Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

Wang Shiyu quietly took out a dagger from the space and put it into the old man's hand. They had left the machete behind because they were going into the city, and the machete was a little awkward to use.

Moreover, once they entered the city, they would be searched, as weapons were not allowed to be brought into the city. Once their weapons were searched, they would not be returned. Wouldn't it be a waste if the weapons were not returned? So the old man didn't bring any with him, and gave them to his sons to take.

The old man was originally holding Wang Shiyu's hand, and suddenly he felt a hard object stuffed into his hand. He looked down and found it was a crude dagger, which he had bought in a hurry in another town. The dagger looked rough on the outside, but the inside was sharp.

The old man took the dagger and put it directly on his waist. He calmly looked at the two sneaky people behind him. Wang Shiyu didn't want to cause trouble for the old man, so she quietly pointed in the direction of the big tree in front. The tree was really big.

The old man looked up at the place. It would take three adults to hug the tree together, so it could completely block the child. He thought his granddaughter would have other ways to deal with the situation. So he nodded. When Wang Shiyu saw the old man nod, she spread her legs and ran forward until she hid behind the tree.

The old man silently took off the water bag from his waist, and put down the steamed buns and corn bread in his hand on a higher ground to avoid being affected and inedible. These were things bought with money and could not be wasted. He could easily deal with two small pieces of crumbs with just a stretch of his hand.

"You two have been following me for so long, what can I do for you?"

The old man turned his head and looked at the two people hiding behind the tree. It was so unbearable to look at them. They were so stupid. At least they could move back a little so that they could hide less obviously.

The two people following behind them looked at each other, and one of them, holding a wooden stick in his hand, looked at the brave old man in front of him.

"Give me the food, drinks and money you have on you, and give me your travel permit."

He waved the stick vigorously, looking very powerful.

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do. This world is so unforgivable that I can only trouble you to hand over the things."

The two men looked at the old man, but did not take him seriously. Instead, they spoke in a slightly frivolous tone. The two men were probably in their twenties or thirties, and were in their prime physical condition.

In their eyes, an old man and a child are the most suitable targets for robbery, because one is old and weak, and the other is young and weak.

The old man silently rolled his eyes at the two of them. They were just useless. There was no sign of them having practiced martial arts. They just relied on their bravery. Their arms and legs were not as nimble as his own wife. It was estimated that they were not working people in the past.

"Since the world won't let you live, why don't you fight against the world? Why do you come to rob me? You have grown up in vain."

The old man said sarcastically, "You are so old, don't you know how to do some work to support yourself?" When he entered the city, he saw several places recruiting people. Although it takes some effort, the money is real. If you have good hands and feet, you can do anything.

"Bah! You old man, I'm giving you face but you're shameless. Do we have any other way to come out and rob? We don't have a pass, so we can't enter the city at all. If we enter the city, we will be driven out. Do you think we want to do this?"

"Without a travel permit, we can't even find a job. Even if it's just a strenuous job like carrying a heavy bag, we still need a travel permit to apply. Otherwise, those people who are too picky will not let us migrants work at all."

Who would be willing to do such a thing that could cost them their lives? But the only requirement in Chuncheng is that you must have a pass to enter Chuncheng, otherwise you are not allowed to enter Chuncheng.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to target the father and son, because they saw the two men holding passes through the city, so they were sure that the two men had passes.

When the time comes, they can wet it with some water and make some random changes. They can always get away with it since it’s such a mess now.

Everyone outside the city was staring at those who entered the city. If possible, they would really go up and snatch the passes in their hands. Even if they couldn't use them, they still wanted to fight for that glimmer of hope.

Wang Shiyu was listening to their conversation behind a tree, and her horizons were broadened. Who told you not to clear the way when you escaped? How can you be so justified in robbing other people's things?

