Chapter 97 - Food Nest
Chapter 97: Food Nest
Zhao Yingying thought to herself that her sister-in-law was indeed very popular. She could even subdue the bandits.
“Grab your weapons and follow me to the fields for a walk.” Jiang Xi shouted at everyone she met along the way. The villagers of Happy Village looked at her from a distance and did not dare to get close. Although they did not dare to get close, they still followed Jiang Xi and strolled around with her. If someone paid close attention, they would be able to see that there was some kind of connection between the roads that Jiang Xi was walking on.
The snow under her feet creaked as if there was a gap below.
“Sigh, our village will be tormented to death by Jiang Xi sooner or later. I told you that she shouldn’t have been the village chief. Now, so many bandits are listening to her. It’s freezing to death on this snowy day, and everyone still has to follow her around. Do you think walking around will get us food?” Someone complained in a low voice.
Everyone was still resentful about Jiang Xi letting the bandits live in the village, but they did not dare to say anything. After all, some of them had several pregnant women in their homes.
Jiang Xi put her hands behind her back, and the fiery red cloak made her look even more gorgeous. Zhao Yingying thought that her sister-in-law looked so weak that people in Jing City would think that she was easy to bully. At this moment, Zhao Yingying was very eager to go back to Jing City with Jiang Xi and shock those people!
“Crack! Boom! Boom!”
Just as the villagers were grumbling, they heard the snow under their feet suddenly fall. Many people slid into the pit and were buried in the snow. Everything was collapsing.
“What’s the matter? What’s going on? Why is there a pit?” A villager shouted in panic.
Jiang Xi looked at Zhao Yingying, who was also dumbfounded, and said, “Do you know what it means to advance step by step? Every step is important!” As she said that, she pointed at a small gully as thick as an arm, which was filled with food! It was filled with food! As expected, they were walking closer to the voles’ base camp!
The crowd was shocked and dumbfounded.
“Oh my God, this is the voles’ food nest, right?!” Someone exclaimed, which woke up the other people who were also surprised.
“Hurry up! Dig for food! They’re all food!” The villagers were excited! The entire Happy Village was in an uproar!
The people of the Happy Village worked hard for the whole night. In the snow that Jiang Xi and her people walked through, several grain warehouses were filled with grain. They could even smell the fragrance of rice.
“We’re practically ransacking the voles’ house!” Zhao Yingying swallowed her saliva.
Jiang Xi raised her eyebrows and gave Zhao Yingying a meaningful look. This person had actually discovered her hidden hobby. Since it was the desolate year and she could not raid other people’s houses, she might as well raid a vole’s hole.
There were people digging for food everywhere in Happy Village. Those who had previously said that Jiang Xi was not worthy of being the village chief all blushed and no longer dared to mention that.
On the snow mountain not far away…
“Eh? Wasn’t this place an ancient tomb? That little village chief asked us to rob the tomb? Even if you don’t eat much now, there’s no need to raid the tomb, right?” Guan Yi was confused. Food was the most important thing at this time. Why did Jiang Xi ask them to raid the tomb?
“Roar!” A roar suddenly came from the distance.
“Hurry up and dig. There are footprints here. I’m afraid there’s a wild beast.” Wu Tielong waved his hand. He was also suspicious of Jiang Xi’s words, but since he was already here, he would just watch. The group quickly dug three holes in the direction Jiang Xi had pointed out. It took them more than two hours to dig three holes. As expected, there were ancient tombs in the corner, and it was a group of ancient tombs. The three holes were connected, but there was no gloominess of an ancient tomb inside. Instead, there was a unique smell of animals.
“Be careful, there’s the smell of blood.” Wu Tielong frowned as he held the broadsword in his hand firmly.
The group passed through the twisted tomb. There seemed to be arrows flying out from the ground, nailing a bear’s skin to the ground. There were also many furs left behind by dead animals. The ancient tomb had probably been occupied by wild beasts long ago.
“I’m afraid these beasts dug out this ancient tomb because of the snow.” Wu Tielong and Guan Yi brought their brothers to pick up the animal fur on the ground. With the animal fur, they would not have to be afraid of freezing this winter anymore. There were many traps in the ancient tomb, but they had all been broken through by the wild beasts. Now, they could take advantage of this.
Wu Tielong, Guan Yi, and the others were all people who licked the blood on the tip of a blade. Of course, they were not afraid of any ancient tomb. However, when they really walked to the deepest part, they could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
