Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

The roasted jerky was quickly distributed.

After the villagers were distributed the dried meat, they gave one piece to each family member to eat. Those who ate the dried meat were attracted by its slightly spicy taste.

However, children can eat this spicy food. It is not very spicy and has a numbing taste mixed with peppercorns. The taste is not too strong and it is very delicious for them.

Adults and children are treated equally and each is given one.

The laughter and joy around became more lively as they enjoyed the food. The children took the dried meat and put it in their mouths, chewing it slowly.

The children's faces were filled with smiles of satisfaction and happiness, and their eyes were sparkling with a little surprise for this rare delicacy.

The friends, each holding a piece of dried meat, formed a warm circle and occasionally exchanged their tasting experiences with each other. At this moment, the pure friendship was closely connected by the aroma of the dried meat.

Every household packed the remaining dried meat into their treasured cloth bags. Some people even made a temporary bag using old clothes. After the dried meat was distributed, the rest were put away and eaten slowly on the way.

"Village chief, this jerky is delicious, better than the previous ones. There is still so much wolf meat, let's roast it all!"

The village chief looked at everyone's expressions. Although there was light in their eyes, the overall feeling of exhaustion was not fake.

Moreover, the location they found was indeed very safe. If they stayed here for another day and roasted all the wolf meat, each family could also go around to see if there was anything they could pick for supplies.

After careful consideration, Village Chief Hu discussed with everyone and said

"Then we will stay here for another day and roast all the wolf meat. Each family can also contribute some salt and Jerusalem artichokes. Similarly, each family can arrange one person to work, and the others can go out and look around the area with their families. Everything they find is theirs! What do you think?"

"Great……"

The children in the village were very happy. In fact, they had been traveling non-stop every day to get here. Not to mention the children, even the adults were exhausted.

There is no child who doesn’t like to play. Knowing that they can stay here one more day without having to travel, they all shouted with joy.

Liu Caixia and her friends were afraid that it would be unsafe to stay here for too long, but when they looked at the remaining wolf meat, they felt that it would be a hassle to not process so much of it and take it with them.

Since everyone in the village wanted to stay for another day, they couldn't say anything more.

After all, they couldn't leave on their own, and thinking about Lin Weizhong's injury, it would be good for him to rest for one more day.

"Mom and Dad, since you've decided to stay for another day, you can stay here to help with the barbecue and take care of Xiaomei and the Lin family father and son. Caiyun, Xiaolu and I will continue to look around the surrounding areas!"

Lin Weizhong raised objections when he heard Liu Caixia's arrangement

"I'll go with you too. My injury is really not serious. There's nothing wrong with my right hand. After taking anti-inflammatory medicine, the wound on my back doesn't hurt as much as it did yesterday. Ke Yu will stay here with grandpa and grandma. He can also help with things within his ability and take care of the children!"

Before Lin Keyu could even say that he wanted to go with them, he was stopped by his father and had to give up.

Liu Caixia disagrees

"No, you don't need to go today. Rest for another day. The wound on your back is no joke. I'm keeping you here for another day so you can rest for another day."

"It's okay. My powers have been restored. I can help you with any problems! I'll just go out with you guys. I won't do anything else. I'll help you if you run into any danger."

It turns out that his super powers have been restored. No wonder he wants to follow him?

After hearing what he said, Liu Caixia did not insist and agreed to let him go with her.

Although Lin Weizhong's superpowers had recovered, his wounds were not small after all, so they did not run, but slightly quickened their pace.

They stood in this col and looked at the two mountains next to them, each one taller than the other. Fortunately, there was this col, otherwise they would not dare to try to cross such a vast forest.

Lin Weizhong, Liu Caixia and the other three adults plus Xiaolu walked towards the direction where they had encountered the wolf pack yesterday. They cleaned up any bloodstains they came across along the way.

It is also to prevent encountering any large animals again.

The weather was good during the day and the weather in the mountains was not that hot, but the sun was quite bright and made the entire forest bright.

After walking at this speed for less than an hour, we passed the place where we fought with the wolves and the big tiger yesterday.

Lin Weizhong went over to check the soil and dead grass and leaves on the ground and found no new traces, which meant that no other animals had turned over the soil.

