Entering Jingtian Village, Jing Chang arranged for them to live in a dilapidated and vacant house at the edge of the village.
No one has lived there for who knows how many years. The yard is full of weeds, which are taller than people. Those dilapidated wooden houses were crumbling, with a few pieces of thatch missing from the roofs, and the sun shone directly into the houses.
Jing Cheng was very embarrassed. He was given a precious gift, but the elder arranged for him to live in an uninhabitable shabby house. After hesitating for a while, he said to Lan Xing: "I'll help you clean up the house."
By this time, Jing Chang had left with the others and gifts, leaving only two brothers, Jing Cheng and Jing Lie.
Their house is next door, so close. I thought it would be hard to leave someone alone after receiving a gift, so I wasn't in a hurry to leave for the time being.
Blue Star asked everyone to clear the weeds around the trees outside the broken house and tie up the cows and horses.
After listening to Jing Cheng's words, he said cheerfully: "Okay, we happen to have few manpower and it will get dark soon. It would be great to have your help."
Brothers Jing Cheng and Jing Lie worked very quickly, and the large open space in front of the broken house was quickly cleared.
But it's getting dark too, so the house can only be tidied up tomorrow.
Watching Lan Xing and the others take out the straw mat and oilcloth, and quickly set up the sticks, Gao Qiang also prepared the meal, and the aroma wafted far away.
Jing Cheng and Jing Lie watched everything silently, feeling greatly shocked.
They touched the oilcloth curiously and looked at the big iron pot over there and the knives in the hands of Lanxing and others. These are things that ordinary people don't have.
There are also some in the Iron Village, but they are very rare. How can they be like Blue Star and others, where everyone is equipped with one.
Such a big iron pot and sharp kitchen knife make people's eyes red with envy.
Lan Xing patted Jing Cheng on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Thank you two brothers for your help. The food is ready. Let's eat some together."
Without waiting for Jing Cheng to refuse, Lan Xing pulled him over and sat down at the temporarily supported dining table.
Jing Lie was different from Jing Cheng. The smile on Youchi's face could not be stopped, and he had no intention of refusing at all.
Gao Qiang brought up three large pots of boiled meat, sprinkled with just a little salt, and placed them in the middle of the table. He said with a naive smile: "The ingredients are limited, and we can only make one pot of meat and one pot of soup. Don't dislike it."
Jing Lie's eyes widened when he saw so many pots of meat, "Why do you dislike it? We usually don't get meat, but today we are in luck."
Jing Cheng still had some sense, so he smiled sheepishly and said, "Jing Lie is just like that, he speaks his mind straight, so don't worry about it."
"Jing Lie is like this, that's great. I like to deal with people like this." Lan Xing sat down next to Jing Cheng, "Don't be embarrassed and eat something quickly. You must be hungry after being busy for so long. "
As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of meat from the basin and placed it in the large bowl in front of Jingcheng.
After that, it was rare to hear the Jingcheng brothers speak.
Three large pots of meat and a large pot of soup were all eaten quickly.
Jing Lie touched his slightly bulging belly and said gratefully to Lan Xing and the others: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what it feels like to be full. It's so beautiful."
Normally at home, every meal has a limited amount, so how dare you eat with open stomach.
"It would be great if I could eat like this in the future."
Lan Xing laughed, "That's not easy. If you come to our place every day, you will definitely have enough to take care of."
"Seriously?" Jing Lie's eyes lit up and he looked at Lan Xing expectantly, "As long as you take care of the food, I can do whatever you ask me to do."
Lanxing: "No problem. Tomorrow we will be repairing the house and cutting wood. If you come to help, we will definitely take care of the food."
"Okay, I will definitely come tomorrow."
It was getting late, and Brother Jingcheng was going home.
Before leaving, Jing Cheng whispered to Lan Xing: "Be more alert at night and watch your cattle, horses, and those sacks."
There are so many people in the village, no one can guarantee what will happen at night.
Lanxing patted Jing Cheng gratefully, turned around and gave him a pheasant as a thank you gift, and finally let Jing Cheng take the pheasant away after some hard talking.
After arranging a night watch, everyone fell into sleep after a tiring day.
In the middle of the night, Lin Yan and Lan Yue suddenly opened their eyes, looked at each other, quietly walked out of the tent, and walked towards the big tree not far away.
Their cattle and horses were tied there, and in the dark, someone had the guts to steal them.
When they first arrived, they didn't want to cause trouble, but people came to visit them. Pretending not to know would only make people feel weak and easy to bully.
At this time, An Su and Jian Fang were keeping vigil. They also sensed something was wrong and followed Lin Yan and Lan Yue quietly.
The people who came to steal cattle and horses were quite courageous. You could hear their voices from more than ten meters away.
An Su thought to himself, these people are so brave. To be a thief, you have to act like a thief.
On the contrary, they were still picking and choosing, torn between horses and cows, not knowing which one to choose.
It seems that those cattle and horses are all in the bag and can be chosen at will.
Jian let go of the handle of the knife, veins popped up in her hand, and her anger rushed to the top of her head. She wished she could rush over and chop the thief to death.
But neither Lin Yan nor Lan Yue gave orders, so he could only endure it.
There were five people who came to steal, and they were bold and wanton under the cover of night.
The person who organized the event was Jing Wang. When he saw the sturdy cows and horses for the first time today, he was very excited.
When I got back, I found four friends. They waited until late at night and the village was quiet before sneaking over.
All Jing Wang wanted to do was steal a cow or a horse and kill it for meat.
But his dog friend Tian Ergou is not satisfied with this. Since he wants to do it, he will do something big.
There are five of them in total, so each of them must get at least one.
At this time, they could only think of delicious meat and nothing else. It was as if those cattle and horses could be disposed of at will.
As for the owners of the cows and horses, it didn't matter to Jing Wang and Tian Ergou at all.
Outsiders have to behave themselves when they arrive in their village. What will happen even if they are discovered.
Ida Village will never just watch outsiders bully the villagers, and will definitely unite after the incident.
They are by no means the only ones who are jealous of those cows and horses, and more people are still waiting and watching. As long as they take the lead, someone will help.
With this mentality, Jing Wang, Tian Ergou and five others were completely unburdened. At this time, looking at a group of sleeping cows and horses, they just wanted to pick the most satisfying one.
When others find out, it won't be their turn to choose.
"How many of you haven't chosen yet? Do you need help?"
A few people who were picking and choosing suddenly heard a laughing voice. When they were still girls, they were stunned for a moment.
Tian Ergou's mouth was faster than his brain, "I'll choose it right away." He took a fancy to the big black cow, which was full of tendon meat and would definitely taste delicious.
"Oh, which one do you like?" Lin Yan's smiling voice showed no trace of anger, more like the girl next door who was willing to help others.
"That." Tian Ergou pointed the torch in his hand at the big black cow. I feel happy, I finally made my choice and can eat the meat right away. Being so big, he can eat as much as he wants.
