Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Those who were standing there waiting for the rain felt lost in an instant, and then quickened their pace to catch up with the team in front.

Tired from walking, Wang Shiyu climbed into the car and rested for a while, but she did not sleep. Instead, she closed her eyes, returned to her consciousness and started making rice balls.

I made several kinds of condiments, including fried eggs, ham, bacon, roasted pork belly, and braised meat. In order to let the family eat more, I kneaded the rice in a large rice cabinet into small balls.

You have to know that this is a lunch cabinet in a shopping mall that specializes in boxed lunches. She collected rice from at least a dozen lunch cabinets.

There was no electricity in the space, so they could only use firewood or coal stoves. Wang Shiyu thought it was too much trouble, so she never started a fire and used the things she had "robbed" before.

The old man saw that there was no sign of rain that day and it seemed like it would not stop at all. Besides, they needed to follow their uncle and others to Qiong Island. Although Qiong Island was located in a remote area and the land was barren, it could produce three harvests a year, so it was considered a good place.

In fact, the old man was just comforting himself. If Qiongdao was really a good place, then how could the people there exile those criminals there?

This is enough to prove that the environment there is not good at all. There are many poisonous obstacles, and there are countless snakes, insects, rats and ants. It is almost a barren land.

But no matter how far it is, it is still the territory of the Dazhou Dynasty, so people need to go there to live and grow crops to prove that this is the territory of the Dazhou Dynasty.

Wang Shiyu thought that Qiong Island should be the legendary place in Hainan, where the harvest was not good.

Most of the land is saline-alkali, and there is only a small piece of land for growing crops. People basically rely on fishing for a living.

But if you go fishing, you can't get a good price there. Who doesn't go to the sea to catch a few fish? When the tide goes out, people will go to the sea to catch more fish. Basically no one eats seafood because it has no oil or water.

Some of them walked one after another until midnight, and only stopped when the torches were about to go out, relit the bonfire, and started cooking and resting.

The old man did not go to deliver things to the Zhang family that night. After all, they had just come out of Mo City, and they still had a lot of things and were not short of food and drink. Zhang Tao did not get up and go into the woods either.

He originally planned to bring the Wang family to his side and travel together, but he felt embarrassed that his son only brought back such a small amount of things.

These few things cost him more than ten thousand taels of silver. Now he has nothing else on him except some silver notes.

Watching my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law making a fire and cooking, I found that the rice they took down from the car was all stale and broken rice, without any good rice at all.

Zhang Tao closed his eyes silently. After all, people leave and the tea gets cold to him. Even though he had already made arrangements and had someone in Mo City to pick him up, there were still people who pretended to obey but actually disobeyed.

They even didn't take their previous arrangements seriously. He thought all the way that maybe he had entrusted his work to the wrong person, or he was too nice to these people, so nice that they no longer cared about his attitude.

Today, grandpa also took out a clay pot and cooked a pot of porridge. He used the good rice he just bought today, and then took out the dried vegetables that had been dried last fall and put them directly into the porridge. He cooked a pot of vegetable porridge, sprinkled a little salt, and served a bowl to each person, who drank a sip of the hot porridge.

Although the weather is very hot now, it is not a good idea to drink cold water all the time. Today, when I just came out of the city, I took out a bucket of spring water prepared by the old man.

My mother and my second aunt boiled the water, and then poured it into empty water bags and bamboo tubes. It only took three times to boil a bucket of water.

The boiled water looked like a lot, but it was gone in just two days. People around watched the family boil water, with inexplicable light flashing in their eyes.

After boiling the water, the old man took up most of it, walked directly to the Zhang family in front, gave it to Zhang Tao, and asked him to accept it.

The people around watched him hand the water directly to the prisoner in front, and instantly moved away from this family. These people were all criminals, and even if they had made great contributions in the past, they couldn't get too close to them now.

Nowadays, those who dare to get close to the prisoners are not good people. In fact, the old man did this on purpose, deliberately trying to have less relationship with the prisoners in front.

