Happiness System

For fear that some wild animals might escape and rush through, they surrounded Meng Yuxi and the five members of the Meng family in a protective manner.

Meng Yuxi was quite relaxed. She called to the kitchen, "Do you have any firewood and water at home? Hurry up and cook some hot food. We will eat first and then cook another round. When they come back later, let them eat and rest, and the others will take over to deal with the prey."

"Yes, ma'am!"

The people in the kitchen immediately pushed the guards and asked them to expand their protective circle so as not to interfere with their cooking.

The lanterns and torches were lit, and the surroundings were bright enough.

The old carpenter tremblingly gathered his apprentices who were still in the camp, and continued to chisel wood and build the boat against every second.

The guards were speechless. Doesn't anyone care about their master's safety?

It seems like they are making a big deal out of nothing!

The stove fire lit up, and the cook's hands were shaking like the auntie serving food in the cafeteria. Meng Yuxi couldn't bear to see it, so she hurriedly said, "Cook more, so that everyone can have a full meal!"

The head cook's eyebrows were almost twisted together. He said in a tangled manner: "Madam, the government requisitioned a batch of grain last time, and we don't have much left. We should eat sparingly! When the master comes back from hunting later, I will stew a big pot of meat, and everyone will definitely be full!"

Meng Yuxi shook her head. "It's okay. Even if it doesn't snow in Stone Country, there are still wild animals. We will definitely find other food soon. Let's have a full meal first."

The cook had no choice but to nod.

The master is the greatest in the world!

When the sky falls, there will always be someone tall to hold it up!

"Eat! Eat first, and then talk about it. I'd rather die with a full stomach!"

Thinking of the shock and fear that had caused everyone in the past few days, the cook made up his mind and asked someone to bring over another sack of food.

The cook personally used a small pot to make a pot of noodles for the mistress and several members of the Meng family. He also added some dried meat grains and dehydrated vegetables, making the people around him drool at the delicious smell.

As for what they and the guards ate, they didn't care about the cooking method or presentation. They just cooked it in a pot like pig food.

The Wen family had just finished eating, while the food from other families was not yet ready. In the distance, whistles from various families could be heard.

When Wen Qing heard the whistle from his own family, he immediately jumped up, "Master, they found something good!"

He didn't dare to leave the camp, so he immediately pulled out most of his men, unloaded the things in the carriage, and asked them to ride the carriage over to provide support. Even the people from the kitchen were pulled away.

The cook looked at his big pot reluctantly and said, "Qing, take good care of the pot. Remember to stir the bottom of the pot to avoid burning the pot and wasting the food."

Wen Qing waved his hands impatiently, "Let's go now, it's more important to bring back more stuff!"

After everyone drove away in their carriages, there were only about twenty people left in the Wen family camp.

Wen Qing asked Meng Yuxi for her opinion, and seeing that they were not willing to stay in the carriage any longer, he built a fire for them and asked two of them to go find some firewood nearby.

Meng Yuxi couldn't sit still either, so she looked for the ingredients that were meant for her and Wen Yujin, and rolled up her sleeves to stew a soup for Wen Yujin.

King Kang next door shook his head and sighed, "Everyone thought that the daughter of the Meng family was rough and uncouth, but now it seems that the Wen family kid got a good deal!"

Seeing this, the wife of Prince Kang agreed, "Yes! It seems that Madam Wen is indeed a blessed person along the way!

My husband came back and said...”

The family smelled the delicious food over there and became extremely hungry. They felt that their own meal was slow to come and not tasty.

His family knew what was going on and didn't come forward, but there are always those who don't know what to do and want to take advantage!

Meng Yuxi looked at the person who came to "borrow food" with a half-smile, "Madam, you and I are strangers, your behavior is really presumptuous!

All the families in the front have gone out to support and find food. Could it be that everyone in your family is missing some limbs?

It's such a short distance away, but you don't go looking for free food, but instead come to "borrow" things from me?

Is there anything wrong with your mind?

What does it have to do with my Wen family if your elderly and children are crying with hunger? Your parents don't work hard, but you can't blame them for working too hard to store extra food, right?

Instead of wasting time chatting, you might as well go ahead and find something to eat!

Our two families have nothing to do with each other in this lifetime, so stop blackmailing me!"

"You! You..." The woman was so angry that her fingers were shaking like Parkinson's.

Meng Yuxi was also impatient to argue with others, so she asked Wen Qing to carry the person away!

After wandering outside for more than a year, the ladies of each family still wanted to save their reputation. Although it did not affect their watching the fun, no one came out to mediate and act as a good person.

Although everyone went to look for food before, who knows how much food they can find? Now the thing that everyone is most taboo about is borrowing food.

After the onlookers left, the old lady sighed, "Xi'er, you should control your temper a little!

Ugh!

Mrs. Huo Zhang is the mother of Concubine Xian. Although the Huo family is lazy and loves to take advantage of others, you should be careful not to make others angry.

Be careful or Concubine Xian will cause you trouble!"

Meng Yuxi smiled proudly, "I don't care whether she is an idle concubine or a busy concubine. The emperor is still counting on my Wen family to donate grain. Let's see whether everyone will help her unreasonable mother family or my Wen family!"

“You!”

The old lady no longer said anything to her. The Wen family did have the capital to be arrogant.

