Li Dan's body lay there for half a day. At night, 002 was still guarding Li Dan's body, while Xiong Bufan and Kongkong were cricketing.

Xiong Bufan: "What do you think he's doing there?"

After thinking for a moment, Kongkong said, "Why wait around to see if the corpse is edible? We should start boiling water first."

"Eating people is bad. I think he's gone mad. He's so pitiful, both poor and stupid."

002 looked back at Xiong Bufan and saw that Xiong Bufan was staring at her with regret and shaking his head. 002 thought to himself: I was just thinking about how to dispose of the body, what kind of look was Xiong Bufan giving me?

Xiong Bufan was still muttering to himself when 002 calmed himself down and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Hurry up and think of a way to deal with this corpse, or it will rot in a couple of days."

"Aren't you going to eat?"

002 admitted he wasn't a good person and was a little hungry, but he hadn't reached the point of eating a corpse, which was his former master. "I don't eat this stuff. You beat him up. You'd better find a place to dispose of him."

Xiong Bufan knew he had misunderstood 002, but he still said confidently, "If you beg me, I'll dispose of the body."

It's not good to leave the body here. It will start to rot in a couple of days and will definitely attract the soldiers. Burying it in the yard is something 002 can't accept, so 002 gritted his teeth and said to Xiong Bufan, "I beg you to move the body away."

Xiong Bufan picked up a piece of cloth, wrapped it around Li Dan, and carried Li Dan in a ball on his back. It was impossible to tell that Xiong Bufan was carrying a person. Under 002's surprised gaze, Xiong Bufan jumped over the wall triumphantly.

002 cleaned up Li Dan's bloodstains, and the huge weight in his heart finally lifted. No one would know anything about 002, and he was finally free.

Xiong Bufan returned home before dark. 002 was surprised by how quickly Xiong Bufan returned. "Where did you throw the body? How did you get back so fast?"

"That's a secret. You'd better hurry up and cook for me." With that, Xiong Bufan took out a few pieces of silver and tossed them to 002.

Kongkong kicked Li Dan far away, and even used a separate space to hide Li Dan.

Xiong Bufan went out for a while but found no good place to hide the body, so he hid it in his spatial storage. He planned to throw it out when he found a good place.

There's no firewood at home, and the firewood is rusty. 002 can only use the loose silver to buy some food that can be eaten directly. Tomorrow, he'll ask the blacksmith to make a big pot and buy some more firewood, then he can probably cook at home.

However, the most important thing right now is to add a bed to the room. 002 doesn't want to sleep on the table anymore. Although the table is warmer than the floor, you can't stretch your legs out, and sleeping on it feels like torture.

The two lived a simple and ordinary life. 002 cooked, while Xiong Bufan lay in the courtyard. They were living a good life with food, drink, and servants. However, Xiong Bufan occasionally liked to go out and watch the excitement.

This world is not good at all. There is no fine food, and no good TV dramas. Xiong Bufan can only go out to the street to watch the excitement after breakfast.

After walking through the familiar streets, Xiong Bufan strolled to a more distant and affluent area to join the festivities. As soon as he arrived at the bustling area, Xiong Bufan was attracted by the exquisite food on the street. He took out a few copper coins to buy some to try, but it turned out that just a small piece of pastry cost thirty copper coins, while pork only cost twenty-five copper coins per pound.

Xiong Bufan hesitated for a long time with the copper coin in hand, but finally took out a small piece of silver and handed it to the stall owner. The stall owner wrapped up five or six pastries for Xiong Bufan, gave two to Kongkong and left one for 002. Xiong Bufan then stuffed them all into his mouth. The pastries didn't seem to taste particularly good, far inferior to the cakes from the previous world. Thirty copper coins seemed too expensive.

Feeling cheated, Xiong Bufan took out the pastries he had given to 002 and went to the stall owner to make up for his loss, saying, "I want to return these."

The pastries were carefully wrapped in paper by Xiong Bufan. The stall owner, a young woman, refused, saying, "It's a small business, so there are no refunds."

Xiong Bufan, unwilling to give up, said, "Why don't you give me back some of the money, and I'll give you back this pastry?"

