"Brother, you're so thoughtful."
Lin Shansheng patted Lin Chaosheng on the shoulder, and the two went down the mountain together to the brigade headquarters.
On the way back, they caught a few more rabbits, but they were all tired of eating them now. However, it would be nice to take them back for a treat.
The two descended the mountain and arrived at the brigade headquarters.
"Captain, are you there? This is Chaosheng."
Lin Chaosheng stepped into the brigade headquarters and ran into the brigade leader who was about to come out.
"Oh dear, I was just about to go look for you guys, and you've come to my door on your own."
Lin Shansheng chuckled and replied, "What do you want from us, Captain?"
"What else can we do? Of course, we'll divide up the wild boar meat!"
"We'll divide it according to the old rules this time, but you'll get one pig's head, how about that?"
The captain said with a grin, and Lin Chaosheng naturally wouldn't refuse.
"That's wonderful! We have to thank the captain for that. But we've come to tell you even better news!"
"There's more good news! You two have given me enough good news already!" Upon hearing that there was more good news, the captain couldn't stop smiling. He reached for the teacup on the table. "Tell me, what amazing news is this?"
Lin Chaosheng said casually, "It's not anything great. It's just that when Shansheng and I went hunting in the mountains, we encountered some strange phenomena."
"Okay, please continue. What strange phenomenon is it?"
"Shanshan and I found a big black bear, and several wild boars that must weigh at least four or five hundred pounds each. There were also many fat rabbits, pheasants and other small birds."
"Moreover, all these animals came out from the same direction. The more Shansheng and I looked, the more we felt something was wrong, so we followed the direction they came from and crept inside."
Lin Shansheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, guess what we saw? We saw a big cave, but it was too dark inside, so my brother and I didn't dare to go in."
"We looked into that hole for a while and saw a lot of animals coming out of it. Some even went inside on purpose and came out again after a while."
Lin Chaosheng nodded, thinking that his younger brother was a promising young man.
"So we were wondering if there might be some food or something in there, otherwise this is too weird. You know, we've practically turned that barren mountain upside down, and we haven't even found a single blade of grass. How come so many wild animals are so fat?"
Upon hearing this, the captain's expression immediately turned serious.
"Chaosheng, Shansheng, your discovery is very important. I'll organize some men to go up the mountain right away. If we find any grain, you two will definitely get a good reward."
As soon as the captain spoke, Lin Chaosheng and Lin Shansheng knew that the matter was settled, since they had personally witnessed that there was grain in the warehouse.
"Alright, then the two of us will lead the way for you and the other brothers!"
The captain acted quickly, and soon gathered more than twenty brothers to go up the mountain with Lin Shansheng and his brother.
With someone leading the way, many of the twists and turns were avoided, and they soon arrived at the cave where the grain was stored.
"Light all the torches," the captain ordered in a deep voice. "Go in first with Chaosheng, and Shansheng and Weihe will stay behind to cover the way."
More than twenty people immediately headed into the cave.
"Captain, there seem to be candles here!"
After Lin Chaosheng went inside, he pretended not to notice the candles on the wall. Sure enough, others noticed them.
The captain checked it and tried to light a candle with a torch. He found that the candle was not damp and could actually be lit.
He was very excited.
Because if there really was food hidden inside, since the candles weren't damp, the food must also be dry; it might just have gotten a little heavier.
But this is a famine year. It's already good enough to have food to eat. Who cares if it's new or old?
"Everyone be careful. Look around the walls for candles. If you see any, light them all so we can see what's ahead more clearly."
At the captain's command, everyone began searching along the wall.
The road wasn't long; we reached the end of it in no time.
"My God, Captain, look! What's that?!"
At this moment, someone burst into a cry of surprise.
The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw that there was a mountain of grain in front of them.
"It's just a bag of rice, flour, and oil!"
Some people could no longer contain their excitement and ran forward with torches.
Their excitement was palpable when they saw the grain.
"The captain has so much grain that it's enough to feed our village for many years. Now we don't have to worry about not having enough to eat anymore!"
The man spoke excitedly, and even the captain's face showed an excitement that Lin Chaosheng had never seen before.
"Yes, it's all thanks to Chaosheng and Sansheng. Don't worry, you two, I will definitely report this truthfully to the higher-ups and have you two properly rewarded. Even if the grain is distributed more generously, and your family gets a share, we will have no complaints. Brothers, don't you agree?"
"Yes, we agree!"
"The captain is right. If it weren't for the courage and resourcefulness of the two of you in discovering this place, many more of us might have starved to death this year."
Seeing the villagers' attitude, Lin Chaosheng suddenly felt that leaving 20% of the grain was the right thing to do, and that it wasn't a waste.
"This includes not only rice and wheat flour, but also corn, taro, potatoes, and other whole grains!"
"Look here! There are vegetable seeds here!"
"It's a pity that all these eggplants and peppers are rotten, otherwise we could have eaten so much more..."
"Alright, stop lamenting. We still have seeds, don't we? Although the weather is still a bit dry, it's not like before when there wasn't a single drop of rain. Didn't we have a heavy rain a while ago? We can try to replant our crops."
The captain comforted everyone, saying that no matter what, discovering these things was already quite remarkable.
"Everyone, listen to my instructions. Let's move all these things down the mountain in an orderly manner."
"Remember, no one is allowed to keep anything for themselves. Chaosheng and I will register at the warehouse entrance, while Weihe and Shansheng will register at the brigade entrance down the mountain. In the end, I will compile a list of names and all the items that have been moved down. No one should take any chances."
The captain's arrangements were very reasonable, and no one complained at all; they immediately got to work.
What are you moving?
The road down the mountain to the brigade office will definitely pass by the village entrance.
So many people witnessed this scene and marveled at it.
"What do you mean by carrying sacks of stuff like that these days? What's going on?"
"Of course it's good stuff!"
