Chapter 38: The two sides confront
"Second aunt, you take someone to pick up some firewood, and let's start cooking." Mu Rufeng went to uncover the cloth covering the meat on the ox cart and lifted a large piece of beef.
Wen Wan came over with a rattan basket, "Second aunt, I found some wild vegetables again, and after a while, I mixed some white flour with something else and baked it into a cake." ”
Second Aunt Li saw the basket of wild vegetables in Wen Wan's hand, and her face was puzzled: "Are we sure we want to do so much tonight?" ”
"Let's do it for the time being, Ming'er should be able to cook without regenerating fire." Mu Rufeng Dao.
Second Aunt Li felt a little strange, and Mu Rufeng's voice was too loud.
However, she didn't ask more, but asked someone to collect firewood and support the pot.
The beef may still have to be grilled.
Due to the need to control the quantity, Aunt Li is responsible for the work.
Wen Wan was a little too enthusiastic today, and took the kitchen knife in her hand, "Second aunt, I'll come." ”
"You...... Will it? ”
"Yes. Today, I'm going to make all the beef into beef jerky, which is durable, easy to eat, and hungry resistant. With the addition of wild vegetable dumplings, it is probably enough for us not to fire for two or three days. ”
In three days, you will be able to reach Licheng.
"Beef jerky?" Second Aunt Li was puzzled.
In the past two days, the marinated beef, under the action of high temperature, has become jerky.
Why do you have to do it again?
Seeing that the strips were evenly sized, Second Aunt Li no longer doubted her words, and found another knife and cut it on the other side.
Wen Wan cut and looked around.
Sure enough, the group of people behind them, one by one, hid the fierce light in their eyes, whispered for a while, and looked at them again.
Before she finished cutting it, Wen Wan suddenly stopped the knife, "Second aunt, carry all this meat to the back." ”
"What?" Second Aunt Li didn't react for a while.
As soon as I looked up, I saw Wen Wan standing up, and following Wen Wan's line of sight, I saw more than a dozen people coming this way together.
Second Aunt Li was startled, and hurriedly brought the pot and cutting board to the back.
On the other side, Mu Rufeng also found those people, and whispered to the big tiger and bull beside him: "Be on guard." ”
The other party is aggressive, looking at the two people who take the lead, it seems that they are still practicing the family.
Mu Rufeng said: "If they come at us, the first two will be handed over to me, and we will swear to protect the family behind us!" ”
"Rest assured, like the wind."
Li Dahu looked at those people, and at the same time saw Wen Wan standing in front with a kitchen knife.
He was shocked, and hurriedly got up and ran over, "Miss Wen, the person who came is not good, you stand back." ”
Although Wen Wan had already shown her skills, Li Dahu still felt that it was just luck to be able to subdue the bandit leader, and it was only skillful to tie the cattle in the cracks in the ground.
If there is a real fight, it will have to be their men.
"It's okay, I'll protect you." Wen Wan gave him a reassuring look.
This girl has always been so calm, seeing those eyes like the sea, Li Dahu's heart suddenly trembled, and he nodded his head almost to the devil.
Everyone bowed their heads and did their own thing, looking like everyone was irrelevant, only gentle, staring straight at the two people walking in front.
Those who stopped at a distance of more than ten steps from them, and did not dodge their eyes, staring straight at the people in front of the pear blossom concave.
"You guys, who has the final say?" A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stepped forward.
Mu Rufeng was about to speak, but Wen Wan replied one step in advance: "I have the final say." ”
"Huh~woman?" The young man looked disdainful, a desert escape team with a woman having the final say, isn't that at the mercy of others?
"Look down on women?" Wen Wan raised her chin lightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you're the boss?" ”
The young man seemed a little surprised, most of them were men in their thirties and forties, but this woman was sure that he was the boss.
"Interesting, since you can see it, grandpa, I won't talk nonsense with you. A few of us are on the road, hungry, and want to have a fire with you and have dinner. ”
"Can I understand that you are asking for food?" The gentle voice is cool.
A tall man beside the young man said in a rough voice: "Stinky bitch, can't you see that the old men are robbing?" ”
The young man raised his hand, "We are civilized people, and it is better not to do it if we can discuss." ”
"Hehe~" Wen Wan suddenly smiled and deliberately restrained her killing intent.
"You woman, what are you laughing at?" The young man raised his chin, his eyes slightly angry.
"On the contrary, I don't like to be civilized, and I don't like nonsense when I can do it." As soon as Wen Wan's fingers moved, the kitchen knife turned a few times in the palm of her hand.
"What an arrogant tone!" The tall man suddenly pulled out a bright knife from behind him.
The women of the pear blossom concave retreated to the back with their children in their arms.
The men guarded what little food they had left.
Seeing this, Mu Zhen was afraid that the young man would be angry, so he really fought, and hurriedly stepped forward to make peace, "Guys, if you have something to say." We are all refugees, and we don't have much to eat, so if you don't dislike it, I can decide to share some of it with you. ”
"Who are you, old man?" The boy still looked dismissive.
"I'm the village head, and the Lord can still do this. If you're hungry, I've got some food...... I hope that you will lift up your noble hands and do not hurt anyone. "Mu Zhen is well-informed, so he naturally knows that this group of people is not easy to mess with.
Just looking at the ruthlessness of that body, it is like a person at the end of the road, definitely more powerful than the bandits on Qiyun Mountain.
The other party didn't speak, but said softly and coldly: "Old man, go back, there is no place for you to speak here." ”
Mu Zhen's eyes were a little complicated when he looked at Wen Wan, "Girl, for some things outside the body, we can't fight with our lives." ”
If the young people of Lihuawa are damaged, how can there be so many old and weak women and children?
Forgive him for Mu Zhen's lack of ability, and he can't lead everyone to the road of life.
But Wen Wan knew that food was more important than life in these years, so she naturally wouldn't give it away.
"Old man, you don't naively think that a little food will send them away, do you? What if they want meat? Wen Wan didn't look back.
"We also have ...... meat"
"What if you want fresh meat?"
"Fresh meat?" Mu Zhen hesitated, they didn't have anything new......
Wrong!
He stared incredulously and asked, "You mean ......?"
Mu Zhen was no longer deadlocked, returned to the crowd, and asked everyone to take care of the child.
If these people really know how to eat human flesh, they really have to fight with them.
The young man naturally heard their conversation, and suddenly smiled: "Sister, I believe it now, you have the final say here." But...... I don't want to eat human flesh today, but your beef is acceptable. And also...... You. ”
"Me?" Raise your eyebrows gently.
"Hahaha!" The young man looked up and laughed, "Sister, to be honest, no one wants to eat people. Meat, but we can't resist it, human flesh is so fragrant, I want to eat it again after eating it once, so it's ......"
The boy spread his hands and seemed innocent, "This is how a group of us survived." ”
