Yan Shu asked: "Does the seventh uncle have any ideas?"

The seventh uncle pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Right now, we can only distribute a little food to each household to let the villagers without food tide over the difficulties first. However, after several village chiefs proposed this idea today, they were criticized by many villagers. Objection, I can understand everyone’s difficulties, some villagers can’t even sustain their own food rations for a few days, and they won’t be willing to give more to others.”

Yan Shu said: "If we want the villagers to be willing to share food, we must provide them with some guarantees."

Yan Fugui on the side asked: "Fourth girl, what guarantee are you talking about?"

Yan Shu thought for a moment and had an idea in his mind.

"I heard that officials from Xinyang Prefecture have arrived in Lingquan Town. I want to give the prescription for treating the plague to the government in exchange for a batch of grain."

The seventh uncle did not show any joy after hearing this, but instead frowned.

"The cure for the plague is hard to come by. If you only come back with a batch of grain, wouldn't you suffer a big loss?"

The seventh uncle is a scholar, so he knows how valuable a prescription for treating the plague is.

"Lingquan Town is the only way for us to go to Xinyang Prefecture. Now the villagers don't have much food in their hands. We can't delay any longer. I heard that tens of thousands of refugees have gathered outside Lingquan Town. Most of them are Ordinary people who keep their peace, if the gates of Lingquan Town remain closed, we may all die here, and it is worth exchanging one prescription for tens of thousands of lives."

On the mountain, Yan Shu decided to hand over the prescription for the plague. The above mentioned was one of the main reasons. Secondly, one prescription could be exchanged for one thousand taels of gold, so she was not at a loss.

The seventh uncle and Yan Fugui looked at Yan Shu with a little more respect.

"Fourth girl, although you are young, you are broad-minded and can be compared to a gentleman."

After listening to the seventh uncle's rainbow fart, Yan Shu felt somewhat guilty.

She is not a saint who is upright and dedicated to the public good. She wants to save these people, and she is really eager to solve the current problem, and she cannot delay making money. This is called grasping with three hands, and all three hands must be secure!

"Sister Shu'er."

Xu Shuangxue came here with her maid Xiaolian.

Yan Shu smiled and stepped forward to greet him.

"How are you doing, Sister Xu?"

Xu Shuangxue said softly: "Everything is fine with me. I have been worried about your situation since I heard that you were kidnapped by the gangsters. My brother and second uncle also asked people to inquire about your whereabouts, but they never found anything useful. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang found you, otherwise I would really feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Yan Shu heard Yan Huai talk about this. The night she was kidnapped by Liu Hanyue, Jiang Ci killed Mr. Xu and the eldest family of the Yan family in a rage.

When she heard the news, she was just a little surprised that Jiang Ci went on a killing spree for her. As for the death of Mr. Xu and the eldest son of the Yan family, she didn't have much emotion.

Whether it was Mr. Xu or Dafang's family, they all wanted her dead. If they were given the same opportunity, they would be more ruthless than Jiang Ci.

Yan Shu has always felt that kindness must have a certain standard. Being kind to the enemy means disrespecting one's own life.

"Sister Xu, don't worry, I know this matter has nothing to do with you and Mr. Xu."

Xu Shuangxue said: "I'm so happy that you can come back safely. As for my third uncle, my eldest brother and my second uncle all understand that he brought it upon himself."

Ever since Jiang Ci killed his third uncle and the eldest brother of the Yan family that day, there has been some estrangement between the Xu family team and the team led by Xinghuacun. There were many cronies trained by the third uncle in the Xu family team who took the opportunity to cause trouble, and were eventually suppressed by the eldest brother. down.

The elder brother said that Jiang Ci was a man who was determined to retaliate against others. If there was really something wrong with sister Shuer, no one in the Xu family would be able to escape.

Therefore, they must not leave the team at the moment. Not only can they not leave, but they must also try to maintain the relationship between the two parties.

Xu Shuangxue was secretly glad that Sister Shu'er was back safely, and her long-suspended heart finally settled down.

"By the way, I just heard you talking about food?"

Yan Shu thought that the Xu family was also a member of the team, so he truthfully informed her of the situation in the team.

Xu Shuangxue also sighed after hearing this.

"When the refugees rioted that day, one of my family's carriages carrying food was robbed by the refugees. We don't have much food left at the moment, but if necessary, we will try our best to distribute some food."

The seventh uncle and Yan Fugui hurriedly expressed their thanks.

Xu Shuangxue said softly: "You two don't have to be polite. We have been taking care of you all the way, so we should give you some food."

Later in the evening, a group of people walked out of the woods at the foot of the mountain.

Yan Shu looked towards them. Jiang Ci, Yan Ersheng, the Yan brothers, Huan Ying, Wu Ming and others each carried several prey in their hands, including pheasants, wild rabbits, camphors, wild deer and the like.

The Xuanzong disciples behind them were carrying dozens of fresh large fish, each fish weighing about four or five kilograms by visual inspection.

A group of people walked straight back, attracting the greedy eyes of all the villagers.

The seventh uncle came up with a smile on his face: "Er Sheng, Er Lang, didn't you go up the mountain to chop firewood? Why did you bring back so many prey?"

Yan Ersheng's face was filled with happiness: "These prey were hunted by Erlang and his friends. As an old hunter, I only shot two rabbits. Erlang said that animals on these mountains are easier to find after heavy snowfall. He was really right." Okay, we came back after hunting so many prey in less than two hours."

Yan Fugui looked at the fish: "What's going on with these fish?"

Yan Wu explained: "We found a pool outside the mountain. As long as the ice surface is cut open, these fish will rush out."

Yan Changman came over and asked, "Uncle Ersheng, are there any fish in the pool?"

"The pool is not big, and there are not many fish in it. We caught them all, I estimate there are more than thirty fish."

Yan Changman was a little disappointed: "It would be great if we could catch more. We guys haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Yan Changming echoed: "Since the last time we caught wild boars and ate the meat, and Erlang and Fourth Sister left the team, our food has plummeted."

Jiang Ci said to his seventh uncle: "Seventh uncle, please call the other village chiefs over soon."

The seventh uncle heard the deep meaning in Jiang Ci's words, and it seemed that he was going to solve the current dilemma.

"Fugui, please go and invite the other village chiefs over."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Jiang Ci continued to give instructions: "Huanying, go and invite the heads of the Xu family, Liu family, and Cai family."

"Yes!"

While Yan Fugui and Huan Ying went to call for help, Jiang Ci ordered everyone to place all the prey on the snow in front of them.

Wuming stepped forward and counted the total number of prey.

"Sir, today we hunted seven pheasants, five hares, one sika deer and two camphors, and also caught thirty-two fish."

The onlookers' eyes shone when they saw the mountains of prey.

There were children in the crowd licking their dry lips and mumbling about eating meat.

The adults also looked at it eagerly, but no one dared to ask for it.

If it were other villagers in the village who had brought back so many prey, the other villagers would definitely ask him to take some out for everyone to share, but these prey were brought back by Jiang Ci, and they were very afraid of this young man, so they didn't. People dare to take the initiative to open this mouth.
