Xu Ning turned on the infrared and adjusted the focus several times, and finally saw Li the Hunter who had returned with a full load.

"Dad! Grandma! Uncle Li is back!" Xu Ning slid down the crooked tree again and told everyone the good news that Hunter Li was back.

Hunter Li caught a lot of things this time. The reason why he came back late was that he happened to encounter a wild ginseng on the way back, and he was late because he was digging the ginseng.

"Auntie, Brother Xu, I'm so sorry, I was confused. We can dig the ginseng tomorrow!"

"Hey, I'm glad you're okay! Go and comfort your wife. She's very worried about you." Old Mrs. Xu patted Li the Hunter's arm and turned around to prepare dinner.

"Brother Li, we caught a silly roe deer in our trap this afternoon! We also caught a wild rabbit. The meat has been processed, and the skin is waiting for you to clean it up!"

"I still have a few rabbits and pheasants here. Brother Xu, please help me shave the meat off. I..."

"Go quickly!" Xu Da pushed Li the hunter towards Feng. Seeing this, Zhang, who was originally comforting Feng, returned to her husband to help.

"Hey!" Li the hunter took two quick steps back to his wife. He didn't dare hug her because there was still blood on her body. He could only keep comforting her.

"Wife, I was wrong. I will definitely come back before dark next time!" Feng wiped her eyes and finally burst into laughter when she saw her husband's helpless look.

The Xu family breathed a sigh of relief, but Xu Ning complained that he was starving.

While everyone was busy, Xu Ning secretly took out the barbecue ingredients from the treasure box and gave them to Old Mrs. Xu. In the end, the two families had a barbecue dinner together!

"Auntie! These ingredients are so delicious!" Li the hunter praised the barbecue ingredients highly.

"Mrs. Xu's cooking skills are just a mess." Old Mrs. Xu casually put the blame on Xu Ning's mother.

Zhang and Xu Da looked at each other. Li the Hunter did not ask or explain, but silently ate the fragrant barbecue in his hand!

The two babies of the Xu family didn't even open their mouths to speak, their mouths full of oil.

Old Man Xu watched with a smile, and Mrs. Feng felt satisfied with the happy atmosphere in the cave.

Xu Ning was stroking his meat while laughing uncontrollably at what Old Lady Xu said. Isn't that just nonsense? Haha...

After dinner, Xu Ning was so tired after climbing up and down all day that he fell asleep immediately. Xu Dabao wanted to help the adults, but was sent away by Old Mrs. Xu to sleep with Xu Xiaobao.

Old Man Xu was the oldest and not in high spirits. Like Mrs. Feng, he only ate a few pieces of barbecue and drank a large bowl of wild vegetable and egg soup before going to bed early due to health reasons.

At this time, Old Lady Xu and Zhang were still helping to pickle the pheasants and rabbits brought back by Hunter Li, while Hunter Li was in charge of preparing the skins.

Xu Da kept some of the meat for tomorrow morning, and roasted the rest into jerky for easy carrying.

The next day, Xu Ning opened his eyes, which were covered with eye boogers, and opened his mouth, almost killing himself.

I have a sore throat! And I haven't brushed my teeth in three days!

Xu Ning wiped the boogers from his eyes and came to his senses. Hey, it’s more than just not brushing my teeth for three days?

Forget it, Xu Ning lay back down again.

Old Mrs. Xu is old and is more prone to getting a sore throat, so I stewed a pot of wild vegetable and meat soup for her in the morning!

Xu Ning ate from the bowl but could hardly taste the food. After finishing his meal, he pulled Xu's second child into the bushes.

Although they had a comfortable time in the mountains for the past two days, both families knew that they had to quickly escape to a suitable place to survive, as it was not feasible to survive in the mountains for a long time.

The deep mountains are not as peaceful as I have seen in the past two days. This is the territory of wild beasts. It is easy to be targeted if you are not careful. In addition, there are many elderly, weak, women and children in the two families, so it is very unsafe.

Xu Ning was extremely reluctant to part with the little red fruit, so he bargained with the treasure chest and finally exchanged 100 points for one square meter of storage space, the kind that keeps the fruit fresh.

Xu Jia Erbao knew that this was a box given by Xu Ning, the god. When he saw Xu Ning throwing the picked red fruits into the box, he also helped to put them in.

"Daya? Dabao and Xiaobao! Stop picking them! It's time for us to go!" Zhang had already packed her luggage, and Old Lady Xu asked her to call the three little ones back.

Xu Ning looked at the bushes reluctantly. Goodbye, her little red fruits!

After getting out of the mountains, Hunter Li found a complete cart. The two families decided that Xu Da would push the cart, and the luggage and food would be covered with quilts. Then Old Man Xu, several children, and Feng would sit on the cart to block the way. Hunter Li would be responsible for holding a bow and arrow to lead the way, while Old Lady Xu and Zhang would walk around the cart.

Xu Ning did not dare to let his guard down and used a telescope to observe his surroundings every few steps.

There were many refugees on the road who were too hungry to walk, and they kept stretching out their hands to beg passers-by.

Old Mrs. Xu looked very unhappy. She leaned close to Xu Ning and Xu Xiaobao, using her body to block them from seeing.

At noon, Li the hunter found a shady place to stop and rest.

Old Mrs. Xu took out two bamboo tubes, one containing cooked mugwort soup and the other containing boiled water.

The weather was very hot and the ground looked like it was smoking. Old Mrs. Xu didn't dare to take out any food, and no one had much appetite either. They just drank a sip of water and then rested.

"God really won't give me a way to live..." Old Mrs. Xu sat next to Feng. Feng drank two sips of warm mugwort soup and felt a little better.

"Auntie, please go and rest."

"I'm not in a hurry. The sun is too strong and I can't leave. I'll go see if there's any mugwort nearby and make you a pot later."

"aunt……"

"I don't need to worry. No one can get sunbathed under the tree, and I won't walk around. Don't worry!" Old Mrs. Xu turned around and looked around the big tree. She gave up when she found that there was no mugwort nearby.

Xu Ningren was wilted by the sun and lay on the cart, not wanting to move. She glanced at the road ahead and saw many people looking at her with malicious eyes.

Hunter Li was guarding in front with a bow and arrow. When those people saw that they could not get any food from the Xu family, they turned their attention to passers-by.

Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves and the sound of a carriage turning.

Xu Ning narrowed his eyes and put the telescope back into his arms.

Not long after, a scholar appeared in front of them driving a shabby carriage.

"Please, give me something to eat!"

"Good man, please give us something to eat! The child is dying!"

The carriage was not moving fast, and the scholar sitting in the front of the carriage frowned.

The hungry refugees surrounded the carriage and stopped it. The scholar whipped them away, "How dare you! The county magistrate is on duty! Get out of the way!"

It would have been better if the scholar hadn't said anything. When they heard it, they thought there was the county magistrate in the car, and more refugees rushed forward, crying and shouting for the county magistrate to intervene and save their lives.

Xu Ning looked a little numb. Such a shabby carriage looked like the owner was poor, otherwise he wouldn't have been without guards.

But it is a horse-drawn carriage after all, and a lean camel is bigger than a horse. How could the refugees miss this opportunity?

Sure enough, seeing that the scholar refused to give them food, some refugees rushed directly into the carriage, and soon the scholar heard a scream from behind!
