Chapter 354: Chapter 354 Borrowing Grain

"Brother Lu Er, I know what you mean.

The road ahead is perilous, and we might not make it."

"So what, at least we tried. Whoever wants to leave, go ahead now.

Brother Song, I’m definitely going with you."

He felt a strong sense of righteousness, as if they were heading to the guillotine.

Xiao Ma also came over, echoing in agreement.

"That’s right, Brother Song, we all want to follow you, no matter what the others say."

Among these people, he was considered an old acquaintance.

Song Yi merely nodded and didn’t say much.

He really didn’t want to take this group with him; the more people there were, the bigger the target, and the greater the danger.

Jhiang Yuan was puzzled. Shouldn’t this be the time for a rousing and passionate speech? That’s it?

"Brother Song, what about these three bears?"

"Find some firewood, light torches, and let’s clean up these three."

"Okay!"

Lu Er responded and began to rally the rest of the people to help clean up.

Such heavy things naturally needed some of the useless parts removed.

Otherwise, taking them up the mountain would just be a burden.

The people were indeed very happy, it was like having meat to eat, they were just short of spinning around in circles on the spot.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t say much; she found a secluded spot and entered her space.

Jhiang Xingzhi was walking back and forth anxiously; seeing her return, he quickly asked for details.

She explained everything calmly.

"We need to pack up quickly, we have to show our faces!"

"Okay!"

People were busy bustling about, reminiscent of the vibe when a pig was slaughtered in the old days.

No one even noticed them; even Xiao Ling went with Jingjing to join the commotion.

Everything was organized, and it was already noon.

If they didn’t hurry, they probably wouldn’t be able to travel far today.

Everyone started to ascend the mountain, using sticks to help them.

Old Mom and Dad, including Ye Mianmian and Xiao Nuan, had put on non-slip shoes, so she didn’t need to worry too much about them.

Especially Xiao Nuan, who wouldn’t let herself be carried and followed along on the ground.

Their pace was slow, but if she remembered correctly, there should be another village nearby.

Or rather, it couldn’t exactly be called a village, with just a few households, captured by netizens with a drone.

The exact situation was unclear to her.

The road up the mountain was even harder to traverse, and they took several breaks along the way.

By the time it was a little past four in the afternoon, they finally saw some houses.

This must be a valley, surrounded by extended mountains on the left, right, and behind.

The terrain was relatively wide, shaped like a fan, extending downwards.

"Look, there are houses..."

Lu Er was the first to get excited, his personality seemed much like Zhang Kaiyang’s.

However, at this moment he was busy taking care of Fan Qing, and it was quite a headache.

"Let’s go up and have a look..."

The map left by the senior sister also had this place on it.

The excited young people had already run up ahead.

The rest followed at their own steady pace.

By the time they arrived, they had already explored a few houses at the back.

The situation here was not too severe, surrounded by large trees, those very thick, ancient trees.

While not exactly blotting out the sky, it was close enough.

"Brother Song, there’s nobody living here, it seems to have been deserted for a long time.

It’s just that house up there, there are two elderly people, they’re already stiff."

Goodness, they must have frozen to death, Jhiang Yuan’s heart sank halfway in an instant.

"Find a relatively intact house, let’s settle down first.

As for those two elderly people, find a place to bury them."

"Alright!"

Lu Er excitedly rushed over, and in the end, everyone chose a house in the middle.

This village consisted of only about four or five families.

Two elderly people lived at the top, buried within the courtyard.

There were quite a few farm tools in their house, all of which were taken out.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t go over, this house here should have had inhabitants too, but nobody knew where they had gone.

The main house had five rooms, and each of the left and right wing-rooms had three rooms.

Although simple, they were still standing crookedly without having been blown down.

Xiao Ma found a lot of firewood inside, and couldn’t contain his excitement.

He called people over to set up a fire right in the hall.

Song Yi approached Jhiang Yuan and found a quiet place, hesitating to speak.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t be like this."

"Yes, I was thinking, since there’s a pot and stove here, maybe we could borrow some grain."

Jhiang Yuan tightly clutched her own wrist; this person actually had his eyes on her grain.

Seeing her cautious appearance, Song Yi quickly explained.

"I was thinking, everyone needs to eat their fill so we can set off, and we might as well make some dry rations while we still can today."

Jhiang Yuan’s mouth twitched suddenly, reasoning that she really should give up the grain.

It was Song Yi who had helped her collect it, after all, and he had put in quite a bit of work.

But she was like a Pixiu, only taking in and not letting out!

"Song Yi, with so many people around, how much do you want me to take out?"

"Twenty catties of rice, twenty catties of flour should definitely be enough."

Damn, he wasn’t shy in asking.

"It’s possible, but let’s get this straight: this time I’ll give it to you, but don’t you ever think about it again in the future.

Even if you are about to starve to death, don’t come asking me for help."

"Is that so heartless?"

He actually chuckled, and Jhiang Yuan glared at him.

"So, make your own choices."

She left him some leeway; now it was up to him to choose.

"Good, trust me, we need to keep enough provisions this time.

We must reach Half Moon Lake the day after tomorrow."

Because after the day after tomorrow, the earthquakes would start.

This amount of grain wasn’t much for her.

Since he had made his choice, she took it out.

The two of them came down from the front, and there were also some seasonings in that family’s kitchen that they took with them.

Song Yi, carrying the rice and flour, caught the attention of those below, who eagerly approached him.

"Brother Song, did you find anything good?"

As they spoke, they reached out to help.

He didn’t stand on ceremony: "Rice and white flour..."

"Wow, we actually have grain! We went to check earlier and didn’t find any."

"In the hidden kitchen."

Song Yi didn’t say much more, having explained was already quite generous of him.

The sight of the grain got everybody excited.

Everyone started bustling about, some making fires, others getting ice.

Meanwhile, the women set about kneading dough on their own initiative, with Song Yi suggesting that all of it should be made into steamed buns to take on the road.

Another group was preparing the meat they had obtained in the morning, skewering it on sticks and roasting it over the fire.

For a moment, it was a harmonious scene.

It seemed more like they were on a vacation than fleeing a disaster.

The cooking on the other side was going swiftly; the rice was being cooked in a wood-fired stove as scooped rice.

You could even drink some rice soup, reminiscent of childhood memories.

Qin Yue was also amongst this team, and she was one of the main forces.

Jhiang Yuan was among the first to try the rice soup, and its rich, natural flavor made her blissfully squint her eyes.

The other people came over too, gathering around the stove and praising it endlessly.

"Hey, why does it feel like the ground is shaking? I’m feeling dizzy..."
