It's June now, and there's no rain. The farmland is starting to dry up again, and farmers are having to fetch water every day.
Lu Shiyi led the team members down the mountain to ask whether the villagers who entered the mountain had seen any strangers. Four or five unfamiliar faces were seen on the back mountain of the first brigade.
"Shi Yi, even though you have split up the clan, you were away from the village before. You see, there is not enough food in the village. Can you help transport some in?" The elders saw Lu Shiyi coming and immediately stepped forward to ask.
Lu Shiyi sat opposite Lu Boyuan and discussed arranging people to go into the mountains with the villagers to chop firewood every day.
"Haven't you applied for relief food from the county? The situation is bad everywhere now, even the food in the military camp is limited!" Lu Shiyi refused directly.
When the elders heard what Lu Shiyi said, they felt a pang in their hearts. The water source of the stream used in the village was getting less and less, and they didn't know how long it could last.
"Shi Yi, do you know where we can get food? Even exchanging it for food is fine. The village granary still has plenty of fine grains." Lu Boyuan looked at Lu Shi Yi, who had more connections. "Exchanging fine grains for coarse grains will allow the village to safely get through the autumn harvest."
"No one dares to do this for now, village chief. You should know that the black market is being severely suppressed now. Who dares to take the risk?" Lu Shiyi asked back.
Lu Boyuan smiled bitterly. Lu Shiyi was right. The village really couldn't think of a solution now.
The staff in the county also said that there is no relief food arriving for the time being, and the relief food needs to be distributed to counties that are in more difficult situations.
"The situation in the village is quite difficult now. The relief food from the county town will not arrive, and everyone is worried." Lu Boyuan cried.
Lu Shiyi shook his head: "I can't help you for now."
The elders also went to the county town to look for people, but they all avoided them and were not prepared to get involved in the affairs of the village.
"The water source in the mountains is gradually decreasing. If the village has no water, we will probably run out of food!" The elders are also feeling sad.
"We asked you to concentrate on transporting ice in the winter. The Sixth Brigade collected a lot of ice during the winter, and now we're using it for irrigation." Lu Shiyi told Lu Boyuan, "I reminded you."
When he finished speaking, everyone in the village was stunned. They only thought of looking for him when they had problems, and never thought of taking precautions in advance as he said.
"Village chief, I have already told you that if anyone from the village goes into the mountains and sees a stranger, tell me immediately." Lu Shiyi stood up and didn't want to mention this matter anymore for the time being.
Lu Shiyi led the team members out of the house. As they walked in the village, many elderly people came to greet them. For the sake of Lu Bairen's face, Lu Shiyi had to comfort these elderly people.
Only after Lu Bairen's generation left could Lu Shiyi completely sever ties with the village.
"Captain Lu, there's new food arriving at the logistics department!" Qi She went into the mountains with everyone. When they were near the farm, Qi She reminded Lu Shiyi.
"If you give it to the villagers down the mountain, the other villages will also want it. It's not appropriate to give it to just one village." Lu Shiyi refused. "Besides, Grandpa won't allow anyone to use his name to do things. Even if the villagers come to him and ask for help, he won't do it."
At the same time, Su Jin heard the phone ringing at home. She immediately answered the phone and heard a low, fast-talking voice coming from the other end of the receiver.
"Su Jin, move the books away as soon as possible. Someone is targeting you!" He hung up the phone immediately after saying that. Su Jin heard the spatial analysis and found that the call was made at the last minute. The other party didn't even disguise his voice.
Su Jin took a few quick steps, put the translated books and materials into the space, and put the red book in the place where the books were.
The top 10 sheets of translation paper were taken away to prevent anyone from making rubbings with a pencil.
After Su Jin finished all this, she took a look at the study and found that there was nothing that shouldn't be there. Then she went to the living room and called Hanhan to make lunch together.
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang accompanied the three elderly people to the county town, and at noon, only the three of them had lunch.
"Mom, there are people watching us outside!" Hanhan pointed to the window next to the courtyard gate. There was a team member in his 20s standing straight outside the window. Su Jin used the surveillance video in the space to replay it.
Su Jin noticed that the team member had a gloomy look in his eyes, which made Su Jin shiver all over.
Lu Shiyi had not returned yet, so it would not be a good idea for her to open the door rashly. She asked loudly through the open window.
"Ayi hasn't come back yet, you can come back later!" Su Jin said directly.
The other party was slightly stunned: "Sister-in-law, I was sent by GA to collect information."
Seeing that Su Jin didn't open the door, the team members had to take out their ID first.
"Hasn't it been given to you?" Su Jin wondered, "How can I give it to you if I haven't got any new books?"
"Sister-in-law, did the person in front take it away? Okay, I'll call the unit right away!" When the team member heard Su Jin say that it was taken away by someone, she saw a smile on the other person's face.
Su Jin stood in front of the window and looked in. Because the house was stuffy, all the windows were open. The team members standing at the door could just see Su Jin's desk.
The other party had observed Su Jin's desk and found that all the translated books and reference books were placed near the window.
At this moment, there was only the Little Red Book on the desk, and no foreign language reference books.
After the team members left, Su Jin turned on the video in the space to monitor them and found that they did not go out, nor did they make an excuse to make a phone call. Instead, they went straight to the cafeteria.
Could the other party be a cafeteria staff member? !
When Su Jin thought of this possibility, he immediately became alert. Several elderly people had accidents one after another, so it was possible that there was something wrong with their food.
"Wife, why are you staring at the window?" Lu Shiyi arranged for someone to go to the back mountain, and when he came in, he saw her staring at the door in a daze.
"Ayi, someone just called and said someone's after my information. They called at the last minute, and their voice wasn't hidden," Su Jin told Lu Shiyi. "I asked Bao Bao to hide their voice, and within 10 minutes, someone claiming to be a GA showed up, wanting to take my translated information. I told them, 'Didn't someone take it?' They even had a smile on their face. They must be from the kitchen staff."
Su Jin's words made Lu Shiyi squint his eyes. If it was as Su Jin said, the other party must have said it on purpose.
"We've done some special checks and discovered someone is investigating the books you translated. Two members of the armed forces were bribed, and we've only dug one out. The other one should be from the cafeteria!" Lu Shiyi remembered that the elderly men were starting to have stomach problems. "Also, the medicinal food prescriptions you, Mr. Pei, and the others wrote out were all tampered with."
"I was just about to ask you to help thoroughly check the cafeteria to prevent anyone from taking advantage of loopholes and causing trouble." Su Jin reminded the other party.
Lu Shiyi nodded: "The fat squad leader will make arrangements. Mr. Song will be returning to the imperial capital in a few days."
