After the house was confiscated, I relied on billions of dollars in supplies to become a group favor

Chapter 19
Let me tell you, roasted sweet potatoes do taste delicious.

Ruan He suppressed the glutton in his stomach and thought about waiting until late at night to eat some soft and sweet pastries. The pastries were light and not afraid of being smelled.

Just as I was thinking about it, the official came down to distribute the steamed bread.

It was still the same palm-sized rough flour bun, and each person had a bowl of water.

"Here, let's bake the rough-flour steamed buns to make them softer." Mrs. Mutai took the initiative to take over the task of baking the steamed buns. She couldn't help with collecting firewood, so naturally she did what she could.

The originally dry and hard steamed buns did become softer after being roasted on the fire, and they looked a bit bigger. However, it also depends on the heat. If the tongue of flames licks up accidentally, it may burn it.

Everyone in the exiled team followed the same example, and for a while the place exuded a scent of wheat.

Next came the sound of chewing food.

After another day of walking, we were indeed tired. No one was fussing or quarreling at night. Everyone was sitting and lying quietly by their own fires.

"Squeak... squeak..."

There was a strange cry in the distance.

People who had been sitting and resting or about to fall asleep suddenly opened their eyes alertly, and their entire backs tensed up.

"What's that sound? It can't be a beast, right?"

"Don't be afraid. There are so many of us. If wild animals dare to come, the official will protect us."

"Yes, yes, if a wild beast or something comes and it never comes back, we will have meat to eat."

In the darkness, there was the sound of someone swallowing saliva.

Ruan He felt that they were too optimistic. They still wanted to eat meat at this time. In such a dense forest, animals would be so stupid that one would appear. If they came, it would be a group!
"Squeak, squeak..."

The sound got closer and closer, and Ruan He seemed to see a dark shadow in the distance.

She silently added two firewood to the fire, as if this would add some sense of security!

"Everyone who is sleeping, wake up. A wild beast is coming. Protect yourselves." Li Jiang quickly called the officials to get up. This was the first difficulty on the road to exile.

I saw a black and gray thing jumping into the team.

Suddenly the team was screaming again and again.

"It's a rat. It's such a big rat. It scared me to death!"

"Stone him."

"More and more rats are coming."

Li Jiang looked at the lump of gray fur, which was about the size of a kitten, and his brows wrinkled.

He raised his voice and said, "No, this is a mountain rat! It's carnivorous. The mountain rat has sharp teeth. Don't be bitten by it. It can tear off the skin and flesh."

The people in the team were even more scared.

After a while, someone screamed, "Ah——"

I saw the mountain rat crawling onto the man's body and biting the man's shoulder with its sharp teeth. Blood gurgled out, and several mountain rats surrounded him.

I saw Li Jiang pull out the knife that shone with cold light, first picked off the mountain rat with one blow, and then chopped off the mountain rat's head with one stroke, with a sharp and crisp movement.

"Why don't we have any mountain rats here?" Mu Yunchao muttered while nervously supporting Mrs. Mutai.

Mu Yunxiao, who was leaning against the tree trunk, half-squinted his eyes and said, "It's fire!"

Among the entire team, their fire was so big and bright that the mountain rats were naturally afraid to come over.

Ruan He looked at the team in chaos, especially those whose fires were extinguished. They were surrounded by so many mountain rats that it made one's scalp numb just by looking at them.

"Yun Chao, take good care of your grandmother and... my husband." Ruan He hesitated but said these three words. She raised the torch and ran towards the official officer.If we don't show it at this critical moment, when will we show it again?

When Ruan He passed by Mu Zhengbai and Zhang, he was so horrified that Zhang trembled, "She, she's not afraid of death?"

Ruan He had already run to Li Jiang's side in a few steps.

"Sir, give me a knife. I can help kill the mountain rats." She stood still and said.

Li Jiang was cutting down a mountain rat, but unexpectedly a mountain rat climbed up to his ankle. Ruan He kicked it and kicked the mountain rat three meters away.

He was a little startled.

In addition to being lucky, the woman in front of me is also very skilled, right?
"The sabers are all distributed by the imperial court, and each official only has one. However, I also have a personal dagger that I will lend to you. Kill more mountain rats and I will remember your merit!"

As he spoke, Li Jiang pulled out a dagger from his boot.

Ruan He held a torch in one hand and a dagger in the other, with a stern white face, waving the dagger in the crowd. As long as he swung the knife down, he would always draw blood.

"Squeak--" The mountain rat's screams also came one after another.

In addition to Ruan He and Guan Chai who were killing mountain rats, Mu Yunxiao also shouted loudly, "Pull out the firewood from the fire and form a circle. If people stand in the circle, the mountain rats will not dare to come in."

There was a panic at this time, and only a few people heard Mu Yunxiao's words.

Aunt Bai and Aunt Zong are two of them.

As soon as she formed a circle around the firewood, Mrs. Zhang pushed her out of the circle and said, "Go to the other side. There is no room for people in such a small circle."

Aunt Zong was holding Mu Yuanyuan, but Zhang did not push her out.

Aunt Bai was pushed to the ground. Before she could react, she felt a sharp sting on her hand. It turned out that a gray mountain rat had bitten off a piece of flesh on her wrist.

And more and more mountain rats were crawling towards her.

A mountain rat even climbed onto her face. The feeling of the mountain rat's fur rubbing against her face, and the feeling of its claws stepping on her face.

Aunt Bai felt that her mind had stopped.

At this moment, a gleaming dagger appeared in front of her eyes. She widened her pupils and saw the dagger slash across her face. The mountain rat on her face was cut open in the stomach, and her face was covered with blood.

And she still has a lot of mountain rats on her body.

What appeared in front of her was Ruan He's enlarged face.

"Tell me, why did you break the bowl to frame me?" Ruan He asked coldly.

"I was wrong, save me, save me..." Aunt Bai looked at the dagger in Ruan He's hand. She froze and did not dare to move, hoping that Ruan He would kill all the mountain rats on her body.

"If you don't tell me, if you don't tell me, my dagger was probably wrong. I accidentally scratched your neck when I was killing the mountain rat. I didn't know about it." Ruan He showed a cold and stern look, playing the role of this well-behaved farmer. I have been a woman for so long that I almost forgot that I also crawled out of the dead.

"I said, I'm just jealous of you. I'm jealous that you can marry the eldest young master, and I'm just a humble and unpopular concubine. I don't dare anymore, woo woo woo!"

Aunt Bai burst into tears.

Ruan He killed all the mountain rats on Aunt Bai's body one by one with his dagger, and then pulled her up, "If you can climb trees, roll up the tree."

"I'll meet you." Aunt Bai hurriedly ran towards a tree.

Because the mountain rats are now frantically attacking people who are standing, those who escape into the trees can escape.

The reason why he didn't deal with Aunt Bai was not because Ruan He was soft-hearted, but mainly because he had to leave people at Mu Zhengbai and Zhang's disposal, otherwise they would definitely cause trouble for him.

She didn't even wipe the blood from the dagger and started to rescue the next person who was haunted by mountain rats.