After sitting by the fire for a while, seeing that the old man and the old lady looked tired, Meng Yuxi quickly helped them into the tent to rest.

She also went in to take shelter from the wind, to avoid any more tactless people coming over.

After waiting in the tent for a whole hour, when everyone in the Meng family fell into a deep sleep, she heard the sound of someone leaving the house.

She got out of the tent and asked, "Are they back?"

"Madam, the master and his men are back!"

Meng Yuxi hurried to reprocess the food.

Not long after, Wen Yujin came back covered in blood and looking cold.

She hurried over and asked, "Brother Jin, are you okay?"

"No, don't get too close to me, my clothes are dirty!"

"Okay, then wash your hands and eat something hot first. I'll go find you some clothes!"

Meng Yuxi brought the food to the small table next to the fire and went into their exclusive tent.

The conditions do not allow this now, otherwise she would have asked Wen Yujin to take a shower before changing into clean clothes.

By the time everyone finished their meal and packed up the things they had brought back, the sky was already slightly bright.

But their current location was relatively safe, so they had no intention of continuing on their journey. After all, they were already extremely tired, and they still needed to wait for the people behind them.

The Stone Kingdom is also cold, a gloomy kind of cold, but colder than the frozen Zhou Kingdom.

They slept until noon, and when they went out to bask in the sun, they found that the temperature had actually risen. Everyone thought that this cold winter was about to end.

Apart from anything else, this place is still too close to the Zhou State, and everyone has to be careful that the water will flood over after the ice melts.

He was even more worried about whether his relatives and friends behind him would have enough time to evacuate the Zhou Kingdom.

"Look, there's a carriage coming over there. Are our people catching up with us?"

Meng Yuxi and his friends had lunch and waited for another half an hour before they saw a carriage approaching from afar.

Many people discovered it, and everyone was hoping that it was their relatives who had returned.

Some are happy and some are sad. There are thousands of people who have caught up with us, but none of them are Meng’s family members.

The old lady sighed and said nothing on the surface, but she wiped away tears in private.

Meng Yuxi did not try to comfort them. Those were her relatives and she was also very lost.

But the large group will not set out immediately. Relative to the location of the area, everyone prefers to spend the earthquake disaster in this open place.

As the sun set, the temperature dropped a lot again. The cold winter was not over yet, and they did not wait for the Meng family to return that night.

The next day, before dawn, the whole camp was in a frenzy again.

Someone is coming again!

This time there are not just a few thousand, but tens of thousands!

"Hey, our Daqi flag is red, which country is that yellow one from? Did they collide?"

Except for when they were in the South, this was the first time they saw so many foreigners!

Wen Yujin squinted his eyes and looked for a long time before saying, "It's the people of Anguo! Anguo is still some distance away from our Daqi, and there is also the Liguo in between. I didn't expect them to come from this direction!"

Meng Yuxi looked for a long time, and when people got closer, she didn't find anything special, but it was true that there were quite a lot of people in their group.

It is also unclear how many are the people of Daqi and how many are the people of Anguo.

The Meng family was lucky; they were mixed in with this group of people and arrived safely in the Stone Country without any danger.

The people of Anguo and Daqi were on guard against each other. They did not get too close to each other and found a place to settle down far away.

Including this wave, there are nearly 30,000 people from Daqi, while there are only more than 10,000 people from Anguo.

However, another wave of people came in the afternoon. This wave was still mostly composed of Anguo people, so the number of people on both sides was not much different.

With more people, food became scarce again. Meng Yuxi made another effort, and Wen Yujin once again took people out under the pretext of hunting compensation, and then "discovered" and summoned people to dig for food again.

The land here is all barren. Meng Yuxi tried her best. Those crops must have been malnourished when they were in other countries, and their size has shrunk by nearly half.

Since the size was not enough, she could only reluctantly put the energy water in the can to induce the birth again.

When the people of An discovered that Daqi had found food, they rushed like crazy into the mountains on their side to look for it.

Naturally, they found nothing except a few prey!

Meng Yuxi and the people who stayed behind were not idle either. The government came to collect another batch of grain, so they processed the remaining grain.

In addition to making the food easy to store, they also need to cook it into a cooked food.

After all, no one knows when an earthquake will occur, and no one can predict what the situation will be like when it occurs.

There is only a limited time to prepare food and clean water.

The Meng family missed the first wave of food harvest, and their stock was exhausted. However, they did not come to borrow food, but went hunting with Wen Yujin and others.

When they found natural food, except for a few people left behind to look after the things, everyone else, regardless of whether they were masters or servants, old or young, women or children, went out to dig for food.

The old man went to the Meng family for a walk and found Meng Yuxi before coming back. "Xi'er, I think the vacant land next to yours is nice. What do you think about us moving in?"

Meng Yuxi looked in the direction he pointed and asked, "Isn't it too small?"

"Not anymore, we have a small family!"

The broken house is worth a fortune. The old man found out that someone was coveting his things, and was afraid that a few guards could not keep the things safe, so he thought of moving here to take advantage of the situation.

There are dozens of people, is that not enough?

The corners of Meng Yuxi's mouth twitched, and she replied: "Grandfather, if you don't want to be embarrassed, just move. I'll ask Wen Cheng and the others to help!"

"Okay!" The old man nodded with satisfaction.