The few of them did not stop and continued walking towards the forest. Along the way, Liu Caixia and her friends did not see any animals, but they did pick a lot of Chinese herbal medicines. Some were common ones they were familiar with, and some were unfamiliar ones that they collected from trees.

Liu Caixia asked Xiaolu to pack each Chinese herbal medicine in a plastic bag and put it in the space. Now there is no condition to process it and no place to sell it, so they can only accumulate it for future life.

They walked for more than an hour and came to a small mountain stream. There was actually a small puddle in the stream, which really shocked everyone. They only discovered it after they walked in.

There is a big puddle inside, but there is not much water left in the puddle. It looks like it is only two or three square meters in size. Now it can only be considered a small puddle.

A lot of weeds have grown around. Although the big puddle does not store water, the land is still relatively moist and full of weeds.

Liu Caixia decided to go back and tell the villagers, after all, their water supply was running low.

Now, more than ten days have passed since they last discovered mountain stream water, and there is no water left in the village these two days.

Most of the time, people in the village look for wild fruits and grass roots in the mountains to replenish water.

A lot less water is used for cooking.

Liu Caixia and her group couldn't stand it any longer and often drank water secretly to replenish their water.

She turned to the people she was traveling with and said, "Let's go back quickly and tell the village chief and fellow villagers about the situation here."

There is quite a lot of water here. With this water, maybe each family can get some water to wipe their bodies. Taking a bath is not realistic, but at least wiping themselves would be good.

Xiaolu grabbed her mother who was about to leave.

"Mom, let's boil some water and wash it first. We haven't washed it for almost two months. It's not comfortable to wipe it with wet wipes every day. And I want to wash my hair too!"

Liu Caixia saw that there were not many people and it was ok for each person to wash in a basin of water, so she agreed.

"Then bring out a pot, and let's boil some hot water for washing. Do you have a basin or something like that?"

"Yes, I collected some tin basins and the like from the supermarket before, so I'll just use them!"

After saying that, he took out two tin basins and a small pot. Liu Caiyun went to fetch water, while Liu Caixia and Lin Weizhong helped to build the stove and make a fire.

"Xiao Lu, see if you have any suitable cloth to make a curtain so we can cover ourselves when we take a bath!"

Xiao Lu took out a dark black bed sheet, and Liu Caixia found two trees, and the small trees next to each other could be used to surround the bed. She tied one end of the bed tightly with a rope, forming a square space that was just right for one person to stand in.

The three of them deftly hung the dark black sheets between two trees, and carefully adjusted the tightness of the rope to ensure that the curtain was both stable and maintain a certain degree of privacy.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, dappling onto this simple shower room, adding a bit of warmth and comfort to this simple environment.

"Okay, that should be about it."

Xiao Lu dusted off her hands and smiled with satisfaction.

Her smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, instantly dispelling the inconvenience and fatigue brought about by life in the wild.

Lin Weizhong also completed the construction of the stove. The flames jumped happily under the nourishment of dry firewood. The water in the small pot began to bubble, emitting a faint hot steam, and a fresh smell filled the air.

“Water is coming!”

Liu Caiyun came over carrying two buckets of clear water, panting but with a smile on her face.

She poured one bucket of water into the antimony basin and placed the other bucket carefully aside for use.

"Just go ahead and wash. I'll watch the fire and keep watch for you."

Lin Weizhong suggested, his eyes revealing consideration and respect for his partners.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all, as modern people's thinking is not that old-fashioned.

Moreover, he didn't have any dirty thoughts.

Liu Caixia looked at Lin Weizhong gratefully, then took Liu Caiyun and Xiaolu's hands and said softly, "Okay, thank you for your help. Let's get started. Xiaolu, you go first, and Caiyun and I will follow."

Xiao Lu nodded and walked happily into the simple shower room surrounded by bed sheets.

She gently poured the water on her body, and the warm feeling instantly dispelled the heat around her body, as if even her soul was purified.

She closed her eyes, enjoying this rare tranquility and freedom. In her ears were the singing of birds in the distant mountains and the gurgling of water nearby. Everything seemed so harmonious and beautiful.

Soon after, it was Liu Caixia and Liu Caiyun's turn. They also entered the shower room one by one, enjoying this simple yet precious cleaning time.

Lin Weizhong stood silently outside, adding firewood and fuel to the fire from time to time to ensure that the water temperature was always suitable, while also guarding their privacy and peace.

