"Ah Xun, you stay home and cook. I'll take Grandpa and the two aunties up the mountain to get some things," Song Tantan said to Ye Moxun after bringing the things home.

Ye Moxun stared at her intently, unable to understand why she was so eager to lead the way when others insisted on going up the mountain late at night. She said no, but now she was being overly kind.

"I'll talk to you when I get back. Go cook, are you sulking again?" Song Tantan was like a scumbag who had to lower himself to coax his wife when she was about to go on a long trip.

The old man, Shuanzi's mother, the woman, and Song Tantan all carried torches and walked up the mountain. The mountain path was difficult to walk and twisted and turned before they finally found the cave that Song Tantan had mentioned.

None of them had ever been to this cave before, and they didn't even know there was a cave here. Besides being close to a cliff, there were also many thorns outside the cave. It seems they should go to places like this more often in the future, otherwise how will they find good things?

Look at that young master Song, he specifically seeks out places like this, and he found food twice in a row. That makes sense, who would hide something in an easily discoverable place? He would definitely hide it in the weeds.

"There really are quilts, cotton-padded coats, and grain! My God, what incredible luck! Who hid these things here? I wonder how long they've been there, and they're still intact." The old man rushed over, trembling, clutching a quilt in one hand and a bag of grain in the other.

Not to be outdone, Shuanzi's mother quickly rushed up and started taking things. The other woman was a beat slower to react, but she also quickly moved things after she came to her senses.

"Take your things and hurry up. It's getting late, and if we dawdle any longer, some wild beast might come along and cause trouble." Song Tantan urged the three of them to take their things and go back quickly, instead of getting too excited.

"Yes, quick, take everything, don't leave anything behind." Shuanzi's mother struggled to carry all the things.

Of course, everything was distributed in quantities. For example, each family received 30 jin of wheat flour, 20 jin of rice, a cotton quilt, and a cotton-padded coat. There were only three households in the village, and they got along well with each other, so there was no worry about fighting over things or who would grab more first and then not give any to the other families.

Perhaps they are unwilling to share what they have snatched, but they dare not actually refuse to give it up. Even if someone is really selfish, Song Tantan will not give them that chance and will definitely make that person take out the items so that everyone can distribute them fairly.

It's not about dividing equally, it's about dividing equally. For example, if there are three people in Shuanzi's family, then they should get three cotton-padded coats. The old man's family of three also gets three coats. The woman's family of two gets two coats. There are exactly three cotton-padded quilts, one for each family.

Fortunately, everyone was very conscientious and no one tried to take more than their share; the food was distributed according to the number of people.

On the way back, Shuanzi's mother was still wondering, "Isn't this strange? Last time we found something in the cave, and if we divided it among the three families, it would probably last us two or three months. Just when we were about to run out of food, we found something again. It's like the clothes and quilts were given out in a way that was just right for the number of people in each of our households. This is too much of a coincidence."

"Now that you mention it, I think so too. It's such a coincidence." The woman wholeheartedly agreed.

The old man also said that this matter was quite surreal, and even asked Song Tantan about it, as if he wanted to hear what she had to say.

In the darkness, Song Tantan's eyes flashed, but her tone remained calm. "Speaking of which, Ah Xun and I have only been here for less than three months. We are not as familiar with the environment as you are. Is it strange that we found food in the cave?"

I was just very moved. Otherwise, we'd be eating wild vegetables every day, and in winter there wouldn't even be any. If I hadn't suddenly found someone else's hidden food in the cave, I don't know if I would have survived the winter. As for why things happened so coincidentally, I hadn't thought about it.

I don't know, I don't want to hear it, don't ask me. If you ask, I'll tell you that even having food can't shut you up. Go back, hide your food, wash up, and go to sleep.

"You're back. Wash your hands and come eat." Ye Moxun had already cooked the food and set the table.

Two dishes, stewed pheasant soup and braised rabbit with potatoes. After several years of practice, Ye Moxun's cooking skills have gradually improved, and he is only slightly inferior to Song Tantan.

"Mmm, delicious. You've worked hard." Song Tantan smiled and sat down to eat.

"What did they say?" Ye Moxun knew those people would definitely have doubts.

"Anyway, if I don't say anything, and you don't say anything, only heaven, earth, you, and I know. They'll never guess that I have a supermarket. But they can't hold onto that suspicion. What matters most to them is having enough to eat and wear. Who has the time or inclination to wonder who's hiding things in a cave? Who cares?"

Song Tantan chuckled, "It's not that the ancients had limited thinking, that they couldn't have imagined time travel, let alone space."

“But they might suspect the existence of ghosts and monsters. In ancient times, demons and monsters were bound and burned.” Ye Moxun glanced at her, a warning in his eyes.

"This is the last time. After this, even if you turn the entire Xifeng Mountain upside down, you won't find the grain I left there. I did this to repay Shuanzi for saving my life." Song Tantan knew what he meant. It's not good to do this too often. After all, if you're always by the river, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

It might be exposed one day, and it would be embarrassing if people treated it like a monster.

In Songlin Village, Liu Cheng finally woke up after half an hour. He had been in a coma ever since he arrived in Songlin Village. Song Zhuiyan even suspected that he had become a vegetable. The three guards were so worried that they almost committed suicide to atone for their sins.

The women, however, didn't seem to care much about Liu Cheng's life or death. They were worried for the first few days, but after settling into the stone house where they had food and drink and found it to be very safe, they settled in without a care in the world.

If it weren't for Ah Zhu and Shui Sheng's excellent medical skills, the comprehensive range of herbs they collected, and the good food they provided, it would have been doubtful whether Liu Cheng would have woken up at all; he might have really become a vegetable.
