After the young man got the food, he carried it on his shoulders and left happily.

And the people around saw that the young man really got so much food, and immediately came to confidence.

"Little girl, do you still need stones? If we want, we'll move now. A slightly older man walked over and asked.

"Yes, but because you are not the first to move stones, you can only exchange them for food and water that weigh as much as stones." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"If you move as many stones as you want, you can exchange for as much food and water, right? Are there any restrictions? The man asked again.

"No, as much as you want, the more the merrier, and there is plenty of food and water, so you can move it with confidence." Ji Ran said with a smile.

"Did you hear that? As long as the stones are moved, they can change the food and water and go to the stones together. At the man's call, the young man rushed towards the mountain.

Seeing everyone disperse in a hurry, Ji Ran and Liu Zhan looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that things were going much smoother than expected.

"Auntie, can I change the bread?" In the afternoon, an unkempt little girl with two dirty little hands came to Ji Ran with two stones weighing one or two catties.

She has been hungry for several days, about half a month ago his father went to the mountains to look for food, and has not come back, her mother also disappeared later, only the little girl was alone, she was hungry for a long time, but the people around her did not have extra food for her to eat, she was already hungry and almost unconscious, she heard that the stones could be exchanged for food, she searched for a long time in the surrounding mountains, and finally found two small stones and brought them back.

Ji Ran looked at the little girl's pitiful eyes, and her heart was about to break.

"Yes, of course." Ji Ran nodded and took the bread and milk to the little girl.

The little girl tore open the bread bag and ate it in a big gulp, she was so hungry, she hadn't eaten for many days, and when she ate the bread, her gobbling up looked like Ji Ran was startled.

"Eat slowly, eat slowly, if not enough." Ji Ran said to the little girl.

The little girl swallowed the bread with difficulty, then gulped a few sips of milk, and soon ate and drank the bread and milk she had exchanged.

"Are you still hungry?" Ji Ran looked at the little girl and asked.

The little girl nodded honestly.

"Here, eat some more, eat to your heart's content." Ji Ran gave the little girl another bread, but the little girl shook her head and did not reach out to take it.

"What's wrong?" Ji Ran asked strangely.

"Auntie, I won't ask for more things, I've eaten all the changes, and I'll change them when I find the stones." When the little girl finished speaking, she wiped her mouth and walked up the hill.

Ji Ran looked at the back of the little girl in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, although this child is still young, he has a tenacity that does not admit defeat, and when he grows up in the future, he must be a great girl.

Inspired by Ji Ran's food for stone, more and more people began to join in the action of collecting stone, and stone was transported every day, and even many new industries were born, such as logging, quarrying manufacturing, metallurgy and so on.

Pickaxes are needed to mine stone, so the metallurgical industry is needed to make quarrying picks.

The quarried stone needed to be transported, so it needed quarry trucks to transport it, and the quarrying trucks needed to be made of wood, so the logging industry gradually began to rise.

In addition, the express delivery industry also flourished in this narrow valley, and some women and children who could not quarry began to join the express delivery industry, and they delivered food and water to the homes of designated miners in truckloads, so as to obtain a certain amount of food and water to meet their own living needs.

Under Ji Ran's active coordination, the immigrants throughout the canyon were revitalized, and everywhere was full of vitality.

The political commissar of the People's Liberation Army, who is responsible for monitoring here, felt very strange to see Ji Ran coordinating the people here to participate in the work in an orderly manner.

Especially Ji Ran's seemingly inexhaustible food and water, which made them even more puzzled.

The road to the outside world has long been blocked, and it is impossible for any vehicles to enter, let alone air to come, how did she get her food and water?

The political commissar decided to send someone to investigate, but it didn't matter what happened, and there was really a problem.

It turns out that these foods and water are very problematic, because the packaging of these foods has no production date and manufacturer at all, and there is not even a security label, which is a serious three-no product.

Not to mention circulating such a product on the market, it is not even possible to sell it on the shelves.

However, Ji Ran is now using these three-no products to trick everyone into moving stones, and the political commissar feels that this matter cannot be left alone.

He must be responsible for the health and safety of the people, and must not allow anything that endangers the health of the people to happen.

So, in the afternoon of that day, Ji Ran was suddenly taken away by several PLA soldiers with loaded guns.

Ji Ran was held in a room, and soon after, the commissar came to the interrogation room with several officers.

"Ji Ran, right?" The commissar took off his military hat and put it on the table, it turned out that he was bald, with only a tuft of hair next to his ears.

"Yes, why did the chief arrest me? Am I doing something wrong? Ji Ran looked at the political commissar and asked.

"I didn't say what you did wrong, I just wanted to know, where did you get all that food and water? You've been sending out dozens of tons of food and water these days, where did you get it from? The political commissar asked straight to the point.

"What? Is there a problem with the food and water? Ji Ran looked at the political commissar and asked.

"Let's not talk about food and water, just answer me, where did you get all this food and water? Who provided it to you? The political commissar did not answer Ji Ran's question, and still clung to his question.

"My food and water are green and safe, I am eating myself, there is no problem at all, now there is a shortage of food and water, and you refuse to give them supplies, I will send some food and water to everyone, can't I?" Ji Ran looked at the political commissar and asked rhetorically.

"Miss Ji, I didn't discuss these issues, I just hope that you can cooperate and answer me where did I get my food and water?" The political commissar looked a little impatient, and looked at Ji Ran with a frown.

"I didn't do anything wrong, you don't have the right to interrogate me like this, I don't have to answer." Ji Ran also insisted on refusing to tell the truth, because the truth must be kept secret, and she was afraid that the military would be unfavorable to Xiaohan's sister.

"Don't you say yes? Okay, then you can reflect on it here, when you want to say it, and when you will let you go. After the political commissar finished speaking, he looked at the soldier beside him coldly, "Lock her up and guard her strictly." ”

"Yes, Chief!" The two PLA soldiers responded and escorted Ji Ran into a small black cell.
