Chapter 225 Go straight for the robbery
Wasn't this kid here to help his brother negotiate a business deal?
How did it turn into helping?
Did they all want to come to Longhu Mountain because they couldn't make a living in the county town?
It's no wonder Dewey thought that way, because he knew the rest of the story very well. There was no food left inside, and anyone who could survive in there must have had some food at home, otherwise they would have moved out!
These past few days, his brother has been leading people around, but they haven't gotten anything out of it. No one is passing by anymore, and business has stopped. Moreover, as far as he knows, that damned local official in Longxing County has already fled with his valuables.
A place without a county official is bound to cause unrest sooner or later, and with no food to eat right now, it's only a matter of time before things escalate.
Lin Bao finished speaking and, not hearing a reply, looked at Dewey, preparing to give him some more benefits. But before he could speak, he heard Dewey ask.
"Brother, who are you looking for? Just tell me, and I'll definitely help you find them. But you know how difficult it is to find someone in the entire Longxing County these days!"
"I know it's not easy to find someone now, but I hope that you, Master Du, can send someone to look for them. Just to confirm whether that person is still in Longxing County will be enough."
Dewey nodded in agreement upon hearing this, but finding someone was no big deal to him.
Moreover, he agreed to this because he had his own selfish motives; his people could use this opportunity to make a trip to Longxing County.
As for what I'm going there to do, I can't tell anyone!
The two finished their business quickly. Dewey wanted to keep them there for a good meal, but just as he finished speaking, his subordinates reported that Lin Long had taken two people up the mountain.
Lin Bao was a little taken aback by what he heard, while Dewey laughed.
"Haha, Brother Lin, you two are truly brothers!"
"You two came to my place one after the other, and if it weren't for the timing of your arrival, I would have suspected that you two had planned to come here together."
Lin Bao's lips twitched. He hadn't made any arrangements with the boss, and besides, he hadn't even met the boss since he came to the county town.
Upon hearing that he had brought two people up the mountain, Lin Bao frowned. He had initially wanted to avoid the situation, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
It's best not to do things that you can hide from the first day of the month but not the fifteenth, otherwise you'll be in trouble when you get caught red-handed!
When Lin Long led his men in, Lin Bao, who was sitting there, seemed to be taken aback. After realizing what was happening, he greeted Du Wei and then turned to look at Lin Bao.
"Why aren't you staying home? What are you doing here?"
"My mother sent me here, I didn't come on my own."
Although this is a shield, he is telling the truth. He is just using this incident to cover for himself and escape a disaster.
Upon hearing this, Lin Long had no further questions. Since his mother had sent him, there must be a reason. Suppressing his doubts, Lin Long explained his purpose to Du Wei.
When Dewey heard what he said, he looked at Lin Bao and thought the two brothers seemed quite amusing.
One person asked him to help find people, and the other asked him to help find food, so which one should he help first?
"Don't worry, boss. As long as you find me, you'll be paid. I promise you won't work for nothing."
"Brother Lin, you've misunderstood me. That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask, if I found the grain, and it's the kind that doesn't cost any money, would you have the guts to take it?"
As soon as he said that, the two brothers craned their necks, and Lin Bao was also very curious about where they could get food for free.
Seeing that both brothers wanted to know, Dewey said two words, and Lin Bao immediately shook his head upon hearing those two words.
"No, no, not in the military camp. Is there anywhere else?"
Seeing Lin Bao shaking his head so hard it looked like a rattle drum, Dewey found it hilarious and started laughing.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, your younger brother is so much fun! How did you have such a fun younger brother?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao quickly composed himself. How could someone be described as "funny"?
Lin Long couldn't bear to watch anymore. They were saying there was plenty of food and it didn't cost any money. Did they mean it had to be in the military camp?
The food in the military camp is indeed free, but who would dare to steal it unless they are a top-notch expert or have no regard for their life?
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking? I'm talking about the military camp, but it doesn't necessarily mean ours!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. If it wasn't one of our troops, could it be the enemy's?
If they really went, they probably wouldn't be enough to take down the enemy with a single blow, right?
He didn't say this aloud, otherwise Dewey would probably be laughing so hard his stomach hurt. After he finished speaking, he said, "This is just a suggestion, it doesn't mean we have to go there."
"As far as I know, they've run out of supplies too, but recently they've looted quite a bit of food from our land."
His brother discovered this and immediately sent someone back to report, but there were too many people on the other side, so he couldn't take action and thus refrained from intervening.
He felt sorry for his brother, and he wouldn't let him do things he wasn't sure about.
They would never allow their brothers to lose their lives for some food.
After hearing what Dewey said, Lin Long thought for a moment before asking, "So where are they now?"
Hearing this, he knew that Lin Long was interested in taking a gamble. He gave him the address, and the two began to discuss how to get there.
Hearing their conversation, Lin Bao was still a little confused. When he realized that Lin Long was really going to steal the grain, he grabbed Lin Long.
"Brother, are you stupid? This is a matter of life and death, are you going to go too?"
“If we don’t go, there will be no food. My brothers have no food, and my parents and younger sister have no food either. Do you want me to see them all starve to death?”
"Who said there's no food at home? There's food at home..."
Lin Bao couldn't say anything more because things were almost over at home. When he came out, there was only a little less than half a container of rice left in the rice jar in the kitchen.
Besides these, there are some whole grains, which can last for a while, but who knows what the situation will be like next year!
Seeing that his younger brother couldn't speak, Lin Long handed him over to Atai.
He was going to gather manpower and pick out a few more, while the rest would be placed in another location.
