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

Chapter 28: A little kindness, a little hatred

Mo Xiaonian found the back of a big tree where no one was. There happened to be a big pit there, which should have been dug by the people in the tribe when they were looking for food.

Mo Xiaonian sneakily took out a bag of flour from the space, which just happened to be placed in the big pit. After doing all this, Mo Xiaonian shouted behind the tree.

“Fu Cang! Brother Fu Cang! Come here quickly!”

Fu Cang was discussing with Shitoubai, Liandao and others in the open space on the top of the mountain about fishing out some useful tools from the water, when he heard Mo Xiaonian's soft and tender cries.

Shi Tou suddenly laughed.

"Brother Fucang, go and take a look, the little white rabbit is calling you!"

Fu Cang's brows were twisted into a shape of a "川" (river).

"Little white rabbit? What kind of a name is that?"

"We gave Mo Xiaonian a nickname. Look at her, she's so white and soft, doesn't she look like a little white rabbit that just came out of its nest? When we go hunting, we don't even want to kill that little white rabbit. They're just too cute!"

"Shut up! If I hear anyone call Mo Xiaonian like this again, I will never forgive him!"

Fu Cang said this and turned and left.

Stone quietly stuck out his tongue.

"It's over, Fu Cang is really into that little girl, even this nickname won't work!"

Baiji patted Shitou's head.

"You better be more careful next time and don't say anything you shouldn't. If Fu Cang really gets angry, no one of us can stop him!"

Fu Cang has already walked in front of Mo Xiaonian.

He was really angry just now.

He didn't want anyone to talk about Mo Xiaonian behind his back, not even his good brother.

But when he saw Mo Xiaonian, all his anger disappeared.

Mo Xiaonian stared at him with her big round eyes, looking at him excitedly. She didn't look like a harmless little white rabbit at all, but rather like a cunning civet cat, smart and cute.

"Brother Fu Cang, come and see what I found!"

A smile unconsciously appeared on Fu Cang's cold face.

"What did you find?"

"Come and see!"

Mo Xiaonian grabbed Fu Cang's hand and led him behind the big tree.

There was a big bag of white powdery substance in the big pit behind the tree, which looked particularly strange.

"This is?"

"This is flour! Brother Fucang, do you know what flour is? There is a lot of this stuff in Wangyou City. It can be used to steam buns, make pancakes, and make noodles or soup. It is simply the best staple food. Brother Fucang, now that we have this stuff, we won't have to worry about food in the tribe!"

Fu Cang squatted on the ground, carefully picked up a handful of flour and looked at it in his palm, then licked it with his tongue. After a while, he showed a surprised expression.

"It's really flour! How did you find this?"

"I dug it out! I was originally looking for some of those wild potatoes you brought back yesterday, but I didn't expect to dig out this thing. I thought it must be buried here by some wealthy family to be used in a critical moment, but I didn't expect it to be a bargain for us.

Brother Fucang, I don't think the two of us can eat so much flour. How about we make a big pot of rice and cook the flour into dumpling soup. Everyone in the tribe can come and have a bowl. This thing tastes much better than the one cooked with the leaves of the fairy tree, and we won't have to worry about starving to death! Do you think my idea is feasible?"

Fu Cang looked at Mo Xiaonian with a complicated expression.

What can I say about this little girl? She always does things that surprise him.

And wasn’t this the big hole he dug yesterday? He dug out his two wild potatoes from here, but why didn’t he see such obvious flour?

Who would be so stupid as to bury the food in the ground? Wouldn’t the heavy rain a few days ago have soaked it all?

However, although there are many doubts here, these things are indeed real food. Needless to say, everyone understands how precious they are. Mo Xiaonian is so kind to have the thought of taking out these foods for everyone to eat.

Fu Cang looked at Mo Xiaonian several more times, and he felt that the more he looked at this little girl, the more he liked her.

If she were to become my wife, it would be a really good choice!

Mo Xiaonian was startled by the heat in Fu Cang's eyes and suddenly slapped her forehead.

"I thought of Fu Cang. We can't give them these things for free. We must ask them to exchange them for something. You must know the principle that a little kindness will be rewarded with a little resentment. We can't give things for free."

"A little kindness, a little hatred? What does this mean?"

Mo Xiaonian looked at Fu Cang's clear eyes and felt that she might have corrupted a person who was as transparent as glass.

Mo Xiaonian explained to Fu Cang the principle of "a little kindness can lead to a great resentment", and Fu Cang nodded in agreement.

"You're so right! I know what to do now!"

Fu Cang took the bag of flour out of the pit and put it on his back, then pulled Mo Xiaonian's hand and walked back.

Yuelu is also worried about food.

There is basically nothing to eat today.

If this continues, the tribe will be in chaos. No matter how good Fu Cang is at fighting, he won't be able to control so many people at once. By that time, even if they don't starve to death, they will suffer a lot from internal strife.

Yue Lu was about to pull her braids off, when Fu Cang and Mo Xiaonian came in with a big bag of things.

"Fu Cang, I was just looking for you. Tell me, we can't even find any food on this mountain top... What is this?"

Yuelu looked in surprise at the big bag of white stuff that Fu Cang put in front of him, blinked, and seemed unable to say the next words.

"Great Elder, aren't you worried about food? This is a whole bag of flour that Xiao Nian found. With this flour, everyone in our tribe will have a way to survive!"

"Flour? Oh my Moon God! Where did you find such precious food, Xiao Nian?"

"I went out to look for food and dug this out from the ground. Fu Cang and I have already checked it out. This is really flour, and it's a particularly good kind!"

Yuelu's hands began to tremble with excitement.

This is the hope for their tribe’s survival.

"That's great, that's great, Xiao Nian, I was right, you are really the lucky star of our tribe! Since you found this, it should be yours. Can you agree to give some to help the villagers?"

Fu Cang felt that the time was about right, so he told Yue Lu the saying "A little kindness can bring about a great resentment", and explained the reason behind it to her.
