Traveling through 1942 with space
Chapter 97 Eating noodles
The mental control range of fifty meters is already very large, and the ability to control objects weighing hundreds of kilograms is equivalent to carrying countless pistols with you, making your defense and attack already invincible.
Hou Xiaoge was just about to conduct an experiment when he looked up and saw a black dog bullying refugees not far away. The corners of his mouth slightly raised.
"Within forty meters, the position is just right, I'll use you to test the waters!"
Hou Xiaoge exerted his mental strength, and a fist-sized stone at the feet of the black dog that was beating the refugees bounced up directly, aiming at the black dog's lower body and making a sudden move.
"Ah! Oh my gosh."
The black dog's smug face turned pale in an instant, and he fell to the ground, covering his lower body and wailing.
On the other side, the refugee who was bullied by the black dog also changed his expression slightly. He stopped begging for mercy and got up and ran away.
The black dog's companion wanted to catch the refugees, but just as he raised his legs, he felt his calves were restrained by something. He stumbled and fell flat on his face, with blood all over his face and a nosebleed.
Seeing this, the indignant refugees around were afraid of being implicated and ran away in an instant.
"Hmph! You all eat and drink the people's food, and you sit on the people's heads and pee and shit all day long, acting tyrannically. Today, I will teach you a profound lesson on behalf of the King of Hell." Hou Xiaoge looked at the two people lying on the ground wailing in the distance, muttered to himself, and withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
After a long while, Heipi, whose face was covered in blood from his nose, supported Dadan, who was wailing, and they limped off the street.
The streets outside were too chaotic, and Hou Xiaoge didn't dare to sleep. He and his uncle-in-law scanned the streets, waiting for his uncle and others to come.
"Heiwa, look, isn't that my father and the others?" Hou Xiaoge was scanning the surroundings with his mental power, and was aroused by Erhuan's shout.
"You little brat, why are you yelling like that?" Hou Cuiping was relieved to see her elder brother and the villagers return safely.
In a short while, hundreds of people from the village sat down against the wall where Hou Xiaoge's family was resting. Everyone was talking and laughing, as if celebrating the new life.
"Xinmin, little sister, are you and the baby okay?" Hou Yangmin also ran over excitedly to check on the family members.
"Brother, I'm fine! We just had dinner.
This Qin Province is great, a bowl of white flour porridge only costs one cent, we can survive here!" Hou Cuiping looked at her elder brother, said excitedly, and finally couldn't help crying.
"Good, good! I can survive. Now I can survive." Hou Yangmin's eyes were filled with tears for a moment.
As the adults expressed their true feelings, the children around them also started crying. It was really not easy.
"Uncle, how many people have come from the village? Is everyone okay?" Hou Xiaoge asked his uncle while looking at the villagers leaning against the wall to enjoy the cool air.
“This time, including our family, there are a total of 176 people coming here, and there are still more than 60 people who haven’t gotten on the bus.
It was just that the weather was too hot, and the train was bumpy, so it was a pity that a child and two elderly people didn’t make it. Now there are 173 people left, including our family!” Hou Yangmin said with a smile on his face.
Hou Xiaoge nodded happily after hearing this. He had seen life and death a lot during this period of time, and losing three people was really good enough.
As for the remaining sixty or so people, they are all strong laborers. Not to mention hitching a ride, they can walk more than a hundred miles to Qin Province.
The first people to arrive in the village just need to beg for food in Tongguan and wait. If things go well, they will arrive tomorrow. If things go badly, it will take at most ten days. The whole village can be reunited by the end of September.
"Uncle, we are in Tongguan now. I think we should go to the city to find my mother." After chatting with his uncle for a while, Hou Xiaoge suggested going into the city to look for his original mother.
"Oh! There have been so many things going on these past two days that I almost forgot about it.
Shuanniu is still young and cannot survive without a mother. I will go talk to Uncle Qi and the others first, and then we will go to the city to look for someone." Hou Yangmin almost forgot, but when he heard Hou Xiaoge's words, he quickly stood up.
After instructing the villagers, Hou Yangmin went into the city with four or five men, his brother-in-law, his eldest cousin, and Hou Xiaoge.
