Volume 2, Chapter 36: Meeting the Robber

Shangguan Ruoli made a "poof" sound, spit out a mouthful of blood, took off the water hyacinth hanging from his waist, took a sip of spiritual spring water, rinsed his mouth, and then said: "Don't worry, this snake is not very poisonous, it can be saved."

Sister-in-law Li and Niu Niuniang both breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, fourth brother and sister. Thank you, fourth brother and sister."

Shangguan Ruoli washed Niu Niu's wound with spiritual spring water and let her drink a few sips.

Niu Niu hugged the water hyacinth and said with relish: "Sweet!"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "Sugar has been added. Let's go back to the cave to add medicine."

Li Chenglin's wife picked up Niuniu and thanked her again and again.

Suddenly, another horrified cry came from the distance: "Longworm! What a big longworm!"

Shangguan Ruoli was startled, and while running that way, he asked loudly: "Where is it?"

Someone pointed to the grass and said, "Run over there!"

When Shangguan Ruoli took a look, the grass moved slightly, and a gray-brown snake as thick as a child's arm loomed in the grass.

As he ran, he pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it out with a "swipe" on the ground.

With a "pop" sound, the snake was pinned to the ground. The snake struggled desperately, making the grass rattle.

"Ah! Ah!" People nearby screamed and backed away, but still watched curiously from a distance.

Shangguan Ruoli walked a few steps over and saw that it was the kind of snake that bit Niuniu. It had a bad temper and was highly aggressive.

The dagger was not inserted into the seven inches, and the snake was still struggling desperately, which was very scary.

Shangguan Ruoli picked up a stone and threw it at the snake's head. The snake's head was flattened, but its tail was still twisting and wrapped around the dagger, so he pulled out the dagger.

Shangguan Ruoli walked over, stepped on the snake's body, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed it seven inches, killing the snake.

Her flowing movements made everyone stunned.

Third sister-in-law Sun said: "Fourth brother and sister, you were so timid before, how did you become so bold?"

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "How bold is it to kill a snake? I didn't hesitate when I killed someone."

The second sister-in-law Liu said: "No, if I hadn't been more ruthless, I wouldn't be alive now. In order to protect my Sanlang, I even chopped off the head of a mob with a kitchen knife."

Li Chenglin's daughter-in-law echoed: "In this world, timidity and fear are not enough. Every once in a while, honest people are forced to become bold thieves."

Everyone said: "No!"

Shangguan Ruoli picked up the snake on the ground and said, "Let's go back and eat the snake meat. Who let it bite our Niuniu and scare our children?"

Niu Niu, who was originally pale with fright, suddenly lit up her eyes when she heard this and clapped her hands.

Other children also have a sense of relief that a great revenge can be avenged.

If the snake was not caught, many of these children would have nightmares at night.

Some people like to eat snake meat, while others are afraid and dare not eat it.

Ling Yue, as soon as she heard the snake meat, ran outside the cave and vomited it.

Old Mrs. Qian was extremely angry, "Are these four girls stupid? They won't even eat such delicious meat! Her mother caught it!"

Shangguan Ruoli patted Ling Yue on the back and said, "She is afraid of snakes."

Mrs. Qian snorted coldly: "Still not hungry! You are so hungry that you roll your eyes. Let's see if you still vomit! Alas!"

Saying this, he sighed, took out a handful of mountain red from his pocket, and secretly stuffed it into Ling Yue's mouth, "You vomited and your mouth has no taste. It's good to eat this sweet and sour food."

Ling Yue hugged Mrs. Qian's arm and said with a smile: "Thank you, milk!"

Mrs. Qian scolded her with her breath: "Don't scream, no one else will!"

Shangguan Ruoli looked at it and smiled. Mrs. Qian was a bit patriarchal. She didn't like Siya, a little transparent person, but Ling Yue came and kept being nice to Mr. Qian. Now the grandfather and grandson are closer than anyone else.

.

Dongming Ziyu put a piece of snake meat into Shangguan Ruoli's bowl and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "You are about to fall out of favor, and your daughter will take advantage of you."

Dongming Ziyu looked at Mrs. Qian and Ling Yue who were muttering, and also laughed.

After the meal, everyone gathered the wet branches around the fire to bake, and hung the washed clothes on the branches to dry quickly. The children's wet pants and mattresses were also put on the branches to bake.

With so many people in the cave, you can imagine the smell.

Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli would rather wear straw hats and raincoats and go out to find things to do than stay in the cave.

In the evening, Shangguan Ruoli gathered some herbs, picked them up to prevent colds and improve immunity, and cooked them in porridge for everyone to drink, which was better than nothing.

Dongming Ziyu was more tolerant. He led a group of old men and young men and brought back a lot of prey.

In the evening, everyone happily stewed the meat, and the aroma wafted far away. First, a bowl was served to the sentry, so that they could rest assured and not worry about it.

While everyone was having a good time, Dalang, who was on guard outside, ran in and said, "There are people coming! There are many people coming this way!"

"What?!" When everyone heard this, they all became alert.

Dong Chunlei said: "Don't panic, everyone. This is a cave. As long as you hold the door, you'll be fine."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Yes, let me see how many people are here first."

After saying that, he walked out of the cave, and the others ate the meat in the bowl in several mouthfuls, and took out various weapons placed aside.

Dongming Ziyu went out and climbed up to the tree where they were standing guard and saw that there were indeed a lot of people coming. There must have been about 200 people. They were all men, wearing rags and were victims of the disaster.

There are no old, weak, women and children, I'm afraid it's the 'strong ones' who survived the famine.

The gathering of so many mature men has formed a large scale, which is probably not a good thing.

The leader was a bald, sturdy man. In this year of calamity, he had become fat and strong, which showed that the food was good.

He pointed with the hatchet in the direction of the cave where the smoke was coming out, and said loudly: "Did you see it? The scent must be coming from there."

"Haha, brother, we have meat to eat!"

"I know which group they are. There are quite a few of them. They are coming up the mountain."

"When you said that, I also remembered it. There are many old people and children left in that group, and they are all quite energetic. They must have a lot of food!"

"I noticed it too, but they are so outnumbered that I can only look at them warmly."

The bald brother smiled and said: "If you hang out with me, don't be afraid of anyone in the future! There are three hundred of us, but we are all men. We can be popular wherever we go!"

In his hometown, he was a tyrant in the village. He escaped from famine all the way by robbing. With his ruthlessness and leadership, he gradually gathered a group of mobs who were about to starve to death.

When they arrived in front of the cave, they saw Dongming Ziyu and about fifty strong men standing at the intersection with weapons.

When the bald brother saw that there were only a few of them, he laughed and said, "Did you see it? These people dare to take out weapons. Do they want to fight us to the death?"

"Humph, you are really overestimating your capabilities! Brother, let them see how powerful they are! Let's do it!"

The bald brother said: "Brothers, I will keep the little bitches and girls for a while and make them our wives!"

"Thank you, brother!"
