In a small village made of earth walls and thatched roofs, it was very remote and had no entrance. Standing at the entrance, Sun Wukong and his companions looked at the village consisting of only a few scattered thatched houses. Their hearts tightened. The world was in chaos and the people were the ones suffering. This village must have been a big village in the past, with a large population, since it was marked on the map. Now there were only a few houses left in the entire village, and it was questionable whether there were even a hundred people.

Sun Wukong and his companions walked in. At the entrance of the village, there was an old man in ragged clothes sitting under a tree. The old man looked to be in his eighties or nineties, with a head full of white hair.

His eyes were sunken, and the wrinkles on his face were as clear as if they were carved by a knife. He sat there, emitting a decadent atmosphere. When Sun Wukong and the others saw the old man, they felt sorry for him. They walked over and sat down, looking at the old man. Sun Wukong and the others did not speak, but quietly waited for the old man to speak. After the old man sat there for a long time, he raised his head and looked at Sun Wukong and the others.

“Young people, where are you from?”

The old man's voice was old, but revealed a kind of strength, which moved Sun Wukong and the others. Sun Wukong said: "We are from the Qingshan Sect in the West. Now the world is in chaos. We are ordered to go down the mountain to kill the bandits. We passed by here and wanted to stay for one night."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then please follow me."

The old man nodded, and he slowly stood up with his cane. He was old, and his walking was shaky, but he walked forward step by step with his cane. Under the guidance of the old man, Sun Wukong and his companions came to a thatched hut. "This is my home, you can live here."

"Old man, where are your family members? Why are there so few people in the village?"

Sun Wukong looked at the old man and asked. The old man sighed and said, "Alas, my wife died of fever many years ago, and my son was conscripted and died on the battlefield. Now the court is at war again, and my grandson has also gone to the battlefield. Only my daughter-in-law and I are left. There were many people in our village before, but the young laborers were either conscripted to the battlefield or died outside as laborers."

After saying this, the old man sobbed softly again. Everyone who heard this couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

"Old man, we are sorry to bother you today. Let's treat the whole village to dinner tonight."

Sun Wukong helped the old man into the main room of the thatched hut and asked him to sit down. Then Sun Wukong looked at Senior Brother Oda and the others, and they understood what he meant.

"Young fellow apprentices, go inform the people in the village that we will treat them to dinner tonight. Come and get some food and silver."

They have killed countless bandits in the past six months. Those bandits were extremely vicious. After killing them all, Sun Wukong and his men also seized a lot of food and money. If they met those landlords who were rich and unkind on the way, they would also strike them down.

Seeing that they would give food and money to those poor families made Sun Wukong and his companions feel better.

Senior Brother Xiaotian agreed and ran with the other four disciples to call for help, while Sun Wukong stayed with the old man to talk. The old man talked about some daily matters, and Sun Wukong and the others listened carefully for a long time.

As the old man talked, he recalled the days when he and his grandson and son lived happily together with their family. His mood improved a lot and he smiled.

When Sun Wukong saw the old man smile, he felt relieved. He looked at the old man's smiling face and couldn't help but smile as well.

Sun Wukong took out several huge pots from his storage bag, found some stones to prop up the pots, and took out a large amount of food and money.

"Brother Luo, look what this is"

Brother Xiaotian came back, carrying a huge wild boar on his shoulders. It looked very strong and weighed about 600 kg.

Jin weight.

The wild boar has long black bristles all over its body, sharp fangs that look like a sword, and a pair of red eyes, which makes it look extremely ferocious and terrifying.

"this..."

When Sun Wukong and his companions saw that Senior Brother Oda was carrying a huge wild boar on his shoulders, they were stunned, especially the villagers nearby. When they saw the wild boar, their eyes widened with surprised expressions.

Wild boars are very ferocious creatures. Not only can they fight, their meat is delicious and mellow, and their skin is as thick as a city wall, making it difficult to be injured by ordinary knives and guns. If they are hit by a wild boar, they may die. Now such a big wild boar was actually carried back by one person.

What surprised Sun Wukong and his friends was that Senior Brother Oda actually brought back a wild boar. That was really awesome.

"Brother Luo, look, I brought the wild boar back to you. It's a snack tonight."

Senior Brother Oda put the wild boar on the ground and clapped his hands. Only then did Sun Wukong and the others react and quickly surrounded it.

Sun Wukong and his companions saw that there was a deep wound on the wild boar's neck, and blood was flowing on the ground, staining the ground red.

"I was thinking before, our storage bags contain nothing but food and dried meat, which are not very nutritious or oily for the elderly. And now you have brought back such a big wild boar."

Everyone in the village looks pale and skinny, which is the result of long-term malnutrition. This wild boar weighing several hundred kilograms is just right. It must be extraordinary to be able to grow so big. It must have some spiritual power in its body. I will make it into a dish later to nourish them. The ribs and leg bones of this wild boar are the best. Sun Wukong and his friends have herbal tonics collected in the past six months in their storage bags. I will stew a pot of medicinal soup later to nourish them with medicinal food.

After Sun Wukong and his men processed the wild boar, they stewed the ribs, leg bones and tonic herbs in a pot. Soon the whole village was filled with the aroma of pork and the fragrance of tonic herbs.

The villagers' stomachs rumbled as they smelled the fragrance.

Senior Brother Xiaotian and his companions were also hungry, but if the bone soup was not stewed for an hour, the villagers would not be able to chew it, especially the wild boar that contained spiritual power. Sun Wukong did not let go of the wild boar's internal organs. In the Han Dynasty, many spices and ingredients had not been introduced, especially chili peppers. However, this was not an ordinary world, but the world of Journey to the West. In the past ten years, he found the existence of chili peppers in the books of the sect that recorded the plants and monsters in the world. During the six months of the journey to suppress bandits and save the world, he tried every means to get these ingredients, and even pig offal could be delicious.

As the sky slowly darkened and the sun was submerged by the ground in the distance, a fiery red sunset glow reflected on the clouds in the sky. The sunset glow only lasted for a moment before disappearing. The sky was completely dark, and the dilapidated little village seemed out of place in the silent night.

In the village, bonfires were lit everywhere. There were no more than a hundred old people, women and children in the village. They looked pale and thin, but everyone's face was full of smiles. Some were talking and laughing, and some even pulled Sun Wukong and others to dance around the bonfire according to their unique custom. The whole village was filled with laughter and a strong festive atmosphere, as if they were already a family.
