It can not only ensure that the villagers will not go hungry in the next period of time, but also avoid causing unnecessary trouble due to excessive numbers.
Moreover, she had already made a plan in her mind. When the food was eaten up, if she still couldn't find a place to buy food, she could quietly take out some more from the supermarket space to continue to ensure the villagers' food needs.
Yao Qingshuang stood in the cellar, her eyes slowly sweeping over the piles of various grains.
They were neatly arranged in an orderly manner, filling half of the cellar. Under the light of the flashlight, they exuded a soothing atmosphere.
Looking at the full bag of food in front of him, Yao Qingshuang suddenly felt a strong sense of accomplishment in his heart.
She clapped her hands lightly, then slowly backed out of the cellar.
After completely exiting the cellar, she carefully hid the cellar entrance again.
After doing all this, Yao Qingshuang was still not at ease. She stopped what she was doing, stood up straight, and looked around vigilantly.
It was quiet all around, and no one noticed what was happening here.
After making sure that no one noticed her actions, she breathed a sigh of relief and left with peace of mind.
She didn't want others to take the credit for the good things she did for no reason.
Yao Qingshuang was filled with joy and ran towards the houses where the villagers lived with great speed.
Soon, she ran to the house where the village chief was.
At a glance, I saw the village chief sitting in a corner beside the house, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was carefully thinking about many things about the long journey ahead.
The village chief had been worried a lot along the way. He had to worry about the safety of the villagers and calculate how long the food could last. All kinds of problems weighed on his shoulders, making his face look even older and more tired.
Yao Qingshuang didn't even have time to catch her breath before she shouted towards the village chief, "Village chief, come quickly! I found something great!"
The village chief was originally immersed in his own thoughts and was startled by the sudden shout.
He stood up hastily, his eyes revealing a hint of panic and worry. He looked nervously in Yao Qingshuang's direction and asked anxiously, "Mother Wencheng, what's wrong? Are the pursuers here?"
At this moment, the village chief had already made the worst plan in his mind, fearing that those ferocious pursuers would suddenly appear and bring a devastating disaster to the village.
"What, the pursuers are coming?" When the village chief's wife heard this, her eyes widened and her face instantly lost all color. Her face, which already looked a little haggard due to the hard work along the way, was now filled with fear.
When the surrounding villagers heard the village chief's wife shouting, they immediately stopped everything they were doing, raised their heads, and looked in the direction of the village chief and Yao Qingshuang.
When the villagers heard the words "the pursuers are coming", their faces turned pale.
Fear spread quickly among the crowd like a tide.
Everyone started shouting, their voices filled with panic and helplessness.
"What? The pursuers are coming? What should we do? We have escaped all the way here and haven't even had a chance to catch our breath!" An old lady with gray hair clutched the corner of her clothes tightly with trembling hands and shouted in a crying voice, her turbid eyes already blurred by tears.
"What should we do now? We can't let them catch us like this, otherwise we will be finished!" A young and strong man, with veins bulging on his forehead, clenched his fists and shouted anxiously.
"Yes, yes, let's run quickly! It will be too late if we delay any longer!" Several women also echoed, they hugged their children tightly, their eyes were full of panic, and their feet were unconsciously retreating, as if the pursuers were already right in front of them.
The entire village was instantly filled with an atmosphere of panic and fear. Everyone felt insecure and only wanted to escape from this potentially dangerous place as quickly as possible.
Seeing everyone in panic and chaos, Yao Qingshuang felt very anxious. She quickly waved her hands vigorously, trying to calm everyone down.
She took a deep breath, then mustered up all her strength and yelled at everyone, "There are no pursuers. Stop talking nonsense! Everyone, be quiet and listen to me!"
Her voice was particularly loud in the chaotic atmosphere, and finally made everyone's shouting gradually quiet down.
Everyone looked at her with doubt and a hint of expectation.
Seeing this, Yao Qingshuang cleared her throat and continued loudly, "I just found a cellar in the innermost row of houses in the manor! I didn't pay much attention to that cellar at first, but when I went down to take a look, it was incredible!"
At this, her eyes lit up, her face filled with excitement, and she continued, "There's still food in the cellar. It's piled high, almost filling up half the cellar! Now we don't have to worry about having nothing to eat. Everyone, stop worrying here and come with me to bring the food back!"
As she spoke, she gestured eagerly with her hands, her eyes full of anxiety, hoping that everyone would act quickly and get the food back as soon as possible.
Hearing Yao Qingshuang's loud and urgent voice shouting "There are no pursuers", everyone felt as if a taut string suddenly relaxed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. The terrified expressions on their faces gradually faded away, and gradually regained some color.
"Oh, it was a false alarm. I was really scared just now. My heart is still pounding!" A villager said while patting his chest with lingering fear.
"Yes, village chief, everyone is almost scared to death by you!" Several villagers nearby couldn't help but echo. Although there was a hint of complaint in their words, they were more grateful for having survived the disaster.
After hearing this, the village chief blushed and felt a little embarrassed.
He said apologetically, "This...I heard Wencheng's mother yelling so anxiously, and my mind was confused, so I subconsciously thought that the pursuers were coming. Who knew it would cause such a big mistake? I'm really sorry for making everyone so worried."
The village chief subconsciously raised his hand and gently touched his sparse beard, trying hard to appear calmer.
But the false alarm he just experienced still made his hands tremble slightly, but he still tried his best to steady his body and pretend to be calm.
Just when he was feeling very nervous, he suddenly remembered the second half of the sentence that Wen Cheng's mother had just shouted at the top of her lungs - food has been found.
At this moment, his mind, which had been a little confused by the fright, suddenly became clear. His eyes suddenly widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.
Before everyone could react, the village chief seemed to be injected with a powerful force and jumped up suddenly. His movements were so swift that it seemed as if he had suddenly become dozens of years younger.
