Perhaps anticipating transportation issues, the grain was packed into sacks and sealed, ready for its owner to collect.
Thankfully, the packaging issue has been resolved, which is so convenient!
With a wave of her hand, Qin San Niang stored all the grain into her spatial storage. She had already harvested the first crop on the way, and now the two acres of land were completely empty, perfect for storing the grain!
After doing all this, she leisurely left the warehouse.
On their way out of the city, they ran into Guo Mengzi again, and the two exchanged pleasantries once more.
Now, Guo Mengzi also learned about Tan San Niang's identity. She was actually the owner of Ruyi's shop! Those were the two largest shops in the county! Moreover, she had been rewarded by the county magistrate for inventing the rice planting method. Such a powerful person was actually kind to him, a nobody, and would occasionally bring him some snacks. Although she was a woman, she was more righteous than ordinary men!
After leaving the city, when no one was around, Qin San Niang took out a horse from her spatial storage and galloped away.
This horse was stolen from the bandits last time.
More than twenty horses were seized from Shiligou, and they were eventually distributed among the villagers. Village head Chen Sheng determined the distribution method with almost no effort.
The bandit suppression was successful primarily due to the patrol team's vigilance and early preparations, which were established by Da Wa's mother. Secondly, it relied on the traps set by He Yingyuan and others. Thirdly, it was inseparable from Pang Ya's superhuman strength. As a result, Qin San Niang got one horse, the patrol team got five, Luo Huan got one, Pang Ya got one, and the rest belonged to the villagers.
A horse is worth at least twenty taels of silver!
Except for a few people who got horses individually, everyone else sold their horses and distributed the money afterward.
All the villagers of Shiligou who came out to help suppress the bandits received extra money. Even the old, weak, sick, and disabled received some reward as long as they contributed to the suppression of the bandits.
Everyone was all smiles and extremely happy!
Who knew that bandit suppression would have such benefits? They actually hope the bandits will come back more often!
Upon arriving at the destination, Qin San Niang entered the deep forest via the official road. It was winter, but the pine trees in the forest still stood tall, showing little sign of desolation. Instead, the forest was shrouded in mist, adding to its mysterious atmosphere.
She quickly found the cave, which she had discovered last time when she was tracking Chen Guang'an. The cave was located at the bottom of the mountain, on a flat area. She chose this place because it was secluded and because the flat terrain was convenient for vehicles and horses to pass through.
With a thought, Qin San Niang filled the cave with grain.
Before long, Gu Qingshan arrived with Xiaobai, having found the trail.
Now, Little White is Big White, and he rarely goes out except to guard the house.
It was because of its enormous size that it looked like a ferocious wolf, which frightened many people passing by from other villages. Qin San Niang was worried that it would frighten others, so she kept it confined to the backyard, but sometimes it would run around in the back mountain with the children.
Xiaobai was very familiar with the scent left by Qin Sanniang, which is why he was able to find the place so quickly.
"Sister, is all this... grain?" Gu Qingshan asked in astonishment.
Who knew Scholar He had left behind so much grain? It seems he's surrounded by ruthless people! I wonder when he amassed such a fortune? But considering Scholar He's stature—he could even predict a solar eclipse—this little thing is nothing!
But how did my sister manage to get it here? Ugh, my brain isn't working properly. Oh well, as long as I don't have to worry about these things.
"Qingshan, you'll have to work hard these next two days to keep the grain safe." Qin Sanniang patted his shoulder.
After learning about his past identity, Qin Sanniang finally understood where Gu Qingshan's skills came from. It turned out that he had gained them through real battles. Entrusting him with the task of guarding the grain was no problem at all! In addition, there was Xiaobai here, and if there were no accidents, the bear should also be nearby. The grain must not have the slightest problem.
Gu Qingshan nodded solemnly, "Sister, this cartload of medicinal herbs are for treating colds and stopping bleeding from external injuries."
"Is everything going smoothly?" Qin San Niang asked.
"Some of it was obtained through the channels of Dr. Cao, and some was collected from neighboring counties."
"That's very good," said Qin San Niang with great relief.
Old Doctor Cao's reputation in He County grew increasingly renowned, and many pharmacies were willing to cooperate with him. Of course, to obtain higher quality and cheaper medicinal herbs, he purchased a large quantity of herbs before winter. In addition, whenever he had time, he would take his apprentice to the mountains to collect herbs. As a result, the quantity of medicinal herbs he collected was astonishing!
Of course, to gather these medicinal herbs, Old Doctor Cao personally went to several pharmacies to buy some. Although he didn't know the uses of these herbs, Madam Qin was a very kind person, could it be...?
Old Man Cao had a guess in his heart, and he became more cautious and careful in his actions, finally managing to gather all the medicinal materials.
Thus, Gu Qingshan stayed behind to guard this place.
As for the bear brothers nearby, they were already eyeing Qin San Niang covetously. When they saw her walking this way, they suddenly jumped out from the bushes beside the path.
Qin San Niang was not surprised. She took out a large bamboo tube of water from her spatial storage and placed it in front of it, saying with a smile, "Brother Bear, you've gotten quite a bit fatter. Here, this is water."
The bear, with its furry body, looked delighted at the sight of the bamboo tube and bowed to Qin San Niang with a slightly comical, childlike manner.
Ever since she rescued it last time, whenever Qin San Niang passes by, the bear comes out to beg for water.
At first, Qin San Niang didn't understand what it meant. Suddenly seeing a bear completely baffled her! Later, seeing that it meant no harm and was only staring at her hand, she realized that it wanted food. But there was plenty of food in the deep forest, and the bear's fighting power was off the charts, so it shouldn't be hungry, right? After thinking about it carefully, she realized that it liked to drink the space water.
“Brother Bear, my brother is guarding this place. Everything inside the cave is my treasure. If you have nothing else to do, help him keep watch on the outside until I arrive. After it’s done, I’ll reward you with two buckets of water,” Qin San Niang murmured. She thought this bear was very clever and would surely understand her meaning.
Sure enough, the bear raised its head, looked in the direction Qin San Niang pointed, and nodded.
Qin San Niang exclaimed in astonishment, "Even bears can become spirits!"
Bear: You're the one who's become a demon! Your whole family are demons! If it weren't for a sip of water, why would I let a mere woman boss me around...?
With the bear around, it was like having double insurance. Qin San Niang was so happy that she took a bunch of fruit from her space and threw it to the bear, so it wouldn't have to look for food!
