"Mom, I wonder where they are now, and whether they've found Pinghe Village yet." A middle-aged woman poured boiled water into kettles while chatting with her mother-in-law beside her.

Instead of living in the resettlement houses with the other refugees who came with them, they set up tents and madeshift homes not far away.

"Whether they find them or not, they will be back by tomorrow at the latest. Tianxiang and the others will definitely keep their own schedule." Grandma Wu carefully examined the wild mushrooms she had picked up with her reading glasses. These mushrooms were picked up by her children and grandchildren from the distant mountains.

"Don't let them go out tomorrow. Luckily, we brought weapons this time, otherwise such a big wild boar would have been enough to give them a hard time." After finishing her work, Wu's mother sat down and helped her mother-in-law clean the mushrooms.

"There's no other way. If we don't find a way out, we'll all starve to death. Crisis brings opportunity, and now that we have this wild boar, it has temporarily solved our predicament."

"They just don't dare bring it back. They don't know if the place they chose is safe." Thinking about how her whole family had gone to deal with that wild boar, Mrs. Wu was still a little worried.

"I hope no one notices, otherwise there will definitely be a dispute." Grandma Wu picked up a wild mushroom. "Let's see if this one is a little different from the others. I think there are some other spots on it."

“It really does have spots.” After taking it and examining it carefully, Mrs. Wu replied, “Let’s put this aside for now. I don’t know if it’s poisonous. I’ll take it out and ask someone else later.”

"Grandma, we're back!" Wu Tianshou called out to them from afar.

"Did I hear Ah Shou's voice?" The old man's eyesight was a little blurry, but his hearing was still very sharp.

"It's them, they're back." Mrs. Wu quickly confirmed with the elderly woman.

"Judging from his relaxed tone, something good must be happening." Grandma Wu calmly continued to examine the wild mushrooms in her hand.

"It must be good news, look at the smiles on the faces of those brothers." Mrs. Wu went to greet them.

"Auntie," Wu Tianxiang and the others greeted Wu's mother.

"Go back and get some rest. You must be tired from the journey." Mrs. Wu looked at the young men in front of her, each carrying a bag.

"Grandma, look what we brought back for you." Wu Tianfu and his brothers gathered around the old lady.

"Mom, is everything alright at home?" After greeting his grandmother, Wu asked his mother.

"Everything is fine. Your dad and the others shot a wild boar when they went mushroom picking. The whole family went to deal with it. It's been so long, they should be back soon."

"Is anyone injured? Which direction are they in so we can go and meet them?" Wu Ge was a little worried that if outsiders found out, it would cause another dispute.

"No one was hurt. They were all carrying weapons. Sit down and rest. They'll be back soon. Besides, you don't know the exact location, so don't make another wasted trip. I'll get you some water."

"Auntie, come here first. Thanks to my brother, he brought us so much food. Come and try Sister-in-law Cheng's cooking." After only half a day together, Wu Tianshou and the others had already affectionately called Brother Cheng and Sister-in-law Cheng!

"You've found someone?" she asked with delight, looking at the large pile of food laid out in front of her mother-in-law.

"We found them, and their village is quite nice. They've agreed that we can settle down there."

"The main reason is that there are three of my brother's comrades over there, so we wouldn't be outsiders if we went over," Wu Tianxi added, following behind his brother.

"You guys are so inconsiderate. How could you bring back so much food from others? Everyone's having a hard time right now."

Seeing that his mother was about to start lecturing, Wu quickly interrupted, "Mom, we're all like brothers. We'll have a long time to get along, and we'll always be able to repay her."

"Alright, eldest daughter-in-law, leave these things to them from now on. We just need to take care of things at home. I see there's a bag of millet over there. I'll cook it into porridge later. Everyone should have a good stomach tonight." Old Mrs. Wu had already taken a liking to Yun Qi and the others even before they met, and the thoughtfulness she showed from the food she arranged was evident.

The Wu family is a large family. The head of the family, Wu Xiaobai, is over seventy years old. Because he exercises regularly, he is in better physical condition than some people in their forties or fifties.

He had four sons, named Wu Qingshi, Wu Qingshui, Wu Qingshan, and Wu Qingquan, and six grandsons, plus his daughters-in-law, great-grandsons, and so on, making a family of more than twenty people.

The Wu family is dominated by men, with no daughters for generations. Instead, they are all tall, strong men, so no one dares to mess with them.

When it was completely dark, Wu Xiaobai led his family back in the dark.

"We're back," Wu Xiaobai said, glancing vaguely at the people peering out from in front of the tent.

"Grandpa, you're back." Wu Tianshou and the others would come out to check on things after so long, and when they heard their grandfather's voice, they quickly went to greet him.

"You're back too. Was the journey smooth?" Wu Xiaobai was very easygoing. Although his grandson said that he could look for his comrades here and maybe find a place to settle down, he liked to have a backup plan for everything. In the past two days, although they had been looking for wild vegetables and such, they had also been looking around to see if there was a suitable place to settle down.

Once inside the tent, the family of more than twenty people packed the tent tightly. They quickly put their belongings together and then went outside to the open space.

"Let's deal with these things later. Go get something to eat first." Wu Xiaobai shooed his sons, who were still standing nearby, out of the room.

"This must have been brought back by A-Xiang and the others." Looking at the millet and red date porridge in his own bowl, the old man looked up at the bowls of his family members and found that everyone had some. Only then did he lower his head and start drinking the porridge.

The others, holding their porridge, looked at the mung bean cakes on the table, wanting to ask questions, but seeing the old man begin to lower his head and drink the porridge, they all suppressed their curiosity and began to enjoy this rare treat.

"What's going on over there?" the old man asked after everyone had finished eating.

Wu Tianxiang recounted everything he had seen and heard along the way, and focused on introducing the situation in Pinghe Village.

"Let's hear everyone's opinions and see if we should move to Pinghe Village, or find another secluded place to settle down." In the past few days, the Wu family has been looking at various places and has actually found a suitable place to live.

“Living alone is riskier. Today we only encountered one wild boar. If we had encountered a herd of wild boars, we might not have escaped unscathed.” Wu Qingshan compared the two situations in his mind and was more inclined to move to Pinghe Village.
