Lin Wanjun had already found a place to "hide the food".
There was an abandoned cave about one kilometer away from the cadre school. No one dared to approach it because of rumors of ghosts in the early years. This provided Lin Wanjun with an opportunity.
After all, the people in the cadre schools had received cultural education and did not have such a strong fear of ghosts and gods.
And now they are almost starving to death, no ghosts or demons can stop their determination to get food.
When they heard that there was food, the people who had been hungry for two days were so excited that they cried out in excitement. Without even being mobilized, they pushed carts and carried shoulder poles and rushed to the haunted cave in a mighty procession.
Lin Wanjun arrived earlier.
She did not provide rice and flour as generously as last time, but instead took out 1,000 kilograms of wheat, 1,000 kilograms of corn, and 500 kilograms of millet, sorghum and other coarse grains from the space in advance.
When they pushed open the cave door and lifted the waterproof plastic sheet covering it, the starving people were very excited when they saw the food piled up like a mountain. Some of them even couldn't help but hugged the food bags and cried out loud.
"Everyone, listen carefully! This life-saving food was given to us by Lin Wanjun. No one in the cadre school can forget this kindness!"
Qin Sijun stood in front of the hill of grain holding a torch and spoke loudly.
Hearing this, people's eyes widened in shock.
"What? Doctor Lin got us food? Even Principal Wei couldn't get food. How did she get it?"
"This much food would have to fit on a truck, but the road is completely blocked right now, so the trucks can't get in!"
…
People were talking about it, and Qin Sijun raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.
"I've asked Xiaolin about this. You all probably know that she once saved Minister Yang's life."
"The last time Xiaolin went to the provincial capital, he took into account the food shortage issue and asked Minister Yang to find a truckload of food and secretly store it here."
A jeer came from the crowd.
"Oh, Lin Wan-jun was prepared! Did she deliberately set fire to the granary so that she could give us some food when we were desperate and make us feel grateful to her?"
Lin Wanjun stood on tiptoe to take a look and saw that the person who spoke was Zhao Shuping.
"You, Zhao Shuping, I'm talking about you!"
Pointing in Zhao Shuping's direction, Lin Wanjun said loudly, "I don't need your gratitude, but you, too, shouldn't eat the food I give you. Let's all have some backbone, okay?"
Zhao Shuping paused for a moment, then shouted, "Why aren't you giving me food? This is the cadre school's property, and I originally had a share!"
"Property of the cadre school? Haha, the grain hasn't been taken away yet, so it's still mine. I have the right to choose who to give it to."
Lin Wanjun scoffed and said, "There's a snowstorm this year, so food is definitely in short supply. I can use it to help the Hanyang Commune. At least, the members of other communes won't waste their food."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people in the cadre school, who had just seen hope, began to panic.
At this moment, anyone who dares to stop them from transporting food will be their common enemy.
"Zhao Shuping, you're a dog under Meng Yongli, and you're well fed and well watered, so you don't care about the lives of the rest of us?"
"Dr. Lin was kind enough to save us, but you deliberately stirred up trouble for your own personal vendetta. You're truly vicious!"
…
The more people talked, the angrier they became. Someone started slapping Zhao Shuping in the face.
The women around surrounded Zhao Shuping, screaming and pushing her to the ground, and beat her up.
Someone said, "Doctor Lin, we are not ungrateful people. This is a great favor that comes in handy, and we will definitely remember it."
During her time in the cadre school, Lin Wanjun was actually not bullied much.
Since she entered the excrement removal class, everyone around her has shown her great kindness and care.
She would not watch the people in the cadre school starve to death. This batch of food was originally prepared for the cadre school.
It was just that Wei Yifu, in order to so-called consider the overall situation, forced Dong Yingying into her home to disgust her, so she proposed to sell the grain at the black market price.
Lin Wanjun smiled and said to Qin Sijun, "Uncle Qin, let's get everyone to bring in the food. We can grind the flour overnight so we can have a full meal tomorrow morning."
Qin Sijun patted Lin Wanjun on the shoulder, his face full of relief and pride.
"Xiao Lin, you will definitely be someone who does great things in the future!"
Following Qin Sijun's order, everyone began to pull grain with excitement and joy.
Some people used carts to pull grain, and some carried grain on shoulder poles. The women were weak, so they stood by the roadside holding torches to light the way for the men to transport grain.
Facing the crisis of starvation, people cherish every grain of food.
There was a bag of wheat scattered on the ground, and several women knelt in the snow and ice, picking up every grain of wheat with torches.
There was a lot of noise, and the members of Liulin Farm Commune came out of their homes to check the situation. Meng Shuanggou also stood at the door wearing a cotton jacket, watching the grain transport team pass by him.
Meng Shuangou's face looked unhappy.
When Wei Yifu approached him to buy grain at a high price, he had actually been tempted a long time ago, but he deliberately tried to blackmail Wei Yifu.
He originally planned to starve the people in the cadre school for three days, and then negotiate when they were starving and desperate, so that he could make a fortune by offering a higher price.
But now...
The cadre school got a large amount of food from the haunted cave, enough for them to survive until the beginning of spring.
The fat meat that was about to reach his mouth suddenly disappeared, and Meng Shuangou was extremely annoyed.
Zhao Shuping happened to pass by with a bruised face and nose. Meng Shuangou gave her a wink and Zhao Shuping sneaked in.
"What's going on? Where's the food coming from?"
Meng Shuangou asked through gritted teeth.
Zhao Shuping's mouth twitched in pain, but she still said, "Give me a few big white buns, and I'll tell you."
Meng Shuangou was extremely disgusted by this woman's insatiable character. If he didn't rely on her to tip him off, he would have kicked her out long ago.
He took out a few white steamed buns from the kitchen and handed them to Zhao Shuping. Zhao Shuping ate them ravenously and spoke incoherently.
"It's Lin Wanjun. She secretly hid a batch of grain in a haunted abandoned cave. About four to five thousand kilograms of grain, just enough for the cadre school to eat until the beginning of spring."
When he heard the words "haunted abandoned cave", Meng Shuan Gou's face suddenly became nervous.
"What did you say? The food was pulled from the abandoned cave? That's impossible!"
The abandoned cave was haunted and no one dared to approach it, so he secretly hid some of the good things he had looted there, preparing to find an opportunity to take them to the provincial capital to sell them.
He even went to the abandoned cave the night before, and there was no food at all!
What's going on?
Where did the five thousand kilograms of grain come from? Had his treasure been discovered?
Meng Shuangou was extremely anxious and wanted to rush into the cave to take the things back.
But now there are so many people around that he doesn't dare to go at all. What if he exposes himself?
Maybe it's okay.
The place where he hid things was hidden, and Lin Wanjun might not find it...
On this side, Meng Shuangou was comforting himself. On the other side of the cave, Lin Wanjun was squatting in a corner deep in the cave, using branches to push away the grass and soil.
Soon, a box wrapped tightly in oilcloth appeared in Lin Wanjun's sight.
