Thinking of this, the village chief started to think about it.
I am old, and this is how my life will be. My children and grandchildren don't seem to have much potential. Now I am fleeing the famine with these two children, taking the opportunity to get closer to them. Maybe when they become rich in the future, they can take care of my unpromising children and grandchildren.
"Jiuyue girl, Ji family boy, the two of you should stop being polite to each other. If you ask me, you both have made great contributions. This big insect should be divided equally."
As soon as the village chief spoke, the surrounding villagers echoed him.
"Yes, yes, you two split it equally..."
Of course, there were some people who wanted to eat meat, but they held back and didn’t say that they wanted to eat meat.
Lin Jiuyue and Ji Liangchuan didn't expect that the villagers would not even mention giving them any meat.
In the past, if anyone in the village hunted a large prey, they would give some of the meat to the villagers as a token of appreciation.
Now that I’m here, I don’t want to be different.
Lin Jiuyue looked at Ji Liangchuan, and Ji Liangchuan seemed to have guessed what Lin Jiuyue meant.
"This bug is so big, we can't eat it all. Everyone, please help us. Then every family will have a share."
After hearing this, the villagers felt a little embarrassed, but none of them refused.
This is meat!
Who can refuse the meat in this situation?
"Oh, okay."
"Haha, Jiuyue girl, Ji family boy, you are so polite. We haven't helped at all, and you want to take some of the meat for free. How embarrassing."
There were many polite words, but everyone was also actively helping, hoping to get some meat later so that they could have some meat for themselves.
Ji Liangchuan led the men to start skinning the tiger. After they finished skinning, everyone remembered that there was no water source nearby.
There is quite a bit of water in Lin Jiuyue’s space, but it cannot be used at this moment.
"How can we wash without water?"
"Exactly. How about we not wash it? Just eat it like this?"
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Ji Liangchuan put down the dagger in his hand.
"Don't worry, everyone. I've explored the road ahead and know there's a stream ahead. Although there's not much water, it's enough."
After hearing Ji Liangchuan's words, the villagers felt relieved.
Along the way, everyone was even worried about drinking water. They didn't dare to waste even a drop, for fear that the water would run out and they would have nothing to drink.
"Ji family boy, are you telling the truth?"
A villager with chapped lips excitedly shook Ji Liangchuan's hand.
In all these years, except for being with Lin Jiuyue, Ji Liangchuan had never been so 'intimate' with someone holding his hand, and for a moment he was really a little uncomfortable.
The villager who was holding Ji Liangchuan's hand seemed to feel Ji Liangchuan's disgust and let go of his hand in disappointment.
"Well, I'm too excited. My family ran out of water a day ago, and we haven't had any water to drink all day. If we run out of water again, we probably won't be able to hold on any longer."
When Ji Liangchuan heard this, he just said "hmm".
"Village Chief, there's a strong smell of blood here. Let's pack up our things and leave quickly."
The village chief looked at the place where he had just killed the tiger, and saw that the ground was scarlet.
The smell of blood will soon attract other carnivores. If you don't leave quickly, when those animals come, there will probably be another big battle.
"Everyone go back and pack up and leave immediately. Let's follow the Ji family kid to find a water source."
Upon hearing that there was a water source, the villagers no longer cared about the wild vegetables here, and they packed up their things and prepared to set off.
Where there is water, there must be wild vegetables.
Besides, with so many people digging wild vegetables together, even if there are a lot of wild vegetables here, they cannot withstand so many people digging together. Even if there are some left, there will not be much.
When they first arrived, there were only Lin Jiuyue and three other people. Now there are so many more villagers, and everyone set out together. It seems that they have the same feeling of fleeing famine as before.
Ji Liangchuan had already walked the road ahead, so there was no need to bother clearing the way, and the speed was much faster than before.
Not long after, the team arrived at the place Ji Liangchuan mentioned.
The villagers were so excited when they saw the water source that they took out their own water containers and filled them up.
Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue followed the women in the team to find food to fill their stomachs. Ji Liangchuan took Lin Qiye to cut up the tiger meat.
The team brought by the village chief consisted of eleven farmers, including the village chief's family, totaling sixty-eight people.
Each person got one pound of meat, for a total of sixty-eight pounds.
Excluding bones and internal organs, there are a total of 308 kilograms of tiger meat.
After distributing sixty-eight kilograms, there were still two hundred and forty kilograms left.
In private, he brought another six kilograms to the village chief, and the rest was divided equally between Lin Jiuyue and Ji Liangchuan.
The villagers looked at Lin Jiuyue and Ji Liangchuan, each of whom had more than 100 pounds of meat. Although they were a little jealous, they were all very tactful and did not say anything.
Each person gets a pound of tiger meat for free. If they don't know what's good for them, not only Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue, but even the village chief will not agree.
"It's a good decision for us to follow the village chief and walk the mountain road this time. If we had taken the official road, we wouldn't be able to find any meat or even wild vegetables."
"Isn't it? If you ask me, walking on the mountain road is really good. Not only can we get some vegetables, but we can also eat some meat. It's much better than taking the official road."
"Come on, if it weren't for Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue, that big bug would have killed or injured at least half of our team, and they'd still eat our meat."
"Wealth and honor are achieved through risk. Look at how much meat Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue got this time. We only got one pound each."
A mean-looking woman said sourly.
There were five people in my family. They were given five kilograms of meat in total. Although five kilograms of meat was not a small amount, it was far less than what Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue had.
"Aunt Wang, if you think five pounds of meat is too little, you can tell Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue. Maybe they will relent and give you some more."
How could a woman called Aunt Wang dare to act presumptuously in front of Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue? She only dared to talk nonsense in front of these people.
Are you kidding me? Are Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue that easy to mess with? Didn't you see they can even kill a giant insect? You're messing with them? Are you afraid your life isn't long enough or something?
"Haha, wasn't that just something I said casually?"
"Just a casual remark? What you said casually is really offensive. If it weren't for Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue, you wouldn't even have one pound, let alone five pounds of meat."
"That's right. You've lived in the village for so many years. Have you ever eaten tiger meat? How precious is tiger meat? If they can share a pound with us, we should be grateful. Don't be ungrateful and let them feel disappointed. If they don't care about us, you will clear the way for us or something like that."
