Chapter 252: Delivering Food Secretly Through a Rat Hole
Li Yaoguang was totally unaware of all this. He continued to move forward with Cuncun in tow, walking and searching. When the sun was at its highest point in the sky, the team could no longer move forward, and the clan leader struck the gong in his hand for them to stop and take a break.

Uncle Yin pushed the tattered chicken bus under a tree, lifted his shirt and wiped the sweat off his face, then sat down in a shady place. Cai Huahua and her brother, who had been looking for food along the way, were also exhausted. They took off the backpacks that were only filled with a thin layer of wild vegetables and placed them on the chicken bus, then sat down next to Uncle Yin.

Only Li Yaoguang was exhausted after carrying the cat all the way. At this moment, the cat was rubbing against his feet, his eyes fixed on the surrounding scenery.

This place is a semi-arc sloping open space, with an official road in the middle dividing it into two parts. The high side is covered with mountains and forests, and the ground is an open gentle slope.

Everyone was resting under the shade of trees by the roadside, and the open gentle slope ahead turned out to be a barren field. This made Li Yaoguang's eyes light up, and he thought that where there is land, there should be people, and where there are people, there should be houses. If he could find a house, could he do something?
Under the shade of the tree behind them, Uncle Yin was fanning himself with his clothes, while Aunt Yin took two gourds from the chicken bus. She gave one to her daughter so that she and her brothers could have a sip to relieve their fatigue, and she gave the other to her husband.

Uncle Yin took it with a laugh, remembering the clan leader's instructions, and drank two sips frugally, really just two sips, not daring to drink more. After drinking, he quickly pushed it to his wife: "Mother, it's so hot, you should drink a few sips too."

Aunt Yin was very touched by her husband's thoughtfulness, but she was reluctant to drink it out. Only when her husband stared at her did she put her mouth close to the gourd and pretended to take a sip. Uncle Yin was relieved to see that his wife had drunk it. He looked up at the sky and then looked around.

It was the hottest time of the day, the sun was scorching even hotter than the autumn heat. Everyone was resting under the shade of the trees, but his friend was still standing in the sun, staring at the roadside in a daze. Uncle Yin was worried and shouted hurriedly.

"Brother Guang, why are you standing on the road like an idiot? The sun is very hot, come over here and take a rest, there is still a lot of walking to do in the afternoon!"

Li Yaoguang hurriedly came back to his senses, responded crisply, and was about to go back when suddenly, Huang Cengceng in his arms saw something and jumped out of Li Yaoguang's arms. Li Yaoguang shouted in shock, "Cengceng, where are you going?", but he followed closely after he finished speaking.

Cai Huahua, who was humbly letting her younger brothers drink water, heard the noise and turned around to see Li Yaoguang chasing the cat away. Worry flashed in the little girl's eyes. She wanted to follow and take a look but she didn't dare to tell her parents.

While hesitating, the figure in front suddenly fell down, followed by a shout, "Huahua, come here!" Adults are not easy to deceive, and little girls are the most soft-hearted.

Cai Huahua was stunned at first, then realized that her brother Xiaoguang was calling her, and the little girl rushed out subconsciously.

When Erhu the big bear saw his sister running away, he could no longer sit still. He quickly said, "Dad, Mom, let's go and take a look too." and ran away following his sister.

When the three siblings arrived one after another, Li Yaoguang had already made some small moves. Seeing them coming, Li Yaoguang pretended to be cautious and pointed at the hole under his feet and said in a low voice: "Huahua, I just ran here chasing something, and then I found this."

The three siblings, who had been to the mountains and rivers many times in the past, naturally knew what it was. Big Bear excitedly shouted out first, "Field..."

"Shh, big brother, shout softly!" As soon as the voice started, it was covered by Cai Huahua.

Big Bear realized something and nodded and kept quiet. After his sister let go, he hurriedly pulled his silly brother, turned his back to the road, and looked at his brother and sister in front of him with bright eyes.

"Sister, Brother Xiaoguang, were you chasing a field mouse just now?"

She didn't know whether there were any voles or not, because Cuncun ran too fast and she didn't see clearly what the little guy was chasing. She just stepped on the half of the hole when she was running after it and almost fell. Cuncun was not here at the time, and the land here was barren, so it was probably not a vole that he was chasing.

Of course she wouldn't say that. There were no voles in the hole, and nothing else...

