After confirming that it was cooked, he declined, saying, "No need, half is enough for my family. Share the rest with the brothers, you haven't had meat in a long time!"
"We can replenish our supplies along the way, but I didn't pack too much beforehand, so I didn't share any with you!"
"I hope my brothers don't mind! Consider this roast pig a treat for them!"
Wu Ling waved his hand shyly upon hearing this!
"I don't mind! I don't mind! If they dare to mind, I'll break their legs!"
He had barely finished speaking when he realized he had been too harsh, so he quickly added, "No, what I meant was that they all know about your difficulties, so don't worry!"
Seeing his shy and flustered appearance, Lin Ru couldn't help but find it amusing! The contrast was just too great!
Seeing the clan leader looking at him with a smile, Wu Ling lowered his head even more shyly!
Lin Ru walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder!
"Alright, let's go back and eat!"
"This is enough for us! If we don't eat soon, it will get dark, and our rest time will be shortened. We also need to eat quickly so that the aroma doesn't spread and attract other refugees!"
Wu Ling, you know this is the way it is, so you didn't refuse any further and took the remaining half back!
Lin Ru looked at the half roasted pig and couldn't help but feel her mouth water. She hadn't had barbecue in a long time, and this tasted almost the same as barbecue!
The Bai family had never tasted anything like this before, and everyone couldn't wait to start eating!
Although the villagers of Shili Village were very envious, they did not feel jealousy!
They all thought that when they went hunting in the mountains in the future, they would bring back more game and roast it like the village chief and the others!
Only Tao Xiangya looked at the Bai family with a sinister gaze!
As Lin Ru listened to the system's announcement in her mind, the corners of her mouth curved slightly. She hadn't expected this little girl to be so disappointing; she had previously thought she was a formidable character!
However, if it weren't for the system, she wouldn't have noticed that there was a little girl in the corner who hated her to the core!
She tore off a piece of thigh meat from the top, then turned to look at Tao Xiangya with a smile, only to meet her vicious gaze that she couldn't take back in time!
Lin Ru looked at Tao Xiangya, whose face showed a hint of panic, and took a big bite of the meat in her hand, eating it with great enjoyment!
Although this meat isn't as tender as roast suckling pig, and you didn't roast it to a crispy skin, it's still a rare delicacy in this day and age!
After they had eaten the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it got completely dark. They buried the bones and the fire in the ground.
I'm getting ready to rest!
Lin Ru was ready to take action and deal with this person whose hatred towards her had exceeded 20,000!
But to everyone's surprise, less than an hour after they had rested, the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps came from outside the woods!
The sound startled the villagers awake, and some children were so frightened that they couldn't stop crying!
Lin Ru opened her eyes immediately and stood up with a swift movement. She quickly signaled to the child's parents to cover their mouths to stop them from crying!
He then took the knife and approached the edge of the woods!
The place they found to rest was in a very dense forest. About six or seven hundred meters below the forest was a long official road!
Looking up from the official road, all you can see are dense trees, but there is actually a small path leading inside, which is a spacious open space!
Lin Ru lay on top and looked down. The riders were all men, and each of them was burly and strong. Judging from the number of times they waved their whips, they were very anxious!
That's probably why we didn't hear the children crying in the woods!
Lin Ru breathed a slight sigh of relief as she watched them walk away.
But before she could fully recover from her anger, those people came back!
Their horses stopped near this hillside!
They pointed and gestured at the hillside where Lin Ru and the others were!
Lin Bai and his companions were terribly alarmed by the sight! They had a feeling that those people had discovered them!
Lin Qing panicked and tightened her grip on her sister's hand!
Lin Ru shook her head at him and made a shushing gesture!
Because she was listening to the people below!
"Boss! I think this place is great, perfect for an ambush!"
"Yeah! When we walked through here just now, I felt this place was great. The woods are very dense. Even if we hid a hundred or so brothers up here, they shouldn't be discovered!"
"Especially since it's nighttime, those soldiers probably won't pay much attention!"
"Yes, boss, I also think this place is great!"
"We originally planned to ambush them at Willow Bend ahead, but even though we rushed here, we were still a step too late!"
"It's all Zhang Tiedan's fault. He insisted on having a drink at noon and overslept. He slept until evening!"
The man named Zhang Tiedan retorted indignantly, "Gao Du! How can you blame me? I didn't force you to drink!"
That guy named Gao Du still wants to keep arguing!
They were stopped by the leader!
"Alright, alright, you two, stop arguing! You've been arguing all the way from inside the stronghold to outside!"
"The officers and soldiers will be here soon with that group of people!"
"We must quickly find a solution to rescue those people!"
"Or should we just watch them go and die?"
"Aren't there some brothers you know among them?"
"If you two keep arguing, I'm not saving you!"
Gao Du and the other man immediately shut their mouths!
The eldest brother carefully examined the opposite hillside!
It was as if they were confirming the feasibility of ambushing people on this hillside!
Lin Ru was getting a little nervous watching this!
It seems they encountered bandits ambushing government troops!
If we let those people come up here, another fierce battle is inevitable! It would be bad if we also attracted those government soldiers, because nowadays government soldiers are not much different from bandits!
And judging from their appearance, there must be several hundred of them!
These are just the vanguard. If we kill them all, the hundreds of men who come after them will be a real problem for them!
She just hoped those people wouldn't come up!
But things didn't go as planned. The boss looked at it carefully and nodded with satisfaction!
"Let's go here then. How come I never noticed such a great place before? This Willow Bend is so much better!"
"This slope isn't that steep! I'm not afraid of falling down it!"
"And there are bushes on the other side, so we can send some of our brothers to hide there!"
"Then you guys hurry up and check it out! What's the situation up there? How many people can be hidden up there!"
"The brothers behind us will be here soon!"
"We need to arrange the location before they arrive and then erase all traces!"
"We absolutely cannot let those officers and soldiers find out!"
Gao Du nodded to Zhang Tiedan and led two groups of men up the mountain from opposite sides.
This effectively blocked Lin Ru and the others' escape route!
