In Mingyue Temple, aunts and sisters-in-law from each household worked together to clean the temple inside and out.

Village Chief Lin was very satisfied with the newly renovated Mingyue Temple. He stood in the courtyard and shouted to the villagers of Linjia Village, "Each family should send someone to build a temporary kitchen. We can all live together, but we should still eat separately."

"I understand, Village Chief," the villagers responded in unison after hearing what Village Chief Lin said. A man came out from each family, and everyone set up a temporary stove in the yard.

Mingyue Temple can barely be considered a two-courtyard temple. The first courtyard houses the kitchen, the Taoist temple hall, and two guest bedrooms. The second courtyard has five rooms, and there is a backyard with a vegetable garden.

The fifty-eight wounded were placed in the hall of the Taoist temple, where the temple's founder was enshrined. The room was very spacious and although crowded, it was big enough for all the wounded to lie down.

Because a temporary stove was set up in the yard, the kitchen and dining area were left empty, and Village Chief Lin accommodated eight families in it.

The other two guest bedrooms were used by four families with smaller populations. In the five rooms of the second courtyard, three families with smaller populations lived in one room, while one or two families with larger populations lived in one room.

The Lin family occupied just one house. The Lin family's main and second branches, as well as the Liu family, had a total of more than 30 people, so it was already very crowded to live in one house.

The others also knew that the Lin family was large, so no one was jealous of them living in the same house.

After settling down, each household began to prepare dinner. The sky gradually darkened. Due to the lack of water, everyone just used the water they brought back to clean the wounds of the wounded and boil medicine for them to drink.

So, everyone's dinner was still scones, and although they were just scones, no one complained.

Liu Jiali arranged for Lin Qingxue to sit on the ground covered with a quilt to rest. Except for a few young and old people and Liu Er's pregnant wife, almost everyone in the Lin family had work to do.

"Qingxue, you're lucky. Take your three brothers and your uncle to the area tonight to see if we can catch any prey. That way, we can provide some nourishment for you and the injured."

Old man Lin looked outside gloomily. He had just visited the injured villagers. Their wounds were severely filled with pus and he didn't know if they could survive.

Therefore, otherwise he would not have said this with such a smug face. His own granddaughter was also injured, and she was injured while saving him and his wife. How could he not feel distressed?

"I understand, Grandpa. I will go out with my uncle and the others to look for them in the evening." Lin Qingxue was not stupid. She knew that her grandfather must be feeling very uncomfortable when he said this, but it also showed that the injured villagers in Linjia Village were really in trouble.

Mrs. Lin opened her mouth to say something, but thinking of the villagers, she stopped. Whose children are not children? The injured villagers were injured to protect everyone.

Old Man Lin nodded and said nothing more. The others were listening to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and it was even more difficult to say anything.

While eating the flatbread, Lin Qingxue began to think about what to take out of the space at night. She must take the pheasant, and then take a twenty-year-old ginseng to make chicken soup, and that would be enough.

Of course, this is for the villagers. As for what our family can eat, it is definitely not enough. We have to take pheasants and rabbits, pick some wild vegetables, and take out some cucumbers and eggs. We will give the cucumbers to everyone as snacks, and the eggs to the children.

After thinking it through, Lin Qingxue concentrated on eating the pancakes. After she finished, she pulled Uncle Lin and her three brothers out of Mingyue Temple, each carrying a basket.

Looking at the backs of Lin Qingxue and the other four, the villagers were all moved to tears of gratitude. The conversation between Lin Qingxue and his grandson was heard by the villagers living in the backyard, and the news spread from one person to ten, and then to a hundred, and finally everyone knew about it.

Regardless of whether they gained anything or not, everyone was grateful to Old Man Lin and his family. They were able to stand up and help everyone at this time. Who among the villagers would dare to say anything?

Lin Qingxue and the other four walked for half an hour, searching the entire mountain, but they didn't see a single pheasant or rabbit. The grass and other plants on the mountain were all withered and yellow, and even near the water source, there was no green at all.

Therefore, Lin Qingxue took Uncle Lin and the others directly into the space. If they didn't take the pheasants and rabbits from the space, everyone would have to return empty-handed.

"Uncle, you and your brothers should go over there and catch some pheasants and rabbits! After you catch them, go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables."

Lin Qingxue took Uncle Lin and the others directly to the vegetable garden and asked them to catch pheasants first and then pick vegetables after they caught the pheasants.

As for herself, even if she wanted to help, Uncle Lin and the others would not agree, because she was still injured.

"Okay, Qingxue, go sit over there and rest! Leave this to us," Uncle Lin nodded and waved his hand to signal her to go and rest over there.

Lin Qingxue also understood what was going on. She consciously went to the storage area and found an open space on the ground to sit down and rest.

Uncle Lin and the other three worked very well together. In less than half an hour, they caught six pheasants and ten rabbits, clearing half of the space's inventory.

The others were all cubs, so I didn't touch them. I planned to catch and eat them when they grew up. I couldn't just ignore them in the future!

After throwing all the pheasants and rabbits into two baskets, Uncle Lin took the three boys to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

The vegetables planted earlier have been picked once, and then they were watered and fertilized, and a new batch has grown.

I picked thirty or forty kilograms of cucumbers and put them downstairs. Then I picked some wild vegetables of all kinds, which weighed about fifty or sixty kilograms.

After picking the vegetables, they went to collect about fifty eggs. Estimating that it was about time, Uncle Lin and his group went to find Lin Qingxue.

"Qingxue, we are done, we can go out now." Uncle Lin and his companions were so busy that they were sweating all over and looked very embarrassed.

"Okay, uncle, let's go back!" Lin Qingxue nodded and teleported everyone out of the space.

When they came out, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, the moon was very bright and everyone could see the road clearly and returned to Mingyue Temple smoothly.

They quietly called the patrol team to open the door. After they went in, they asked the brothers Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai to carry baskets and go to deal with the pheasants and rabbits.

It was already late, and there were people guarding the hall. The families of the injured were worried, so each family sent one person to guard the hall, fearing that someone would not survive, so they wanted to be able to see them for the last time.

Uncle Lin only left two wild rabbits and a pheasant for his family, and left the rest in the front yard, asking the wives of the wounded to pick them up and fry them in a pot tomorrow for everyone to taste.
