Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Song Shi's micro tent was located at the innermost part of the wing, while Zhang Wu's tent was set up at the door to prevent any movement outside.

For the entire afternoon, everyone rested in the dilapidated temple. The sun was high in the sky, and just by looking outside from inside the house, one could see the distorted heat waves in the air. If they continued to travel in such weather, it would be tantamount to giving up their lives.

It was so hot that the consumption of ice was high. Fortunately, Song Shiwei bought two thousand kilograms of ice at the beginning, and then added several thousand kilograms later. In addition, Cao Gouzei also bought a lot of ice, otherwise there would be no share for Zhang Wu.

In a daze, Song Shiwei seemed to hear some noise outside, but since he didn't hear anyone arguing, he didn't get up and fell into a deep sleep.

When the sun gradually set and the heat dissipated a lot, when Song Shiwei woke up again, it was already time for dinner. He opened the tent and went out, just in time to see Zhang Wu busy cooking.

"Master, you are awake. The meal will be ready soon."

Song Shi nodded slightly, stretched himself and walked to the door. He saw the villagers cooking outside the main hall. They all had a long-lost smile on their faces. He was a little surprised for a moment.

Zhang Wu glanced at his master and said cheerfully, "In the afternoon when the sun was not shining, the village chief asked people to go to the back mountain to find water. Many people went and actually found a water source in the mountain. The hunter in the village also went to the mountain to kill a wild boar, so everyone was happy."

"That's very good."

"It's good. Everyone doesn't have much water. If we can't find water, we can only hold on for two days. When the master was sleeping, the village chief asked his son to send a bucket of water. I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it."

Song Shiwei then turned his gaze to his own water bucket. It was indeed full of water, but it was a little turbid. However, in the current weather, even if it was turbid, it was still life-saving water.

"Did you say when to leave?"

Zhang Wu nodded: "There is still a lot of water in the water source in the mountains. The village chief said that we should rest here for a day and set off early tomorrow morning."

At this point, Zhang Wu was happy: "I think the hunters in the village want to go to the mountains to hunt game. Master, do you think we should go there too?"

Song Shiwei turned his head to look at him, smiling: "I think your hands are itching."

Zhang Wu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.

Song Shiwei added: "I don't want to move in such a hot day. If you want to go, just follow them. Your own safety is the most important thing."

Zhang Wu's eyes lit up and he said with full energy: "Okay."

For dinner, Zhang Wu cooked a pot of pheasant, fried a plate of wild vegetables, and steamed a clay pot of rice. Both of them ate while sweating profusely.

Huang Hai came over with a big bowl of wild boar meat. Seeing that the two were already having dinner, he said with a smile, "It seems that I am not too late. The village killed a big wild boar this afternoon. My father asked someone to cook a big pot of rice. He knew that the two brothers did not like to be with a lot of people, so he did not call you. Look, everyone asked me to bring a bowl over."

Zhang Wu glanced at his master, and seeing that he had no objection, he quickly stood up and took the wild boar meat with a bright smile on his face: "Thank you very much, Brother Hai, please go back and thank everyone for me and my master."

Huang Hai waved his hand: "What is there to thank for? We are the ones who should be thanking. Without the two brothers, we wouldn't be where we are now. Don't say such polite words again in the future. Okay, I'm going back to eat now. If I don't go back, I'm afraid they won't leave me any broth."

Zhang Wu sent Huang Hai out, and waited until they returned to the main hall before returning. He placed a large bowl of wild boar meat in the middle of the food and grinned, "The people of Dahe Village are really honest. The village chief looks so smiling, but I didn't expect him to be such a shrewd person."

Song Shiwei smiled and nodded: "If you don't have a clear mind, how can you convince so many villagers? Just take good care of it. If you need help, you can also help."

"Okay, I see."

Song Shiwei only ate four or five pieces of wild boar meat in the bowl, and finally all of it went into Zhang Wu's stomach. He even had the audacity to say that Song Shiwei didn't like it at first glance.

Song Shiwei: (?????????)

After dinner, Zhang Wu washed the bowls and returned them to the village chief's house. He also mentioned his plan to go hunting in the mountains with the hunters. Several hunters had seen Zhang Wu's skills and were very happy. They said they could not wait to do so.

A group of ten people, some holding bows and arrows, some holding axes, were ready and headed towards the back mountain.

Huang Changyuan and the others stood in the ruined temple and watched them go. When they were out of sight, he waved and said, "That's enough. No one is around anymore. Let's go back. The people who are fetching water will go there soon. Try to fill up everything in your home that can hold water. We'll be on the road tomorrow morning."

After greeting everyone, Huang Changyuan glanced at where Song Shiwei was, then turned to his eldest son and whispered, "Before everyone comes back, keep an eye on Young Master Song and don't let anyone disturb him."

Huang Ping nodded: "I understand, Dad. Please come into the house quickly. Although the sun has set, it is still hot."

"Hey, you little brat, now you're asking me, your father, to help you."

Huang Ping smiled and turned to arrange for people to fetch water.

After dinner, Song Shiwei left the dilapidated temple without attracting other people's attention. He walked around the temple slowly and returned only after digesting his food.

The ice in the tent had melted and heat was gradually rising. Song Shiwei hurriedly took out two pieces of ice from the space and placed them in the jar. Then he took out a few bamboo tube drinks from the space and placed them on the ice. After they were chilled, he returned them to the space and continued to take out other drinks. He repeated this several times before stopping.

Zhang Wu was not there, and Song Shiwei was afraid that someone would come over, so he just went into the space to take a shower and came out, half lying on the bedding with his eyes closed, organizing the supplies in the static area.

The people who went out to fetch water came back talking and laughing. The village chief's two sons, the second son Huang Hai went out hunting with the hunters, the eldest son Huang Ping also took people out to collect firewood, and the youngest daughter Huang Ying followed the village women to pick wild vegetables.

When Song Shiwei heard someone coming, her eyes opened instantly.

"Xiao Song, are you there?"

Hearing the village chief's voice, Song Shiwei opened the tent and walked out: "Village chief, are you looking for me?"

Huang Changyuan nodded with a smile and handed over the small cloth bag in his hand: "Just now, the villagers dug up a lot of wild ginger and brought some to you. Oh, by the way, when Xiao Zhang comes back, ask him to go to my house to fetch water. He fetched a lot of water this time."

Song Shiwei was not polite and took the bag with a smile: "Thank you, Village Chief, for sending it. I won't be polite to you. It just so happens that I have finished eating all the ginger here. Thank you everyone."

"It's just a few things, not worth thanking for. When we're out, we should take care of each other. Besides, with you and Xiao Zhang joining our team, everyone feels more at ease."

Song Shi's smile deepened: "Since we are taking care of each other, if the village chief needs anything, just tell us."

Huang Changyuan's cloudy eyes were full of smiles, and he kept nodding: "Okay, okay, then I'll go back first."
