Jun Shutong took out the food from the space and placed it on the ground that had been cleaned long ago.
The terrain here is relatively flat, and the cut down trees are piled aside.
Ten miles away, the orcs arrived quickly.
"Hello Miss Jun, you have worked hard."
"Is this all food?"
Jun Shutong smiled and nodded: "Chief Rick, this is a month's rations for 5,000 people. I'll have to trouble you to have them moved back."
Looking at the food piled up like a small mountain, Chief Rick's eyes first lit up, then filled with tears. He knelt down in front of Jun Shutong, and hundreds of orcs behind him also knelt down.
"Why do these orcs kneel down at every turn? They don't even consider whether a child like me can bear it. Sigh!"
"Chief, there's no need to do this. The Kunda people work for me, so I pay them with food. It's only natural."
"That being said, Miss Jun, you hired my Kunda people, and you hired others as well. This opportunity was given to my people, so you are our benefactor."
Chief Rick brought five hundred people to transport food, but they came empty-handed.
"Chief, does your tribe have any farm tools like wheelbarrows, baskets, or backpacks?"
"I know about baskets and backpacks. The tribe still has some, but they are all in tatters and far from enough, so I didn't bring any."
In fact, there are several baskets and backpacks, but they would rather carry them with their bodies than use them.
Fortunately, the food was packed in bags, otherwise it would be impossible to carry it.
There are wheelbarrows in Jun Shutong's space, but there are too few of them, and they are reserved for building houses.
She had observed the terrain of this area long ago. The terrain was flat and the trees, although thick, were much sparser than in other places. That was why she chose this place as her base.
There is absolutely no problem using a wheelbarrow on the route from here to the Kunda tribe, but the speed is definitely much slower than on flat ground, but this is enough to reduce the burden on the orcs.
She had no choice but to take it out. If they really had to carry one bag each, it would take them forever.
"Chief, please arrange for some people to carry some food back. It would be best if you leave some members of the tribe to guard the area tonight. We don't have to worry about thieves stealing the food, but we have to worry about animals destroying it."
"Miss Jun is right. This is also my plan. I will go back and arrange for more tribesmen to come and move the food back. Miss Jun, please help look after it for the time being."
"Elder, please go and do your work. I will wait until you have finished moving before I leave."
Five hundred people, each carrying a bag, returned in such a mighty procession.
Jun Shutong hurried to a place a hundred meters away, took out the wheelbarrows from the space, and piled them all on the open space.
By the next trip, they can load five bags at a time and two people can push them.
An ordinary wheelbarrow can only hold one or two bags, but after the improvement, it is more than twice as large as an ordinary wheelbarrow.
After dinner, everyone felt a shaking, and the birds in the forest were awakened and flew away from their nests cursing.
It turned out that they were members of the Kunda tribe who had returned again.
Wow, there are two thousand people coming this time. Looking at their excited eyes, there is not a trace of fatigue at all.
Jun Shutong taught them how to load things into a wheelbarrow, and that two people had to work together to push it, otherwise the center of gravity would be unstable and the cart would easily overturn. The mountain-like pile of grain was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
I estimate that with just one more trip, all the goods will be transported. It seems that there is no need to be on duty tonight.
After the food was moved away, Jun Shutong gave instructions to the others:
"I'll be gone for a few days after I go down the mountain today. You should also go back early and guard the camp to prevent them from causing any trouble."
"Yes, miss."
After explaining the situation to Jun Yi and the others and giving them some instructions, Jun Shutong prepared to return to the camp at the foot of the mountain.
"Miss, it's too late. There are many poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains. Let me accompany you."
It is indeed a bit creepy for a child to walk alone in the primeval forest in the middle of the night.
There are definitely no bad guys, but there are still a lot of poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
Jun Shutong thought about it and decided to let Jun San and Jun Si accompany her down the mountain. In a few days, she would need an adult to accompany her when she went out shopping.
For those who practice martial arts, the night has no impact on their travels except that it makes it inconvenient for them to see.
The three of them were already very fast, and since they were going down the mountain, they returned to the camp in just over two hours.
In the camp, everyone else had already gone to bed, and the two maids were still waiting for Jun Shutong to come back.
"Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Miss, I will wait for you to come back and rest."
"I need to be away for a few days to buy some food, livestock, and farm tools. You two should stay at the camp and keep an eye on them. Don't let them cause any trouble."
"Miss, where are you going to buy food and livestock?" Xia Xue asked worriedly.
"The closest places to here are Turkic and Western Yue."
"We need to take a boat to get to Xiyue, which is too time-consuming. We can only go to Turkestan."
"My lady, the Turkic region is very windy and sandy, with a dry climate and cold weather in the mornings and evenings. Please let this servant accompany you."
Seven years ago, Xia Xue and the young lady and her husband went to the Turkestan region. The conditions there were terrible and life was difficult, and the young lady suffered a lot there.
In such a terrible environment, she naturally had to accompany the young lady.
At this time, Yingying also said: "Miss, I will accompany you. I know martial arts and can protect you and also get information."
"Yingying, the young lady is used to my care, so you should stay in the camp and wait for us to come back."
"But you don't know martial arts."
"What's wrong with not knowing martial arts? You can't expect to be attacked by assassins the moment you step out! Besides, the young lady has already left the capital. Who would come all the way here to die?"
"But you don't know martial arts."
"Jun San and Jun Si are following us. It will be fine if they know martial arts."
