Chapter 12 Troubled Times Are Hard to Survive

The next day, Liu Boqin came again, and brought a master of killing pigs and sheep to sterilize several piglets.

As the saying goes, once born and twice matured, looking at the opportunity, Chen Erya also had a private conversation with Liu Boqin, and it is unknown what he said.

Chen Dalang finally found time, and the brothers went to Qingshi Town together to buy wine, buy daily necessities, and specially find a blacksmith to order a large iron pot, until the silver given by the old lady was spent.

There are horses to travel, it is very convenient to come and go, and when I came back, I went to Liu Boqin's house to drink tea, and was warmly welcomed by Liu Boqin's wife.

The pot is there, the materials are there, the only thing missing is the pig thigh, it just so happened that there was a pig slaughtered in the same village, and three taels of refined salt were exchanged for a pig thigh, and the other party saw such a fine refined salt, and felt that he had made a lot of money, so he spared two pig ears.

The whole family gathered around to see how he cooked the pig's thigh, and the two-tailed white fox also came to join in the fun, and in just a few days, its injuries were 70% healed.

The family was a little resistant at first, but found that the little fox was very well-behaved and did not steal chickens, so they raised it as a cat and dog.

The moment he lifted the spoon, Chen Jiping had a sense of time and space confusion, as if he had returned to his previous life when he was a chef, and it was not until he habitually went to find chili peppers that he recovered from his trance.

Braised knuckle is one of his specialties in his previous life, even if there is a lack of ingredients, even if the pork has a bit of a peculiar smell, he can do it quite well.

When the red and shiny elbows came out of the pot, the saliva of the family came out, and even the vegetarian little fox showed a salivating anthropomorphic expression.

Since it is prepared for the monkeys, everyone can only taste a little, but they can't eat the delicious food in front, and the feeling is quite torturous.

Seeing this situation, Chen Jiping made braised pork again, and the family didn't dare to squat at will, and the little fox also ate a few pieces, and happily circled around him.

Considering that the elbow was not delicious after a long time, Chen Jiping rushed to the Marble Mountain with wine and elbows.

When I saw Sun Wukong, he drank wine and ate food, but he didn't talk much, which obviously didn't fit the character of a monkey.

"What's the matter, monkey, look at you not very happy!"

"No, no, this meat is delicious!" After speaking, he concentrated on dealing with wine and meat.

Chen Jiping thought that the other party was sad and sad, and there were already fallen leaves around, and seeing the grass growing and withering year after year, and being imprisoned here, everyone would have this feeling, so he persuaded him: "With your ability, you will be able to go out sooner or later, and when you are developed in the future, don't forget me!" ”

The monkey stopped drinking, "It's getting cold, let's come less in the future, I have nothing to teach you!" ”

Chen Jiping was slightly stunned, he heard what was in the words, but thinking that he was less than ten years old, it seemed untrue to say too much, "I can't come more, when the snow closes the mountain, I can't come in at all, next time I'll build a shed for you, you'll be better!" ”

"No, no, I'm not afraid of the cold!"

Chen Jiping didn't say anything more, and when he left, Sun Wukong looked at the background where he disappeared and muttered, "Am I thinking too much?" ”

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching in a blink of an eye, and I don't know if it's because it's cold at night or for other reasons, the little fox has always been sleeping next to Chen Jiping recently.

"Xiaobai, your injuries are healed, why don't you leave?"

"Squeak~" The little fox waved its paws, as if to express something.

"I can't find a home, or am I reluctant to braised pork?"

"Squeak!"

"Well, stay as long as you like!"

The family's economic situation is getting better, and it doesn't matter if you have an extra mouth to eat.

The conditions are a little more difficult and bearable, but in this troubled era, even hiding in a remote mountain village is not safe to live.

Father Li Gensheng, who ran back from Qingshi Town, brought back heavy news that a large number of routs had ransacked Qingshi Town and were heading in the direction of Liujiazhai.

Hearing this news, the whole village immediately took action, hiding grain and hiding property, if the army came here, it would be a catastrophe for the mountain village.

Chen Erya was worried, "San Lang, do you think Liujiazhai will be..."

"Sister is worried about Brother Liu, he's fine!"

"How do you know?"

Chen Jiping smiled mysteriously, "I asked the monkey to tell your fortune!" ”

"Really?"

"I don't believe in pulling down, I always feel that everything is not safe in the cellar, and all eggs can't be put in one basket!"

Chen Erya was distracted, "What you said makes sense, I'll dig a hole behind the pig's nest!" ”

The whole village is busy, Chen Dalang took the two young men with dexterous legs and feet to be scouts on the mountain road, if there is any movement, those big girls and little daughters-in-law hide in the woods first.

In the afternoon, thick smoke drifted from the mountain road in the distance, and it was still here that it was time to come.

After a tea time, more than 100 soldiers in disheveled armor rushed into the village, in the previous life, as a person born under the red flag and growing up in a new society, although the life was poor, but there was really no intuitive understanding of the soldiers and bandits.

They were completely unreasonable, and one of the villagers' cellars, where their entire fortune was, was discovered, and they begged to leave them some food for the winter, only to be destroyed.

Chen Jiping's family was not spared, but fortunately, three horses, Lao Hei and a litter of piglets were all taken into the woods by Chen Liu and Chen Erya, and even so, the two old hens were not spared, the cellar was discovered, the distillation utensils were destroyed, and a vat of sorghum and half a vat of wheat used as seeds were also robbed.

There was a widow in the village who was struggling to survive with her children, and when the two sheep she had were snatched away, the widow pleaded and was dragged into the house.

Chen Dalang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly killed the whole village with the young people of the village, hacking and killing several bandits, but the other party was overwhelmed, and the situation was not good.

Chen Jiping naturally couldn't bear the suffering of his brother and fellow villagers, but his ability was limited, so he hid behind the house, sacrificed the human emperor seal, and smashed the leader's head into ten thousand peach blossoms.

Seeing the tragic situation of the deceased, everyone was stunned, and a few vicious bandits came back to their senses and rushed to the back of the house, Chen Jiping had already used stealth techniques to shrink in the corner.

The bandits searched unsuccessfully, and left with suspicion, he once again sacrificed the human emperor's seal, stoned the most ferocious guy to death, and then became invisible again, and the bandits searched again, but still found nothing.

As everyone knows, there are fairies and ghosts in this world, and when two people died in a row, those bandits suddenly felt furious, and they didn't dare to stay any longer, so they left the mountain village with the loot they had looted, leaving behind a mess all over the ground.

Reality can always make people recognize themselves, Chen Jiping watched those bandit-like guys, pulling carts, driving sheep, and holding chickens to leave calmly, but he didn't dare to step forward to stop them.

The stealth technique can only stand still, can not sneak, the human emperor seal is sharp, but he can only kill one person at a time, in the face of the hundred and ten bandits, he rushed up and sent to death.

Looking at the tragic situation of the family that was killed, at this moment, he really realized the importance of strength, and he was not able to protect his family and the fruits of his labor.

Some thoughts in his heart were shaken, in the troubled times, can he hide in the mountains?
