As soon as he left the town, Wu Dong was surrounded by beggars who had been waiting for a long time.
"How is Brother Dong? Can you eat the flowing water table provided by Mr. Huang?"
"Brother Dong, if you don't come back, we're going to go directly there!"
"Brother Dong, Brother Dong, what good things did you bring?"
"..."
His ears were filled with the chirping sounds of the beggars, and an unpleasant smell lingered at the tip of his nose. Wu Dong reluctantly showed the straw paper bag in his hand, and said angrily: "Have faith in me, here are hot steamed buns and steamed buns, let's hurry up
Click back and enjoy!”
Amidst the cheers of the little beggars, Wu Dong quickly returned to the ruined temple that had been roughly cleaned, handed the papyrus parcels to the young men who were already salivating, and let them grab the steamed buns and buns he had brought.
Amidst the continuous sounds of delicious food, he chuckled and went directly to the forest behind the ruined temple to find some herbs specifically for colds.
Returning to the dilapidated temple, a group of beggars who were still unsatisfied after eating buns and steamed buns were lying lazily in the sun and squinting their eyes to rest.
"What are you doing, lying still after eating? Get up and clean the temple!"
He yelled, ignoring the dissatisfied murmurs of the little beggars, and directly threw the freshly washed herbs in his hands into the broken clay pots on the fire rack.
After a while, the ruined temple was enveloped by a pungent smell of medicine, once again attracting the dissatisfaction of a group of beggars.
After he and the two little beggars who were still suffering from colds took the medicinal soup, and then directed a group of little beggars to clean the inside and outside of the ruined temple, it was already mid-afternoon and the sun began to set in the west.
Looking at the newly cleaned dilapidated temple, Wu Dong nodded with satisfaction. As long as he lit the cordyceps, at least he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked by Xiaoqiang when he went to bed at night.
"Brother Dong, I'm hungry. I wonder if there are any hot steamed buns tonight?"
"Yes, Brother Dong, I'm hungry too. The steamed buns I had for lunch are no longer useful. It would be great if I could still have steamed buns in the evening!"
"Brother Dong, what are the arrangements for the evening? How about we go to the town to beg for food as we did in the past?"
"..."
What a waste of money!
Wu Dong was a little dumbfounded, knowing that his little beggars had tasted the sweetness and asked him to continue to eat at the Huang family's running water banquet and bring them hot buns and steamed buns by the way.
Yes, who wants to eat cold dishes and rice that taste sour when you can eat hot steamed buns?
Not to mention that there will be leftovers left on the running water banquet. Ordinary townspeople and poor townspeople are not allowed to lick the greasy and watery plates clean?
As for the leftovers from the dinner, wouldn’t the Huang family’s servants share the profits? How could the unpopular little beggar get his turn?
If they really went to beg for food, they would probably only get some leftovers from the Huang family servants, and I don’t know if they had been stored for a few days and had not spoiled.
"You can eat steamed buns if you want, but you have to do something with me first!"
Wu Dong smiled softly and was not angry. Even he himself needed to eat enough and cultivate his body most at this time. As for practicing martial arts again, he would have to wait until his body recovered to a certain level before he could proceed.
Ignoring the curious inquiring beggars, leaving the two who had a cold and the youngest behind, he took the rest of the beggars to the forest at the back of the mountain.
Dig holes, pick up branches and make traps...
That's right, he resumed his old profession when he lived in the mountain village of Evil Tiger Village in his previous life.
Even though all of them, including him, were little beggars with little fighting ability, his target was not large wild animals in the mountains and forests. He only needed to capture some small herbivorous wild animals such as pheasants and mountain rabbits.
Under his demonstration and guidance, the little beggars who followed quickly got started.
Not only did he help dig many traps, but he also placed several cages in the rivers in the mountains and forests, waiting for the fish and shrimps in the river to come to his door.
There were also some edible mountain products, and Wu Dong and his brothers picked a lot of them.
Not to mention anything else, the wild vegetables and mountain products they picked were enough to support their food needs for several days.
The little beggars were very surprised. They never knew that Big Brother Dong had the ability to identify herbs and lay traps.
Fortunately, they are all young. Although life has made them mature early, their minds are not too sharp and they have no intention of exploring what is wrong.
Wu Dong could not care about the possible exposure. He must find a way to restore his current physical condition as soon as possible and enter the martial arts self-improvement mode as soon as possible.
The original owner of the body had been begging and was severely malnourished.
Apart from anything else, no one would believe that he was almost fifteen years old with his scrawny figure of just over 1.2 meters tall.
The Huang family's running water mat was only open for three days. When the time passed, he couldn't really go begging like the original owner of the body, right?
In addition, during lunch, he also learned some information from the poor townspeople at the same table.
Just the word "foreigners" and their demeanor when discussing "foreigners" gave him a rough idea of the background of the current era.
In the current era, although the social order has not completely collapsed, the "Qing Dynasty" cannot last long, and chaos is gradually beginning to arise in the local areas.
Especially in coastal areas like Foshan, which are directly facing foreigners, the situation is quite complicated and can even be said to be chaotic.
If he couldn't properly regulate his body and bones as soon as possible and possess a certain amount of self-protection force, when the troubled times of the late Qing Dynasty really came, then he and his younger brothers would be in a very dangerous situation.
From the various aspects of the world where Evil Tiger Village is located, it can be seen that Wu Dong has a stable temperament, or that he is unwilling to take risks and has a very "stoic" nature.
Although the current situation is much more difficult than when he was in Evil Tiger Village, he is not without the ability to turn around.
Survival and self-improvement are the top priorities at the moment, and as for possible exposure, I don't care about that much at all.
Besides, even if the little beggar under his command is suspicious, is it possible that he can still shout so loudly that it becomes known to everyone?
Once they have seen and enjoyed the benefits brought by Wu Dong's changes, even if they have any thoughts in their hearts, they will not easily destroy such good things.
Of course, these are just considerations in Wu Dong's mind. At the moment, it is more practical to solve the problem of food and clothing first.
After placing the collected wild vegetables and mountain products properly and instructing his younger brothers to take good care of them, he went back to the town to eat and drink under the expectant eyes of the little beggars.
It's still a table at the corner of the street, and the young steward Tian Qi is still responsible for the order here.
Seeing Wu Dong coming leisurely, Tian Qi did not stop him and even said hello politely.
There was no way, in Tian Qi's view, Wu Dong's temperament was incompatible with the poor townspeople at the same table, and he guessed that he was probably a young man from a poor family.
Although such an existence is now in decline, who knows if there are still connections that will suddenly turn around?
