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

The villagers still have seven wild boars. The harvest is bad now, and the wild boars are not as strong as in previous years. However, each wild boar has 200 kilograms of meat after removing the bones and internal organs. Huang Changyuan still finds it a little unreal that he has harvested more than 1,000 kilograms of meat in one go.

According to the more than ten people hunting today, each person will get five pounds of meat, and the rest will be arranged by the village.

The most surprising thing was that they only kept half of the wild boar that was given to the officials, and had the other half sent to Huang Changyuan for arrangement.

After Song Shiwei and Zhang Wu came back, they didn't care about anything and went straight back to the carriage. While Huang Changyuan was arranging everyone to catch the wild boar, the two were already sitting in the tent to rest.

Hearing the noisy sounds outside, Song Shi smiled, took out ice cubes from the space and added them into the basin, then went back into the space to wash up before coming out.

"Brother Song, Brother Zhang Wu, have you rested?"

Huang Hai was standing outside the tent carrying two pieces of wild boar meat. When he saw the two men coming out, he grinned and said, "My father said you guys worked hard today, so he asked me to bring you some meat. Everyone who went hunting today will get some."

Song Shi smiled and nodded, letting Zhang Wu accept it, then said, "Please send it over here. Is there anyone over there who needs help?"

"No, no, you have worked hard to hunt so many wild boars. The rest are just small things. There are many people in our village, so you don't need to help. My father said that we will eat wild boar meat together later. You can rest for a while. I will come to call you when it is ready."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After seeing Huang Hai off, Zhang Wu shook the pork in his hand and said with a smile, "It's quite heavy, probably about ten pounds. Master, you go in and have a rest. I'll pickle the pork as soon as possible, otherwise it will go bad."

Song Shiwei nodded in agreement, and before returning to his own tent, he put two pieces of ice in Zhang Wu's tent.

After all, he is one of us, so we should be nicer to him.

Anyway, I bought a lot of ice.

However, after being out for so long, Song Shiwei was really a little hungry, so as soon as he returned to his tent, he took out some pastries from the space.

We didn't consume much cooked food and pastries along the way, but we used ice cubes every day. There was still a lot left, so it was enough to get through the extreme heat.

After the extreme heat, there will be continuous heavy rains, and in some places there will even be flash floods. After that, there will be extreme cold and large-scale plague. It is not known whether we can reach the north before the plague.

If you can't think about it, don't think about it too much, so as not to cause yourself unnecessary trouble. After eating the pastries, Song Shiwei lay down directly, ready to take a nap while there was still time.

In Dahe Village, they are still busy dissecting wild boars. There is not much water in the village, so apart from using it to cook the meat, they can only use wood ash for cleaning, and then wipe it clean bit by bit with a towel.

Huang Changyuan had two wild boars cooked for the big pot of meat this time. As for the remaining wild boar meat, it would be distributed to each household after the meal, and each family would get at least one or two pounds.

On the exile side, Xie Hong and his son were talking with Shen Xian and his son. Because there was not enough water in the past two days, the other two branches of the Xie family did not make trouble, and everyone had a rare two days of leisure.

The four of them sat against a big tree, looking at the villagers of Dahe Village from afar.

Xie Hong looked around and his eyes fell on Zhang Wu who was pickling meat: "Are those two really unpredictable?"

Xie An nodded: "Brother Shen and I saw it with our own eyes. They killed two wild boars with one sword and one knife each. Especially Young Master Song, who seemed to have amazing hearing and could hear the movements five or six miles away. She also led us to hunt those wild boars, otherwise we would have returned empty-handed today."

Xie Hong's eyes suddenly lit up: "With such extraordinary hearing, if he were to use it on the battlefield, he would definitely be a vanguard general."

After saying this, Xie Hong seemed to realize that he had been exiled and was no longer the general of the Dali Dynasty.

Shen Xian knew what his friend was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "That person is afraid that he will hurt you. It's better not to be a general now. You have been on the battlefield for most of your life. Just be worthy of yourself and the people. Now you should stop and take a rest. We will watch coldly and see how that person makes you step into the abyss step by step."

Xie Hong sighed, "If it is beneficial to the country, life and death are of the essence. Why should we avoid it because of good or bad fortune? I am afraid that he will not live well, and will not let others live well. At the beginning, An'er advised me to hand in the military token as soon as possible, but when a powerful enemy invaded, how could I feel at ease to return to the capital? Who knew that it was that time that made him think that I had a rebellious heart, and now I have fallen into such a situation, and I have also implicated your family."

"It's pointless to talk about these things. Our two families are old friends, and we have been good friends for many years. How can he feel at ease when you are exiled and I am still in Beijing? Besides, I originally planned to step down in the next two years, and now it's just ahead of schedule. With Qianxue here, we will definitely reach the Northland safely."

Speaking of Shen Qianxue, Xie Hong showed a rare smile on his face: "That girl is a lucky one, this brat is marrying up."

Shen Xian laughed: "Then you have to keep an eye on your brat. If he bullies my daughter in the future, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between our two families."

Without waiting for Xie Hong to speak, Xie An quickly adjusted his attitude: "Uncle Shen, rest assured, I will do my best to treat Qianxue well and will not let her suffer any grievances."

Shen Xian nodded with satisfaction. This child grew up in front of him and he has the style of his father. Although the other two branches of the Xie family are not that good, the Xie family has a good tradition and values ​​rules. They are not like other families that have three wives and four concubines. The two children are childhood sweethearts and have been engaged since they were young. They also have feelings for each other. If they had not been exiled, they would have been married by now.

Thinking of this, Shen Xian couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Xie Hong adjusted his mood, turned around and saw that his friend was beginning to feel melancholy again. He was suddenly a little amused: "I have figured it out, why are you starting to feel melancholy again? Don't think about it. You have to walk your own path after all. Don't blame anyone. We are not young anymore. In the future, let nature take its course."

Shen Xian didn't say anything, just nodded.

Xie An and Shen Yan looked at each other, and saw resentment and anger in each other's eyes, and they smiled knowingly.

"Father, brother, Uncle Xie, what are you talking about?" Shen Qianxue came over with a smile on her face.

Xie An stepped forward, strode to Shen Qianxue, his eyes gentle, "I'm talking about that Mr. Song. I went hunting with them today and found that the two of them were very skilled."

"I have also heard from uncles and aunts in the village these past two days that Mr. Song is well-spoken and has his own way of speaking and doing things. He must be the son of a noble family. I just don't know which family can cultivate such an outstanding person."

Xie An felt a little jealous when his beloved woman praised the man so much. He changed the subject calmly: "Did something happen that you came to see us?"

Shen Qianxue smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing, I just didn't see you guys after I was busy. I didn't expect you guys to be here to relax. Mother thought you were going to do something. The official just sent a pig's hind leg, so I came to ask what you think."
