Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 427: Prestige Soars

The elder took Lu Yu's spirit stone and quickly arranged for people to go to Chen Yue City to buy food.

After temporarily solving the food problem, Lu Yu's next challenge was dealing with Bai Pangzi, who was from the Chen Yue Sect.

After being driven away, he definitely wouldn't give up easily.

What's most important is that Lu Yu sensed from his attitude that he seemed to not care whether Longya Fort could repay the debt or not. It seemed like him not being able to repay was what he wanted the most.

"How much do you guys know about Bai Pangzi's situation? I always feel like that guy has ulterior motives."

After solving the food problem, Lu Yu began to consider how to deal with Bai Pangzi.

After listening, Wei Xiaoxian briefly recalled and then introduced the grudges between Bai Pangzi and Longya Fort...

Well, it all boils down to self-interest.

Longya Fort is very poor, so it's not surprising that it caught the attention of loan merchants like Bai Pangzi.

These guys are like blood-sucking locusts. Whenever they smell blood, they come over to take a bite.

Regardless of whether you have the ability to repay or not, he definitely won't lose money.

As for what he will take as repayment, Wei Xiaoxian still doesn't know the purpose of this guy.

"Before, I heard him say that he seems to want this area of Longya Fort. Do you have any resources or treasures buried here?"

"How is that possible! Even if we had the cheapest copper mine, we wouldn't be in such a state. As for treasures, it seems like we've exchanged whatever we could find for food."

Wei Xiaoxian said helplessly.

She isn't very good at making money, so ever since she took control of Longya Fort, she has been living off the land.

As she said, if there were any treasures, they would have been exchanged for food long ago.

Lu Yu nodded.

Although Wei Xiaoxian doesn't know what Bai Pangzi's motives are, he always feels that this guy is suspicious.

As for what exactly the problem is, he can't figure it out right now. He can only investigate more carefully later.

"Alright, I'll think of a solution for the money problem. We can't just keep living off the land like this. Xiao Bai, Xiao Hua, come with me."

"I'm not called Xiao Hua!"

The cat demon Xiao Hua weakly protested. As a pure white cat demon, its fur is even more beautiful than Xiao Bai's.

But Lu Yu insisted on giving it the name Xiao Hua, how could it bear it?

Unfortunately, it can't do anything about it! Who told it that its strength is inferior to that shameless guy?

Protesting a couple of times had no effect, so it could only reluctantly follow Lu Yu out of the door.

As for Xiao Bai, Lu Yu had long bought it with various delicious spirit beast pills.

Now, even if he were to change its name to Xiao Hua, it probably wouldn't object.

Lu Yu took the two of them out of the fort and let them use their respective skills to search for prey in the forest.

Longya Mountain is not small.

Although the terrain is steep, various wild animals live inside.

The people of Longya Fort have average strength, so they can't deal with these wild animals. But Lu Yu is different.

With Xiao Bai and Xiao Hua, the two hunting experts, he only needs to follow behind and throw a few stones casually. In no time, he can easily hunt a bear and a few mountain chickens.

He didn't excessively kill the creatures in the forest, after all, he had to consider living here in the future.

He would never engage in the act of draining a pond to catch fish.

Lu Yu returned to the village with a bear and was immediately surrounded by a group of people as soon as he entered the village gate.

"The village chief has returned from hunting! The village chief is mighty!"

"This bear must weigh at least a thousand catties. With so many of us, each person can get several catties of meat."

"What are you thinking? These are the hunting spoils of the village chief. It's already good enough if we can have some soup. But it's been a long time since we had meat soup. I wonder if the village chief will need help when cooking later..."

Almost everyone in the village was emaciated, but their eyes were filled with hope.

Lu Yu knew that it was the light of hope.

His presence gave these struggling ordinary people at the bottom a glimmer of hope to survive!

"Second Elder, you're here just in time. Shave off twenty catties of meat from this bear for me, and cook the rest into meat soup for everyone to eat."

Lu Yu saw the Second Elder approaching in the crowd and quickly pulled him over.

"The village chief is mighty!"

"Long live the village chief!"

When they heard that Lu Yu was going to cook such a big bear into soup for them, everyone became excited.

Almost everyone started praising and singing his praises, and the whole village was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Don't worry, village chief. I'll do it right away!"

The Second Elder naturally wouldn't refuse such a good thing.

He stepped forward to take the bear from Lu Yu's hands and led the crowd towards the kitchen.

Although it would take some time to cook the meat soup, everyone was no longer in the mood to do anything else. They gathered around the kitchen, eagerly watching the Second Elder and his men deal with the bear.

Although the bear was not small, with everyone's efforts, it was quickly divided into pieces of meat.

The Second Elder selected the most tender and fatty piece of meat and had the chef stir-fry it, then had someone deliver it to Lu Yu and the others. They also sent a pot of stewed mountain chicken.

With such a big bear here, the people in the village naturally wouldn't have any thoughts of taking Lu Yu's few mountain chickens.

After all the food was delivered to Lu Yu and the others, the Second Elder and his men poured the remaining meat and bones into several large pots.

Then they set up a few makeshift stoves outside the kitchen and started cooking the soup on the spot.

After the fire in the stove started burning, it didn't take long for the water in the pot to boil. Then various seasonings were added to the pot, and soon a strong aroma of meat wafted out.

After all, this was bear meat, not pork or anything else. Even if it was cooked over high heat continuously, it took a long time to cook the meat until it was tender.

After the meat was cooked, the Second Elder immediately started distributing the meat soup to everyone.

Each person received a large bowl of soup and two large pieces of meat, and each bowl was filled to the brim.

In this way, the people of Longya Village had the most abundant dinner in years that night.

Because the bear was brought by Lu Yu, everyone credited him with the achievement. In an instant, his reputation in Longya Village skyrocketed.

He received the support of everyone almost as soon as he took on the position of village chief.

This was something he hadn't expected.

In fact, he only wanted to improve the food here and make something delicious for himself and a few other women.

As for the villagers, it was really just a side benefit.

No matter what he thought, these villagers did indeed benefit. And Lu Yu's tenure as village chief began smoothly.

Because of his presence, the people in the entire village became unprecedentedly united.
