Chapter 60: Find an ally to provide cover
"oh oh!"
Luo Yang didn't have time to say anything more and just buried his head in eating!
If you don’t eat now, there will be no more juice!
Woohoo, if I had known I wouldn’t have been in a daze just now, I could have eaten two more bowls.
After the meal, Li sat aside and sighed worriedly, even putting down the needlework in her hands.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
"Li, come with me. I have something to tell you."
Mrs. Li pulled her granddaughter into her room and asked her to sit on the stool beside the bed before she spoke.
"Li, these white flour dumplings tonight are the last of our family's food. After we finish them, we don't know when we'll have more white flour. Don't make a scene when you go home next month."
Li's eyes flickered a few times and she spoke tentatively.
"Hey, I thought it was something else. How could this stump me, Bai Li? Don't worry, grandma. I guarantee you'll have white flour for every meal!"
"This kid is talking nonsense again! He's just trying to fool you."
Li stared at Bai Li, paying attention to the changes in her expression.
Bai Li: Grandma, you learn things so quickly. She only needs to be told once and she will remember it and put it into practice.
However, there will be no obvious source of food in the future, so maybe we can find an ally to help cover it up?
As for an ally, first, he must be able to be the master of the house, and second, he must be in charge of the household finances. The old lady in front of him fully meets the requirements.
It’s her!
"Grandma, if I tell you that one day I dreamed of a god who gave me lots of food, gold, silver, and jewelry, would you believe me?"
Bai Li looked straight into Li's eyes and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.
Li was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a look of joy appeared on her face.
"real?"
"If you believe it, it's true."
There was a mystery in Bai Li's words, but Li believed it without a doubt.
She immediately put her hands together, faced the door and muttered something.
"Amitabha, the Bodhisattva appeared and saved my Bai family from great disaster. I am grateful to the Bodhisattva. Thank you, Bodhisattva."
Bai Li: It’s really easy to fool.
She vaguely remembered that the ancients were superstitious and believed that anything strange and inexplicable was caused by the supernatural.
She suddenly thought that in today's battle, she fought at one-tenth of the level of her previous life. Would these ancient people regard her as a god or a ghost?
In fact, there are not so many weird things. It just happens that she is strong enough and the ancients are too weak.
After Li finished her worship and reciting the scriptures, she turned around and looked at Bai Li with a pious and respectful look.
No wonder the granddaughter suddenly became so strong. Even her father, brother, and uncle were no match for her.
It is indeed extraordinary to receive guidance from the Bodhisattva.
No wonder there is always endless meat and flour on the road.
She began to suspect it then, but it was never confirmed.
Now the truth is finally out!
Bai Li felt a little guilty.
"Grandma, where is the food?"
Li's eyes lit up. Was this food given by the gods?
She wanted to hold Bai Li's hand happily, but she pulled her hand back as soon as it touched her.
Bai Li took her arm and said, "Grandma, I am always your granddaughter, and you are always my grandma."
Only then did Mrs. Li relax, picked up the candlestick, and walked out of the room with the help of her granddaughter.
"There's an attic further back with a wooden granary above it."
When the grandfather and grandson reached the attic, Bai Li hesitated.
"Grandma, why don't you wait outside and I'll call you in later?"
I was thinking: Will she scare grandma if she suddenly changes the food?
Li thought that it might be some secret of the Bodhisattva, which a mere mortal like her could not see.
So he nodded and stayed outside obediently.
Bai Li took the opportunity to enter the space and sorted out the things that were previously scattered here and there.
With the help of the golden retriever mother and cub, and Bai Li's great strength, it took only an hour to sort it out.
At the last look, wow, the grain piled up like a big mountain, and the gold, silver, jewelry, various precious hairpins, step-shaking bracelets, rings and other accessories piled up like a small mountain.
There are also many antiques, famous paintings, cloths and silks piled together, as well as various swords, spears, machetes, daggers and other cold weapons piled together.
There are no houses in the space, and these things are just piled on the ground. From a distance, they look like hills of different sizes.
Fortunately, the space is just a storage space, there is no rain or sun, otherwise these things will definitely not last long.
I don’t know if it’s because she traveled through time, but the grass in the space became real, and there was a small stream next to the grass. The grass can be cultivated and planted, and living things can be placed in the space, as if it had been upgraded.
But it is obvious that plants can grow well without sunlight, and their growth cycle is even shorter than outside. Bai Li couldn't understand this.
Was it God's compensation that he threw her into this barren and backward ancient world so that she could be self-sufficient even if she had no land?
Come to think of it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.
Bai Li roughly estimated the food supply. All the flour was packed in large hemp bags that held more than 100 kilograms each. There were more than 5,000 bags, weighing about 6,000 kilograms.
There were more than 20,000 bags of paddy and more than 3,000 bags of rice.
In addition, there were baskets and baskets of various coarse grains such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc., which filled up half of the mountain.
No matter how much food there is, it will eventually run out. Just buy more when the time comes.
These grains can last for at least a few years, so Bai Li is not worried.
What she was thinking about now was to ask Aunt Bai to make more food so that she could put it in the space and take it to the military camp to eat.
The granary was filled with rice and a dozen bags of flour were added.
There are also a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, soybeans, peanuts and other things placed next to them. My family can try to plant some in the spring of next year. If they can grow them, they will no longer have to worry about food in the future.
When Bai Li finished her work and came out, she was startled by a dark shadow squatting at the door.
It was completely dark outside, and the dark figure at the door looked quite scary in the dim candlelight.
Bai Li's night vision is as good as daylight, so he left the candlestick to grandma just now.
By the way, there are a lot of candles and lanterns from corrupt officials’ homes in the space. I’ll take them out later.
"Grandma, why don't you go back to your room first? Why are you squatting here..."
Li's feet were numb from squatting and she couldn't get up for a while.
"Don't worry, I'll help you."
"Is there any food? Let me see."
Li stood up and ignored her numb hands and feet, as if anxious to verify, and walked into the inner room in three or two steps.
Bai Li had no choice but to pick up the candlestick and follow.
Under the candlelight, the golden rice in the granary looked so unreal. Li picked up a few grains with her hands and took a bite before she felt the reality.
"Great! These are all rice grains. Once you grind off the husks, they become white rice!"
After a moment of joy, he suddenly thought of something and whispered into Bai Li's ear, "Are these the rice we harvested with our own hands?
Is this the reward from the Bodhisattva for our hard work? "
Bai Li: ...
Her grandmother is more imaginative than her.
Only now did she realize how obsessed her grandmother was with not being able to eat the rice she had harvested with her own hands.
Nodding and telling lies with open eyes.
"Well, the Bodhisattva saw how hard we worked, so he gave us the rice."
