Rebirth: The whole family travels through time together: Fubao Koi is busy eating melons

"Thank you so much, Mrs. Zhang."

Everyone expressed their gratitude to Xu Liyun.

"As long as you are safe, let's go up the mountain to eat something and have a good rest."

Xu Liyun responded calmly, feeling relieved.

She watched the last group of villagers leave with gentle eyes. Only Zhang Laoer, the elderly Guo Lao and a patrol member who had just changed shifts were left in the shed. Xu Liyun's eyes involuntarily wandered between the three of them, her heart filled with endless curiosity and speculation about the mysterious night last night.

Facing Xu Liyun's intuitive questioning as a doctor, regarding the plague that terrified people, Mr. Guo had no intention of concealing the slightest bit. Instead, he used his slightly old but still clear voice to slowly unfold every detail of what happened last night in front of Xu Liyun like a scroll.

In the story, the tense atmosphere seems to be able to penetrate the cracks of time, making the listeners hold their breath and concentrate involuntarily.

After listening to this, Xu Liyun subconsciously touched the medicine bag she carried with her. The few herbs left in it made her frown, and a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.

"Mr. Guo, our stock of medicinal materials is running low. If a plague really breaks out, I personally think that going into the mountains to collect medicine is our best option at the moment."

Her voice was soft, but every word was firm.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Guo's brows twisted into a knot.

The last time I went up the mountain was just for the herbs that were easy to find in the periphery, but now things are different. It is difficult to find even a complete leaf in those places.

"This..." The old man seemed a little embarrassed. It was obvious that this problem had troubled him for a long time.

Zhang Laoer, seeing this, put forward his own opinion at the right time, with a relaxed tone but with an affirmation that could not be ignored: "Mr. Guo, I support Dr. Jiang's suggestion. Our village has suffered a disaster, and the situation in the mountains and forests must be similar. But the risk is not great. In addition, the weather has been sunny in the past few days, and the wild vegetables in the mountains should also begin to grow luxuriantly, which can add a bit of freshness to our monotonous diet."

His words seemed like a reassurance, and also revealed his expectations for the trip to Qingling Mountain.

When Mr. Guo heard this, he seemed to have found a way out of the problem, and he immediately and skillfully transferred the responsibility to Zhang Laoer: "If that's the case, then let's do it. Mr. Zhang, I'll leave this matter to you to arrange. It's better for me, an old man, to stay here and look after the house."

Zhang Laoer was stunned for a moment, a wry smile appeared on his lips, but he secretly complained in his heart: "This is really difficult for me! There are still many strong men in the village who can take on such a task."

He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to join in the fun with everyone else, and maybe be lucky enough to hunt some game. Although there was no shortage of meat at home, it was always good to have one more portion.

"No one is more suitable for this task than you. The more capable you are, the more work you should do! It's decided. I'll go notify everyone to gather. Don't delay too long, the two of you."

After saying this, Mr. Guo walked slowly up the mountain, leaving Zhang Laoer and Xu Liyun looking at each other in bewilderment.

Zhang Laoer turned to Xu Liyun, his face full of helplessness, as if he was confessing his inner pain to his wife: "Liyun, look at this..."

Xu Liyun responded with an understanding smile, with a gentle light in her eyes: "Mr. Guo is right, those who are capable should do more work."

Her smile is both encouragement and comfort.

Looking at his wife's trusting smile, Zhang Laoer had to force himself to accept it even though he was unwilling.

When other people in the village learned that Mr. Guo was going to organize another trip up the mountain, they all felt like they had taken stimulants. Their previous dissatisfaction and hesitation were swept away, and were replaced by unprecedented enthusiasm and anticipation.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Laoer at the same time, and the message in their eyes was obvious: this time, he still needed to take the lead.

As for others, they will definitely not accept it.

Zhang Laoer remained calm on the surface, with even a faint smile on his lips. No one could see any reluctance or dissatisfaction in his expression.

Xu Liyun also responded with a smile. To outsiders, it seemed that she was proud of her husband's ability to take on such a heavy responsibility. But only she herself understood that the secret joy in her heart came from the satisfaction that the family could win more respect in the village and live a smoother life.

This time, she took the initiative to participate in such affairs, firstly for the family's status in the village, and secondly because she hoped that life would be smoother.

The last time she went into the mountains to avoid the flood, she didn't actually do too much heavy work, but instead made some practical suggestions.

Zhang Laoer is not the kind of person who is so selfless as to completely disregard himself and only think about others.

As a shrewd businessman, talking to him about selfless dedication and self-sacrifice is simply a fantasy and a big joke.

However, strangely, in the eyes of the villagers, he became such a person.

He could have stayed out of this trip up the mountain, but Xu Liyun's words that she wanted to go made him agree without thinking, and so things naturally fell on his head.

Since his wife was thinking about it so much, he had no choice but to comply with her expectations.

Under everyone's eager gaze, Zhang Laoer said helplessly: "Our stock of herbs is almost exhausted. This trip is mainly to collect medicines and some wild vegetables. Of course, if the men are lucky enough to encounter prey on the road, we will naturally not miss such a good opportunity."

This sentence was like a spark, instantly igniting everyone's passion.

In the past, when they went up the mountain, they were always nervous, fearing danger, but now, even if they really encountered large wild animals, they were not afraid at all.

After all, although there are not many hunters in the village, each of them is an expert, not to mention that many hands make light work.

The last bumper harvest undoubtedly gave everyone infinite confidence.

"Master Zhang, I think we should let the group of people from last time go. They all have experience."

Liu Mao was a man of outspoken thoughts. Before he had even finished his words, many people around him rolled their eyes silently, obviously dissatisfied with his proposal.

His eldest brother quickly pulled his collar, signaling him to shut up, his eyes full of helplessness towards his younger brother.

In his heart, his brother Liu Mao's "honesty" really gave him a headache. How could he not annoy others when he spoke without thinking?

"Amao, that's not the case. Just because you went there last time, we should give others a chance this time."

Someone immediately retorted, and was echoed by many people.

"Yes, we should rotate."

"Why change? We are experienced and much better than you newbies."

Liu Mao argued loudly, and although he was alone against the majority, he was not at all inferior in momentum.

However, others were not to be outdone.

"We all grew up at the foot of Qingling Mountain. Who doesn't know how to get to Qingling Mountain?"

someone retorted.