The girl thought Xiong Bufan was there to cause trouble, so she took out a hidden shovel to shoo him away, saying, "Go away, go away! This is just a small business, I can't afford your fuss. If you don't like it, why did you buy it in the first place?"

Xiong Bufan, being an educated man, tried to reason with the girl, saying, "I haven't eaten it, why can't I return it? You're deceiving consumers."

A consumer? A flicker of excitement crossed the girl's eyes. Could it be someone from her hometown? But she quickly composed herself and lowered her head.

As more and more people gathered around, the girl opened her purse and gave Xiong Bufan twenty copper coins. "I can only give you this much because you've disturbed my business." After saying that, the girl took the pastries back and put them on her own stall.

Xiong Bufan took the twenty copper coins and went to find other food. Among all the snack vendors, only the girl's snacks were the most expensive. In order to find out the difference between the snacks, Xiong Bufan bought snacks from all the other stalls. In the end, he found that the girl's snacks were indeed tastier.

Xiong Bufan licked his lips, stuffed all the snacks into his mouth, and then realized he hadn't bought any food for 002. So he went to a cheap stall and bought some more for 002 to take back.

While munching on a snack in the space, Kongkong said to Xiong Bufan, "Bufan, someone is following us. Let's not go home yet!"

Xiong Bufan strolled into a quiet alley. "I smell it. It smells the same as the girl who sells pastries."

At the end of the alley was a wall, next to which were a few houses, but the gates were all tightly closed during the day. Xiong Bufan stood by the wall, looking out of the alley, and calmly said, "You've all been following us, come out."

The person who came out was a handsome man. He was holding a stick and said to Xiong Bufan, "I heard you went to a snack stall to cause trouble. Since you are a girl, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Go apologize to the stall owner and promise not to show your face in front of her again, and I'll let you go."

Xiong Bufan carefully placed the pastries on the ground, then rushed towards the man with his bare hands. "You ganged up on me!" he shouted, punching the man in the face. He used a bit too much force, knocking out several of the man's teeth.

The man swung a stick at Xiong Bufan, saying, "I don't hit women, but you asked for this."

Without saying a word, Xiong Bufan snatched the stick and threw it aside. He then kicked the man in the stomach, sending him flying until he crashed into the front door of a house. Xiong Bufan ran after him.

Kongkong suddenly screamed, "Bufan, stop! Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"

This is the chosen one of the world's destiny, someone with great fortune like Qiao Qiqi. If you cripple us, we'll be kicked out!

The foot above the man's face stopped. Xiong Bufan withdrew his strength, spat at the man, picked up the snack, stuffed it into his pocket, and left the alley without looking back.

If Kongkong hadn't stopped her, Xiong Bufan would have crippled the man. She never lets anyone who provokes her get away with it, and this time the man was lucky.

The man didn't know why Xiong Bufan had stopped, but seeing that Xiong Bufan had left, he quickly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and limped away from the alley.

When the girl selling snacks saw that she couldn't sell them, she packed up and went home. Anyway, it was almost lunchtime, and Brother Niu was still waiting for her to come home.

In a small courtyard, a man with a bruised and swollen face was busy preparing lunch.

The girl selling snacks pushed open the door. "Brother Aniu, I'm back! What delicious food are you making today? I can smell it from far away."

Ah Niu put down his work, turned to look at the girl, and said, "Yu Jie is back. Put down your snacks and wash your hands before eating."

Qiao Yujie went over to help, only to see A Niu limping, with even his handsome face showing abrasions. "Brother A Niu, where did you go today? How did you get injured?"

Ah Niu said with evasive eyes, "I've been at home the whole time. I just accidentally tripped and fell."

Qiao Yujie: "Brother A Niu, you're so careless. Be slower next time, or it'll hurt a lot if you fall."

"Stop talking about me, let's go eat. How's business at the stall today?"

……

A Niu was found by Qiao Yujie two years ago when she was collecting herbs on the mountain. When he woke up, he had amnesia. Qiao Yujie has been raising him ever since. The land in the village was taken back, and there were no valuable herbs to be found on the mountain. So Qiao Yujie took her savings and came to the capital with A Niu to find some work, making some pastries, thinking that this would be enough to support the two of them.

However, most people in the capital were poor, and no one bought pastries. Qiao Yujie had to find other ways to survive; she couldn't just sit around and do nothing.
