Farm Girl’s Space: Picking Up a Major Villain during the Runaway Journey

he patted her shoulder.

She realized that she had been too absorbed in her thoughts.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

“Our father is asking what we should do next.
Should we keep following them?” her older brother replied.

“Let’s rest for half an hour before we leave.
Find a place to rest first, and I’ll go out and take care of something,” said Shen Yu’an.

After finishing her sentence, Shen Yuan calmly left on her own.
There was something she had promised someone else to do last night but hadn’t gotten around to yet.

The Shen family didn’t ask her where she was going, they just shouted after her, “Remember to come back soon.”

……….

At this moment, on the west side of the county town, another group of people had gathered together.
They all looked dejected, and someone spoke up, “Uncle Li, it seems like everyone over there has already left.
When are we going to set out?”

Li, the old village head, was sitting on a stone pedestal, and after taking a look at the lifeless group, he said, “We’ll set out after noon.”

Although others didn’t understand why they had to wait until noon, they thought it didn’t matter when they left, so they didn’t say anything.

They were gathered in a shady spot, about seventy to eighty people in a circle, with no hope in their eyes as if they had lost all hope for life.

Only the old village head would sit or stand from time to time, trying to restrain his excitement and anxiety.

Could last night’s events just be a dream caused by hunger?

But he dared not go against the old immortal’s words.
What if they were refused food because he did not follow the old immortal’s instructions?

The anxious old village head could only sit and wait restlessly with mixed emotions.

Shen Yu’an walked into the open doorway of Liangji Grain Store in the west of the county town and found that it was also a mess inside.

She didn’t look for a hidden place and simply took out the food in a clean corner of the shop’s storefront.

She had already replaced the bags for the grain with big hemp sacks, each of which could hold around 200 kilograms of grain.

With a wave of her hand, the grain bags appeared in the clean corner in front of her, neatly stacked together.
She wasn’t sure how many people from the old Li’s village were there with him, but it didn’t seem to be more than a hundred people.

So, Shen Yu’an took out twenty-five bags of grain, which was enough for the villagers to eat for several months if they used it sparingly.

After considering this, Shen Yu’an filled several large tubs in the courtyard behind the grain store with water.
Finding water was difficult nowadays, so she thought she should help the people as much as she could.

After completing these tasks, Shen Yu’an left quietly once again.

….

Someone spoke up, “Uncle Li, we already went to the Liangji grain store last night.
There wasn’t much left, even in the warehouse in the back.
Why go again? Let’s conserve our energy here.”

But Old Li couldn’t sit still any longer.
With the sun high above their heads, he stood up and gestured, “Let’s go take a look at Liangji grain store.”

Little did they know, the food and water left behind by Shen Yu’an would surprise them.

Old Li Zheng was as stubborn as a bull and said, “What nonsense! Hurry up, everyone come with me.”

Seeing how excited Li Zheng was, everyone reluctantly got up from the ground and followed him.

They turned a corner, and a group of people arrived at the entrance of Liang Ji Grain Store.

The middle-aged man from the village watched as old Li took a couple of  deep breaths at the door of the store, but he didn’t go in.

Impatiently, he muttered, “Uncle, what are you doing? I told you there’s nothing inside…” and then suddenly exclaimed, “Wait, there is something!”

The middle-aged man who couldn’t resist opening the door was stunned.
What’s going on?

He rubbed his eyes and looked incredulously at the corner of the room.

“Grain, grain, grain… so much food!!!”

The middle-aged man’s scream shattered the calm outside the door.
