Meanwhile, Chen Shao went down the mountain to inform the village chief and others.
Hearing that their food supplies had been stored in the bandits' kitchen cellar and could be eaten up at any moment, those who were still hesitant and uneasy were suddenly ignited with righteous indignation.
"To hell with them! These bastards want to eat the food I've worked so hard to save? I'll chop them up!"
"Village chief, let's go up there right now and take our grain back!"
"Yes, take it back!"
Immediately, public sentiment was agitated.
Seeing their reaction, Village Chief Li felt a surge of relief, but he also hurriedly shouted, "All of you, keep your voices down! Are you trying to make sure people don't know we're here?"
The men immediately fell silent, but their passion remained undiminished.
Village Chief Li looked at Chen Shao and asked, "You only found the things that were stolen from our village?"
The bandits of Qinggang Mountain robbed their grain, and none of them wanted to simply take back their own grain and be done with it. They had to get some interest back to quell their anger.
“Yes,” Chen Shao nodded, “but they will probably look elsewhere after I leave.”
After thinking for a moment, Village Chief Li said to Chen Shao, "Then let's stick to the original plan. You lead the way, and the others will form groups of three, ready to fight at any time!"
Before coming, Jiang Qinyu made a suggestion to Village Chief Li.
The villagers were divided into groups of three, with clear roles: one responsible for attacking, one for covering, and one for providing support. The three groups could then form a squad, attacking in a triangle formation, with each group supporting the others.
This is the "three-three system tactic" that originated during the War of Resistance Against Japan, matured during the War of Liberation, and was widely used in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It is also an infantry "squad assault" tactic in the training outline of our army's infantry.
Of course, the villagers of Dingshui Village have not received any training, and they still have a long way to go to achieve the effect that Jiang Qinyu knows. However, for tonight's operation, as long as the villagers remain calm and their formation does not break, they can increase their chances of winning with fewer troops.
Village Chief Li wasn't stupid. After Jiang Qinyu briefly mentioned it, he understood the benefits of doing so, and therefore he was selective in the group assignments.
Those who are strong and quick-witted usually take the attacking positions in the group, while those who are calm and quiet are responsible for covering, and those who are average in skill are responsible for providing support.
With these preparations in mind, Village Chief Li cheered himself up again, led his men to follow Chen Shao, avoided the patrols, and sneaked into Qinggang Village.
Right now, Meng Tianze was extremely anxious in the kitchen. He never expected that Jiang Qinyu, a woman, would not return after going out. She was incredibly bold.
Just then, he heard three crickets chirping, and his eyes lit up. He stood up, carrying a bag of grain in one hand.
"Uncle Meng..." Chen Shao called out softly, but was interrupted by Meng Tianze.
"Quickly get everyone to come and carry the grain; I've got it all ready."
During Jiang Qinyu's absence, he didn't rest. He sorted all the grain in the dark, making each bag weigh about fifty pounds so that everyone could carry it by hand or on their shoulders.
The villagers were all used to farm work, and tonight they had specially assigned the strongest people to carry the grain. When they heard Meng Tianze's words, they were excited, but unusually, no one spoke. They quietly stepped forward, took the bags of grain, and carried them on their shoulders.
The moonlight was bright at that moment. Village Chief Li stood guard at the entrance of the main kitchen, gesturing to the lookout to make sure he wasn't seen.
Chen Shaoze stood guard at the entrance of the village to prevent the patrolmen from suddenly returning.
However, just as the first group of people carrying grain reached the entrance of the village, the two men who had been patrolling earlier returned!
"What's going on?" one of the bandits asked, stunned.
Another person immediately shouted at the top of their lungs, "Help! Someone is stealing our food!"
His shout snapped the other one out of his daze, and he quickly joined in, shouting back at the top of his lungs.
Chen Shao is seventeen years old this year, a time when he is full of vigor and hot-bloodedness. Except for a moment of stunned silence when he first saw the two, he quickly reacted and shouted, "Uncle Hammer, cover me! Everyone else, run!"
After saying that, he rushed towards the two of them!
Meanwhile, the bandits who had been woken up by the two men opened their doors one after another. When they came out and saw the people from Dingshui Village responsible for moving the grain frantically carrying it down the mountain, they immediately exploded in anger.
"What the hell is this bastard? Who dares to steal from us?"
"Brothers, stop them! If they steal our food, we'll starve!"
"Charge, you bastards!"
In an instant, the entire Qinggang Village seemed to come alive, becoming brightly lit, and the people of Dingshui Village suddenly had nowhere to hide.
At the same time, taking advantage of the commotion she had made, Jiang Qinyu suddenly grabbed the unusual vine.
As a rumbling sound rang out, the mountain wall in front of her swayed and cracked open to both sides, revealing a narrow path that could only be passed by one person at a time.
The sound wasn't quiet, but it was masked by the sounds in front of it, so it didn't seem out of place.
Jiang Qinyu knew that now was the best time, so she rushed into the cave without hesitation.
After running about a hundred meters, a wide, open hole appeared ahead.
Jiang Qinyu looked up and saw that this was a naturally formed stalactite cave, the entire cave being about the size of a basketball court.
Looking down at the ground, good heavens, it was piled up densely, all of them were bags of grain!
Jiang Qinyu estimated that there must be at least tens of thousands of catties of grain here.
Besides, there are many metal boxes here, and we don't know what's inside.
Jiang Qinyu didn't check any further. She quickly ran forward and touched each bag and box. Everything she touched disappeared into her supermarket system space.
Strangely enough, this system comes with its own space, and the size of that space is probably the same as the size of her supermarket.
The checkout counter at Jiang Qinyu's supermarket flagship store was meticulously designed, covering an area of over 100 square meters, more than enough to hold all the food for this cave.
Moreover, the system is very user-friendly. All the grain is neatly piled up on the open ground after it is harvested, and it is piled up to the roof.
Tens of thousands of kilograms of grain were collected into the system by Jiang Qinyu in no time.
At this moment, the system notification sounded in Jiang Qinyu's mind again: [Ding! Detection indicates that the host has obtained the required number of task items. Would you like to submit?]
Jiang Qinyu clicked "No" directly. She still needed to exploit the bug and stockpile more food before submitting the task!
After harvesting the grain, Jiang Qinyu ran out without looking back.
However, just as she reached the cave entrance, she heard an exasperated voice in the distance, "Hurry up and check the cave! They absolutely cannot find the grain there!"
