Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

They must be blind and can't see their own good.

Since these people look down on me, I might as well find another good partner.

Therefore, as soon as she entered the mountain village, she felt that this place was beautiful with green mountains and clear waters (what the hell is green mountains in the middle of the night?), and the people were outstanding. Not only were the men very strong, but even the women and children who were weak and helpless all had plump complexions. Although this mountain village was far away from the world, it provided such good support to everyone, and it must be a safe and wealthy place.

If she had the chance, she wouldn't want to go out and suffer the pain of being displaced again.

She wanted to...stay here.

The most direct way was to marry a man here. The bald man who was patrolling just now and looked extremely strong was obviously very suitable for her...

Xiaoqiao was just fantasizing unilaterally, not considering whether the other party was also attracted to her, and was too eager to do so...

With this thought in mind, she quietly retreated behind everyone while they were not paying attention, turned around and prepared to slip out.

As for the others, after being brought into the house, they looked around the surrounding environment. They were still in the main room, and because of what the bald man said before he left, that someone would bring them water and food, they felt even more strange. That's why they didn't disperse hastily, but gathered together to talk quietly, and no one noticed that Xiaoqiao had slipped out at some point.

"Everyone, something seems a little strange to me." After everyone looked around and made sure that they were the only ones in the room, Lin Baotian spoke impatiently.

Hunter Lin Quanshui didn't care about his wife being pushed around. He felt bad about the current situation. "Yeah, this is too hospitable. In this situation, there are still people who are so generous to prepare water and food for more than 30 people..."

Luo Changzhang also shared his observations, "I also find it strange. Did you see that when I came here, the men and women, young and old, in this village all had rosy complexions and plump bodies. They didn't look depressed at all like people in times of famine and chaos."

"Yes, it's too abnormal, so abnormal that it's unreasonable." Even the most honest Old Man Lin and Mrs. Miao had a bad premonition.

Lin Xiaoyue raised a mysterious arc at the corner of her mouth. She was very glad that these simple and honest people who once came from the countryside had finally grown up after being tempered and suppressed on the road to escape famine, and finally became a little defensive.

Although this sense of vigilance is still a little immature, it is at least much better than maintaining a stupid and stubborn way of thinking.

"We may have entered a den of bandits."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they gasped frequently, "How...how is this possible?"

"Third girl, you said we... entered a bandit's lair? Is it the lair of the bandits we encountered earlier?"

The head of the village was devastated and suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. After confirming that she was not joking, he was filled with despair and his head was in a mess.

Everyone was also stunned, their faces turning pale and blue, looking at Lin Sanya who was not in a hurry, wondering if she knew what she was talking about.

What sin have they committed? This is not the way to send sheep into a bandit's den.

They thought of countless possibilities, thinking that the people in the mountain village might want the doctor in their team, their livestock, or the rations they carried on their backs... But no matter how much they thought, they never expected this most outrageous result.

Some people even raised questions in desperation, wondering if Lin Sanya was thinking too much and assuming the worst of everyone.

Lin Xiaoyue glanced at the other person nonchalantly, and said calmly, "Didn't you notice the big knife that the bald guy was swinging in his hand just now? It is at least 70% similar to the weapon used by the gang of bandits who attacked us at night. And, in my opinion, the bald guy's promise to send people to deliver food and drinks before he left is probably not that simple."

Doctor Qiao was confused and subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaoyue, "Do you think they will add something to the food?"

Lin Xiaoyue looked back at him calmly. Although she said nothing, the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Everyone's faces changed again and again. They knew that the refugees were short of food and clothing, and they would definitely not refuse their "good intentions."

They were afraid that once they had eaten the "added" food and fell asleep, the people lurking in the dark outside spying on them would seize the opportunity and rush over to eat them all up.

Everyone wanted to escape, but now their every move was under the other party's eyes. They were clearly trapped. Where could they run to? ?

Everyone was so angry that they wanted to beat themselves to death for running faster than anyone else when they saw the people living in the valley. However, the meat was on the chopping board now, and even if everyone regretted it to death, they could not change their current precarious situation.

"Okay, pay attention to your expressions, they are coming." Lin Xiaoyue was not just focused on whispering with everyone, but was leaning against the half-open window frame, paying attention to the movements around her.

Everyone's face was filled with horror, their minds were blank. What? So fast, they were not ready yet.

The women were still a little weak, and their eyes turned red with anxiety. "What...what should we do? What should we do?"

"When water comes, the soil will flood. Pack up your things and don't eat or drink in front of them."

Seeing that everyone was so anxious, Lin Xiaoyue was afraid that they would reveal the truth, so she simply asked those with a worse mentality to stay away. Of course, when you arrive in a strange place, it is a common practice to use the excuse of packing up your luggage, and the other party can't find any reason to do so.

As soon as he finished speaking, all the women in the family carried baskets and rushed to the inner room. Because they were in a panic, they made a crackling noise, which was immediately interpreted by the two fat women who came in with food as the noise of packing bedding.

Disdain flashed across his eyes, and was replaced by a friendly and amiable expression. He said enthusiastically to the few people who were still in the main room, "I'm afraid the girls are busy cleaning up. Come, I've prepared some hot water and lard cakes for the guests who have come from afar. I hope you don't mind my poor cooking skills. Just make do with them."

The pancakes brought by the two fat women were smeared with lard. They were just out of the pan, emitting hot steam and a rich aroma, which made people's appetites rise.

"You are so kind, Auntie. We didn't eat or sleep well on the way here. We stumbled into your precious place tonight. You can lend us a room to rest for the night. We are very grateful. How can we take advantage of you? Please don't do that."

It must be said that Doctor Qiao had dealt with all kinds of people after all, so he quickly adjusted his state so that no one could tell what was wrong. He changed his previous mode of verbal attacks, which were intended to make people angry to death, and thanked the two aunties who brought him food in a polite and courteous manner.