If they had not cleared the way and led the people out in time, all of them would have been trapped deep in Yunshan Town. They were walking on the road at that time, but they heard that after they left, all towns and villages would not be allowed to issue passes to the outside world. Once a pass was issued, the officials would be punished.

It's funny to say. There were natural disasters and man-made disasters at that time. All the food was burned by fireballs. There was no water and no food, but they were forced to stay at home. They really didn't take the lives of the people seriously.

Yunshan Town was under the jurisdiction of King Cheng at that time. It was his fiefdom. Not long after they left Yunshan Town, all towns and villages were not allowed to distribute travel passes anymore.

This also led to the situation that those who wanted to leave their hometown later on did not have a pass in their hands, and if they wanted to leave, they could only do so as refugees.

But seeing that these people arrived in Chuncheng so early, they must have left their hometown before them. At that time, they could have gone to the government office to get a pass. Today, these people did not go to get one, and now they even dare to rob other people's passes.

The two men didn't want to waste time talking to the old man anymore, so they just swung their wooden sticks at him. The old man was a martial artist as expected, and he stepped back to avoid the blows. He kicked the two men in the chest with the sticks, and kicked them down the mountain one by one. If there were no trees blocking them, the two men would probably have rolled even further.

The two men were also like scum. Before the old man could really put in any effort, the two men ran away with their sticks in their hands without even looking back.

Originally, Wang Shiyu thought that she should hide in the space and not cause trouble for the old man, but she really didn't expect that this guy was such a weakling in fighting and was really able to judge the situation.

Wang Shiyu walked out from behind the tree, came in front of the old man, stretched her head to look in the direction where the two men were running away. Her posture was very skillful, probably because she had done it many times. If she could beat them, she would fight, and if she couldn't, she would just run away.

After the two people ran away, the old man picked up the water bag and dry food on the ground, and carefully observed whether there was anyone following him. After finding that no one was following them, he took his granddaughter directly back to where they were resting temporarily. When they came back, the man had not woken up yet, but they didn't care and put the secret guard aside.

When the old man came back, he distributed the steamed buns and corn bread in his hand to everyone. Wang Shiyu also took out some grilled meat and dried meat, which were all collected by Wang Shiyu from those farms. They were all naturally raised pigs, and the dried meat was made by baking with fruit charcoal.

Wang Shiyu had just made barbecue in the space with a baking tray. Using a baking pan and a gas stove, it baked very quickly. If it was slower, the pan would be burnt. Wang Shiyu was baking in a hurry. Although there was a generator in the space, she had not figured out how to use it.

He took out another portion of blanched vegetables and poured some prepared garlic sauce on it, so that a meal with both meat and vegetables would be ready. The main thing was that the weather was too hot, and it would take the Zhang family two days to reach Chuncheng. They had to stay in this mountain for two days. After the Zhang family members arrived and confirmed the identity of the secret guard with the Zhang family, they would leave.

If he left immediately, then the man's rescue would have been in vain. Wang Yizu stepped forward, pried open the man's mouth, and began to feed him rice porridge, which had been cooked earlier. He could just feed him the porridge when the time came. This way, he would not starve to death. He would not save the man with great effort, only to have him starve to death in the end.

Because it was boring to wait on the mountain, the old man took Wang Yixian and the money to the county town. In order to better support each other, the old man went to the city alone to buy things and carried them out directly. Then the two of them went into the mountain together. In this way, Wang Yixian could hold their weapons outside and would not be killed by the guards at the door.

The old man went down the mountain these two days, so Wang Shiyu did not go to play with them. Instead, she walked a few steps deeper into the mountains and got a bathtub there. After she and her grandmother took a bath, she asked her mother and second aunt to take a bath as well.

Since there is water in Chuncheng, it is not excessive for them to take a bath. After the old man brought his son into the city, Wang Shiyu arranged for a bath. He did not take shower gel or shampoo, but took out a piece of pure handmade soap of this era, which is the sister-in-law soap.

