Old Zhao looked somewhat embarrassed. He never expected that these guards would be able to hunt so many prey!

Most of the people in Zhao Family Village make a living by hunting. The skilled hunters who first came to Sanyang Mountain caught a lot of prey in the first two days, but only three or five rabbits and two or three pheasants. After a few days, many of the prey were scared away, and it has become increasingly difficult to catch any prey in the last two days.

Embarrassed as he was, he still had to maintain the dignity of the Zhao family patriarch in front of this five-year-old girl, so he nodded and said, "Yes, I did say that. We don't eat your prey. For people from Zhao Family Village, it's not difficult for us to eat prey; A-Tian and the other young men have already gone hunting!"

He was shouting the last sentence at the villagers of Zhao Family Village.

The people of Zhao Village were speechless, but the clan chief's words were an order, and they dared not disobey.

The people of Yunjia Village were outraged. Several women who were cooking porridge glared at Yun Laoqi and said, "Clan leader, the people of Zhaojia Village eat our grain. Why can't we let Xiao Fubao and her daughter eat it too? She's our village's little Fubao!"

"Yes, she, she's still a county princess!"

It's likely that Taizhou is unaware that the Su family has been granted the rank of Fifth-Rank Yiren.

Another woman said, "If it weren't for Xiao Fubao, we would have starved to death long ago! They originally came up the mountain to offer help, but who knew that damned thief would find them! They didn't come up the mountain to freeload off us!"

"That's right! When your Zhao family village came to Yun family village, you didn't bring a single grain of rice with you! If it weren't for the fact that you happened to be hiding in these mountains where you could hunt, wouldn't you still be eating our rice and grain?!"

The villagers of Zhao Family Village couldn't hold back any longer. "But it's such a coincidence that we came up the mountain! We didn't just eat your food for free; we hunted some game and came to share half with you!"

Yun Laoqi shouted, "Alright, stop arguing! Since it was the Zhao family patriarch who brought this up first, let's do as he says! Our two families no longer need to eat together. You go hunting, and we'll cook our porridge. From today onwards, we'll cook our food here and won't need to supply the people of Zhao Family Village anymore. That way, no one owes anyone anything!"

The people of Zhao Family Village were completely bewildered. The people of Yun Family Village were no longer providing them with food? And they weren't eating the game that Zhao Family Village had hunted?

The people of Yunjia Village used to be exchanging thin porridge for meat, which wasn't worth it.

Oh, that's right. Now that some people in Yunjia Village can hunt, they naturally don't care about their prey!

Someone laughed and said, "You guys are really stupid. You could have traded a few bags of rice for meat, and now you're not going to?!"

"It's better not to change it! We should eat more meat ourselves!"

"Yes! It's good that you're not changing! Fine, don't change then! Let's see if you can still catch this many prey every day!"

One old woman even spat, "Pah! They use such a little bit of thin porridge to take away so much of our meat every day! I feel bad for them!"

"Exactly! We're getting the short end of the stick! Luckily you didn't switch! We can eat our fill of meat right now! And you won't get any advantage!"

The clan chief's wife, who was listening nearby, trembled with anger. "Fine! We led you to safety, and you dare to say we took advantage of you! Fine! From today onwards, we'll each eat our own food! No one will take advantage of anyone else!"

The villagers of Yunjia Village didn't say anything more, and Yun Tiankuang even came over and picked up a pheasant and started smashing it on the ground.

Xiao Youran quickly kicked a wooden basin over, "Third cousin! No! If you drain the blood and add a couple of grains of salt, you can make a pot of spicy blood curd!"

Yun Tiankuang asked subconsciously, "What is Mao Xue Wang?"

Xiao You Ran: ……

Um... can I exchange it for a Mao Xue Wang (a spicy Sichuan dish) seasoning packet?

Several young men from Yunjia Village also brought water over at this time, and an aunt immediately called out, "Pour it into this pot, boil the water so we can scald the hair!"

While they were busy on this side, the people of Zhao Family Village watched all this with resentment, occasionally glancing towards the deep mountains.

Finally, a few figures emerged, and the villagers of Zhao Village were excited. "Hey, isn't that A-Tian and his group? Let's see how much game they've caught today!"

"There must be a lot of game on the mountain today! Look how much those people from Yunjia Village have caught! Ah Tian and the others must have had a great harvest too!"

When the group reached them, each of them dropped a pitifully small wild rabbit, leaving the villagers of Zhao Village bewildered. "That's it?"

"Just these four little rabbits? Ah Tian, ​​have you guys been slacking off and not hunting seriously? Look at them, they've caught more than a dozen fat, big pheasants!"

The guy named A-Tian got angry. "We're slacking off? You go and try hunting! Don't you know what 'sitting around and living off our savings' means? All the prey on this mountain has been scared away; it's definitely going to get harder and harder to hunt!"

The villagers of Zhao's Village, who had been reprimanded, fell silent.

Elder Zhao had no choice but to give orders, "You lot, stop arguing and go kill the rabbit first. You young men over there, go and see if there's any prey!"

A-Tian was confused. "Why do we still have to go?"

Someone nearby whispered to him about the conflict between the Yun and Zhao families.

A-Tian's eyes held a look that was hard to describe.

Is it a loss to trade grain for meat?

hehe.

So on this day, everyone in Zhao Village wore expressions that were hard to describe.

Why is it different from what I imagined?

Why are the people of Yunjia Village still not full even though they don't need to share half of their meat with them?

Moreover, even though I ate two pieces of meat, why am I even hungrier than yesterday when I only drank a bowl of porridge and ate a piece of meat?

Especially with that strange aroma wafting from the big pot over there, the roasted rabbit meat just doesn't smell good at all anymore.

The next day, the people of Zhao Village couldn't take it anymore. Some asked the people of Yun Village to borrow some salt, while others went up the mountain to find some wild vegetables and mushrooms.

On the third day, the old woman who had accused the Yun family of taking advantage of her pleaded with the Yun family's seventh son and his wife, crying, "Clan head, clan head's wife! This old woman only gets two pieces of rabbit meat a day, which I can't chew or swallow... I'm so hungry... Please, give me a bowl of thin porridge! I'll trade you the rabbit meat!"

The clan chief's wife immediately felt triumphant. "You think you can hunt anything? Haven't you seen how many times more game our Yun family hunts? Who cares about your two pieces of hard, tasteless rabbit meat? Even the spicy blood curd we make from pheasant blood is a hundred times better than this rabbit meat!"

The old woman cried, "I know, I feel hungry just from the smell! Please, sister-in-law, give me a little bit of porridge!"

Seeing this, Yun Manwan, who was standing nearby, softened her heart and handed over the bowl of porridge she was holding, saying, "Aunt Zhao, you can have mine."

Yun Manqian tugged at her older sister's sleeve, "Big sister, you gave her your porridge, what will you drink?"

Yun Manyan smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm not hungry."

The old woman took the bowl and began to drink it in large gulps.

With this leader in charge, over the next two days, more and more people from Zhao Family Village came to Yun Family Village to ask for a bowl of porridge.

Although Old Zhao felt embarrassed, they were his own villagers, and he couldn't just watch them suffer, so he had no choice but to turn a blind eye.

But every time he saw Yun Laoqi, he would just give an awkward smile.

Yun Laoqi, with his nostrils flared, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
