Chapter 68 Found the grain storage cave (begging for monthly tickets!)

Just now, Jia Gui Niang said that Liu Quansheng wrote a letter of denunciation.

Moreover, Jia Guiniang cursed herself and Zhang Sanbao to die in the mountains.

Xu Ye looked down on gold and silver dollars, but food made him somewhat jealous.

However, when he thought about the stale grain that had been stored for who knows how many years, Xu Ye became more sober.

"Where is that grain storage cave? Tell me first." Xu Ye asked directly.

"There is a cave under the waterfall behind the Li family. After you go in, there is a big cave. There is a small cave on the right side of the cave." Jia Gui Niang told the truth.

"Very good, thank you for telling me this. Let's see whose letter of complaint the commune will deal with first." As he said that, Xu Ye slid down from above.

The trouble with Liu Quansheng must be solved, and the fact that they stole and hid the things that were confiscated from the house is a perfect reason.

When Jia Gui Niang heard that Xu Ye was going to report it, she was stunned.

Originally, she thought Xu Ye would not expose it just for the food.

After all, Xu Ye had just asked about the location of the grain storage cave.

"All the food is yours. We don't want it anymore. Please let my son go..."

"Don't go, come back."

Jia Gui Niang rushed directly towards Xu Ye and tried to climb over the wall to persuade Xu Ye.

Xu Ye did not stay and immediately left the ditch and went around.

He quickly walked to the leopard and untied the rope.

Originally Xu Ye was worried that Jia Guiniang would chase him out and make a scene, but that didn't happen.

Xu Ye didn't think much about it and went straight home to prepare to write a letter of complaint.

After returning home and seeing the path, Xu Ye decided to go look for the grain storage cave that Jia Gui Niang mentioned.

Otherwise, if you write it in the report letter and it turns out to be not the right place, that would be bad.

Jia Gui Niang is so smart, it is possible that she would trick me and tell me a false position.

The road is only half a meter wide. After entering it, there is a small hill covered with loess. On the hill, there are some oil tea trees owned by the village collective.

There is a small fork in the road behind the Li family's house. Walking along the back house, you will find the canal between the Li and Fan families.

The original location of the Fan family was also a Buddhist temple built by the Li family. Later it was divided to the Fan family, who rebuilt it.

Walking along the path beside the canal, you will see more and more stones, and you will see the waterfall after more than a hundred meters.

After bringing the leopard in, Xu Ye found the entrance to the cave under the waterfall.

There are piles of rocks outside, and you can't tell there is a small hole here unless you reach the entrance.

Because there are no fish or shrimps in this canal, the water is not deep, and there are no ponds or anything like that.

Therefore, the children in the village will not come here to play in the water.

If Jia Gui Niang hadn't said it, Xu Ye would never have thought that there was such a place hidden here.

The cave was not big, and Xu Ye had to crouch down to walk inside.

After walking seven or eight meters, a huge cave appeared in front of us.

The cave was pitch black, with no light at all.

Even in this dark situation, Xu Ye found that he could actually see something.

Xu Ye took out a flashlight from his bag. After turning it on, the entire cave instantly became bright, just like daytime outside.

The space inside the cave is very large, and the temperature inside is obviously much lower than outside, and there is a chill.

It also felt relatively dry, and then Xu Ye found some limestone on the ground.

"So, if nothing unexpected happens, the Li family's limestone comes from this cave?"

Xu Ye walked to the right and found the small cave that Jia Gui Niang had mentioned.

There are some wooden granaries in the cave with words written on the outside.

Xu Ye walked to the location of the rice, pulled out a piece of wood, and the rice poured out.

“There’s no decay at all?”

Xu Ye was a little surprised. He didn't expect the rice to be so dry.

Looking at the quicklime on the ground, Xu Ye felt relieved.

The air here is extremely dry, so it is indeed possible to preserve it for such a long time without getting moldy. Moreover, the environment here is very stable, and the temperature difference between day and night should not change much, and the temperature is relatively fixed.

Storing food has always been a talent of the Chinese people and a sense of crisis engraved in their bones, especially in turbulent times.

If you have food at home, you won't panic when things go wrong.

From ancient times to the present, the landlord class has always liked to hoard grain.

Xu Ye peeled the husks of the rice, peeled a dozen or so and poured them into his mouth.

After chewing it for a few times, there was no taste that was wrong.

Then Xu Ye checked the sorghum, wheat and corn.

All are well preserved.

However, many granaries were empty, so it was unlikely that the Liu mother and son had eaten all the food.

The original food stored here should not be particularly large, but it is enough for twenty people to eat for two or three years.

"If I monopolize this food, my father-in-law and his family will have white rice to eat for two or three years."

Given the current situation, it is not realistic to move the food here.

If I report the Liu family's situation, the higher-ups will definitely find this place.

But if I don't report it and share it with Jia Gui Niang and Liu Quansheng, it will also be a big trouble.

Liu Quansheng is a complete villain, and it would be very troublesome to have leverage over him in the hands of such a person.

After searching around, Xu Ye found a few old sacks.

After checking that there were no leaks, Xu Ye directly filled a bag of rice and a bag of wheat and moved them outside.

When I come back in the evening, I can get a few dozen bags and move them back to the cellar, and I won’t be able to tell how much food is missing.

Because the exit is small, it is not so easy to move it out, and it would require a tool at best.

Now Xu Ye also understood why Jia Gui Niang used a backpack, which was to make it easier to get in and out.

More than 200 pounds is not a big deal for Xu Ye.

When walking to the back of the Li family's house, Xu Ye noticed that the Li family originally had a back door, which was later blocked with earth bricks. The color was different from the earth wall next to it.

This door can be reopened in a while.

Once the villagers have dug up their own residential land, it will be convenient to grow vegetables there.

As he thought about it, he quickened his pace and carried the two bags of grain back home.

Everyone is working now, and there are not many people on the village road.

After carrying it back home, Xu Ye heard the sound of wooden boards being removed on the second floor of the house.

Needless to say, it must be Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue who were dismantling the room.

Xu Ye put the rice and wheat away, then found a hoe.

After searching the innermost wall, he found the location of the door, and then Xu Ye started digging.

After digging for a while, perhaps because of the noise, Jiang Ruoan and Jiang Ruyue came down from the building.

"Brother Ye, what are you doing?" Jiang Ruoan asked puzzledly.

Didn’t you say you were going to look for the problem with Liu Quansheng’s family? Why are you digging up your own wall?

Are you going to tear down the whole house?
"Originally there was a door here, and there were doorposts on both sides."

"After digging, when our homestead is ready we can go there and grow vegetables without having to go around in a long detour," Xu Ye explained.

"As for the Liu family, don't worry. They won't be able to stay around for long."

"I have discovered their problems, and I wrote a report letter at night, asking the higher-ups to raid their homes."

Xu Ye did not explain too much, he still wanted to make some plans for the grain storage cave.

Jia Guiniang hasn't come to the house yet, so she must have gone to see Liu Quansheng.

If nothing unexpected happens, Liu Quansheng will come to my house at noon to seek "reconciliation".

If Liu Quansheng really didn't know the location of the grain storage cave, there was still room for maneuver.
