Chapter 265: A clever plan to deliver food

When Xiaoyao and the others arrived at the village that Dayao brother mentioned, it was almost dawn. In order to save time, Li Yaoguang suggested that everyone split up and search on their own, thinking about returning quickly. Xiaoyao agreed readily.

Li Yaoguang led Huang CengCeng to grope around in the unfamiliar village. He did not go to the conspicuous houses, fearing that these places had been searched countless times. He went straight to those remote courtyards and searched around. In the end, it was Huang CengCeng who helped. The man and the cat did not find the cellar, but they successfully found a dry well in a remote location at the end of the village.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Li Yaoguang started working in the dark.

In order to gain people's trust, Li Yaoguang imitated the mentality of the grain collector. He first simply cleaned the dry well, put a layer of oil paper underneath, and then put the grain in the space out.

The dry well is about ten meters deep and the mouth is not big, so the storage capacity is limited. One third of the storage space is full, and the rest can only be found next time.

Finally, he spread oil paper on the dry well, and then covered the opening with a layer of dry soil to seal it tightly. With the help of the power of space, Li Yaoguang moved a huge rock to block the well mouth tightly, and then led Chuang Chuang to the deserted village to look for people.

When they found the little brother, he was carrying a large dusty wooden barrel in one hand and a broken yellow pottery basin in the other. He was just congratulating himself on his good luck when Li Yaoguang's anxious voice was heard outside.

Xiaoyao was startled, thinking that something big had happened. He hurriedly responded, "Here, here, little sir, I'm here!" But he didn't care about what he was holding and put it down and ran out, asking, "Little sir, little sir, what do you want to see me for?"

Li Yaoguang followed the sound and saw someone running out of the old house. He grabbed the man's arm and pulled him towards the end of the village. "Let's go. I have a big discovery. Come with me, little brother."

Xiaoyao was also surprised when he heard this, "What discovery?"

Having said that, the people cooperated and followed Li Yaoguang all the way. When they reached the end of the village and saw the dry well buried under a huge rock, Xiaoyao was stunned.

"What is this, young sir?"

Li Yaoguang stepped forward and patted his masterpiece, the boulder, like Sherlock Holmes.

"I don't know what it is specifically, but think about it, little brother. It's hidden so well here, there must be a secret. Think about it, ordinary people usually have the habit of hoarding things, and now it's such a chaotic world, people are fleeing in a hurry to avoid being plundered by the Hu soldiers. Do you think there is something good hidden here?"

Hearing this, Xiaoyao instantly became excited.

"Young sir, please move aside. I'll take a look at what secrets are hidden inside."

Xiao Yao excitedly spat into his hands twice, rubbed his hands and was about to lift the boulder.

It's a pity that someone just chose a very big and heavy one in order to make it realistic, so Xiaoyao couldn't do anything about it even if he had strong force.

She watched helplessly as Xiaoyao tried several times and failed every time. Just when Li Yaoguang was regretting his lack of consideration and causing the stone to get bigger, Xiaoyao's eyes became brighter and brighter after failing again.

"Hey, if it can be pressed down by such a big stone, there must be something good inside!"

After saying that, the excited Xiao Yao took a deep breath and jumped onto the boulder, with his index finger bent to his lips. Then a loud whistle sounded, and in the morning light, more than a dozen figures flashed out from all directions of the village, identified their positions by the sounds, and rushed towards them quickly, one by one, with their hands and bodies full of water containers they had just found, looking very embarrassed.

When they arrived at the place, they saw Xiaoyao on the boulder, and then looked at Li Yaoguang standing next to it, and everyone was puzzled.

"Little one, little sir, what are you doing here?"

"Yes, Xiaoyao, why did you call us here for an emergency meeting?"

Without Li Yaoguang's explanation, Xiao Yao simply stomped his feet and tapped the huge rock under his feet.

"Hey, brothers, look what this is?" Everyone looked over. "What?"

When Xiao Yao told everyone about Li Yaoguang's suspicion, everyone's eyes lit up and they nodded in agreement.

"Xiaoyao, you are really good. You have made great progress in your training recently. How did you find this thing?"

Xiaoyao was not willing to take credit for himself and pointed at Li Yaoguang. Li Yaoguang laughed at being watched by everyone and decisively pushed the blame onto the cat in his arms.

A burly black man in the crowd, as tall as an iron tower, put down the large water jar in his arms, walked around the boulder several times, and exclaimed in amazement.

"My goodness, when we stopped by this village to rest earlier, how come we didn't find this abnormality when we searched the village? Tsk tsk, I'll have to teach Ma Wu and his gang a lesson later. They are experienced scouts, but how could they make such a low-level mistake? They are worse than a kitten. This won't do."

Uh... Having said that, Li Yaoguang felt secretly sorry and shed tears of sympathy for Ma Wu and his brothers.

Everyone started talking at once, "Big Black, stop talking. Ma Wu and the others will go back and clean up. There's something unusual here. Let's first think of a way to pry the stone open and see what's hidden inside."

"Well, that's true."

The black-towered man called Dahei nodded repeatedly, motioning Xiaoyao to come down. He then went up to try it himself, and the big rock shook a few times but was still firm.

Just like that, who would still suspect that it was Li Yaoguang's little trick? No one can remember it.

In the end, it took more than a dozen people working together. Xiaoyao also followed Li Yaoguang's instructions and found a log as thick as a leg. They finally pried the boulder open by relying on the lever principle.

With a loud bang, huge rocks rolled down, revealing the edge of the well. Everyone was stunned when they saw the earth buried inside. It was Xiaoyao who was cautious. He pointed at the soil layer and said that there must be something underneath. Then everyone started digging together.

When the soil was gone and the oil paper was torn apart, revealing stacked sacks, Dahei took out one and opened it, and found that there was golden wheat inside. Everyone was stunned and overjoyed.

"My ancestors, it's actually food. Could all of this be food?"

"What are you talking about? Just take them all out and have a look."

"Yes, yes, hurry up!"

A dozen men were like chicken blood, running all night without feeling tired, and the food that the clan leader had hosted was already empty, but they were not hungry. They took out all the sacks stacked in the dry well and found that they were all top-quality wheat. Everyone, everyone! Looking at the "mountain of food" in front of them, they all smiled foolishly, showing their big white teeth.

Some of them couldn't help but sigh, "Damn, no wonder everyone in Hejia Village said that the young master was a lucky star. What we saw today was indeed true. A lucky star is a lucky star. It is obviously a deserted village. I don't know how many groups of people have passed by before. We have explored it before, but no one has gained anything. But when the young master came, he was able to find so much food. I'm afraid it must be two thousand kilograms?"

"Yeah, there must be more than that. Brothers, take these back and they will last you a while in the mountains. We're going to make a fortune today!"

"Hahaha, what are you waiting for? Brothers, food is important. We have to leave most of the people here to guard just in case. The remaining two can go back with the utensils to inform the youngest brother of the news. Also, fill some water so that everyone can gather here as soon as possible. Then we can transport the food back together. What do you think?"

"What are you looking at? It's settled. Dahei, you're fast. You and Liangzi take the stuff back. We'll stay here. Go quickly and come back soon."

"it is good."

After everything was discussed, everyone took quick action, one side reporting the news while the other side guarding the grain. Taking advantage of this time, those guarding the grain were busy cutting down trees behind the village to make hooks for shoulder poles in order to transport the grain later. Although they were busy and tired, they all looked happy and full of energy.
