"Hmm, pick whichever you like."

Chen Fan emphasized his words to express his affirmation.

Meng Yu then reached out her hand, hesitated for a long time, and finally chose a mirror and a small jar of candy.

"Okay, all done."

She looked at Chen Fan and whispered.

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly and began to take things out one by one and place them on the table.

"Alright, alright, that's enough, Chen Fan, that's really enough."

Seeing that Chen Fan had taken almost ten items and still wasn't stopping, Meng Yu panicked and said, "I really don't need so many. You can take them and give them to others."

"fine."

After taking out a few more items, Chen Fan finally stopped.

"This, this is too much."

Looking at the dozen or so items on the table, Meng Yu was at a loss, her face turning red.

"And this too."

Chen Fan took out a bar of soap from his pocket. "Here you go."

"This is?"

Meng Yu's eyes lit up, and she said with a mix of joy and shyness, "Is this really for me? But, but I really took too much."

"This is nothing."

Chen Fan was both amused and exasperated. "Thanks to your reminder this time, we were able to escape danger and even reap a great harvest. Next time we go to exchange supplies, just tell me what you want and I'll buy it for you."

"Oh? No, no need. These things are already very valuable; how can I let you spend more money?"

Meng Yu quickly shook her head.

Chen Fan went hunting, which was both dangerous and arduous. He finally managed to catch a few animals and exchange them for some money.

This is all hard-earned money.

Chen Fan smiled, took out a thick wad of banknotes from his wallet, and placed it on the table.

Meng Yu was stunned.

"What... what is this?"

She looked at the banknotes on the table and froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

"Scraped from bandits."

Chen Fan took out a red banknote with a face value of one thousand yuan and placed it in front of her.

"Next time you go out, if you want to buy something, just bring this money and come find me."

"No, no, that's too much."

Meng Yu was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly.

That's a thousand yuan!

Even if prices are high, 1,000 yuan can buy a lot of daily necessities.

"This is what you deserve, take it. Anyway, I won't take back the money I've given away."

As Chen Fan spoke, he put the remaining money into his wallet and put it away safely.

Without Meng Yu's reminder, they might have all perished under the bandits' blades.

Therefore, it is only right to allocate 1,000 yuan.

"But……"

Meng Yu wore a bitter expression, looking like she still didn't want to accept it.

"Actually, besides thanking you, I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Chen Fan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The person on the Songjiabao city wall was always like a thorn stuck in his heart, impossible to get rid of.

If he were all alone, he wouldn't care. Since there was a possibility of danger and it would be difficult to kill the other party to eliminate future troubles, then the best course of action would be to run away. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he could at least avoid them.

However, he was clearly not alone.

Therefore, I have no choice but to break my promise and ask Meng Yu to predict this matter.

"Okay, go ahead."

Surprisingly, Meng Yu readily agreed.

"That's how it is..."

Chen Fan gave a general account of what had happened. Uncle Liu and the others had already told him all this at the entrance of the village, so he focused on the fact that they had discovered someone was spying on them.

After hearing this, Meng Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Maybe I'm just overthinking it. The journey back was smooth, and there were no pursuers, but I still have a sense of unease. I feel like this matter won't be over so easily."

Chen Fan looked at Meng Yu and said with a wry smile, "I know you can't actively predict the future, but I think that if I tell you about this, you'll have an impression of it and you might dream about it in the future."

"I'll give it a try."

Meng Yu nodded, her face apologetic. "However, I may not be able to dream about it. I've tried this method before, but dreams are still very random. Even my sister doesn't know why."

"fine,"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "I just wanted to give you an impression. I will also intensify my training. If I am strong enough, I won't be afraid even if that person comes knocking on my door."

"Yes, I believe you."

Meng Yu nodded emphatically.

"Alright, that's enough for now. Take this money. Write down what you want to buy and give it to me later."

Chen Fan repacked the package, stood up, and said, "I'll be going now."

Meng Yu saw Chen Fan to the door and watched him leave.

Her brows were furrowed, and she looked very distressed.

In the past few days, there has been a lot more food available, and she has also tried to follow her sister's advice to meditate, concentrate, and visualize to improve her mental strength.

There was no progress whatsoever.

Their mental strength is too weak; they can't even reach the threshold of actively predicting the future.

"I wonder how my sister is doing now. Will I ever see her again?"

Thinking of this, she was overcome with grief again and couldn't help but shed tears.

……

For some reason, Chen Fan felt that the gloom in his heart had dissipated considerably.

"Is it because of sharing?"

He remembered a motivational quote he had seen before.

If you share your happiness with a friend, you will receive double the happiness; if you confide your sorrows to a friend, your sorrows will be halved.

"Forget it, let's not think about these things anymore and go find Uncle Zhang."

He has a lot to ask the other party for advice.

There weren't many people in front of the warehouse yet; they were all queuing up to receive supplies.

Fortunately, Zhang Ren was there; he was practicing archery.

Uncle Zhang.

Chen Fan walked over and greeted him.

