Chapter 4 Don't force me to beat you
Old Blackhead had been to this area several times when he was hunting before, so he knew where the nearby water source was. He took a few people and carried the outer packaging bags of sausages to find water.
Others either picked up firewood and stones or looked for edible wild vegetables.
The older villagers either took their babbling children with them so as not to cause trouble to the busy people, or helped out by weaving straw sandals, simple bamboo baskets and straw mats.
Everyone was doing what they could. Even children of four or five years old followed their mothers and sisters to look for wild vegetables, except for white peaches.
It's not that she doesn't want to do it, but the villagers won't let her.
As soon as she picked up the hay for making straw sandals, a villager hurriedly stopped her: "No, auntie, this hay is hard, don't prick your hand."
Just as she was about to follow the people who were collecting firewood to collect branches, she was persuaded to stop: "No, no, auntie, you take a rest, we will collect firewood."
Then she picked up some stones, but as soon as Bai Tao made a move, she was stopped.
"Auntie, please don't hurt your feet. I'll do it, I'll do it..."
She was not needed to find water, and there were quite a few people collecting firewood, and a lot of nearby stones were also brought back.
As for finding wild vegetables, Bai Tao can recognize the wild vegetables sold in the market, but she can't tell the difference between those grown in the mountains and forests.
After being stopped by the villagers several times, Bai Tao comforted herself with a clear conscience.
Forget it, I am an old lady, I have a heavy responsibility, I just need to be the mainstay, and I'd better continue to study the Mall of All Worlds.
As it grew darker, several fires were lit, and those who had gone out to look for water returned.
Old Blackhead and his companions were beaming with joy. As soon as they came back, they could not wait to run towards Bai Tao: "Auntie, look."
"I was lucky today. I happened to see two roe deer drinking water by the water, so I hunted them and brought them back."
Bai Tao took a look and saw that it was still alive.
At this time, the two roe deer had no idea what they were about to face and were tied up by two villagers with a rope made of vines.
It was probably the first time they saw so many people. The two roe deer looked here and there, walking briskly with clear and stupid expressions on their faces.
No wonder it is called silly roe deer.
Roe deer are very curious. Even if they see people, they will not run away. They will just tilt their heads and stare at people. They may even follow people for a while out of curiosity.
"Good, I'll give you credit for this, all..."
Afraid that the roe deer might accidentally run away tonight, Bai Tao was about to kill them both, eating one tonight and jerking the other into meat for easy carrying, but she stopped halfway through the words.
'Beep, wild roe deer, alive, edible, can be farmed, priced at 2,600 mall coins.'
Two thousand six hundred?
Are you kidding me? That useless trumpet creeper vine can be sold for a thousand!
This is a wild roe deer, alive, gamey, meat, weighing more than fifty to sixty kilograms each.
They are a male and a female. If they are raised, they can give birth to cubs... Bai Tao was very upset at the mall, but the mall did not react at all.
Although he complained about the low price, Bai Tao still decided to sell the roe deer.
Conditions are not favorable now. We can go without meat for a short period of time, but we cannot do without carbohydrates as staple foods to fill our stomachs.
After selling these two silly roe deer, I will have more money in my hands.
After thinking about it, Bai Tao said to the villager who was leading the roe deer: "Give it to me."
When they heard that they could be credited with a merit, they were all smiling happily. When they heard Bai Tao's words, they handed the vine rope in their hands to her without thinking.
Bai Tao was only five years old, and now she was on the run. She finally caught two roe deer, so everyone should have taken it seriously, but no one spoke up to stop her. Everyone naturally thought, the young lady finally asked for something, so what's wrong with giving it to her?
Old Blackhead spoke up and warned, "Auntie, although these roe deer are stupid, they are quite strong. You should lead them and make sure they don't hit you."
"Yeah, I know." Bai Tao responded casually, and then pulled the two roe deer and prepared to move forward.
Although the roe deer is stupid, it is sometimes smart. Perhaps it sees that the person pulling it is a young human who is not even as tall as itself, and thinks it is easy to bully, so it stands there and refuses to move.
Bai Tao pulled and tugged hard, and almost fell over. She felt nothing moving behind her, so she looked back and saw two roe deer tilting their heads and looking at her with clear and stupid eyes.
Was he being looked down upon by these two stupid roe deer? !
You guys are still looking at me like a fool? Bai Tao immediately put her hands on her hips without thinking and threatened in a childish voice: "Don't force me to slap you in front of so many people!"
When these words were spoken, the villagers around almost burst out laughing. This aunt is really so adorable.
Those who couldn't help laughing lowered their heads quickly, but their shaking shoulders betrayed them. Fortunately, Bai Tao was focused on the two silly roe deer and didn't notice them.
It was not known whether it was because Bai Tao glared at them with a look of being difficult to deal with, or because Bai Dashan, who was standing beside them, considerately hit them with a willow branch a few times, that the roe deer finally moved and were pulled away by Bai Tao.
There is a corner ahead that can just block the wind, otherwise the people of Taohua Village would not choose to stay here for the night.
As soon as it turned the corner and left the villagers' sight, the roe deer led by Bai Tao disappeared along with the vines.
The mall coins also increased from one thousand and thirty to six thousand two hundred and thirty-six.
Bai Tao counted and found six more coins. Oh, it turned out that the vine rope also counted as money.
Okay, not too dark!
Bai Tao muttered to herself, and at the same time she also realized that in the future, if she didn't plan to sell something, such as items used to pack goods, she must inform the mall in advance, otherwise they would be sold together by default.
After confirming the purchased items and quantity, a white light flashed that only Bai Tao could see, and the items she ordered soon appeared on the ground.
Fifty water bags are items from another world. They don’t look big, but they can hold a lot. One bag can hold twelve liters of water. Most importantly, they are lightweight, weighing only five or six kilograms when carried.
One costs twenty mall coins, and if you buy thirty-five or more, there is an 12% discount, so the total cost is six hundred and sixteen mall coins.
Seeing the money that was deducted, Bai Tao felt heartbroken. Money is so wasted.
However, people need to drink water, especially when they are in a hurry. They can't always use those plastic packaging bags for sausages. They are not durable.
Just when Bai Tao was about to buy some rice and noodles, she saw a jumping trumpet-shaped message suddenly appear in the lower right corner of the mall.
She opened it curiously and saw the discounted flash sale area.
It would have been fine if it hadn't been opened. Once it was opened, Bai Tao once again forgot about scolding the mall for cutting prices and making dirty money when she was selling roe deer.
