Traveling through 1942 with space

Chapter 68: The First No-Cost Transaction

In this way, Hou Xiaoge sat beside Erda, changing the wet towel every once in a while and feeding him some spiritual spring water every once in a while.

By the evening, the hard work paid off. Some of the people in Erdahou had a low fever that had finally subsided. Although they still had some weakness when speaking, they knew they were hungry, which was a good sign. They had finally made it through.

Looking at Erda eating the broth with big mouthfuls, although Second Aunt's face was full of tears, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

After the meal, everyone took advantage of Erda's recovery to make some medicine and apply ointment on his arm.

"Aunt, I'm kneeling down for you. Please give some of the medicine to my Zhuzi! I'll exchange it with horse meat, please." Hou Xiaoge, who was squinting his eyes to check the space, was awakened by a wailing sound.

"Sister, what's going on over there? Who is crying?" Hou Xiaoge didn't like to watch the fun, so she asked the elder sister beside her.

"Goudan's mother, Niuwa's mother, and a few other injured people at home came to ask Second Aunt for medicine after she boiled it." Hou Xiazhu said happily. These medicines were made by her younger brother, and she was happy.

Well, this excitement is actually at home! Hou Xiaoge couldn't continue to sleep, he had to join in the fun.

She rubbed her squinting face and came to the crowd. At this time, Second Aunt was surrounded by the relatives of the injured, and there were five women and seven or eight children kneeling on the ground.

"You guys go back! My family member was shot by a musket and is still unconscious! Your family members all have knife wounds, which are much lighter than my family member's." Second Aunt cherished this hard-earned medicine very much, and naturally did not want to share it with others.

Hou Xiaoge realized that something bad would happen sooner or later if things continued like this, so he quickly spoke up to smooth things over.

"Aunts, my second aunt can't handle the matter. The medicine was obtained by my uncle. You can go ask my uncle. He is the elder of the clan and will definitely help you." Hou Xiaoge said to divert the conflict.

"Yes, let's go find Yangmin. Yangmin is the clan elder now, and he can't bear to watch the man of our family die." Several women were fooled by Hou Xiaoge and quickly got up to find their uncle.

At this time, Hou Yangmin was chatting with some elders of the tribe. He saw several women rushing over, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, and he was also confused.

"What's wrong with you guys? It's not a festival, why are you giving me such a big gift?

And those women, I don't know you, whose wives are you?" Hou Yangmin was also confused and quickly stopped them.

"Yangmin, please save our boss! He has had a fever since this morning and is now a little confused."

"Yes! Yangmin, you are now the elder of the clan, you can't watch our head die. If our head dies, we won't be able to survive."

“Old Hou, we are from the Liu, Song, and Wang families.

I saw your family making medicine, and I hope you can save my man because he helped you drive away the bandits yesterday!"

After several women from the same village and six or seven other villages finished talking, they pulled their children and knelt down, kowtowed to Hou Yangmin continuously.

"This, this, what should I do?" Hou Yangmin felt like he was sitting on a candle, at a loss.

"Yangmin, you should agree first. Let them all go, otherwise it will easily cause chaos.

After the people leave, if there is any extra medicine, try to help the villagers. As for those in other villages, I will have someone notify the elders of their villages!" The Fifth Master on the side was obviously much more experienced, and quickly leaned over to Hou Yangmin's ear and whispered advice.

Hou Yangmin had been an ordinary citizen for half his life and had never seen such a scene. He felt proud but also a little at a loss. When he heard his fifth uncle's suggestion, he quickly did it.

After all the women and refugees who had come to watch the fun had left, everyone sat together to discuss the matter.

There weren't many medicines, and Hou Yangmin, who had calmed down, naturally didn't want to share them with others. After all, he didn't know how much his own brother would need!

But the situation was like this, and Hou Yangmin was now a clan elder, so he had no choice but to allocate a part of his power to stabilize the clan members.

However, Hou Yangmin did not suffer any loss. The clan compensated him with two dollars and also gave him ten kilograms of horse meat.

According to my nephew, he spent two dollars on the medicinal materials, plus he spent four dollars on the supplements he made later. Now that he has collected so many things and money, he still has a small amount of medicine left, so he has made a lot of money.

However, after selling it to the villagers, Hou Yangmin is still a little worried.

Elders and refugees from other villages kept coming to look for medicine, but there was really not much left. Hou Yangmin also had to take care of his own brother, so he couldn't sell it. He felt like he was being roasted on the fire for a while.

"Hei Wa, you bastard.

Who told you to tell them to look for me? You are putting your uncle on the fire!" Hou Yangmin scolded Hou Xiaoge after returning to the camp.

"Hehe! Uncle, if I hadn't said this, those people who came to ask for medicine would probably overturn Second Aunt's medicine jar!

