It is transported away, not taken away.

They already have a lot of food in the convoy. Even if Yan Shilei and others join, they will not be able to take away too much food.

In order to prevent the free food from falling into the hands of the Red Lotus Sect or other people again, they must change the place for the food.

Uncle He heard the conversation between Zhou Yunshu and Yan Shilei and stepped forward.

He also saw that Zhou Yunshu had always had a cold attitude towards him. If he didn't take the initiative to fight for something for himself, Zhou Yunshu might find an opportunity to kill him when his value was gone.

Yes, kill him instead of letting him go.

Based on his understanding of Zhou Yunshu, Zhou Yunshu did not avoid him in so many things during this period, which meant that she had never thought about letting him leave and leaving alive.

Instead of really waiting until you live and I die, he might as well surrender as soon as possible.

Not to mention, he found that there was nothing wrong with following Zhou Yunshu.

People still need to be aware of current affairs.

Especially when he saw that Shopkeeper Liang, Yan Shilei and Du Mazi on Wolong Mountain were all hers, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that the farce that day was probably planned by Zhou Yunshu, and there was absolutely no second person.

At present, Uncle He was not persuaded by Zhou Yunshu's previous promise, but he was impressed by Zhou Yunshu's methods.

Maybe this is the legendary saying of eating hard things but not taking soft things.

“There’s so much food, it’s a problem for those of us trying to move it away.”

Uncle He told the truth this time.

"What does Uncle He mean?" Zhou Yunshu asked when Uncle He took the initiative to talk to him.

"Get someone to help."

After hearing this, Zhou Yunshu smiled and said: "So these grains are not in the mountains and forests, but in the villages or... just in the villages."

Zhou Yunshu clearly saw Uncle He's eyes change when she mentioned the village, which meant that she guessed correctly.

Zhou Yunshu had indeed guessed correctly, and Uncle He was even more afraid of Zhou Yunshu.

In his original plan, he had now gotten rid of Zhou Yunshu and others, and found a buyer for the grain, a buyer who could swallow five thousand shi of grain.

The money he got from selling grain was what he relied on for his future life.

It's just that the plan can never keep up with the changes, and Zhou Yunshu is very interested in him and can control him very much.

Now that Zhou Yunshu had guessed it, Uncle He no longer concealed it, "It is true that in the village, I am the only one who has the key to the place where the food is placed."

"Uncle He wants the villagers in that village to help move?"

Uncle He nodded.

Zhou Yunshu refused: "We should do it ourselves."

"That's five thousand shi of grain. It's not a small project if we move it ourselves."

Zhou Yunshu nodded. One stone weighed almost one hundred and twenty kilograms. Five thousand stones was indeed not a small amount, but she still wanted to move it by herself.

"You can rest assured when you move by yourself. You are so sure that the people in the village will not betray you after they help you move."

Uncle He said: "They have little knowledge, and they can just find any excuse to keep them secretive."

"Others can just give you some reasons to sell you out." Zhou Yunshu looked at Uncle He and said with a smile, "Sometimes it's better not to underestimate those who are weaker than yourself."

There is a saying that goes, water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it.

Uncle He didn't know why but he thought of Zhou Yunshu who had just come to Wolong Mountain. Wasn't it because he didn't pay attention to Zhou Yunshu, a thin scholar, that he got to where he is today?

"Okay, I listen to you." Uncle He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yunshu seriously and said, "I will listen to you from now on."

Zhou Yunshu raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Uncle He means that he will stay with us in the future."

"Yes, I don't know if I have the honor to work for Mr. Zhou."

Although Zhou Yunshu didn't know what made Uncle He suddenly change his mind, she was still very happy.

"Of course! Uncle He, you will be glad you made your choice today in the future."

He Wenyuan didn't know whether he would be happy or not in the future, but now he had begun to feel happy.

After Uncle He told everyone in the team that he would follow Zhou Yunshu from now on, his treatment and popularity in the team suddenly improved.

It was like a fish that had been drying on the beach for a long time finally returned to the sea. If he had known that this would happen, he would have surrendered when he was in Fucheng.

The whole team was united, and Zhou Yunshu felt relieved. When she arrived at the place where Uncle He said the food was hidden two days later, her heart almost lifted.

They originally thought that the village Uncle He mentioned was a small village in a ravine, hidden enough.

But in fact, this village is not in a ravine, and it is not considered hidden.

The village they came to was called Damiao Village. It was named because there was a temple on the mountain to the east of the village.

The Temple of the Empress Dowager was so popular in the past that many dignitaries built roads for it, which benefited the people of Damiao Village and made it easier for Zhou Yunshu and others to enter and exit now.

The people in Damiao Village didn't seem to know what happened in Wolong Mountain or the Red Lotus Sect, so they were extremely respectful to Uncle He's arrival.

The village chief even wanted to bribe Uncle He and asked him when he could upgrade himself to the fourth level of Red Lotus Envoy.

After Uncle He gave the village chief a promise that could never be realized, he took Zhou Yunshu and others to the ancestral hall.

The Damiao Village ancestral hall is very large, and the second half of it is newly built.

In this famine year when food and clothing were scarce, the villagers of Damiao Village guarded so much food that even Ningyuan went hungry without touching it.

When Uncle He said that he wanted to transport the food here, the village chief and the people in the village didn't say anything.

Because the incense in the temple was very popular in the past, they believed in ghosts and gods more than ordinary people. Later, the people in the temple switched to the Red Lotus Sect. They believed in the Red Lotus Sect wholeheartedly. It can be said that they were loyal to the Red Lotus Sect. believer.

Of course, they trust the Red Lotus Sect so much not only because the Red Lotus Sect is powerful, but also because the Red Lotus Sect can exempt people in their village from corvee labor.

With such a religion whose hands and eyes are open to the sky, even the government listens to them, and they dare not disobey them.

But as Uncle He said before, these grains are indeed not good luck.

Zhou Yunshu deliberately stuffed all these grains into her own space, but these grains had passed through the clear way, and it was better to keep the passed-through food under her nose.

"So, where to transport it?" Wu Gui asked, looking at the grain in front of him.

Silence, no one spoke.

After Uncle He's introduction, they also knew that there were only three villages within a few dozen miles, and these three villages knew everything about them. There was no big difference between hiding in other villages and hiding here. They found out as soon as they asked.

Zhou Yunshu turned to look at Uncle He and asked, "Is there anyone else in the temple on the mountain?"

Uncle He's eyes lit up, he shook his head and said, "There is no one here. The Temple of the Empress Dowager on the mountain has been abandoned for five or six months."