When the last person finished washing, the four of them sat around the fire, wiping their wet hair with towels, their faces filled with satisfied and happy smiles.

They shared their feelings with each other and talked about interesting things during the journey. Their faces illuminated by the fire looked particularly warm and vivid.

Liu Caixia did not let them use shower gel and shampoo because the smell was too strong. She used a piece of unscented soap to scrub their bodies vigorously twice. After washing, they felt relaxed.

Finally, they all looked at Lin Weizhong, as if thinking about what he should do.

"Forget it. It's true that I have an injury and it's inconvenient. You three are women and can't help me. Clean up here and go back to ask the villagers to fetch water!"

Liu Caixia did not force it. After cleaning up the battlefield and finding no flaws, she said

"You guys just stay here, I'll go back and call the villagers over!"

"Okay, stay safe on your own!"

They were not worried about Liu Caixia because they all knew how fast her body was and that she could still run away if she encountered danger.

Fortunately, Liu Caixia has a good sense of direction, otherwise getting lost in this deep mountain forest would be a big problem.

Liu Caixia herself was well aware of this. As she carefully walked along the forest trails, she observed her surroundings with her sharp eyes to make sure she did not miss any possible dangers.

The sunlight shone through the dense treetops, dappling onto her body, adding a touch of warmth to the quiet forest.

Liu Caixia took a deep breath. The air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and leaves, which relaxed her tense nerves a little.

As time goes by, Liu Caixia's steps become more determined.

With her good sense of direction, she was able to maneuver flexibly through the intricate forest paths.

Occasionally they would stop and look for the marks they had left on the tree trunks with a knife when they came, so that they could find their way back if they got lost.

After Liu Caixia left, the remaining three people also wandered around, and Lin Weizhong led the way with a machete.

Liu Caiyun walked behind with Xiaolu holding her hand.

The three of them walked for about half an hour and arrived at the other side of a mountain stream. There were weeds everywhere, but no tall trees.

Instead, there are some dead branches and broken trees. Perhaps after being eliminated by nature, it is impossible for large trees to grow on this hillside. However, there are many old trees growing around the mountain stream on the slope. Looking at the trunks, they are all old trees with a long history.

Several people walked along the hillside towards the lush trees. Suddenly, Lin Weizhong stopped and carefully shoveled away the dead branches and leaves with a machete.

"Does that look like Ganoderma? I think it does. It's much bigger than mushrooms, and its color is more purple-red?"

Liu Caiyun has recently been learning about herbal medicine from Liu Caixia, and she now knows quite a few herbs.

Including precious Chinese herbal medicines such as Nyingchi ginseng.

Lin Weizhong and Xiaolu followed the direction Liu Caiyun pointed and saw several broken tree stumps in the dead grass, with some large and small purple-red umbrella-shaped Ganoderma lucidum growing on them.

Lin Weizhong heard Liu Caiyun's words with a hint of uncertainty yet excitement that could not be concealed, and walked in the direction he pointed.

He carefully pushed aside the layers of dead leaves, fearing to disturb this unexpected treasure.

Upon hearing this, Liu Caiyun and Xiaolu hurried forward, curiosity and anticipation gleaming in their eyes.

"Really! This shape and color really do look like Ganoderma lucidum!"

Liu Caiyun squatted down and carefully looked at the fungus that was half exposed out of the soil. She lightly touched its edge, feeling its unique toughness and warmth.

Xiao Lu clapped her hands excitedly and whispered, "Wow, we found Ganoderma lucidum. Can we sell it for a lot of money?"

Lin Weizhong carefully cleared a gap on the hillside. The soil here was loose and moist, and he was afraid that there might be potholes covered by rotten grass, which would easily cause him to sprain his ankle if he stepped on it carelessly.

He continued to carefully clean the surrounding dirt and dead leaves with the machete until the entire Ganoderma lucidum was fully displayed before everyone.

This Ganoderma lucidum was a little bigger than they had imagined, with a thick cap, clear lines, and a faint herbal fragrance. It was obviously a top-quality one.

This was the first time they had encountered Ganoderma lucidum after entering the mountains for so long.

I used to see the heroines in TV novels encountering ginseng and precious medicinal herbs one after another. Why didn’t they encounter any of them?

God still favors them.
