Crossing the famine, relying on a spiritual spring to support the entire village

Su Shuitian, Su Nian'an and the three kids were chatting while picking up hay. They brought all the nearby grass to burn. Little Ni fell asleep before she had played for a while, so Su Nian'an took Dabao and Erbao to pick up hay, while Su Shuitian stood by the fire, watching to make sure it didn't burn up the mountain.

Time passed quickly, the sun covered half of its face, like a shy little girl, and the sky was red.

The haystack burned for a whole day, but only two baskets of ash were obtained.

Su Nian'an looked at the remaining ashes and frowned. This was too little. Fifty kilograms of potatoes could only grow half an acre of land.

It took a whole day of burning grass ash to get this much, but it's not enough, we have to burn it for a few more days

"An'er, isn't this much wood ash enough?" Su Shuitian looked at the two baskets of wood ash. How much land would he have to plant? He hadn't worked for a long time and didn't know how to plant.

"It's not enough, Uncle Tian, ​​you take a rest first, I'll take these wood ashes back to the village first," Su Nian'an said as he picked up a half-foot long wooden stick that he had come from nowhere and tried to pick up two baskets of wood ashes.

"What are you carrying? Put it down!" Su Shuitian was still very scared of Su Nian'an's thick nerves. It had been more than five months, how could he still do heavy work?

Thinking of her father who passed away early, she felt sad again. If her father had returned to the village earlier, maybe he could still talk and laugh with her now.

He sighed, took the stick from Su Nian'an's hand and carried the two loads of grass ash on his back.

Why is this old man looking at me with such a bitter and resentful look? It's so strange. She has been drinking the spiritual spring for a long time and has great strength, okay? It's not a problem to have another two loads.

The old man picked up the ashes and left, not even wanting his son anymore?

Su Nian'an looked at his background with amusement, and shouted to the three people digging a pit not far away: "Dabao, Erbao, Xiaoni'er! Let's go back!"

The three kids dropped their sticks and ran to Su Nian'an excitedly.

The three of them were covered in grass ash and dirt. Xiao Nier fell into her arms. Now she is immune to Xiao Nier, but she still washes her face and hands every day. Now they don’t have vaccines, and it’s easy to get sick if they are unhygienic.

It seems that I have thought of something. Disasters are often accompanied by plagues. We still need to take precautions.

What Su Nian'an didn't know was that a plague broke out in Beilin City seven days after they left, right there on that mountain of corpses...

At this time, Beilin City was surrounded by the army. The gates on both sides were closed, and the refugees outside were driven into the hillside on the east side.

The pile of corpses burned for five days and five nights, the stench was overwhelming, and the entire Beilin City was filled with wailing, crying, and despair...

"General, the refugees have been staying on the hillside for three days. Our military rations have been almost gone, and the refugees are beginning to get restless again. If this continues, I'm afraid..." We won't be able to suppress them.

"Is there still no news from the Imperial Hospital?" Chu Ruohuai's face was full of clouds.

"Not yet" the young general lowered his head

"Report! General, the Third Prince is coming!"

Chu Ruohuai was stunned when he heard this. Why is the Third Prince here? It's so dangerous here, how can the Prince come here?

"What's wrong with you? Why don't you stop His Highness? If His Highness gets infected with the plague, can you afford it?" Chu Ruohuai was furious. He threw away his armor and walked away anxiously.

The two young generals who stayed behind looked at each other with bitter faces. Do they dare to stop it?

Chu Ruohuai stepped forward and bowed with both hands.

"See Your Highness, Third Prince!"

"Ruohuai, how is the epidemic going now?"

"Your Highness, please return to Qingdu. It is very dangerous here..."

"Ruohuai, I was sent by my father to solve the epidemic in Beilin City. Needless to say, this is the 100,000 grains and fodder I brought..."

Chu Ruohuai's eyes lit up. There was food!

"Great! Your Highness has come at the perfect time!"

Dividing line

As soon as Su Nian'an and his friends returned to the village, they saw everyone gathered in a circle. Dabao and Erbao were very curious and ran into the crowd.

The little girl reached out for her aunt to hold her. Su Nian'an would definitely not refuse a little cutie's request, so she immediately picked up her cute little niece.

As a result, after Xiao Nier was picked up, she struggled in her arms and kept staring at the crowd.

Su Nian'an: "..." Well, she is a tool

It took her a long time to squeeze out. She really wanted to use her strong arms to knock these people away one by one. Why did they get so close?

When she got to the front, she immediately glanced away the unpleasantness of squeezing in front of her. Wow, what a big wooden house!

Although the craftsmanship is not very good, there are four beds and a large square table inside, and nothing else.

It's really simple, much cleaner than a cave dwelling, and the wood is coated with wax, which can protect it from wind and rain. It's just barely habitable.

"Sister An'er, look, this is where we live. It's so new, with a new bed, a new table, and a new house!" Dabao shouted happily, running around the house.

Dabao is already 14 years old. Although he is strong, his temper is still like a child.

"New house! New house!" Erbao also imitated his brother and walked around the house

"An'er, you're back. The wooden house is built. Let's take out all the things and put them in the wooden house." Aunt Li called Su Nian'an in.

There were people who were envious, jealous, and dissatisfied among the crowd.

They have only been here for a few days and already have their own house

Imagine that there were fifty or sixty of them crowded in a cave.

The wooden house outside only houses the first, second, third and fourth bosses, and now Su Nian'an and his group have joined.

Could it be that they are the boss’s relatives or something?

Everyone was puzzled and could only look at the wooden house with envy and jealousy.

"Madam Su, are you satisfied?" Chu Zhiang said softly.

When he heard Su Nian'an's voice, he knew she was back and ran out immediately. Now there was only one thing left for her request. It was time to start planting. He was extremely anxious now.

Not only is his Axe Village short of food, the entire Qinnan is short of food. Now the number of people starving to death is in the tens of thousands. I heard from the adults that there is even an epidemic in Beilin City.

Can't afford to delay any longer...

"Thank you, Boss." Su Nian'an smiled back and continued to admire the wooden house.

Hey! You are such an ungrateful woman. Am I asking you this? What about the promise you made?

"Madam Su, what about the potatoes?"

"Don't worry, there will be results in seven days." I wonder if the potatoes grown in Lingquan can be grown in seven days.

"Really? That's great!" Seven days, will it bear fruit so soon? Potatoes are really a magical species, Chu Zhiang is so happy

In this way, wouldn't I be able to return to Qingdu earlier?

Why is this person smiling like a flower? Did he misunderstand something? It’s not the result!

"Boss?" What are you thinking about? Can you be a little more normal? Aren't you the cool type?

Ahem, Chu Zhiang stopped laughing, put on a stern face and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Nian'an: Forget it, you'd better not be normal, it's too cold
