Chapter 98 - All Meat

There were more than a dozen stone coffins of various sizes in the ancient tomb, and they were surrounded by white bones. In this extremely cold place, everyone shivered.

“I don’t know who’s so vicious that they’re actually buried together with him. Let’s go out. Ordinary people can’t touch this kind of tomb.” Guan Yi pondered for a moment and frowned.

“It’s not like we haven’t made a fortune from the dead before, but this place is really too strange. Let’s go out.” Someone followed and spoke. Wu Tielong pursed his lips and did not speak. A bold guess appeared in his heart. When he went up to push open the stone coffin, he could not maintain his calm expression. He was so shocked that he could not close his mouth for a long time.

“The evil one isn’t the tomb’s owner, it’s our village chief,” Wu Tielong spat out these words after a long time. The others looked at each other and hurried forward. They saw gray hares and countless frozen birds frozen in the stone coffins.

Seeing this, the others pushed open the rest of the coffins. “Boss, there’s a wild boar here!”

“There’s a river deer in this stone coffin. It’s a fat river deer, and it’s all frozen! I’m afraid they were put in just as winter came.” Guan Yi’s eyes were shining with excitement. There were sixteen coffins of various sizes in this ancient tomb, and all of them were filled with meat! This was a natural refrigerator! And looking at the situation, these things were hidden by the wild beasts on the mountain. Looking at the footprints, it was likely that there was more than one kind of wild beast hiding in there.

“These animals are amazing. They have already hoarded food in advance before the natural disaster. I’m afraid that these animals can still live for a few months even when the people in this village starve to death.” Someone sighed.

“Alright, hurry up and move them. Leave three coffins untouched.” Wu Tielong waved his hand to get his men to work, but the shock in his heart could not be any greater. If it could be said that he had stayed in Happy Village half-willingly and half-forcefully, he could not help but be frightened after seeing what Jiang Xi had done.

The group of people barely managed to move things away. When they went down the mountain, they did not forget to take a look at the marked trees. Good heavens, they did not even let go of the squirrel’s stored food?

Wu Tielong thought that they would be able to attract the attention of the villagers when they returned, but he did not expect that when they returned, the villagers would all be busy driving the ox-cart to transport the grains. They were so tired in the snow that their foreheads were covered in sweat. Some curious people went forward and took a few glances at the frozen meat they brought back. Unexpectedly, they only made an exaggerated ‘ah’ and were surprised that there was meat. Then, they hurried off to transport the grains.

Wu Tielong thought that they would be welcomed by the entire village, or rather, they would be welcomed by the shocked gazes of the entire village. However, there was none, not a single one. They suddenly felt that they were too unpresentable. Their shocked expressions when they discovered the meat was truly foolish. They were not calm at all.

Food and frozen meat filled the ancestral hall, and the village had sent more than 30 young men to protect them. At this moment, they could not help but rejoice that they were not in contact with the outside world. If this news were to spread, their village would be swallowed up by people. Their village chief, Jiang Xi, was taking a walk outside when she discovered the food.

Of course, all the families in the village took out their stored food and had a full meal. Some of them even steamed a few pieces of cured meat. It was so fragrant that the entire village drooled. The Happy Village was immersed in joy.

However, the animals on the snowy mountain and in the fields wailed for an entire night. The humans did not even let off the granaries of the beasts! These shameless humans!

Jiang Xi’s wild boar was also in tears. There were three stone coffins worth of frozen meat that the wild boars hid. The sad wild boar was eating the food in big mouthfuls.

The next day, the village was filled with wild boars, bear feces, and the feces of all kinds of rats. They had no other way to express their sadness!

When Zhao Yingying went out and saw that the entire village was cleaning up the feces, she laughed silently. She could not help but say to Jiang Xi, “I feel like I’m being overwhelmed by resentment.”

“A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Do you think these animals only have one nest? It’s just that I’m a person who leaves a way out when doing things. I can’t force an animal to its death,” Jiang Xi said slowly while munching on sunflower seeds.

“Jiang Xi, how did you know all this?” Zhao Yingying was curious.
