Siheyuan: The Temptation of the Mountains

"Brother Fuqiang, the sweet potatoes and potatoes are all here. You can dig them up and bring them to the other side of the lake. Then, go door to door and divide them equally according to the number of people."

After hearing what Lin Ze said, several people from other families lowered their heads immediately, unable to hide the shame on their faces.

Lin Fuqiang glared at Cai Laosi and the others, "Don't whisper to me over there, these supplies were discovered by Lin Ze, so my uncle's family should get the lion's share. Go back and weigh enough food for the old man and Lin Ze's family, and then you can share the rest with the villagers."

The people with the surname Lin in the village nodded one after another, while a few people with other surnames lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything more.

The process of transporting supplies back was extremely smooth, and the sweet potato vines can also be eaten as vegetables.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes were all attached to their vines, tied with hemp ropes, and pushed back in the water.

Lin Ze caught more than thirty fish and divided them into three groups. Lin Fuqiang, Lin Musheng and Lin Ze each carried more than ten fish, and swam towards the village with the fish on their backs.

Fortunately, time stood still in the warehouse in Lin Ze's space. After the fish were put into the space and released, they were all dead.

There was no way to struggle any further, or else he would have to run away.

Grandpa Lin and others were all waiting on the shore for Lin Ze and his group to return. After a round trip to the lake, Lin Xiaohu really didn't have the energy to swim anymore.

He stood with Lin Wen and Lin Wu, and shouted madly at Da Hu, "Come on! Come on, come on!"

After about twenty minutes, everyone swam back from the other side of the lake.

Lin Ze was the first to swim out of the water carrying a large bunch of fish.

"Uncle Ze!"

Lin Wen and Lin Wu took the lead and surrounded Lin Ze.

"Uncle Ze, there are so many fish!"

The sun was shining brightly, but Lin Changgui's hands were shaking. He scolded, "You bastard, I told you not to go up the mountain, but you came down to the lake?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, I'm fine and nothing happened to me." Lin Ze laughed, looking very honest and simple.

"Humph."

Lin Changgui snorted coldly and ignored Lin Ze. He turned his eyes to the sweet potatoes and potatoes that Lin Fugui and others had brought back.

“It’s really food!”

Lin Changgui picked up a sweet potato with trembling hands. Looking at the washed sweet potato, Lin Changgui took a big bite.

It is sweet and crispy, and tastes many times better than tree bark and wild vegetables.

"Have all the things on the other side of the lake been transported?" Lin Changgui asked.

"Master, everything has been transported."

Lin Fuqiang and others climbed ashore and looked at the full load of supplies, feeling indescribably happy.

But everyone's eyes looking towards the other side of the lake revealed a vague fear.

"It's good that we have transported them. Unless you are starving to death, you are not allowed to swim to the other side of the lake again."

"Grandpa, why?" Lin Wen and Lin Wu didn't understand. It was obvious that their eldest brother came back with so much food, which should be a happy thing.

"Don't ask why. You little bastards, listen to me clearly. You are not allowed to swim in the water casually anymore."

Lin Changgui said angrily, "It's fine if I let you play in the shallow water, but you actually dared to challenge me to swim to the middle of the lake. If it weren't for the fact that you brought back so much food, I would have beaten you two up."

"hey-hey."

Lin Xiaohu scratched the back of his head and smiled foolishly, "You adults always say that the lake is dangerous, but Brother Ze and I are very safe."

"Xiao Hu, your great grandfather is right." Lin Fuqiang piled all the food together and frowned, "There has always been a legend in our village. It is said that there is a water monster in the big lake, and it specifically drags boys like you into the water."

When Lin Xiaohu heard what his father said, he immediately lost his temper and said nonchalantly, "Oh, I know, Dad."

"Water monster?"

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows slightly. Coming from the future, he knew very well that there were no water monsters in this world. The so-called water monster was an animal called otter.

But Lin Ze couldn't explain it to Lin Changgui, so he simply didn't explain it.

Lin Fuqiang was very excited. Wearing only his shorts, he led everyone to weigh the grain.

"That's a full eight hundred kilograms of food!"

Lin Musheng said, "Thirty fish, a total of 79 kilograms, this is Lin Ze's personal income."

"Uncle, it's okay. Let's share the fish among everyone." Lin Ze waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"My brother is generous!" Lin Fuqiang smiled happily.

"It has to be my Uncle Ze!" Lin Xiaohu also smiled with his teeth showing.

"Grandpa Ze is so awesome."

"Grandpa Ze is so generous!"

“…”Some other juniors were also very excited.

When Lin Ze said this, even the people from other families were quite shocked.

The sweet fish soup from yesterday is still lingering in their mouths. If it weren’t for Lin Ze, they would never have been able to enjoy this delicacy.

Therefore, everyone was very grateful to Lin Ze.

"Okay, let's not talk too much. Whether it's the fish my brother Lin Ze caught or the food he found, we have to collect it from the old man's family first."

Lin Fuqiang said sternly, "You all have no objection, right?"

Regardless of whether they were convinced or not, everyone could only nod.

In the end, Lin Changgui, the old man of the Lin family, was given 100 kilograms of sweet potatoes and 100 kilograms of potatoes, of which 50 kilograms were given to Lin Ze to take back to the city.

Lin Changgui's family received 30 kilograms of fish, and the remaining 49 kilograms were distributed equally among the households in the village to ensure that every family had fish to eat.

"Grandma, Brother Ze is at a disadvantage. These are all good things that Brother Ze found. Brother Ze should take them all back to the city."

Lin Wen rubbed his full belly and looked at the little fish meat left in the kitchen. He smacked his lips and said with some regret, "My master won't let me go to the lake. Maybe I will never be able to eat such delicious fish meat again."

Liu Ying rubbed Lin Wen's head and sneered, "What nonsense! Your brother Ze is smart. In this era, food is life."

"Your grandma is right!"

Lin Changgui rolled up some leaves with newspaper, put them in his mouth, took a puff, and exhaled smoke rings before sighing, "If we don't share 800 kilograms of food with the villagers, and our family eats it all by itself, how much hatred will we suffer?"

"Others eat bran and tree bark, but your family has surplus food, and even chicken, duck, fish and meat. What do you call that?"

Lin Changgui said in a deep voice, "That's called a dog-rich landlord, a rich landlord, and he will be criticized right now!"

"Just divide the supplies equally. That way no one can say anything."

Liu Ying took over the conversation and continued, "Xiao Wen and Xiao Wu, do you understand?"

"Grandma, I still don't quite understand."

Lin Wuxue scratched his head, imitating his brother's expression, "You're talking about the average score, but our family obviously gets more than other families!"

"Silly boy."

Lin Changgui was amused. His eyes were red from the cigarette in his hand. He said cheerfully, "Your grandfather is the most senior in the village, let's put that aside. It was your brother Ze who found the grain, and it was your brother Ze who caught the fish himself. How can ordinary people have such ability?"
