Zhenfubao waved his hand and the warehouse was full of grain, and the whole family regretted it

Chapter 178 Are you trying to take advantage of us?

These refugees also flocked over and began pointing at them.

Everyone gathered around Lin Tugen. An old man, his beard trembling with anger, pointed at Lin Tugen's nose and cursed:

"How can you be so ungrateful! The monks in Lingbi Town kindly invited you to the mountains for a vegetarian meal. It was an act of compassion and a way to save all living beings.

You, on the other hand, are so mean and rude! "

A woman holding her child said with disdain:

"Look at you, the masters have good intentions, but you are so rude.

In this world, good and evil are rewarded. You will be punished by heaven for treating your benefactor this way. The Buddha's wisdom is watching you!

Lin Tugen looked at them coldly and said:

"I can't do without vegetarian food, how can you be so kind?

Get out of here now, or we'll beat you to death."

Lin Tugen immediately took out the knife in his hand. Master Bai frowned. Old Tian sneered and said, "Is there something wrong with Lin Tugen? Why doesn't he eat the free food?"

Master Bai shook his head and said, "I think there's something fishy going on here. Who would rush to deliver food? This could be a trap."

"No way? We don't have anything good, so why would these people go to such great lengths to trick us into the mountains?" Lao Tian was a little confused.

Master Bai frowned and said:

“You think there’s nothing good about it, but those people may not think so.

We all have things on our backs, and these people might have ulterior motives."

The master sighed and said:

"Amitabha, forget it, since they don't want to, we won't force them. Anyone willing to go up the mountain with me, please line up.

Although we can't feed you enough, we can at least fill your stomach.

Of course, we have quite a few guests, so we can only treat you to one or two meals."

Some people knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Master, be merciful! The Buddha has appeared!"

"These people have gone too far. I think they should be expelled from Lingbi Town."

"Isn't it? They don't deserve to stay in Lingbi Town."

The master quickly waved his hand and said:

"Everyone, don't get excited. They are free to come and go. We cannot restrict them.

So, let’s go up the mountain first!”

The master took them directly up the mountain and planned to rest in Lingbi Town tonight.

In Lingbi Town, there are traces of refugees everywhere, and the original inhabitants have already fled.

In the streets and alleys, different groups of refugees each occupy their own piece of the world.

Some flocked into the deserted homes of wealthy families. Those mansions that were once the domain of noble families have now become gathering places for refugees to shelter from the wind and rain.

Some refugees flocked to temples, and some even hid quietly in the corners of towns and cities, not interacting with others.

Master Bai finally stopped in a relatively remote place.

It was a simple thatched house. When the only one or two refugees saw them coming, they ran away like frightened birds.

Everyone stayed here temporarily. Although the hut was shabby, it had a spacious yard.

The women lived in a thatched hut. There was no furniture in the hut, but it was sheltered.

The rest of the people settled down in the yard. Mrs. Bai started to cook dinner for the night, while the carpenter, Huangmao and Lin Changgou kept walking around the house.

Old man Tian and his family lived with them, and Old man Tian’s two sons also went out for inspection.

Mrs. Bai cooked dinner with Huangmao Niang and Lin Changgou's wife.

Tonight I made wild vegetable porridge again, and put some wolf meat in it.

After dinner, Zhao Qiaoniang decided to go to the mountain here to take a look. The mountain here is not far from the town, just a cup of tea away.

So Zhao Qiaoniang planned to take a group of female soldiers to the mountains to take a look. Now the temperature in the mountains is getting lower and lower, and it will not be easy to go up the mountain in the future.

Although they had food, they had eaten all the wild vegetables and there was not enough water.

It's always better to be prepared. The carpenter recently made five more wooden barrels, so he can get more water when the time comes.

Water consumption is still quite high now. Half of Zhao Qiaoniang's buckets are empty.

Even if they are frugal, they still need water to eat and drink every day!

The water was used up too quickly. Everyone else hadn't taken a shower for a long time. Except for Lin Wanwan, everyone else smelled bad.

Whenever Mrs. Bai saw that Lin Wanwan was dirty, she would help her wash and wipe it.

Bathing her is impossible. Sometimes I will help her wash her butt, but if I don’t help her wash and clean her, she really can’t stand it.

Although she is not a germaphobe, she still likes cleanliness very much.

Master Bai looked at them and said, "We only need to keep one crossbow. You will inevitably encounter danger when you go up the mountain. You should take all the crossbows with you."

Zhao Qiaoniang nodded and said, "Okay, Uncle Bai, let's go up the mountain."

Zhao Qiaoniang led a group of women up the mountain, and hid the milk candy directly in her pocket.

At first, Zhao Qiaoniang was quite scared, but now she found it quite cute. She touched Naitang's head and said, "Let's go!"

When Wang Qiuju saw them going up the mountain, she also led her people up the mountain, more than sixty people in total.

Wang Qiuju's subordinates asked, "Qiuju, why do we have to follow them all the time?"

Wang Qiuju sneered:

"Don't you think Zhao Qiaoniang is a little strange?

Their team is made up entirely of women, yet they never lack food or water. I doubt they have the ability to find food and water."

Wang Qiuju had been observing them for a long time and always felt that something was wrong.

Zhao Qiaoniang frowned and looked at Wang Qiuju not far away.

Mulan sneered, "Hey! Wang Qiuju, why are you following us? Are you trying to take advantage of us? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?"

Wang Qiuju glared at them and said, "You guys opened this mountain road, didn't you? If you can go, why can't we?"

Zhao Qiaoniang sneered and said, "Of course everyone can leave, but don't blame us if something goes wrong."

Wang Qiuju glared at her and said, "You go your way, and we go our way. Why should I blame you?"

Cui Ya said loudly: "Then you must remember your words, don't blame us for your death or life."

After saying that, Zhao Qiaoniang led them inside.

The entrance to Lingbi Mountain is a dead and desolate scene.

There is no grass on the rolling hillsides, only exposed yellow-brown rocks and cracked soil.

The low shrubs were left with only dry branches, shivering in the cold wind.

The trees were in an even more miserable state. The bark on their tall trunks had been stripped clean by hungry people and animals.

There is definitely nothing to be found outside this area. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at Wang Qiuju and kindly reminded her:

"We are going into the deep mountains, so you'd better not follow us. The deep mountains are different from the outside.

If you encounter a large wild beast, you won't even have time to run away."
