Chapter 169: A Fortune
Chapter 169: A Fortune
Wei Xiaohu, who was following behind, was puzzled. He had dealt with all those robbers? He locked them up in the house? What was he doing with them?
But he couldn't ask these questions. He could only follow the instructions and take all the bags to a tidy room on the side.
After moving their things, Wei Xiaohu followed Ning Ji's instructions and chose a place to live in a row of houses next to the front hall. They would be staying there for a while.
As for the backyard, Ning Ji warned him not to go there.
Although Wei Xiaohu was very curious, he didn't dare to walk around and could only go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
By the way, there is really a lot of food in this kitchen, all of which was looted from nearby villages.
Looking at the food, he felt mixed emotions.
Next to the woods in the backyard of the village, Si He watched Ning Ji pick up several big fat birds that he had shot down. She was in a good mood. The birds here were indeed fat, and she could have a delicious meal of meat at noon.
At this moment, Wei Xiaohu was not around, so she started asking about what happened in the forest. "Husband, are all the bandits in the forest dead? The bodies are there, will they be okay?"
"They're not dead, they're just unconscious."
Hearing what he said, Si He was surprised. This was not like his style. He actually left the person alive?
But isn’t this more troublesome?
Seeing her puzzled look, he added: "Bring them back in the evening."
Si He understood that those were also drug testers.
Ning Ji took the prey and walked towards the village with Si He, while talking about his plan.
After lunch, Si He followed Ning Ji to the backyard to watch him work, while Wei Xiaohu was sent to the entrance of the village to keep an eye on him.
A row of men were lying on the big bunk bed in the backyard house. They were all bandits who stayed behind in the village. Except for Boss Ge who was conscious and unable to move, the others were in a coma.
Testing drugs is a bit cruel, but it is necessary. We can only find these bandits who are causing trouble to the local area and eliminate the harm to the nearby villages.
But Si He only watched for a while, and Ning Ji asked her to go out and play or rest in the room, because there would be acupuncture next, and they would need to take off their clothes, and men and women were different, so it was inconvenient for her to stay here, even though these were drug test subjects who would not live long.
She had no choice but to go out and walk around on her own.
She first went to other rooms to check on the unconscious women and confirmed that they were all sleeping soundly. Only then did she feel relieved. After all, if what Ning Ji did were to get out, it would be very troublesome.
These women who were kidnapped by bandits were all very pretty, but in such a world, if one does not have a good family background to protect them, having a beautiful face is not necessarily a good thing. It is easy for them to fall into a den of thieves or be coveted by others.
The only advantage may be that they eat better than others. Almost all of these women have rosy complexions, unlike the ordinary girls in the countryside who are pale and thin because they eat less.
Si He took a quick look, closed the door, and went to other places in the village.
The village was not very big, just a small bandit's den. She finished her tour in a short while. However, apart from a house for storing grain, she didn't see any other warehouses. This aroused her curiosity and she started looking for treasure.
This is a bandit's den after all, there must be some valuables there, and they are hidden quite well!
Of course, if she wanted to know, it wasn't difficult since Boss Ge was still awake, but it would be more fun to find it herself since she was free anyway.
However, she was not good at finding things. She spent an entire afternoon and finally used the special ability of her eyes to find the secret dark room in the conference hall.
This secret room is just behind the tiger-skin chair. There is a small compartment behind the wall, but the wall is very thick and solid. It can either be destroyed violently or opened with a key. It is well guarded.
There is no need to destroy it, and she doesn't have the strength to do so. The key to the secret room is most likely on Boss Ge, so she can just go to the backyard.
Regarding her intention to look for the warehouse, Ning Ji smiled and called her a money-grubber, but he still quickly found the key for her.
It was almost dusk, so Ning Ji stopped observing the medicine man and went to the meeting hall with her.
Si He had already torn down a piece of brocade that was originally hanging on the main wall of the meeting hall, revealing a small yellow iron door of the same color as the wall, with only the keyhole being noticeable.
Ning Ji took the key, unlocked the door, and pushed open the heavy iron door.

The iron door opened, the hinges making a low but harsh sound, and there was darkness behind the door.
But Si He had clear vision and saw that there were some large boxes piled up in the dark room, so there was no danger.
Ning Ji picked up a lantern from the side and stepped into the hidden dark room first, followed closely by Si He.
The dark room was not big, and the light from the lamp illuminated the dark room, bringing all objects into view.
Ning Ji opened more than ten large boxes in the dark room. There was only one box of silver, and the rest were various cloths and silks, as well as some porcelain, jade, bronze, silver and other things. There was also a small box of jewelry, but it was not of good quality and not very valuable.
Most of these things were looted from nearby villages, so naturally there was nothing good in them. The only valuable thing was the box of silver. Judging from the quantity, there were probably several thousand taels of silver, which was quite a lot.
"Another fortune."
She looked at the box of silver with sparkling eyes and was in a good mood. She had no psychological burden at all in robbing these robbers.
He chuckled, "Little money-grubber."
She held her arm and smiled. She was a money-grubber, but in this world, you can't get anywhere without money. She was also an ordinary person, so naturally she loved money.
"However, these things are too much. When we leave, we can just take this box of silver and this box of jewels. The rest can be divided among the women in the backyard, okay?"
She pointed to the two boxes in front of her. Only the items in these two boxes were valuable and easy to take. The others were just compensation for the women in the backyard.
He said, "Okay, whatever you want."
After looking for a while, the two men left the dark room and Ning Ji closed the door again.
"It's getting late. I'll go make dinner. What do you want to eat?"
Hearing his question, she thought for a moment and said, "Whatever, there's no need to bother. Don't you have to go out tonight?"
"No problem." He said with a smile.
"Then cook some noodles. I want to eat noodles."
"it is good."
After walking out of the conference hall, Ning Ji called Wei Xiaohu over to help him.
Now Wei Xiaohu is responsible for making fire, washing vegetables and dishes, which relieves Ning Ji of a lot of the burden.
Although they only had noodles in the evening, it was still quite rich. There were eggs, meat, and some fresh wild vegetables in the noodles. The meat was the bacon originally stored in the kitchen, and the wild vegetables were picked by Wei Xiaohu nearby.
Si He was fine with this, but Wei Xiaohu was extremely happy. He hadn't eaten such sumptuous food in a long time, both at noon and at night.
