Crossing the famine: The hunter's wife has good farmland

"Oh, our captain said that he would take us into the mountains to dig for some cordyceps. He said that thing is very valuable. If we can dig it up, we can ask the goddess to help sell it, and our military budget will increase!"

The corners of Fu Cang's mouth twitched.

This Xiao Tu was really a worrier. He even worried about their military expenses. He didn't know whether he should praise him or not. After all, taking so many soldiers out to dig Cordyceps in the middle of the night in such a cold weather, it didn't sound reliable at first glance.

Fu Cang climbed over a mountain, walked forward for more than an hour, and finally arrived at his location.

Xiao Tu had already pitched a tent in the valley and lit many torches. Fu Cang could see them from a distance.

Seeing the large army finally arrived, Xiao Tu finally perked up, walked up to Fu Cang and said excitedly: "Chief, why did you come here in person? You are not needed for such a small matter.

I just don't have enough soldiers to rescue these people, otherwise I would have done it myself and would never have troubled you!"

Fu Cang patted Xiao Tu's shoulder.

"Are you afraid that I will come and steal your credit? Who are those people trapped at the bottom of the pit? Are they our enemies?!"

"That's impossible. These people are similar to those in the Baicha tribe. They all fled from far away. They originally planned to find a valley sheltered from the wind to camp for the winter, but they didn't expect that the snow a while ago was so heavy that it covered the original road.

This big pit was covered with snow before and looked like a flat ground. These people fell into the pit accidentally. The people above tried to rescue those below, but they also slipped down.

If my people hadn't found them, they would have been frozen to death that night."

Fu Cang had followed Xiao Tu to the edge of the big pit. Looking inside, they saw it was densely packed with people.

Moreover, the pit was big enough. After the top layer of snow was trampled down by these people, its true dark appearance was revealed. It stretched very far and there was no end in sight.

Those people at the bottom of the pit hugged each other to keep warm. Xiao Tu also threw down a lot of branches to them. They lit a bonfire in the middle, and for a while these people were not frozen to death.

A sturdy middle-aged man stood up at the bottom of the pit and said to Fu Cang, "Is this the leader of the Yueluo tribe? Please rescue all my people. After we get up, we will definitely work like slaves to repay you!"

Fu Cang waved at him.

"I will save you, but before I save you, I need to ask you a few questions."

"Just ask!"

"What tribe were you from before?"

"We were not named after the tribe before. We are the Cangyue tribe. There are more than 200 people in the tribe, all of whom are skilled craftsmen. We have carpenters, blacksmiths, sewing experts and fishing experts.

But we suffered heavy casualties along the way, and now there are only about 70 of us left. Chief, don't worry, as long as you rescue us, we will give up the name of the Cangyue tribe and spend the rest of our lives repaying the chief for saving our lives!"

Fu Cang looked at Xiao Tu in surprise and saw a proud expression on his face.

"You're so good! You really found a treasure!"

Xiao Tu lowered his voice and said, "I knew these people would be of great use to our tribe. If these skilled craftsmen could be recruited into our military camp, Hu Mu would be very happy."

Fu Cang patted Xiao Tu's shoulder hard.

"Okay, I'll give you a big credit!"

Fu Cang raised his voice and said to the people of the Cangyue tribe: "No problem, I will organize people to rescue you right away, you should keep warm first."

Inside Fu Cang's treasure bag was the rope that Mo Xiaonian had given him before.

This kind of rope is extremely strong. By fixing it in a solid place, it is easy to pull these people up.

But the pit is very deep and this section of rope is not long enough.

Fu Cang could only tie the rope around his waist and use himself as a fixing point to fix the rope. He asked the people below to reach the rope by stacking them up, and then the soldiers he brought worked together to pull the people at the bottom of the pit up.

The person in charge of the Cangyue tribe is called Canglu, and he has a very high prestige in the tribe.

He arranged for the people below to send up the only six remaining children in the tribe first, then the ten women, and finally the men took turns going up, until finally, Cang Lu had sent everyone up, day had begun to dawn in the east, and he was the only one left at the bottom of the pit.

This is a bit difficult.

The people before him all climbed up by stepping on the heron's shoulders, but here he had nothing to leverage on. He was still quite a distance away from the rope, and could not climb up the rope by his own strength.

"Wait a moment, I'll find something to stand on."

Fu Cang responded, thought about it, and pushed himself to the edge of the pit, letting the soldiers hold his feet so that the rope could be extended further down. Cang Lu raised himself up a little, and then he should be able to reach the rope by running.

After a while, the heron rolled over a large rock, took a running start and stared at the top of the rock, then jumped up with all its strength and actually reached the rope.

Half of Fu Cang's body was already outside the pit. He saw Canglu's movements clearly and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This uncle is very skilled in martial arts, and you can tell at first glance that he is a martial artist.

With everyone working together, they finally dragged the heron up, and all the members of the Cang Yue tribe were out of danger.

The first thing Cang Lu did when he came up was to lead all the tribesmen to kowtow and thank Fu Cang.

Fu Cang was also suffering. The rope had turned his waist purple, but he still hurriedly pulled Canglu up.

"No need to be like this. Come with me back to our tribe and have some hot soup. I think these kids are so cold that they can't even speak."

Cang Lu also knew that some of his tribesmen were in extremely urgent situations, so he kowtowed three times to Fu Cang in a hurry.

"I will never forget your kindness in saving my life. Please take us in. As long as you can save our children, from now on, I will bring my people and serve you wholeheartedly."

"Okay, let's go back first."

By the time they arrived at the Moonfall Tribe, the sky was already bright and the tribe was bustling with people coming and going.

The people who got up early looked at these people from the Cang Yue tribe with great curiosity, and these people from the Cang Yue tribe were also looking at the Yue Luo tribe.

They didn't expect the tribe to be so big and so good.

Fu Cang arranged these people into the tents where the Baicha tribe had previously stayed temporarily.
