Chapter 1002 Farewell to Lucky Town
"So cruel?"
"What's there to be angry about? They deserved it for stealing chickens and dogs!"
In my opinion, it's a good fold!
If I had that ability, I would have just chopped off Dao Jiu and his dozen or so hooligans!
The two got more and more into their conversation. A waiter from the restaurant, who was supervising them not far away, noticed that they were making a bit too much noise and walked over and coughed lightly twice.
"Alright, stop talking about things you shouldn't be talking about!"
You should just do your jobs properly and avoid causing trouble.
The customers needed this cured meat urgently.
"Get the job done quickly, and the shopkeeper will give you a bonus!"
Upon hearing this, the two men shrank back and continued working.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing and her group, whom they were talking about, were having a meal on the second floor of the restaurant.
As for the thief sneaking into the backyard last night, it was just a minor incident for them.
Having been fleeing famine for so long, they had long been accustomed to arranging for people to be on duty during their rest periods.
Even after arriving in the seemingly peaceful Rongyang Town, they didn't miss anything.
Actually, the soldiers spotted those petty thieves when they followed us yesterday afternoon.
However, seeing that there weren't many of them, they didn't take action directly, but instead reported it to Bai Song.
After Bai Song realized there were only a few people, he didn't pay much attention.
I just left a few more people in the backyard before going to bed.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, these thieves scaled the wall and entered the backyard.
But as soon as they climbed over the wall, before they could even take a few steps forward, they were pinned down by the ambushers.
After some torture, it was discovered that these men were just petty thugs in town who would steal money on a small scale.
The soldiers didn't even bother to wake Bai Song from his sleep; they simply gagged him, broke his arm, and threw him out.
After experiencing this ordeal, Dao Jiu and his companions realized that everyone in the inn was a ruthless individual.
He didn't dare utter a sound, packed his things overnight, and hid in a nearby village.
At night, Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang slept in the space.
Since there was no major commotion outside, they only heard about it the next day.
This matter was only mentioned briefly during breakfast, and then it was forgotten.
At this moment, Lu Qingqing, Bai Song, and the others, having finished their meal, leaned back in their seats and chatted idly.
As they talked, they mentioned Sun Laohai's family.
When Bai Song heard them mention Sun Laohai, he thought of how he rarely showed kindness by giving money to someone.
He felt a pang of emotion when talking about this family.
"It's been quite a while now, and I still don't know if Old Sun's family has made it into the city yet."
That week, Steward Zhou promised me that if I saw them outside, I would definitely bring them into the city.
Old Zhuang couldn't help but sigh as he thought of Sun Erhe and the others.
"Sigh, it's really hard to say. Hopefully, they can get into the city and catch up with us!"
That's what they said, but in reality, none of the people at the table had much hope for this.
Putting aside the matter of getting into the city, it's purely a matter of luck.
Even if they manage to enter the city and then come out again, whether they can follow the right path is another question.
In short, there are too many variables on the road, and no one can be sure that they will take the right path.
Lu Qingqing thought of the well-behaved Sun Xiaobao and secretly hoped that the family would be safe and sound.
Even if they can't catch up, they can take the money and hide in a secluded mountain forest.
In this era, it's considered very lucky to simply survive.
The topic involved separation, and the atmosphere at the table became somewhat somber.
Seeing this, Bai Song took the initiative to change the subject.
"I wonder how the meat we ordered is marinating?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xu, who was still engrossed in gnawing on a goose foot, looked up.
"I just went to the outhouse in the backyard, and there are several rows of smoked meat hanging there, still being smoked!"
I could see that there was still a lot of raw meat in those basins on the ground that hadn't been marinated.
I doubt they'll be able to pickle it by this afternoon.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhuang picked up the remaining dishes on the table with his chopsticks.
"If we can't pickle it today, let's leave tomorrow."
"I see this rain is quite heavy today. If we leave this afternoon, we'll suffer sleeping tonight."
Everyone agreed with this statement.
After leaving the mountains, the roads are mostly smooth.
Finding a high place that doesn't retain water is quite difficult.
But on such a rainy day, nobody wants to sleep on a mattress that's been soaked by water.
This meant that in the days leading up to their arrival in Rongyang Town, they spent a long time each afternoon searching for a suitable campsite to spend the night.
Thinking about how difficult that period was, they all decided to stay another night.
Knowing that they wouldn't be leaving today, everyone relaxed.
Bai Song rang his bell and called the waiter over.
The group ordered extra dishes and several jars of wine.
In addition to preparing for tonight's stay, I also booked two more days' stay.
Although it's raining and the air is humid, the temperature isn't too high yet.
The food I bought can last for another two days.
After ordering the food, the group didn't linger on the second floor any longer.
Sitting is not as comfortable as lying down, so they all decided to go back to the inn to rest.
When I went downstairs, the lobby was still full.
Most of the people on the table were soldiers under Bai Song, and a few were guards under Qian Chengzhi.
When they saw their leader come down, they all started to greet him.
They just arrived in town yesterday, and the meal they had was paid for by the eldest brother.
Today's meal was paid for entirely by the subordinates themselves.
Bai Song walked around and saw that there were one or two plates of meat on each table.
Knowing that his subordinates were well-fed, he didn't say anything more.
The group then took a walk around the backyard and saw that the meat curing work was proceeding in an orderly manner.
I checked the few pieces of smoked jerky that were already cooked, and they smelled good, so I went straight out the door.
It's still raining outside.
Qin Lang opened his oil-paper umbrella and shared it with Lu Qingqing as they went out the door.
However, the height difference between the two is quite significant.
Even though Qin Lang tried to tilt the umbrella, the height difference still caused the rain to drift in at an angle.
Lu Qingqing felt her legs and shoes were wet, and a gust of cold wind made her shiver.
But seeing that half of someone's shoulder was wet, she couldn't say anything more.
I silently decided that I would never share an umbrella with this tall guy again.
After getting into the carriage, she climbed into the compartment and took out an oil-paper umbrella from her pocket.
Looking at this newly bought oil-paper umbrella, I've decided that I can't be without it for the next few days!
On their way back to the inn in the carriage, the two hardly encountered any more members of their group going out to buy supplies.
I bought most of the things I needed yesterday.
