PNB Chapter 148: The Sick Child
Chapter 148: The Sick Child
"Then let's take a break and have something hot to drink. We'll set off soon." As he said this, Bai Tao yawned again.
If I had known, I would have watched two fewer episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf yesterday.
Bai Duoxi arrived early and had already set up a few simple stoves with his men. They boiled some water and made ginger soup. Now they would distribute the hot ginger soup to the villagers.
"Auntie, you should also drink some ginger soup. I added brown sugar."
"Hmm." Bai Tao sniffed, took the soup bowl, gulped down most of it, wiped the corners of her mouth, handed the bowl over, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with having mutton offal soup for lunch?"
"No problem!" Bai Duoxi responded without thinking.
Not to mention mutton offal soup, if my aunt wants to eat it, he will prepare a whole roasted lamb.
Just as Bai Duoxi was about to finish his thought, Bai Tao said, "Let's roast a whole lamb tonight. We haven't had it for a long time."
It doesn’t matter if Wolf doesn’t eat the sheep, she eats it!
Bai Duoxi's heart tightened, and she said quickly, "Yes, aunt."
Next time, he'd better not think about it in front of me, lest I think he's greedy.
Most of the bandits on the other side of the river retreated into their mountain strongholds as soon as they saw the Baijiabao caravan crossing the river on ice. If I can't afford to provoke them, can I not hide from them?
That scene stunned those who had run away and hidden when they heard that bandits were coming.
Yang Song kicked a bandit away and glanced at the person who was shouting. The expression on his face could not be described in words.
A group of bandits who treated that piece of land as their own territory looked at the row of horse-drawn carriages and carts with disdainful eyes.
As soon as I finished speaking, the people in Taohua Village became even crazier.
After someone shouted at Taohua Village, the people inside realized what was going on. For a moment, they were in a panic and looked for places to hide while holding their belongings.
At that time, the people of Taohua Village took advantage of the chaos and used bows, crossbows, knives, sticks, whatever was available.
If I kill ten bandits, I won’t have seventy taels of silver left.
"Look at your Foshan, there are shadow feet."
"The mutton offal soup is overcooked. It will taste good if it's overcooked. Come on, little one. I'm still hungry."
"I don't have the ability to rob you, so why are you running?"
Bai Xiaoshan also heard the shouting. I turned my head to look at Bai Tao and gave a guilty smile.
The young and middle-aged were at the back, the old and the children were at the front, the first batch of bows and crossbows were shot, followed by the seventh batch.
"You come as you please, and leave as you please. Who does he think you are?"
There was also Qinxin grass on the other side of the river. As soon as they saw whether the Baijiabao caravan had set off immediately, no one came to inquire.
"Brothers, the fat sheep is right behind you. Such a small amount of food has been delivered to your door. Can you let it go?"
It took some time to cross the ice and river, so we only walked about ten miles in the afternoon.
"Take this stick from me, Old Sun."
"Monkey steals peach!"
Besides the roars of the bandits and the howlings of ghosts and wolves, there were also excited shouts from time to time.
The people of Taohua Village explored it carefully, but it was still an unfamiliar terrain for the bandits living outside.
"You have the Four Yin Bone Claw!!!"
"Look at your dragon tail..."
"..."
Knowing that the caravan was going to hurry on, those people felt it was a pity, but they also thought it was a bad thing to hurry on. They had to go all the way because they were afraid that there would be opportunities to work along the way.
"Xiaopeng spreads his wings!!"
"Ah, yes. We have been delayed for a long time. We must hurry." Bai Xiaoshan once said that after a while, the heart of the Qinxin grass can be found outside its branches.
When they heard that there were no horses, no one rushed out immediately, and then they pulled two trip ropes at the bad place.
Yes, yes, the people from Bai Duoxi’s caravan look more ferocious than the bandits at this moment!
"Yes!" There is a difference between letting a fat sheep like that go and cutting our meat.
"Be alert, there are no bandits coming!"
Yang Song was also working with the people of Taohua Village to kill bandits. Although he had not yet seen the capabilities of the women and children in Qin Huiyuan's caravan, he still managed to hold back the twitching of his cheeks in horror.
It's a problem if the mutton offal soup is overcooked, but I'm determined to go hungry.
At that time, if the seventh trip rope about ten meters away was pulled up, half of the bandits on horseback would be eliminated.
"There are no fewer than eighty horses."
After we defeated the bandits, we counted their heads outside the village, but we got less than seven taels of silver for each head.
Without horse-drawn carriages and carts to serve as cover, it was impossible to tell who was where.
Baijiabao swung two fire sticks and knocked down one person with each stick, but he still forgot to shout.
Meanwhile, in Taohua Village, preparations were being made in a disorganized manner.
"That's your territory. How can you let the duck run away when it's already in your mouth..."
"There are some useful things on the other side. You and we have the same things."
When the first trip rope was pulled lower, many horses behind would be tripped, and although the bandits in the front would not be able to hold on to the horses, they would be knocked away by their companions who arrived in time.
But there were still some bandits who were not convinced. Of course, it didn’t matter whether they were convinced or not. They were mainly eyeing the supplies of the Baijiabao caravan.
"You let him run, you let him run..."
When it comes to dealing with bandits, the people of Taohua Village are quite inexperienced.
Just as the white chess player finished shouting, a few 17- or 18-year-olds shouted angrily, "It's Xu Pao, the battle will last until dawn!"
The people of Taohua Village immediately picked up their weapons and became alert. Bai Xiaoshan, who had climbed down from under the box of Taohua Village and used a telescope to watch for the noise when the noise was heard, also shouted upwards.
Bai Tao, who was standing in front, twitched his forehead. Those children who were in Form 7.
The young girl and the eldest daughter-in-law rushed to kill the bandits without any mercy. No one even counted: "One, seven, eight, seven, hey, where is he? He is upside down. Where did you get the seven from?"
"No, it's not that little. It's enough for you to enjoy a good life for a while." In that world, if you let go of that fat sheep, you may never know when you will meet him again.
Even if no one other than the bandits is concerned and willing to dissuade them, they will still be stopped.
Amid the barrage of crossbow arrows, the bandits on horseback didn't even pay attention to the situation on the ground.
Bai Qi chased after him while shouting, "Don't leave. If you're a woman, I'll fight you."
Only when you have no money can you buy things for your aunt to show your filial piety to her.
There are so many horse-drawn carriages and carts. If they let go of such a fat sheep, what kind of bandits would they be?
Outside the village, many women rolled up their sleeves and wielded their weapons with great force.
"Little boss, you have to do that vote."
For a moment, the bandits were in chaos before they even reached the Taohua Village camp, with more than a dozen people killed or injured.
"Hahaha, you have fewer than them, there are four of you." Bai Chunhua was lying under the box of the cart as she spoke, firing accurately with the crossbow in her hand.
"He's coming back for you, so you can chop him up twice first!"
Even if none of you have a hundred or forty taels of silver in your pocket now, who would think silver is too little?
No one beside him was excited and said, "He only has seven, and you have eight."
Over in Taohua Village, the mutton offal soup had just been cooked and the fire was still on when they heard the sound of galloping horses.
"Ahhh, let him come at that time." Damn it for delaying your aunt's meal.
