Chapter 12: Taking Food, Killing
At first, everyone was chattering enthusiastically along the way, but after getting tired from the journey, everyone became dull and no one spoke. They were all half-grown boys. As soon as the freshness wore off, they were troubled by the injuries on their bodies.
Seeing that the group of refugees could already be seen, Wang Jin suddenly said: "Shitou, look at the front to see if Auntie and Zhang San are there."
It turned out that not far away, two figures had separated from the refugee team and were sitting on both sides of the official road, as if waiting for someone.
Li Yi heard the sound and went over, and saw that it was indeed Wang and Zhang San. They were sitting and standing, looking here frequently.
No need to think about it, it must be that when Wang woke up and saw that her son and nephew were all missing, Siai was worried and stayed to wait for them.
You must know that the war is in chaos now. If you don't follow the refugee team, you will die in the wilderness soon. But a weak woman from the Wang family is sitting in the wilderness waiting for them. It is obvious that if they cannot come back, they will die here.
Li Yi's eyes turned red. He threw all the wolf meat on his back to the ground, crawled and ran to Mrs. Wang and knelt down on the ground. He lowered his head and said, "Mom, I'm back."
Seeing her son back safely, Mrs. Wang had already burst into tears. She stroked Li Yi's head without saying a word, and it took a long time before she slowly said: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back."
At this time, Wang Jin also came over. When Wang saw it, she burst into tears. She got up and dragged Wang Jin and kept beating her. She cursed: "You stinky boy, you must have instigated the stone to enter the mountain."
It must be you. What if you two die outside? The ancestors of the Wang family and the Li family don't blame me to death. You bastard."
Wang Jin screamed and begged for mercy. After breaking free from Wang's family, he ran away in a hurry. As he ran, he said aggrievedly: "It's obviously Shitou's idea. It's all my fault for everything."
Li Yi knew that Wang Jin had taken the blame this time, so he quickly comforted Mrs. Wang and said, "My son is unfilial, which makes you worried. But aren't we okay? Not only are we okay, but we also beat a lot of meat.
I'll make some broth for you later."
The son was indeed closer than the nephew. After Li Yi comforted her, Wang was no longer angry, but she pulled Li Yi to kneel down in the direction of his hometown, took him to kowtow to his ancestors respectfully, and said to Li Yi seriously: "This
This time you are fine, it was the ancestors of the Wang family and the Li family who protected you, and you returned safely, please quickly thank the ancestors for their blessing."
There was no other way, so Li Yi had no choice but to kneel on the ground with Wang Jin, pretending to kowtow to his non-existent ancestors, and say a few words of thanks to his ancestors before Wang let them go.
Once the incident was over, Li Yi and the others were not in a hurry to catch up with the team. Instead, they gathered some firewood and began to boil the broth. After a while, the aroma of meat wafted out of the iron pot, making everyone around them drip.
Wearing Harazi.
"Master, this broth is ready, is it ready to eat?" Zhang San walked out from behind Li Si and said cautiously.
Hearing him call him young master, Li Yi was stunned for a moment without reacting. Since he came to this era, others have either called him a stone, or some bad names such as a brat, a castrate and so on. There is really no such high-level title.
Pass.
"Why do you call me that? Master, how can I be a poor man like me?"
Li Yi is also in a miserable state now, with patches of black and red on his face, his clothes are so torn that he can only be tied to his body, and his nine toes are exposed in a pair of shoes. He looks worse than a beggar.
Zhang San chuckled and said: "My wife and I have already made an agreement. As long as you come back safely, Li Si and I will be your servants. We will live with you from now on. I just want the young master and his wife to have meat to eat and give to the villain."
Just some soup."
Listening to Zhang San's shameless words, Li Yi finally understood. The two of them were not here to be servants. They were just eating and drinking with him. But this Zhang San had a flexible mind. Seeing that he was quite strong, he still fought like this.
When Duo Langrou comes back, he knows how to hug his thighs, but it seems that he can't be driven away even if he is chased away.
"Okay, I might starve to death at any time, so you can follow me if you want." Li Yi sighed and said, "You are not just slaves. As long as you know how to contribute, we can help each other survive."
