When she was seated just now, the jade-faced rat and the other old brothers unanimously asked her to sit at the chief. But today, Brother Tiger was injured and did not return, she was worried, and she had never been able to intervene in major events, and she was impatient to socialize, but delayed eating and drinking. So she excused herself, and sat down at a table with a few women who had come to talk to her.

However, at this juncture today, she is making a little trouble. Because, several old brothers who took care of her were all preoccupied at the moment, and they had no time to take care of anything else.

At this moment, the tiger sister-in-law scolded while struggling: "Dead snake, you are the one who died early and no one taught your father, our head of the family is not dead, but you didn't come back, and you started to rebel?" “

Her bear child left his seat at this time, came to her with tears in his eyes, tugged at her clothes vigorously, and cried unrelentingly: "Mother..... You hit him for me! Dead snake, dare to bully me. “

The tiger sister-in-law turned her head, stretched out two big hands like a fan, a tiger hug, and the mother suddenly sat on the ground with a buttocks, hugged her head and cried.

She cried and howled: "Brother Tiger, you haven't come back for half a day, any cat or dog in this village dares to bully our mother....."

Things changed so quickly that everyone in the hall didn't have time to react.

Xie Yucheng and Niu Er couldn't help but look at each other.

The jade-faced mouse glanced at Qiao Feiyan, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and walked towards the tiger sister-in-law.

Several leaders stood up, and asked the crowd watching the excitement to hurry up and finish their meals, and prepare to set off as a team.

Under the persuasion of Qiao Feiyan and others, the tiger sister-in-law finally stopped crying.

After a while, the third brother took the lead in getting up and leaving the table and walked out through the side door.

After a while, a gong sounded in front of the hall, and the big and small leaders began to shout, and the bandits whose names were read had to reluctantly put down the dishes and chopsticks, picked up the weapons leaning on the table and stool, and while touching the round belly, they concentrated crookedly in front of the hall.

The rest of the crowd also began to leave the table one after another. At this time, most of the tables are empty and empty. The bandits, who had been hungry for a long time, chewed everything they could eat on the table and swallowed it into their stomachs, and even picked up and ate the leftovers that accidentally fell on the table. Others directly picked up the plate, stuck out their tongues, and licked the plate clean, without even brushing.

...

The team of this sortie was divided into two marching echelons.

The first echelon is the exploration team, led by the third brother.

There were originally nine members of the horse exploration team, and the current six people are still in Tanghu Wei and have not returned. Now, there are only three of them in the village, including the third brother.

The jade-faced rat asked the third brother to transfer two other good hands in the village, plus the brother who was a relative in the cold water hole, and Qiao Feiyan, Lu Qing, and Xie Yucheng and Niu Er, two guests, a total of ten people, disguised as a wood merchant from outside the mountain, Xie Yucheng dressed as a businessman, Niu Er dressed as a guide, and the others all dressed as retinues and associates.

The second echelon is the cottage brigade, consisting of 16 platoons as the backbone, plus other brothers in the village, and a small number of women's teams, the total number is around 100 people. Led by the jade-faced rat himself.

Now, in the side courtyard of Weiyi Hall, the horse exploration team is getting ready to go, but the third brother has been nowhere to be seen.

The wait is anxious.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and finally their eyes fell on Xie Yucheng.

"I'll take a look." Xie Yucheng, who was wearing a top hat and a long gown, got up from the steps.

"Wait, I'll go too." Qiao Feiyan coiled up her braids, wore a felt hat to cover it, and wore a patched dress on her body, like a buddy. At this time, she saw Xie Yucheng going outside, and hurriedly got up.

The two walked out side by side.

Niu Er looked at their distant backs in a daze, not knowing whether to follow or stay and wait, and when he hesitated, their figures disappeared at the door. "Hey, wait for me." Niu Eryu slipped and chased after him.

The third brother was standing on the steps in front of Weiyi Hall, talking about something excitedly. There was a crowd of people at the bottom of the steps, mostly women, old people and children, and a few bandits who had been assigned to stay behind.

When I got closer, I heard that the third brother was persuading me bitterly: "Sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters, time is urgent, we are about to set off to save those brothers who fell into the Jingwei regiment, everyone should hurry up and get the remaining bones back." “

Bone? What do you want bones for?

Xie Yucheng was puzzled, during the dinner just now, the people were hungry wolf-like, I was afraid that even the small pieces of pig bones were directly chewed and eaten, and there were not even bones left...... Well, just now the cooking was in a hurry, and some of the larger hard bones were not stewed and could not be crushed. Could it be that such a big bone is gone?

Seeing that Xie Yucheng's face was full of doubts, Qiao Feiyan sighed in her heart, the village is poor like a dog, and the bandits don't even let go of a bone.

Xie Yucheng didn't notice Qiao Feiyan's sigh, and Gu Zi wondered: What do you want bones for this third brother? Could it be that this dinner party is to invite everyone to eat pork, and next time to invite everyone to eat bone broth? Xie Yucheng couldn't help but laugh at his thoughts.

However, the soldiers are fast, and the horse exploration team is about to set off, isn't the third brother messing around.

"Yu'er, do you want to know what the third brother does when he collects bones?" At this time, Qiao Feiyan's voice sounded beside her. She kept watching him, taking in the look on his face.

Xie Yucheng glanced at her, ignoring the teasing meaning in her words, and nodded.

Qiao Feiyan hooked her finger at him with a mysterious expression, motioning for him to come closer.

Xie Yucheng stretched out his ears and leaned over, but he felt that he was blowing like an orchid, but he heard her say seriously: "Yu'er, in fact, I don't know." “

After she finished speaking, she flashed a pair of big eyes and looked at him with a smile: "Unexpectedly, there are also things that the fish can't understand?" To tell you the truth, the third brother took the bones for fishing. “

Xie Yucheng glanced at her, looked left and right, and found that a neighboring table was passing by during the meal, and hurriedly grabbed it: "This brother, may I ask the third brother for what he wants bones for?" “

"What to do? I'm going to walk at night tonight. “

Seeing Xie Yucheng's blank face, this bandit said in his heart: This foreign student is only afraid that he will have no worries about food and clothing since he was a child..... Who knows that most of the people up and down in our village have suffered one disaster or another because of the poverty of their families, and they can't survive. I had no choice but to go up the hill and fall into the grass. At present, the bandits in the crowd standing on the ping, in order to maintain the food and clothing of the family on weekdays, are all very thrifty.

A big dinner like today's is a rare feast. The bones left on the dinner table just now, even if there was not even a little shredded meat on them, were still a rare treasure for the families of the bandits who were difficult to know the taste of meat in March. Especially women with children.

While they were in the wind and clouds, they had already taken advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, so they secretly hid the bones and even large pieces of fat in their clothes, and sent them home immediately after the banquet was dispersed. I'm going to take it with wild vegetables another day and drink it in bone broth.

It's no secret in cottages either. Almost every woman would do this. Generally, as long as it is not too out of line, the big and small bosses will not interfere.

"Foreign students, you are a golden nobleman, how do you know these ways to walk at night. On this night, when I passed by the village shopkeeper, I had to buy a road from the vicious dog who kept vigil with a bone. “

The bandit teased.

Xie Yuzhen suddenly realized that he couldn't help but laugh.
