Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

It was as if the animals were holding a meeting, or as if the animals were driving away the humans who entered their homes. Perhaps animals have a natural keen sense and know that a natural disaster has come, and they need to protect their homes and not let others enter.

Wang Shiyu tied herself to the tree trunk and silently looked at the bright stars in the sky. She wondered what had happened to Yunshan Town. After the meteorite fell at that time, were there still meteorites falling now?

Originally, Wang Shiyu wanted to collect some of these fireballs falling from the sky, but because she was too young, her family would not allow her to go out on her own. Even her old man refused her request.

At that time, everything was based on the safety of her family, so she could only think about it. The stone ball was huge and would not be smashed or destroyed. When she was older, she would go back to look for those meteorites. As far as she knew, the landing of meteorites usually brought not only disasters, but also opportunities.

After being baked at high temperature, various rare metals will be formed inside the fireball. This is what Wang Shiyu wants, because when she was abroad before, she robbed many laboratories, and took away all the equipment and even the information inside.

Among them, there are several research institutes that study meteorites, and they have also discovered a lot of rare metals, all of which need to be extracted from meteorites. He really needs them, not only to build extracorporeal robotic arms, but also to build some sharp and stable weapons.

Especially when making hidden weapons, these things are non-renewable materials, so Wang Shiyu is really greedy for those meteorites.

He slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep. At night in the mountains and forests, he could always hear one or two wolves howling. After all, there was a shortage of water and food. Sometimes they could also see the corpses of some wild animals in the mountains.

Almost all of them were skin and bones, and they either died of thirst or starvation. No one touched these corpses, and they even avoided them to prevent them from suddenly exploding due to external forces. They were even more afraid that these corpses had been dead for a long time and were carrying the plague.

The next morning, they roasted some dried meat and ate it before continuing on their journey. As they walked through the mountains and forests, the sunlight was not as fierce and could be blocked by the trees. They could also walk more distance during the day.

The old man followed grandma on his left and held Wang Shiyu on his right. He did not allow Wang Shiyu and Xiaoyi to leave his sight, so even when the family walked, they did not fall far behind. They always walked on the old man's side, in case they were too late to rescue him if something happened. It was like this in the woods. The danger on the road came from humans themselves, and the danger in the woods came from those hungry beasts.

"Xiao Yu, let's eat something cold at noon. It's too hot this day. Take some silver and buy more. Give your brother less. Don't let him get an upset stomach."

A few days ago, Wang Shiyu couldn't stand the heat, so she took out some ice cream from the space and distributed it to everyone, instantly winning their hearts.

He has been thinking about eating ice cream again these past two days. The old man is no longer curious about the strange things that Wang Shiyu can take out at any time, because Wang Shiyu has told him the origin of this thing before.

In fact, it was just a fabrication. She told the old man that she experienced a meteorite landing a month ago, but for some reason, she was suddenly reborn in the time before the meteorite landed. This strange place appeared in her mind inexplicably. There were not only all kinds of delicious food, but also many weapons.

They were all things she had never seen before. She took out a pistol and gave it to the old man. The old man studied it for a long time before he understood how to use it. After using it, the old man realized that this thing was simply a magical weapon and was completely out of place in this dynasty.

Looking at these strange weapons with great destructive power, the old man wondered in his heart whether these things could help him kill the family in Jinling City. Not only could they kill that family, but they could also directly change the dynasty.

The old man picked and chose when he told his family about this matter. He didn't say how many things were in Wang Shiyu's space, or how many things there were. If you want anything, you need to exchange it with money, otherwise it will consume the luck of the whole family.

However, he got a large sum of money some time ago, which could support them to go to the south. But this matter cannot be told to others, otherwise, not only will they lose all their money, but even their families will suffer disaster.

Family members may not care about the fate of others, but they cherish their own family members very much, so they will naturally keep the matter to themselves. In addition, the things Wang Shiyu took out were relatively expensive, so they naturally didn’t have any other ideas and just wanted to get through this damn disaster as soon as possible.

In addition, because Wang Shiyu helped her family survive the meteorite disaster, the whole family thought that it was a warning from God to save them, and no one thought about it too much.

Moreover, every time they asked Wang Shiyu some questions, Wang Shiyu was able to answer fluently without any stuttering, so no one thought that Wang Shiyu had changed her mind.

Ever since Wang Shiyu gave up completely and let everyone know about that magical place, the old man also told everyone that one has to pay silver to exchange for the food inside, and it is very expensive. So the family was reluctant to let Wang Shiyu take the food inside, and would only let Wang Shiyu take the silver to buy those things when they were very greedy or couldn't hold on any longer.

Wang Shiyu listened to the old man very much and directly used the silver to exchange for those delicious foods. Because she didn't know how to price them, every time she took them out, the old man would give her a price, and then Wang Shiyu would take things out from the old man's treasures and put them into her own private vault.

Wang Shiyu didn't think that she had taken advantage of the old man, or the Wang family. If it weren't for her, all the people in the Wang family would have died in the first wave of meteorite showers. She had the right to take the money.

Moreover, the old man felt that it was their luck to be able to buy these exotic foods with silver. They believed that Wang Shiyu was favored by God and could do business with that magical place, and that God could lend them a place to temporarily store some things. They were already very grateful to God, and naturally did not dare to make any other requests.

Sweet potatoes actually existed in this era, but no one took it seriously. They just grew some and fed them to pigs, thinking that they were inedible. Wang Shiyu studied it for a while and found that they might have eaten yam in the past, and eating too much yam would cause mild poisoning. As for sweet potatoes, they naturally did not dare to try them anymore, and instead fed them directly to livestock.

