Chapter 121: Professor Zhou, You Still Owe Me One Thing

The outer layer of the beggar's chicken was wrapped in a layer of dried, baked mud.

Bai Wei had just picked up a beggar's chicken when she felt her fingers burn, and she hurriedly let go.

The beggar's chicken had just come out of the oven, and the mud on the outer layer was still piping hot.

She fetched a hammer and knocked the mud shell off the beggar's chicken with one strike.

Suddenly!

A rich, roasted chicken aroma drifted out along with the heat.

The outside of the beggar's chicken was also wrapped in a layer of lotus leaves.

The meaty aroma was mixed with a hint of lotus leaf fragrance, smelling savory but not greasy.

The fragrant roasted chicken made one's mouth water.

Bai Wei couldn't care about the heat; blowing on her hands, she tore off a chicken leg and took a bite with her neck stretched out.

Her eyes lit up instantly!

"So delicious!"

The wild chicken of ancient times was unexpectedly this fragrant and rich, and it even had a chewy texture!

Compared to modern farm-raised chickens, the meat of the ancient wild chicken was springier, overflowing with meaty flavor, and completely devoid of any gamey smell.

The crispy skin of the wild chicken had been roasted to a golden brown and was even infused with the scent of lotus leaves!

Bai Wei ate half the chicken in one go.

If she hadn't been truly unable to eat any more, she would have really wanted to finish the whole chicken.

Daliang wild chicken was just too delicious.

When she had the chance later, she would build a chicken farm at the Farm, have Xiao Moting bring over ancient wild chickens, and raise them in batches using modern methods!

The wild chickens raised that way would definitely sell like hotcakes!

After finishing the beggar's chicken, Bai Wei stuffed the remainder into her backpack, preparing to eat a few more bites on the road if she got hungry.

She put on her pack, opened the door to the Recreational Vehicle's cab, and hopped in.

The Rakshasa Bandits' Firearm Squad had twenty fire muskets.

That meant that there were at least twenty people or more in the bandits' Firearm Squad who knew how to use fire muskets!

Bai Wei had already thought of a countermeasure in her mind.

Now she needed to go find a weapon to defeat the enemy!

……

The Zhenbei King Tomb excavation site.

Workers were sweating like rain, swinging hoes and shovels.

At a glance, Bai Wei saw Zhou Yuchuan squatting on the ground.

"Professor Zhou!"

Zhou Yuchuan was holding a small brush, earnestly brushing the dust off some broken porcelain shards; he turned his head after hearing the voice.

"Bai Wei? Why did you come here?"

Bai Wei panted, "I have something to ask of you."

Zhou Yuchuan stood up, "Is it about the Antique Exhibition? No rush, there's still over half a month until the Antique Exhibition, we can prepare slowly."

"No." Bai Wei shook her head and looked left and right, "Professor Zhou, do you still remember that you promised to help me with one thing?"

"I remember, I owe you one." Zhou Yuchuan smiled, "Tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"

Bai Wei lowered her voice.

"Can you help me get a few sniper rifles?"

Zhou Yuchuan froze, his cold, dark eyes narrowing slightly.

After several seconds, he spoke with a wry smile.

"I knew it, if you were looking for my help, it definitely wouldn't be an easy matter."

"Professor Zhou, sniper rifles can't be bought domestically. But your family's auction house has branches all over the country, and it's very easy to buy them abroad." After finishing, Bai Wei added with a blushing face, "As for the reason I'm buying sniper rifles, I won't tell you for now, but I guarantee I'm not using them for anything evil like murder or arson."

"I know." Zhou Yuchuan smiled, "However, even if I purchase firearms and ammunition abroad, it's very difficult for me to transport them into the country. If I were to ship them back, it would take a lot of trouble, and it would take at least half a month."

"Half a month, that's too long." Bai Wei said, "How about this, I'll go abroad with you, and I'll find a way to transport the guns then."

As long as she brought her wardrobe abroad, she wouldn't need to transport the sniper rifles back to the country at all; she could just teleport them directly to Daliang.

"If you only need a few sniper rifles, there's no need to go abroad."

"No need to go abroad? Then where can I buy them?"

"Right here in the village."

Bai Wei widened her eyes in surprise.

In the village?

She had grown up in Qingshan Village since she was a child, but she had never heard of any villager having a sniper rifle.

Zhou Yuchuan raised his wrist and checked the time.

"It's time for me to get off work, come with me."

Bai Wei followed him, looking bewildered.

Soon.

Bai Wei's Recreational Vehicle was parked at the entrance of the village.

"Xiaohe Village?" Bai Wei was stunned.

Wasn't this the village where her grandmother lived?

Could it be that the people in this village knew how to snipe?

Zhou Yuchuan got out of the car, but instead of walking into the village, he headed toward the mountain outside the village.

"Wait." Bai Wei hurriedly followed him.

Before long, the two arrived halfway up the mountain, standing in front of an old wooden hut.

"Woof! Woof!"

Following a few fierce barks, two large wolfhounds rushed out violently.

Bai Wei let out a startled scream.

Zhou Yuchuan was quick-eyed and nimble-handed; he pulled her behind him to block them, then called out loudly.

"Qian Laobo, are you there?"

The door of the wooden hut opened, and an old man wearing a straw hat and a blue Coarse Cloth jacket walked out, a pipe in his mouth and a fierce look on his face.

He whistled to stop the dogs.

Then he looked up and barked rudely.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Qian Laobo, I am Xiao Zhou from the National Archaeological Team; I met with you a few times last year."

Qian Laobo looked him up and down, then tossed his head.

"Come in and talk!"

After saying this, he turned and walked into the small hut.

Bai Wei couldn't help but poke Zhou Yuchuan, "Don't tell me this fierce old man is a sniper who has a Sniper Rifle."

"He isn't, and he doesn't have a Sniper Rifle."

After saying this, Zhou Yuchuan walked inside.

"Hey, don't just walk away after saying half a sentence..." Bai Wei stomped her foot and hurriedly followed him.

The inside of the wooden hut was very simple; various animal skins hung on the walls, and a Hunting Rifle was placed by the door.

"There's a Hunting Rifle!" Bai Wei's eyes lit up.

Qian Laobo glared at her and barked rudely.

"You two, speak if you have something to say!"

"It's like this," Zhou Yuchuan smiled, "we would like to buy a few Hunting Rifles..."

Before he could finish, Qian Laobo waved his hand unceremoniously.

"No, I only have one Hunting Rifle, kept for self-defense, and I'm not selling it."

"We can pay to buy it..."

"Who wants your money?" Qian Laobo was even more impatient, "Go, go, go, I don't have any Hunting Rifles, and even if I did, I wouldn't sell them..."

Zhou Yuchuan frowned, his eyes showing confusion.

Just then, Bai Wei's smiling voice came from behind him.

"Qian Laobo, you were the Militia Captain of Xiaohe Village before, right? We want to buy Hunting Rifles to study your glorious deeds of fighting bandits during the War of Resistance."

"If it's not convenient for you, telling us about fighting the bandits is fine too."

"By the way, I also brought Roast Chicken and wine; let's eat and chat."

After saying this, she winked at Zhou Yuchuan, meaning to listen to her.
