Chapter 12: Unexpected Gains



Mu Jin hadn't expected that today's action would actually yield such unexpected rewards. Although the village chief and his family had taken care of them before, that was all they did.

Just like what happened with Liu Ergou, he never helped me much. Today, I accidentally helped the villagers, and the village chief stood up.

This person still needs to make himself valuable, Mu Jin sighed silently.

With the village chief around, even those who have bad intentions towards me will have to think twice before offending the village chief. The days ahead should be peaceful for a while.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they used the remaining water to wash themselves, changed their clothes, and felt refreshed.

Since there was still a lot of food in the mountains that had not been picked, the village chief decided to rest here for a few days, pick some more food, and replenish the water supply.

Following Mu Jin's suggestion, the villagers first ate the fruits that were not easy to store, dried the mushrooms, and made all the food that could be made into dry food. They threw away the food that took up space and was difficult to carry, saving energy.

If you don't have anything, you can buy more after you settle down. The villagers thought it made sense and started to pack light.

After three or four days of rest, everyone's body has recovered. At the suggestion of Mujin, they did not pick all the things in the mountain.

The weather was hot and things couldn't be kept. Instead of picking too much and letting it go bad, it was better to let it continue to grow and leave it to the refugees behind. Having experienced the pain of hunger, most of the villagers were kind and agreed to this decision.

Because the weather was too hot and the sun was scorching hot, people could get their skin peeled off. In order to make it easier to move forward, they decided to walk through the mountains.

Although the road is rough, at least it is not sunny and the journey can be faster. If you walk on the mountain road, you can no longer bring a cart or something. It is another journey of separation.

Walking in the mountains, there are trees to block the view, but they can't stand the heat. They walked for a month, stopping and starting. The water and dry food in their hands were also running out as they were frugal.

Fortunately, with their previous experience, the villagers began to go into the mountains together to find food.

This time we were not as lucky as before. In the previous mountain, the refugees were not willing to take the risk to go into the deep mountains. Because people were not in such a desperate situation, there were still abundant wild fruits.

But when they reached this mountain, the refugees in front of them ignored their fear and went into the mountains to look for a way to survive. Compared to waiting to die, people would rather be reborn as starving ghosts.

So there are very few wild fruits on the mountain. Fortunately, we found a water source, which can solve the urgent problem.

Mu Jin went to the mountains with Mu Bai when she was free, and accidentally found animal feces on the ground. According to past experience, this was the feces of large animals.

I think there are wild animals in this mountain. Judging from the shape and humidity of the feces, it only takes one or two days.

Looking at the trampled grass around, judging from the footprints, these are bear footprints. It seems that we need to remind the villagers not to go up the mountain alone.

At the same time, Mu Jin also had a bold plan

Pull the silly kid who is still looking around and go down the mountain quickly

He found the village chief, informed him of his discovery on the mountain, and revealed his hunting plan.

After careful consideration, the village chief called several former hunters in the village to see if Mu Jin's plan was feasible.

In the eyes of the village chief, Mu Jin was just a woman living in the inner house, but she was a little smarter than other women.

Although the plan sounds very meticulous, we cannot put the lives of the entire village on this gamble based on his one-sided statement.
