Two days later, Mu Chenghu and his party stopped by a small stream.

After three days in a row, everyone was tired, so Mu Chenghu chose to stop and rest during the day.

Mu Chenghu asked the others to rest first, and Wei Ran, Li Tiezhu, and Mu Chengtian brothers stayed to observe, and immediately woke everyone up in case of any danger.

In the afternoon, after Mu Chenghu woke up, he immediately arranged for Wei Ran and a few people to rest, and ordered everyone to set up the tent.

In the evening, after eating, Mu Chenghu gathered the people of the two villages to discuss where to go next.

"Now we can't go south, let's see where we're going next?" Mu Chenghu spread the map on the ground.

The elders of Mujia Village and several juniors with high prestige in the village all came closer to see each other, while only the old village chief of Yanjia Village came over.

It's not that the people in Yanjia Village don't care about this matter, it's just that only the old village chief and the other two young people in Yanjia Village are literate.

The old village chief looked at the half-salary and said, "Brother Mu, how you go next, we will go." ”

In fact, the old village chief only knew some words, but he couldn't understand such things as maps. It's just a matter of hard work at this point.

"Third child, let's go here! It's an easy place to defend and hard to attack. Mu Chengru pointed to a place on the map and said.

The few people next to him looked at the place where Mu Chengru was pointing, and their eyes lit up.

It's just that a few people looked at the distance from here to there, and their eyes darkened again, for no other reason, everyone's food couldn't support everyone to get there.

"I'm afraid we won't be able to go to that place at the right time, let's make the preparations first!" Mu Chenghu said this vaguely.

Several people next to him knew what Mu Chenghu meant, but no one asked, after all, there were people from Yanjia Village next to him.

The old village chief asked a little uncertainly, "Do we need to prepare something?" ”

"There are still a lot of wounded, and there are not enough medicinal materials, so we have to prepare some before we can go on the road, after all, this road is very dangerous." Mu Qingliu gave a convincing reason.

Although the old village chief couldn't read the map, he always felt that things were not so simple.

In the end, the purpose of this meeting was not achieved, after all, Mu Chenghu and others could not go anywhere without solving the food problem.

After the meeting ended, Mu Chenghu asked Mu Ergou and Mu Qing to stand guard outside the tent, and he had a small meeting in the tent with the people who were looking at the map just now.

"Or, let the others go next door and see how much food they have, and if there is more, we'll buy some from them." Mu Qingliu said with illusions.

"Third uncle, I don't think this will work, there have been precautions against us for a long time." Mu Chengru hasn't forgotten the defensive eyes of Yanjia Village in the past few days.

"So what should we do now?" Mu Qingshan said anxiously.

"Let's kill my donkey first! During this period of continuous travel, my donkey is not very good. Mu Chengru said with some distress.

Mu Chenghu looked at his second brother's face, and naturally knew that he didn't want to, who didn't know what Mu Chengru was like to his donkey all the way, but now there is no way.

Mu Chenghu was ruthless and said, "Okay, let the king butcher kill it tomorrow." ”

Mu Qingliu asked, "It's just that in the next village, do you want to divide them a little?" ”

"No, we don't have enough to divide what they do, and we have to be almost the same in their kindness along the way, not to mention that most of the people who were injured in our village last time were injured because of protecting them." Mu Chenghu said resolutely.

"Indeed, since the death of two old men, I have privately heard people over there discussing whether we deliberately did not save them." Mu Chenggui, an honest man, suddenly said this.

After hearing this, Mu Qingshan said angrily, "Hehe, Chenghu reminded them that they just escaped the flood. We told them about Artemisia annua to prevent the plague, and we really don't owe them anything, even at this moment we didn't have the idea of beating them. It is truly infuriating that they should look at us like this. ”

"If they want, let them exchange food." Mu Qingyuan, who had not spoken, said suddenly.

Mu Chenghu nodded after hearing this.

Not to mention how Mu Chenghu arranged it, as soon as Yanjia Village returned to the tent, the old village chief immediately convened an emergency meeting of the prestige people in the village.

"Village Chief, do we have to go with them?" One of the few scholars in Yanjia Village asked.

"I don't want to, either, but the problem is that we don't have much labor in our village. Without them, we would have struggled to go on. The old village chief said helplessly.

"I think we need to be separated from them, something really happened. They can't take care of themselves, so how can they take care of us. Another reader said.

"Yes, the last time we injured so many people, but few of them were injured, it is the best illustration." A young man in Yanjia Village said.

The old village chief saw that the more people talked, the more ridiculous it became, and immediately interrupted, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be here at all." ”

"Village Chief, even if they were really good to us before, but they first accepted our affection, but now they don't owe us anything. They are now short of food, and they will not have any ideas. The first reader analyzed seriously.

The words of these people had a lot of impact on the old village chief.

Halfway through, the old village chief said in a deep voice, "In the past two days, I'll find an opportunity to tell them that everyone will go separately." But have you ever thought about where you're going next? ”

The old village chief's words stopped a few people.

"Old village chief, why don't we find a better place to settle down in this deep mountain, and then we will go out when the world is settled." The first reader to speak said, looking at the surrounding mountains.

The others had no objection to his proposal, firstly, because they did not have a map in their hands, and even if they did, no one would look at it, and secondly, this place was indeed safer than outside.

Mu Chenghu thought about it all night, but he still felt that it was not cost-effective to kill Mu Chengru's donkey like this.

As soon as the morning dawned, Mu Chenghu found the two Mu Chengtian brothers.

Mu Chenghu patted Mu Chengtian on the shoulder and said, "Chengtian, do you think this place can hit prey?" ”

Mu Chengtian thought about the current situation, and said with some embarrassment, "Village chief, this place can indeed hunt, but my two brothers can't solve the problem." ”

"I've thought about this question, you two brothers each bring a team of men and horses into the mountain, and Uncle Wei also brings a team of men and horses into the mountain. Then, arrange for the people who have dug traps with you to dig some traps around here. Half of the children gave me to catch fish in the creek, and all the women went to find me wild vegetables. "Mu Chenghu, there is no way out.

After hearing this, the two Mu Chengtian brothers immediately turned around and beckoned a few people to go up the mountain.

After the two Mu Chengtian brothers left, Mu Chenghu quickly arranged the matter.

The people who watched Mu Chenghu's side in Yanjia Village were basically let out, and they were a little afraid that Mu Chenghu and his party would not be good for them.

The old village chief called a few juniors and asked them to bring some people to pick wild vegetables behind Mu Chenghu's people. In fact, they were asked to monitor Mu Chenghu and the others, and if they found anything wrong, they would come back and report immediately.