These days, the old man has been looking at the people behind him and has been wondering in his heart. These days, people around him have been staring at their family’s belongings and carts, and have even started pointing and talking.

The old man didn't care about their pointing and criticizing at all. These were the people he wanted, and he would never dare to act rashly against them again. He had seen these people's restlessness in the past two days, and he was anxious. While walking in the afternoon, he discussed it with Xiaoyu and made this decision. It was just in time to support Zhang Tao with some supplies and get his family out of some trouble.

If it weren't for his uncle's house, he really wanted to take his family directly through the small path. Although there was a possibility of encountering bandits or robbers, it was still safer than a sudden riot.

Now that they have everything to eat and drink, they will naturally attract some people's attention. Seeing the old man's actions, the family members pretended not to see it. Even if they are related to the prisoners, it is better than being robbed by these people.

After all, they were not as numerous as those who had migrated with their entire families, and she could not use modern weapons. She could only shoot them directly.

Ever since delivering water to the Zhang family that day, their family has become less noticeable, and the servants walking behind them would subconsciously take care of them.

This made the people behind them cautious and they no longer dared to openly look at the things on them or the women in the team.

There were fewer eyes on them, which made them feel relieved. The food they ate every day was better than before. For example, tonight they had white flour buns with fried eggs and had a delicious meal.

At night, everyone except those who were on night watch went to bed early. At this time, two figures slowly approached the Wang family's cart.

The old man who was on guard was a little drowsy due to fatigue during this period, but Wang Shiyu suddenly felt uneasy and opened her eyes wide.

He sat up suddenly and saw two figures moving towards their cart, and started shouting loudly.

"Who are you and what are you doing? Grandpa, Dad, Second Uncle, there is a thief, catch him quickly."

As Wang Shiyu spoke, the sleepy old man picked up the stick beside him and swung it out. The two sleeping brothers suddenly opened their eyes, walked to the cart, pulled out two sticks, leaned against the old man, and looked at the two obvious figures again.

After hearing Wang Shiyu's shout, the two men ran back without stopping. The old man swung his stick, but missed. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the two men running away, and looked at his granddaughter who had just shouted.

"It's okay, Xiaoyu, go to sleep."

Wang Shiyu nodded, looked at the people around him who were awakened by his calls, slowly lay down and closed his eyes. The two brothers who were frightened couldn't fall asleep.

In order to walk more tomorrow, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep. The old man was so frightened that he didn't dare to look around in a daze even though he was physically tired.

After sleeping for a while, his father woke up and let the old man go to rest. Wang Yixian began to keep watch.

Mo Ru Ru woke up when Wang Yixian woke up. She sat up immediately and told her husband to go to rest first. It was okay for her to stay up all night.

Wang Yixuan just didn't sleep well, so he listened to his wife and went back to sleep, because when the second child got up later, Zhou Guichun would definitely not let him see him.

When it was dawn, those who were asleep got up and started cooking and eating, preparing to set off. Because they were too close to the Zhang family's team, some space was left vacant for the people behind them.

The second aunt who was on watch took advantage of the fact that everyone was still asleep and reignited the fire that was about to go out, took out the ceramic pot and started to cook rice porridge. Today she cooked white rice porridge because she found some bacon that she had fried at home under the felt cloth, so she cooked some white rice porridge and ate it with steamed corn bread.

When she woke up last night, she stuffed some bacon under the felt cloth. The bacon that Zhou Guichun used to keep watch at night was secretly stuffed into the steamed buns. They could eat a little better, but they were absolutely not allowed to eat meat.

When everyone woke up groggy in the morning and started to eat, they were pleasantly surprised to find that there was bacon in the steamed buns.

In the past ten days, except for buying some braised meat when I was in Melbourne, I had almost no smell of oil when eating it. As soon as I took a bite of the bacon, I instantly felt it was so fragrant.

