Chapter 1809
A Different Era
The two men were around forty or fifty years old; one was dashing and the other was refined and cultured.
Liu Dong recognized the two of them.
Their names are Cheng Yuan and Shan Wencheng.
These two men live in a cowshed and are actually over sixty years old, but they look young.
It is said that both of them went to war when they were young.
Cheng Yuan is skilled. Although he is older now and his hands and feet are not as nimble as when he was young, he is still better than the young people in the village.
He often went into the mountains to hunt animals to improve the lives of the people in the cowshed.
The villagers are very simple and honest, and they all sympathize with the people in the cowshed. They turn a blind eye to his hunting in the mountains.
Cheng Yuan and Shan Wencheng were good at dealing with people. When they caught a large game, they kept only a small portion and gave most of it to the villagers.
Because of the game they occasionally brought, the villagers were able to drink meat soup and no one starved to death—except for the original owner of this body, who was destined to travel to other worlds to enjoy a life of luxury.
The villagers were grateful to them and didn't interfere with their hunting trips into the mountains.
Liu Dong's gaze swept over the wild boar, knowing that there would be meat soup to drink today.
He nodded amicably to the two of them.
Shan Wencheng smiled and nodded in response. Neither of them spoke, and they passed each other.
The further Liu went in, the faster she moved.
The villagers didn't have Cheng Yuan's skills, so they didn't dare to go too deep.
With no one else around, Liu Dong could act freely.
He saw the traces left by Cheng Yuan and Shan Wencheng, then turned and headed in another direction.
Those two people had never been there.
Liu Dong released his divine sense and found a cave that perfectly met his requirements.
The cave didn't look big, but it was actually quite large inside. There were mechanisms in the cave walls that opened to create a passage, leading to a very large cave filled with countless boxes.
Liu Tong opened the box and found it contained a lot of gold and silver ingots, as well as many antique paintings and calligraphy.
The gold and silver ingots are rusted, the calligraphy and paintings are all eaten by insects, and many antiques have also been corroded and damaged.
Liu Dong put all these things into her own space.
If there's time, these things can be repaired.
Liu Dong then took out the grain from her spatial storage and put it into a box.
He complained that there weren't enough boxes, so he added quite a few more himself.
After all this happened last night, Liu Dong went down the mountain.
Sure enough, the aroma of meat wafted from every house down the mountain.
Liu Tong went to her uncle's house first.
His family lived close to his uncle's family; they were neighbors.
My uncle's family had already eaten, and my aunt left Liu a bowl of meat soup with some wild vegetables in it.
Liu Tong: "..."
Although it's a meat broth, the taste...
Liu Tong drank a little more than half of it, and gave the rest to his nephew and niece who were drooling over his bowl.
Liu Tong's father was more than ten years younger than his uncle.
His father married relatively late, so he was only three or four years older than his nephews and nieces.
Liu Dong is now eleven years old, and her nephews and nieces are seven or eight years old. However, because they don't have enough to eat, the three children are thin and small, looking like they are five or six years old.
Now they are so hungry that their heads are big and their bodies are small; they are extremely pitiful.
"You silly child, why are you sharing the soup with them? You should eat it quickly, or you'll faint from hunger again."
Although her aunt felt sorry for her grandchildren, she also felt sorry for her nephew, Liu Dong.
After the original owner's biological mother passed away, she was almost entirely raised by her aunt.
The aunt actually raised the original owner as her own grandson.
Liu Qiu shook her head: "Auntie, I'm not hungry. I ate in the mountains." Auntie: "What good food is there in the mountains?"
Unlike Cheng Yuan, Liu Dong doesn't know how to hunt. He has no meat to eat and can only gnaw on grass.
Liu Tong took a bag of old rice out of the basket on her back and handed it to her aunt.
When her aunt opened it, she was shocked: "Where did this come from?"
Liu Dong: "I found it in a cave."
Uncle Liu, the village's Party Secretary, couldn't sit still after hearing Liu Dong's story. He immediately picked up a gong, went outside, and rang it.
The villagers had just drunk the meat soup, and their stomachs were full of oil, so they didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
They were all lying on their own beds, savoring the delicious meat, looking quite content, when they were startled by the unpleasant sound of the gong and ran out of their homes.
"Brother Liu, what are you doing? You're not going to cause trouble now that you've finally had a good meal, are you?" an old woman of the same generation as Uncle Liu shouted.
The aunt glared at the old woman and said, "Li Chunhua, shut up. My husband called you here because he has something important to announce."
"What's the important matter?" the villagers asked one after another.
Uncle Liu: "Grain!"
Upon hearing these two words, the villagers stopped making noise, their expressions became serious, and they all looked expectantly at Uncle Liu.
Uncle Liu: "Er Gouzi, you tell us."
Liu Dong: -_-||. This name is really awful!
Liu Dong stepped forward and recounted his experience of "discovering the cave and the grain inside".
The villagers couldn't sit still any longer, so they all went home to get sacks, blankets, and baskets, asking Liu to lead the way for them.
People no longer cared about the dangers in the mountains at night; now, food was the most important thing.
Uncle Liu: "Go and inform the cowshed."
Some objected: "Let's not! They're bad elements..."
Uncle Liu: "Don't forget the meat soup you just drank. Also, there are wild animals in the mountains. Do you have Cheng Yuan's skills and can kill wild animals?"
Those who voiced their opposition withered.
Uncle Liu then asked Liu Tong to inform the people at the cowshed.
The original owner knew everyone in the cowshed, because one of the people in the cowshed was the original owner's father's former superior.
Uncle Liu also knew that person, so he secretly took care of him.
He couldn't do it himself; he had the original owner do it all.
The people in the cowshed were very surprised to hear that there was grain in the mountains, but they also carried baskets on their backs and followed Liu Tong out.
Cheng Yuan brought his homemade weapon, a simple bow and arrow.
The group entered the mountain in a grand procession, each carrying a torch, one after another, like a fiery dragon.
Its imposing presence frightened all the animals in the mountains.
Even large wild animals like wild boars and wolves dared not approach and all ran far away.
The group arrived safely at the cave.
Seeing Liu Dong open the mechanism, revealing a passage.
Everyone was excited.
Only in this way could these grains be preserved for so long without being discovered!
The group rushed excitedly into the large cave and almost burst into tears when they saw the bags of grain.
This much grain is enough to feed them for a long time!
No one will have to go hungry anymore!
The villagers seemed to be full of energy, and they immediately started moving the grain.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that everyone returned to the village.
They only carried a small portion of the grain, but it was enough for them to eat until tomorrow.
Despite not sleeping all night, Uncle Liu was still in good spirits. After drinking a bowl of meat soup, he led the brigade leader to the commune.
There was still so much grain left in the cave; naturally, it had to be handed over to the commune as relief grain to be distributed to others! (End of Chapter)
