Lu Zifeng carefully identified the surrounding environment and knew where he was. This place was southeast of Linwu County. Looking north from here, Woniu Mountain was even farther away. Lu Zifeng ran all the way and returned to the camp in less than a quarter of an hour.
Lu Lanchen was already getting anxious waiting, but he couldn't tell anyone in the family, for fear that his third brother would find out and get worried again. Now that he saw Lu Zifeng coming back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother Feng, how about buying food?"
Lu Zifeng nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. I have already solved the food problem. However, for now, we only have coarse grains. It is difficult to buy fine grains now. The wealthy families in the city have already bought up all the fine grains."
Lu Lanchen was very happy when he heard that there was food. It was a good thing to have food at this time. How could he have the right to be picky about buying fine grains?
"Okay, okay, how much whole grain can I buy?"
Lu Zifeng calculated the food that had just been stored in the space, which was about 2,000 kilograms, and said, "Grandpa, that person only said that he could pull out 2,000 kilograms of food. He didn't have any more."
"That's fine. This will be enough food to get us to the next city, and it'll also be enough for us to eat for the time being. But when can we bring the food back?"
"Well, Grandpa, go and wake up all the young and strong men now. We have to go right away, otherwise when the sun comes up, this matter will be really difficult to handle."
At this time, Lu Lanchen also thought of the refugees surrounding Linwu County. If he went to get food in broad daylight, he and his companions would probably be doomed. Now those refugees were starving, and when they saw the food, they would probably rush up to snatch it without fear of death.
Thinking of this, Lu Lanchen didn't dare to delay any longer. He directly called out a dozen young and strong men from the tribe and followed Lu Zifeng to bring back the food.
When everyone heard that food had been found, they were immediately as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They all followed Lu Zifeng out of the passage and walked towards the south. When they reached the grove, Lu Zifeng said.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment. I'll go see if his food has arrived."
After saying that, Lu Zifeng came to a deeper place in the grove. After looking around with his mental power and finding no one, he took the food out of the space and carefully checked the weight. Only after confirming that it was correct did he leave the grove.
Besides Lu Zifeng, the other team leader this time was Lu Mingnan. Upon seeing Lu Zifeng coming out of the woods, he hurriedly went up to him and asked.
"Brother Feng, how is it? Has the food arrived?"
Seeing Lu Mingnan was a little anxious, Lu Zifeng smiled and comforted him, "Uncle Nan, don't worry. The grain has been delivered, two thousand kilograms. The price of coarse grain is not cheap now, ten cents a kilogram. Although it is a bit expensive, it is a year of famine and this is the only way."
Lu Mingnan was not dissatisfied. The family's food supply was about to run out, and they could only last for ten days at most. If they didn't find any food today, it would be difficult for the family to reach the next city.
"Okay, it's already late. Being able to buy food is already very good. There's no reason for us to be picky. Let's go in and take the food away now."
Everyone followed Lu Zifeng and drove the mule cart into the grove. The weather was clear and the silver moonlight shone through the leaves, forming spots of light on the ground. Everyone walked into the grove in the moonlight and saw a mountain of food piled in the middle of the woods. Lu Zifeng pointed at the food and said to everyone.
"This is two thousand kilograms of coarse grain. Hurry and load it onto the truck!"
Lu Mingnan directed everyone to load all the food onto the mule carts. This time, three mule carts were used so that each mule cart could load less and move faster.
It took more than an hour to pull all the food back to the camp. At this time, the sky was about to dawn and the moon was already white in the east. Lu Lanchen looked at the food that was pulled back and finally felt at ease. Now he no longer had to worry about not having enough food.
Early the next morning, Lu Lanchen gathered his clansmen and began to distribute food.
"Everyone, yesterday Brother Feng ventured out to find food and brought it back. As everyone knows, food is precious in this year of famine, and Brother Feng went to great lengths to find it. Last night, he brought some people to bring it back from outside. Let's make a deal: ten cents per pound. If you want it, we can pay for it. If you don't want it, we won't force you. Okay, let's start distributing the food!"
After Lu Lanchen finished speaking, he heard someone say, "Uncle Patriarch, we are all members of the Lu family. Why are you saying so much? It's great that Brother Feng can find food for us. If anyone dares to complain, I will be the first to forgive him."
The person who spoke was Lu Mingyi, the third son of the second grandfather Lu Lankun. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him. He saw that everyone had a calm expression and no dissatisfaction. Some even nodded in agreement with Lu Mingyi's words.
After a busy morning, the Lu family set out again towards the wilderness next to Linwu County. There was no other way, as Linwu County did not allow refugees to pass through, so Lu Zifeng and his great-grandfather Lu Lanchen discussed and decided to take a detour. Anyway, they could not stay in Linwu County.
Lu Zifeng always felt that if he didn't leave, it would be even more dangerous to stay here. If you asked him why he had this feeling, he couldn't say for sure. Anyway, he just had to leave quickly. Lu Zifeng also urged his tribesmen to hurry up and rest as little as possible.
After two days of continuous travel, they had now entered the capital of Kunzhou Prefecture. There were even more refugees here. When they were still more than ten miles away from Kunzhou Prefecture, they saw refugees everywhere sitting in groups of three or two in the dry groves.
Everyone looked at the Lu family's convoy filled with supplies with shining eyes. Lu Zifeng took a look and immediately found his great-grandfather Lu Lanchen.
"Grandpa, please stop the team for now. I think we need to turn around and go in another direction as soon as possible. We can't go any further."
Lu Lanchen had also discovered at this time that they had now entered the innermost part of the disaster-stricken area. After hearing Lu Zifeng's words, he quickly called for a stop, but it was already too late. Some disaster victims had already surrounded the Lu family's convoy.
Lu Zifeng knew that blood would be shed today, so he shouted, "Hurry up and grab your weapons! These people are trying to steal our food. Don't hold back."
In fact, at this time, the people of the Lu family had already discovered something was wrong. They had already grasped their weapons. Seeing that the victims were still rushing forward regardless of anything, they knew that they would not be able to escape without bloodshed, so they used their killing moves directly. The scene became a little chaotic in an instant. Lu Zifeng no longer held back at this time, and his moves were swift, fierce and accurate, continuously harvesting lives.
