"Miss Luo, the town you mentioned is just ahead. Shall we go there now?"
"We won't go today. Let's rest for now. Make sure to keep a close watch on the grain tonight. Also, one of you go and find out what's going on in that village!"
"OK!"
Despite being exhausted from the journey, Luo Yunhe had no intention of resting. He couldn't sleep because he had received news of Su Jingxuan, and his mind was constantly racing, wondering what had happened to Su Jingxuan in the past few years and what difficulties he had encountered.
Most importantly, they brought a full 100 dan (a unit of weight) of grain with them on this trip.
It was Lao Ba who went to gather information.
The news he brought back was that they were safe, so Luo Yunhe didn't think much of it. The next day, she took a bag of grain and headed towards the small village.
When they entered the village, it was unusually quiet. Only a few elderly people would occasionally sit in the doorway, which seemed to be quite normal for these outsiders.
Following the address, their large group arrived at a mountain peak, which wasn't very big.
The door was wide open at that moment, and there were only a few women inside.
"Are you sure this is the place?"
"This is it!"
The woman with the resentful seed quickly picked it when she saw the line, and the other women followed suit.
"You're here? Get the grain inside first!" The woman hurriedly told everyone to bring the grain inside, but Luo Yunhe stopped them at that moment.
"Wait!" Luo Yunhe's eyes were very unfriendly. His attitude was clear: this matter could not be completed without giving him a truthful explanation.
"Boss Luo, we know what you want to know, but this matter is extremely important, so let's get the grain in first, and we'll tell you in person later!"
After one of the women finished speaking, she called on everyone to carry the grain inside. Luo Yunhe did not stop them from carrying all the grain inside, and then the group entered the courtyard.
After everything was finished, Luo Yunhe led a group of people to guard the courtyard, while he sat in the living room waiting for the ladies in front of him to give him an explanation.
The woman did not become nervous because of Luo Yunhe's attitude. Instead, she generously made him some tea and sat down opposite him.
"Stop playing games with me, just say what you have to say!"
"Haha, I've heard that Miss Luo is quite unique, and seeing her today, it's truly as she says. However, Miss Luo, I bow to everyone behind us here to thank you for your daring journey to bring us this food!"
"What do you mean? Are you playing me?"
"No, no!" The woman waved her hand. "He is indeed still alive, and he is in one place. It's just that the world is too complicated. Both the capital and the border are in a state of chaos."
I simply cannot tell you where he is or what he is doing. I can only tell you that he is alive, and that all of this will soon be over. After everything is over, that is when you will meet again.
So if we need anything during this period, we will still ask Miss Luo for help.
"What you're saying is no different from saying nothing at all. If you really want my help, you should at least show some sincerity!"
He came here with 100% hope, but he never expected that the other party would only say such things to him.
His aunt had waited for four long years, how could she be swayed by these few words, and how could she possibly believe what she said?
"Please don't be angry! It's not that we don't want to tell you, it's that he doesn't want us to tell you, after all, it's too dangerous for him to be around."
This year's harvest is not very good, which is obvious to everyone. Why do you think they are short of food now?
There are some things I can only hint at, because if these things get out, everyone will suffer, including your Luo Family Winery.
He just wants you to be safe, he just wants you to do your own thing without any worries. He'll come back safely, you have to believe him.
The woman's eyes were sincere when she said those words, and Luo Yunhe unceremoniously sat down again.
"How much of what you're saying can I actually believe?"
"Miss Luo, you can believe every word I say!"
"What's your name? Why did you specifically ask us to deliver the food here?"
"Hey, don't let our age fool you, we were all once formidable figures."
If it weren't for the instigation of wars in recent years, coupled with this year's poor harvest—food supplies had already been insufficient since the end of last year—it would have been truly remarkable that we could have survived until now.
The weather has gotten cold, and I'm worried that, like this year, the weather will change again, so I have to prepare in advance.
"Miss Luo, don't worry. Once things succeed, everything will come to light, and then you'll know whether what I said is true or false. After all, you already know about this place, don't you?"
Seeing that the other party was not lying and did not seem guilty, Luo Yunhe simply stood up. Although he did not get any more useful information, he was relieved to know that the other party was still alive and well and that he was unable to contact him.
"Alright! If you need anything, you can disguise yourselves and go to my place to buy alcohol, or you can have someone burn my heart. But I hope you won't lie to me. I hold grudges very much. If I find out that you've been deceiving me, you can imagine the consequences. I'll find you even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth!"
He left after saying that, taking his men with him.
Watching them leave, the woman breathed a slight sigh of relief and continued to instruct the others to load the grain onto carts and send it to the border overnight.
It took them a lot of time to get there, but when they went back, they only wasted half a month.
Luo Yunhe returned home with a heavy heart.
Another year of heavy snow has arrived, but this year's snow is quite different from previous years; it came early and went quickly.
This is the fifth year.
Looking at the situation outside, Luo Yunhe was constantly troubled by many things. Because he didn't know the truth, he was still struggling with these thoughts.
However, he still prayed in his heart that Su Jingxuan would return safely, and when he did, he would definitely ask him what had happened.
In January, Luo Yunhe received a letter. Upon reading its contents, she unceremoniously loaded all the alcohol she had brewed onto a cart and also sent out nearly 200 dan (a unit of weight) of grain.
