A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

Although coarse grains did not taste good, it could stave off hunger!

She also added some dried corn and some sweet potatoes. It would be healthier to provide a combination of items.

Ning Yue immediately started moving the rice. There were large bags of rice in the warehouse, and the bags were modern day products. They definitely wouldn’t make sense.

After she moved them out, she pulled out a large piece of coarse cloth, the kind that felt rough to the touch. She rubbed the cloth hard against the ground until it looked dusty and tattered. Then she placed it on the ground, poured all the grains on it, and covered it with a similar cloth.

In any case, everyone was here to escape. There was no food, but everyone had empty sacks. When the time came, they would all fill their own sacks!

When she was done, Ning Yue was drenched in sweat.

She took a break and took a shower in her space, but she didn’t change her clothes. She even messed up her hair a little and wet it. She still looked dirty, but she felt much better.

After eating a little more food, she went down the hill.

By this time, the villagers must have drawn water and gone down. She did not have to return to the small pond.

“Yueyue! Where’s Yueyue?!”

When Madam He saw that everyone had returned and Ning Yue had disappeared, she was so anxious that tears streamed down her face as she searched for her.

Ning Bai told her that Ning Yue had come down first. Why hadn’t she seen her after so long?

Did she run into danger along the way?

Just as everyone was about to go look for Ning Yue, Ning Yue ran down the mountain by herself. When Madam He saw that it was her, she rushed over and hugged her. “What’s wrong with you? You scared me to death. Why did you dawdle on the mountain alone for so long? Your father was the same. He didn’t watch over you and came back himself!”

Ning Guang stood at the side like a child who had done something wrong.

Ning Yue felt helpless. She had no choice. She needed time to arrange so much food.

However, she still had to pretend on the surface. She hugged He Shi and looked excited. “Mother, we have food!”

These words stunned everyone again. They had just come down the mountain after loading up on water. They were lucky to have so much water. No one had expected to find any more food.

After all, this was still a drought area. Even the landlords who used to have rich families had no surplus food.

Not to mention ordinary citizens like them.

Old Master Ning couldn’t believe it. He grabbed Ning Yue’s hand with trembling hands. “Yueyue, what did you say? Food? Where is the food?”

“Grandpa, I was actually lost when I went down the mountain just now. That’s why I was delayed for so long. I accidentally fell into a hole and was scared to death. I wanted to fumble out, but I touched some food. Look!” Ning Yue took out a dried corn cob.

That’s the proof!

Everyone looked at the corncob stick. The kernels on it had dried, but it was still edible with boiling water. It was delicious to everyone.

Ning Bai stared at it. It was like a dream.

“Chief, quickly bring people along. I’ll take you there. Uncle, bring the things I gave you earlier. Everyone, bring the sacks and cloth that can hold food!” Ning Yue was a good leader. Seeing that the village chief seemed to be stunned and did not know how to react, she simply made arrangements.

“Quick, listen to Yueyue!” Old Master Ning immediately ordered everyone.

Ning Bai reacted and echoed, “Yes, yes, yes, follow her! Bring all the bags that can hold food!”

The villagers who had just descended the mountain immediately found bags and climbed up the mountain again. No one felt tired at all because this was their hope of survival.

The women, children, and old people waiting at the bottom of the hill burst into tears, but they were tears of joy.

Ning Yue led everyone to the side of the cave. She instructed everyone, “Be careful. This cave entrance is facing down. I was lost and accidentally stepped on air and fell down.”

Eldest Brother Ning took the lead. He shone his flashlight at the entrance and carefully went down.

He went to check first. When he lifted the rough cloth and saw hundreds of kilograms of food, he was so shocked that he could not recover. It took him a few seconds to return to the entrance of the cave and call out, “Come down quickly. There’s a lot!”

Everyone was excited. They decided that some of them would go down and some of them would be responsible for helping them out of the cave. After all, climbing up this cave was a little troublesome.
