Chapter 141: Second Black-Eating-Black
Gu Wenxuan couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, we have the money to pay it back. The reason we borrowed money from him is just because Jingzhou and I don't have that much cash on hand."
Not to mention that she and Bai Jingzhou still have a lot of things saved that can be converted into cash. Even if they don’t have that, aren’t there ready-made bandit dens waiting for her to rob?
Last time she and Bai Jingzhou went to the west, this time they could consider going to the north.
There are also mountains in the north, and there are bandits on the mountains, and there is money in the bandits' dens.
Thinking of this, Gu Wenxuan turned her head to look at Bai Jingzhou who was quietly eating a bun, "How about we do a few more jobs to make up for the loss?"
Bai Jingzhou nodded at her and said, "We can bring more people with us this time."
Gu Wenxuan smiled, "That's great. Taking everyone with us will not only help everyone practice their courage, but also allow everyone to make a small fortune with us. It can be considered killing two birds with one stone."
Bai Jingshan and the others were confused, not knowing what the two were up to. Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan had no intention of revealing the mystery immediately. Bai Jingzhou called out to the others, "Eat it while it's hot. It won't taste so good if it gets cold."
Bai Jingshan and the other two: ...
Under the warm hospitality of Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou, Bai Jingshan ate a sesame cake, a donkey meat hot bun, and three large meat buns, while Fang Youfu and Fang Youcai each ate two sesame cakes, two donkey meat hot buns, and more than ten large meat buns.
This is the result of them controlling their food intake, otherwise they could have eaten even more.
Gu Wenxuan was in the same situation as them. She was reluctant to eat all the good things, so she ate half full to calm herself down, and then put the rest away.
When passing by Liulin Town, Gu Wenxuan settled the rental fee for today with the driver, and then took everyone to buy a lot of cakes.
All kinds of cakes, such as caozi cake, glutinous rice strips, mung bean cake, red bean cake, walnut cake, jujube flower cake, crab shell yellow, ox tongue biscuit, thousand-layer hemp leaf, and salt and pepper hemp twist... Gu Wenxuan asked the shop assistant to weigh two kilograms of all the cakes that they had coveted before but were reluctant to buy to try.
When they returned to Baijia Village, Gu Wenxuan first gave thirty meat buns, ten sesame cakes and ten donkey meat hot buns to Bai Jingzhou, then gave another thirty meat buns, five sesame cakes and five donkey meat hot buns to Bai Jingshan, and sixty meat buns, ten sesame cakes and ten donkey meat hot buns to the brothers Fang Youfu and Fang Youcai. Finally, she took all the rest back to her own home.
Bai Jingshan, Fang Youfu and Fang Youcai thanked them and hurried back to their homes.
It was still the same old rule. They would not even tell their families what Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan took them to do. Their families were also very sensible. After they said "can't tell" once, their families never asked about it again.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan always asked them to bring food, daily necessities and even money home.
In the eyes of their families, they were doing things for Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou for a fee, so keeping secrets for their masters was naturally their duty.
Of course, the Fang family and the Bai family think this way because they are upright and clear-minded.
Otherwise, if it were some fools, they would not think that they should put themselves in the right position as workers just because their children got benefits. They would only use the relationship between them as an excuse and ask the relatives who hired their children to give their children more money and better positions.
As for spying on the other party through their own children, they would not think it is a taboo.
After all, “we are all relatives”, so what’s wrong with them asking around?
It is precisely because there are too many such relatives who have no sense of propriety and are insatiable that Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan will focus on examining the character and temperament of the other party and his family before hiring them.
They would not trust people who themselves or their family members had flaws in character and temperament, such as Bai Jingzhou's aunt and Gu Wenxuan's third grandmother, no matter how close they were to them.
Gu Wenxuan didn't want to sell the valuables that she and Bai Jingzhou had hoarded, so the next day after they returned home, they took Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan, Fang Youfu, and Fang Youcai to a mountain in the north.
The mountain was quite far from Baijia Village. If they took a shortcut, they would need to first pass by the foot of the hill where Jiajia Village was located, and then continue north for about eighty miles before they could reach their destination.
In other words, it would take them almost two days just to travel back and forth.
Under the pretext of "going into the mountains for training on the master's orders" and informing their family, Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan took the necessary things and left the village at daybreak together with Bai Jingshan, Ning Qirui, Jia Yuelan, Fang Youfu and Fang Youcai.
On the way, the know-it-all Bai Jingzhou was responsible for telling everyone the specific situation of the bandit's den that was their target during the breaks. He kept up the pace to cooperate with everyone, and Gu Wenxuan, who was traveling easily, was responsible for teaching everyone what "human hearts are treacherous, and the world is treacherous" meant.
She walked leisurely among the crowd as if she was strolling in a garden, and spoke slowly and calmly about the bad guys and bad things in the story backgrounds she had adapted.
Bai Jingshan and others have been living in a relatively simple countryside. The bad guys here are not only superficial and straightforward, but also have very limited lethality. The incredible things that Gu Wenxuan said, not to mention seeing and experiencing them with their own eyes, it was even the first time they heard about them.
Therefore, everyone felt that this time their horizons had truly been broadened.
In this way, the six slightly tired people traveled for almost a whole day and arrived at the hill where the bandit camp was located before the sun set.
It is worth mentioning that this bandit camp was not built on the south side of the mountain or on the top of the mountain, but on the halfway up the north side of the mountain. In other words, the location where Gu Wenxuan and others appeared was not within the bandits' vigilance range.
Gu Wenxuan distributed the cakes she brought to everyone, "Just eat a bite. We can't light a fire tonight."
Everyone nodded.
Gu Wenxuan had told them before that living in the wilderness, the smoke would expose their whereabouts, so no one was surprised at all that they would have to eat cold food tonight.
Fortunately, pastries are not like steamed buns, which can be eaten cold. Besides, these things are what they want to eat, but they rarely get to eat them, or have never eaten them at all.
A group of seven people formed a circle of neither too big nor too small, tasting various Chinese dim sum cautiously but with great satisfaction, while discussing with their companions which one was delicious, which one was more delicious, and which one was the most delicious.
Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou did not feel out of place in the midst of it. After all, they had not tasted this kind of sugar and oil mixture that could bring them a sense of satisfaction and happiness for a long time.