On the way, Hou Xiaoge gave the fifteen cakes he bought to his uncle, asking him to share them with the fellow tribesmen who were helping to find people.
A group of men in their twenties and thirties were stunned for a moment when they were holding the fragrant white flour cakes and could not bear to eat them.
Just for this bite of food, every household lost a lot of people, and just for this bite of food, many people traveled hundreds of miles and became refugees in other places.
It was not until Hou Xiaoge reminded everyone to eat quickly and be careful not to let the food be snatched away by refugees on the roadside that everyone began to eat voraciously.
"Brother Danniu, there's no need to put the food on you, just eat it all!" Hou Xiaoge said with a smile as he watched the young man next to him eat a pancake and carefully put the other one into his clothes.
"Hehe! Cousin Heiwa, I want to take the cake back for my mother to eat." The twenty-something man Da Niu scratched his head embarrassedly and took out the cake again.
"Brother Daniu and several uncles, I am very grateful for your help in finding my mother this time. I will treat you to Qin Province's oil-splashed noodles after we get to the city.
After dinner, everyone should work hard. When we find my mother, I will give you two big fat meat buns from Qin Province." Hou Xiaoge looked at the people who followed him with a grateful look.
"Heiwa, you are such an outsider. We are all relatives, and your father is my cousin! If not helping your relatives, who else can you help?
Besides, if your family hadn't used their connections to get all the villagers on the train, it's not certain whether so many of us could make it to Qin Province alive!" The man next to Hou Yangmin turned his head and looked at Hou Xiaoge, waving his hand and smiling.
After nearly two months of getting along, Hou Xiaoge got to know everyone in the village who was related to him within the five generations. This man was the son of Hou Xiaoge's grandfather's brother, named Hou Mintuan. He was a few years older than his uncle Hou Yangmin, so Hou Xiaoge had to call him cousin.
"Hehe! Uncle, you are right, we are all family. But a family cannot work on an empty stomach. Let's eat first after entering the city. After eating, everyone will have energy to look for people." Hou Xiaoge replied with a smile.
"You kid!"
Seeing that Hou Yangmin did not refute, everyone stopped refusing, but they smiled more.
The city wall of Tongguan County is very tall and majestic, taller and more complete than all the city walls Hou Xiaoge has seen in the Central Plains. The outside of the city wall is covered with blue bricks, worthy of being an ancient fortress.
The black man at the city gate saw that everyone was dressed neatly so he didn't charge any money and let them in.
After entering the city, Hou Xiaoge led everyone directly to a noodle shop that was filled with fragrant aroma.
"Uncle, how much is pulled noodles?" After everyone sat down, Hou Xiaoge quickly ran to the boss to place an order.
"A large bowl costs 10 cents, and a small bowl costs 8 cents." Seeing that there were two tables of people sitting there, the boss did not dare to neglect them and quickly said,
"Can I use French currency to buy the eight-bowl big one?" Hou Xiaoge asked.
"Okay, eight bowls for twenty-four dollars." The boss nodded.
Hou Xiaoge didn't wait for the boss to ask for money. He took out the French currency, counted out twenty-four yuan and handed it to the boss.
"Okay, everyone, sit down and wait for a moment. Pour the noodle soup yourself." After saying this, the boss pointed to the ceramic pot and black ceramic bowl on the table next to him and went about his business.
After the boss left, Hou Xiaoge first counted out eight black pottery bowls and brought them to everyone's table, then picked up the pottery pot and poured a bowl of noodle soup into each person's bowl.
"Hey! The noodle soup is quite thick, this is good stuff." Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the thick noodle soup, and they picked up their bowls to drink it regardless of the heat.
In this way, everyone took a bowl, and the whole pot of noodle soup was finished in less than five minutes.
When the boss saw this, he just twitched his mouth a few times and said nothing. In his opinion, they were all hard-working people, and it was difficult for them to have noodles and drink more noodle soup, so he could still afford it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the noodles are here." In less than ten minutes, the boss and his son brought the bowls of noodles to the table.
Everyone looked at the oily wide noodles splashed with chili peppers and smelled the fragrant aroma of the chili peppers, and in an instant their mouths were watering so much.
"Began to eat!"
No one knew who said something, but everyone picked up the clay bowl, stirred it a few times, and then started eating.