In the position where she fell just now, she took the opportunity to stuff a lot of things into the hole, such as soybeans, mung beans, black beans, wheat, corn, etc. In short, as long as it was possible to be produced in the north, she grabbed a lot of each in the space and mixed them together, and transferred them all in. Now that Daxiong said this, Li Yaoguang secretly thought that the little guy really understood.

Cai Huahua was anxious to go back and get her small wooden shovel, but Li Yaoguang held her back, "Don't, there are too many people over there, if you let it slip, they will all come to dig, how are we going to divide the field mice when we catch them?"

Yell! The three siblings were anxious, "What should we do?"

Li Yaoguang decisively pulled out the hatchet from his waist and said, "Use this."

Then the four of them worked together. Li Yaoguang and Cai Huahua were responsible for digging the hole, and the two younger ones were responsible for digging the soil. Perhaps because the food that was stuffed in the hole floated on the surface of the hole, it didn't take long for the hole to be dug open before the food suddenly appeared before their eyes.

Big Bear and Two Tigers almost couldn't help but cheer loudly again, but Li Yaoguang and Cai Huahua were quick-witted and each held them down, thus preventing the two little ones from shouting out.

The four of them looked at each other in understanding, and Cai Huahua instructed the eldest brother to take off his clothes and hurriedly shovel the food out of the hole. The more they shoveled, the more delighted they were. They didn't realize at all that there was so much food in the abandoned little mouse hole, and it was so fresh.

After emptying one bag of clothes, Cai Huahua hurriedly asked the younger brother to take off his clothes again and filled the bag with his clothes. There was still more in the hole!
As a last resort, Huahua didn't care about being shy. She immediately lifted up her patched skirt, picked up the last two handfuls of mud, and she and Li Yaoguang each carried a bag. Then they led their brothers back in a hurry, no longer caring about whether they were voles or not.

Such a loud noise could not be hidden from anyone, and they were surrounded as soon as they came back. In fact, everyone was curious about what they had done in the front, but they were too tired and the surroundings were deserted, so they thought it was just a few kids shouting and yelling and were too lazy to go and see.

Now that we see the two older ones coming back with such heavy bags, how can anyone bear it?

Everyone stretched their necks to look at the bags, and heard Li Yaoguang say that they had dug up a vole hole and got some food. Well, if they couldn't just snatch the food that the children had brought back, couldn't they look for something else?

For a moment, regardless of gender, age or status, everyone ran towards the place in front that Li Yaoguang and the other four had visited. They wanted to dig three feet into the ground and plow the surrounding land just to find the next rat hole full of food.

This made the Yin family feel at ease. The couple weighed the food that the children brought back and estimated that there were about 20 kilograms. Such a huge harvest made Aunt Yin smile so happily that her teeth were showing. It also stimulated the members of the Hejia Village to try their best. Finally, after seeing the specific harvest of the Yin family, even the clan leader who could still hold on personally came out to fight.

That afternoon, the whole village gave up their journey and unanimously decided to spend the night there. Everyone went to the barren fields to grope inch by inch. They would not give up until they could find the place. They were not afraid of the dark either, they simply lit torches and worked all night. They were really tired, so the young and old in the family divided the work and took turns to rest and work.

In this situation, how could Li Yaoguang, who had only wanted to help the Yin family cheat, bear it? She simply joined in, taking advantage of the cover of night and helping by rubbing against the ground. She found a lot of holes in the corners of the ridges that no one had found yet. She didn't care whether they were made by field mice or not. She stuffed food into the holes and pretended to find them to attract people to dig.

With this operation, the people in Hejia Village discovered that this boy Guang who suddenly joined was very lucky! He was really blessed! Because good fortune never goes away, people from top to bottom in Hejia Village liked to ask her to help them find things, which greatly facilitated her cheating.

They found more than a dozen holes one after another and took out more than a hundred kilograms of grains, beans and wheat, which enabled the whole Hejia Village to celebrate the New Year.

Many people were happy and puzzled as to why there were so many rat holes in the wasteland with some old grain inside. The grain looked brand new and better than the grain they harvested in the autumn. However, the reality was before them and in the famine, no one investigated further and subconsciously all thought it was a gift from God.

Only when it came to Li Yaoguang, the attitude of the whole village changed quietly. The old ladies, young wives, and little kids were all happy to see her. They all liked to come up and touch her, saying that it was for good fortune. As they touched her a lot, Li Yao was convinced.
