Lin Jiuyue wanted to say yes, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do so in order to avoid Ji Liangchuan's suspicion.
"No, I thought you would want to eat separately."
Ji Liangchuan said lightly.
"If you buy more seasonings, the food you cook will taste better."
Lin Jiuyue was stunned.
I bought quite a lot of seasonings last time I was in town.
"Well, let's eat together. It will save us some trouble."
Anyway, Ji Liangchuan is alone, so he can just cook more when he cooks.
Moreover, I also want to see Ji Liangchuan's true face. Wouldn't it be less of a chance to see Ji Liangchuan's true face if I eat separately?
Ji Liangchuan cooked some porridge, mixed it with some wild vegetables he had dug up in the mountains, and also fried some tiger meat.
In this way, both vegetables and meat are available.
What Lin Jiuyue and the other two ate was already the best in the entire team.
The villagers who fled together also ate porridge. However, the wealthier families cooked some porridge with wild vegetables, while those who had no food only ate wild vegetables, without even a trace of rice.
But even so, everyone was very satisfied with the meal.
After breakfast, the village chief came over.
"Jiuyue girl, Ji family boy, I see there are quite a lot of wild vegetables around here, and there is also a water source. Everyone is asking if we can stay here for a few more days so we can dig up more wild vegetables for the journey."
Lin Jiuyue frowned after hearing this.
"Village chief, I know everyone is starving, but we can't stay here for too long. If we stay for too long, the refugees taking the official road will reach their destination before us. Even if we reach our destination, the good places will probably be taken by others, and the only ones left for us will be those remote places."
After hearing Lin Jiuyue's words, the village chief also frowned.
How could he not know what Lin Jiuyue said? However, among the people who came with him, two families were almost unable to make ends meet. If they hadn't found a lot of wild vegetables in the past few days and shared some meat, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
"Jiuyue girl, I know this is a bit difficult, but look at them, they are all pale and thin. If they continue to starve like this, they will probably die before they reach their destination..."
Lin Jiuyue looked in the direction of the village chief's finger. All the villagers he saw were pale and thin, looking malnourished.
But now we are all fleeing from famine, and everyone is a victim of the disaster. No one is better off than anyone else.
After thinking it over again and again, Lin Jiuyue turned his gaze to Ji Liangchuan.
"Ji Liangchuan, what do you think?"
Ji Liangchuan sat aside, holding a wooden stick in his hand, and was slowly sharpening one end of the stick with a knife.
It can be seen that Ji Liangchuan wants to make a simple weapon.
"It wouldn't hurt to stay a day or two, as long as you don't stay too long."
After hearing this, the village chief narrowed his eyes with joy.
Two days is enough time for everyone to dig up a lot of wild vegetables. Besides, the sun is so strong now that they can be dried in one day. They are not heavy and can be preserved for a long time.
"Hey, I'll go and inform them right away and ask them to hurry up and dig up wild vegetables in the next two days."
The village chief left happily, leaving only Lin Jiuyue and Ji Liangchuan.
Seeing Ji Liangchuan was cutting something, Lin Jiuyue seized the opportunity and grabbed Ji Liangchuan's face.
Ji Liangchuan had been on guard against Lin Jiuyue for a long time, so how could he let Lin Jiuyue succeed?
"I knew you hadn't given up yet."
Lin Jiuyue curled her lips.
"Isn't that an ugly face beneath that mask? Why are you afraid to even see people?"
Ji Liangchuan's mouth twitched.
Although her face was not unparalleled, it had caused the noble ladies in the capital to scream in amazement.
I didn't expect that in this girl's mouth, I would become an "ugly monster".
"You're so interested in ugly things?"
Lin Jiuyue hugged her arms.
"Aren't I curious too?"
Ji Liangchuan ignored Lin Jiuyue and continued to cut his own things.
"Ji Liangchuan, don't you have a weapon? Why are you still cutting this thing?"
"It's always good to have more weapons just in case."
Lin Jiuyue curled her lips.
It’s almost the same as having a dagger in your hand. If you really encounter any danger, hiding in space is more reliable than any weapon.
Just as Lin Jiuyue was about to leave, Ji Liangchuan's wooden weapons were already ready.
"Here."
Lin Jiuyue raised her finger and pointed at her nose.
"Is this for me?"
"Um."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
"Although this thing is not as good as other weapons, it should be useful to you."
"You're very strong."
Lin Jiuyue didn't bother to be polite with Ji Liangchuan and took it directly. He played with it in his hand for a while.
It’s true, this thing can be used to support the body when you are tired from traveling. If necessary, it can also be used as a weapon. You just have to be careful with the sharpened end to avoid accidentally hurting yourself.
"Thank you very much."
Taking the wooden weapons made by Ji Liangchuan, Lin Jiuyue went into the mountains.
There are not many people in my family, and the wild vegetables we have dug are almost enough, which can last for several days. I will leave those wild vegetables for other villagers to dig.
I should go look around to see if there is anything else edible, which would be nice to change the taste in the future.
After taking a few steps, Lin Qiye followed like a follower, followed by Ji Liangchuan.
"Sister, where are you going? I'll go with you."
Lin Jiuyue looked at the two people behind him.
"Go see if you can find something to eat."
When Lin Qiye heard this, he immediately broke into a big smile.
"It's just right. Brother Ji is taking me hunting. Let's go together."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Ji Liangchuan with suspicion.
When he gave me the weapon just now, he didn't even mention going hunting. How long ago did it become? He was actually going hunting? And he wanted to bring his younger brother with him?
Could it be that Ji Liangchuan was deliberately looking for an excuse to follow him? Was he trying to spy on him?
"OK."
Ji Liangchuan naturally saw Lin Jiuyue's eyes, but he didn't say a word.
The three of them headed deeper into the woods. Lin Qiye was the only one chattering along the way. Ji Liangchuan and Lin Jiuyue remained silent.
Clearly, when the villagers hadn't bothered to come, both of them were fine. Why were they so strange now? Could something have happened to them without his knowledge?
Even the carefree Lin Qiye noticed something was amiss between her sister and Ji Liangchuan, so she cautiously approached Lin Jiuyue.
"Sister, what's wrong? Did you two have a fight?"
Lin Qiye lowered his voice and turned his head to look at Ji Liangchuan after he finished speaking.
Lin Jiuyue shook her head and spoke in the same low voice.
"It's okay. Don't think too much about it."