Not only will the medicinal materials be lost, but people will also be offended. How can it be like now, the medicine is kept and so much meat is gained. "Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Brother, Heiwa is right. There were a lot of people surrounding my second sister-in-law at that time. If things weren't handled properly, something bad would have happened." My uncle-in-law also spoke up.

"Ugh!"

Hou Yangmin sighed heavily after hearing this.

"Uncle, let me tell you something. The herbal farmer who sold me medicine at noon should come again tomorrow morning.

I told him at noon that I would bring medicine tomorrow and I would exchange meat and food with him. Meat and food are much more scarce than money, so he will definitely come back then.

If there are more villagers coming to ask for medicine, you can first send out the dregs of the medicine that we boiled tonight, and then say that you will go out to look for herbs tomorrow. "

Hou Xiaoge also felt a little bit reluctant to see the victims who had fought against the bandits survived the bandits but died of illness on the way, so he prepared to take out some medicinal herbs to help them.

"Is this true? You dare not lie to me, kid." Hou Yangmin was startled and grabbed Hou Xiaoge as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Really? How could I lie to you? The herbalist said he still had a lot of herbs in his home, but as an old man he didn't dare to sell more.

I am just a child, the old man is not that afraid of me, he will sell me some, if there is really food and meat, let me exchange it with him tomorrow." Hou Xiaoge made up a story.

"Okay, bring 20 kilograms of bran and these 10 kilograms of horse meat tomorrow and replace all the medicines." Hou Yangmin said excitedly.

"Okay, it's getting dark, let's go to bed early! I'm a little sleepy too." Hou Xiaoge had important things to do tonight and didn't want to fool people anymore. It was too tiring.

After Erda's fever subsided this afternoon, his complexion gradually recovered a lot. In the evening, Second Aunt made a special meat soup for Erda. After drinking the medicine, Erda snored loudly in his sleep, so Second Aunt didn't need to stay up late to take care of him tonight.

After everyone fell asleep, Hou Xiaoge went straight back to the space to catch up on his sleep, so that he could sleep twice as long.

After waking up, Hou Xiaoge looked at the large barrel hourglass he made in the space, and found that almost nine hours had passed.

After having a simple meal of roujiamo and a bowl of millet porridge in the space, Hou Xiaoge quietly left the camp.

About two miles out of the camp, Hou Xiaoge released the fat and strong horse he had raised from the space, and the horse ran towards a mountain in the west.

That’s right, Hou Xiaoge is going to the bandit’s lair tonight.

The people in the village knew exactly where the bandits were nearby. Yesterday's fight between the refugee group and the bandits was such a big deal, so naturally Xiaojie Village was in an uproar today.

At noon today, Hou Xiaoge also learned from nearby villagers where the bandit nest that attacked the refugee camp yesterday, Huangfeng Mountain, is located.

"Damn it, I'm so shaken to death." When they reached the foot of Huangfeng Mountain, Hou Xiaoge rubbed his butt and grimaced.

Without a saddle, Hou Xiaoge just sat on the horse's back and ran for nearly twenty miles. His butt was shaking so much that he felt like it was not his own.

Fortunately, Hou Xiaoge had some experience in riding horses in his previous life, and the horse became smarter and more obedient after being put into the space, otherwise it would have fallen apart and been left on the road.

"Good horse, go back and eat some grass and rest!" Hou Xiaoge touched the horse's head and put the wet horse into the space.

After collecting the horses, Hou Xiaoge released his mental power all the way and quietly began to climb up the mountain.

Hou Xiaoge had climbed too many mountains in Qin Province in his previous life, so Huangfeng Mountain, a small hill of four or five hundred meters, was nothing to him.

After climbing for about an hour, we finally found the building.

Fortunately, Hou Xiaoge had the blessing of mental strength, so he could see things at night as clearly as in the daytime, otherwise he would not have been able to discover the bandit sentries hiding in the dark.

However, the bandit's secret sentry was sleeping soundly in his dugout at this time, and had no intention of standing guard at all.

After bypassing more than a dozen traps set by the bandits, Hou Xiaoge arrived at the bandits' stronghold.

I don’t know if it was because too many people died or for some other reason, but the bandits’ defense was very poor. There were only two bandits guarding the wall of the stronghold, and they were both asleep.

The stone wall of the village was four or five meters high. Hou Xiaoge took out the ladder he had prepared in advance from the space and climbed up quietly.

Using his mental power all the way to avoid the bandits on night duty, Hou Xiaoge finally entered the bandit's lair.

There is a village wall outside, but most of the people live in caves. After Hou Xiaoge entered the bandit's lair, he did not rush, but explored the terrain first.

"There is a cliff of more than 30 meters at the back mountain. We will go down from here in a while." There was a hemp rope in Hou Xiaoge's space. He went in and measured it. The length was enough if three or four bundles were connected together.