There are no foreign foods such as potatoes and peppers here, not even peanuts, because little Wang Shiyu has no memory of these things in his mind. Instead, after the old man had eaten the things in his space these days, he asked what these things were, and Wang Shiyu explained them to them bit by bit.

We gradually figured it out. This era seemed to be similar to the Ming Dynasty. There were actually a lot of imported goods, but they had never been taken seriously. People believed that if these things were eaten casually, people might be poisoned and die.

After all, they had experienced this before. Wang Shiyu didn't care about that. She took out the sweet potatoes she had roasted when she had nothing to do and shared them with everyone. The old man ate the sweet potatoes and felt very full.

The old man was delighted. If this thing could be popularized, then they in Dazhou Dynasty would definitely let those people who died of starvation survive. Now one acre of land can only produce 100 to 200 kilograms of grain. The heavy taxes and labor service on them make them unable to eat enough and wear clothes. If every household can grow more sweet potatoes to save their lives, then basically no one will starve to death.

The old man gnawed the sweet potato slowly, not even leaving the skin behind. Instead, he put it into his mouth, chewed it until it was soft, and swallowed it.

"Xiao Yu, you said this thing is called sweet potato? Is it an imported product, the root-like thing that we used to feed pigs at home? It's so sweet, and after eating one, even my stomach feels half full, and I don't feel hungry anymore."

Wang Shiyu was also biting a sweet potato and eating it slowly. You can't eat too much, as it will cause heartburn.

The old man doesn’t care whether it causes heartburn or not, as long as this thing can fill his stomach, it’s a good thing.

"Yes, Grandpa, I collected all the sweet potatoes that we used to feed the pigs. They are the sweet potatoes that we stored in the warehouse."

Today's sweet potatoes have not been improved, and the fiber fibers inside can fill your teeth. But the old man thinks it is very good. He can have something to eat, no longer have to flee famine, and be free from the suffering of displacement. Isn't this a blessing?

"I understand. You keep some, and when we get to the south we'll plant some to see what it's like. If the harvest is good, we'll plant more. After paying the taxes, there will still be a lot of food left."

The old man has been farming all his life, so naturally he has a deep love for the land. He doesn't care at all about his identity as the prince of a royal palace. Could it be that after living half his life in such a leisurely manner, he no longer cares about the glorious and wealthy days in the past?

The palace was really bustling at that time. The second prince and his wife once again knelt in front of the imperial study, asking the emperor to make the decision for him.

"Father, the Crown Prince is tyrannical and cruel by nature. He actually gave me a sterilizing drug, causing all of my concubines and children to lose their fertility."

"How can such a cruel person be the crown prince? How can we hand over this country to him?"

"Father, please make the decision. Depose the crown prince, hand over the antidote, and make the decision for your son."

The Second Prince became depressed because he had lost his fertility. The Second Prince's wife followed him in a daze and knelt in front of the imperial study. She could not believe that she had lost her fertility and that her husband was also infertile like her.

This morning, the imperial physician went to the mansion to check on the patient's pulse, but he was silenced. After examining all the women and children in the mansion one by one, he said tremblingly that everyone in the mansion had been drugged, a drug that would harm their offspring, and there was no way to save them now. They could only hope that the person who drugged them had an antidote.

The second prince smashed almost all the porcelain in the mansion. He originally thought that it was the work of the women in the mansion competing for favor. However, when he brought the child raised outside back home, he found that the child was also infected with Chinese medicine. Then he looked at the prince with suspicion and firmly believed that it was the prince who did it.

The Second Prince's wife, who was originally frightened, was not so frightened now. At this time, she was holding a handkerchief to mourn her dead child. She had no biological children in her life, and could only adopt the descendants of the clan in the future. Who knew if she could raise the child well?

The second prince still hopes that the crown prince has the antidote, and tries to use the emperor to pressure the crown prince to hand over the antidote.

The emperor looked at his second son who was crying bitterly, and then looked at the crown prince with some shock. He knew that the crown prince seemed to have changed a lot since the death of his legitimate children, but he did not expect that he would be so cruel to his younger brother.

Then is his father, the emperor who has done nothing, also on his revenge list?

You have to know that he knew that the Queen had bad intentions, but he still ordered the Crown Princess to hand over the child. As a result, the child died in the imperial garden. He cannot shirk his responsibility at all.

The Crown Prince looked at the Second Prince with disdain. He was a prince without an heir, who would never have the chance to ascend to the throne in his lifetime. He couldn't even reach the edge. He could only become a marginal figure, slowly forgotten by history.

This is the punishment that the Second Prince deserves. No matter how many more years the Dazhou Dynasty can continue, he, the Second Prince, will never be remembered in history books. Instead, his existence will be erased from history books because he has brought shame to the royal family.

"Second brother, you should provide evidence when you speak. I admit that I have taken a lot of blame for you since you left the palace and established your own residence. Your first job as an adult was to investigate a case in Jiangnan, but you delayed the work because of excessive entertainment. I sent people to find out the truth urgently and gave you a chance. Otherwise, with your habit of eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and being arrogant, how could you have lived well until now? Now you dare to accuse me, you are really bold, and I am too tolerant of you brothers."

"Who said that?" I don't know that your house is a mess and all kinds of monsters and demons are running rampant there. How dare you say that I did something to you?

After the prince finished speaking, he left angrily. The emperor began to doubt the truthfulness of the second prince's words. You know, the prince was kind, which was exactly what the emperor liked. He was suspicious by nature, but the prince was very much like the deceased empress, with the same temperament, warm and kind.

The emperor still believed in the teachings of Empress Yuan, and the prince would not be so harsh on his brothers, so it must be that the second brother did something wrong, and now he wants to put the blame on the prince.
