At this time, 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 is the leader of this team, and the guards and servants are all headed by him, but He couldn't help but consider what the guards said. After all, it was already getting late, and the night was really dangerous for people of all ages in their profession. He shouldn't let so many people take risks just because of his own willfulness.
For this reason, he had to bite the bullet and ask Shichu for permission to spend the night here.
Shichu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was flattering him, nodded coldly and said, "As long as you don't disturb me, it's none of my business where you want to camp for the night."
Hearing Shi Chu's words, Zhou Bang was immediately overjoyed. He didn't expect that Shi Chu was so easy to talk to and didn't object to them spending the night here because of his previous offense. So he immediately thanked Shi Chu again and again, and shed tears of gratitude.
In fact, Shichu just saw that he was aware of current affairs, so he didn't have to drive them away. After all, if they were really allowed to rush at this time, it would very likely put them in danger. Although Shichu was indifferent, he didn't care about human life. superior.
Zhou Bang's fat son was noisy for a while, but was finally suppressed by Zhou Bang mercilessly. He no longer dared to clamor for Shichu's roast mutton.
Even though Zhou Bang's guards and servants coveted Shi Chu's roasted sheep, they did not dare to come forward to beg for food. After all, Zhou Bang had gone to beg for food in person before, but Shi Chu had repulsed him.
However, the barbecue was so fragrant at the beginning. The rich aroma of barbecue was drifting everywhere with the breeze, making people want to take a few more breaths of air to satisfy their craving.
When they started cooking on the fire, the smell of roasted lamb became even more tempting. However, their own rations were so unpalatable that they had no choice but to smell the aroma in the air and eat without hesitation. It fills my stomach, but let’s not mention the taste.
When I cut off the pieces of meat with a knife and put them in my mouth, I seemed to be able to see the eyes of those people not far away staring directly at me, and hear the sound of them swallowing involuntarily...
Her expression didn't change, as if she didn't notice anything, and she was just enjoying the mutton that she had put a lot of effort into roasting.
"Dad, the baby is so hungry." The fat boy nestled in his mother's arms, holding a pancake in his hand, and said pitifully to Zhou Bang.
"What are you hungry for? Don't you have something to eat in your hand? Eat quickly when you are hungry." How could Zhou Bang not understand what his son meant? But he could only pretend he didn't understand.
"Dad, the kid wants to eat meat." The fat boy pouted and said directly.
"We don't have meat now. If you want to eat it, you have to wait until we get home." Zhou Bang said to his son with a hard heart.
"Can't we ask that person for some? I'll just have one or two pieces of meat..." The fat boy looked at Zhou Bang eagerly with expectant eyes.
"No, that person is very fierce." Zhou Bang refused.
The fat boy continued to make trouble for a while before giving up.
After Shichu filled his stomach, he put away the remaining half of the roasted lamb, then took care of the fire to make sure it could burn all night, and then got into his little broken carriage and went to sleep.
When Zhou Bang's people saw that she was resting, they did not dare to disturb her. After leaving the night watchman behind, they quickly packed up and began to fall asleep.
The next day, before Shichu woke up, he heard the sound of someone moving. It was obviously someone from Zhou Bang's side who had gotten up early.
After being woken up at the beginning, she did not go back to sleep. She followed the old horse's tracks to find a creek, washed her hands and pulled her horse back.
After heating up the remaining half of the roasted lamb from last night and eating it, Shichu rode away. As he was leaving, Zhou Bang's people seemed to be on their way. His fat son was about to get into the carriage. Shichu took a look, Suddenly, he felt like he had discovered something.
Zhou Bang looks ordinary, with average height and appearance, single eyelids, a flat nose bridge, and thick lips. However, his fat son, even though his face is chubby, can clearly be seen with deep double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and Thin lips.
The father and son look a little too different, don’t they? A little suspicion arose in her heart at the beginning, but she could not draw a conclusion rashly, so she looked at Zhou Bang's wife, the middle-aged woman holding the hand of her fat son.
This woman has a round face, shallow double eyelids, a nose bridge that is neither high nor low, and her lips are relatively thick... She does not look much like her son, but her ears are exactly the same as her son... Then it is obvious that this fat boy is her biological child, but not Zhou Bang's biological son...
Shi Chu took a deep breath. Unexpectedly, he discovered the couple's secret just by looking at it a few more times. He just didn't know whether Zhou Bang knew this secret, but he looked at the affectionate and loving look on the fat child. , I wouldn’t treat him like this if I wasn’t my biological son.
Shichu suppressed her eagerness to gossip. This was someone else's private matter and she couldn't interfere. She could only pretend not to know.
Since he couldn't gossip, Shichu hurriedly stayed away from them, so he whipped the horse a few times to make it gallop away.
Although at first I felt some sympathy for Zhou Bang who was cuckolding actively or passively, I couldn't tell him directly: Your son is not your son. Even if Zhou Bang knew the current affairs again, he would have to fight her to death. After all, he was not your son. Every man can face the truth bravely.
Far away from the land of right and wrong, Shi Chu drove the carriage to the next destination, hoping that Zhou Bang and her were not taking the same road, so that she wouldn't have to worry when she saw him.
However, things went against expectations. In the evening, they arrived at the only inn in a small town. Zhou Bang and his men also arrived here - staying in the same inn as Shi Chu. After all, this was the only inn in this small town.
"Little brother, what a coincidence, we meet here again." Zhou Bang greeted Shi Chu politely.
"Ah, yes, what a coincidence." She extended her hand to avoid hitting the smiling person, and replied with a dry smile. 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 Shichu.
The middle-aged woman hurriedly covered his mouth, gave Shi Chu a stiff smile in embarrassment, and said, "The kid is not sensible, I hope you can forgive me."
"It's okay, kid. Now that we're in this town, isn't it easy to eat meat?" Shichu said with a smile.
Zhou Bang said quickly: "Yes, you can eat meat now that you are in town. Son, daddy will let you eat as much meat as you want tonight!"
Shichu smiled at them and walked to the room he had reserved.
This time she did not cook by herself, but asked the inn to bring her some food, and finished the meal perfunctorily.
