Chapter 849 The Substitute Bride (11)
After dealing with the people, it was still daylight.
Xiong Bufan wasn't in a hurry to work anymore. He went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat. All the food was free, and he didn't waste any of it. He just took it with him.
Kongkong had no idea what Xiong Bufan was up to; he just watched from the sidelines.
The big cat guarded the bed the whole time. When it saw a passing carriage or horse-drawn carriage, it would cover its face with a rag, afraid of running into the people it had robbed last time.
Gou Ding had long been sent away by the big cat to beg for food, since the big cat had to guard the bed.
From midday to sunset, the big cat ate some grass, a bowl of soup, and a nearly moldy mixed flour bun, but nothing else.
With his stomach still rumbling, the big cat couldn't help but suspect that he had been tricked again, because this person said he would be back soon, but two hours had passed and he still hadn't seen him.
Gou Ding stuffed the things he had begged into his mouth like crazy, and then went to another house to beg.
Anything you beg for is yours as long as the big cat doesn't find it.
The big cat had pulled all the grass around, but Xiong Bufan was still nowhere to be seen.
As darkness fell, the big cat stood guard by the bed, looking at the pure cotton quilt. He touched it with his hand, and the silk felt as soft as he had imagined. Hua Shun, the cotton quilt was like a cloud, warm and light, much better than the straw quilt they used to sleep under in winter.
Big Cat really wanted to lie down, but hesitated because he was afraid Xiong Bufan would find out.
Moreover, if Xiong Bufan doesn't come back, he can pawn the bed. You know, such a big bed, with a quilt, would fetch at least ten taels of silver.
If you get dirty and stain the bedding black, then the bedding becomes worthless.
The big cat wanted to be rich, very rich, so he could lie on a soft bed and be covered with a warm, clean blanket.
Seeing that it was getting dark and she had eaten her fill, Xiong Bufan began cutting down houses close to the ground, like cutting leeks. She didn't forget her bed, nor did she forget the big cat guarding it.
Kongkong felt that everything Xiong Bufan did was a revelation to the world.
Big Cat was a beggar with principles, so even though he was lying under the bed, he didn't lie on the bed.
When midnight arrived, almost all the people were resting.
Therefore, very few people have seen a huge object fly over the rooftop, like a god moving mountains in a myth.
Xiong Bufan flew through the air holding the roof beam. Because he flew high enough, he didn't crash into any trees, but instead hit birds flying at night.
Based on the smell, Xiong Bufan could not have gone to the wrong place.
There are some trees where the big cat is located. If you put the house there directly, the trees will definitely break through the roof.
Xiong Bufan had no choice but to put the house aside for the time being, and then took out his cleaver and kept chopping down the trees that were in his way.
The Heavenly Stems have reversed, and even brown bears have started logging.
With a loud crash, a tree fell down, startling the big cat sleeping under the bed. It struggled to get up, only to bump its head on the bed frame.
The big cat, in pain, could only cover its forehead under the bed and dared not make a sound for fear of danger.
Xiong Bufan dragged the felled trees to one side and piled them up, then placed the house on the open ground with wooden stakes.
The big cat was even more afraid to move when it heard the sound; it was terrified of dying.
After arranging a bunch of connected houses, Xiong Bufan started moving to other houses, as she also wanted to live in a house composed of several rooms.
After hearing no sound outside, the big cat lifted the bed curtain and looked out. It was terrified to see a huge creature in front of it and hid back under the bed.
Because it was dark, the big cat couldn't see clearly that the enormous thing was the house.
However, if they realized it was a house, they would probably be even more frightened.
Xiong Bufan worked until dawn, finally managing to move everything he could into the house, and even made himself a fence with a horizontal knife.
The sudden appearance of a group of houses just ten meters from the main road seemed rather strange.
Kongkong thought Xiong Bufan's next step was to build a fence and collect protection fees.
The big cat fell asleep under the bed and didn't wake up until the sun was high in the sky.
Crawling out from under the bed, the big cat found itself in an antique-style house with a table. Terrified, it hurriedly ran out.
They didn't notice that the house was lower than usual; they were only concerned with escaping for their lives.
Gou Ding was outside tending a fire, while Xiong Bufan sat in a recliner. The big cat came out and saw this scene.
"Boss, Gou Ding, what are you doing here?"
Xiong Bufan: "Once you wake up, you can help me cook."
"Yes."
The big cat looked back at the house and finally noticed something strange. Some of the houses only had load-bearing pillars and wooden doors and windows, with nothing underneath. Moreover, the houses were not surrounded by high walls or large courtyards, but by a simple fence made of a few wooden poles.
"Boss, the vegetable soup is ready."
Xiong Bufan nodded. "Bring it to me."
"Yes."
Gou Ding carried the large pot over, with some oil floating in it.
The big cat saw the soup in the pot and rubbed its belly. "Boss, can I have some soup left?"
"You two keep an eye on the fire and eat together, so you won't say I'm torturing you."
"Yes, yes, boss."
When food was mentioned, the big cat was no longer afraid or suspicious. It carried a piece of firewood that it could sit on to Xiong Bufan's side.
Gou Ding took the soup ladle and first served Xiong Bufan a large bowl of rice, then served the big cat rice.
There were some vegetable leaves and oil stains in the big cat's broken bowl, and even a small piece of bone, which the big cat had never encountered before.
Xiong Bufan took out some flatbread from his bundle, gave two to each of them, and then placed them beside him.
Big Cat: "Boss, I will always follow you."
But where did you get all this food from?
Xiong Bufan: "I stole it, pretty impressive, huh?"
Upon hearing this, Big Cat's hands trembled slightly as he held the bowl. He truly wanted to abide by the Beggars' Guild's rules and honestly be a beggar.
Xiong Bufan began to describe the future life of the group, "Big Cat, go and call all your men over, let's rob some more with me."
We'll split what we get equally: three for you guys and seven for me.
I promise you, when the soldiers come again, I'll make sure you all come together.
Big Cat: I refuse.
Gou Ding remained silent. In any case, he would run away at the crucial moment and come back when there was something to gain.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiong Bufan didn't dwell on it. "If you don't go, I'll report you to the authorities for illegally building a house and robbing people."
The tricks that Big Cat used on others eventually backfired. "Boss, I'll work with you."
I called them over too.
Xiong Bufan nodded, "From now on, we're in this together."
