Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

As a result, the chefs were all impressed by the barbecue and nodded their heads like crazy. Great, too great, if this business doesn't work out, they can twist their heads off and use them as rattan balls.

This made the hundreds of people who didn't have time to grab the items on the side so envious that their eyes turned red.

But if Xiaocao is roasted by so many people, his hands will be broken from exhaustion.

So, Lin Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "Come on, Xiaocao, grill them again. After that, your team of skilled cooks will take over. Don't worry about wasting ingredients. The most important thing is to practice your skills. Grilling is easy for those who know how to do it, but difficult for those who don't."

She wouldn’t be able to do that anyway, Lin Xiaoyue silently evaluated herself in her heart.

"For those of you who are good at cooking, such a simple barbecue should not be difficult for you. It's nothing more than mastering the heat and practicing a few times. Don't be afraid of wasting ingredients. Look at the group of more than a hundred people watching you like wolves and tigers. Whether the barbecue is good or bad, there will always be someone to eat it."

Yes, people who serve in the military have big appetites, and Lin Xiaoyue is not afraid at all that the grilled meat and vegetables will be wasted.

Even though they had already eaten a round of hotpot before, looking at those people's eyes with wolfish eyes and drooling mouths, it is certain that their stomachs are full but their eyes are not.

So, a dinner was eaten in the evening from 7pm to 1am. In the farm of Le'an Township owner outside Yongzhou City, the lights were still on, and a large group of people were partying all night in the backyard.

That night, the music ends and the crowd disperses, and everything returns to tranquility. However, for some night owls, the night is just the beginning.

tuk tuk tuk

"Come in."

"Master, the things are ready." Two men dressed in black, carrying a large black cloth bag, entered Lin Xiaoyue's room with solemn expressions.

The two men wrapped in black and with agile figures were the second wave of retired scouts recruited by Lin Xiaoyue.

One of them was a beggar named Zeng Jin. After he joined the army, his superiors saw that he was sharp in his actions and promoted him to be a scout.

However, during a mission, he fell into an enemy trap by mistake. Although he risked his life to bring back intelligence, he was left with a lifelong incurable injury and became lame, so he retired from the team.

Another Liu'er, who was a scout like Zeng Jin, was also shot in one eye by a stray arrow while trying to cover Zeng Jin during that mission.

He thought he could not escape death, but Zeng Jin became so stubborn that he refused to leave him alone and escape no matter what, and insisted on going through thick and thin with him.

So, the two brothers, one blind and the other lame, supported each other and managed to escape from the enemy's ambush.

Unfortunately, the two of them retired at the same time and were homeless. With the recommendation of the veteran, they simply went to the village chief's mansion to serve as guards.

Who would have thought that as soon as they met the village chief, they were asked what they had done in the camp before, or what special skills they had. When the two mentioned scouts, the eyes of the thin and inconspicuous village chief opposite them instantly lit up.

As a result, the two were naturally singled out by the village chief to form a reconnaissance team, responsible for gathering all kinds of information.

And tonight is the first time that the two of them carry out the mission of village chief.

The two looked puzzled as they glanced at the squirming black bag in their hands. They couldn't understand why, even as the village chief, he had such a strong interest in this kind of thing.

Of course, the two had also inquired about the situation of this grassroots village chief before joining the village chief's mansion. It was hard to describe the bloody things that happened in her family.

However, since the master had spoken, they, as guards, naturally had nothing to say and just had to follow orders.

The room was dark without any lights on, and everything was hidden in the darkness. The two men stood with their heads bowed, not daring to make any rash moves, let alone spy on their master's expression.

"Okay, I understand. Put the things down."

The two put down the cloth bags as instructed, but did not leave the room.

After a moment, Zeng Jin took a deep breath and lowered his voice, "Master, it is not safe to act late at night. If there is anything, you can ask us to do it."

In the darkness, the two waited for the village chief's response but felt a little uneasy. They were worried that their presumptuous words might offend the master, but when they thought of the things in the bag, they were also worried that the master might hurt them by mistake.

Lin Xiaoyue walked out of the darkness, her eyes as cold as a knife without a trace of emotion, completely different from the smiling woman at the banquet in the backyard.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at the two of them without saying a word, as if she wanted to see through their true thoughts.

When the two saw Lin Xiaoyue dressed in black, they were shocked. They wondered what her master was wearing...

"Do you dare to come with me?" Lin Xiaoyue looked at the two of them with deep eyes as dark as ink, and said slowly, as if asking two friends whether they wanted to go out for a midnight snack in the evening.

Hearing this, the two of them couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat. After all, they were born in the military and had a sense of justice to defend their country. Thinking of the things the master asked them to prepare and the nightgown the master was wearing, the two of them subconsciously felt that there might be some unspeakable secrets on this trip.

Seeing the two of them looking embarrassed and hesitant, Lin Xiaoyue knew that they must have concerns in their hearts. She smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, it's just a family matter."

Speaking of family affairs, the two of them thought of their master's parents who had just gone to the government office to divorce each other a few days ago. The reason for the divorce was widely circulated outside, with various versions available.

Although few people in their village master's mansion knew about the matter, they were both scouts after all. Of course, they did not deliberately investigate their master's affairs, but their instinctive habits had allowed them to detect the hidden truth before others.

Thinking that the master was only a 14-year-old girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage, she had two unreliable parents and had to deal with a lot of dirty things at home. She was even planned by her blood relatives to be married to a half-buried old man as his rd concubine. No one else would do such a heartless thing.

Therefore, after learning about the situation, the two of them felt somewhat sorry for their master.

In addition, since the master said that he was dealing with household affairs, they did not suspect anything and just kept doing their duty as guards. They bowed their heads and said respectfully, "Yes, I will do as the master commands."

Lin Xiaoyue didn't know that her new subordinate was so capable and could find out her family's private affairs so quickly.

But there is nothing that cannot be told to others. Even if she knew, she would not hold them accountable. She would just feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, it's not a decent thing to do.

"Okay, come with me."

……

The night grows deeper and everything is silent. The earth seems exceptionally tranquil under the caress of the moonlight. The occasional sound of horse hooves adds a touch of mystery to the atmosphere.
