Pseudo master, she just wants to live

Chapter 37
When Fang Yao and the others rushed to the nearest official road, morning light suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

This is the main road leading to Liyang County. Every thirty or forty miles, there are government post stations. The sky is getting brighter, and the villagers are worried and afraid all night, and they are completely relieved when they come here.

There was a withered willow grove near the official road, and the villagers, who hadn't had a good rest for two days and one night, took a rest in the forest.

Everyone was exhausted, and several seriously injured villagers were dying.

Many people didn't make the floor bedding, and lay on the ground with their clothes on, and soon let out a dull snoring sound.

Fang Yao insisted on laying out a layer of straw mats, and asked Ah Wu to help lift Jiang from the cart.

The two children couldn't open their eyes, and Fang Yao was too tired. She leaned her head on the tree, half covered her eyes with the straw hat Er Ya gave her, and fell asleep with the little sister in her arms.

When she woke up, it was already bright, and it was almost noon when she saw the sun.

On the official road, there are gradually more people, and most of them are people who have left their homes like them.

Fang Yao yawned. In fact, she was still very sleepy, but last night she ran all the way and barely ate anything, so she woke up from hunger.

The same goes for other villagers, and many injured villagers uttered "Ouch" from time to time because the weather was too hot and their wounds were inflamed.

"Master, are you awake?"

Patriarch Li Fugui walked over with a colorful pig's face.

Fang Yao narrowed her eyes and looked at him, "Li Fugui, what happened yesterday? I heard you call that person's name, do you know them?"

If it wasn't for Li Fugui's misery, she wondered if the old man had deliberately led everyone into a trap.

"Hu Laoqi! It's all Hu Laoqi's fault!"

Mentioning this, Li Fugui was so angry that smoke came from his nostrils.

Niuheshang Village is a relatively large village in Liyang County, with a total of about a hundred households.And Hu Laoqi relied on his father being a village official, so he became a local snake in the village.

The conflict between Li Fugui and Niuheshang Village was related to Hu Laoqi.

In the past, when Li Fugui went to the county to do business, he passed by Niuheshang Village, and was stopped by Hu Laoqi and some village ruffians, who insisted on making him pay a large amount of toll.

Although Li Fugui is the patriarch of Lijia Village and also in charge of affairs, compared with Niuheshang Village, it is a poor mountain village after all.

Being ridden on the head by Hu Laoqi to shit and piss, he had no choice but to swallow his anger, and then found a side road, which was the place that was robbed last night.

"Then Hu Laoqi used to do all kinds of evil, but he never thought that after the epidemic, he would become a bandit who seeks wealth and murder!" Li Fugui said bitterly.

Fang Yao was full of puzzlement, she quietly checked the booklet on the way, and there was indeed a cloud of black "ink" on it.

She was very sure that the ball of "ink" was grabbed from Hu Laoqi's mouth by the booklet.

Fang Yao thought of Hu Laoqi's crazy appearance of gnawing on people, and probably had something to do with that strange bug, but how could the strange bug that stayed on the mouse monster appear in the human body...

"Master, thanks to you last night, if it wasn't for you, we...we..." Li Fugui's eyes turned red when he said this, "You have saved our Li family village so many times, this is a great favor..."

Seeing that Li Fugui was about to kneel and kowtow again, Fang Yao had a headache.

Suddenly, a low moan came from beside him.

Fang Yao's heart moved, she looked down, and it turned out that Jiang Shi, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.

"You...Second Sister, where is this?" Jiang Shi rubbed her temples and sat up.

"Sister, you are awake! We are near the official road."

People don't faint for no reason, Fang Yao worried, "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

Jiang seemed to be a little confused, and after a while she said calmly: "Probably because I'm too tired."

Fang Yao laughed: "Sister, why is your body not as good as mine, let me make up for you today."

As she spoke, her eyes fell on the hen tied to the cart to bask in the sun...

Originally, she wanted to keep the chicken to lay eggs and give birth to cubs, but Jiang's body was like this, and many villagers were also injured, so Fang Yao changed her mind.

Knowing that Fang Yao was going to stew chicken soup, the villagers' eyes lit up with excitement, and they didn't want to sleep at all. They all got up to help build the stove to kill the chicken.

The patriarch Li Fugui took out his own collection of sesame oil and salt, as well as some wild vegetables that had been marinated for a long time, and boiled a large pot of chicken soup in a large iron pot.

"smell good……"

The white oil and chicken boiled in the pot exude a strong aroma.

The whole village, old and young, swallowed their saliva around the soup pot.

"We haven't eaten meat for several years. I didn't expect to be able to drink chicken soup on such an ordinary day. It feels like Chinese New Year."

"That's thanks to our master. If it weren't for the master, let alone chicken soup, you wouldn't even be able to see the chicken feathers."

"Damn, we used to be blind and said that the master is a broom star, but I can see that he is a lucky star!"

A Wu Niang squeezed her face full of folds and hummed softly: "This chicken is from my family to Master."

Fang Yao didn't bother to talk to the little old lady, and compared to Hu Laoqi's group of robbers, A Wu Niang became less hideous.

Her attention was on the pot.

She hasn't eaten meat for more than a month, which really makes her hungry.

When the chicken soup was finally ready, each person shared a bowl of chicken soup and the pot was bottomed out, but it was very satisfying to eat with dry food.

Fang Yao rubbed and rubbed the two chicken bones that were clean and smooth, but she still couldn't bear to throw them away. She burst into tears and thought, she must quickly find a way to make money and live a life of eating meat every day!
It's already noon after eating and drinking enough, and the sun outside is scorching, making the willows, which are already lacking energy, even more wilted.

Fang Yao yawned drowsily and was about to catch up on sleep when suddenly the sound of a bell came from behind her.

She turned her head to look, raised her eyebrows slightly, and saw three Taoist priests in blue Taoist robes walking towards them.

These three Taoist priests were carrying burdens, male and female, all of them looked like dusty people.

The female Taoist priest looked very young, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was also very delicate. She glanced at Fang Yao and the others, and pouted her mouth: "Brother, why are you sitting with these refugees... ..."

Refugees?

Fang Yao looked down at herself, the patched linen clothes were covered with dust, she really looked like a refugee.

"Junior Sister, didn't you just call it hot? There is only such a forest here, don't worry about it so much." Another young Taoist said with a smile.

They found a shady place to sit down, then dug out the dry food in the pack, talked and laughed and ate.

"what……"

The young male Taoist bowed his head and picked up the things around him, "This is still a bone, I said why it smells so good here."

The female Taoist priest glanced at the villagers, and said casually, "I'm afraid these refugees didn't steal it from somewhere."

Most of the villagers had already gone to bed, except for Fang Yao and Jiang Shi, there were a few left guarding their luggage. Everyone was annoyed when they heard this.

"you……"

Before the villagers could open their mouths, the older Taoist immediately reprimanded in a low voice: "Junior Sister, what did you tell me before you go out, don't talk nonsense!"

The villagers believed in gods, although they were very angry when they were misunderstood, but since they had already taught them a lesson, they couldn't say anything more.

The female Taoist priest pursed her lips, as if she had been greatly wronged.

The Taoist priest who picked up the bones quickly threw away the things in his hands, and coaxed: "Junior sister, when I go to Liyang County to help Wang Yuanwai get rid of that monster, senior brother will buy you an osmanthus cake!"

"Don't talk too much!"

The old Taoist stared at the two of them, and there was a moment of silence under the tree.
