After cooking the meat, it was already late at night, and the bandits did not appear, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.
Most of the houses here have a one-room layout and only one bed. Feng Yi gave the bed to Ma Danna and Luo Sang, pulled a piece of cloth as a partition, and meditated silently outside all night.
That night, everyone took off their long-term precautions and slept extremely peacefully.
Three days passed, and there was still no sign of the bandits. Let alone Feng Yi, even Boss Xiao and the others found it strange. Could it be that those people had changed their temper and stopped robbing food?
Or did they have an accident and all died?
Perhaps it was because of the good but not the bad spirit that just when everyone thought everything was fine, the bandits arrived as promised.
Click, click, click...
A burst of hurried and panicked footsteps disrupted the peace of the village. Feng Yi, who was meditating, immediately opened his eyes and stood up.
"Feng Yi, did you hear it too?"
Madonna woke up from her sleep and asked softly while putting on her coat.
Ma Danna did not enjoy the privilege of being able to sleep on a bed at night with peace of mind. She even took the initiative to propose that three people sleep sideways on the same bed.
Of course, Luosang had to sleep between the two of them.
But Feng Yi refused.
Ma Danna is a young lady who will get married in the future. How can she ruin someone's reputation? Even if no one knows about it, he can't get over this hurdle in his heart.
It's just a matter of not sleeping for a few days, which is a piece of cake for him.
After this period of observation, Ma Danna knew Feng Yi's temperament and was very at ease with him, so she usually closed the curtains at night and took off her coat to sleep in only her underwear.
"You stay in the house and keep an eye on Luo Sang. I'll go out to check on the situation. If there's nothing serious, you don't have to come out."
Feng Yi warned, gently opened the door and walked out, then immediately closed the door.
Boss Xiao and others also woke up, but most of them were disheveled and obviously woke up in a hurry.
The road in the village was already full of people. Feng Yi looked up and saw about thirty people. Although they were wearing ordinary clothes, they were standing in a fairly orderly queue. Everyone had a faint smell of blood on their bodies. It was obvious that they were
Killed alive.
He looked carefully again and frowned slightly. There were about ten people in the team with injuries. The injuries ranged from minor to serious, but they were all new injuries. Two of them were breathing heavily and were out of breath.
I'm afraid, if I don't get treatment in time, I won't be able to survive for a few days.
"It looks like he is really a soldier. Could he be a deserter?"
He stood quietly in the darkness, like a ghost.
The leader of the bandits was a handsome young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties. He ignored the others and kept his eyes on Boss Xiao.
"Boss Xiao."
"Hey, hello, King Zhao, long time no see."
When his name was read, Boss Xiao hurried over and showed his kindness with a smile on his face.
King Zhao was unmoved and still had a calm expression: "I haven't seen you for such a long time, but Boss Xiao still recognizes me. It's really touching."
Boss Xiao was so fed up that he did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face. He smiled and said: "How could it be possible? King Zhao's heroic appearance is unforgettable."
"Okay, stop flattering me."
King Zhao moved his nose and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "The food has been pretty good lately, such a strong smell of meat..."
"We are also lucky. We shot a wild boar two days ago. Knowing that you were coming, we had already prepared it in advance. We will bring it out to you and your brothers right now."
This was Feng Yi's request. He said that when the bandits came, he would take the initiative to give them some of the meat at home.
As for the reason, he didn't say anything, and others didn't dare to ask.
Now no one can shake Feng Yi's position, and no one questions his words, which are comparable to imperial edicts.
King Zhao also found it interesting. When he came here before, Boss Xiao and the others saw that they dared to be angry but dared not speak out, and everyone was holding back their anger. Today, it was strange, and their attitude was quite cooperative.
But when Boss Xiao and others took out the meat, Boss Zhao and the others couldn't suppress the gasps and swallowing of saliva.
Having just experienced a big battle, and having traveled such a long way, with only cold water to drink, everyone was hungry and had their hearts on their backs. There was no reason not to be greedy after seeing so much marinated pork.
"King Zhao, there are more than one hundred kilograms of meat here in total. After we hunted the wild boar, we thought you would come, so we marinated some in advance."
"Okay, I did a good job this time. I accept your wishes. I will definitely compensate you if I have the opportunity in the future."
King Zhao said as he ordered people to move the meat.
"To say compensation is too outlandish. It's just our little thought..."
Boss Xiao said with an apologetic smile.
King Zhao didn't speak anymore, and was about to lead people away when a slightly shrill male voice in the team said: "Wait a minute."
The speaker is also a man in his mid-twenties, with a long face, narrow eyes, a somewhat gloomy expression, and a somewhat scheming look.
"Liu San, what's your problem?"
King Zhao looked at Liu San and narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and said slowly.
"Your Majesty, isn't the weight of this meat wrong?"
Liu Sanpi said with a smile but not a smile.
"Isn't more than a hundred kilograms of marinated meat enough?"
King Zhao asked rhetorically.
"not enough!"
Liu San stood up and said: "Brothers are going through life and death every day, living a precarious life. Maybe one day they will be gone. The one hundred kilograms of meat given to each person is only three kilograms. How many meals is enough?"
Do I know that a wild boar weighs at least four to five hundred pounds, so you just use this thing to fool us, and you don’t want it anymore?"
By the end of the sentence, he had pointed the gun at Boss Xiao's head!
"Liu Sanye, we also have to eat. There are nearly twenty living people in the village, big and small, and they haven't seen meat for ten days and a half. We finally caught a wild boar, but we are not willing to eat it. I want to survive."
Spend this winter..."
Liu Laosan interrupted him angrily: "Don't do this to me, take out the rest of the meat!
You are so capable, you can catch a wild boar in this weather, and you can definitely catch the next one, so what are you doing with so much meat?"
Boss Xiao looked embarrassed and looked at King Zhao pitifully: "This..."
"Okay Liu Laosan, it's not easy for Boss Xiao and the others. They are all hungry and skinny. It's great to be able to take the initiative to take out these.
Wild boars are extremely ferocious. They must have gone through many dangers to catch them. We have gained something for nothing..."
In the shadows, Feng Yi looked at King Zhao who was speaking and Liu Laosan with murderous intent in his eyes, and smiled secretly.
Liu Laosan interrupted King Zhao before he could finish his words: "King Zhao, I treat you as a brother and I will call you my last name!
What did you say when we ran out, to make us believe you, and also said that you would take us to eat delicious food and drink spicy food, but as a result, the brothers hid here and there like lost dogs every day, and they didn't even have enough to eat.
!
Four more brothers died today, and it seems that two more will not survive for a few more days. Is this what you promised?
Let me tell you, you must ask them to bring out all the meat today, and call all their ladies out so that the brothers can satisfy their greed!
As long as you agree, I will recognize you as the boss.
If you don’t agree…”
Liu Laosan smiled coldly and quickly pointed the gun at King Zhao's head.
