"Thank you, but no thanks, we can just eat wild vegetables."

Chu Changfeng was very calm. He couldn't trust anyone now.

Who knows if these people are pretending?

"Take it. There are so many of you, and so many children. Even if the adults don't want to eat, the children will have to eat too. Otherwise, how will you have the strength to walk?"

The man who delivered the meat was a grandfather in his fifties. The way he spoke was just like the other grandfathers in their village, making people unconsciously let down their guard.

"Really, there's no need. There are so many of you and you need to eat. It's not easy to get the meat. We really can't take it." Chu Changfeng still refused.

The old man had no choice but to leave with the meat.

They gathered on the other side of the ruined temple, lit a fire, and began to stew the meat.

Soon, the aroma of meat wafted out. Although the taste was far inferior to the dishes cooked by Shen Zhi, everyone had not eaten meat for a long time, and they felt a little greedy when they smelled it.

So delicious!

"Cuckoo-"

Everyone's stomach started to growl.

Shen Zhi washed the wild vegetables picked on the road, added spiritual spring water and cooked them on firewood.

Perhaps because they drank the spiritual spring water every day, everyone had the energy to travel every day and no one fell ill.

The adults would hug the children from time to time on the way. If they were just eating some wild vegetables, they would have probably fallen down long ago.

"Come and eat something."

Shen Zhi shared a bowl of wild vegetable soup with everyone.

Everyone ate in silence, taking small bites.

The group of refugees also began to gnaw on the meat.

They did not wolf down the meat, but ate it rather politely.

Chu Changfeng observed quietly and saw that these people seemed to always get to eat meat.

They have been fleeing all the way and yet they can still eat meat. This group of people is not simple.

Very simple.

He couldn't take it lightly.

After staying in the dilapidated temple for one night, it started raining the next day.

There was no way to continue the journey, so everyone stayed in the dilapidated temple to rest for a day.

Before lunch time, two of the stronger men approached Chu Changfeng.

"Brother, we are going to the mountains to hunt. Do you want to come with us? If we kill prey, you will have meat to eat."

They seem friendly and genuine.

Chu Changfeng naturally wanted everyone to eat some meat, as they hadn't eaten it for several days.

But now he has a genuine disgust and fear towards refugees.

"Forget it. I won't hold you back. I don't know how to hunt."

"Really not going? None of you know how to go? As long as you are strong enough, you can hunt with us."

Chu Changfeng pursed his lips, and at this time Chu Xiao walked over.

"Changfeng, how about you stay here and I'll go join them in the fun?"

"Can……"

Chu Xiao: "It's okay, I'll be back soon. Eating wild vegetables every day is not a big deal."

Although Chu Changfeng still didn't want him to go, he insisted, and considering everyone, he agreed.

"Dad, be careful on the road. If there is no prey, come back quickly. It doesn't matter if we don't eat it."

"to make."

After just discussing it, Grandpa Lin and the others came over, "Why don't you take us with you? We want to help too."

Chu Changfeng shook his head directly, "No, we have to stay and guard it. If the men leave, what should we do if something goes wrong?"

Everyone pursed their lips and didn't mention it again.

The rain outside turned into a drizzle, and Chu Xiao followed the two men out.

Chu Changfeng didn't dare to let his guard down and kept staring at the group of people opposite him from time to time.

They sat for a while, then each found a corner to sleep.

He doesn't look like a bad guy at all.

With nothing to do, Chu Changfeng took Shen Zhi and the children to rest in a corner.

They have to travel all day every day, and it has been a long time since they had a good rest like today.

Take this opportunity to rest up and then continue your journey.

They have already entered the Northern Territory. It will only take them about ten days to reach Beiyang County, which is also their destination.

They had been traveling for nearly two months, and they didn't know how long the ten-day journey would take.

"Daddy, will we be safe once we get there?"

Chu Jinnian held the small bag containing her brother in her arms, nestled in Chu Changfeng's arms, and asked in a low voice.

Chu Changfeng patted his head and said, "Well, we will be safe once we get there."

Chu Jinnian rubbed his arm, "Dad... then... when we get there, we must take brother with us and not bury him."

Chu Changfeng was suddenly stunned, and tears welled up in the eyes of Shen Zhi and Mu Mu beside him.

Chu Jinnian tried hard to hold the small bag tightly.

"Brother doesn't want to be alone, he wants us to always be with him." He murmured softly.

Shen Zhi stroked the small bag and said, "Let's talk about it when the time comes, okay? Now, Nian Nian and Mu Mu have to protect our brother well."

"Ok!"

"We won't let our brother be taken away by bad guys again!"

After more than an hour, Chu Xiao and the two men came back.

They had a good harvest.

Chu Xiao hunted four wild rabbits, while the other two caught a pheasant and two wild rabbits respectively.

They didn't expect Chu Xiao to be so powerful!

Now that we have meat, we can eat it openly.

As soon as they came back, Grandpa Lin and Uncle Zhang were responsible for dealing with the wild rabbits.

Clean the hare and chop it into small pieces.

After cutting, put all the rabbit into the pan and stir-fry.

Fortunately, they still had two gourds of oil left.

The hare meat was stir-fried in the pan and soon the aroma of the meat spread out.

Since there was no condition to add onions, ginger and garlic, Shen Zhi just added chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fried them.

When the rabbit meat is slightly browned, add seasonings and continue stir-frying evenly before serving.

Thinking about the group of people who sent them meat yesterday, no matter whether it was sincere or fake, at least they had to return the favor.

Shen Zhi scooped a bowl of rabbit meat and asked Chu Changfeng to bring it over.

That group of people had already been craving for the aroma, so how could they refuse?

They shared a bowl of rabbit meat and loved it!

Everyone was sticking out their tongues because of the spiciness. Although the spiciness was overbearing, the whole body felt warm after eating it.

They were shocked. "What is this? Why is it so stinging on the tongue?"

Chu Changfeng: "It's a kind of seasoning, picked from the mountains, but the quantity is very small, we are lucky."

After he said that, no one asked any more questions.

Each person got a small bowl of rabbit meat, which they ate with wild vegetables. It was rare to find the food so delicious.

But the more delicious the food tasted, the more uncomfortable the Chu family felt. They stared at the small bundle.

If Zhou Zhou were still here, he would definitely like it too.

He used to like eating rabbit meat very much.

Shen Zhi touched the small bag, sighed, then cheered up and continued eating.

But while eating, she always felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her.

But she looked around and didn't find anything wrong.
