Chapter 44: Mentioning Auntie Works
Bai Xiaocao is just old enough, but her younger brother is not.

Bai Shitou refused to go back to the cave no matter what. Although he was young, he and his sister were the only ones left at home. He was the only man in the family who could stand on his own feet.

Bai Xiaocao kept persuading him: "This is the rule of the village. Look, people from other families who are older than you have all been sent in."

"Shitou, you are still young, you don't need to do these things yet."

"I promise you that I will not hide anything I learn from you. I will teach you when I get back, okay?"

"..."

Seeing that no matter how she persuaded him, it was useless, Bai Xiaocao could only say with red eyes, "If my aunt knew you were like this, I'm afraid she would dislike us for being troublesome."

Bai Shitou, who was originally stubborn, subconsciously looked up in the direction of the cave, pursed his lips, and turned around and went to the cave obediently the next second.

Bai Xiaocao: “…” If she had known that mentioning her aunt would be useful, she wouldn’t have said so much.

In the cave, Bai Tao was lying on a mat, seemingly taking a rest with his eyes closed, but actually he was shopping in the mall.

She glanced at the task list and didn't see any bad hints, which meant that this fight was allowed.

The animal attracting powder and animal repelling powder cost her 230,000 coins, which made Bai Tao feel painful.

Two hundred and thirty thousand yuan can allow the people of Taohua Village to have good food and drink for nearly half a month.

It really frightened everyone just now. Now the villagers are cleaning up and doing manual labor outside. Otherwise...

Bai Tao would never admit that she was thirsty and greedy because of eating fried food.

Old salt passion fruit tea, 4.5 coins per cup, buy 500 cups.

If young children don’t like this drink, they can drink AD calcium. Buy a large bottle, one bottle per person.

The agricultural assistance channel has been refreshed and a lot of fruits have been put on the shelves. I picked and chose white peaches and bought a lot of them.

Although the products in the agricultural assistance channel are a bit of a scam, with large and small fruits mixed together and sold, the advantage is that they are cheap and there are no rotten fruits.

Since the quantity of white peaches needed is large, naturally there is no need for a bicycle.

Ten coins for eight kilograms of tangerines?
buy.

One person can eat at least 10 kilograms of tangerines, so let's buy 8,000 kilograms, which can last for two or three days.

It’s only a thousand coins, it’s a good deal.

Crisp and sweet Red Fuji, medium-sized fruit, eight coins for six kilograms, buy six thousand kilograms.

Not to mention that they can be kept in the mall warehouse and retrieved after use, but apples are also durable, and the weather is cold now, so there is no need to worry about keeping them for ten days or half a month.

Crisp pears, ten coins for six pounds, buy six thousand pounds.

Peaches are 1.8 coins per pound, and I bought 8,000 pounds.

Four kilograms of ugly oranges for ten coins. Go ahead and buy it. It tastes delicious and is high in vitamins. Buy four thousand kilograms.

Yes, there are strawberries.

I looked at the price of white peaches. It’s five coins per pound. It’s a bit expensive even at the place of origin.

After taking a look at the balance, I immediately decided that sometimes I need to reward myself, otherwise I would have no motivation to make money.

Thinking about this, Bai Tao hummed a vague tune and placed an order for 600 kilograms.

Grapes, five pounds for ten coins in the place of origin?
Buy it, buy 5,000 kilograms. It’s her fault that she has to support more than 200 people.

Outside the cave, Bai Dashan looked at the villagers, pondered for a moment, and said, "Since everyone is willing to stay, I won't say any more nonsense."

"Right now, we are fleeing, and no one can predict what we will encounter along the way."

"Grandma can protect us, but we can't make her suffer for everything, otherwise we would be unfilial descendants!"

"Grandma is our aunt, we only have one aunt." "We in Taohua Village must protect our aunt, and we must also protect ourselves and our families."

"So……"

Fortunately, Bai Tao was shopping in the cave, otherwise she would have rolled her eyes when she heard Bai Dashan's words.

These words are no less than the nonsense that office workers hear at the weekly Monday meeting.

Letting the villagers see blood does not necessarily mean cutting the flesh and bleeding the half-dead Hu people. Cleaning them up outside the steel coil is also a solution.

Cut some animal repellent powder, soak a corner of the cloth and tie it around your waist. The wild animals will run away when they smell the scent, so it is safe.

Outside the steel wire coil, first most of the Hu people's horses were recovered, then the wild beasts that were killed or injured in the fight with the Hu people, and finally the Hu people themselves.

"Village Chief, what are these barbarians carrying?"

The Hu people came for the "autumn hunt", burning, killing, humiliating and looting. I don't know how much they stole along the way.

Some would return home quickly with a full load, while others would entrust the loot to familiar tribesmen to take back to their families and continue "hunting" on their own.

This group of Hu people who returned from hunting elsewhere naturally carried a lot of things with them.

The villagers were dazzled by the gold, silver and jade artifacts.

Bai Dashan said without thinking: "Collect them all, put them together, and send them to my aunt later to see if she can use them."

The others listened, nodded, and started looking for things more actively.

"These things must have been robbed from the people of our Jin State."

"If it weren't for these damned barbarians invading, I wouldn't have suffered so much."

"I just passed by and heard my aunt talking about how valuable the animal repellent powder is."

"Yes, yes, I feel so sorry for you." The little face was wrinkled, making everyone feel sorry for her.

"In other words, these damned barbarians are useless."

"We are collecting the bodies of these barbarians."

"These damned Hu people have caused so many families to be destroyed."

Everyone was enjoying their meal and had been hiding in the mountains and forests, but you still didn't let them go.

Cleaning up was really tiring. Everyone was busy and chattering at the beginning, but after more than half an hour, not many people were talking anymore.

It was almost afternoon when the area near the steel coil was almost cleaned up, and then Old Blackhead led his men to the trap.

The beast retreated, surely heading for the trap.

They looked over and were surprised to see that the animal attractant powder was indeed very powerful.

The trap was full of wild animals. The big cat and the black bear that fell into the trap first had no time to react before they were knocked unconscious by the wild animals that jumped out one after another.

As the villagers knocked the beast unconscious and tied it up and carried it back to the camp, they all said, "No wonder the aunt asked us to bring animal repellent powder."

Old Blackhead also sighed: "I have been hunting for so many years, but I have never seen so many ferocious beasts in a forest."

When the villagers in the camp heard the villagers who had returned from the trap say that there was still a lot of prey that needed to be transported, they picked up their carrying poles and went over without saying a word.

Originally, Bai Tao wanted to ask someone to move the things she took out from the white pumice cave, but when she saw that everyone was busy, she turned her attention to the little kids in the cave.

In the cave, little kids aged two or three were staring at the cave entrance anxiously, turning their heads to look around from time to time.

When they saw Bai Tao coming back, some older grandparents were also there. They looked at their friends around them and saw that no one was crying, so they didn't cry together.

Just now, they were eating when they were carried by adults to escape into the cave. It was lucky that they didn't cry out of fear.
