Chapter 144 Luo Xiaoran and Yun Hu both revealed their identities
Yun Hu's slightly hot head cooled down in an instant. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Luo Xiaoran with a hidden gaze.
When he killed the group of bandits before, Luo Xiaoran was standing next to him. The bandit leader's head even rolled to the side of her shoes, which scared her greatly.
After his men completely wiped out the bandit's nest, he thought of Luo Xiaoran who was extremely frightened, and thought of telling her about the bandit's nest to ease her fear.
Luo Xiaoran listened carefully to the process of the refugees becoming bandits, and occasionally struck up a conversation so that he wouldn't have to tell the story alone. At that time, he felt something was strange.
Thinking about it now, the strange feeling is that although it had not been long since the incident, Luo Xiaoran no longer showed any signs of being frightened. She even enthusiastically made a plate of fried pork tenderloin that night.
Just imagine, after seeing such a bloody fight, can a little girl still have the mind to prepare a meal carefully?
will not.
He even suspected that Luo Xiaoran's initial panic and fear were all fake. If that was the case, then this little girl was definitely not an ordinary person.
Yun Hu became suspicious of Luo Xiaoran, and Luo Xiaoran also had doubts about Yun Hu and the Dongfeng Caravan.
So, she found an opportunity to test the waters a little and told Yunhu that the yield of sweet potatoes was very high. Sure enough, the other party was very interested, even a little fanatical.
They behave like a military, are very interested in the high-yield sweet potatoes, and often go to the northern border to transport labor to the northern border under the guise of human trafficking... This Dongfeng caravan is probably related to the King of Yan who guards the northern border.
If this conjecture is true, then she has secured the strongest support in the North, and her future stable life will be more secure.
The next day, the weather was sunny and windy.
Ever since Luo Xiaoran mentioned the matter of peppers and sweet potatoes in front of Yun Hu last night, Yun Hu's attitude towards Luo Xiaoran has been very indulgent.
Although she was not allowed to enter the caravan in name, in reality, Luo Xiaoran could move freely in the entire caravan as long as she did not get close to the goods in the carriage.
At noon, the caravan stopped by a river to rest. The river water was very clear, but the weather was a bit cold now, and they might catch a cold if they went into the water to fish.
Luo Xiaoran walked to Yunhu's horse. She liked Yunhu's horse very much. She heard that its name was Zhuifeng, which was a very cool name!
"Captain Yunhu, I remember when we first met, you said that your team had a lot of good stuff. Do you have a fishing rod?"
Yun Hu was stunned. There really was no fishing rod. "You want to eat fish? I'll tell someone to go down to the river and catch some."
Luo Xiaoran gently touched Zhuifeng's neck, and Zhuifeng immediately turned his head and rubbed her hand affectionately, which made Yunhu jealous. He was Zhuifeng's master, but Zhuifeng's attitude towards him was so cold.
"The water is very cold. It's easy to catch a cold if you go down into the river. Besides, the river doesn't look shallow, so fishing is the safest method."
Finally, Luo Xiaoran found a kind of line with good toughness in a truck of goods that could be used as fishing line.
I also found an embroidery needle and bent it to make a fish hook. As for the fishing rod, it was a bamboo pole, and the bait was fresh earthworms that I dug up.
Just when Luo Xiaoran and Niu Dan found a perfect spot for fishing, the group of women who had cried and begged Yun Hu to take them in also followed them to the river.
Luo Xiaoran looked up and counted. Not bad, not a single one was missing. It was worthy of praise.
The Dongfeng caravan, including Luo Xiaoran and Niu Dan, all had horses, but this group of women could only walk on foot. It was indeed not easy for them to catch up with them.
The women wet their handkerchiefs and wiped the sweat off their faces. Looking from afar, each of them had their own unique looks, and the sight of so many beautiful girls was pitiful. Only Yun Hu, the straight man, could resist such temptation.
The bamboo pole in his hand seemed to move. Luo Xiaoran retracted his gaze and focused on his fishing rod. It moved again and he pulled the pole upward with force. The straight bamboo pole that was slanted horizontally actually had an arc. It seemed to be a big fish.
"Splash--" A big carp broke through the water, and its tail swung left and right, but its mouth was hooked tightly by the fishhook and it could not break free. Luo Xiaoran won the first battle of her fishing trip.
Next to Luo Xiaoran was the fish grill she had set up in advance. Niu Dan helped to add fire and turn the fish over. Luo Xiaoran continued to sit on the fishing platform.
When Yi Ru saw Luo Xiaoran's leisurely look, she no longer had the energy to think about the words "envy" and "desire". She was too hungry. She had hardly had a drop of water or food since she came out of the bandit's lair yesterday.
Seeing that Luo Xiaoran had also caught the second fish, Yi Ru felt a little jealous. She didn't dare to go to the Dongfeng Caravan again, so she could only try her luck with Luo Xiaoran.
"Little girl, can you sell this fish to me?" Yi Ru walked to Luo Xiaoran's side and asked cautiously.
"Don't call me little girl, little girl, it makes me sound like a child. My name is Luo Xiaoran."
Luo Xiaoran looked at Yi Ru and the dozen women behind her, thought for a moment, and said slowly:
“If you have money, I may not want to make money, but this fish has different prices in different places.
Besides, I don’t know how many I can catch. I have to make sure my sister and I don’t go hungry first, and then I can think about other things.”
Yi Ru was a smart person. She immediately understood what Luo Xiaoran meant and took out a silver ingot of five taels from her sleeve. "I'll use this to buy five fish, okay?"
Wow - one tael of silver for a fish, what a big deal.
"You are indeed generous, but I have no intention of taking advantage of your misfortune. I still say the same thing. You have to make sure my brother and I have enough to eat first." He had to leave a portion for Yun Hu.
While he was talking, the third fish was caught. Luo Xiaoran was a little surprised.
To be honest, she now reasonably suspects that this river is because it is on the official road and few people come here to catch fish, so the fish here are relatively stupid and take the bait one after another.
Yi Ru was also very happy to see Luo Xiaoran catch another fish. After all, the more fish Luo Xiaoran caught, the more likely she was to sell the fish to her.
The Dongfeng Caravan was only taking a break here. After eating some bread and drinking some water, they were about to continue on their journey. By the time Luo Xiaoran had caught five fish, the Dongfeng Caravan was ready to leave.
After Luo Xiaoran grilled the first fish she caught, she and Niu Dan shared it. It was delicious just by sprinkling a little salt on it.
The second one was roasted and sent to Yun Hu, so now she only had three ready-made live fish.
Seeing Luo Xiaoran put out the fire for grilling fish, Yi Ru frowned, she knew that Luo Xiaoran was going to leave with the Dongfeng Caravan.
Yi Ru originally wanted to fight for it again, but then she remembered what she said about leaving enough fish for them to eat, and she felt that it was hopeless, so she gave up.
Unexpectedly, the Dongfeng caravan left. Luo Xiaoran extinguished the fire for grilling fish, but turned around, sat down steadily, and continued fishing.