Zhang Ren pulled back the bow he had drawn, looked up at Chen Fan, and spoke with concern in his voice.

"You've come? This time, it must be very dangerous?"

"Actually, it's alright."

Chen Fan smiled, looked around, and said, "Uncle Zhang, do you have a moment? I brought you a gift."

"Gift?"

Zhang Ren was taken aback. The two of them went to the house next to the warehouse.

Looking at the various trinkets laid out on the table, Zhang Ren's face showed a hint of surprise. "Are these all for me?"

I guess so.

Chen Fan coughed lightly, "But it would be best to leave a couple for Wang Ping and the others as well."

Zhang Ren nodded and picked out some.

That's all.

"Uncle Zhang, I brought you something else."

As Chen Fan spoke, he took out a manual razor.

Zhang Ren's eyes lit up immediately, then he coughed twice and said, "You're quite thoughtful, kid. Alright, I'll accept it then."

After saying that, he calmly put away his razor and asked:

"Did you attract anyone's attention on your way back?"

Chen Fan paused for a moment, then recounted what he had mentioned to Meng Yu.

As the saying goes, three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang; if more people discuss the matter, they might be able to come up with a solution.

Zhang Ren's expression turned serious.

"Did one of the Songjiabao guards see it?"

"yes."

Chen Fan sighed, "I don't know when that person noticed me, but back then, I really wouldn't have been willing to give up those wildebeest."

Zhang Ren nodded. This batch of wildebeest would be of immense help to the village, or rather, immense help to any village.

"I don't think you need to worry too much about this."

He comforted him, "Although that person saw what happened, he didn't follow us in the end, did he? As long as we're careful from now on and don't make a fuss, nothing should happen."

Chen Fan shook his head and recounted how he bumped into Zhao San and his group when he entered the fortress, and how his identity was exposed.

"At that time, almost everyone around us was looking at us. I was worried that the person standing on the city wall might have heard it too."

Zhang Ren's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

It must be said that this possibility exists.

Since ancient times, wealth has been a powerful motivator. Even in the peaceful and prosperous times of ten years ago, someone's sudden wealth would arouse envy in others. Not to mention, now is the end of the world, and people's hearts are unpredictable.

"Uncle Zhang, actually on my way back I was worried that someone would catch up with us, but no one did."

Chen Fan's face was grim. "But if we assume that person already knows our true identities, it seems to make sense."

The atmosphere in the room instantly became oppressive.

Undoubtedly, this is the worst-case scenario.

"I'm thinking about whether we should move everyone in the village to the original Gu Family Village."

Chen Fan smiled wryly.

This is indeed a lot of trouble, but it is undoubtedly the safest way.

Of course, it remains to be seen how long this can be kept secret.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Zhang Ren thought about it carefully, then shook his head. "Gu Family Village is already the smallest in scale, barely able to accommodate sixty or seventy people. Now, with the two villages combined, there are a hundred and sixty or seventy people, which is simply not enough. Don't forget, there are also more than twenty wildebeest. If we bring them over, where will we hide them?"

Chen Fan frowned.

"I know what you're worried about. You're worried that it won't be long before twenty or thirty guards from Song Family Fortress armed with all sorts of firearms come looking for you. But have you ever considered that the more complex the terrain, the better stage it is for us martial artists to showcase our skills?"

"In the open wilderness, no matter how strong we are, we can only temporarily avoid the sharp edge in front of a dozen or twenty different kinds of guns. Otherwise, if we are not careful, we will soon be riddled with bullets. But in the village, we can rely on our familiarity with the terrain to appear and disappear like ghosts."

A glint of light flashed in Zhang Ren's eyes.

Chen Fan instantly understood.

Indeed, since ancient times, urban warfare has been the most difficult and brutal form of combat.

Their advantage as martial artists lies in their physical fitness. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some guards who can use firearms are also martial artists.

In that case, the situation would become much more complicated.

Just then, Zhang Ren's voice rang out again, carrying a calm and steady tone.

"These past few days, my strength has almost recovered. Any martial artist who doesn't reach the Enlightenment level will surely die if they dare to enter the village."

"!"

Chen Fan's eyes widened.

"As for the other people in the village, you don't need to worry. Every household has a tunnel in their house to hide from the ferocious beasts. If a large number of heavily armed guards come to the village, all the ordinary people will hide in the tunnel. This village will be my battlefield with them."

A sharp glint flashed in Zhang Ren's eyes.

No matter what, he was a master of internal energy, so even if his leg was lame, running for a short time wouldn't be a big problem.

As long as the distance is within tens of meters, even if the guard is fully armed and at the third level of Body Tempering, he can kill him with hidden weapons with ease.

Chen Fan was overjoyed.

Imagine a martial artist at the peak of internal strength ambushing you from the shadows, appearing and disappearing without a trace; even you wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.

"Uncle Zhang..."

Zhang Ren waved his hand and said, "No need for thanks. I am also from Chenjia Village. This is what I should do. You brought back a batch of wildebeest this time. After my archery skills have improved, I will go hunting with you."

Chen Fan's smile widened, unsure of what to say.
