Chapter 61: Stock up on food first
The food they originally brought was naturally enough for them to eat all the way to northern Hubei. Combined with the food they had obtained in the mountains and the meat of a hundred or so hyenas, there was still some left over.
But who made them so unlucky that they ran into the Jun people from Daye Valley again?
The situation was urgent at the time and it was impossible to take everything with you. In the panic, no one noticed that most of the things on the rafts left behind were food.
In short, now it is still unknown whether their rations can get out of the mountain smoothly, let alone reach northern Hubei.
When Li Laosan explained the situation, everyone was dumbfounded.
"What food is lost?"
"Can't we go back and look for it again?"
"How can I find you? Aren't you afraid of running into the Jun people again?"
"Then this"
The team was in an uproar and no one was calm.
People say that if you have food in your pocket, you won't be worried. But they have no food now, so they don't have to be worried.
Shen Qingqian frowned. It was a pity to lose the food, but there was no way to ask people to go and get it back. After all, if too few people went, they couldn't get it back. If too many people went, the target would be too big, and it would be bad if they ran into people from the Jun tribe.
Cheng San and Cheng Yun could go, but there were only two of them. Not to mention whether they could find the place where they lost their things, they wouldn't be able to get much back even if they found them.
Shen Qingqian looked around and saw lush trees. However, June and July were the harvest seasons, and there was no shortage of food in the mountains. Some fruits on the trees hung freely on the branches.
"I have an idea." Shen Qingqian thought for a long time before speaking.
Li Laosan looked at her and asked anxiously, "Sixth Miss, do you have any good ideas?"
Given Shen Qingqian's care for them these days, Li Laosan inexplicably developed a sense of trust in her.
Shen Qingqian said slowly, "We can find a place to camp first and divide everyone into two groups. One group will stay in the camp to search for food and store food, while the other group will go back and retrieve the things that were left behind."
We don't know what the situation is like down the mountain. During a war, it is very likely that we won't be able to buy food even if we have money. Instead of that, it would be better to store enough food in the mountains for the trip to northern Hubei before going down the mountain.
But this would put both groups in danger.
"This..." Li Laosan looked at the sun in the sky and fell into deep thought.
Sheng Ze glanced at Shen Qingqian and lowered his eyelids.
Not long after, Li Laosan gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do as Sixth Miss said! The situation in the mountains is unpredictable, and the situation down there is unclear. There are still many edible things to pick in the mountains. Let's stock up as much as we can before we go down the mountain. However..."
At this point, he looked at Sheng Ze and said, "The food we left behind earlier will be in your hands. It's been five days since we left there. If you go back to look for it, I can only give you seven days to go back and forth. Regardless of whether you find it or not, you must come and reunite with us."
If the food supply in the mountains was not fixed, Li Laosan was not sure whether he could make up for the missing food. So he thought of asking Sheng Ze to take people to look for it and see if he could bring back some of the lost food.
"Let Cheng Yun take the people there, and I'll stay here so I can take care of them." Sheng Ze didn't refuse, but pushed the matter to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun immediately opened his mouth to refuse, but Sheng Ze stared back.
Li Laosan thought about it and nodded, "Alright, then let's quickly find a suitable place to camp. After we decide on a place, Chengyun will pick the people to go."
