CHAPTER XXIX It's About to Rise to the Sky
Now that things had come to this, could he still chase them away?
Just at this time, Roe Deer Cao and Huo Wa came back with two horses in tow.
When Roe Deer Cao figured out Xiu Niang's identity, he immediately said: ”Master, you should have kept her. Otherwise, if she didn't fall into the hands of a bandit, then he would fall into the hands of a human being. If he were to be sold to a brothel, then her entire life will be ruined! ”
”I plead for the King to accept you!” Xiu Niang continued to plead.
”Fine, you can stay!” Jiang Xiaobai could only nod his head.
With this, everyone became happy. Jiang Xiaobai's team expanded once again, increasing to three men and one woman.
After greeting each other, everyone started to count the finances.
With a plentiful harvest, other than the four horses and the carriage, Jiang Xiaobai also found two other boxes inside the carriage.
A box belonged to Xiu Niang. It was only some coarse clothes, not even a tael of silver, and a few pieces of jewelry, so naturally it was all Xiu Niang's.
The other box was Dujisizhong's. Other than the two sets of silk clothes, there were also two gold coins, a hundred taels of silver, a pearl necklace and over a thousand copper coins.
In addition, food was replenished.
A 60-70 jin Great Gray Wolf and a 40-500 jin war horse were enough for these people to eat for a few months.
When they worked together to drag the war horse back, Roe Deer Cao sighed in regret and said: ”What a pity, if only I had enough salt, I could have marinated the horse meat!”
”Since my Yi Zhou lacks salt, I can only go to the county city to buy them.” Xiu Niang also felt some regret.
”You don't have to worry about the salt problem, I can solve it.” Jiang Xiaobai snickered in his heart. Salt was scarce in the ancient times, but it was widespread in the modern era.
Just go back and get as much salt as you want.
”Master, although horse meat is good, we can't delay the journey!” However, Roe Deer Cao ignored the horses and said: ”We cannot stay here for long, Master, shall we?”
Jiang Xiaobai was startled: ”On the way, where to?”
”Could the Master be here?” Roe Deer Cao looked at Jiang Xiaobai in shock and said: ”Dujisizhong has lost five horses, one car, and a beauty. He once said that the boss of Blizzard Village was his friend, and right now, he should have already reached the Blizzard Village! ”
This was indeed a serious problem, and Jiang Xiaobai was also thinking of a countermeasure.
However, Jiang Xiaobai had his own difficulties. His current range of movement was only a few hundred metres, he could not go anywhere else.
Of course, Jiang Xiaobai wasn't worried about his safety. There were two Portal of Space-time that could open at any time, and they would always leave this dimension at the most dangerous moment.
However, it was hard to say who the others were.
If Dujisizhong really invited people from the Blizzard Village, and if the Blizzard Village was really as Hei Huer had said, with three hundred men, these people simply could not resist.
”Master Cao, I can't leave this place!” Jiang Xiaobai thought for a while, then said: ”How about … Bring Huo Wa and Xiu Niang with you to Cao Jiagang to hide for a while, wait … ”
”Plop!” Roe Deer Cao suddenly knelt down, his face had a look of anger, and spoke in a serious tone: ”Does Master think that I, Cao Junchen, am a coward that fears death?”
”If they dare to come, I'll shoot them to death!” Huo Wa clenched his fists and said, ”Master, even though Huo Wa is young, he will definitely not be a coward that flees before the battle!”
