There were actually many people in the refugee camp who knew how to hunt.
After Pei Qian instructed someone to explain the predicament they would face next, many people packed up and entered the mountain without any hesitation.
As for those who didnโt have any hunting skills, Pei Qian didnโt really ignore them.
Those who were unwilling to stay in the camp without contributing could also follow the experienced sergeants into the mountains and listen to their arrangements to hunt together. Although the gains might not be that much, it was at least better than doing nothing.
With such an arrangement, there were basically no complaints in the refugee camp.
After all, the memory of the days when they didnโt have enough to eat was too fresh. Now that the men had entered the mountain, the women began to think of ways to search for edible wild vegetables and fruits.
There were also bold women who went to the stream through the valley to see if they could catch live fish here.
The entire refugee camp was peaceful and harmonious.
Lin Suisui was sitting under a yellow poplar tree beside the ox cart. She had sewn the rabbit skin she had accumulated previously into a whole piece with needles and thread. It was the best way to keep warm.
If there were more, she wanted to make a small vest.
When the sound of hooves sounded on the dirt road outside the camp, she was the first to look up.
A group of cavalry came into view. The leader was dressed in black and looked familiar. Although it only flashed past her vision quickly, Lin Suisui didnโt miss the murderous look in his eyes.
After about ten minutes, Lin Suisui saw an ox cart surrounded by soldiers on horses.
The ox cart wasnโt moving fast, because the carriage covered by the tarpaulin above was full.
If she wasnโt wrong, this should be the food that Lu Ze had mentioned to her when he returned yesterday. The Imperial Court had sent reinforcements to give them, the refugees, food.
Looking at the dozen ox carts piled with food, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief.
With this food and the mountain prey they had hunted in the past few days, at least no matter how difficult it was for them during the next period, they wouldnโt encounter the tragic situation they did in the sandstorm.
With her worries relieved, Lin Suisui worked faster.
Unlike Lin Suisui, Pei Qian had an unpleasant expression ever since Du Yuanyi arrived. He only knew that the Imperial Court would arrange for people to escort rations over, but he didnโt expect the person to be Du Yuanyi.
He was the heir of the Dukeโs Estate, and Du Yuanruoโs older brother!
โI didnโt expect you to be the one to come over.โ
Pei Qian didnโt hide his unhappiness after seeing Du Yuanyi. He sneered coldly as he ordered him to leave. โAlright, the things have been delivered. Weโre traveling north, so the road ahead wonโt be easy. Thereโs no need for you to continue sending us off!
โBy the way, when you return, bring your brother along! He suffered from the plague previously and hasnโt recovered yet. If he continues traveling to the north with me, since itโs so dangerous there, the risk is too great!โ
โThank you for your concern, Mr. Pei.โ Du Yuanyi sat opposite Pei Qian. He looked over with a smile and said coldly, โMy useless brother has already troubled you a lot along the way.
Therefore, my family instructed me to send the rations over this time because they wanted me to make up for my brotherโs mistakes!
At the same time, I can also supervise my brother so that he can at least complete this mission! How can he return halfway without completing this mission?!โ
This wasnโt the first time Du Yuanyi and Pei Qian had worked together, so they were naturally used to such confrontations.
After saying this, he didnโt want to stay any longer. He stood up and cupped his hands politely at Pei Qian. Then, he turned around and left without looking back.
Pei Qian stared at Du Yuanyiโs back as he left. The anxiety and frustration on his face had long disappeared and the initial calmness had returned.
โQian He, Gu Erlang also entered the mountains today?!โ
He sat behind the long table for a moment before looking up to call Qian He, who was standing at the door.
Qian He bowed, then replied respectfully and quickly, โYes, he entered the mountain early in the morning. However, Madam Liu didnโt follow him this time. She didnโt go out with the other women to look for wild vegetables either. She stayed by the ox cart to sew the rabbit skin they had accumulated along the way.
I heard that sheโs planning to make a blanket. If thereโs any left, she can also make a vest.โ
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and laughed heartily. โDidnโt you have a few good quality skins previously?! Send them to her now!
That fox skin wasnโt bad. Although the color of its fur was mixed, it was good for making a scarf or sleeve! f๐๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ผัต๐l.๐๐ฐ๐ถ
Go yourself!
โTell Madam Liu that the pheasant soup she brewed last time wasnโt bad!โ
Although Qian He was also puzzled by Mr. Peiโs attitude towards the country girl doctor, he knew his limits and didnโt ask directly. He turned around to leave.
After Du Yuanyi left Pei Qianโs tent, he rushed towards Du Yuanruoโs tent.
Ever since he had been threatened by Pei Qian a few times in a row, Du Yuanruo had been extremely obedient during this period of time. It was very cold outside at this moment, so he simply stayed in the tent and drank wine and ate meat. Although the environment was tough, he actually gained weight.
When he heard that Du Yuanyi had personally sent the ration over, Du Yuanruo had a bad feeling. At this moment, he was panicking, like a rat that had been discovered stealing, and he wanted to escape from the tent.
However, just as he lifted the curtain, he bumped into Du Yuanyi.
Du Yuanruo subconsciously cried out in surprise. In the next moment, he was sent flying back to the tent by Du Yuanyi. His cry turned into a scream as he knocked over the tables and chairs in the tent and fell to the ground.
โTrash!โ Du Yuanyi walked in front of Du Yuanruo and glanced at Du Yuanruo, who was shouting in pain on the ground, with disdain and dissatisfaction. He couldnโt understand how he had such a younger brother!
โLook at all the trouble you caused! Even if Pei Qian is the reincarnation of the devil, you canโt possibly have no way to deal with him, right?!
Whereโs your usual wittiness? Did it all go to waste?!โ
