Ultimately, they decided to set up several more traps and alarms around their fence so they could know in advance if anyone approached.
As time went by, a month had passed since the tsunami, and the water level was dropping every day. Setting up obstacles along the water's edge was impractical, so the only option was to set up traps near the campsite.
The place they're living in isn't exactly home, so they call it a campsite, which is a rough reflection of their reality.
Seeing that the important matters had been discussed, Li Jingjing brought up the issue of piglets. Grandma Wu and Sun Wei were not in favor of raising pigs, since they would not stay on the mountain forever, and it would be inconvenient to relocate after raising pigs.
Xu Lin also considered it. She had quite a few pigs in her space, and the pork was more than she could eat for several lifetimes. Wild boar meat wasn't as fragrant as domestic pork, and raising them herself wasn't very interesting. Besides, castrating pigs was too cruel. Therefore, she decided to sell them when the time was right.
Sun Wei and the others also had the supplies they collected this time, but Xu Lin still brought two bunches of wild vegetables for them. It's about giving and receiving to maintain neighborly relations.
Before they had even left Sun Wei's house, shouts came from outside the fence. When they went out to see what was happening, they found a woman in her twenties wearing sportswear leading five men.
Xu Lin felt that there was a young man behind the woman who looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she realized that he was the young man she had met a couple of days ago.
"Hello, I am the village head of Yuanshan Farm. My name is Shu Ling'er. A couple of days ago, four young men from our village came out to collect supplies and heard that you can exchange supplies here," said the young woman leading the group.
It turns out the village chief is a girl!
"Hello, please come in and talk," Xu Lin said first.
Because the house was too small, the group sat on a stone in front of Sun Wei's house and chatted.
"I never expected the village chief to be so young, and a woman at that. She's amazing," Li Jingjing said.
Xu Lin had already told Li Jingjing and the others about the few young men she had met outside, as well as the heroic deeds of the "village chief." Everyone thought the village chief was a boy and remarked that the young man was quite good. Who knew that this good young man was actually a girl, which made Li Jingjing admire him even more.
It's already difficult for girls to survive in the apocalypse, let alone young and beautiful girls. Not only did she live well, but she also led the villagers to struggle in the apocalypse and create a life with their hardworking hands.
"Don't listen to Yang An and the others' nonsense. I just did what I was supposed to do." Shu Ling'er waved her hand. "We came here today to exchange supplies with you."
Shu Ling'er glosses over Li Jingjing's praise and takes out a handful of herbs from the bamboo basket she carries with her.
“Our village used to make a living by collecting medicinal herbs, and every household has some herbs stored up, so we brought some herbs here to exchange with you.”
“We can collect the herbs ourselves, but we don’t know how to process some of them, so we need your processed herbs.”
Xu Lin frankly admitted that she had a complete guide to Chinese herbal medicines, so collecting herbs was not difficult and she knew how to process them, but she didn't have that much energy and the time cost was too high.
"I know that, so I only brought prepared herbs. It won't be convenient for us to carry herbs when we migrate, so it would be good to be able to exchange them for some useful supplies," Shu Ling'er said.
"Okay, what do you want to change to?"
"Yang Ping brought back toothpaste, toothbrushes, and other daily necessities last time. Hmm, I wonder what else you have?" Shu Ling'er said.
"I have two wild boar piglets here, do you want them?" Xu Lin didn't forget to promote her piglets.
