92 Let’s Make A Stinky Now
Under absolute force, how could Village Chief w.a.n.g dare to disobey? Qingfeng was still standing in front of him with a sword.
He hurriedly said to the villagers, “Hurry up and get the food!” Didn’t they see that his life was still in the hands of others?
Like that, Qingfeng and the others carried away 250 kilograms of food.
After knowing that his son had been beaten up, Village Chief w.a.n.g’s wife, Mei Yufeng, staggered over. When she saw her eldest son lying on the ground unconscious, she immediately cursed and cried. “Who the h.e.l.l gave birth to someone without eyes? My son, my poor son…”
!!
Village Chief w.a.n.g held the few pieces of silver in his hand, his eyes bloodshot. He shouted at Mei Yufeng angrily, “What are you crying for? Hurry up and find Doctor Li!”
Across the mountain, Mei Yufeng’s earth-shattering cries could be heard clearly. Bai Wutong frowned, a little worried.
Not long after, Qingfeng and the others returned. Everyone was happy for a moment when they saw the bags of food on their shoulders. When they realized that there were only a few bags of food, their smiles froze.
Bai Wutong led everyone forward. “Is this all the food?”
Village Chief Zhao sighed and said, “That’s all. We even fought with Tianlin Village because of these grains.”
When Bai Wutong learned of the entire incident, she frowned. With such an evil neighbor, even if Qingfeng intimidated them once that day, they would probably find other trouble next time.
However, this was not on the road to escape where no one would pursue the matter even if someone was killed. They could only be careful.
There was too little food. Zhao Pengfei took the initiative to stand out and say, “I’ll go hunting. This forest is quite deep. There must be something good.”
Immediately after, some villagers stood up and said, “We also have hunting experience. We also know how to set traps. We can always bring back some prey.”
Entering the mountains to hunt was the only way for them. Village Chief Zhao agreed and said, “Squirrels will store food for the winter. We can even dig out squirrel holes.”
Auntie Yang said optimistically, “If we can encounter a bamboo forest, we can even dig up winter bamboo shoots. Or we can dig out a piece of land now and plant some radishes.”
“On the way here, I saw that the farmers here plant radishes in the winter. If we can’t wait, we can eat radish seedlings first. If we persist for another two months, there will be more food to eat in the spring.”
How could radish seedlings fill the stomach? Even so, everyone was still comforted by Auntie Yang’s words.
As long as they gritted their teeth and persevered for two months, everything would be fine.
Without their stomach fill, how could they have the strength to build houses, reclaim the land, dig ca.n.a.ls, plow the land…
These were all tasks that could only be done after eating their fill. There had to be food.
Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng. “If there’s no food in this village, go to other villages and ask them door-to-door. If there’s also none in other villages, go somewhere far away and buy it.”
“Yes.”
The half-grown child, Zhao Lei, went up to Bai Wutong and said firmly, “Madam, I can go to town to find a job to support myself.”
The bandits had killed his parents. He had been helped all the way here by the villagers, but he was still most grateful to Bai Wutong and her family. If not for them and the villagers who had kindly given him food, he would not have survived.
When the other children and even those younger saw Zhao Lei, they also stood up and clenched their fists with burning eyes. “We’ll go too. We won’t waste food at home.”
The children were so sensible that it was heartbreaking.
At this moment, the servants of the Cui family also stood up and said, “We’ll go too.” If not for the fact that their master’s family did not abandon them on the way, they would not have survived until now. Without enough food, they naturally could not stay and implicate their master’s family.
Cui Shiji frowned. “There are so many of us. One Woqian Town won’t be enough for the few of you. Stay here and farm well. There will be a way to get food.”
When he finished, everyone’s eyes turned to him, as if to ask what the exact solution was.
Cui Shiji said, “Pingyang County’s County Head Qu is our best friend. He can probably borrow some food.”
Qing River produced talented people. County Head Qu of Pingyang County had basically been educated at Qing River since he was young. He had a close relationship with Cui Shiji and Cui Shize. Cui Shiji thought that he should be able to find a way to lend them some food.
“Pingyang County is three days ‘ journey away from here. It will take at least a week to go back and forth. We only need to buy food for this week to survive.”
Everyone’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, that would be great.
However, Bai Wutong felt that it was too early to be happy. It was hard to predict people’s hearts. What if this friend did not lend it to him? Now that the government was controlling the food restrictions especially well, as the county head, would he take the risk for them?
Bai Wutong thought for a moment and said, “If anything goes wrong, you can just buy food from the village on the way. It’s fine even if the price is higher, we just have to survive this winter.”
Cui Shiji and the others could tell what Bai Wutong meant. Qu Yuanxian might not lend them food. They felt that it was unlikely, but they did not refute Bai Wutong’s words. It was indeed safe to prepare both plans.
Late at night, after dinner, the Cui family members set off for Pingyang County.
Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao were huddled in the tent. One corner of the tent was probably not properly tied as the wind blew in. Bai Wutong felt cold and wanted to get up from Chu Tianbao’s arms to tuck the corner of the tent.
When she moved, Chu Tianbao opened his sleepy eyes and asked hoa.r.s.ely, “Wife, why aren’t you sleeping?”
Bai Wutong covered him with the blanket. “Sleep first. I’ll be back soon.”
She got up from the blanket and walked to the corner. Chu Tianbao lifted the blanket and sat up to look at her.
Bai Wutong tucked the leaking corner of the tent away and left the warmth of the bed. In a short while, her limbs had turned cold.
She blew hot air on her hand to ease the stiffness. When she turned back, she saw Chu Tianbao wrapped in the blanket. His big dark eyes were fixed on her with a smile.
Instantly, her heart skipped a beat.
Bai Wutong walked over. “Didn’t I tell you to sleep first?”
Chu Tianbao chuckled foolishly. He reached out his warm hand and pulled her into his arms. He wrapped her tightly in the blanket and even covered her feet with his big feet.
The cold air surrounding Bai Wutong quickly disappeared.
Bai Wutong leaned against his chest and listened to his powerful heartbeat. She looked at Chu Tianbao’s bearded chin and sighed in her heart.
After the house was fixed, she had to let Chu Tianbao sleep separately from her as soon as possible.
Bai Wutong closed her eyes again. Chu Tianbao’s hot body pressed against her tightly. She was used to it and didn’t take it seriously.
Suddenly, Chu Tianbao leaned against her ear and said expectantly, “Wife?”
“Yes?”
“Are we home?”
Bai Wutong replied without opening her eyes, “Uh-huh.”
...
When Chu Tianbao heard this, he suddenly stuck his head under her eyes and said happily, “Then let’s make a Stinky now!”
Bai Wutong’s sleepiness seemed to have been blown away by lightning. She opened her eyes abruptly. She was caught off guard when she felt a warm wetness on her lips.
Chu Tianbao blinked in confusion and accidentally placed his hand where it shouldn’t be.
Thunder rumbled in her head. When she saw Tianbao and her current situation, Bai Wutong’s expression suddenly changed. She suddenly pushed Chu Tianbao away. “Hurry up and sleep!” Her tone was filled with unprecedented panic.
Chu Tianbao instantly stuck to her again and said reluctantly, “Wife, you said that you and Tianbao will give birth to Stinky when we get home.”
