After unlocking the material space, I raised my younger siblings in a farmhouse.
Chapter 56: Satisfying Your Cravings
Hou San was very self-aware. He knew that if he stood in front of someone else's stall in this attire, it would indeed affect the other person's business. So he simply pulled the fat man aside, making room for the stall owner, and waited until they had negotiated before going up to buy things.
"Just think about how long we haven't had any money in our stomachs. Look at our faces. If we continue like this, we will both end up like the other people in the temple, sleeping soundly. Then the little money you have will be lost to outsiders."
After hearing what the monkey said, the fat man nodded thoughtfully. It seemed to be the case. The reason was that when they were dragging people to the mass grave, they also made money from the dead.
Seeing that the fat man was wavering, the monkey continued to strike while the iron was hot.
"Instead of letting outsiders get away with it, why don't we two brothers have something good to eat? Tell me the truth, I don't believe you really don't want to eat meat buns. If you really don't want to eat them, that's fine. The money is earned by both of us. I got half of it. You can deduct it from my money. You can continue to eat your steamed buns. I'm going to eat the meat buns anyway."
How could a fat man not want to eat meat? He knew that meat was delicious, but he was just afraid of being hungry. He was more afraid of being hungry than eating delicious food. He had finally earned a little money, and he wanted to spend every penny he made, so he just couldn't bear to eat it.
But when he heard Hou San say this, he imagined that scene and suddenly felt that the delicious white flour buns were no longer fragrant.
Taking a deep breath, the fat man finally made up his mind.
"Buy it! Why are you the only one who can eat meat buns? I want to eat some too!"
Monkey Three chuckled, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up."
The two men returned to the stall with their heads held high, and the fat man generously took out two copper coins and handed them to the stall owner.
"Here, add the two coppers you gave me, that's four coppers in total, give us two meat buns."
The stall owner didn't say much. He took the copper coin and quickly picked up two meat buns for them.
The fat man took the hot paper package, grimacing from the heat. After getting the things, the two of them did not linger any longer and quickly walked towards the city gate.
They both breathed a sigh of relief after successfully getting out of the city gate before it was locked.
After opening the paper package, each person got a meat bun. The bun was not as hot as when it was just out of the oven, and the temperature was just right when held in the hand.
The two of them originally thought about chewing and savoring the buns slowly, but as soon as the buns entered their mouths, they couldn't control their mouths and finished the whole bun in just three or two bites.
Looking at his empty hands, Monkey Three felt a little annoyed, but the fat man began to blame Monkey Three.
"I told you to buy some steamed buns, but you didn't listen. Two cents can buy two steamed buns, which at least fills you up."
"Hey, don't be like that. I said I would eat it myself, but you wanted to buy it yourself. Now you blame me. What does it have to do with me?"
"That's what I said..."
The fat man was just complaining, and he knew that his reasons for blaming Monkey Three were untenable.
The monkey ignored him and the two fell into silence.
One bun did not satisfy them, but instead aroused their greater desire. They wanted to eat meat buns, and wanted to eat lots and lots of meat buns.
The copper coins they currently have are not enough to fulfill their desire. Currently, there is only one fastest way to realize their wish, which is to intercept today's target.
"No, we can't give up. We have been waiting all day and didn't see those three people come out. That person must have left the two sisters at the inn."
"That person has a lot of money. We must not let this big fish go. Let's continue to guard it tomorrow. If one day doesn't work, we'll go for two days. If two days don't work, we'll go for three days. I don't believe they can stay in the inn forever."
Monkey Three suddenly spoke and scared the fat man next to him. After the fat man reacted, he nodded.
"Okay, it doesn't matter where you are, so it's better to change your position. Today's income has obviously increased. Even if I can't get them out, it's still good to have the income I got today."
After the two made up their minds, they did not delay any longer and walked quickly along the road towards the City God Temple. They wanted to rest early and get up early tomorrow to go into the city and block people.
After returning to the City God Temple, Monkey Three subconsciously looked in the direction of Jinbao and Yinbao's original location. As expected, there was no trace of them there, only a pile of dead grass left.
When he withdrew his gaze, he caught a glimpse of Old Man Yu's seat being empty. Monkey Three was a little surprised and asked.
"Where is old man Yu?"
After a long while, someone answered: "Dead."
Hou San was not surprised by this answer. Old Man Yu coughed every day and everyone subconsciously stayed away from him. Looking at his appearance, they knew he would not live long, so it was normal that he did not survive.
But what was abnormal was that many people were unwilling to do something like moving corpses because they thought it was unlucky. Monkey Three and Fatty couldn't stand sharing a room with a dead person, so they moved the corpse together.
Later, they accidentally found some copper coins dropped on a dead body. When they encountered this job again, they became much more proactive.
After a long time, everyone tacitly left this task to their brothers. What is happening today?
Not long after Lin Chuyi left with the gold and silver treasures, Old Man Yu closed his eyes and never opened them again.
Except for the lame young man who accepted Lin Chuyi's commission, no one paid attention to the changes in the old man.
The young man had been sitting with his back against the pillar, looking at Old Man Yu from time to time. Seeing that he had been lying there motionless with his eyes closed and his chest not rising or falling, he knew that the old man was probably dead.
He was new here and didn't know the old rules, so having accepted Lin Chuyi's commission, he naturally had to fulfill his promise.
He stood up with the help of a pillar, went out for a while, and came back an hour later.
The young man limped to Old Man Yu's side, reached out to feel his breath, confirmed that he was dead, reached out and held Old Man Yu's shoulders, and helped him up.
Then, the young man held up Lao Yutou's arm, half-knelt with his back to the old man, and tried hard to lift him up.
Old Yu had become skinny as a result of illness, but even if he was thin, he still weighed several dozen kilograms.
The young man's leg injury had not healed yet. Although he took the painkillers given by Lin Chuyi, after he walked for a long time on his own after taking the medicine, his injured leg began to ache again.
The extra weight on his back almost made it impossible for him to get up, but he did not give up. He gritted his teeth and persevered, with veins on his neck popping out.
Finally, the young man managed to stand up and walked towards the temple gate step by step, carrying Old Man Yu on his back.
It was then that other people in the temple realized that Old Man Yu was dead. There was not much sadness in their eyes because they had seen the same situation too many times.
Maybe they would be the next one. Old Man Yu was better off than them. At least he had a good meal before he died.
