After the village chief asked everyone to put away their things, he gathered all the adults in the village around a big fire.

He told everyone how he led a dozen people down the mountain, found a yak, and then encountered the Sakura people who robbed and killed people.

"Then why did you and Xiao Feiniu come back without any reason? Did you two hide away and let our men go and fight the Sakura people?"

“Wuwuwu… My man died so unjustly… Wuwuwu…”

A woman could no longer sit still when she heard this. She pointed at the village chief and Xiao Feiniu and burst into tears.

Seeing this, other family members also started crying.

"Everyone, stop crying! Can't you see that the village chief still has gauze wrapped around his head and Xiao Feiniu has a splint on his arm? Why are the two of them hiding?"

"The village chief and his companions were just lucky. They were rescued by two kindhearted people. Unfortunately, when those two kindhearted people passed by, the others were already dead."

"So you can't blame the village chief and Xiao Feiniu for this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame those damn Sakura people. It's them who caused so many families in our village to be broken up. We can't be so weak anymore! We have to make them pay the price they deserve!"

When Dr. Ma saw that the village chief and Xiao Feiniu both kept their heads down and kept silent, he couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said a few fair words.

"Oh... God... How can we, an orphan and a widow, live like this?"

"Wow...why are we so miserable..."

After hearing what Dr. Ma said, everyone understood that the village chief and Xiao Feiniu could not be blamed for this. They couldn't feel unbalanced just because they saved their lives!

But they still have to cry, cry for the loss of their men! Cry for the hateful people of Sakura Country! Cry for the fact that they can’t live in the future!

"I know everyone is sad, but we still have to live our lives. Don't worry, as long as I have something to eat, you won't starve!"

The village chief stood up and assured everyone.

Then he went on to say, "The supplies we carried up here today were specially given to the families in need by the two kindhearted people who rescued us."

"Your life won't go on like this. As long as our village is still here, we will face the difficulties together!"

"Village...Village Chief...You said these supplies are for us?"

"Then... can we share the food now? My two children haven't eaten or drunk anything for a whole day!"

A village woman who had just been wiping her tears stopped crying immediately when she heard that the village would not ignore them and that there were still plenty of supplies to be distributed.

The others were similar. After all, no matter how much the dead cried, they would not come back. Now they cared more about how much supplies they could get at home.

The village chief, Doctor Ma, and Feiniu's father distributed most of the supplies they brought from Su Keke to the families who had gone out and did not return.

The remaining small portion was distributed to those who really had no rice to eat.

The village chief, Xiao Feiniu and Doctor Ma only took the bag of dumplings that Grandma Qiao gave them later, and gave the rest of the supplies to people who were more in need.

"Old Wang! Why don't you get the child a bag of potato chips? These potato chips are delicious! Our Yan Zi used to like eating them."

When the village chief's wife took off her canvas bag, she wanted to keep the bag of potato chips as well.

"Okay! Just take this bag of potato chips! The other vegetables can be given to those in need. We'll wait until tomorrow when the wind is a little lighter and then go out to dig up some wild vegetables to eat."

The families who received the supplies have now returned to their own corners and are preparing to cook dinner. They can finally have a full meal tonight.

The three young men who followed Dr. Ma down the mountain are now looking at the instructions and demonstrating to other villagers how to heat up military rations.

"Wow! These things are so magical! They can heat up the meal just like a child playing house?"

"Hey! What's in this small bag? Why are there two pills? People out there have to take a pill before eating every day? That's really weird."

Several villagers gathered together and watched with great interest as many large and small packages of food were taken out of a large box of military rations.

"Uncle Lin! These are vitamins for strengthening the body. And the food we eat is not ordinary food. These are the food that soldiers eat on the battlefield. They are rich in nutrition and provide calories and vitamins."

One of the young men repeated to everyone what Su Keke had told them.

Seeing the curious looks from people around him, the young man spoke even more excitedly.

Doctor Ma hurried back to a large rock where he was, took the medical kit, and planned to check on Xiao Feiniu's arm.

"We haven't had dinner yet, why are you carrying the medicine box? Look at you, do we have anything else to eat besides that little bit of rice? You went out to help find people today, and brought back so many supplies, why don't you want anything?"

Dr. Ma’s wife angrily put the bag of dumplings in the pot to heat them up. The children at home hadn’t had dinner yet!

In the past, Doctor Ma often treated the villagers for free. At that time, she also raised yaks and did handicrafts to earn some money.

In this kind of weather, there is nothing outside, so their family only brought out a bag of rice, and they have eaten most of it in the past few days.

Ma Qingshan is so noble that he carried back so many supplies, but he only took a bag of dumplings?

"Don't you know that many people in the village haven't returned? Orphans and widows will have a hard time in the future. Don't we still have half a bag of rice? After we eat it, I will go to the mountains to dig wild vegetables. At least you and your mother won't starve to death."

Ma Qingshan glared at his wife and said loudly.

Fortunately, the cave is big enough so the villagers can live in it without being too crowded.

The big rock that Ma Qingshan found was a little distance away from the others.

Otherwise, if they were talking so loudly, a crowd of people would probably gather around them.

Ma Qingshan's wife is named Du Juan. She is a hot-tempered but kind-hearted person.

After hearing what Ma Qingshan said, he became even more unhappy.

She pulled Ma Qingshan's sleeve and said, "Did you bring those dead people down the mountain? You were so kind to go out and look for them today."

"It's their duty that the village chief and Chen Tusheng's family don't want to share the supplies. Why are you pretending to be a good person? Don't you know that we are almost unable to make ends meet?"

Just as the two were arguing, their son Xiaojie came back with an unhappy look on his face.

When Xiaojie came back, he shouted to his parents, "Dad! Mom! Why don't we have that big box of rice at home? The rice is so delicious and you can eat it by burning a candle!"

"Ask your dad! Your dad wants to be a good man in the village, so he gives all the good things to other children first."

Du Juan, who was already angry, rolled her eyes at Ma Qingshan and squatted down to watch the fire.
