Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine
Chapter 28 A Huge Pit Full of Resources
Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue helped each other walk forward. Only then did Lian Rongrong regret not bringing a flashlight with her.
Not just flashlights, but it would be best to get a telescope too. Lian Rongrong secretly resolved as she walked that she would definitely replenish some supplies later.
The two women, aunt and sister-in-law, trudged on with difficulty and finally reached the edge of the snowfield. They cautiously peered down.
"It's not a cliff, it's actually a huge pit?" Lian Rongrong shook Lin Chuyue's arm excitedly.
"Sister-in-law, we can now openly take out our things."
Lian Rongrong smiled slyly, and Lin Chuyue suddenly realized what was going on.
"You mean, we should just say the item was found in the pit?"
Lian Rongrong nodded, "You understand me best, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, go back and call for help. Tell them we've found grain."
Oh, and let my older brothers know beforehand, so they can cover for us.
"And what about you?" Lin Chuyue asked, still somewhat worried.
"I'll get the stuff out and throw it into the pit. It might take some effort, but it's better than arousing suspicion."
"But can you manage alone?" Although Lin Chuyue agreed with Lian Rongrong's idea, she was still worried about leaving her alone.
"It's alright, sister-in-law, you forgot? I also have martial arts skills. Besides, I still have this ring."
We've been out for quite a while now; if someone comes looking for us before then, we won't have a chance."
"Okay, I'll go back and get some people. How much time do you need? Do you want me to hold them off for a bit?"
Lian Rongrong pondered for a moment, then said, "A quarter of an hour is enough; there's no need to deliberately delay."
As a female general, Lin Chuyue was not one to fuss over trivial matters. She only told Lian Rongrong to be careful before turning and heading towards the dilapidated temple to the south.
Lian Rongrong didn't dare to waste any time. As soon as Lin Chuyue left, Lian Rongrong immediately entered the amber ring.
Taking the item out of the ring wasn't difficult; Lian Rongrong only needed to hold her breath, concentrate, and focus her mind.
Lian Rongrong needed a quarter of an hour so that she could push all these things into the deep pit.
In the amber ring, no matter how heavy the item was, it was very light to Lian Rongrong. However, when they were moved to the snow, each item became incredibly heavy.
Fortunately, all Lian Rongrong had to do was push these things into the deep pit.
Even more fortunately, Lian Rong from this dynasty was clearly much better physically than Lian Rongrong in modern times.
After all, she had practiced martial arts since childhood, and with her frequent visits to the ring space recently, Lian Rongrong did feel that she had inexhaustible strength.
Just as Lin Chuyue led everyone to the edge of the pit, Lian Rongrong had just rolled all the supplies into the pit.
"Young lady, where is the grain you mentioned?" The village head was old and clearly exhausted from walking through the snow from the south to the north of the village.
Even so, the old man was still more concerned about the food that Lin Chuyue mentioned.
Apart from the elderly, women, and children, all the villagers and even Lin Chuyue's family members accompanied her to the north side of the village.
When everyone saw Lian Rongrong standing at the edge of the deep pit, they all quickened their pace involuntarily.
"Everyone be careful, the thing is just ahead, but the pit is very deep and the road is slippery in the snow, so be careful."
Lin Chuyue gave Lian Yijun a wink, and the couple quickened their pace without saying a word.
Meanwhile, Lian Yicheng, who had also been told the truth by Lin Chuyue, subtly walked to the front of the group.
Lin Chuyue and the two Lian brothers walked to the edge of the deep pit and saw that there was nothing around Lian Rongrong, so they finally felt relieved.
"You're quick on your feet, aren't you?" Lian Yicheng teased Lian Rongrong in a low voice.
"Second brother, can't you be more careful?" Lian Rongrong rolled her eyes at Lian Yicheng, then walked in front of everyone and said in a serious tone:
"Ladies and gentlemen, as you have probably already heard from my sister-in-law, we unexpectedly discovered something here."
With this snowstorm going on for who knows when, perhaps these things could save our lives.
Lian Yicheng peered intently into the pit, then feigned surprise and said:
"Wow, so many good things. It looks like a caravan must have encountered a snowstorm and unfortunately dropped their goods into the pit."
“Caravans?” Muramasa frowned slightly. “Our area is remote, and caravans rarely pass through.”
“What’s so strange about that?” Lian Yijun replied. “They must have come here unintentionally, just like us, to avoid the wind and snow.”
Muramasa nodded, seemingly finding Lian Yijun's words quite reasonable. After all, even an old man like Muramasa had never seen such a severe snow disaster before.
"Muramasa, what is this place down there? Is it safe?" Lian Yicheng was eager to try, wishing he could go down immediately and bring all the supplies up.
Muramasa sighed, and then replied with some regret, "This used to be the best farmland in our village."
A few years ago, an earthquake occurred. Although no one in the village was injured or killed, the land sank.
There wasn't anything else down there, but the pit was extremely deep, so we had to be very careful.
It's clear that Muramasa still feels very sorry about the destruction of this good crop.
Looking at the deep wrinkles on Muramasa's face, Lian Rongrong kindly comforted him:
"Don't be sad. It's a blessing in disguise. If it weren't for the earthquake back then, we probably wouldn't have these things to help us right now."
As soon as Lian Rongrong finished speaking, she felt as if a gaze was directed at her from behind. When she turned around, she was met with Qi Yuan's face, whose expression was unclear.
"Let's not waste any more time. The snow is getting heavier and heavier. Let's hurry up and figure out a way to get the stuff up here."
Lian Yijun was, after all, a general with the power of killing and seizing, and his words inevitably carried an air of authority.
Not only the Lian family guards, but even the villagers couldn't help but want to obey Lian Yijun's orders.
Lian Yijun divided all the men into two groups. He led one group to the bottom of the pit to carry the loads, while Lian Yicheng led the other group to the top to provide support.
When everyone arrived, Lin Chuyue instructed the village head to bring plenty of ropes, and now these ropes truly came in handy.
The pit in front of us was extremely deep. Although there was a thick layer of snow, jumping down into it in the dark would inevitably cause injury.
With the rope, Lian Yijun and the others could hold onto it and slowly slide down, which also saved them a lot of effort when carrying supplies.
However, there's no need to worry about fatigue. Although there are many things in the pit, many of them are things that no one has ever heard of or seen before.
Everyone was so caught up in the novelty and excitement that they didn't feel tired at all.
"How much stuff is left?" Lian Yicheng looked at the mountain of supplies piled up around him and couldn't help but think to himself: What's wrong with this little miss? Does she not want to live in her own home anymore?
Lian Yijun looked around to make sure nothing else was falling, then tugged on the rope and shouted upwards:
"That's about enough, pull us up."
"Alright, everyone down here, hold on tight to the rope." Lian Yicheng waved his hand, signaling the people above to pull the rope.
But just then, a man's voice came from the bottom of the pit.
"Wait a moment!"
