Chapter 148: Chuunibyou Child
"Then let's take a break and have something hot to drink. We'll set off soon." As he said this, Bai Tao yawned again.

If I had known, I would have watched two fewer episodes of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf yesterday.

Bai Duoxi arrived early and had already set up a few simple stoves with his men. They boiled some water and made ginger soup. Now they would distribute the hot ginger soup to the villagers.

"Auntie, you should also drink some ginger soup. I added brown sugar."

"Hmm." Bai Tao sniffed, took the soup bowl, gulped down most of it, wiped the corners of her mouth, handed the bowl over, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with having mutton offal soup for lunch?"

"No problem!" Bai Duoxi responded without thinking.

Not to mention mutton offal soup, if my aunt wants to eat it, he will prepare a whole roasted lamb.

Just as Bai Duoxi was about to finish his thought, Bai Tao said, "Let's roast a whole lamb tonight. We haven't had it for a long time."

It doesn’t matter if Wolf doesn’t eat the sheep, she eats it!
Bai Duoxi's heart tightened, and she said quickly, "Yes, aunt."

Next time, he'd better not think about it in front of me, lest I think he's greedy.

Most of the bandits on the other side of the river retreated into their mountain strongholds as soon as they saw the Baijiabao caravan crossing the river on ice. If I can't afford to provoke them, can I not hide from them?

But there were still some bandits who were not convinced. Of course, it didn’t matter whether they were convinced or not. They were mainly eyeing the supplies of the Baijiabao caravan.

There are so many horse-drawn carriages and carts. If they let go of such a fat sheep, what kind of bandits would they be?

There was also Qinxin grass on the other side of the river. When people saw that the Baijiabao caravan did not set off immediately, they came to inquire about it.

"Ah, no need. We have wasted quite some time. We must hurry on our way." Bai Dashan never said that after some time, there would be no more grass core to be taken from the branches of the Qinxin Grass.

Knowing that the caravan had to hurry on their journey, these people felt it was a pity, but they also thought it was a good thing to hurry on their journey, as they had to go all the way anyway, so there was no need to worry about not having opportunities to work on the way.

It took some time to cross the ice and river, so we only walked about ten miles in the morning.

The people in Taohua Village had explored the terrain in advance, but they were not as familiar with the terrain as the bandits who lived here.

A group of bandits who treated this area as their own territory were extremely jealous when they saw the row of horse-drawn carriages and carts.

Even if some bandits were concerned and tried to dissuade them, they could not be stopped.

"The people on the other side are useless. We are different from them."

"That's right. There are so many things here, enough for us to enjoy a good life for a while." In today's world, if we let this fat sheep go, we may never know when we will meet him again.

"Brothers, this fat sheep is right in front of us. With so many things delivered to our doorstep, can we let it go?"

"No!" Letting go of such fat sheep is no different from cutting their meat.

"Boss, we have to do this."

"This is our territory. How can we let the duck that has already been caught run away..."

Over in Taohua Village, the mutton offal soup had just been cooked and the fire had not yet been turned off when the sound of galloping horses could be heard.

The people of Taohua Village immediately picked up their weapons and became alert, while Bai Dashan, who had climbed onto the box of Taohua Village and used a telescope to watch the noise when the noise was heard, also shouted down at this time.

"Beware, bandits are coming!"

"There are more than thirty horses."

After Taohua Village shouted, the people outside realized what was going on. For a moment, these people were in a panic and looked for places to hide while holding their belongings.

On the other hand, Taohua Village was making preparations in an orderly manner.

When it comes to dealing with bandits, the people of Taohua Village are quite experienced.

There were horse-drawn carriages and pack wagons serving as cover, and everyone knew who was in which position.

When they heard that there were horses, someone immediately rushed out and pulled up two trip ropes at the places they had chosen before.

The young and middle-aged people were in the front, the old people and children were in the back. The first batch of bows and crossbows were shot, followed by the second batch.

Under the blasts of crossbow arrows, the bandits on horseback paid no attention to the situation on the ground at all.

When the first trip rope was pulled high, many horses in the front were tripped, and although some of the bandits behind were able to hold on to the horses, they would be knocked out by their companions who were too late to catch them. At this time, the second trip rope was pulled up about ten meters away, and most of the bandits on horseback were eliminated.
For a moment, these bandits were in chaos before they even reached the Taohua Village camp, with more than a dozen people killed or injured.

At this time, the people of Taohua Village took advantage of the chaos and used bows, crossbows, swords, sticks, whatever was convenient for them.

Many women in the village rolled up their sleeves and wielded their weapons with great force.

Young girls and wives rushed to kill the bandits without mercy, and some even counted: "One, two, three, four, I'm talking to you, if you don't fall down, how can I get four?"

Someone nearby also said excitedly: "You only have four, I have six."

"Hahaha, then I have more than you, I have nine." Bai Chunhua was lying on the box of the cart as she spoke, firing accurately with the crossbow in her hand.

After we defeated the bandits, the villagers would count the heads of the bandits and give each head five taels of silver.

If you kill ten bandits, you'll get fifty taels of silver.

Even if each of them has a hundred or eighty taels of silver in their hands, who would complain about having too much silver?

Only if you have money can you buy things for your aunt and show your filial piety to her.

Bai Duoxi swung two fire sticks, knocking down one person with each stick, while shouting.

"The mutton offal soup is ready. If it's overcooked, it won't taste good. Everyone, please work harder. I'm still hungry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in Taohua Village became even crazier.

It’s okay if the mutton offal soup is overcooked, but I absolutely cannot go hungry.

"Ahhh, why didn't you come at this time?" Damn it for delaying our aunt's meal.

"I let you run, I let you run..."

This scene stunned those who had run away and hidden when they heard that the bandits were coming.

No, the people from the Baijiabao caravan look more ferocious than the bandits at this moment!

Yang Song was also working with the people of Taohua Village to kill bandits. Even though he had seen the abilities of the women and children of the Baijiabao caravan, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks in horror.

"Don't you have the ability to rob us? Why are you running?"

"Come back here and let me chop you twice first!"

Bai Qi chased after him while shouting, "Don't leave. Fight me if you're a man."

Yang Song kicked a bandit away and glanced at the person who was shouting. The expression on his face could not be described in words.

As soon as the white chess player finished shouting, several teenagers aged twelve or thirteen shouted angrily: "Don't run away, fight until dawn!"

"You come as you please, and leave as you please, who do you think we are?"

"Look at my Foshan Shadowless Kick."

"Take this stick from me, Old Sun."

"Look at my dragon tail..."

"This is the Nine Yin Bone Claw!!!"

"Monkey steals peach!"

"The great roc spreads its wings!!"

"..."

These excited shouts could be heard from time to time amid the bandits' roars and the howlings of ghosts and wolves.

Bai Tao, who was standing behind him, twitched his forehead. What a bunch of immature kids.

Bai Dashan also heard the shouting. He turned his head to look at Bai Tao with an innocent smile.
