With absolute force, how could Village Chief Wang dare to refuse? Qingfeng is still standing in front of him holding a sword.

He hurriedly said to the villagers: "Hurry up and get food!" He didn't see that his life was still in the hands of others.

Qingfeng and the others carried five hundred catties of grain away.

Knowing that her son was beaten, Mei Yufeng, the wife of Village Chief Wang, ran over staggeringly, and when she saw the eldest son lying unconscious on the ground, she burst into tears and cursed, "Who killed a thousand swords, and gave birth to a son without a dry eye!" Yes, my son, my poor son..."

Village head Wang held a few pieces of silver in his hand, his eyes were scarlet, and he shouted at Mei Yufeng angrily: "Why are you crying, why don't you go to Dr. Li!"

Across a hill, Mei Yufeng's earth-shattering cry could be heard clearly, Bai Wutong frowned, a little worried.

Not long after, Qingfeng and the others came back. Seeing the grain bags on their shoulders, everyone was happy for a moment. After finding that there were only a few bags of grain, everyone's smiles froze again.

Bai Wutong led everyone to meet him, "Is this the food?"

Village Chief Zhao sighed: "Only these, and because of these grains, they fought with Tianlin Village next door."

Knowing the cause and effect, Bai Wutong frowned tightly, with such bad neighbors, even if Qingfeng frightened them once today, I'm afraid he will find other things next time.

The food was too little, so Zhao Pengfei took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'm going hunting. The forest is quite deep, so there must be good things."

Immediately after him, some villagers stood up and said, "We also have hunting experience. We can also set traps and make traps. We can always bring back some prey."

There is no way to go hunting in the mountains. Village Chief Zhao agreed, "Squirrels hide food for the winter, and we can dig squirrel holes."

Aunt Yang said optimistically: "If we can meet bamboo forests and dig winter bamboo shoots, we can dig out a piece of land now and plant some radishes."

"On the way I came here, I saw that farmers here grow radishes in winter. We can't wait. We can eat radish seedlings first, and persist for at most two months. There will be more things to eat in spring."

The radish seedlings filled their stomachs, even so, everyone was comforted by Aunt Yang's words.

As long as you grit your teeth and persist for two months, everything will be fine.

How can you build a house if you don’t have enough to eat?

Cultivate land, dig ditches, plow...

All of these piles are jobs that can only be done when they are full, and there must be food.

Bai Wutong looked at Qingfeng, "I don't have any in this village, so I went to other villages and asked door to door. If there were no other villages, I went to a place farther away to buy."

"Yes."

The half-grown child Zhao Lei approached Bai Wutong and said firmly, "Ma'am, I can go to the town to find a job to support myself."

The bandits killed his parents. He was helped by the villagers all the way here, but he is most grateful to the Bai Wutong family. If it weren't for them, the villagers who kindly gave him food would not be able to survive.

The other children and even the younger ones stood up when they saw Zhao Lei, clenched their fists with burning eyes and said, "Let's go too, we won't waste food at home."

The children are so sensible, yet so sad.

The servants of the Cui family also stood up at this time and said, "We will go too." If the master's family hadn't been on their way to them and never left them, they wouldn't be able to live until now. They don't have enough food, so they can't stay and drag the master's family down. .

Cui Shiji frowned: "There are so many people, Wogan Town wants a few of you, stay honest, stay and work hard, and the food will be found."

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at him, as if asking what to do.

Cui Shiji said: "The Magistrate of Qu County in Pingyang County is our best friend, maybe he can borrow some food."

Qinghe is a gifted scholar, and the magistrate of Qu County in Pingyang County basically studied in Qinghe since he was a child. He has a close relationship with Cui Shize and Cui Shize. Cui Shiji thinks that he should be able to find a way to lend them some food.

"Pingyang County is three days away from here, and it takes at least a week to go back and forth. We only need to buy this week's grain first to survive."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes lit up. If this is the case, it would be great.

But Bai Wutong felt that it was too early to be happy, and people's hearts were unpredictable. What if his friend didn't borrow it? Now the government is very strict in controlling food. As the head of a county, would he take risks for them?

Bai Wutong thought for a while and said: "If there is any accident, you can buy food from the village on the way. It doesn't matter if the price is more expensive, as long as you can survive this winter."

Cui Shiji and the others understood the meaning of Bai Wutong's words. Qu Yuanxian might not lend them food. They thought it was impossible, but they didn't refute Bai Wutong's words. It was indeed safe to prepare with both hands.

Late at night, after dinner, the Cui family set off for Pingyang County overnight.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao huddled in the tent, one corner of the tent was probably not tied properly, the wind came in, she felt cold, she wanted to get up from Chu Tianbao's arms, to tuck the corner of the tent.

As soon as she moved, Chu Tianbao opened his sleepy eyes and asked hoarsely, "My lady, why don't you sleep?"

Bai Wutong covered him with a quilt, "Go to bed first, I'll be right back."

She got up from the quilt and walked to the corner, Chu Tianbao arched the quilt and sat up to look at her.

Bai Wutong stuffed the corners of the leaking tent and left the warm blanket. After a while, his hands and feet became cold.

She blew a breath of hot air on her hands to relieve the stiffness, and when she turned around, she saw Chu Tianbao wrapped in a quilt, with a pair of big dark eyes staring at her with a smile.

In an instant, my heart beat faster.

Bai Wutong walked over, "I told you to sleep first."

Chu Tianbao giggled, stretched out his big warm hands, pulled her into his arms, wrapped her tightly with a quilt, and covered her little feet with his big feet.

The chill on Bai Wutong's body soon disappeared.

Bai Wutong leaned on his chest, listened to his strong heartbeat, looked at Chu Tianbao's bearded chin, and sighed in his heart.

After the house was repaired, Chu Tianbao had to sleep separately from her as soon as possible.

Bai Wutong closed her eyes again, and Chu Tianbao's fiery body pressed against her tightly, she was a little used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Suddenly, Chu Tianbao pressed against her ear and asked expectantly, "My lady?"

"Um?"

"Are we home?"

Bai Wutong replied without opening his eyes: "Hmm."

Hearing this, Chu Tianbao poked his head under her eyes and said cheerfully: "Then let's have a good time now!"

Bai Wutong's drowsiness seemed to be blown away by a thunderbolt, he opened his eyes suddenly, and was caught off guard, and warm moisture came from his lips.

Chu Tianbao blinked ignorantly, and accidentally put his hand where it shouldn't be.

Thunder was rolling in his mind, seeing Tianbao and her current situation clearly, Bai Wutong suddenly changed his face, and pushed Chu Tianbao away suddenly, "Go to sleep!" The panic in his tone was unprecedented.

Chu Tianbao stuck to it again in an instant, and said persistently: "The lady said that she will have a bad relationship with Tianbao when she gets home."
