Traveling through famine: The space peasant girl

After inquiring, Wang Shiyu learned that only Zhou Island, which is closest to Qiong Island, could be the Zhang family's temporary residence. However, to go from Qiong Island to Zhou Island, they need to hire a local boat. Wang Shiyu has no mood to go to that island, because from the environment of Qiong Island, it can be seen that Zhou Island is definitely not a good place.

Qiongdao looks vast and sparsely populated, but there are many exposed yellow and white lands, and some lands are covered with salt, which should be the so-called saline-alkali land.

Wang Shiyu lowered her head and rubbed the soil on the ground, then put a little into her mouth to taste it. It was very salty and bitter, and even had a fishy smell, the smell of blood. After spitting out the taste in her mouth, Wang Shiyu's eyes darkened.

This kind of place is okay for tourism, but if you stay here for a long time, you will go crazy if you are a good person. There is nothing to play here, and even basic living will be a big problem.

They had just arrived here and settled down. Because all the purchases had to be made by boat to Jizhou City, the next day the old man took his two sons to Jizhou City and left the women and children in the family at home, without even worrying about any problems at home.

Looking at the old man's decision, Wang Shiyu didn't say anything, but she was secretly cautious in her heart. It seemed that she didn't trust the old man as much as before, mainly because the old man had been a little too strange in the past two days.

After the old man came back from Jizhou and bought some food, some dried vegetables and various seasonings, the remaining fresh vegetables would need the women to go to the wilderness to pick wild vegetables, because there was no one selling them in Jizhou City. Even now, there were no green vegetables in the entire Jizhou City, and the few dried vegetables they had had to be snatched.

This house seemed to have a lot of secrets. When they were cleaning up the house, they found a very large cellar near the left side of the second entrance. There was nothing in it. Wang Shiyu had sneaked down there once before, and the choking smell inside made her remember it. Since then, she never walked down there again.

Because the smell was definitely a strong smell of blood, which had permeated the entire cellar. The old man seemed to understand this, so he and his two sons filled the cellar with a layer of soil at night. Although the cellar looked smaller, the disgusting smell was masked. In order to be able to put things here as soon as possible, the old man directly placed the exit of the cellar under the sun and exposed it to the sun, which made the smell in the cellar dissipate faster.

The old man's attitude towards this cellar is suspicious, mainly because his familiarity with it is surprising.

After seeing the house cleaned up, Wang Shiyu still felt a little uncomfortable, especially when she looked at the entrance to the cellar. She didn't know how many people had died here. It would be better to build a new house at home to make it cleaner. But the old man was determined to live here. She was still young and had no ability to resist. Even her father and second uncle had discussed with the old man to fill up the place, but the old man disagreed.

Although they didn't understand why grandpa made this decision, they could only respect it.

After the cellar had been ventilated for three days, the old man asked Wang Shiyu to take out all the boxes that had been placed in her place before. Wang Shiyu did not think much about it and took out all the gold, silver and jewelry that the old man had placed in her space. Except for the food that she had exchanged for gold and silver along the way, she did not touch the other things. Wang Shiyu did not even bother to tear off the seal on it to have a look.

You know, Wang Shiyu has a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her own space, and she doesn't need the old man's things at all. After all, she has swept up treasures from several countries, and even ordinary grocery stores were not spared. She really can't miss some rotten melons and jujubes. After all, these jewels are not pure, and Wang Shiyu doesn't take them seriously at all.

She even took out all the things that the old man had purchased in the town before, because at this moment she really felt that something seemed to be wrong with her grandfather, so she wanted to withdraw from it and did not want to be drawn into any vortex.

After putting all her things into the cellar, she left immediately because she didn't want to stay in the cellar for too long. It was too cold and terribly cold.

The old man did not care about Wang Shiyu's movements. After watching Wang Shiyu leave, he took out a list from an unopened box and checked it. After making sure that there was no problem with the things, he sealed the cellar containing the box. However, except Wang Shiyu, no one knew that there were so many gold, silver and jewelry in it. Some people even thought that some food was stored in it.

Even the neighbors knew that these people didn't have much money, so they naturally wouldn't target them.

Even at night, Wang Shiyu could hear the old man's footsteps walking back and forth outside. He was probably looking for something, so he half-sealed the cellar. Maybe he was afraid that someone would sneak in.

She didn't care about the old man's actions. Instead, early the next morning, she took a small basket and started walking directly to the small hill outside, wanting to dig some wild vegetables. They had settled in Qiong Island for five days now, and she couldn't stand eating dry food every day. She didn't see any vegetables at all, and she even felt a little constipated.

She had inquired about it these days and found out that there were no people buried on the hill over there. Most of the people buried were near the sea. Even if the sea water came up and washed the bodies out, no one would care. The bodies would be directly swept into the sea. As for what ate them, no one knew.

After arriving at the small hillside, the environment here was really unacceptable. There was not even any wild vegetables. There were basically only weeds, and they were all withered yellow and green weeds. Wang Shiyu looked carefully and found a little bit of yellow stem vegetables, which barely covered the bottom of the basket. When she couldn't find anything else, she gave up.
