Chapter 6: Swear and Oath
A gust of cold wind blew by, and a few people came back to their senses. They looked at Baitao, and their tone of voice was full of respect and distress: "Auntie, thank you for your hard work."
As the saying goes, if you sow beans, you will reap beans; if you sow melons, you will reap melons. Nothing comes for free.
My aunt must have expended a lot of energy and sacrificed so much that they didn't even know she was doing.
If it weren't for them, if they weren't useless, why would my aunt be like this?
I think back then, if the ancestors of the Peach Blossom Immortal had not benevolently protected their ancestors, where would they be today.
Nowadays, my aunt has taken them to avoid disasters at a young age. She has spent all her energy and energy on behalf of the big guys. Their ancestors owe more and more to my aunt's lineage, and they will never be able to repay them even if they work hard in the next life.
Baitao didn't know what Bai Dashan and others were thinking. When she heard their concerned words, the corners of her mouth curved on her young face, making her whole person look even more soft and cute.
"Okay." Although it is a system task, Baitao also has benefits, but who would be unhappy when meeting someone who repays his kindness and knows how to be grateful.
They can all fight for her and go wherever she wants, and it's normal for her to live with them.
"We are all tired this day. Eat early and rest early." Baitao said, taking the lead to walk back, leaving Bai Dashan and others behind to carry things.
The box lunch prices are the same, but the ingredients are different.
Baitao picked the one with braised pork. As for the villagers, it depends on their luck. If they pick the meat, they will eat the meat, and if they pick the fish, they will eat the fish.
The ham sausages eaten during the day were the first time for the villagers to see them, and the box lunches they had for dinner were also their first time.
Everyone was surprised when they got the magical lunch box, holding it with both hands, excited and at a loss.
The villagers looked at the things in their hands and looked at each other, unable to speak for a long time.
"Village, village chief..." This, such a good thing, can they eat it?
"Really, really delicious?" Are they worthy of eating? !
Bai Dashan led people to distribute rice, and he kept repeating: "One for each person, one for each person. If there are young children at home, we can share the food together."
Hearing the stammering uncertainty next to him, he didn't even raise his head: "There is food in it, just eat it. Don't act like you have never seen the world, and others will look at you and show off your aunt's face."
Upon hearing this, the villagers looked at the lunch boxes in their hands. They were farmers in the countryside. The furthest they went to the town was to buy some soy sauce, rice vinegar and the like. They had seen the world there.
I'm afraid even the rich people in town have never seen such a lunch box, right? !
As if he knew what the villagers were thinking, Bai Dashan stopped what he was doing and looked back. Near the fire not far away, Baitao was eating happily.
Under the light of the fire, the little man looked so tall.
Thinking of the two scenes of picking up things, the things that suddenly appeared that should not have appeared, each of which they had never seen before, made Bai Dashan's awe deepen.
"Since it was given by my aunt, there is no question whether it is worthy of eating or not. If you don't have time to think about so much, you might as well repay your aunt after you are full."
After a pause, Bai Dashan said again: "I don't know what will happen next. If I don't eat enough, how can I resist the thieves?"
When the villagers heard this, they thought too. Only when they are full can they have the strength to fight when faced with danger.
They owe their aunt countless things. Their lives belong to her, so there is nothing to worry about.
Regardless of what Bai Dashan said, he himself was not shocked. After all, he had cooked meals without seeing anyone cooking. He was still muttering in his heart.
However, there are such magical lunch boxes, and it doesn’t seem so unacceptable to have prepared meals in them.
Such a powerful person is their aunt, this is the blessing of their Peach Blossom Village!
"Eat, eat." After saying that, Bai Dashan continued to distribute the lunch boxes.
After traveling back in time yesterday, this was Baitao's first time eating white rice.
Although it is a box lunch, how can I describe how satisfying it is to eat a hot meal when you are hungry.
Take a bite of the melt-in-your-mouth braised pork, paired with a mouthful of fragrant white rice drizzled with broth, tsk tsk tsk... "Well, it's delicious!" Bai Taoxin said, the more things on sale like this, the better.
Even the white peaches were delicious, not to mention the villagers who had experienced such rich meals cooked in this way for the first time.
fragrant!
tasty!
So delicious!
There is no better meal than this.
For a while, apart from the occasional crackling of firewood in the fire, there was the sound of everyone chewing food.
While everyone was eating, when they occasionally raised their heads, their eyes crossed the white peach in front of them, with expressions of gratitude and awe. My aunt was really amazing.
After the meal, pots were placed on the fire to boil water and fill the water bladders. While everyone was savoring the delicious food, Bai Dashan stood up.
His voice was neither loud nor quiet, but just enough for the villagers to hear.
"We all have the surname Bai. We all know why our ancestors were surnamed Bai."
"Everyone knows the rules left by our ancestors. The affairs of the clan must not be revealed to outsiders."
With that said, Bai Dashan patted the lunch box he had washed and said in a stern tone: "The things my aunt gave you, you can't lose even if you die!"
At this point, Bai Dashan's face became cold, and his tone became even more serious, without any trace of the peace and kindness he had when facing Baitao.
"Anyone who betrays my aunt, fails the clan, or violates the rules left by our ancestors will be beaten to death and expelled from the family tree."
Bai Dashan warned the villagers like this. Baitao was surprised but not surprised. In the remote countryside, fights over water and land were common.
In ancient times, a village with a population of more than 200 people was not a small village, and it required a lot of survival resources.
The worse the environment becomes, the more people know how to unite and fight in order to survive.
If Bai Dashan didn't have any ability, let alone being the head of a village, whether he could survive or not would be a question.
The people of Taohua Village naturally have rules and consistent interests that they need to abide by in order to grow from a few households to the current scale.
When the villagers heard this, they spoke one after another.
"It must not be told outside."
"That is, anyone who dares to do this is a traitor to the clan and forgets his ancestors and must be killed."
"We in Peach Blossom Village don't have such people."
"Whoever dares to be that heartless person, I will dig out his ancestors and feed them to the dogs!"
"..."
People at this time were extremely reverent to ghosts and gods, and they would never dare to commit suicide or bring harm to their ancestors. Otherwise, they would be left as lonely ghosts and would not even dare to go to hell.
How miserable it is to be a lonely ghost!
The villagers were all talking. Bai Dashan nodded and said, "I hope you guys will remember your words at all times."
