I used space to carry a lot of supplies to escape famine in ancient times
Chapter 8 People’s hearts are floating
In the days after repelling the bandits, the atmosphere in the village did not return to the calm and peaceful state that Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan had expected. Although the fierce battle ended with the victory of the villagers, the damage and losses caused by the battle were clearly visible.
The warehouses that were originally filled with food were left with little after being looted by bandits and affected by the fighting. Some houses were burned down to charred frames, and the injured villagers lay on makeshift beds, groaning in pain. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were busy taking care of the injured and distributing medicines, trying to help the village recover from this catastrophe as soon as possible.
However, the shortage of supplies was only part of the problem. In the difficult situation, some people's doubts and uneasiness began to surface. Several villagers whispered in the corner, their eyes drifting towards Gu Qianning from time to time, revealing their doubts about her space.
"Tell me, where do Gu Qianning's magical supplies come from? Why can she always take out what we need? Is there some hidden secret?" A pointed-faced villager whispered.
"Maybe she has some treasure space that contains endless things. Otherwise, how can we explain these supplies that appeared out of nowhere?" another burly villager echoed.
These words gradually spread among the villagers, and those who were originally full of gratitude and trust in Gu Qianning began to waver in their hearts.
One afternoon, the villagers gathered in the open space in the center of the village to discuss the future of the village.
"We are running out of food. Staying here means we will die. I think we should leave and look for opportunities somewhere else." A young villager spoke first, his eyes full of worry about the current situation.
"Leave? Where can we go? There are wars and bandits everywhere outside. Wouldn't we be seeking death if we go out? We might as well stay here and rely on Gu Qianning's supplies." An elderly villager retorted. He was filled with fear at the idea of leaving the village.
"But how long can her supplies last? And her things of unknown origin always make people feel uneasy." Another villager raised questions.
Everyone was arguing, and the scene was in chaos. Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan stood aside, watching the quarreling villagers, their hearts filled with helplessness and sadness.
"Everyone, be quiet for a moment." Chu Mohan stepped forward and tried to calm the quarrel. "We have just experienced a great war. What we need most now is unity, not suspicion and quarreling with each other."
"Unity? We followed you to fight off the bandits, but now we can't even get enough food to eat. How can we unite?" the pointed-faced villager said provocatively.
Gu Qianning took a deep breath and said, "I know everyone has doubts about my space, but I have never intended to harm you. I use those supplies to help us get through this difficult time together."
"Humph, who knows whether what you said is true or not. Maybe you have some selfish motives." Someone in the crowd shouted.
Hearing this, Gu Qianning's eyes turned red. She had given so much to this village, but in return she received such suspicion and accusations. Chu Mohan held her hand tightly, giving her support and comfort.
"No matter what you think, I will work hard for the future of the village with Qian Ning. If you choose to leave, I will not stop you, but please don't spread rumors or create conflicts here." Chu Mohan said firmly.
At this time, an old man who had been silent stood up and said, "Everyone calm down. We can't forget everything Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan have done for us. Now is not the time to blame each other. We should work together to find a solution to the problem."
The old man's words made some villagers fall into deep thought, but some still insisted on leaving. In the end, some villagers decided to pack up and leave the village to find what they thought was a better way out; while others chose to stay, trusting Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan, and rebuild the village together.
The villagers who decided to leave set out on their journey in the morning mist, their figures gradually moving away. Gu Qianning looked at the direction they were leaving, feeling mixed emotions.
Although the villagers who stayed behind chose to trust, there was still a hint of confusion and uncertainty in their eyes. Gu Qianning knew that she had to work harder to regain everyone's full trust.
In the following days, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan were even busier. On the one hand, they led the villagers to cultivate the land again, hoping to harvest food as soon as possible; on the other hand, Gu Qianning used the remaining materials in the space to exchange with other villages for some daily necessities.
When working in the fields, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan personally went to the fields to teach the villagers new planting techniques to increase crop yields. They worked under the scorching sun, their clothes soaked with sweat, but they never complained.
In the evening, they organized the villagers to study together, taught everyone to read and write, and imparted some simple handicraft skills so that everyone could make some items in their spare time for exchange or personal use.
As time went by, tender green seedlings gradually grew on the land in the village, and the first batch of materials exchanged were distributed to the villagers. Seeing that their lives were gradually getting better, the doubts of the villagers who stayed behind gradually dissipated, and they began to devote themselves more actively to the construction of the village.
However, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan did not relax. They knew that this was just the beginning and there was still a long way to go before the village could truly achieve self-sufficiency. They had to keep working hard to bring new vitality to this once troubled village.
They began to solve some deep-seated problems, such as how to improve agricultural production efficiency and increase the added value of agricultural products. To this end, they looked for experts everywhere, learned advanced agricultural technologies, and passed these technologies on to the villagers. At the same time, they also actively explored the market and found more sales channels to ensure that agricultural products could be sold smoothly.
In addition to agriculture, they also focus on developing other industries. For example, they use local natural resources to develop tourism and attract more tourists to visit and relax. In addition, they also encourage villagers to engage in side businesses such as handicraft production to increase their income sources.
During this process, Gu Qianning and Chu Mohan always maintained a high level of enthusiasm and sense of responsibility. They deeply understood the needs and difficulties of each villager and tried their best to help them solve them. They won the trust and respect of the villagers with their actions and became leaders in everyone's mind.
