Chapter 87 Dinner Problem Solved

As the temperature in the cave gradually rose, the women gathered around the fire to dry their clothes.

It’s a pity that it’s not easy to dry clothes when you wear them.

Seeing this, Mo Jiuye decided to go out and hide for a while.

Seeing that he was about to leave, He Zhiran hurried forward and handed him two small bags of charcoal.

"Take these with you and send some to Brother Peng and the others."

Mo Jiuye looked at the two small bags of charcoal and felt reluctant to part with them.

He was the one who carried the charcoal up the mountain, and he knew best how much it was. Even if he didn't give it to anyone, it probably wouldn't burn for too long.

There is not enough for our own family, so we have to share it with others.

He Zhiran saw his dilemma.

"Don't worry, I still have some."

Mo Jiuye thought again of the scene where a large number of items disappeared from the national treasury, and he suddenly felt confident.

"Okay, I'll send it over to them right away."

After Mo Jiuye left, He Zhiran took the initiative to stand guard at the entrance of the cave and asked the women to take off their clothes and dry them quickly.

Gradually, the sky darkened and the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping.

Fortunately, the terrain here is high, and all the rainwater flows down the hillside without any accumulation of water.

Sitting in front of the charcoal fire, Peng Wang couldn't help but admire Mo Jiuye and his wife.

"Brother, you two are really far-sighted. I'm sure the mountainside has been flooded by now."

Mo Jiuye was obviously a little worried.

"It seems that the headman didn't listen to your advice."

Peng Wang also sighed.

"I've said everything I need to say. Liu Lizheng is also a stubborn person. He always thinks I'm exaggerating."

Mo Jiuye shook his head helplessly, there was nothing he could do about it.

Seeing the two of them chatting there, Zhang Qing squeezed over to join in the fun.

"Boss, even though we might escape a flood, staying in the mountains for a day or two won't matter. But if we stay in the mountains for too long, won't we starve to death?"

Peng Wang had thought about this problem before. At first, he just thought he could hide in the mountains for one night and leave early the next morning.

But seeing the heavy rain still continuing, he felt uncertain.

At this moment, Mo Jiuye suddenly stood up and strode to the entrance of the cave.

It is not difficult to guess Mo Jiuye's behavior. Something must have happened.

The two of them came to the cave entrance together tacitly.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Mo Jiuye made a hushed gesture towards Peng Wang, then said softly, "Brother Peng, lend me your sword. I think I heard the sound of a wild boar."

When he heard about the wild boar, Peng Wang became inexplicably excited.

If there were only a few officials present, he might be a little nervous, but the person standing in front of him was the youngest war god of the Dashun Dynasty, so he immediately put his mind at ease.

Peng Wang took Zhang Qing's sword and handed it to Mo Jiuye: "Brother, be careful."

Seeing that Mo Jiuye had already walked out of the cave, Peng Wang also followed with his knife raised.

"Brother, I'll help you."

At the same time, He Zhiran also heard the noise outside.

A smile appeared on her face, and she thought to herself: The dinner problem is solved.

As soon as she walked out of the cave, she saw Mo Jiuye's figure flash by and run towards the grass in front. Peng Wang, who was following behind him, ran all the way but couldn't catch up with Mo Jiuye.

Knowing that Mo Jiuye had taken action, He Zhiran simply returned to the cave entrance.

The rain was so heavy that if Mo Jiuye hadn't been so sensitive to danger, he might not have discovered the wild boar so early.

A wild boar's howl was heard in the distance, but was soon drowned out by the heavy rain.

Not long after, Mo Jiuye and Peng Wang came back dragging a black wild boar.

Peng Wang immediately called a few men from the other three families and ordered them to clean up the wild boar.

Only then did everyone notice that Mo Jiuye had actually hunted a wild boar in the rain.

Now they don’t have to go hungry at night.

At the same time, they also deeply realized the reason why Peng Wang brought them up the mountain. It had rained heavily for so long that the mountainside must have been flooded by rain.

Everyone was feeling somewhat relieved at this moment. Although they had lost a lot of belongings, their lives were safe.

After such a long time, the women's clothes were probably almost baked, so Mo Jiuye returned to the cave where his family was.

When they heard that there was wild boar meat to eat, everyone couldn't stop smiling.

He Zhiran was more careful. Seeing that Mo Jiuye's clothes were wet again, he pulled him to sit in front of the charcoal fire and let him warm himself up.

At the same time, Mo Jiuye also noticed that the charcoal piled in the corner seemed to be a little more than before.

He looked at He Zhiran deeply, but the inquiry in his eyes was much less than before.

He's probably seen so many strange things that he's become numb to them...

He Zhiran held up the tent and went out to pick up some branches.

There was no other way. All the cooking utensils were left at Liu Lizheng's house, so the wild boar meat could only be roasted.

No matter what, as long as everyone can fill their stomachs.

The officials were also busy. In order to eat the pork earlier, they took out their daggers or swords and cut the wild boar meat into even pieces according to He Zhiran's request.

The women were responsible for skewering all the wild boar meat.

He Zhiran was afraid that he could not handle the dinner for so many people alone, so he used all the charcoal fires in the three caves to be self-sufficient.

The officials and the other three families had no seasoning and could only eat tasteless wild boar meat, but it was different for the Mohist family.

He Zhiran has everything in his pocket...

There is salt and a small bottle of rapeseed oil.

Not only that, He Zhiran would also secretly sprinkle some seasonings that were not particularly strong when grilling the meat.

I have to say, the Mo family's dinner was absolutely delicious.

The He family benefited from the heavy rain today and were treated the same as everyone else for the first time.

The officials didn't have any black-faced steamed buns for them, but they couldn't just watch them starve. Besides, a wild boar had a lot of meat, which was enough for so many people to eat together.

Therefore, Peng Wang turned a blind eye and did not restrict them from eating wild boar meat.

Just as everyone had finished their meal and was about to rest, they heard a faint noise, accompanied by the crying of women and children.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye looked at each other.

"It should be those villagers." Mo Jiuye said with certainty.

"Well, I guess the situation down the mountain is more serious than we imagined." He Zhiran expressed his guess.

The crying and footsteps were getting closer.

While everyone was not paying attention, He Zhiran bought an antique wooden torch on Taobao, lit it, and gave it to Mo Jiuye.

Mo Jiuye came to the cave entrance holding a torch.

In the faint light of the fire, they could see a group of people walking towards them on the other side of the mountain road.

Seeing that Mo Jiuye also heard the noise outside, Peng Wang hurried over.

"Brother, I'm afraid the village has been flooded."

"Fortunately, they went up the mountain, so the casualties should not be too great." Mo Jiuye responded in a deep voice.