Zhang San smiled with satisfaction, quickly brought a bowl of soup, and handed it to Mr. Wang with a bang. This kid is a thief, and he knows that currying favor with Li Yi is not as effective as currying favor with Mr. Wang.
According to custom, we have to talk after eating, one is to bond with each other, and we can also take a break to eat.
Li Si and Wang Jin couldn't wait to tell what happened, and of course they added fuel and jealousy to it, which frightened Zhang San who didn't go. Finally, Li Yi kicked them all up, helped Wang onto the stretcher, and rushed
Zhang San said: "Do your work when you are full, don't wait for me to urge you."
Li Si and Wang Jin were injured and their recovery ability is poor. Now only Li Yi and Zhang San can contribute.
"Look what the young master said, I, Zhang San, work the hardest, how can I be lazy?" Zhang San patted his chest and said, lifting the stretcher with a bang.
After a good meal of meat, everyone was beaming with joy and there was a lot of color on their faces.
The five people returned to the team, causing people in the team to look at each other, especially the packages Li Yi and the others were carrying. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that there was food inside. Knowing that these people had gained a lot from entering the mountain, they couldn't help but
Secretly envious.
Of course, there are also some people who secretly have evil thoughts.
That night, the faint moonlight filtered through the gaps in the dense clouds, illuminating the ground with a cold and pale color.
Five tall men came from the team, carrying various axes and kitchen knives, and surrounded Li Yi and the others.
The leading man was wearing a red coarse cloth, with trousers full of holes tied tightly around his waist. His exposed chest was covered with thick black hair. He was holding a rusty iron knife in his hand and was pointing at it.
Li Yi's head.
The rest of the people followed the man and surrounded them, holding kitchen knives and axes in their hands. Their eyes were a little unbearable, but they were suppressed by hunger.
"Boy, I heard that you got some food recently. Don't think that you are invincible just because you killed that good-for-nothing Lao Gazi. If you are wise enough to hand over the food, I will spare you."
The man smiled ferociously and brought the iron knife closer.
"Brother Qiang, we only need half, half is enough." Someone behind them couldn't help but say. It was obvious that they were unwilling to do such a thing, but they were so hungry that they had no choice but to go against their own will.
Li Yi glanced at the man silently, took off the baggage from his back and threw it at his feet.
This result was obviously beyond the man's expectation. He smiled proudly, bent down, picked up the bundle from the ground, and when he opened it, he found pieces of cooked meat.
It's actually meat? Surprise burst into the man's eyes. He looked at the package on the backs of Wang Jin and others, and the look of greed on his face became even stronger.
He was so greedy that he didn't see a cruel cold light flashing in Li Yi's eyes.
Without any warning, Li Yi's strong figure jumped out from where he was originally standing, came to the man's side like a ghost, grabbed the opponent's knife-holding arm with his backhand, and clamped it with his steel-plier-like palm.
His wrist suddenly exerted force.
Amidst the crisp cracking of bones and painful screams, the man's entire arm twisted into a weird posture.
"Wait for me…………"
The man screamed in horror, not sure whether he was begging for mercy or doing something, but Li Yi ignored him. Before the others could react, the waist knife in his hand had already been stabbed into the man's abdomen, and there was a muffled "pounce" sound.
The waist knife stained with black blood smoothly penetrated the flesh and blood, and the man's whole body was stuck alive on the cold waist knife, struggling and twitching in pain.
The wind at night had never been so cold, and everyone was alert. The clothes on the corpse were soaked in blood, and there was no breath. Only yellow urine was dripping from the crotch, exuding a disgusting smell.
"Run quickly..."
Some people reacted, screamed in horror, and ran wildly into the distance, while the rest of the people followed and ran away in a hurry.
The huge movement disturbed the nearby refugees. They gathered around and looked at everything happening here with curious and complicated eyes. They looked at Li Yi under the pale moonlight and another villain who died in his hands.
.
After killing four people in succession, and Zhang San telling the truth about their bravery against wolves, Li Yi's reputation began to spread among the refugees. Every refugee who met him would treat him with curiosity and awe.
