Chapter 302: 302. Act of Righteousness

Amid Xiaosi’s expectant and surprised gaze, he led him and his sister into the alley they had just entered, and then he widened his eyes in shock.

The empty house, with only four walls remaining, was unexpectedly filled with things. Xiaosi excitedly moved forward, rummaging through this and pulling that, and even saw sweet sugar. Although their family had never lacked sugar, it didn’t stop his happiness, with these, his little buddies might have a chance to taste it too.

"Grandpa, are all these ours?" Xiaosi joyfully embraced the things piled on the ground.

"Yes," Old Man Hua’s eyes also flashed a smile as he glanced at his granddaughter.

"Jin’er, you stay here and watch. I’ll take your brother to find Uncle Hua Qiang and the others."

"Grandpa, I’ll stay here with my sister and wait, you go find Uncle Hua Qiang and them." Xiaosi wouldn’t let his sister stay here alone, even though his sister was better than him, it didn’t stop his desire to protect her.

"No," Hua Jin directly refused on behalf of her grandfather.

"Why not, I’m worrying about you, sis!"

"Then aren’t you worried about Grandpa, to let him walk alone in the town? Don’t forget Grandpa is old, you as a grandson shouldn’t you protect him!"

"I am worried, but sister is more..." Xiaosi hurriedly tried to explain, but was interrupted by his sister before finishing a sentence.

"You still have a conscience. Grandpa is an elderly man, it’s dangerous on the road. You go with him, besides, you here would be a burden for me, in case something happens, I’d have to mind your needs."

At the end of her words, Hua Jin’s eyes were blatant with disdain!

Heartbroken, Xiaosi felt his strong heart wounded again.

"Sis..." Xiaosi exaggeratedly clutched his heart.

"Alright, stop acting, hurry up, it’s already late."

Taking advantage of the time, there was also an opportunity to do something special.

The character of the current county magistrate, what Hua Jin heard and saw along the way, could be considered a small acknowledgment. Since she’s here, she shouldn’t go back without doing something proactive, lest she needs to find a way to tackle one village after another. Once her grandfather and Xiaosi leave, she was ought to get moving.

But... speed is crucial, or she might not keep up with their pace.

Xiaosi wanted to say more, but was suppressed by his sister’s absolute bloodline power. Despite reluctance, under her threatening gaze, he dutifully followed his grandfather away.

His sister was right... as a grandson, he also needs to protect his grandfather.

"Then... sis you must be careful, if you encounter anything don’t confront it head-on, wait for us to return."

Even after leaving, he couldn’t rest assured and added another sentence.

"Alright, I know, hurry up," Hua Jin waved, urging.

For such a long time, Uncle Hua Qiang and the others probably already left the town.

Watching the gradually departing figures, Hua Jin breathed a sigh of relief, waved her hand and the things on the ground disappeared, she turned and after orienting herself, ran towards the government office.

Her speed was so fast that passersby only felt a silhouette fly by, and in a blink of an eye, she was gone, thinking they were seeing things due to hunger.

Spending less than half a cup of tea’s time, Hua Jin arrived at the back of the government office again, surveyed the already repaired walls, Hua Jin smiled.

Jumping inside was completely feasible despite its height, actually, she didn’t plan on jumping into the government office, only needed to deliver things through the air.

The so-called government office wasn’t comparable to the county town’s office, in terms of scale it was much smaller, yet compared to the town’s mansion houses it had an added solemn dignity, it was a rare architectural piece.

Thinking spiritually around the office, seeing the insufficient grain and seed storage, Hua Jin sighed. However, in another room that seemed like a warehouse, she found a pile of scrap metal in the corner and became interested, clearly, these were tools dug out from ruins judging by the soil on them, Hua Jin couldn’t help but take another glance.

Didn’t see the esteemed county magistrate everyone talked about, only saw the county magistrate’s wife in the warehouse carefully checking the arrival of seeds with the government officials.

As for how she recognized it was the current magistrate’s wife, it was obvious. She’s neither blind nor deaf, naturally, someone informed her.

Taking a look around, ultimately choosing the back door of the office, there was a piece of open ground exactly suitable for placing things.

At that moment, the back door was tightly shut except for an old guard standing watch, no one was around.

Perhaps gatekeeping was too simple and monotonous, the old man was napping, blurry-eyed.

Sleeping quite soundly, Hua Jin murmured, not fearing undiscovery, then piles of sweet potatoes and potatoes silently appeared on the open ground, continuously emerging, it seemed like tens of thousands of kilos.

Simultaneously appearing were heaps of coarse grains, not too much or too little, controlled around twenty thousand jin, Hua Jin estimated these should temporarily solve the current problem.

These very quickly filled the backyard’s empty space, forming small mountains, and at the same time, a letter appeared.

Not much written content, mainly for deterrence.

The magistrate seemed indeed decent, but safeguarding was still necessary.

Overall, the grains were intended for the people, with methods on sweet potato and potato yield and cultivation, if anything is found not distributed among the people, if he could silently deliver things into the government office, naturally he could retrieve too, but by then what is taken may not just be grains, who knows?

It was all about threatening and deterrence.

After pondering, a few thousand more jin of rough salt was placed, the quality of rough salt wasn’t good, but without it, people really couldn’t manage.

After placing these, finally unable to resist, Hua Jin collected some discovered scrap metal into her spatial space, with these re-melted by Ironsmith Grandpa and the others, they might be able to produce quite a few farm implements and weapons right?

Then Hua Jin tossed a stone and disappeared outside the government office.

"Who... who..." The old man, startled awake, leapt up agilely, feeling his head being hit, guiltily shouted thinking he was caught loafing off while on duty.

But nothing except wind, while muttering in relief, the sights of objects leaving him stunned on the spot.

Not far from him, the backyard suddenly had piles of food, making him cry out in shock.

His terrified voice served as the best alarm, soon catching the attention of the government officials, appearing in the backyard within moments, before any questioning all were stunned like the old man, unable to react momentarily.

Food, so much food, the government office just spontaneously appeared with a massive amount of food.

Once one realized, the first action was to hurriedly run outside the office to report to Hu Yitou and inform the magistrate.

Moreover, the gatekeeping old man was taken to the magistrate’s wife who knew the situation, naturally resulting in being clueless.

As the old man said, he had a stomachache, just took a quick bathroom break, and suddenly there was a large pile in the yard, truly unaware of the cause.

The concern was the officials had thoroughly inspected the surroundings yet found no information, not even a footprint.

Nothing except the letter pressed on the food, leaving the magistrate’s wife puzzled, yet seeing so much food brought great joy, her husband wouldn’t lose sleep worrying over it now.

Regarding the magistrate who hurried back upon receiving the news, his delight was obvious, despite investigation, no results surfaced, ultimately attributing it to charitable acts by someone with gallant intentions, filled with emotion he bowed deeply in a set direction.

With these, Shanggu Town’s people truly wouldn’t worry, it was truly life-saving food.
