During this year of famine, everyone was struggling to survive. Regardless of whether they had any prior hunting experience, people formed small groups of three or five and swarmed into the mountains, hoping to find some game to fill their growling stomachs. Xu Village was located in a remote area with rugged mountain paths, which had kept outsiders from flooding in for the time being. Even so, the amount of game in the surrounding forests had dwindled significantly, making hunting much harder.
Xu Feng was deeply worried about this, fretting daily over when this natural disaster would end. He could only hope that everything would return to normal by next year; otherwise, he truly did not know what to do. After all, the villagers had lived together for decades, and they were all neighbors who saw each other every single day. Xu Feng could not bear to see anyone fall into hardship because of this disaster, yet he felt powerless, unable to do much in the face of such a calamity.
Seeing Li Xiurong and Xushu arrive, Xu Feng’s face lit up with warmth, and he hurried forward to greet them.
