Chapter 315 Congratulations to the village chief, you have returned with a great harvest
After all their calculations, they could only move away 50,000 kilograms of grain, and Shen Ruolan still had more than 200,000 kilograms left. He admitted that he was really jealous.
Shen Ruolan shook her head at Deputy General Xu and refused, "At most, I'll let each of you carry one bag."
If it weren't for the sake of the many soldiers, she would not want to contribute even a grain of food to the Beiming court. Giving 50,000 kilograms was already her maximum limit.
After all, if she was in trouble, the Beiming court would not care about her.
Seeing that Shen Ruolan was unwilling to give any more, Lieutenant General Xu had no choice but to call on the injured personnel, each of whom carried a bag, and then he said goodbye to Shen Ruolan and left.
After Lieutenant General Xu left, Shen Ruolan also took everyone away. She had been separated from her children for more than ten days and she missed them so much that she felt anxious.
So, even though it was getting dark, she didn't want to stay for a moment and just wanted to get back to her children as soon as possible.
But she didn't walk far before she saw Village Chief Wu and his grandson Da Hu chasing her and shouting to her, "Madam Shen, wait a minute."
"Mrs. Shen..." Village Chief Wu called out again and again.
When Shen Ruolan heard the voice of Village Chief Wu, she stopped where she was, waited for him to come over, and asked, "Uncle Wu, do you have anything else to say?"
Village Chief Wu caught up with Shen Ruolan. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said to her, "Madam Shen, you not only helped us save our families, but also helped us find life-saving food. We are all very grateful to you."
After saying this, he took the bundle from his grandson, handed it to Shen Ruolan and said, "Madam Shen, the villagers don't have anything good to repay you. These are the eggs that everyone cooked for you so that you can eat them when you are hungry on the road."
After Village Chief Wu finished speaking, he was worried that Shen Ruolan would not accept it, so he continued, "Madam Shen, we know you don't need these things, but this is a gift from everyone to you, Madam Shen, please accept it."
Shen Ruolan took the hot eggs and said to Village Chief Wu, "Uncle Wu, I accept your kindness, but this will not happen again."
Although they were just a few ordinary eggs, Shen Ruolan knew that they were the most precious things in the villagers' hands, because ten eggs could be exchanged for a month's worth of salt, so everyone could only eat a few of them in a year.
Village Chief Wu smiled gratefully at Shen Ruolan and said, "Well, I'll remember that."
After Shen Ruolan said goodbye to the village chief, she led everyone back.
Four days later, Shen Ruolan led everyone back to Fuzhai. Before she could catch her breath, she heard two childish voices shouting, "Mother!"
As soon as the two of them finished talking, they suddenly burst into tears.
When Shen Ruolan heard the children crying, she quickly ran forward and shouted, "Zhe Yi, An He."
Shen Qi was relieved to see his granddaughter return safely. When he saw her running towards him, he quickly hugged his two little grandchildren and said, "Lan'er, you are finally back."
Shen Ruolan took the two children, kissed them one by one, and coaxed them again, then looked up at grandpa and said, "Grandpa, you have worked hard these days."
Shen Qi said: "These are all minor matters. It's just that the two little guys keep asking for you every day, which is really frustrating."
His granddaughter was not at home, and the two children refused to be held even by Aunt Liu, who took care of them all day long. He had to hold Feifei to look for their mother every day. In less than twenty days, his old bones were almost broken by their torture.
After listening to her grandfather's words, Shen Ruolan looked down at the two children. Seeing that they were both looking at her with aggrieved expressions, she felt extremely guilty.
Shen Ruolan lowered her head and comforted the two children, saying, "Zheyi, Anhe, I'm sorry. It's very dangerous for mother to go out this time. I didn't mean to leave you alone."
After hearing what her mother said, Xiao Anhe looked at her with tears in her eyes and cried, "Mom..."
Xiao Zeyi also looked at his mother without blinking. Although he didn't cry, it could be seen from his pouting little mouth that he felt aggrieved.
Shen Ruolan coaxed the two children and said, "My dear babies, be good and don't cry. I promise I will never abandon you again, okay?"
After Shen Ruolan's repeated comfort and coaxing, the two children finally smiled happily, but they still stayed in Shen Ruolan's arms and refused to leave no matter who held them.
After being apart for more than half a month, Shen Ruolan missed her children very much. Although she was very tired at this time, she still happily carried her two children up the mountain.
Shen Ruolan was halfway there when she ran into Cheng Bo supporting Duan Ye coming from the opposite direction. Shen Ruolan smiled at him and asked, "Duan Ye, how are you doing lately?"
When she left, since she couldn't give him acupuncture, she left him some medicine and asked Ji Ning to teach him some disease-eliminating exercises. She didn't know whether he practiced them well.
Duan Ye glanced at the team behind Shen Ruolan, and seeing that everyone was carrying a lot of things, he knew that she had gained a lot on this trip.
Seeing this, Duan Ye bowed to Shen Ruolan and said with a sincere smile: "Congratulations, village chief, you have returned with a great harvest!"
After that, he answered Shen Ruolan's question: "Thank you for your concern, Village Chief. Duan Ye is much better now."
Shen Ruolan nodded to him, "Well, it's good that it's getting better."
After Shen Ruolan finished speaking, she saw Jiang Qing and Du Fang looking at her not far away. She nodded at him and continued to lead everyone up the mountain.
Du Fang looked at the team at the foot of the mountain and said to his master, "Master, it seems that Miss Shen has made a great harvest this time."
Jiang Qing said to his subordinates, "Remove the word 'seem'."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at the unfamiliar face behind Shen Ruolan, and his feelings towards Shen Ruolan became complicated.
The abilities of the little woman in front of him were beyond his comprehension. He really didn't know whether he should be happy or on guard.
After all, she, with her outstanding abilities, might be a stumbling block for him in the future!
Shen Ruolan didn't know what Jiang Qing was thinking. After she returned to the village, she told Ji Ning, "Ji Ning, register the food for this trip and store it in the warehouse."
"Yes, master." After Ji Ning finished speaking, he hurried back to his room to get his account book and started weighing and storing the goods.
"Ji Han, take the two heads downstairs to stay." Shen Ruolan said to Ji Han.
"Yes, Master." Ji Han said, and turned to the two masters behind him and said, "Masters, please follow me."
The two leaders of Beishan Village looked at Shen Ruolan and followed Ji Han.
After Shen Ruolan arranged for the two heads of the household, she said to the people who helped her carry the food back, "Fellow villagers, it's getting late today, so I have to ask you to camp in the village for one night. I will send someone to take you away tomorrow morning."
Shen Ruolan paused and continued, "All the villagers who were forcibly taken to Beishan Village can return to their homes after tomorrow. The rest of the villagers will return to Beishan Village along the same route."
After hearing what Shen Ruolan said, everyone fell silent. Many coolies mustered up the courage to ask Shen Ruolan, "Master Fu, may I ask, can we stay in your mountain and help you with your work?"
