Before returning to the cottage of the bandits, Yan Yunshu still found a big wild boar in the end, and dragged it back together after being killed.

At this time, the sky was so dark that there was only a faint glow, but the people in the cottage did not dare to move, and they didn't even dare to eat dinner, but only lit a bonfire in the middle of the square, and sat quietly around.

Looking at the wild wolf corpse hanging on the long wooden stick on Mo Yuxuan's shoulder, as well as the wild boar weighing at least three or four hundred catties in Yan Yunshu's hand, everyone in the cottage had the same expression.

Shocked, frightened, and a little unconcealed longing and anticipation.

Mo Yuxuan left the wooden stick on the ground along with the wolf's corpse, and asked the leader, "How many cauldrons do you have in your cottage?" ”

The bandit leader quickly closed his half-open mouth and quickly replied, "Only...... Only one bite ......"

Mo Yuxuan glanced at all the bandits present, including the old man, the woman and the child, and what he could see at this glance alone was close to two hundred people - but the cottage of more than two hundred people only had a cauldron?

Mo Yuxuan was silent and ordered: "First skin these wolves and bleed, tann the wolf skins and put them away, make cold-proof clothes in winter, marinate the meat and hang it to dry, and then set up the cauldron and light the fire to boil the water." ”

The bandit leader's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ordered the other bandits: "Hurry up, hurry up!" Let's all move! Didn't you hear what your guests had to say? Old melon, you take someone to peel the wolf's skin, iron eggs, you go and set up a big iron pot and boil it full of water! ”

The bandits responded one after another, and they all ran fast.

A little child's eyes were shining and he looked at the big wild boar at Mo Yuxuan's feet, and asked the woman beside him softly: "Mother, can we eat wild boar tonight?" ”

Mo Yuxuan's ears were sharp, and when he heard the sound, he raised his eyes and looked over, the woman was startled, and quickly took the child into her arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, baby, when you turn around, your father will give you wild meat, this is the stuff of the distinguished guests......"

Mo Yuxuan sighed in his heart, turned his head and continued to say to the bandit leader: "Find out all the pots you can use, put the rice grain, wild vegetables and wild boar together and cook them into thick porridge for everyone to eat, remember to put some salt, and remember not to let people eat meat, many of you here have been hungry for a long time, and eating meat alone will vomit and diarrhea......"

The bandit leader was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed with water, his lips moved a few times, and finally he only said, "Thank you...... Thank you, young man......"

Mo Yuxuan sighed, didn't speak again, only called a few people to shave and disembowel the wild boar together, then cut a large piece of meat off the hind legs, and handed over the rest to the bandit leader, before calling Yan Yunshu together, went to the side, re-lit a fire, and squatted next to the barbecue.

Looking at Mo Yuxuan's whole piece of barbecue while sprinkling salt on it, Yan Yunshu suddenly said: "General Mo, when I have the opportunity in the future, I will invite you to eat really delicious barbecue." ”

Mo Yuxuan turned over the meat in his hand and raised his eyes to look at Yan Yunshu: "What's a delicious way?" ”

Yan Yunshu smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Cut the fat and thin pork belly into slices of meat that are one inch square and as thick as two copper coins, and then wear them with sharpened bamboo skewers, brush with oil, sprinkle with salt, chili powder, pepper powder, and pepper and cumin powder from the Western Regions, and roast them on the fire until they are bubbling with oil, that is the delicious ...... in the world."

Mo Yuxuan looked at Yan Yunshu in the firelight in a daze, only to see that her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, her expression was gentle, and her cheeks, which were as white as jade, were dyed with a faint flush by the firelight, and she was thrillingly beautiful.

Listening to her eloquent voice in a delicate and soft voice, Mo Yuxuan's saliva involuntarily bubbled out, but he didn't know whether he was hungry for the barbecue that Yan Yunshu said at this time, or her "beauty".

was in a daze, Yan Yunshu suddenly patted his arm: "It's going to be baked, turn it over quickly!" ”

Mo Yuxuan instantly came back to his senses, quickly turned over and continued to bake.

After the meat was cooked, he first cut a large piece and handed it to Yan Yunshu, then divided the rest into two parts, and then whistled.

The whistle fell, and a figure in black suddenly flashed from the darkness and quickly came to Mo Yuxuan's side.

Mo Yuxuan handed him the meat in his hand and said, "Shadow Seven, you go back and call Shadow Lei over and ask him to bring some people, I will build this place into our secret military camp." ”

Shadow Seven nodded, answered a short "yes", and then dodged away again.

The thieves saw this scene from afar, but they didn't dare to squeak, and only buried their heads in dealing with the wild vegetables and pork porridge in the bowl.

