"Village Chief, why are you still at home?"
The head of the family next door to Lao Jiang's house was a little anxious when he saw that most of the villagers had left.
But the village chief lives next door to his house, and he knows best whether the village chief has left or not.
I thought that going early would only result in the cold.
So I just stayed at home.
But even in the warm room, he felt a little uneasy.
Finally, he couldn't help but rush to Old Jiang's house and began to urge Jiang Xian.
"Didn't I agree on an hour?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's too early. If everyone isn't there, you'll have to wait."
Jiang Xian knocked the ash from his pipe. Why is this old man Jiang so unsteady?
"Oh, my great village chief, the villagers have already gone there and are waiting for you!"
"If I didn't live next door to you, I would have left long ago!"
"You'd better pack up and leave quickly. If it gets any darker, you really won't be able to see anything!"
How could Old Jiang not be anxious? This matter concerns food, who can remain calm?
"It's their business if they want to go early and endure the cold. Even if they go before dark, they have to wait until dark before they can act!"
"There are still more than 20 minutes left. If you can't wait, you can go and freeze it first!"
Jiang Xian calmly lit another cigarette for himself and said that one hour was one hour, not even a minute earlier.
These people are all old. Except for a few young people who have lost their elders and are in charge of the family, most of the families are headed by old men in their fifties or sixties.
You are so old, who can you blame for being so impatient?
Although he said that, Jiang Xian's smoking speed was obviously faster.
Under Lao Jiangtou's constant urging, he finally put the pipe on the edge of the kang.
Then he picked up the basket on the kang and followed Old Jiang out of the house.
"village head!"
"village head!"
As soon as Jiang Xian reached Houpo Ridge, he was stared at by a pair of glowing green eyes.
"Didn't we agree to meet in an hour? Why are you here so early?"
"If this is discovered, will you still want food?"
As the head of the village, Jiang Xian didn't have a good face towards these people at this time.
"Don't worry, Village Chief! We've guarded every intersection, and no one will ever notice us gathering here!"
"Yes, village chief, we are all smart!"
"You'd better take us to find some food. If we're too late, the rats might eat a few pounds of our food!"
Although everyone's lips turned purple from the cold, no one complained because of the temptation of food.
"Okay!"
"Leave a few of you behind to see if there's anyone following us. Everyone else, follow me!"
The village chief carried a basket and brought his men to the small platform in the bamboo forest.
In fact, besides Jiang Yanzhi and his friends, many people also know about this place, but because it is too remote, not many people come here on weekdays.
At this time, except for some people who didn't know this place, everyone else was calmly waiting for the village chief's instructions.
"See this hole?"
Jiang Xi'an pointed to the big crack where Tang Xinyi had hidden.
"Village chief, is the food in there?" a villager asked jealously.
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If it's not inside, why is the village chief pointing it at it?"
Another villager pushed the man away and looked into the cave entrance.
"This hole is not big. It seems that only thin people can enter it!"
The villager squatted on the ground and looked inside for a long time. He wanted to crawl in, but unfortunately, although he was thin, he had a big frame and could not crawl in.
"Village Chief, please let me in. I'm short and my clothes aren't thick, so there's absolutely no problem getting in!"
"And me, I'm not that tall either, so I can take off my thick cotton jacket and go in, no problem at all!"
Before Jiang Xian could give any instructions, several villagers stood up.
"We've already found out about the food inside, and I know how much there is. So now I'm going to select a few short people to go in and take out the food!"
"If you want to get in, come out and sign up. Each person can get two steamed buns for free. There's hot water here so you can eat them. After you finish eating, you can go back to work!"
"If you're too stubborn, don't come. Don't blame me for scolding you later!"
The village chief looked at the few short men who stood up. Most of them were elderly people in their fifties or sixties, and there were only two young people whose families had split up early and became the masters of their own families.
In fact, this crack is only smaller at the entrance, and the space becomes larger as you go deeper!
The village chief watched as each of these people received two steamed buns and swallowed them all with a bowl of hot water.
Some were so anxious that they choked and their throats were ache.
If the village chief hadn't been keeping an eye on these people, they would have secretly hidden one and taken it home to feed their children.
It was only after the village chief threatened them that they would not get any more food if they didn't finish eating that they finally swallowed the two steamed buns.
"Those who have finished their meals, come and get a bag. Those who go in to fill their food are not allowed to be selfish. Just put the food directly into this small bag!"
"Whether good or bad, no one else is allowed to have opinions. Every household should hold their own bags. When the person inside fills a bag, one bag will be given away!"
"Those who receive the food can go home first, or they can wait for the people behind them to join them!"
As the village chief finished speaking, a few people who were quick had already finished eating two steamed buns and drank a glass of water, then immediately came over, picked up the bags and went into the cave.
One after another, a total of 7 people.
Only when they all arrived at the cave did they realize that there was so much food inside.
Of course, Tang Xinyi had already carefully told Jiang Xian the location of the entrance that she had blocked before, and the old village chief had also explained it clearly to them, so they entered very smoothly.
