The space belongs to the pond fish, and the chickens, ducks, and fish were all raised later. As long as the pond fish are willing, catching chickens, ducks, or fish is relatively easy.
This is much more convenient than her having to do everything herself to collect river snails in the space.
Thinking of the river in the space now, Chi Yu realized that it was indeed difficult for anyone other than her to catch fish.
She immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
The number of fish, chickens, and ducks she raises in the space will increase as the space is upgraded.
The number of fish in the river is now quite considerable.
When Ah Kang and the others get married, she'll have to pretend to go to the lake near Tiger Leaping Cliff.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to explain why she brought out so many fish all at once.
At that time, Song Chongjin, who was also preparing to go to Beishan to collect snails after being pestered by his wife and niece, saw Chi Dongyi and two elderly people of similar age coming towards him before he even reached the riverbank.
Upon seeing the person, he handed the wooden bucket, which he had gone to great lengths to borrow, to his wife.
Having witnessed yesterday's events, Su Yu now knew the identity of the old man across the river, and could only lead her niece and son away along the river.
Because Song Chongjin wanted to settle everyone down here, even though he was the person in charge of the group and had the title of Xiucai (a scholar who passed the imperial examinations), he still greeted Chi Dongyi with great courtesy.
"Clan Chief Chi, may I ask what brings you here at this hour?"
Because of her family's experiences, Song Chongjin is considered a shrewd and perceptive person.
He is thoughtful, has high emotional intelligence, is good at handling affairs, and is tactful and worldly in his dealings with others.
However, after spending most of the day there, he had already learned that the village here was called Chijia'ao.
The village has a population of just over three hundred but less than four hundred, and the people here make a living by hunting.
After learning about the enemy's fighting strength and that there was a very skilled doctor in their village, he was extremely grateful that he hadn't committed the heinous act of massacring the village yesterday.
Otherwise, he estimated that their group of over eight hundred people wouldn't be enough to defeat the enemy.
After all, the village is mostly populated by adult men, with the elderly making up the minority, and each of them could easily take on two or three of them.
Furthermore, hunters might also have some medical knowledge.
His drug that puts people into a deep sleep might be so potent that someone might notice something amiss as soon as it's lit.
Chi Dong and his group were old and experienced, but he and the other two elders truly did not know that Song Chongjin had once considered massacring the village.
Fortunately, they had agreed to let people stay in Beishan temporarily, which saved them from disaster.
They've come here now because of marriage arrangements for the young people in the clan.
They've come to discuss cooperation.
Since we're discussing cooperation, we need to be proper in our attitude. We can't treat people like refugees; we have to put them on the same level.
Sure enough, Chi Dongyi replied with a gentle expression, "Scholar Song, this old man has come here now because I have something I want to ask you."
Well, or rather, I'd like to ask for your opinion.
Song Chongjin was somewhat confused, unsure of the other party's meaning. Given that they currently had nowhere to stay, he said:
"Should we find somewhere to talk?"
Seeing that his complexion was normal, without any sign of illness, and considering that no one in the village had reported feeling unwell since their contact yesterday, Chi Dong replied:
"If it's convenient for you, Scholar Song, let's find a secluded place to talk."
Song Chongjin nodded: "I'm not very familiar with this place, so I'll go with the flow. Where do you think would be suitable?"
His words were extremely comforting to Chi Dongyi and the two clan elders.
After all, he called himself a guest. That meant he had no intention of occupying Beishan.
The fact that they said they would go to a meeting to discuss matters with them implies that they were not being arrogant because of their numbers, but rather showing respect for the people of Chijia'ao.
