Chapter 281 Things, Intended



It was truly overflowing. I opened it briefly and saw that it had everything: cotton, cotton cloth, various ironware, farm tools, knives, and a lot of weapons, daily necessities, new pots and pans, and even a radio, which is not cheap in the city these days.

From the entrance to the inside, there are neatly stacked grains at the very back.

Jian Dan started collecting things as soon as she entered, and now she's a bit confused. This is clearly a large warehouse, but who is hiding all these things? They're so complete, it looks like they were prepared for building a new home.

There are dozens of tons of grain, not just the corn that is abundant here, but also rice and wheat flour.

Further on, she was even more puzzled; there were some snacks: biscuits, milk powder, canned meat, and compressed biscuits.

Judging by this gesture, hmm, it doesn't seem like an official operation, and she's no longer ashamed.

After all, the treatment of Cheng Chao's troops is what it is. What level must they be to have such a generous allowance of rice, flour, and canned meat?

Following this trend, the next step should be meat and vegetables, but that's not the case right now.

However, she accepted them all without any hesitation. After all, judging from the marks on the ground, these things had been there for at least several months, and the dust was quite thick.

The area in front was empty. After walking around, I found some boxes hidden in a small corner. I didn't even look at them and just put them away.

The empty cave, deep in the mountains, was still a bit unsettling, but since we were already inside, we decided to muster our courage and venture further in.

Not far away, he heard the familiar crowing of a rooster. Jian Dan immediately felt the hairs on his body smooth out, and his steps became lighter. When he encountered a fork in the road, he didn't hesitate at all and headed straight for the road where the rooster was crowing.

After walking at least 300 meters, I easily spotted a small pheasant turning around, and also a box.

The boxes were stacked neatly, from the ground to the ceiling, completely blocking the hole.

It was too heavy to move, so I simply put the box in front of me inside and put another box on the ground before I could examine it carefully.

I don't know when it was placed there, but the wood doesn't look damaged at all.

Don't open the top cover. Inside, it's wrapped tightly in black oil paper. Looking at this, Jian Dan's heart started pounding. It must be something good.

They didn't dare to use much force, gently scraping off the outer layer of oil paper, peeling it off layer by layer, and simply covering their eyes with the slap before slamming the lid shut.

After calming down, it took me a while to open it again.

I squinted first, as if by conditioned reflex.

The box was full of gleaming gold bars; the top one was quite heavy.

To be honest, I was completely baffled.

She'd seen plenty of these things before. In her past life, money was just a number to her. She had a lot of these things, but they were just kept in safes.

But she slowly turned her head away. She had already collected one side, and there was still so much left inside. What kind of place was this? It must weigh tens of tons, right?

She packed up and walked out, completely numb.

Considering the food, clothing, and other necessities available outside, could it be that someone's descendants are going to guard the treasure left by their ancestors?

Thinking about it this way, I always feel uncertain.

She likes money and likes you to hoard things, but those things are either yours or unclaimed.

If something already belongs to someone, then touching it again changes the nature of the situation.

Moreover, she really doesn't covet other people's things.

The Jian and Su families are wealthy, and Sheng Zhiyuan gave the Sheng family a lot of things. In addition, her base space is a priceless treasure, so she is not so easily swayed.

Distracted, he didn't even bother to look closely at the other fork in the road. He knew it was also a box, so he gathered his things there, climbed the rope back up to the cliff, put the stones back in their place, and then climbed the tree to find his way.

She got lost after being chased by a big black bear.

Fortunately, she had a good ability to adapt to the wild and quickly found the plant she had seen on the way there.

The descent was much faster. By the end of the afternoon, the mountain path was mostly dry, and the evening glow had already appeared. She didn't dare to dawdle any longer and hurried back.

Today, Jianxin not only taught Xiaohua to recognize words, but also had Huzi who kept pestering her to hear stories. She was so busy that she was late and came in a few minutes later than Jianxin, without even noticing that her older sister had gone out to play by herself.

"Sister, I'm back!"

Jian Dan had just finished cooking, and seeing the child still seemed a little uneasy, she had a feeling that she was doing something wrong behind her family's back.

"You're back? Wash your hands, dinner's coming up. How about we have steamed egg custard and rice for dinner?"

She was too lazy to cook, so the rice and steamed egg custard were cooked in one pot.

That night, after the child fell asleep, she went into the base space to check what she had collected that day, wanting to see if any of these items had any family markings or similar items, when she remembered the last box she had collected.

When she opened it, she was stunned, numb, and speechless.

Did she raid a bandit's den?

The things I saw on the mountain last time were packed in sacks, and now there are boxes and boxes of them, all crammed together.

Suddenly, she couldn't do it anymore.

She used to deal with these things frequently in her past life, but not in this one. In this life, she's just a young intellectual sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution. At most, she has better conditions and more good things, but she really doesn't want to deal with these things anymore.

She then looked through the food and supplies. The items were good, but how was she going to use them?

Biscuit cans, milk powder, and other food products labeled with foreign languages?

A whole box of broadswords?

Dozens of tons of rice and flour?

And what about the compressed biscuits that Cheng Chao and his troops stationed there didn't even have?

Even a simple question like this is giving me a headache.

She can keep the farm tools, and later find a reason to help the village replace them. The gold can also be put aside for now, and a plan can be made after the environment improves, whether to donate it or something.

However, this current chaos, even if taken out into the open, would be a target of contention among various factions, and probably not much of it could be used for legitimate purposes.

But those things definitely need to be taken out. As for the target, the first choice is definitely the garrison. After all, we've been dealing with them for so long, we have a very good relationship, and she has a good feeling about them.

She believed that once these things were in their hands, they would definitely be used by everyone.

She remembered Cheng Chao saying that the garrison here was relatively normal, and Lin Zhengde and Cheng Jin were keeping a close eye on things, so those monsters and demons couldn't be forced in for the time being.

Especially during this lean season, they should really need these things.

The next day, unsurprisingly, was another sunny day.

Li Yan and the others came to call her early on, and the villagers also went up the mountain in groups.

"I'm not going. You guys go ahead. I need to tidy up the house."

They knew that Cheng Chao often came to visit Jian Xin, and they also knew that Jian Xin's uncle often sent things through others. Since Jian Xin and the other two were not short of food, they did not insist.
