Dao Nu felt guilty when he heard this.

Lin Che's words seemed to make sense. At this moment, Lin Che was radiating a dazzling light, making Dao Nu feel ashamed and unable to look directly at him.

However, Dao Nu is not a fool, and it is impossible for him to become crippled by this trick.

Her face flushed red as she spoke in a deep voice, "Remember, you are an envoy. How long will you remain here? I will truthfully report to His Majesty all the indigenous residents here, the difficulties they encounter, and the situations they face..."

"Will the report be of any use? It's been at least a hundred years, and has anyone ever taken care of them? The treasury is empty, and they can't even provide money for disaster relief. How much money can be given here?"

Lin Che raised his voice, "As the saying goes, it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You shouldn't just give them a fish, but teach them how to fish. Give them a way out of these mountains."

"Lord Dao Nu, I've made up my mind. I will never leave like this. Please advise Her Majesty immediately and ask her to replace me as ambassador. I, Lin Che, will stay here and help them out of their predicament—I will never abandon any needy person! Common prosperity is what I pursue!"

His passionate speech left Dao Nu unable to refute.

Dao Nu gnashed her teeth several times. If she could, she would have taken direct action. But before leaving, His Majesty repeatedly instructed her to cooperate with Lin Che in everything.

As long as Lin Che is safe and sound, that's enough.

Your Majesty has not told us what to do in this situation.

Dao Nu is a killing weapon who has been trained and cultivated since she was a child. She is accustomed to following orders.

It is really difficult for her to judge now as she needs to think about it.

"Hmph. Lin Che, you'll regret this by disobeying His Majesty's orders time and time again."

Dao Nu left a word and strode away immediately.

No need to ask, I will definitely report what happened here to His Majesty and follow His Majesty's decision.

"Master, do you need me to follow you?"

Seeing Dao Nu leave, Yu Huadian, who had been silent beside him, asked in a low voice.

"No, we can just stay and eat."

Lin Che ignored Dao Nu.

As long as the imperial edict did not come down, Dao Nu would definitely not be able to do anything to him. If anything happened, Dao Nu would still have to protect him.

After a while, Chi Feiwan came out carrying a few large flower bowls.

As she distributed the bowls to everyone, she said to Lin Che with a smile:

"Were you just acting with Dao Nu? Or were you speaking from the heart? You're someone who can barely protect yourself, yet you're trying to save everyone here? I can't believe you still have the heart to save the world."

Chi Feiwan is a very resourceful woman.

From these words, it is impossible to tell whether she is being sarcastic or praising.

Lin Che jokingly said, "If a person doesn't have a dream, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

"What a coincidence! Today we are having salted fish."

After Chi Feiwan finished speaking, clan leaders Wu Jue and Wu Duan came out carrying wooden barrels.

"Come on, come on, you must be hungry. We don't have anything else here. If you're not used to the food, just tell us. Don't force yourself to eat it."

The next scene had a somewhat...local flavor.

Lin Che, Chi Feiwan, Yu Huadian and seven or eight others were sitting on the wood, with their legs tucked up.

Each person was holding a large bowl that was almost an antique.

Wujiu held the wooden bucket in one hand and used a spoon to distribute porridge into everyone's bowls with the other hand...it should be porridge.

It is a mixture of grains, including white rice and black beans.

As for Wu Duan, he also carried a wooden barrel and followed behind to divide the meat.

This kind of meat was in chunks as big as fists. Lin Che really couldn't tell what kind of meat it was.

There is a smell of pickled spices.

Luckily, they also use chopsticks here.

"Thank you for the hospitality, Chief."

"Hahaha, it's just a common meal. You're welcome." Clan leader Wujiu said with a smile.

He also filled a bowl for himself, said a word, and started eating first.

"I'm not polite either. I'm really hungry after all this trip."

After Lin Che finished speaking, she immediately started eating with big mouthfuls.

This piece of meat tastes a bit like a meatball dipped in sauce. As for the porridge, it has no taste and is just hot.

Those who came with Lin Che this time were all veterans who were usually entrusted with important tasks by Lin Che.

What have they not eaten in the tiankeng or the prison?

Seeing that Lin Che had already started eating, they stopped worrying about whether it was poisonous and started eating as well.

Because it is hot in the mouth, there is a sound when drinking porridge.

Slurp, slurp.

Lin Che finished a bowl, still feeling unsatisfied, and asked:

"This meat is good. What kind of meat is it? Can I have some more?"

Chief Wu Jue smiled, a hint of satisfaction showing on his old face. He said, "Of course, if it's not enough, I'll make some more right away. You probably don't have much of this meat outside. It's from the night raccoon."

"These night raccoons are very cunning. They always come to the village to steal chickens. We need someone to guard them. Their meat is a bit sour. If you like it, eat more. We have more."

Lin Che ate two more bowls without hesitation, and only then was he satisfied.

After eating, Wujiu actually took the initiative to say:

"You just arrived at the village, I'll show you around."

With the leadership of the patriarch, they can go to more places.

Wujiu first took them to the houses in the village, as if to understand the people's sentiments.

The first house is also circular and has two floors.
