The number of people in the small mountain village was three or four times that of the opponent, and everyone had weapons in their hands. Those people knew that they could not defeat them, so they did not dare to get closer and retreated reluctantly.

As we were retreating, someone from the other team suddenly knelt down with a plop: "Dear well-wishers, please give us a bite to eat. We are too hungry and have no choice. Please show mercy."

Then, more people knelt down.

The villagers in the small mountain village are genuine villagers with soft hearts. When the other party kneels down so many times, they become a little unkind and put down their weapons.

Jiang Pan stood up quickly when he saw this: "Have you forgotten the lesson learned a few days ago? Drive these people away, otherwise we will only be the unlucky ones!"

When the villagers remembered what happened a few days ago, their expressions suddenly changed, and they raised their weapons again: "Leave quickly!"

The men in the village came forward with knives raised: "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

When the people on the other side saw them like this, they quickly got up and ran away.

After those people ran away, Jiang Pan turned to the village chief: "Village Chief, we can't cook like this every day. The situation here in Tongzhou is too bad. It will be easy for us to cook like this again."

People are looking at it. If you want to see it, it’s better to make it into dry food as much as possible, and eat it with hot water, so it won’t have too much of a taste.”

The village chief nodded: "You are saying that now that the weather is cold, things can be stored."

So that night, the village began to prepare dry food. While the dry food was being prepared, the men stood guard at the edge of the team with knives.

It was not until midnight that the people in the small mountain village prepared the dry food.

Jiang Pan's family also prepared a lot. The dozens of kilograms of chestnuts they harvested earlier were roasted, and more than twenty kilograms of dried snake meat were roasted. They also made some multigrain pancakes, which were enough for the family to eat for several days.

Already.

In the next few days, the team in the small mountain village kept rushing. During this period, Jiang Wan found another water source and filled the entire village with water.

In addition, Jiang Wan still went up the mountain with her parents every evening, and came back with some wild fruits and vegetables every day.

The people in the village saw that they could harvest something every day when they went into the mountains, so they became jealous.

On this day, Jiang Pan's family of three were preparing to go into the mountains again. Suddenly, several men came running up and asked, "Da Pan, are you going up the mountain? Let's go together. We happen to have a companion on the way."

Jiang Pan couldn't refuse and had no choice but to nod.

The men were in a good mood when they saw how generous he was.

After going up the mountain, Jiang Pan said: "It's done, let's go separately."

A man with very sharp eyes said: "Dapan, where are you going?"

Jiang Pan pointed in a direction: "Over there, where are you?"

The man laughed and said, "What a coincidence, I'm planning to go over there and have a look. Come on, let's go together so we can take care of you."

Several other people also said: "Then why don't we go over there? Speaking of which, your family's luck is really good. You can always find something to eat in the mountains. I hope we can also take advantage of it today."

Chen Yuezhi and Jiang Pan looked at each other and smiled at those people: "I hope so."

Jiang Wan sat on Jiang Pan's shoulder and couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sky.

These people came here on purpose!

But they can't drive them away, after all, the mountain doesn't belong to them. If they can come, so can others.

As long as these people follow her, she won't be able to use her powers to cheat anymore.

The group of people were walking through the mountains and forests. Chen Yuezhi stopped from time to time to rummage among the dead branches and leaves, and occasionally dug out a medicinal plant.

Seeing that it was almost dark, a few people were still empty-handed, so they became a little anxious: "Da Pan, how do you usually find things? Why didn't you gain anything today?"

Jiang Pan shrugged: "We are just trying our luck when we go into the mountains. Nothing grows in the mountains. What can anyone do?"

After hearing this, those few people could not refute.

Several people went down the mountain empty-handed. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Jiang Pan chopped a bundle of firewood and carried it back.

When they reached their own territory, Chen Yuezhi said: "They won't follow us up the mountain every day from now on, right? If so, it would be too troublesome."

Jiang Pan said: "It's okay. If they want to follow, let them follow. If we follow for a few days and there is no harvest, they will naturally not follow. The more we are on guard, the more energetic they will be."

Chen Yuezhi sighed: "It's really annoying!"

Jiang Pan put down the firewood and saw a bundle of firewood next to him, so he asked, "Are you going to chop firewood?"

Su poked her head out of the carriage: "Zheng Cuier sent it, saying that his father specially chopped it."

Jiang Wan walked around the firewood several times: "Is it from her family again?"

Sanlang came over and touched his chin and said: "To show courtesy for nothing is to be either an adulterer or a thief. I suspect that the Zheng family didn't hold it in well!"

Jiang Wan nodded: "I think so too, but why does his family think that if they send a few bundles of firewood, we will get closer to their family? They think too highly of themselves. The firewood is all over the mountain, so there is no need for them to bother.

"

Jiang Pan said: "No matter what their plans are, we won't accept it. Erlang, you carry this firewood and return it to them."

Jiang Wan said hurriedly: "I'll go too!"

Erlang said: "Then you go ahead and I'll watch you, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up or fall."

The brother and sister carried firewood to Zheng's house one after the other.

The Zheng family has boiled water and is sitting around the fire eating dry food.

Seeing Erlang carrying firewood over, Zheng Dayou quickly stood up and said, "Erlang, why are you carrying firewood back again? It's your house and you can just burn it, so why are you carrying it back?"

Zheng Cuier quickly stood up delicately and came to Erlang's side: "Brother Erlang, why are you here? Have you had dinner? Let's have something together."

Erlang put the firewood on the ground, waved his hands and said, "Don't send firewood to my house anymore. It's too troublesome."

Jiang Wan nodded at the side: "That's right, if you want to give something away, give something valuable. What's the use of giving firewood? You can cut a big bundle of things in just a few steps. Do you want our family to owe you a favor?"

Zheng Dayou’s family:……

Zheng Cuier laughed dryly and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Jiang Wan's hand enthusiastically: "Wan, have you had dinner?"

Jiang Wan actually went to Zheng'er's house for dinner on the New Year's notice, but when Zheng Cui'er and her brother had eaten their own meal together, she immediately said: "I haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry."

Zheng Dayou's family:...Why is this kid so rude?

But after all the questions were asked, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Then... let's eat something together."

Jiang Wan looked at their reluctant and painful expressions and said with a smile: "Then I'm not polite. Second brother, come over and eat together!"

Erlang scratched his head, isn't this...not good?

Now that food is so expensive, no one is willing to give their own food to outsiders.

Seeing that Erlang didn't move, Jiang Wan went over and pulled Erlang and sat down in front of the Zheng family's stove.

Although Erlang was not angry at all, he was a little worse than Jiang Wan, so he was forced to sit down.

The Zheng family didn't have much food, so they ate in fixed amounts, but Jiang Wan and Erlang looked like they were good eaters.

When Mrs. Zheng Wu handed over the dry food, her hands were trembling.

Jiang Wan was not polite at all. She took the two pieces of dry food handed over by Zheng Wu and took a bite of each.

Mrs. Zheng Wu felt distressed, what she gave was for two people!
