Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Once a word is spoken, it is hard to follow.

Since Lin Xiaoyue had made a promise, she would naturally not go back on her word. Moreover, the other party also subtly reminded them of the direction to look for the person. Lin Xiaoyue remembered this favor.

Just now, when the head of the village and Lin Xiaoyue were discussing whether to keep the child in the team or let him leave on his own, Lin Xiaoyue sighed softly and said that she had no opinion and it was all up to the head of the village to arrange it.

After hearing Lin Xiaoyue's words, the head of the village had an idea in his mind. After a moment's hesitation, he stood up and straightened his old back. With the support of Lin Baotian, the two of them hurried to the doctor to find the boy before the evening meal was served.

at dusk.

The village head came back and wiped his head and hands with the basin of well water that his daughter-in-law Aunt Baotian had fetched for him. Then he sat in the open shed with everyone else and talked about the decision made about the disfigured boy.

Speaking of which, that child was also a pitiful one. Although no one knew why his appearance was ruined at such a young age, his character was still quite decent. It could be said that he was one of the few kids with a clean mind among all the dirty and despicable bandits they had met.

Originally, the village head had discussed with Lin Baotian before he went there, whether they could leave the child behind, after all, there was plenty of food in the mountain village, and they would not need to worry about the food if they took the child with them. They could take the child to the state capital, and give him some money, so that he could at least find a way to survive in the state capital.

But the child became silent after hearing his words, sitting on the kang in a daze, and after a long while, he got up and kowtowed heavily to the headman. The headman was so scared that he almost slipped off the chair and hurriedly asked Lin Baotian to help the child up.

Why are you kneeling during such an unusual festival? It's such a big honor to show your respect. It's really scary.

Then the boy smiled faintly, asked the head of the village for a horse and some food, took his clothes and the silver his father left him, bowed deeply to the head of the village and Lin Baotian, and rode out of the village before nightfall, heading into the deep mountains.

Before leaving, the village head asked a few more questions out of concern, and the man just told him that he was going to look for his relatives.

The bandits have relatives?

I’m afraid even ghosts don’t believe it?

The village head's mouth twitched. It was hard to believe that the kid didn't take such a perfunctory excuse seriously.

Having been in charge of all matters in the village for decades, he is certainly not a fool. Everyone knows that the boy's excuse is quite obvious and credible.

However, since the man refused to tell the truth and showed no ill will towards them, the village head naturally could not embarrass a child. He just nodded slightly and sent him out personally. He watched him run towards the distant mountains and forests, and only returned after he could no longer see his figure.

Everyone was silent for a moment after hearing this, but soon the atmosphere became lively again.

They were the only ones left in the entire village now. They had a big beast to protect them, enough food and clothing, and an old well that was eighty meters deep. Their life was so comfortable.

But the village head shouted, hitting everyone with a pipe, and scolded them not to get too complacent, and to prepare as usual. However, they had originally planned to leave three days to prepare all the supplies, but the accident delayed a lot of work on the first day, so they simply extended it for another day.

After hearing this, everyone cheered loudly. Some of them immediately rushed to the nearby room, brought out several jars of wine, and asked the women to serve the meat quickly. Then they sipped the wine and ate the meat, celebrating happily.

This day has made them understand that instead of living in fear all day long, wondering how God will temper the world, they know that even if they, the ants, are insignificant, they are still people with flesh and blood and thoughts.

Instead of living in fear and treading on thin ice all the time without knowing what will happen tomorrow, it is better to learn to cherish what you have and live in the present.

The noise they made that night was quite loud, causing Tiger Lord to yell at them from time to time. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him because he was drunk.

There were also a few people who were so bold as to drink that they took advantage of their drunkenness to touch the tiger's butt, which made Maomao so angry that he bare his teeth at the group of people.

If the village head had not suddenly taken out half a pig to roast for Uncle Tiger, allowing Uncle Tiger to taste a texture other than raw meat for the first time, he would have been so satisfied with his cooking. Otherwise, when those people touched his butt, he would not have just used his tail to repeatedly whip the other party's claws that were stretched out towards him.

The group did not rest until the late night. Except for the patrol personnel, everyone else in the village had fallen into a deep sleep.

Not long after falling asleep, Lin Xiaoyue was awakened by someone knocking on the door. It turned out that Da Chong was bored and ran to the barn to have fun. He was discovered by the night patrol. Fortunately, he was discovered in time, otherwise the animals would have been scared to death by Maomao.

However, even if they are not dead, they are almost dead. After all, animals are naturally intimidated by the powerful fighting ability and majestic appearance of the top predator, the tiger.

Therefore, even though they were not directly harmed, the animals in the shed were still afraid of the beast's aura on Maomao.

They didn't die on the spot, just shit and urine flew everywhere. This shows that the psychological endurance of these animals is quite good.

Lin Xiaoyue was woken up from her sleep by the patrol personnel. She was very grumpy when she got up, but she knew not to vent her anger on innocent people. Instead, she beat Maomao Pang up and dragged it to the yard where she slept like a dead dog. She ordered it not to harass those living creatures that were so scared that they could hardly stand and were trembling, otherwise she would not give it any barbecue to eat.

This threat just made its fur become extremely silky, and it prostrated itself on the ground, hesitating and whimpering like a kitten, pitiful and expectant.

Lin Xiaoyue was also helpless. How bored must Maomao have been during this period of time that he would run to the barn to have fun?

"You're not sleeping in the middle of the night, are you being worthy of Zhou Gong?" Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Maomao's ear and taught it a lesson, asking it to be obedient. If it really couldn't calm down, it could go hunting in the nearby mountains to feed itself.

Maomao was helpless. Did it not want to go? It couldn't go, okay?

Who was it that killed the Wild Boar King before? The wild boars on these hills hate it so much that they turn around and run away when they see it. Who else would want to play with it?

The patrol officers saw that Lin Xiaoyue had "restrained" Maomao, and they felt relieved when she was watching over him. They no longer had to worry about being swallowed by a giant insect that suddenly jumped out of nowhere in the middle of the night.

It’s just that some people are happy and some are sad, and human beings’ joys and sorrows are different.

Lin Xiaoyue was gorgeously driven out by Miao and went to another room to rest.

The next day, everyone's first reaction was to run to the barn to see what happened to the frightened animals.

Last night, the chickens and ducks who were frightened by Maomao and had heart attacks did not even make it to dawn, and simply went to report to the Yama Palace.
