Chapter 70: Mr. Pei, Who Came From Afar!

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There were actually many people in the refugee camp who knew how to hunt.
After Pei Qian instructed someone to explain the predicament they would face next, many people packed up and entered the mountain without any hesitation.
As for those who didn’t have any hunting skills, Pei Qian didn’t really ignore them.
Those who were unwilling to stay in the camp without contributing could also follow the experienced sergeants into the mountains and listen to their arrangements to hunt together. Although the gains might not be that much, it was at least better than doing nothing.
With such an arrangement, there were basically no complaints in the refugee camp.
After all, the memory of the days when they didn’t have enough to eat was too fresh. Now that the men had entered the mountain, the women began to think of ways to search for edible wild vegetables and fruits.
There were also bold women who went to the stream through the valley to see if they could catch live fish here.
The entire refugee camp was peaceful and harmonious.
Lin Suisui was sitting under a yellow poplar tree beside the ox cart. She had sewn the rabbit skin she had accumulated previously into a whole piece with needles and thread. It was the best way to keep warm.
If there were more, she wanted to make a small vest.
When the sound of hooves sounded on the dirt road outside the camp, she was the first to look up.
A group of cavalry came into view. The leader was dressed in black and looked familiar. Although it only flashed past her vision quickly, Lin Suisui didn’t miss the murderous look in his eyes.
After about ten minutes, Lin Suisui saw an ox cart surrounded by soldiers on horses.
The ox cart wasn’t moving fast, because the carriage covered by the tarpaulin above was full.
If she wasn’t wrong, this should be the food that Lu Ze had mentioned to her when he returned yesterday. The Imperial Court had sent reinforcements to give them, the refugees, food.
Looking at the dozen ox carts piled with food, Lin Suisui heaved a sigh of relief.
With this food and the mountain prey they had hunted in the past few days, at least no matter how difficult it was for them during the next period, they wouldn’t encounter the tragic situation they did in the sandstorm.
With her worries relieved, Lin Suisui worked faster.
Unlike Lin Suisui, Pei Qian had an unpleasant expression ever since Du Yuanyi arrived. He only knew that the Imperial Court would arrange for people to escort rations over, but he didn’t expect the person to be Du Yuanyi.
He was the heir of the Duke’s Estate, and Du Yuanruo’s older brother!
“I didn’t expect you to be the one to come over.”
Pei Qian didn’t hide his unhappiness after seeing Du Yuanyi. He sneered coldly as he ordered him to leave. “Alright, the things have been delivered. We’re traveling north, so the road ahead won’t be easy. There’s no need for you to continue sending us off!
“By the way, when you return, bring your brother along! He suffered from the plague previously and hasn’t recovered yet. If he continues traveling to the north with me, since it’s so dangerous there, the risk is too great!”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Pei.” Du Yuanyi sat opposite Pei Qian. He looked over with a smile and said coldly, “My useless brother has already troubled you a lot along the way.
Therefore, my family instructed me to send the rations over this time because they wanted me to make up for my brother’s mistakes!
At the same time, I can also supervise my brother so that he can at least complete this mission! How can he return halfway without completing this mission?!”
This wasn’t the first time Du Yuanyi and Pei Qian had worked together, so they were naturally used to such confrontations.
After saying this, he didn’t want to stay any longer. He stood up and cupped his hands politely at Pei Qian. Then, he turned around and left without looking back.
Pei Qian stared at Du Yuanyi’s back as he left. The anxiety and frustration on his face had long disappeared and the initial calmness had returned.
“Qian He, Gu Erlang also entered the mountains today?!”
He sat behind the long table for a moment before looking up to call Qian He, who was standing at the door.
Qian He bowed, then replied respectfully and quickly, “Yes, he entered the mountain early in the morning. However, Madam Liu didn’t follow him this time. She didn’t go out with the other women to look for wild vegetables either. She stayed by the ox cart to sew the rabbit skin they had accumulated along the way.
I heard that she’s planning to make a blanket. If there’s any left, she can also make a vest.”
Pei Qian raised his eyebrows and laughed heartily. “Didn’t you have a few good quality skins previously?! Send them to her now!
That fox skin wasn’t bad. Although the color of its fur was mixed, it was good for making a scarf or sleeve!
Go yourself!
“Tell Madam Liu that the pheasant soup she brewed last time wasn’t bad!”
Although Qian He was also puzzled by Mr. Pei’s attitude towards the country girl doctor, he knew his limits and didn’t ask directly. He turned around to leave.
After Du Yuanyi left Pei Qian’s tent, he rushed towards Du Yuanruo’s tent.
Ever since he had been threatened by Pei Qian a few times in a row, Du Yuanruo had been extremely obedient during this period of time. It was very cold outside at this moment, so he simply stayed in the tent and drank wine and ate meat. Although the environment was tough, he actually gained weight.
When he heard that Du Yuanyi had personally sent the ration over, Du Yuanruo had a bad feeling. At this moment, he was panicking, like a rat that had been discovered stealing, and he wanted to escape from the tent.
However, just as he lifted the curtain, he bumped into Du Yuanyi.
Du Yuanruo subconsciously cried out in surprise. In the next moment, he was sent flying back to the tent by Du Yuanyi. His cry turned into a scream as he knocked over the tables and chairs in the tent and fell to the ground.
“Trash!” Du Yuanyi walked in front of Du Yuanruo and glanced at Du Yuanruo, who was shouting in pain on the ground, with disdain and dissatisfaction. He couldn’t understand how he had such a younger brother!
“Look at all the trouble you caused! Even if Pei Qian is the reincarnation of the devil, you can’t possibly have no way to deal with him, right?!
Where’s your usual wittiness? Did it all go to waste?!”
