Chapter 331 The Village Granary
The boy recovered well from his injuries, and during the chat, everyone also learned the boy's name, Lu Yan, and his sister's name was Lu Zhao.
Lu Yan also explained to everyone why there was a man-eating demon in the village.
Generally speaking, villagers have lived in the village for generations and are basically related to each other. Even if they are not relatives, they have been neighbors for many years.
Neighbors in the countryside and neighbors in the city are not the same thing, and these days, even raising a dog requires emotional attachment, let alone a child you have watched grow up.
Lu Yan's eyes were full of hatred: "The leader is not from our village at all. He came here to escape the disaster after the end of the world. At first he said he was someone else's relative."
Shi Jiaojiao paused, it was obvious that the talk about relatives was just nonsense.
Lu Yan continued: "He also brought those weapons, and no one knows where he came from."
When Mu Ci heard this, he recalled the map he had seen before. If he remembered correctly, there was a prison not far from here.
But now that group of people are all dead, not even their ashes are left, so this secret is destined to be unknown to anyone.
Talking about the village, Lu Yan also said a few more words: "In fact, our village is not only left with the food in the ancient tomb, but unfortunately the sandstorm outside has not ended yet, and I don’t know how much of the food will be left in the end.
It's not that he deliberately concealed it at the beginning. He knew that no matter how powerful these four people were, they could not withstand the natural disaster. Since they couldn't get out, there was no point in mentioning those things.
Now that they were talking about it, the topic had come to this, and he also felt that it was a pity to waste the food.
He learned the poem "Every grain of rice is hard-earned" when he was very young, but the country was developing faster and faster, and all kinds of machines were basically used in farming. If the family conditions were good, they could even hire people and did not have to worry about anything at all.
Who could have thought that the sudden end of the world would make him truly understand the preciousness of food.
But when Shi Jiaojiao and the other three heard these words, their eyes lit up.
Now that everything outside is calm, they can go out for a while. Moreover, the food that others cannot take away is not a problem at all for Shi Jiaojiao who has the space.
Wang Jia came over and asked, "Then do you know where the food in your village is stored?"
Lu Yan nodded. He and his sister fell into the hands of that group of people. They probably thought that the two children would not live long, so they did not hide some things from them.
"I know, but isn't it too dangerous for you to go out? And even if you go out, you can't carry so much food back."
The boy wanted to dispel their thoughts.
Not only are his and my sister's lives now hanging on these four people, but I have been able to feel their kindness in the past few days. They are good people, so I don't want anything to happen to them.
Shi Jiaojiao said, "It's okay, just tell us the location, and we'll find a chance to check it out."
While speaking, she also saw the worry in Lu Yan's eyes.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, we value our lives much more than you think."
Hearing this, Lu Yan no longer hesitated and directly told the location.
There were not many people left in the village after the extreme cold, and it was because of their small number that the entire village was taken over by Tian Hua later.
His cruelty made it impossible for others to even think of rebelling against him.
As for the grain in the village, apart from what had been eaten previously and what had been lost in various natural disasters, there was still a lot of grain left, all of which was hidden by Tian Hua in a large warehouse in the village.
Lu Yan didn’t know how many years this warehouse had been built, but his grandfather said it had been there since he was a child.
This time, those people hid in the ancient tomb not to escape the sandstorm. They were not prophets, so how could they know that there would be a sandstorm after the polar day?
They discovered the entrance to the ancient tomb completely by accident and felt that the tomb was safer.
At that time, Tian Hua wanted to transfer all the food into the ancient tomb, but there was not enough time. When the food was being transferred, four people were swept away by a sudden sandstorm.
Shi Jiaojiao wrote down the address and stood up to leave.
When she left, she glanced at the things in the tomb. There was food and water. The brother and sister were very frugal in using them. Lu Yan's injuries had also healed a lot, and his face was not as ugly as at the beginning.
Lu Yan thought Shi Jiaojiao was afraid that he and his sister would run away, so he spoke first: "Sister, my sister and I will not leave the tomb."
Shi Jiaojiao didn’t mean that at first, but if the brother and sister were obedient it would indeed save a lot of trouble.
"Just take good care of your injuries now, don't worry about anything."
After saying that, he left with the other three.
Back in his tomb, Wang Jia was the first to speak: "Jiaojiao, are we going out to collect that batch of grain?"
According to her thinking, although food is precious, it is not as important as life, especially since there is no shortage of food in Shi Jiaojiao's space.
It is indeed calm outside now, but no one can tell whether there will be any danger in the middle.
They can wait until the sandstorm is completely over before going out.
Shi Jiaojiao thought about it, nodded and said, "I want to go."
Not only can we collect the grain, but we can also take the opportunity to check the situation outside.
If they want to survive, they can't hide in the ancient tomb forever.
She wanted to find another escape route, a escape route that the ancient tomb would eventually be unable to withstand.
On the other hand, there is no shortage of food in his own space, but food is something that the more the better. Instead of having it blown away by the wind and sand, it is better to collect it and donate it.
Wang Jia saw that Shi Jiaojiao had made a decision and said nothing else, "Then let's go now, and we can come back earlier."
Shi Jiaojiao shook her head: "This time my brother and I will go, you and Tang Wei will stay."
She had considered it. She had her own space and would have the confidence to escape no matter what happened, while Mu Ci could be responsible for driving.
Wang Jia immediately refused: "How can this be possible?"
Shi Jiaojiao explained: "You and Tang Wei can stay in the ancient tomb and prevent the brother and sister from seeing the situation in the cave. When I leave, I will also block the cave with stones."
Doing so not only protects the people in the ancient tomb, but also prevents the cave from collapsing.
Wang Jia still didn't want to: "Then you and Mu Ci stay, Tang Wei and I will go."
Mu Ci made the final decision: "Jiaojiao and I will go. Jiaojiao has her own space and will be more forgiving of any problems she encounters."
Wang Jia pursed her lips, feeling a little frustrated. She felt that she and Tang Wei were still too weak. If they could help at this time, Shi Jiaojiao wouldn't have to go out and take risks herself.
But she also understood that since Mu Ci had spoken, the matter could not be changed, so she could only remind him: "Then remember to come back early, hide in the space if you encounter any danger, and be sure to pay attention to safety."
Tang Wei's face was also full of seriousness: "Take the walkie-talkie with you as well. There is no sandstorm outside now, so it shouldn't affect your use."
The expressions of the two people at this moment were like they were about to send a child to kindergarten.
The child hadn't reacted yet, but the two of them were worried sick.
Shi Jiaojiao smiled: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
