The next day, Chu Xi put on disguise again and placed the supplies directly in the empty yard.
It was similar to yesterday, with twenty bags of rice, twenty bags of cornmeal, five wild boars, and a lot of mountain products and fruits.
This time she didn't wait there foolishly. She planned to ask someone to deliver a message directly. After all, we are here to deliver supplies. It would be inappropriate to ask me to wait.
Of course, I was mainly worried about the large number of people in the army. If I went there and someone noticed something, it would be troublesome. I was not afraid, but it would be bad if my man couldn't explain himself.
While Chu Xi was thinking at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a child of six or seven years old. He was dressed neatly and looked energetic, not the kind of child who had been spoiled. He was probably a child from a nearby village.
"Little boy, can you do me a favor?"
Just looking at the child's vigilant eyes, Chu Xi suddenly felt as if he was committing a crime of kidnapping a child.
"Just go to the army unit at the intersection ahead and ask for someone. They know me. I'll give you two White Rabbit candies. Just give this note to the uncle at the door."
The wary child's eyes lit up when he heard about White Rabbit Milk Candy. He also knew the military compound and was very familiar with the area, so he nodded and agreed immediately.
"I can go, but Auntie, you have to give me a White Rabbit candy first. Once the job is done, you can give me another one."
Looking at the childish yet somewhat shrewd eyes, Chu Xi laughed out loud.
"Okay, it's done. I'll give you two more. Keep your word!"
So the kid ran to the military compound, clutching the candy in one hand and the note in the other. This was a sure win. My mom would definitely praise me when I got home, and I could show it off to Xiaohu, Xiaoshi, and the others...
Feeling the sentry at the door accept the note, Chu Xi knew that the matter was settled.
Sure enough, within five minutes, the quartermaster rushed out with a group of people. Seeing them all sweating and panting, Chu Xi was speechless. Is it necessary to be so anxious? It's not like he can run away...
Chu Xi took out two more candies and just sent the child away when the quartermaster rushed over. Looking at his excited expression, Chu Xi did not say anything. She was afraid that if she spoke, the quartermaster would have endless things to say to her.
"Just like yesterday, don't mention the money. Consider it my greetings to the people's soldiers on behalf of Limengshan!"
"You are absolutely not allowed to follow and investigate me, otherwise there will be nothing left."
Chu Xi's words stopped the quartermaster from speaking. Looking at his anxious face that had turned purple, Chu Xi knew that he must not say any more.
Chu Xi's sudden seriousness made the quartermaster's heart jump. He didn't know whether the regiment had sent anyone to check these supplies, some of which were of unknown origin.
For a moment, the quartermaster was at a loss for words. He was deeply grateful to this mysterious sister-in-law for donating so much during this difficult time. Her background must be so profound; how could she remain unknown? But they didn't dare investigate. Isn't it wonderful to just wait for something to fall from the sky? Yet, he felt a little ashamed.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, this will never happen!" The quartermaster said this with absolute certainty. He decided to report the matter immediately and prevent it from happening in advance.
As they were talking, several people entered the yard. Looking at the huge piles of supplies, the eyes of those who came this time were red, even though they had already eaten them yesterday.
But in order to save money for the long term, they did not dare to eat too much. In addition, they had to share some of the food with the border checkpoints, where the hardships were even worse and supplies were even more scarce. So they could only eat meat and did not eat much.
Touching the crystal clear rice, the golden, delicate and uniform cornmeal, and the five sturdy wild boars, they were all a little bit unbelievable, or even dazed.
"Can you tell me what the group urgently needs right now? I'll see if I have any, or you can ask the leader when you get back..."
"Huh?" Before Chu Xi could finish her words, the quartermaster exclaimed in surprise. "This pie in the sky, and you can choose the flavor?" This was too much.
If you're saying you're missing something, you're basically missing everything. Is that even possible? They've generously given you so many things, wouldn't it be embarrassing to bring it up again?
"Don't overthink it. I'll do my best. Besides, maybe we're the richer ones..."
Seeing his hesitant and conflicted look, Chu Xi said calmly.
Thinking of the sad face of the regiment commander when he last saw him, he hardened his heart.
"If, if possible, could you please sell us some staple foods? We also need some flour. After all, there are many soldiers from the north here. Also, there's salt and other things. We have too little rations and it's difficult to purchase. The soldiers are in urgent need of these..."
He finished his words haltingly, not daring to say more. However, his face, full of hope, made Chu Xi secretly laugh. Why did he look like a husky waiting for food under the table...
Bah, bah, bah, they are our own soldiers, you can’t say that.
"Okay, here's the key. Come back to this yard in the evening to pick up the goods."
After saying this, he handed over the key without another word, turned around and walked out of the yard, leaving behind the quartermaster with a melancholy look on his face.
This person is a great benefactor of the army. Is it really okay to do this?
Chu Xi played with Xiao Shitou in the space for a long time. When he came out, the yard had already been emptied, so Chu Xi started his own tricks again.
She took out five tons of flour, all in unmarked bags. Staple food was the thing she stockpiled the most in the space, so giving away dozens of tons was just a drop in the bucket.
Then have the morning portion of rice and cornmeal again.
