Song Lili was secretly pleased, but she didn't show it on her face. Looking at Luo Juan's angry face, she realized that Luo Juan was taking her anger out on her.
However, as long as we don't mess with these few people right now, it's fine.
So what if they don't give her food and water? If they don't give her any, why can't she?
Therefore, this was not a problem for Song Lili at all.
Luo Juan was so angry with Song Lili that she lost all interest in caring about anyone else. She didn't even wait for Song Lili's lackeys before storming off with her men.
After all of Luo Juan's people had left, Song Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief. "How did they get arrested so suddenly?" Song Lili asked, still shaken.
"Luo Juan really knows how to play this game," Zhang Qinghua said sarcastically.
"Never mind, as long as they're alright, that's all that matters. I'll go prepare some food and bring it over to them tonight," Song Lili said.
At this moment, she didn't want to think about why Luo Juan suddenly arrested Mu Shaohua and the others; she just wanted Luo Juan to be gone.
The people watching over the cowshed were Red Guards from Hongqi Village; they all knew their place and wouldn't mistreat anyone.
Daqing still couldn't figure it out. "What exactly is going on?"
"I don't know." Song Lili said these three words and left. Zhang Qinghua simply patted Daqing on the shoulder and followed her away.
This left Daqing even more confused. What did this mean?
Song Lili quickly prepared the food, thought for a moment, grabbed a thermos, and then headed towards the cowshed.
The cowshed was located at the foot of the mountain between the Third and Fourth Production Teams, some distance from the village, and there were hardly any people there at night.
Song Lili wasn't rushing them because she was worried they'd be hungry, since it wasn't lunchtime yet, and besides, it was only noon.
What she feared was that some of the people wouldn't be able to handle it.
Having just escaped one vortex, and with only a few days left, he's been caught again.
People with weak mental resilience might do something bad, which is why Song Lili was in a hurry to deliver the gift.
It was just to comfort them and tell them not to worry, that things would be fine in a few days.
When they arrived at the mountain god temple, they saw Qin Hongxia standing in front of them with these people, as if she was giving them instructions.
Upon seeing Song Lili, Qin Hongxia was somewhat surprised. "What brings you here?"
"I'm here to deliver something to them. May I go in and take a look?"
"Of course." Although Qin Hongxia was curious as to why Song Lili would give these people gifts, she didn't ask.
Now, she has a resistance to knowing anything about Song Lili, for fear of suddenly touching on Song Lili's taboos.
So when Song Lili asked, she immediately agreed and even took the initiative to lead the way and open the door for Song Lili.
Song Lili nodded to Qin Hongxia, then took her things inside. Qin Hongxia didn't follow, but instead considerately closed the door.
This was Song Lili's first time here, and she had no idea what was inside.
But once inside, I was shocked. This... this is no place for a human to live! The only decent thing was the door.
The door to the mountain god temple looks pretty good from the outside; it's not new, but it looks quite sturdy.
But little did they know, the interior was not only incredibly spacious, but there was also a large hole in the back wall, and the wind was howling in from the outside.
How can a person not catch a cold after staying in a place like this for one night? Even on a hot day, a person would feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the wind all night.
Song Lili couldn't even imagine how a person could survive in the dead of winter.
Looking at it this way, she felt bad again, wondering how many people were going through such suffering.
Perhaps there are even more difficult places than this?
Song Lili sniffed, suppressed her emotions, and walked towards the few people who were all looking at her.
"I brought you some food, please have some first."
Song Lili placed the basket on the ground and the thermos aside before uncovering the cloth covering the basket.
Inside was a large ceramic jar, with a bowl next to it. There was also a pair of chopsticks.
"I only brought one bowl, so you'll have to take turns eating. I also brought some hot water; you can drink some if it gets cold." This hot water is for the evening.
Song Lili didn't care what the others thought. "You'll probably be staying here for the next few days, but don't worry too much. The people outside won't make things difficult for you."
"I'll bring you food these next few days, and that's about it."
Song Lili blurted out everything in one breath, then stood up and said, "I've delivered the things, I'll be leaving now."
As he spoke, regardless of how many people were there, he picked up his basket and walked towards the door.
"Thanks"
As Song Lili reached the door, she suddenly heard a hoarse voice. Turning around, she saw Huang Zhen looking at her gratefully.
Song Lili smiled, a genuine smile, but her eyes were wet with tears.
She shook her head. "No need to thank me. I was just doing what someone asked me to do." With that, she left.
What she didn't know was that when she said she was acting on someone's behalf, the reactions of the different people were quite different.
There was confusion, shock, emotion, panic, and even joy.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't figure out who had asked Song Lili to help take care of them.
"Whether someone asked us to or not, we still want to thank this young girl. She has helped us several times already," Huang Zhen said with a smile.
"Yes, it's because she's kind-hearted. Otherwise, even if she had promised someone, no one would have said anything if she didn't do it under these circumstances," Mu Shaohua added.
"Let's see," Zhong Hu said curtly.
Guqin didn't say anything, her eyes were fixed on the hole in the wall, and she seemed to be thinking about something. After a long while, she finally said, "Let's eat."
However, her fingers, hidden in her sleeve, were still trembling slightly, and her face was still a little pale.
To be honest, if Song Lili hadn't come, she probably would have already lost control of her emotions and broken down.
Song Lili's arrival brought more than just food; it also calmed her down, easing her earlier fear and anxiety.
The others stopped talking after hearing this, but they still gave the first bowl of food to Guqin so that she could eat first.
Guqin was unpretentious; she poured herself a bowl of porridge and ate it without any complaints.
In this day and age, having porridge to eat is already quite good. Besides, this porridge contains several kinds of vegetables, so it's not bad at all.
She knew that if she didn't eat, these big men wouldn't eat first; they would only act after she ate.
Therefore, she has to eat.
But no one saw that, with her head bowed and shoveling the mushy food into her mouth, a tear fell into her eye, creating a tiny ripple before disappearing and returning to stillness.
