By the time night fell over the safe zone, most of the village was still buzzing with excitement.
The discovery of the cultivation field had spread through the village faster than fire through dry grass. Everywhere people gathered, they were talking about the same thing.
The field.
The crops.
The herbs.
The possibility that their food problems might finally have a solution.
After finally eating a proper meal and washing away several days' worth of dust and dirt, I headed toward the meeting hall.
The exhaustion in my body had not disappeared, but there were still too many things that needed to be arranged.
Several hunters and young men were already waiting when I arrived.
Li Shan was there.
Zhang Lei was there.
Wang Bao and Chen Guo were there as well.
Even Yan Mo had quietly taken a seat near the back of the hall.
The room slowly grew quieter when I stepped inside.