The people behind them were worried about the smell of bacon, so they ate up the steamed buns in their hands after smelling them in a few bites. The steamed buns, which were originally a bit irritating to the throat, tasted delicious when paired with bacon.

After breakfast, there is no way to wash the ceramic pot. I can only rinse it with a little water to prevent dirt from sticking to the bottom.

Just stuff the pot under the felt cloth. Just stuff the pot under the felt cloth. When Wang Shiyu gets in the car to rest, she will take it to the space to clean it. When she uses it next time, although the outside looks dirty, the inside is definitely clean.

They only had two meals yesterday. They ate bacon yesterday. In the evening, Wang Shiyu secretly cooked a lot of eggs in the space. After peeling the eggs, she put them in a special jar.

After they had walked for a whole morning, Moruru opened the divination box and found a jar of boiled eggs inside.

She felt that she was not fleeing from famine but was on a spring outing. If her family ate all the eggs, they would probably choke to death, so she left two eggs for each person and put the rest in separate jars and gave them to the old man to deal with.

I guess he took out so many eggs to nourish the people in front. The old man really wanted to nourish the people in front, but he couldn't give them meat for fear of being discovered.

That's why Wang Shiyu got some eggs and put them there, and the old man went to Zhang's house with half a jar of eggs.

I don't know what they said over there. The old man went there with a can, and then came back with an empty can and a bundle.

The old man opened the bundle and took a look. There was half a can of animal oil in it, so they could secretly eat some fragrant food and use the animal oil to eat.

There were also two small pieces of bacon, about the size of Wang Shiyu's palm, but they were also very valuable. He still had a lot of fat meat collected from abroad in his space. It was said that the fat meat in those farms was all fed with pure grain.

And it should taste better than these untreated pork. Now with this half jar of lard and these two pieces of bacon, he actually has a reason to take out some bacon and lard.

This is actually very good, at least the food has a source, and later on, it can directly use the Zhang family and say that the food was sent by the Zhang family.

Put these things under the felt cloth first, and eat the remaining eggs, two each, in one bite, because there is nothing delicious to eat now. Even if they eat an egg, someone in their family can smell the taste.

But no one dared to approach them, because they had a relationship with the prisoners in front, and most importantly, they did not dare to offend the officers in front.

The old man knew that it was the best thing the Zhang family could offer.

In modern times, Wang Shiyu can hardly take out any food except what she collects in Chinatown. After all, it does not belong to this world.

They are all foreign food, mostly Western food and some sashimi. Our stomachs can’t handle these weird things, so we have to find a way to cook them.

Wang Shiyu was still trying to find a way to prepare some nutritional supplements for her family, but her second aunt's younger brother Xiaoyi started to have a high fever.

The weather has been hot these two days. Xiaoyi wanted to stay cool during the night rest, so she put her hands and feet on the ground instead of on the mat.

Even though the weather is hot now, it is still a little chilly at night. Xiaoyi was craving for the coolness, but his body couldn't bear it. You know, even when he was sitting in the car, he was lying under a frame supported by felt cloth.

Even with the felt to keep him cool, his body couldn't stand the alternation of hot and cold, so Xiaoyi had a high fever. No one noticed Xiaoyi's condition at first, until Second Aunt suddenly noticed that Xiaoyi was silent, so she went over to check and found that Xiaoyi's face was red.

Second Aunt was so anxious that she burst into tears. How could she find a doctor in this place where there was no village or shop? There was not even a barefoot doctor on the road.

When Wang Shiyu heard Second Aunt say that Xiaoyi had a fever, she directly found the children's antipyretic medicine she had stockpiled in the space, dissolved the medicine with the lid of the bamboo tube, and fed it directly to Xiaoyi. Second Aunt didn't know what Xiaoyu fed her son, but seeing that no one stopped him, she pretended not to see it.

Logically speaking, Xiaoyi has never taken modern medicine, so she should recover quickly since there are no antibodies in her body.