The soap was made by people of this era. She could take out a lot of food and daily necessities, but she couldn't take those with production dates on them. Even if she did, she had to exchange the packaging for other ones. The most important thing was that modern shower gels and shampoos contained too many preservatives and the like.

And the fragrance is too strong. It's okay for them to use it in the mountains, but they have to go out and meet people recently, so they'd better be honest, take out the soap and take a shower directly when they come out. Don't say that the soap at this time may not have much fragrance, but it is very dusty.

She took out a bath towel and rubbed the dust off her body frantically. The dust on her body turned into mud strips. Grandma had never seen a bath towel that could rub off mud directly. It was very easy to use. She also helped Wang Shiyu rub her back and buttocks clean. After scrubbing, she felt like she had lost two pounds.

After scrubbing her body, she washed her hair, feeling refreshed. However, the sun was too strong and she was sweating all over again. After Wang Shiyu finished, she took out three large wooden buckets of clean water and asked her grandmother, second aunt and mother to wash together. Second uncle stood at a distance and watched them to prevent anyone from coming over suddenly.

The three women quickly rubbed each other's hands, rinsed themselves and washed their hair. After their feet were dry, they put on clean clothes and walked down slowly. The second uncle had been watching them take a bath for a long time, and he was very envious.

Wang Shiyu walked over, poured the dirty water onto the ground, and filled a full bath tub for her second uncle. She also took out a wooden basin for her second uncle to wash his hair. Men take baths faster than women, and they even rub their hair faster.

Before Wang Shiyu could recover from the shock, his second uncle had already come down from the mountain clean and tidy. His second aunt was speechless because she was helping him with his back massage.

If you ask him if his second uncle has taken a shower, he certainly has, but it seems that he hasn't. He rubbed his whole body quickly and then rinsed it with water. He didn't dare to soak in the water in the wooden bucket for a while.

"Don't waste water like that. When your grandfather and your father come back later, they can use that water to wash themselves. In this weather, no matter how clean you wash, it will get dirty in a short while. Just rinse it."

The women ignored him and helped each other comb their hair, and then wrapped their hair with headscarves. Mo Ruru waited until her daughter's hair was dry, and then tied Wang Shiyu's hair into two buns again. Second Aunt took Wang Shiyi directly to the mountains to take a bath and wash her hair.

Not long after taking a bath, the old man came back with his eldest son. After grandpa came back, Wang Shiyu hurried into the forest to change the water in the bucket. As a result, she saw that there was still half a bucket of water in the wooden bucket that the second uncle used to take a bath. It was estimated that the second uncle did not want to use soap when taking a bath, but just rubbed it with a bath towel.

In fact, their idea of ​​saving water is correct, but girls are more troublesome than boys. They fill up half a bucket of water, take out another bathtub, fill it with water, and go directly to the place where everyone is resting.

After the whole family took a bath, they gathered together for a meal, feeling clean and refreshed. Only then did they realize that the prisoner team would arrive two days late because of a riot by refugees.

So the old man specifically inquired about the situation of the prisoner team. Later he found out that the prisoners were not injured at all. Instead, the rioting refugees were forced back by the police and prisoners with knives, and even hundreds of refugees were hacked to death.

Wang Shiyu held the slightly yellow steamed bun and ate it quietly without saying a word. It was normal for refugees to riot. In the extreme situation of no water and no food, it was easy to have evil thoughts.

If he succeeded, he would survive. If he failed, he could still help one or two people exercise, so his death would not be in vain. However, Wang Shiyu felt that since he had chosen to be a refugee, he would have to bear all the consequences himself.

However, this team should be in a much better situation after they arrive safely in Chuncheng. There is water in the city, and there is a Chuncheng porridge stall at the door. This will allow many people to stay in Chuncheng directly. They will only have half a bowl of porridge a day, which is not enough to fill them up, but they will not starve to death. They should not continue to follow the prisoners' team forward.
