Chapter 76: About Famine

At this point, Su Heping paused and continued, "By the way, your second brother went to the county these two days and only came back last night. I just found out that it was you and Mu Yang who told me that there was a famine in the south? How did you know about this? Your eldest brother told me about this some time ago and asked our village to make more preparations, but the news from the south has not yet reached us. It would not be appropriate for me to rashly mobilize our village to store grain, so this matter can only be left as it is for the time being.

When the news from the south reaches us, the village can take action! But how did you know this? I remember that you haven't been out since the New Year! You only started going to Zhenshang County in the past few days! Mingyue, did you come into contact with anyone?"

Su Mingyue stared at Su Heping's face which was gradually becoming serious. She took a deep breath and slowly said, "Uncle, you think too much! I just found out about it, and you know that I like reading newspapers! My second brother told you that he heard the news from me, so he must have told you that I overheard other people's conversations by accident. As for whether this disaster is coming, I figured it out myself!

After all, in winter, we usually have a lot of heavy snow, but this year there were only a few, and most of the snow was small! In addition, I read in the newspaper that there was a flood in the south, and I suddenly had a strong intuition in my heart - maybe this disaster will be a major disaster that sweeps across the country! So I quickly asked my second brother to find out more about the relevant news, so that we can make adequate preparations in advance!"

After listening to Su Mingyue's detailed explanation, Su Heping's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. His originally stern face also gradually relaxed as she spoke, no longer as serious and cold as before.

When he confirmed that his niece had not come into contact with any dangerous or suspicious person, Su Heping finally smiled with relief. He was very proud of Su Mingyue for being so sensitive to things.

He said to Su Mingyue in a gentle voice: "Mingyue, you have done a great job! As for the situation in the south, I have asked someone to find out, and I believe there will be news in a few days. Don't make it public for now! Otherwise, it will attract the attention of people with bad intentions. If that happens, it will be difficult for them to deal with you!" ×

When he said this, Su Heping looked around sharply to make sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation.

He breathed a sigh of relief, then bent down unconsciously and lowered his voice so that Su Muyang and Su Mingyue in front of him could barely hear him.

He said to the two of them with a serious face, "Actually, I didn't intend to tell you about this. But you two went to the county to inquire about the news without knowing it. If someone with ulterior motives knew about it, you would be in danger.

In that case, I will not hide it any more and tell you everything! You don't know, but there is a spy in our county! After a series of rigorous checks, we found that our town is the most suspicious place.

Because we have not found any clues or information about the spy, the higher-ups have been keeping this matter strictly confidential. Logically, I shouldn't have disclosed this confidential information to you, but I'm afraid that your actions over the past few days may cause some unnecessary trouble or danger.

So today I will tell you two about these situations. Remember, do not reveal a word to outsiders, do you understand?

This is to protect your own personal safety! Also, from now on, if you encounter similar situations or other difficult problems, you must not act rashly or do things on your own. You must inform me in advance so that I know what is going on. Do you understand?"

After hearing what Su Heping said, Su Muyang and Su Mingyue were stunned. It took them a long time to recover from their extreme shock.

When they heard Su Heping's last few words of warning, which were a little serious, they nodded their heads and said in unison, "Got it, Uncle | Dad! We will definitely keep it in mind."

Seeing that the two had written down his words, Su Heping nodded to them and continued, "Don't worry about this anymore. Just stay in the village and don't go anywhere! Your eldest brother and I will take care of the rest!"

Su Mingyue nodded and said, "I understand, uncle!"

Su Muyang also nodded, and then changed the subject: "Mingyue, are you adapting to your work in the warehouse? Are you tired?"

"Brother, if the work in the warehouse is tiring, I'm afraid there is no easy work in this village. Haha, what I do in the warehouse is pretty good! It's not tiring!"

When Su Heping heard his son asking such a stupid question, he looked away with some disgust. It was really unbearable to watch!

Seeing that everything had been clarified, Su Heping wanted to take Su Muyang back home. Su Mingyue sent the father and son to the door, then took Su Qingfeng back to the house and started cooking.

The next day, Su Mingyue got up early again, just like yesterday, and went to the warehouse after washing up.

After all the villagers received their tools, Su Mingyue locked the warehouse door and went home to make breakfast.

As for the educated youth who had just arrived yesterday, since it was their first day and they arrived a little late yesterday, the team leader did not let them go to work today. Instead, he gave them a day off to buy things. There were some things they had to buy right away, such as the things they needed for eating, pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. They had to buy them at the supply and marketing cooperative in the town.

After Su Mingyue finished breakfast, she asked Su Qingfeng to go play with his friends. She said that they would go to look for pig grass with Ergou and get two work points.

Su Mingyue ignored him and went deep into the mountains. Once she was on the mountain, she used her spiritual power to explore the surroundings. The weather gradually became warmer, and the small animals in the mountains became more and more numerous. Su Mingyue was having a lot of fun hunting, and before she knew it, she came to the cave with the cherry blossom information from last time.

Su Mingyue was about to go somewhere else when she heard someone talking in the cave with her mental power. She used her mental power to probe inside and found two men in the cave.

Both men were ordinary people. If they were thrown into the village, they would be the kind of people you would forget after seeing them once. They were dressed the same as the villagers. If you hadn't heard them talking about cherry blossoms, you would have thought they were villagers from some village who had mistakenly intruded!
