If you traveled back to ancient times, while others ate Guanyin clay, you would actually have giant

"I remember I definitely collapsed on the roadside."

When Yang Chun woke up, it was already dark. He opened his eyes and found himself lying on an unfamiliar bed, muttering to himself.

“You did indeed faint on the roadside. My neighbor found you when he was passing by and brought you back to life.”

Li Baiwei had already appeared with meat porridge. Having also escaped hardship, she naturally knew that what the other party needed most at this time was food. However, her husband said that a person who had been starving for a long time should not overeat, so he cooked some meat porridge.

Yang Chun didn't say anything, but just stared intently at the meat porridge in Li Baiwei's hand.

"Let's eat something first."

Li Baiwei handed the bowl of meat porridge to Yang Chun, who was so hungry that he didn't care about his image at all and started eating. In just a few bites, he finished the bowl of meat porridge without even feeling a thing.

Li Baiwei took the empty bowl and filled another one.

“You can’t eat any more after you finish this bowl. You’ve been hungry for too long. Your husband says that a person who has been hungry for a long time should not overeat.”

"Hmm, hmm, ~~rustling sound~~~"

Although he was still not quite done, Yang Chun understood that the other party was doing it for his own good.

After finishing his meal, Yang Chun calmed down and began to speak slowly.

“My name is Yang Chun. My family suffered a disaster this year, and everyone in the village fled. I came out with my family, but we got separated on the way. Thank you for rescuing me, young lady.”

As a woman herself, Yang Chun's plight immediately aroused Li Baiwei's sympathy.

"Just stay here and rest assured, your husband will take good care of you."

"Thank you, young lady."

When refugees arrived at Niujia Village, Zhou Wu immediately went to find Grandpa Niu.

"It seems that what was said above is true; this is just the beginning."

Old Niu sighed slightly.

"It seems we need to speed up our food reserves. When I went to the county town, I saw that there were quite a few refugees there. This disaster may be more serious than the higher-ups predicted."

“You’re right. Starting tomorrow, let the villagers focus on fishing for sea fish.”

"Uncle Niu has something else to discuss."

"Is there anything else, scholar?"

"What if more and more refugees come to our Niujia Village later? How will we deal with it?"

Uncle Niu didn't understand what Zhou Wu meant, so he didn't answer immediately. He just looked at Zhou Wu, wanting to hear his thoughts.

“Uncle Niu, I think we can take in these refugees within our capabilities. Of course, we must also carefully vet them. Those who commit crimes must not be allowed to stay. This way, we can not only share the burden of the court, but we can also do a good deed and solve the problem of labor shortage in our village.”

"Okay, that's what I meant too. I thought you had something to do with the refugees."

Seeing that Zhou Wu shared the same idea as him, Master Niu showed a hint of approval on his face. In Master Niu's heart, one should help others if one can, and he was increasingly convinced that Zhou Wu was capable of inheriting his mantle.

When Zhou Wu returned home, he cooked two more dishes because there was an extra mouth to feed.

"Eat, you're welcome."

This was Yang Chun's first time meeting Zhou Wu, though Li Baiwei had told her that this was the man who had saved her. But since it was Yang Chun's first time meeting him, she was a little shy.

"Eat meat."

Knowing that Yang Chun might be embarrassed, Li Baiwei took the initiative to put a piece of meat on his plate. Only then did Yang Chun pay attention to the table. There was fish, other kinds of meat, and vegetables. They were eating white rice. This was the life he had always dreamed of. He realized that this family lived such a good life.

Although they were a little reserved at the beginning of dinner, Yang Chun relaxed after chatting for a while and even offered to do the housework, probably because she was afraid of being seen as someone who was freeloading. Zhou Wu didn't seem to mind.

The next morning, someone arrived at the village entrance in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Excuse me, is this Niujia Village?"

The old man driving the car asked the villagers by the roadside.

"Yes, who is the old man looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this a scholar named Zhou Wu?"

"Oh, yes, Grandpa is looking for Brother Wu? I'll have someone take you there. Tiezhu, you take Grandpa to find your Grandpa Wu."

That's how it is in the countryside. People may be close in age, but seniority is always a factor. A ten-year-old might call someone under twenty "Grandpa."

Zhou Wu's status in the village is now almost the same as that of the village head, Uncle Niu, and he is highly respected by everyone. So when he heard that the visitor was looking for him, he immediately and enthusiastically arranged for someone to lead the way.

"Wow, grandpa, your carriage is full of chicks?"

"Haha, kid, there are more than just chicks, there are also ducklings, goslings, and piglets this afternoon."

"Are these all for my Master Wu?"

"Yeah, your Uncle Wu bought a lot of little cubs."

The old man and the young man chatted all the way and soon arrived at Zhou Wu's house. When the old man saw the large house with three courtyards, he finally felt relieved. He recalled that a few days ago, when this customer named Zhou Wu came to him and said he wanted to buy several hundred baby piglets, although he had given some deposit, he had never encountered such a large business before. He was afraid that if he went to collect the baby piglets, the other party would not accept the goods, and the deal would be ruined. Now that he saw that the owner actually lived in this big house, he was instantly relieved.

"Sir, wait a moment, I'll go knock on the door."

"Thank you for your help, young man."

"Knock knock, Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Wu, it's me, Tiezhu."

The door opened, and there stood Zhou Wu.

"What happened to Tiezhu?"

"Master Wu, an old man has brought you a little cub."

Zhou Wu casually grabbed a handful of beans and gave them to Tie Zhu, who happily took the handful and ran off. Seeing Tie Zhu's happy expression, Zhou Wu wondered if he should take some time to make the candy.

"Sir, could you please help me carry this into the yard?"

"Hey, that's good."

The old man is just waiting to hear those words.

Before long, Zhou Wu's yard was filled with the chirping of chicks and ducklings.

"Guest, I'll bring you the piglets this afternoon."

The old man had no more worries now, mainly because the customer was so agreeable that he even settled the payment for the morning's goods to put the old man at ease.

"By the way, old man, do you have any calves?"

"Yes, I do have some. How much do you want, sir?"

"Let's start with a dozen or twenty."

"Um...sir, there might not be that many. Cows in this area can't all give birth at the same time."

"Then send over as many as you have."

"okay."

The old man was overjoyed. These calves were worth much more than chicks and ducklings. When he went back to fetch piglets that afternoon, he would send his family to collect calves from all around the county, determined to catch every single one.

Wow, so many chicks!

No sooner had the old man left than Li Baiwei and Yang Chun returned from picking wild vegetables outside. They were overjoyed to see the yard full of chicks and ducks.

"You can keep some, and I will distribute the rest to the villagers to raise."
