The men from other villages had already formed teams and gone hunting in the surrounding areas.
If they don't take any action, their village will starve to death sooner or later.
Therefore, Zheng Xinghai went to Nanzhi to see if she could do anything.
“Village Chief, I was just about to tell you about this.” Nanzhi told him about her discovery of the lotus root.
