Chapter 1541: Can We Live?

“Not only that, I only brought back two sacks. There’s still a lot of them from where I came from, it’s enough for us to eat for half a year. Xue Yan and Jiang Yue said that they were for our village, so my father asked me to come back and get someone to move them. Quickly! We need to go now!”

“For half a year?” Everyone gasped. Then, they all looked at the village chief.

Tao Jinyan then gave a simple description of Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. He also mentioned that Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Shoushou had met and brought them into the village to inquire about a few things. Tao Zhen had already opened the sack to check what was inside, it was exactly as he said — it was filled with rice grains!

They were all very healthy-looking rice grains. There was not a single shriveled grain.

“This rice is healthy. I’ve never seen such good grain in so many years.” No one dared to believe it.

Tao Zhen couldn’t believe it either.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At the same time, his mind kept spinning. He felt that even if Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were not the Emperor’s people, they were really like what his father said; they were people who cared about the well-being of others.

Who would give their village so much food like Jiang Yue and Xue Yan?

Regardless of who Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were, Tao Zhens’s doubts about them disappeared at this moment. He will not consider them as great benefactors of his village.

“Father, let’s go.” Tao Zhen hurriedly said. “They are kind enough to give us food. Let’s not talk about moving everything here first. We have to hurry up and thank them.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Tao Jinyan nodded his head and was also extremely grateful to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan. “I will slow everyone down. You take the people and go with Shoushou first. I’ll follow behind. Remember, you must thank them properly.”

“Got it.” After saying that, Tao Zhen called out to the strong people in the village and quickly followed Zhang Shoushou.

The others called out to the villagers who did not know and quickly went to help.

Regardless of whether they were old or young, men or women, the whole village rushed over.

The children danced happily and clapped their hands, “There’s food to eat! So much food to eat!”

The older generation, especially those with white hair and crutches, had red eyes. Everyone has been suffering lately, so they sacrificed a lot to feed the younger generation. Usually, the elderly in the family would try their best to eat less or not eat, leaving the food to the children and grandchildren at home. They even felt that if they died earlier, it might make the family a little more relaxed… Did this mean they could survive now?

If they could live, wouldn’t that be great?

Zhang Dazhu was guarding the grain, seeds, and vegetables. When he saw his son coming with the villagers, he immediately waved his hands. “Here, over here!”

Tao Zhen and the others walked even faster.

He saw piles of grain behind the bushes. It was enough for the entire village to eat for half a year. If they were to eat sparingly, they could probably last for a whole year.

“Where did Xue Yan and Jiang Yue go?” Tao Zhen asked anxiously.

“Yeah, where are they?” The others also asked anxiously.

Zhang Dazhu said, “They left. I tried to stop them, but they were hurrying to go home. They were afraid that their families would worry, so I couldn’t stop them.”

“Then which direction did they leave? Let’s go after them. No matter what, I have to thank them.” Shuanzi said.

“I’ve already thanked him on behalf of the entire village.” Zhang Dazhu said.

“That won’t do. We have to thank them personally.” Tao Zhen, Shuanzi, and the others said.

“They went that way,” Zhang Dazhu pointed.

Tao Zhen and the others who had recovered quickly from the walk here went to chase after them.
