Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 53 Meat in the Pot

The people around were so startled by Su Yue's antics that they almost dropped the meat they were gnawing on and looked at her with displeasure.

Dali was so frightened by Su Yue that he almost plunged headfirst into the pot, staring at Su Yue with a completely bewildered expression.

"Ah Yue, what's wrong with you again?"

"Dali, you have lice on your head." Su Yue pointed at Dali's head, telling Dali, who was about to approach her, not to come any closer.

The last pot of water boiled turned into Dali's shampoo water. Su Yue poured water on Dali's head while directing her to wash that area, noticing that her head still had lice even after washing it four times.

In the end, Su Yue still helped Dali cut off all his hair.

This action stunned everyone in the room. Our bodies and hair are gifts from our parents. To cut them all off like this is truly unfilial!

Dali touched his scalp and felt quite comfortable. He used to always feel like there were a lot of little bugs crawling on his head, and sometimes they would bite him, which hurt a lot.

Su Yue took out a tiger-head hat from the storage in her space and put it on Dali's head, so that others wouldn't keep staring at her.

She touched it vigorously and was overjoyed; this was the first time she had ever worn a hat.

After finishing her work, Su Yue's stomach was growling with hunger, but she had no appetite at all.

Watching those people eat meat so deliciously makes me want to vomit.

Instead of looking, I pulled Dali to the outermost part of the room and squatted down to look at the mountain opposite.

"Dali, move your head away from me, you're squashing me." Su Yue pushed Dali away again, who was trying to get close to her.

Dali always felt that Su Yue was playing with her, so she deliberately pressed her head down on Su Yue's head, waited for her to push it away, and then pressed her head down again, waiting for Su Yue to push it away again, having a great time.

The rain lasted all day, and it got dark early. Then, thunder started again at night, and the rain sounded even louder than during the day.

Crackling sounds followed! Another bolt of lightning struck, as if tearing the sky in two, illuminating the entire mountain outside. This rain seemed to be making up for all the rain that had fallen in the past year or so, almost two years.

Su Yue snuggled closer to Dali's arms. Compared to Dali, Su Yue was too small and thin. When Dali held her to sleep, it was almost like holding a child.

The storm showed no signs of stopping by the next morning, and even the house, which was only enclosed on three sides, was teetering on the brink of collapse due to the heavy wind and rain the previous day.

The dozens of people on the outermost edge were already soaked by the wind and rain, huddled together shivering.

One of the refugees, who was considered quite burly among the group, picked up a fire poker and was about to hit Dali, who was cooking porridge.

They'd discovered that besides the little girl being formidable, the tall guy next to her was actually mentally challenged. They decided to eliminate the mentally challenged guy first, then gang up on the little girl; they refused to believe that all of them couldn't defeat a child.

Before the man's stick could even fall, Su Yue had already punched him, sending him flying. He landed squarely on two bags in another corner.

"oops!"

"Oh dear!"

Su Yue was surprised to find two people inside the large sack; she had assumed it contained their luggage.

When the refugees realized their scheme had been exposed, they swarmed forward, trying to overwhelm Su Yue with their numbers.

Unexpectedly, Su Yue swung the big iron spoon so fast that anyone who got close would be knocked to the ground, twitching a few times before falling still.

Even Dali was sent flying several times before those people dared not rush forward anymore.

At this moment, one of the refugees shouted from behind, urging them not to stop and to keep going, saying that there were only two two-legged beasts left, not enough for them to share. If they captured Su Yue and Dali, they could eat for two more days.

Su Yue was shocked to hear this; she realized she had been targeted and was now being eyed like a piece of meat in a pot.

Su Yue tossed the large iron ladle directly to Dali, saying, "Dali, this is for you to use."

Dali was overjoyed to receive the large iron spoon from Su Yue; she had been thinking about it for two days.

Su Yue put her hand behind her back, took out a knife from her spatial storage, and slashed at the person closest to her.

Before the man could even see where Su Yue had taken the knife from, he was decapitated.

Just as the two men were cutting through the crowd like vegetables, the person who had been violently swung away landed squarely on the outermost pillar of the already crumbling house.

Then we heard the pillar snap in the middle with a series of cracking sounds, and the house collapsed to one side at top speed.

Su Yue pulled Dali, who was still fighting the group of refugees, and ran out. As she was rubbing Dali's head, the house collapsed.

Many refugees were trapped inside. There weren't many survivors to begin with, and this pressure resulted in only a dozen or so managing to escape.

After running out, the dozen or so people scattered in all directions, ignoring the wind and rain. Dali, seeing that they had all run away, grabbed a large iron ladle and rushed after them. Su Yue, quick as a flash, pulled him back.

He wiped the rainwater off his face, knowing that every time he opened his mouth, a mouthful of rainwater would be poured in, so he shook his head at Dali.

Looking at the collapsed house, it was fortunate that the spot where they used to be had been raised up, which could still provide some shelter from the rain, but not much.

The rain was so heavy that the porridge that was almost cooked was blown away and disappeared, leaving only a stove soaked by the rain.

Since the stove could still be used later, Su Yue put it into her spatial storage.

Pulling Dali aside, Su Yue took out two steamed buns from her spatial storage and ate them while watching the rain fall.

Besides the sound of rain, Su Yue seemed to hear faint cries for help.

With such heavy rain, Su Yue didn't want to go to see it at all, but the noise was so loud that she had no choice but to take Dali and head towards the source of the sound.

Hey! It looks like those two burlap sacks.

Su Yue untied the two burlap sacks, inside were two girls of similar age, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen.

The girl who was released saw that it wasn't the group that had arrested them, so she knelt down and kowtowed to express her gratitude.

"Thank you so much for saving my life, young lady. I have no way to repay you now, but when I return home, I will definitely set up a memorial tablet for you." The girl came out of the sack and knelt down without caring about the blood and mud on the ground.

When Su Yue first heard her say that she had no way to repay him, she thought it was like in the TV series, that she would have to repay him with her body.

"Get up!" Seeing that Dali still had the strength to kowtow, Su Yue pulled him back to take shelter from the rain.

After waiting for a while, the two girls finally came over to take shelter from the rain, supporting each other.

The girl who had been kneeling looked at Su Yue for a while before speaking again: "My benefactor, could you give me some food?" Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed to ask for food, the girl rummaged through her bosom and pulled out a gold leaf.

"Would it be feasible to use this as a replacement?"

Su Yue really admired this girl; even after being stuffed into a sack, she still managed to hide a gold leaf.

Taking the gold leaf, Su Yue forcefully pulled out four steamed buns from her spatial storage and handed them to the girl.

The girl took the plump, white steamed bun and instantly felt her mouth water; she hadn't eaten such a white steamed bun in days.

When she got separated from her mother earlier, she and her maid were able to exchange their jewelry for some food.

Later, even gold couldn't buy a single cornbread. She and her maid almost starved to death on the way. A group of refugees had told them they would be given food if they cooked for them.
