Chapter 192
Entering the village, most of the houses inside are adobe houses with thatched roofs, and some are directly thatched houses, or shacks built with stones.

There are only a few brick houses in the middle of the village, which are a little grand.

Meng Donglai went straight to the door of the brick house and knocked on the door.

After a while, a skinny boy came and opened the door. He saw a soldier wearing a tattered Qin army uniform outside the door. His hands were empty and unarmed. He thought he was a deserter, and said directly: "You Qiu Ba, why are you knocking on the door?"

Meng Donglai, who wanted to speak well, didn't expect the other party to curse at the first sentence, and kicked him.

The boy rolled backwards several times after being kicked, and finally lay in the middle of the courtyard moaning in pain, but he couldn't do it when he thought about it.

This scene happened to be seen by other people in the yard, and everyone immediately gathered around.

Meng Donglai walked in and closed the door smoothly.

There were three people gathered around, one old and two young. The old man was more steady and asked, "Why is this?"

"He berated me."

Qiu Ba is the upper and lower decomposition of the word Bing, a derogatory term for soldiers, which is close to "**", so Meng Dong said that this young man did not wrong him at all for cursing others.

"The villain is ignorant and offended you. I don't know why you came here?" The old man first scolded the servant, skipping the matter of Meng Donglai's beating, and directly asked Meng Donglai why he came.

"Passing by Baodi, I want to buy some food here." Meng Dong said back and forth.

"It's bitterly cold in the west of Liaoning, we can't even get enough to eat, and we still look forward to Haihan." It means not to sell.

In future generations, it is reasonable to beat people as soon as you enter the door, and it is reasonable not to sell your things.

But now it is the Qin Dynasty, and it is the west of Liaoning.

Meng Donglai stretched his hand into his chest, pretending to take something from his breast pocket, but in fact he took out Meng Yi's waist pocket from the Sumeru Dimension.

Open the bag and take out a small gold cake (copper) still on the ground.

"Either you bring it and sell it to me, or I get it myself."

The tough attitude made the scene a little cold.

At this moment, more than a dozen people came from the backyard, all of them armed. First, a young man with a hulking back and a waist almost as tall as Meng Donglai.

The young man was holding a thick bronze sword, which was more than one meter long and had a sharp edge. It looked like a sword at first glance.

"Let me see how you get yourself."

More than a dozen people surrounded Meng Donglai, and the situation was tense.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Meng Donglai turned his head to see that it was Princess Yushu.

Yushu opened the door and walked in. Meng Donglai was surrounded by a dozen warriors with sharp knives, and immediately realized that this was the best chance for her to be saved.

"I am Jizi Princess Yushu of Joseon Dynasty, concubine Li conferred by the First Emperor of Qin Dynasty. This person is a bandit who plundered me from the battlefield. Please save me."

This is adding insult to injury, well done!

"I said you are so arrogant. It turns out you are a bold bandit. Now I have to thank you and give the credit to me." After hearing Yu Shu's words, the young man immediately became excited and waved the long sword in his hand left and right. Two clicks, eager to try.

Meng Donglai was very calm. He looked back at Yushu and said coldly, "Remember, you are the one who killed them today."

Then two pistols appeared in his hands, arms raised left and right and fired simultaneously.

Bah bah bah bah...!
Gunshots sounded like fried beans. Meng Donglai fired in a circle with his gun. Only he and Yu Shu were left standing in the yard.

The person lying down was either hit in the chest by a bullet or shot in the face. The whole yard was bleeding like a river, and the people who were still alive were groaning in pain.

"Ouch!" Yu Shu was terrified by this scene, and vomited directly.

"I told you, don't ask for help indiscriminately, you will only harm others if you ask for help." Meng Donglai didn't step forward to comfort, but walked towards the backyard without saying a word.

Walking into the backyard, there were already more than a dozen women, children, old and young gathered there, but there were only two young and strong people who could lift weapons, and these two were also so trembling that they almost couldn't hold the weapons in their hands.

Meng Donglai took out a small golden cake from his pocket again and threw it on the ground: "Take out the food and cloth and sell them to me."

"Okay, okay, take it here, very quickly."

An old man in the middle reacted the fastest and hurriedly urged others to get food and cloth.

These two materials are hard currencies in this era, the hardest currency is harder than coins, so rich people will reserve a lot.

Soon, there was a pile of grain as high as a hill in front of Meng Donglai, as well as dozens of bolts of linen.

There are so many things, a small golden cake can't buy it.

Meng Donglai directly threw the waist bag containing the coins on the ground, and then brushed his hands over the supplies, and all the supplies on the ground disappeared.

This scene directly frightened the people in the yard.

"gone."

After getting what he wanted, Meng Donglai didn't stay any longer. He returned to the front yard and put away the weapon that had fallen on the ground, then pulled up Yushu who was slumped on the ground and went out the door.

Everyone in the village has been awakened by the gunshots, and some bold people peeped out through the cracks in the doors, but most of them closed their doors tightly and dared not come out.

After walking out of the village and returning to the carriage, he picked up Yu Shu and threw him into the carriage, and then drove westward until he left the village, before stopping to light a fire to cook.

The raw material for this meal is the chestnut obtained from the village, which is the millet of later generations.

The most common staple food in the Qin Dynasty was "five grains": rice, millet, millet, wheat, and bean.

In this era, rice was mostly used for wine making.

Due to processing problems, wheat cannot be ground into flour, so there is no pasta yet. When eating, it is steamed wheat rice, or pounded into wheat paste. Needless to say, the taste is not bad, so even the Qin people in Guanzhong are not very fond of wheat. interested.

Shu is the general term for beans, which are mainly fed to livestock.

Therefore, the staple food of people in this era is basically millet (millet) and millet (yellow rice). The former has a high yield, while the latter is very drought-tolerant and can grow on wasteland.

The big households in the village also store these two types of food. Meng Donglai made a "preserved egg and lean meat porridge" with millet mixed with leftover meat and bird eggs from last night.

As the food in the pot gradually matured, the aroma of porridge began to waft around.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the official road in the direction of the village. As night fell, Meng Donglai could only vaguely see some vague black shadows approaching, but he couldn't see what it was.

Turning his head to look at Yushu's carriage, it was too eye-catching under the light of the bonfire, if the person coming was an enemy, the carriage would be most likely to be set on fire.

Meng Donglai hurried to the carriage and opened the door, seeing Yu Shu still sitting in the carriage in a daze.

"come out!"

Yushu looked at him, but didn't move.

Meng Donglai directly reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled it off. He carried it and walked away. He placed Yushu behind a tree trunk on the side of the road at a position more than 50 meters away from the campfire.

"Hide here and don't move."

Yu Shu sat on the cold ground and continued to stare blankly.

The rustling sound got closer, Meng Donglai hurried back to the campfire, walked a dozen steps forward, climbed over the campfire and waited on the side of the road.
