Chapter 151 Everyone has his own destiny
Even though they had just fought a battle with bandits, the people of Taohua Village did not look tired. If they had not had to camp for the night, they could probably have walked another ten miles.
Even Yang Song admired him: "No wonder the people of Baijiabao caravan, young and old, followed us on our business trip."
With such physical strength and skills, more than 200 people are not afraid of going anywhere.
What impressed Yang Song the most was that in the Baijiabao caravan, even the two or three-year-old children did not make any noise. They ate when they were supposed to, drank when they were supposed to, and slept when they were supposed to.
That’s not all. There are several pregnant women in the Baijiabao caravan. Apart from fighting bandits, they do everything else.
Yang Song: "However, sir, there is one thing I don't understand. Where exactly is this caravan from? Why are they so unrestrained?"
You know, for caravans traveling all over the country, it is most taboo to have pregnant women traveling with them.
Firstly, it delays progress, and secondly, it is easy to cause accidents.
But the Baijiabao caravan didn't seem to care about this. If they encountered a pregnant woman about to give birth, they would stay for two or three days and then continue on their way.
Lu Xiaohao: “I’ve never heard of it either.”
Although he had lived a life of luxury before, he had few people to rely on, and the few secrets he knew were from the strange stories in the royal collection.
"You should stop asking about the caravan's affairs." They are now living under someone else's roof. If they make the caravan's people have a bad impression, it will not be good for them.
Yang Song smiled awkwardly: "Sir, I'm just a little curious."
"But I will definitely ask less questions in the future." Although he said that, he was still extremely curious when he thought of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.
At the campsite of Taohua Village, the villagers set up their tents and sorted their belongings in an orderly manner.
As usual, Bai Duoxi led the kitchen staff to prepare meals.
My aunt said we would have roasted whole lamb for dinner.
The bonfire was lit, and the neatly prepared sheep's stomach was stuffed with various spices and then spread with the prepared sauce.
The lamb is skewered on an iron skewer thicker than a finger, placed on the campfire, and then the skewers are kept turning.
"You have to turn the skewers more frequently, but be sure not to burn them."
Six roasted whole lambs are enough for more than 200 people to eat, which is definitely not enough, so Bai Duoxi has to cook two more dishes.
He was holding a spatula almost as tall as a person, stirring the stir-fried chicken gizzards and pickled bamboo shoots in the wok, and from time to time giving instructions to the people who were watching the roasted whole lamb.
"Today, the villagers beat the bandits, so we have to let them eat happily."
"The fire can't be too big or too small. The temperature is very important. We can't let the aunt think that our cooking skills are just so-so."
"You need to apply honey in small amounts and multiple times. Don't be too hasty. Last time you grilled meat, none of you did it well."
"This sheep was specially prepared by my aunt for us. We can't take it lightly, or the villagers will poke us in the back."
"…Remember to brush each sheep with honey twenty times, so that the skin will be crispy and sweet."
As the mutton was cooked little by little, the aroma spread everywhere.
Many people looked at the hard bread in their hands, then looked at the bustle coming from the Baijiabao caravan camp ahead, smelled the aroma of meat in the air, and swallowed their saliva.
While some people were envious, they were also sighing in their hearts that the Baijiabao caravan was really rich. If they were recruiting people to do business, they would definitely find a way to be hired.
It is said that people who are hired to do business in a caravan can earn at least one hundred or eighty taels of silver after working for three to five years.
By then, I will build two small houses, marry a wife and have two or three children, and live a happy life...
At this time, a dozen villagers who had gone to raid the bandit’s lair also returned.
It was already dark, and not many people knew what these people had brought back. Yang Song happened to be relieving himself when he saw Bai Chunsheng and a dozen others pushing carts and pulling horses back.
The wheels left marks on the wheels, and the frame even creaked as if it could not bear the weight, which showed that there was a lot of things loaded on the car.
"Auntie, we are back~"
As soon as they entered the camp, Bai Chunsheng waved happily to Bai Tao from a distance.
Bai Tao smiled and asked, "Is anyone injured?"
"No."
Bai Chunsheng: "Aunt, we were very careful and didn't suffer any loss."
"There were more than 20 bandits in the bandit den. We took care of them all without leaving any behind."
Bai Tao also knew about this from the increased number of raffles, but she still supported her chin with her hands, her eyes sparkling, and watched Bai Chunsheng and others reporting with gestures and smiles.
"Auntie, you don't know that these bandits are really not human. There are still some women and children in their lair who were taken to the mountain stronghold by them..."
Bai Chunsheng was speaking when he suddenly stopped.
It's over. The village chief had said before that the aunt was still young and these bad things should not be told to her. He forgot about it in an instant.
Bai Tao saw Bai Chunsheng stop and look at her cautiously, then asked: "So what are you going to do now? Have you settled the people?"
"This." Bai Chunsheng scratched his head, hesitating to speak, and finally said: "Auntie, don't worry, we have already taken care of it before we go down the mountain."
Some women felt that they had lost their innocence, so without saying a word, some hit their heads against pillars, some jumped into the river, and even some who did not want to die said that they had no face to go home, and would go to a nearby nunnery to accompany the green lamp tomorrow...
They had never encountered such a situation when they raided the Black Wind Village’s lair before, so Bai Chunsheng and others had no idea how to deal with it.
They killed the bandits, released the women, and left some dry food and money for their journey. They did the most they could.
There were also girls begging them to take them in, but when Bai Chunsheng and others heard this, their faces changed.
It's not that I dislike them because they were abused by bandits, but the situation in Taohua Village is special now. There are many magical things, and my aunt is careless and somewhat sloppy, so how can I take in outsiders?
It would be fine if you meet someone who is grateful, but if you meet someone with bad intentions, then it will be troublesome.
In today's world, no matter what happens, it's everyone's destiny.
In order to divert Bai Tao's attention, before she could speak, Bai Chunsheng asked in a mysterious tone, "Auntie, guess what we brought back?"
"I don't know." Bai Tao tilted her head and spoke in a milky voice.
"But there is gold, I suppose?"
On the side, Bai Dacheng cooperated with an exaggerated expression: "Wow, auntie, you are so amazing, you can even guess this."
The villagers treated Bai Tao like a baby and pampered her, and Bai Tao also seemed to treat the villagers like their own children.
Bai Tao found it very funny and thought that it was not surprising to see some gold and silver in the bandit's den.
But the next second, when she saw Bai Dacheng open the wooden box he had been holding, Bai Tao was stunned.
Gold, no, it’s gold bars.
The stool-sized box was filled with gold bars, about twenty in total, each thicker than a finger.
Bai Dacheng said proudly: "Auntie, you will never guess where I found this box of gold bars."
