Gu Naiyi shook his head and replied, "Unfortunately, Elder Lu, I don't have a way to solve this problem yet. However, although I don't have a solution, we can list the total amount of food currently owned by the villagers and us. Then, we can make plans based on the amount of the remaining food."
Tang Sanniu thought about his suggestion for a while, then looked at the other elder and asked, "Elder Deng, do you have any other suggestions?"
Deng Songxing frowned and said, "Since the floods cut off our access to the outside world, I don't think the villagers would let us check the amount of their food. If we do that, they probably thought we were trying to take their food and fought back instead."
Lu Zuancheng nodded and said, "Elder Deng is right, but we still need to try. With everyone's help, we may be able to convince the villagers to cooperate and find a solution together."
