The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble
Chapter 3 Town Shopping
When it comes to escaping famine, in addition to food and water, we have to mention another important item: medicine. In ancient times, Chinese medicine practitioners were in the clinic. When seeing a patient, the doctor would take the patient's pulse, determine the symptoms, prescribe medicine, and then take the medicine home to boil.
Compared with the modern practice of going to the hospital to register and see a doctor, it is not only inefficient, but also many difficult and complicated diseases cannot be cured. Oh, how did I travel to this backward dynasty? Yun Yiyi was once again in self-reproach.
There is only one village doctor in the village, a man in his forties. His surname is Wu, and everyone calls him Uncle Wu. When Uncle Wu was young, he worked as an apprentice in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the town for six years. Therefore, he can treat some simple injuries and minor illnesses such as colds and fevers. For serious illnesses, people still need to go to the traditional Chinese medicine clinic in the town.
Uncle Wu collected many of his herbs himself, so the price was not high and the villagers could afford it. If the villagers were really poor and could only afford to eat, he would accept some eggs, vegetables, or grains.
However, the farmers of this dynasty all depended on the weather for their livelihood. In years with good weather and good harvests, after paying taxes, everyone would sell some grain and get some money. The rest was to sell eggs, vegetables, etc. at home, which were cheap and didn't sell for much.
Therefore, it is difficult for farmers to have a lot of money. If some elderly people have a serious illness, they know that they cannot be cured, but they will not spend money on treatment. They really cannot afford it. In years like last year and this year, people can't even get enough food, so how can they afford to see a doctor?
Yun the butcher had many children at home, so he also wanted to stock up on some commonly used medicines. The main reason was that Yun Yiyi had a big cut on the back of her head, and she was bleeding a lot, which frightened Yun the butcher and Zhang. They took her to the town's clinic for bandaging, and the doctor prescribed her three doses of calming medicine and six doses of anti-inflammatory medicine.
The weather is a bit hot during the day, and if they don't protect themselves well, the wound will fester. Yun the butcher asked the doctor to prescribe a few more cold medicines, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, hemostatic powder and other medicinal materials. The doctor knew that they were fleeing famine, so he understood and prescribed them all.
These medicines cost a total of ten taels of silver, which is quite expensive. The old doctor stroked his beard and said that after a while, his apprentice would come back from the state capital with medicine, and they would also prepare to migrate. Not many people are determined to flee the famine now, and when the situation gets worse in the future, the road will definitely be unsafe and difficult to travel.
This time when I went to the town, I found that the price of grain had risen again, and it was several times the usual price, and the purchase quantity was limited. Yun the butcher bought another 100 kilograms of wheat. He thought that the price was high, and the price would probably be even higher in the future. He bought it while the price was still not too high to be unaffordable.
After buying food, Yun the butcher went to the grocery store and bought ten kilograms of high-proof farm liquor. This liquor has a high proof, and a sip of it in the cold can warm the whole body. It can also disinfect wounds when injured. This is what the old doctor told them. Then, they went to the grocery store and bought twenty kilograms of salt. At this time, there was no limit on the purchase quantity of salt, and the price was about the same as before the drought.
After all, salt is rarely used in normal times, and is only used when pickling vegetables. At this time, salt is official salt, and individuals cannot sell private salt. After all, the profits of salt and iron are very high. For the sake of tax revenue, the government will not let it go. Now the crime of selling private salt is severely punished. Once discovered, the person will be beheaded. Zhang also thought that salt was indispensable on the road to escape famine, and it was not easy to buy, so he simply stored more.
Butcher Yun put all the things he bought on the donkey cart and prepared to go back to the village. This time when I came to the town, there were many more pale and thin people on the street, and many people gathered at the back door of the restaurant. When I passed by, I could see that there were not many people eating in the restaurant. Some time ago, the government issued relief grain, and everyone still had hope, so the town did not completely fall into chaos.
If the drought continues and the government does not come up with a good way to resettle the victims, it will definitely cause a riot. Therefore, it is definitely a good time to leave now.
"Scholars know more and understand the general situation of the world." Yun the butcher sighed as he cracked his whip.
After dinner, Yun the Butcher and Zhang began to pack up the things in the house. Everything that could be taken away was taken away by Yun the Butcher and Zhang. Those that were not easy to take away were put away in a room. When there was a chance to come back in the future, they would pack it up and have something to think about.
The wound on Yun Yiyi's head was treated with medicine and bandaged by the doctor. It didn't hurt much anymore. After dinner, Zhang boiled the medicine she bought from the town together with tomorrow's dose. She watched Yun Yiyi drink it. She also put tomorrow's dose into two small jars, which she could drink directly tomorrow after heating.
While everyone was sleeping at night, Yun Yiyi came to the space and continued to prepare supplies. There were some corn and peanuts harvested before the end of the world in the space. She continued to plant them. The time flow rate in the space was two to one with the outside world. The wheat that could be harvested in two months outside could be harvested in two months in the space.
The taste will be better than outside, more fragrant and sweeter. The yield will be twice as high as outside. She looked at the 40-square-meter warehouse, which was half full of food, and she finally felt relieved. Now she didn't have to worry about running out of food on the road.
The well water in the space is inexhaustible, so there is no need to worry about water shortage. My heart is at ease. Forget it, continue to turn the soil and plant crops. Although Yun Yiyi is now a child, since both of them are born with supernatural powers, it is not difficult to do these farm work. She worked hard for four hours in the space, sweating profusely. After leaving the space, she fell asleep tiredly.
On the morning of the day before departure, everyone gathered outside the ancestral hall, and the village chief led everyone to worship their ancestors for the last time. Thinking that they would never come back, the elderly in the village cried. They were afraid that they would die in a foreign land. As the old Chinese saying goes, fallen leaves return to their roots. However, the journey to escape famine was too long, and there were many variables and dangers on the road. No one could guarantee that they could reach their destination alive.
In this dynasty, the cohesion of the clan was so strong that modern people could not imagine it. The people in Yunjia Village were basically all members of the Yun clan. Everyone was a relative in some way, and if they really went out, they would unite to fight against danger. There were also some women who loved to take advantage of others and some lazy young people in the village.
Normally, they would just do minor things, but at this time, they dared not do anything out of the ordinary and leave the village. The power of an individual is limited, and if they really encounter robbery, they should protect their family or food. Everyone is very clear about the big things.
After the worship, the village chief began to adjust the formation. The village chief's family was better off and had a horse carriage, so they led the way. The other villagers lined up one by one in order. Yun the butcher's family was the last in line, mainly because they had many strong laborers. Although the three boys were not very old, they were all tall and strong, and had great strength, which gave people a great sense of security.
Following the village chief's order to set off, everyone pushed their carts, brought their children and belongings, formed a long line, and headed towards the distant destination.
