In the famine, others ate Guanyin soil, but he had space to build a farm.
Chapter 64 Sun Ying's Base Camp
The little girl's eyes were fixed on the small bag of food in her hand. What was flashing in her eyes was not only the desire for food, but also the persistence and tenacity to survive. Her little hand tightly grasped the bag, as if it was her only support in this world, and she was afraid that it would disappear without a trace in the next moment.
"Thank you!" Her voice trembled with deep gratitude. She knew how precious the food was, so how could she accept it so easily? However, when she was about to refuse, Lin Kunlun had already jumped on the horse, his movements were graceful and neat. He turned around and smiled faintly, saying, "No need to thank me, it's just a small favor." Then he whipped the horse and left, leaving the little girl standing in the wind.
At this moment, the old man lying on the ground slowly opened his cloudy eyes. He looked at the girl in front of him with doubts in his eyes: "Guihua, what's going on? Why am I lying here?" His voice was weak and trembling, and it was obvious that his body had not fully recovered.
Guihua hurried forward to support the old man, her voice with a hint of tears in it: "Grandpa, you scared me to death! You suddenly fainted just now, and fortunately a kind man passing by on horseback saved you. He also gave us this!" As she spoke, she carefully held the bag of sorghum flour in front of the old man.
When the old man saw the bag of sorghum flour, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "This... this is sorghum flour! We really met a noble person today! Guihua, help me up quickly, we have to hide this food. With these, we, the grandparents and grandchildren, can live longer." Although his voice was weak, his tone was full of determination and hope.
Guihua helped the old man stand up slowly, her heart filled with excitement and gratitude. She knew that this food meant the continuation of their lives. They had been suffering from hunger for some time, and many people in the village had died due to lack of food. Now, they finally saw the dawn of hope.
The old man felt his body relax, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. He knew that he was exhausted due to long-term malnutrition, but at this moment he felt as if he had regained his vitality. Could it be that the medicine given by the benefactor worked? The old man didn't think about it, but silently thanked the benefactor for his kindness.
"Guihua, we have to go back quickly." The old man ordered, "Hide the food and don't let anyone see it." His words were full of caution and care, for he was afraid that this hard-earned hope would be taken away.
Guihua nodded and carefully helped the old man walk home. Their hearts were filled with gratitude and hope, and they cherished this hard-earned life even more. The two returned home, which was a shabby little house with some broken tiles on the roof and traces of time on the walls. But even so, this little house was the only safe haven for Guihua and the old man.
Guihua helped the old man sit on the bed, and then carefully hid the bag of sorghum flour in a hidden corner under the bed. She wrapped the grain tightly with a few pieces of rags, fearing that a slight breeze would blow away this hard-earned hope.
The old man looked at Guihua's actions with his eyes full of satisfaction and pride. He knew that although Guihua was young, she was sensible and distressing. During this period of time, she not only had to take care of the elderly and frail man, but also had to run around for survival.
"Guihua, you've worked hard." The old man said softly, his voice full of endless emotion and care, "If it weren't for you, my old bones would have collapsed long ago."
Upon hearing this, Guihua quickly shook her head, with a determined light in her eyes: "Grandpa, don't say that. We are a family, and I will always take care of you." Her words were full of determination and persistence, as if no matter how great the difficulties were, she would protect this home without hesitation.
At this moment, the horseman who offered them a helping hand, Lin Kunlun, did not know the situation of the grandparents. He rode his horse and continued to move forward, but he was also thinking about the scene just now. He was not a person who was easily moved, but today he felt deep sympathy and emotion for the grandparents. Maybe it was because he saw the tenacity and desire in the little girl's eyes, or maybe it was because he felt the old man's love and dependence on his granddaughter. In any case, he felt that he had made the right choice.
Lin Kunlun certainly didn't know that his act of kindness was a ray of hope in the lives of the grandparents and grandchildren. They were grateful to him, respected him, and regarded him as a benefactor in their lives. And he would continue to move forward in the days to come, using his own strength to change the fate of more people.
Soon, Lin Kunlun arrived at the county town on horseback. He knew that Sun Ying's main sphere of influence was concentrated in the civilian residential areas in the south. He walked carefully in the county town with his horse, fearing to cause unnecessary trouble. Soon, he came to Sun Ying's base camp - a hotel with a casino on the first floor and a restaurant above. He stood at the door, took a deep breath, and then stepped in. He knew the next road. It can be said that there is no turning back. Sun Ying and his people were able to build a family business from an ordinary person. It is definitely not simple. It is not easy to get information about food from them.
Lin Kunlun tied the horse to the side, on a stone pillar specially used for tying horses, and walked inside.
"It's a very objective derivative! What are you doing in our Xiaoyao Tower?" Several people standing at the door asked as soon as they saw Lin Kunlun.
"I'm here to see your boss Sun! I've made an appointment with your boss Sun Ying to come today! You can let him know that Lin Kunlun is here to see him!" Lin Kunren has a natural aura of a superior. That's the aura he has cultivated as the leader of a business empire in modern society and the one that has dominated the fate of many listed companies.
He stood there with a confident look on his face. The thugs could not guess his identity and were afraid of offending Sun Ying's distinguished guest.
"Please sit in the lounge next to us! I will inform our boss right away!" One of the thugs standing at the door immediately and respectfully asked Lin Kunlun to sit in the lounge next to him.
Lin Kunlun didn't expect that the lounge here was quite well-equipped, with cakes and tea on the table. It seemed to be used to entertain some distinguished guests. There was a reason why Sun Ying was able to make the casino business so big.
The lobby on the first floor of this casino should be used by ordinary gamblers for gambling. The upper floors should be where the VIPs gamble and relax. This setting is very similar to the high-end clubs in modern society. The difference is that this casino is completely open. Many of those high-end clubs are secretive.
Lin Kunlun was not in a hurry, but picked up a cup of tea and tasted it gently. After taking a sip, this tea was not a good tea, but a kind of smoked tea unique to the southwest region. This kind of tea is very suitable for refreshing, and the taste of tea is particularly strong.
