Chapter 21 Calling for Help



It seems that she used the wrong method before!

"Yes, Changliu hid some supplies on the mountain. After we deal with the wolves, I will take people to the mountain to take down the food and distribute it to everyone in the village!" Shen Lin deliberately raised his voice.

The villagers all heard it.

He looked at Shen Lin in astonishment.

Some of them were smart and quickly thanked Shen Lin.

Shen Lin was very happy to be sought after.

But the Zhao family members looked very ugly.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's the food my son left for us. Why should we give it to outsiders?" Mrs. Zhao almost fainted. The people from the second and first branches of the Zhao family looked even uglier. They almost pointed at Chen Lin and cursed her.

Shen Lin stood on the moral high ground and accused the Zhao family.

"Mom, what are you talking about? We are all from the same village. How can we eat secretly and watch everyone die? Don't you see that everyone is trying hard to drive away the wolves and protect us weak women and scholars?" Shen Lin was deliberately trying to anger the Zhao family.

She had long been unhappy with the first and second wives.

She thought she treated Old Man Zhao and Mrs. Zhao well, but in the end, they still favored the eldest wife in private and told each other everything.

If Zhao Sanwa hadn't let the cat out of the bag, she wouldn't have been controlled by Zhou Jiaojiao.

Even if it can make up for the reputation that has just been lost.

But she couldn't ignore the threat Zhou Jiaojiao was threatening her, but she was smart and took advantage of it. She couldn't deny the fact that Zhou Jiaojiao was causing trouble for her.

Seeing that the family was arguing, Zhou Jiaojiao was too lazy to get involved and didn't stay any longer to achieve her goal.

She turned back to her luggage.

After Chu San bravely chopped down the wolves, it took half an hour and all the wolves were killed.

He Lincheng and others were still weak in the knees.

Chu San walked up to Zhou Jiaojiao as if to take credit, "Madam, am I awesome? I've killed all the wolves."

"Excellent, sit down and have a rest."

Zhou Jiaojiao pulled him to sit down, gave him the kettle, asked him to drink the water first, and then handed him the naan.

Fang Guanghong and the others watched this scene helplessly. He joked, "Only the third brother has this ability. We are all exhausted, and he can still go back to find a wife."

"Haha, otherwise why would you say he's the third brother."

A group of men admire Chu San. Although he is stupid, he is strong. Everyone admires the strong.

"Go and rest quickly." The village chief took the women and the young men who were not injured in the battle to collect the wolf corpses. They even collected the wolf blood. Since there was a shortage of water at the moment, many people drank the wolf blood directly.

The village chief saw this but did not stop it.

He knew that if it weren't for this harvest, many people would have died of thirst.

"Chu Da, Huang Daming..." The village chief came over and called out to the men, "Go and help Chen Lin get back the food that Changliu hid in the mountains."

"Okay." Huang Daming is Huang Shuangming's elder brother. He has a good relationship with Brother Chu. The two of them followed the village chief and asked on the way when Zhao Changliu became so powerful that he would prepare food for them in advance on the road. The key point is that the Zhao family also told the whole village about it, which is really rare.

Brother Chu said: "Maybe he didn't want to share it with us, but the news could not be concealed." However, Chen Lin had a lot of supplies, and seeing that everyone was so miserable, he took the initiative to contribute.

Brother Chu didn't have time to say the next sentence.

Huang Daming was already convinced by the first half of his sentence. "I think what you said is normal. Who wouldn't save food for their own family during this famine? Even if I had food, I wouldn't do that. After all, I have children at home. A few days ago, I saw the children crying without even a sip of water. It broke my heart and I felt useless."

"I can die by myself, but my child is still so young, I can't bear to let him go..." Huang Daming's words resonated with several men, and they all looked at the dry earth in despair.

Brother Chu wanted to explain what he said before, but found that no one was listening. Seeing that his brothers were all in a low mood, he asked out his curiosity: "Chen Lin."

Chen Lin was originally walking in front, and for the sake of taboo, she stayed relatively far away from the men.

Hearing Brother Chu calling her, she turned back impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"Why do you want to share the food with us? Please tell me your plan." Brother Chu accidentally said what was in his heart.

He pursed his lips unhappily.

No normal person would be happy to hear this.

Shen Lin originally hated the Chu family. When she heard Brother Chu ask this question, she thought it was deliberately targeting her. She was confused and subconsciously said, "If it weren't for Zhou Jiaojiao..."

She was halfway through her words when she suddenly realized she had said the wrong thing. Facing the villagers' suspicious eyes, she added with a dark face, "This food was sent by Changliu to protect us mother and child..."

Before Shen Lin could finish her words, she was interrupted by Huang Daming who followed her. He patted his chest and said, "So that's how it is. Don't worry, we've taken your food and will definitely protect you and your child."

"As long as you give us food, we will protect you and your child."

"Then we will definitely protect you and Xiaochuan."

Seeing how proactive they were, Chen Lin felt that they had achieved their goal, so he didn't bother to explain. After taking them to the place, he dug out all the food that had been buried in advance, which also contained water.

When Brother Chu and the others came back.

When Huang Daming was telling his people what Shen Lin meant, Zhou Jiaojiao also heard it.

She felt a little unbelievable after hearing it.

Is Shen Lin so stupid?

It was clearly a good hand, but she was about to ruin it.

If she said that, wouldn't it mean that she could find a reason to give out food in the future, and the villagers would only think that it was the reward they deserved, after all, they did protect Shen Lin and her son.

It is not like what is written in the novel, where everyone feels that they are grateful for what they have received and cannot hold their heads up in front of Shen Lin.

Tsk tsk.

Zhou Jiaojiao shook her head and ignored Shen Lin's actions.

She followed Chu San and other members of the Chu family, leisurely enjoying the food that Chen Lin brought out.

Eat meat comfortably.

The reason why she said that to Chen Lin before was that she wanted her to take out some food so that she could enjoy eating meat together.

The facts prove it.

The effect is very good.

The Chu family followed suit and had a delicious meal.

The food doesn’t even look like we’re fleeing famine.

While packing the wolf skins, Chu's mother asked for two skins and packed them up for use in the winter.

It is already the end of August and the weather still looks hot, but as the saying goes, when there is a severe drought, there will be a severe cold.

Shen Lin sneered when she saw Mother Chu's actions. She had a space full of supplies and she didn't even care about this. What's more, the skins of these wolves were all beaten and needed to be mended.

After resting for an hour at noon, the village chief came to inform us to continue the journey. This time we were going to Xi County, which was closest to the river, because the village was attacked by wolves and several villagers were injured.
