Such a father.
As if he wasn't there.
Su Miaomiao ignored him and said to Ji Bo and the others, "Weren't we looking for mountain goods? We ended up finding them near the pile of rocks, and by chance discovered some things. Since you're all here, have someone help move them back! There's a lot, quickly tell the lumberjacks to stop for a bit!"
Ji Bo was stunned, not knowing what good thing it could be, but he nodded quickly and sent Xiao Wu Zi to call for people as instructed.
Xiao Wu Zi and Xiao Liu Zi immediately responded and left with great speed.
Gao Dashan was surprised that she had found treasures again, but he felt no jealousy. His first reaction was to ask, "Was it strenuous? If you need manpower, I'll go with you all, I don't need anything in return."
He said he was just helping them, not trying to ask for anything.
If he offended her.
He also apologized.
Su Miaomiao sincerely thanked him, "Thank you very much, but we can move it ourselves, it will just take a few more trips. Next time I need help, I won't be polite with you. And your village has been walking everywhere, climbing mountains and crossing ridges, you must be exhausted. It's time to rest."
She said it wasn't necessary.
Her own belongings, her own supplies, naturally required her own people to move them.
Although the three teams had a good relationship, it didn't mean they should merge.
Everyone should still live their own lives.
The supplies were naturally managed by each team individually. Shan Ao Village had even decentralized it to each household, and now they chose to cook for themselves rather than communal meals. It was understandable, given their complex situation.
The amount of supplies for each household varied, so a communal meal wouldn't be appropriate.
Those with more were unwilling to share with others, while those with less had no complaints.
In any case, everyone would continue to live separately.
Therefore.
Shan Ao Village was currently in this state, let alone the issues between the three teams.
Merging was out of the question.
At most, they were good partners.
Gao Dashan was naturally understanding and, hearing Su Miaomiao's words, he got it.
He said goodbye and went back to rest.
Steward Du was extremely curious but couldn't find anything out.
The young girl looked innocent, but her lips were very tight, and he couldn't get any information out of her.
Su Miaomiao didn't talk much with Steward Du. She wasn't familiar with him, and he immediately tried to pry information out of her, asking what treasure she had found that was so heavy it required so many people to move? Was it really that amazing?
She just nodded repeatedly to appease him, "Uh-huh, yes, that's right?"
Then she directed the Cheng family servants who had been summoned, telling them to follow her.
"Ji Bo, you stay and guard. I'll take everyone over first!"
Su Miaomiao looked around. Cheng Dazhuang and his brother, Wang Yiming, had arrived, along with a few older servants. Moving things would require a few trips.
There was quite a bit of stuff.
Although the others were unclear about what was happening, they were now obedient to her.
They did whatever they were told.
They readily followed her, although they were a bit confused.
Ji Bo wanted to go too, but considering his age and that his hands and feet weren't as nimble as the younger ones, he might just be a burden to the children if he went. So, he decided against it.
"Alright, I'll stay and watch the house. You all be careful!"
In the old man's aged voice, there was always a touch of concern for the children.
Su Miaomiao felt a trace of long-lost familial affection from him, so she smiled sweetly at the old man and said, "You just wait!"
She would make him happy for a long time when she returned!
The group set off.
Su Miaomiao led the way.
Her speed was not slow.
They were all strong men, yet they found it quite difficult to keep up with her, a young girl?
Ultimately, they had to admit defeat.
The girl was indeed agile!
Su Miaomiao could easily outrun them even while slowing down. Although she was in a hurry, she patiently waited for everyone to catch up.
"What on earth is this good thing? It requires so much effort?"
"Yeah, it still looks like a long way. Where are we going?"
Everyone was indeed very curious.
Su Miaomiao called out to them from a distance. Despite their doubts, they could only follow.
As they followed her, they turned into a pile of rocks and saw her crawl into a rocky crevice. At this point, they couldn't help but start to worry.
"Are we really going in there? Miaomiao, you need to be careful! Is it really okay to go in there? Mountain caves are not to be entered casually!"
Cheng Dazhuang and Cheng Dali, having been persuaded by the young couple, now called her by her name.
The elder brother said so.
The younger brother wasn't to be outdone and said, "Exactly! Exactly! These caves are very dangerous. What if there are fierce beasts inside?"
Su Miaomiao had already nimbly crawled inside, her voice echoing, "I've already scouted it out, it's fine! Hurry up and come!"
Cheng Dazhuang and his brother exchanged glances. They knew this child was capable, but they didn't realize she was so capable, knowing even these things?
In the end, they could only shake their heads.
The younger generation was formidable!
Wang Daming understood some things, so he said to the brothers, "This stone cave is indeed passable. You don't need to worry, just follow."
He thought the brothers were hesitant to enter because they were worried about their safety and didn't know how to scout caves.
He spoke to reassure them.
The servants behind them, hearing this, then peered in cautiously.
The stone cave was formed by large rocks stacked together. It wasn't completely dark inside.
Although the light wasn't great either.
The Cheng Dazhuang brothers felt a bit embarrassed being urged, so they quickly followed in.
Wang Daming, however, found it strange.
This young couple was truly brave, daring to crawl into any place.
Until they reached a turn.
Everyone was stunned.
They couldn't even see the young couple, who had been getting cozy and had only been separated for less than fifteen minutes.
Reflected in their eyes were piles and piles of supplies, baskets upon baskets of grain! Big, white grains, so plump and beautiful! The large sweet potatoes scattered on the ground were also big and good-looking!
And there was salt, sugar, and so on, filling the entire small cave!
"My heavens! Am I dreaming? Big brother, quickly pinch me awake!"
Cheng Dali said this, and Cheng Dazhuang immediately pinched his arm, making him jump and yelp in pain as he clutched his arm.
"Ow, it really hurts! It really hurts! We're not dreaming! It's real!!"
After a long moment of stunned silence, everyone erupted, crowding around the supplies, hesitant to touch them, completely baffled and shocked.
Wang Daming couldn't believe there were so many supplies here. He murmured, "What is going on? In the deep mountains and old forests, how can there be so much? And the quality is so good?"
It was clearly the property of wealthy people.
How could ordinary families have such good supplies? And hide them here?
They would have taken them all away long ago!
