicken.
"No," the boss said decisively, "If we continue like this, something bad will happen."
Wen Ran raised his hand silently, "Well, I know a cave where we can take shelter from the rain temporarily."
“Click~”
As soon as she finished speaking, the black muzzle of the gun was pressed against her forehead.
Wen Ran was numb. How could this old man be even crazier than her?
A disagreement.
Oh, that's not right.
What the hell, they're already at loggerheads before they even have a disagreement???
She was just making a sincere suggestion.
The boss found that the muzzle of the gun had a strong soothing effect on the handsome but stupid Niu Dalengzi in front of him.
As soon as the thing is placed on the head, the person immediately becomes obedient.
He smiled and lifted Wen Ran's chin with the muzzle of the gun, "Why aren't you talking?"
Wen Ran raised her head and looked at him timidly.
Seeing that Wen Ran didn't say anything, the man looked at her threateningly, "I'm asking you a question, why don't you answer?"
"I'm afraid you'll kill me."
"I won't hit you," the boss said, smiling like a psychopath, "just tell me honestly why you told me there was a cave nearby."
"Because I've been here before," Wen Ran opened his big watery eyes, looking extremely sincere, "It also rained, and I took shelter nearby."
"Shouldn't you hate us, the kind of people who take advantage of others? Why are you helping us?"
Wen Ran: “…”
Damn it, is this just a person grown out of suspicion?
Why do you doubt everything?
"I can't run away now. You are strong and healthy, so it's okay." Wen Ran decided to follow Niu Dalengzi's character and said what was in his heart honestly, "But children are different."
"Oh? Why is it different?"
"Being kidnapped is tragic enough. But compared to being kidnapped, being alive is better."
Wen Ran said honestly, "It's better to live a miserable life than to die. These two are both boys. Even if they are bought, they can be taken care of very well..."
After saying that, she looked at the unique little girl in the crowd.
Jin Dou said considerately, "Niu Da, don't worry. This girl and that boy are twins. If they are sold together, they will be worth more than two boys."
Wen Ran: “…”
Thank you so much for your popular science.
After that, Jin Dou grinned and said jokingly, "So, among so many people, you are the only one who loses money~
Are you happy? Are you surprised? "
Wen Ran thought to herself, I am so happy, damn it, if she gets the chance to fight back later, I will make you so happy that you won’t even be able to laugh.
"Then are you willing to pay the money and sell me to a good family?"
Everyone: “…”
Even though they knew that Wen Ran was a bit lacking in ideas, they were still speechless for a long time after hearing this question.
"Okay, let's stop talking about those useless things," the man put away his gun and said concisely, "It's okay for adults to get wet in the rain, but it would be a big loss if one of these children died of illness."
Even if they don't die of illness, traveling while sick will slow down their progress.
"Let's go," the man said to Wen Ran jokingly, "Lead the way, Comrade Niu Dalengzi."
Wen Ran: "...Okay."
This cave was discovered by Wen Ran when he was running around the mountains with a pack of wolves.
Very safe and dry.
They picked up the firewood in the cave and made a fire. Everyone sat around it and dried the clothes.
"Boss," Jin Dou looked at the blazing flames, "this isn't enough."
"Then go out and pick it up."
"OK."
Three minutes later, Wen Ran, who was untied, was kicked out by Jin Dou.
"Do your best," Jin Dou leaned against the edge of the cave and shook the gun in his hand, "I'll keep an eye on you."
Wen Ran: “…”
Just wait!!!
She is now very angry, very angry!!
The rain was not a downpour, it only wet the surface.
If you want to pick up firewood, just dig a little deeper and you will find dry firewood.
Even if it's half wet, that's okay. I can just put it by the fire to dry it.
The old chopper was also sent out. When Wen Ran finished collecting firewood, the old chopper came back with two rabbits and a pheasant.
"Boss, conditions are limited, so let's just make do with what we have now."
The eldest brother was already very satisfied and nodded, "Let's roast it and eat it."
"OK."
Wen Ran raised his hand, "Wait, don't you want to eat something hot on a rainy day?"
The man was amused, "Are the roast chicken and roast rabbit not hot enough?"
Wen Ran: "I mean, stir-fried rabbit and chicken stewed with mushrooms."
Everyone: "...Where can we get a pot in this desolate mountain?"
"I have some in my backpack," Wen Ran reminded caringly, "but it's covered by mushrooms."
Jin Dou was also a person who liked to watch the fun and didn't mind any big things, so he immediately turned the backpack upside down.
At the bottom, there was indeed an ordinary iron pot.
We have everything we need, so let’s just do it.
These two people live a very rough life. Even if they are given the pot, they will not clean it up. Wen Ran is forced to do it.
He picked up the iron pan and started stirring the wok.
The chicken stewed with mushrooms was only half cooked, but the aroma had already started to waft out.
The six grown men stared blankly.
God knows, they must be hungry after living in the open air all day.
Although they can hunt and eat anytime and anywhere, they don't know how to clean the prey, so they can only cook the meat, and the taste is hard to describe.
"Niu Dalengzi," Jin Dou murmured as he watched the chicken and mushroom stew bubbling in the pot, "Based on your cooking skills, I will definitely find you a good family in the future."
"Really?"
Wen Ran seemed very excited, "Thank you so much."
"You're welcome," Jin Dou said with a grin, "Then from now on, the meals on the way will be left to you!"
"no problem!"
The old man pulled the sturdy man beside him and whispered, "Jin Dou, this idiot, can only talk to Lengzi."
"...Keep your voice down, Jin Dou can hear you."
The old man turned his head and asked Jin Dou seriously, "We just tickled you. Did you hear it?"
Jin Dou: “…I heard it.”
"Look, he didn't get angry even after hearing it, so I said he was an idiot."
…
The steaming chicken stewed with mushrooms came out of the pot, and Wen Ran began to stir-fry the rabbit meat vigorously.
It’s just that the ingredients are incomplete, and at best I can only fry the rabbit meat a little bit, so that the oil will come out and it will be more fragrant.
Although these men may seem careless at times, they can be quite scary when they are alert.
The eldest was much more straightforward, "Take a bite first."
Wen Ran said cheerfully, "Is this the benefit of being a cook?"
She picked the largest piece of meat, chewed it in a few bites and swallowed it, and wanted to pick up another piece.
“Bang!”
Jin Dou took the pot away expressionlessly, "This is ours, you and those brats can eat rabbit meat."
