In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

There are many kinds of prey piled up, and if they are divided up, there may be an uneven distribution. So how to divide them is a skill in itself.

Su Li was unaware of Zhao Zexuan's thoughts. While gazing at the mountain of prey, she started chatting with her aunt beside her.

After spending the day together, Su Li had become quite familiar with the village aunties, so taking advantage of a moment of free time, she chatted with the aunties around her, saying, "Aunties, how are you going to preserve and cook the meat after you take it home?"

Upon hearing this, most of the women said, "Smoking the meat will preserve it for a long time. We plan to smoke the meat and cut off a little to eat with rice when we're feeling peckish. That will be delicious."

Upon hearing this, Su Li nodded, but she did not intend to do so; she wanted to try a different approach.

Su Li didn't intend to speak, but the other women who heard her words couldn't help but become curious and asked one after another, "Su Li, do you have a new way of preserving things?"

Because of the milk foam incident, everyone now has a positive view of Su Li, thinking that she might have new ideas, so they are incredibly curious.

Su Li hadn't expected everyone to be so enthusiastic. Looking at the expectant eyes of the aunties present, she couldn't help but pause for a moment before speaking, "I want to make this into meat floss."

Upon hearing this, the aunties present asked curiously, "Meat floss, what is meat floss?"

Knowing that her aunts were curious, Su Li simply explained in detail what meat floss was and how to make it!

After listening to a long explanation, the women present understood what meat floss was. So they all thought about it carefully, and after a long while, they finally realized what it meant. They looked at each other and said, "Why don't we make this meat floss too? That way, it's easy to preserve and we can eat it anytime, anywhere, and it doesn't take up much space."

"Yes, if it's made into meat floss, the kids can eat more of it. If it's made into smoked meat, young children simply can't chew it."

This suggestion was approved by most of the aunties, so they put their heads together and took the initiative to find General Zhao Zexuan, wanting to make all the meat into meat floss.

Zhao Zexuan was clearly surprised to hear this suggestion, and then listened to their explanation of what meat floss was, how it was made, and who suggested it.

Upon hearing that Su Li had suggested making the meat floss, Zhao Zexuan couldn't help but glance at her. Then he said to the aunts who were looking at him expectantly, "Okay, we'll make it all together and then distribute it. But everyone needs to hurry, because we need to set off again by tomorrow morning at the latest."

Upon hearing this, the women present became excited and exclaimed, "We can start now!"

With the prey's destination already arranged, Zhao Zexuan stopped paying attention to these matters. He gave instructions and then left with his men, presumably to make arrangements for their departure.

Su Li knew that Zhao Zexuan had been injured after returning that day. She guessed that he might have encountered some trouble, but she didn't know the specifics. So even though she was worried, she didn't ask any questions.

……

Everyone in the camp had something to do, making it exceptionally lively. This puzzled some of the refugees following behind the group, who wanted to know what they were doing but dared not approach to ask.

"Brother, I saw them go up the mountain. Should we go up the mountain and see what they're doing?" Li Erlang cautiously suggested.

The man whom Li Erlang called "Big Brother" was also looking in the direction of the camp. After hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Being allowed to follow behind them is already a favor. If we go and cause trouble, we might end up losing more than we gain. It's better to do nothing and stay put."

Upon hearing this, Li Erlang became completely obedient. However, he kept looking up, indicating his curiosity. Although he couldn't go forward to ask, he was keeping an eye on the camp's movements.

In a corner of the camp, Zhao Zexuan was convening a meeting of his generals. The main topic of the meeting was how to successfully pass through Tongcheng.

“We scouted around Tongcheng and found that the city had been occupied by refugees. The city gates were closed all day long, and now it looked like a dead city,” said Wang Zong, the military advisor.

Upon hearing this, the generals present all frowned, clearly realizing that the situation was not good.

"What's the situation inside? Is there any other way to get through?" a general asked.

Wang Zong shook his head and said, "Although those refugees are disorganized and undisciplined, and only have a lot of brute force, they are inherently cruel, and we absolutely cannot force them."

Upon hearing this, some of the generals frowned and said, "Then we don't have a better way? If brute force doesn't work, then we can only outsmart them?"

"How can we outsmart them? Those refugees are all bloodthirsty. Even if we wanted to negotiate with them, we had no way to do so. Besides, we do not approve of what they have done."

"If brute force won't work, and neither will cunning, then what do you suggest we do?"

Seeing that his subordinates were about to start arguing, Zhao Zexuan said, "Stop arguing. I called you here to discuss countermeasures, not to blame each other!"

Upon hearing this, the generals present fell silent, exchanging glances and tacitly remaining silent, for the current situation was indeed difficult to handle.

Seeing his men quiet down, Zhao Zexuan snorted and gave Mo Nan, who was standing beside him, a wink. Mo Nan understood and stepped forward, saying, "Generals, a few days ago we were scouting around Tongcheng and learned that the group of refugees will be heading north from the city in a few days!"

"Heading north? Isn't that the direction we're heading now?" The generals' expressions immediately turned serious, clearly realizing the complexity of the situation.

Upon hearing this question, Mo Nan nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, those refugees want to continue north to occupy cities!"

The generals present looked rather displeased upon hearing this. Although they were no longer government soldiers, their years of military experience had not changed, so they were all indignant upon learning of the refugees' plans. Some of the more emotional generals, in particular, wished they could immediately draw their swords, mount their horses, and teach the refugees a lesson.

"These beasts, they are all suffering people, yet they make things more difficult for others. Along the way, their evil deeds have spread further and further. The court is now so corrupt that it does not restrain these people but lets them run rampant. It is simply indescribable."

Upon hearing these words, the generals present fell silent. They were well aware of the people's suffering, but they too were like rootless duckweed, powerless to help.

The atmosphere at the scene was somber; everyone clearly realized that the situation in Tongcheng might be dire.

The generals present were in a bad mood, but some of them were quick-witted. They realized that General Zhao Zexuan's mention of the refugees leaving the city was not so simple, so they asked, "General, do you have any other ideas?"
