"There are more stew pots for the night, right?" Ma Qiancheng said, "Uncle Wen made too much. I think these brothers didn't have enough to eat at night. You can lead them to eat something more."
This group of people who had surrendered from Li Laojiu were about to cry!
Why didn't they realize before that Lord Ma Qianchengma was so considerate? Gentle?
Are they not full? They didn't eat at all!
I've been hungry and salivating all day! Finally we can eat meat!
Ma Qiancheng's cronies led them to the cauldron.
Because there is a fire, the rice heats up very quickly.
The smell of meat soon penetrated their nostrils, and the stomachs of these people were growling more happily than the others.
"Quick, quick, hurry up! Just keep it warm. If it's too hot, you won't be able to eat it!" They held the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other. They wanted to grab the big spoon and scoop it into the bowl themselves.
Are they afraid of getting too hot?
They were afraid that the aroma of the meat would be too strong and attract more people to compete with them for the meat!
They have been starving for the whole day!
The person holding the spoon laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's enough to eat! It's late at night, don't eat too much, there's still meat for tomorrow morning!"
"Brothers Chen and Yu are so awesome! And they have to get up early every morning to do morning exercises! They are already good at martial arts and talented, and they are so diligent! Tsk, tsk, we are lucky to follow them!"
When the people who came over from Li Laojiu heard this, they nodded in a muffled voice and took big mouthfuls of rice, fearing that if they were too late, others would take away the meat in the pot...
Well! The smell of meat in their mouths and the satisfaction in their stomachs reminded them even more of how stupid they were to believe Li Laojiu in the first place! That’s why I have to stay and follow Li Laojiu!
…
After a night.
Li Laojiu stretched himself and came out of his small tent.
He yawned, rubbed his eyes...and suddenly felt something was wrong!
Why do there seem to be a lot of people missing from my camp?
"Come here!" Li Laojiu shouted, "Where have they gone? Oh...did they go hunting in the mountains?"
Yesterday, when Wen Yu and the others were eating meat, he seemed to hear a brother saying that they also wanted to hunt and stew meat...
"Back to Centurion, they..." The speaker hesitated and glanced towards Ma Qiancheng's camp.
Li Laojiu followed his gaze and suddenly froze, and his fists clenched involuntarily.
"What's going on? Why did they end up in the camp over there?"
Li Laojiu thought at first that they were going to beg for some meat to eat... He felt that these people were worthless! He was completely embarrassed.
But soon, he discovered that those people were working in the opposite camp—and had no intention of coming back.
"They... betrayed us?" Li Laojiu asked in disbelief.
"Centurion, this..."
The title Centurion sounded a bit ironic at this time.
More than half of his men escaped in the dead of night last night. Now, there are only a dozen people left under his command!
Centurion? Not even close!
Li Laojiu's fists clenched loudly, "You... remember this for me!"
He stared hard at those who betrayed him during the night, and squeezed out a sound from between his teeth.
He suddenly smiled sinisterly, "Call the remaining brothers and assemble!"
There were only about twenty people left, so the gathering went quickly.
Li Laojiu gathered with them and whispered, "Cheer up, no matter how many of them there are! But the women are all on our side. Let's keep these women in custody to make it easier for us to do business...Them? Haha." , so what if they eat well? Wait until we get out of the mountains and see what they do!"
Li Laojiu's words reminded everyone.
They nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will keep an eye on these women and we will never let them snatch them away!"
Li Laojiu let out a long breath, and his depressed chest seemed to feel much relieved.
He glanced at Ma Qiancheng from a distance... As soon as he left the forest, he and Ma Qiancheng parted ways!
When Li Laojiu looked towards the camp here, Maotu squatted on a tree branch and was also looking towards their camp.
Her bright eyes glowed like gems in the dim morning light. She was holding a carrot she picked out from somewhere in her hand and chewed it.
"Hey, Rabbit, what are you doing squatting in the tree? Come down." Yu'er looked up at Mao Rabbit and shouted.
The rabbit jumped down from the tall tree.
Her face was gloomy and she looked unhappy.
"Hey, who messed with you?" Yu'er asked.
Uotu narrowed his eyes, "Those women are so pitiful! Let's go and snatch them away!"
Wen Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Laojiu's camp.
"Yue'er said, we can get out of the mountains today or tomorrow morning at the earliest!" Mao Tu's eyes were slightly red, not sure whether it was because of anger or sadness, "I heard them say that when we get out of the mountains, we have to follow Ma Qiancheng parted ways, and they are going to take the women to deliver the goods."
Mao Tu suddenly grabbed Wen Yu's shoulders and said urgently, "Let's do it! There's no point in delaying it any longer!"
Wen Yu curled his lips and said, "You are a spiritual beast, and you can transform into another form due to your increased cultivation. After transforming, you come to the world to practice."
Uotu looked at him in confusion, "Why are you saying this all of a sudden? You want to say, I'm not a human being? Why do you care about other people's affairs?"
Wen Yu shook his head, "What I want to say is, if you take the initiative to attack people, even in a fight, if you accidentally kill someone, will it affect your practice?"
Uotu's face darkened, she pursed her lips and said nothing angrily.
"It seems you can?" Wen Yu said.
"I don't care about that anymore!" Maotu stamped his feet angrily.
"It's okay." Wen Jin stepped forward and whispered.
Mao Tu immediately looked at Wen Jin, "A Jin, do you have any idea?"
Wen Yu said, "Of course! My mother has already planned to ask Li Laojiu to take the initiative to send the girl over! I beg Ma Qiancheng to accept her!"
Mao Tu looked at Wen Yu and then at Wen Jin in disbelief. She tilted her head and said, "Really?"
"Let's set off -" Ma Qiancheng's people had already packed their bags.
Breakfast is simple. I braised the meat last night, sliced it this morning, put it in pancakes, and smeared it with the hot sauce stir-fried with a few spicy herbs last night. It is simple, quick and delicious. When you bite into it, the fragrance will linger on your lips and teeth, not to mention too much. So exciting!
On Li Laojiu's side, the remaining dozen or so people were only greedy... and regretful!
The brother who sneaked to Ma Qiancheng's place last night was so uninteresting!
If you want to leave, why don't you talk to them? Let’s all go together!
…
It was originally a team, but now it is divided into two groups.
The people in front walked quickly and with great dignity, talking and laughing along the way, without delaying their journey at all.
When you are tired after drinking, take a sip of the fruit tea that Uncle Wen made in the morning. Hey, it will quench your thirst and make you feel comfortable.
Some people couldn't help but mutter to themselves...why did they believe Li Laojiu's bewitchment in the first place? How could Uncle Wen and his family, who were so capable and always thinking about them, be mountain monsters? !
The group of people following behind were like defeated roosters, with their heads hanging down and their steps moving mechanically.
They looked back from time to time to look at the women following them...
These ten women are their final protection!
