Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 816 A Thank-You Banquet in the Mountain Village

Zhang Tianpao hugged the soft blankets tightly, afraid of getting them dirty.

She stretched her arms forward as far as possible to avoid the blanket touching her body, while her face beamed with longing for these things.

Chu Chen saw all of this and thought to himself, why not give them a set when they get married?

In no time, the group had arranged everything inside and outside the tiled house.

Then, the group headed toward the village's meeting place.

At the dinner table, the two children stared at the meat in the bowl, constantly swallowing their saliva.

"Mom, when can we eat?"

The aroma of meat wafted through the air, and everyone couldn't help but swallow hard.

This is the first time in months that I've seen so much meat.

But everyone sat there properly, without picking up their chopsticks.

"This child is so greedy; the guests haven't even arrived yet."

"But Mother, I really want to eat it. Can I have a sip of the soup first?"

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately put on a stern expression and made a move to hit him.

The raised hand was tightly grasped by a large hand.

Don't hit the child!

After saying that, Chu Chen squatted down and patted the child's head.

"Your name is Yao'er?"

The boy looked at Chu Chen in front of him and was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He just looked up at his mother.

"Young master, the wild child is dirty, don't get your hands dirty."

Chu Chen smiled slightly after hearing this, then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to the child, saying, "Little one, Uncle will give you candy."

After saying that, Chu Chen turned to look at his mother and said, "How can you call him a wild child? I think he is very well-behaved."

Seeing that the child refused to accept his candy, Chu Chen simply peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mom, it's so sweet!"

"Young man, quickly kneel down and kowtow to thank the young master!"

The child, still bewildered, was about to kneel down with a piece of candy in his mouth, but Chu Chen stopped him.

"Remember this, child. When you grow up, you must work hard to learn kung fu. Then you won't have to kneel down to people anymore."

After saying that, Chu Chen took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into his arms before leading Xiao Ai and the others toward the old man they had met earlier.

"Sir/Madam, I'm late, I'm so sorry!"

"Oh, my benefactor, you're too kind. It's these people who have never seen meat before; you must be laughing at them!"

Chu Chen smiled and, led by the old man, took the seat of honor.

Seeing Chu Chen sit down, the old man happily picked up the wine glass on the table.

Then, looking at everyone, he said, "Everyone, today we are here to thank our benefactor. I propose that we, the villagers of Shanmang Village, raise our glasses to our benefactor for the first time."

As soon as the old man finished speaking, everyone stood up and said in unison, "Respect to our benefactor."

Chu Chen stood up, waved to everyone, and then picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"My benefactor, please say a few words to everyone!"

After seeing Chu Chen drink the wine, the old man turned to Chu Chen and said something.

Want to say a few words? Chu Chen looked at the old man in front of him and thought to himself, you are quite comparable to Wang Defa.

Don't underestimate village chiefs; they are all highly capable individuals.

"Thank you all for your hospitality, fellow villagers. I, Chen Qingxuan, am deeply grateful."

"It's getting late, and everyone is hungry, so let's begin the meal!"

After Chu Chen finished speaking, he sat down and picked up the chopsticks in front of him.

When everyone saw Chu Chen pick up his chopsticks, they immediately started eating.

One pig, for a dozen or twenty tables, how much can be divided among them?

In the blink of an eye, Chu Chen and Xiao Ai both widened their eyes.

On many tables, the bowls of meat were almost empty.

While marveling at their formidable fighting strength, Chu Chen also sensed their helplessness.

They toil in the fields all day, yet they struggle to even make ends meet.

This made him think of his parents in modern society, and he thought to himself that a prosperous life could never be dug out of the land.

These people are all from the lowest rungs of society; they are hardworking and willing to endure hardship.

But that's often how the world is; if you're willing to endure hardship, there will be endless suffering.

So he put the meat he had picked up back down and said to Zhang Tianpao.

"Tianpao, come with me for a moment."

"Ah, young master, is the food not to your liking?"

"No, no, no, look, everyone's out of meat. I just remembered, I bought two pigs in town. Let's go get them and have them stewed so everyone can have a good meal tonight."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianpao and the old man quickly stopped him, saying, "Young master, how could we let you spend any more money?"

"Stop arguing, just call me 'Young Master' and you'll listen to me."

After saying that, Chu Chen stood up and headed towards the carriage.

Zhang Tianpao had no choice but to follow along with a few young men.

Chu Chen entered the carriage, and with a thought, he took out two live pigs.

For the people of Shanmang Village, as long as there is meat, that's enough. The type of cuisine doesn't matter to them at all. They just chop it up, put it in a pot to boil, and sprinkle some salt on it.

Watching the group carrying two pigs toward the makeshift kitchen, Chu Chen thought to himself that it was fortunate the carriage was big enough, otherwise how would he explain it?

The villagers held kitchen knives and soon chopped the two pigs into small pieces.

The old man looked at Chu Chen, who had returned to the table, with tears in his eyes: "My benefactor, you are truly a celestial being descended to earth to save us."

"On behalf of Shanmang Village, I would like to offer you another toast."

Chu Chen smiled, raised his glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

He thought to himself, "Immortals? Immortals are nowhere near as powerful as me; all they do is jump around."

With the addition of meat, the villagers immediately became excited.

The men ate heartily in the winter, some even taking off their thin clothes.

The children's mouths were stuffed full of meat.

Even the young women and wives had greasy breasts.

The meal lasted until late at night before everyone returned home, tipsy.

This was the only time in the entire mountain village that a sound could be heard in the dead of night.

Chu Chen led Xiao Ai back to the very clean tile-roofed house.

"Young master, I think this place is very comfortable!"

"Yes, I feel comfortable too."

Throughout his long journey through time, he has been constantly battling with others.

They are constantly on the go.

Enjoying a lively meal with the villagers and taking in the leisurely pace of life truly made Chu Chen feel relaxed.

“You said we ran from Daxia to Anchang, and from Anchang to Huangtian Continent, without ever stopping.”

"At this moment, I actually feel quite comfortable pausing like this!"

Chu Chen looked at Xiao Ai beside him and said with emotion.

"Young master, Xiao Ai can make you more comfortable."

"Hehe, really...?"

The big yellow dog in Shanmang Village was gnawing on a large bone on the ground, but it would occasionally raise its head to look around.

It was very puzzled as to why there were so many strange noises in the village tonight.
