Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 289 The Officials Came to the Door Following the Scent

After saying that, Chu Chen turned to look at everyone: "It's okay to have these thoughts, but it takes courage to honestly say them out loud."

"I was able to save you once, only because you were pitiful."

"But if anyone wants to take advantage of me, they'd better think twice."

After saying that, Chu Chen raised the Uzi from his sleeve and aimed it at the earthen wall of a house next to him.

"Many people have tried to take advantage of me before, so a few more won't make a difference, but they're all like this wall, they've met their match."

After saying that, Chu Chen unleashed a barrage of fire at the flimsy earthen wall.

The earthen wall, already crumbling due to years of neglect, collapsed with a devastating attack from Uzi.

Everyone saw the young master raise his hand and make a sound, causing the earthen wall to collapse.

They were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground.

“Young master, we had no intention of offending you, please forgive us.”

The man named Wu Sanwa was so frightened that he trembled all over; he felt like he was going to die.

With just one thought, I offended someone with godlike abilities. So be it, I might as well die. In this world, living is just about suffering anyway.

Seeing that the effect was good, Chu Chen went forward and helped Wu Gang up.

"Everyone, get up. I am not an irredeemable villain. Hurry up and start a fire to cook."

"Also, there's a pile of clothes at the village entrance. Pick some out and call your families out. Staying in that dark house every day, you'll either starve or get sick."

Upon hearing this, Wu Gang quickly instructed some people to start a fire and cook, while others went to fetch the clothes.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the village suddenly became lively.

All the young women and wives, dressed in the clothes Chu Chen had given them, walked out of the house with shifty eyes.

They weren't avoiding the unfamiliar young man before them, but rather the sun overhead.

Presumably because they hadn't seen sunlight for a long time, even their skin had become fairer than usual, despite their somewhat thin appearance.

Chu Chen felt uneasy looking at it.

Just then, a woman covered in dust and completely naked emerged from behind the collapsed earthen wall.

Chu Chen turned around and thought, "Holy crap, that figure is pretty good!"

Following Chu Chen's direction, Wu Gang immediately grabbed a piece of clothing and stepped forward: "Young master, this is my little niece. Please don't let her offend your eyes."

Chu Chen smiled awkwardly. It seemed he needed to change his habit of drawing his gun and firing immediately next time. This whole operation had even resulted in shooting a girl.

Wu Gang draped the clothes over the girl and said to her, "Come, Xiaoyu, kneel down and greet the young master."

The girl was probably choked by the smoke and dust. She glanced at Chu Chen blankly, then knelt down.

I wondered what I had done to deserve this. All I was doing was feeling hungry and wanted to lie in bed so I wouldn't feel so hungry. Little did I know, my house would be destroyed.

Chu Chen, perhaps feeling guilty, quickly pulled her up: "Brother Wu, take her to wash her face so she can eat later."

Wu Gang nodded to Chu Chen, then pulled the girl named Xiao Yu to the well on the side.

At that moment, the aroma of rice wafted from the pot, making everyone greedily swallow their saliva.

I couldn't wait to pounce on it and devour the whole pot.

When Chu Chen saw Wu Gang return with the girl after washing up, his eyes lit up instantly. He thought to himself that this girl was not only petite, but also quite beautiful.

"Alright, everyone go eat from that bowl, don't fight over it. Um... Wu Sanwa, you're in charge of distributing the food to everyone."

Chu Chen glanced at it and pointed at Wu Sanwa on the ground.

You dare to mess with me? Then I'll let you experience what it's like to have food in your hand but not be able to eat it.

Wu Sanwa dared not refuse, so he picked up a spoon that someone had brought and walked to the big pot.

Then more than forty villagers lined up with their bowls and headed towards the pot.

The first villager to receive the food didn't care that it was hot; he grabbed the grains of rice and stuffed them into his mouth.

The sounds of sizzling, smacking, and chewing filled the entire village.

Just as everyone was getting their food, the girl who had climbed out of the house earlier stared blankly at the pot.

Chu Chen then stepped forward and said, "What are you doing? Go get a bowl and eat."

"Young master, my bowl was smashed by the wall that just collapsed!"

The girl named Xiaoyu spoke to Chu Chen in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but slap his head. Well, it was his fault again.

So he casually pulled a stainless steel bowl from his backpack and handed it to her: "Here, eat with this!"

The girl looked at Chu Chen in disbelief, then at the bowl in his hand.

But the next moment, she took the bowl from Chu Chen's hand and said, "Xiao Yu thanks you, young master."

Then he rushed towards the big pot like lightning.

However, just as everyone was enjoying their meal, a loud shout suddenly interrupted their joy.

"Who is cooking here?"

Chu Chen looked in the direction of the sound and saw several men dressed as government officials with swords at their waists appear in their line of sight.

As they talked, the group headed toward the large cauldron, when one of the officers shoved Sanwazi aside.

Then he picked up a spoon, scooped up a ladle of rice, frowned, and asked, "You audacious scoundrel, how dare you steal government rations! What is your punishment?"

Seeing this, Wu Gang hastily swallowed the rice in his bowl and headed towards the official.

"Sirs, we did not steal this grain..."

"Hmph, you audacious scoundrels, still daring to argue! It just so happens that the jade mine in the eastern suburbs needs miners. You scoundrels, the men will go to the eastern suburbs to mine, and the women, all of you, will go down into the kiln."

After saying that, the official stretched out his finger and circled it around, looking at the more than forty people in the village.

When the officer pointed to the young girl, Xiaoyu, he clearly paused.

Then, a lewd smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Huh? I didn't expect to find such a beauty in this remote and desolate place. I'll take her with me later."

Then he scanned the area again and instantly saw Chu Chen looking at him with a smile.

The head constable immediately had designs on Chu Chen when he saw his wealthy young master's attire.

This person looks unfamiliar. Could it be that some rich young master has nothing better to do than come to this village to seek attention?

"Young master, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, I'm here to deliver food to them, is there a problem?"

After hearing the news of the grain delivery, the official looked at the rice in the pot again and muttered to himself, "It seems this accusation of stealing military rations won't be easy to settle."

However, he had seen all sorts of things in Wu Tuo Kingdom, and a mere rich young master was not enough to frighten him.

So he turned to Chu Chen and asked, "Young master, may I ask which family you are from?"

"These wandering souls have no family!"

Chu Chen smiled and looked at the official as he answered.