Yan Yunshu watched Ying Qi leave and asked, "There are still masters secretly following you by your side?" ”

Mo Yuxuan said in a snort: "Then there must be!" My dad and my cousin were reluctant to let me hang out alone. ”

Yan Yunshu glanced at him: "Aren't you at ease?" ”

"Huh!" Mo Yuxuan took a big bite of meat and said vaguely, "How can you say that?" Don't I want to lose face? ”

Yan Yunshu didn't let go of this question, and instead asked, "Then when we get lost, why doesn't he remind us to give us?" ”

"The question is...... He doesn't know the way! ”

“……”

Yan Yun was silent for a moment, and buried his head in nibbling on meat.

By the time everyone had eaten and drunk, the night was already very thick, and it was dark in the deep mountains, except for a few half-bright bonfires in the field, which lit up the nearby area.

The bandit leader was satisfied, and when he saw that everyone was full, he was even more satisfied, and after explaining that everyone went back to rest, he slowly moved to Yan Yunshu and Mo Yuxuan's side, and called softly: "Young man......"

Mo Yuxuan pointed to the trunk of the tree next to him that was used as a seat: "Sit down." ”

The leader sat down obediently, Mo Yuxuan didn't wait for him to speak, and said: "I think you are more like a village than a bandit, because why do you fall into the grass?" ”

The leader sighed and replied softly: "What Shaoxia said is right, we were originally villagers of Sanli Village, Lianghe Town, Gushan County, outside the mountain, and my name is Wei Yunlong, the patriarch of our Wei family, and the village head of Sanli Village. ”

"Our Sanli Village is backed by the mountains, quite remote, so it is also very poor, but no matter how poor, everyone helps each other, planting some food on the hillside, catching some fish and shrimp in the river, and playing some game in the mountains and forests, we can always make do with survival, and remoteness also means less trouble, but ......"

"About three years ago, the lieutenant chief suddenly summoned all the village chiefs and told us that there was a new county magistrate in Gushan County, and this new county magistrate came from the capital with a deep background, and asked our villages to prepare some filial piety, as long as we were happy to serve this lord, everyone would have a good life."

"Our Sanli Village is already poor, and the only thing we can prepare is mountain goods."

"The village organized about 20 young men, divided into five groups to go into the mountains to hunt, not wanting to meet blind bears because they went too far into the mountains and forests...... A blind bear broke the ...... of our two offspring"

Wei Yunlong raised his hand and wiped his face, and continued: "I thought that I would give this blind bear to the county magistrate, and this matter will be over, but I didn't expect it...... Didn't expect ......"

When he said this, his originally sad expression became angry: "I didn't expect that the county order was insatiable, how could he give half of the gift?" I'm going to have to get him a pair...... We...... Where are we going to find him another blind bear? How many of our young offspring are enough bears to shoot blind? ”

"We begged bitterly, but he just didn't let go, he had to send another blind bear, and pretended that he wanted this blind bear to help our village for benefits, and a blind bear could help us exempt from taxes for three years, but only for a month......"

"We were ...... Or even really believe that he is a good person...... There was really no way, so we had to organize the descendants to go into the mountains, but where is the bear blind so easy to find? I didn't find it until it exceeded his limit of one month, and the next ......"

Wei Yunlong stopped talking, buried his head in his knees, and continued in a voice that was still crying after a long time: "Next, he levied a large number of laborers, especially in our village, from seventy-year-old people to newborn dolls, all counted together in a village of about 300 people, if we want to pay 180 laborers, those who can't afford to pay will take money, and one labor will be ten taels of silver, he will ...... Isn't that our lives? ”

"We are just small people, powerless and powerless, we can't twist the thighs of the county government, so we have to grit our teeth and make up people, almost every man in the family goes to labor, the older one is in his fifties, and the younger one is only twelve or thirteen years old, but this group of beasts! He arranged for us to work hard to repair the river, and after just over a month, nearly half of the laborers in our village died...... A hundred men! ”

Wei Yunlong hugged his knees and cried out, an old man over half a hundred years old, crying like an aggrieved child.

Mo Yuxuan didn't know how to comfort him, he was silent for a while, then patted him on the shoulder again, and asked, "That's ...... And then? ”

"Later ......"

Wei Yunlong wiped away his tears and continued: "Later, our clan and the village together put together all the belongings and sent them to the foreman who oversaw the work, not asking him to exempt us from labor, but only asking him to give us a day, and we will collect the corpses of the dead villagers......"

"More than eighty corpses are lying in the village, can you imagine what it was?"

Wei Yunlong's voice became louder: "Those them!" How come they weren't struck by lightning? How come they weren't slashed by a thousand cuts?! ”

No wonder there are only thirty or forty young adults in their cottage of more than 200 people, it turns out that this is the reason.

Mo Yuxuan suddenly thought of the robe on the battlefield, he was besieged in the deep mountains for more than ten days, and then Luo Qianye and Luo Qian narrowly won, he found a chance to go out, and the first thing he saw when he returned to the barracks was the corpse of nearly two thousand pioneer battalion boys, how could Wei Yunlong empathize with his mood at that time?

But he understood Wei Yunlong's feelings: "So after you buried the dead villagers, you fled with the whole village?" ”

Wei Yunlong shook his head: "We took revenge before we escaped......"
