Plane Trading: A Peasant Girl Escapes from Famine and Becomes Rich Enough of a Nation

"Auntie... let me help you up!" Su Qiuyi was startled by the voice of the person on the ground, but she also knew that at this time, there would be no one who was not hungry and weak. She thought that this auntie was just hungry and weak.

There were so many people walking on the street and it was so noisy that she didn't pay attention to anything else.

He tried to help the person up, but the aunt on the ground refused.

"Little girl, please go! I'm fine, I can't get up!"

As he said this, he picked up a skinny little girl from the side, hugged the child tightly, and kowtowed, "Please, kind-hearted people, please buy my old woman's carriage, so that we can have a chance to survive... I beg you..."

Su Qiuyi then noticed that there was a carriage behind the old lady. Although the carriage was not very new or good, there was no damage to it. She could not tell the age of the horse, which was also rather thin, and looked unhealthy.

But considering the general situation at that time, this is normal.

The old lady knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again. Su Qiuyi watched the carriage passing by and saw many people passing by them, but no one stopped to ask questions.

"Auntie, how much do you want to sell this carriage for? Can the horse still pull the carriage?" Su Qiuyi squatted down and spoke in a low voice.

She didn't dare ask loudly. What would happen if someone knew that she had money on her?

When the old lady heard the girl asking about the price, she grabbed Su Qiuyi's arm as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, regardless of whether the other party could afford it.

"Girl, I don't ask for much. As long as you can give us two grandchildren a way to survive, that's enough. If you really don't have money, you can exchange it for food and water! You decide on the price..."

She had been kneeling here for two hours, and finally someone came over to ask her, and she didn't want to scare him away.

"My son and daughter-in-law passed away unexpectedly, leaving me alone with my granddaughter. We have no way to survive after encountering this natural disaster. There is only this carriage left in the house. Please help me..."

Su Qiuyi frowned. Food and water are more valuable than silver now. She happened to have some of them, but she didn't know the price of a carriage in this world.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly had an idea. She pulled the old lady up, walked to the carriage, and whispered, "How about this, old lady? I don't have much money on me. I'll give you ten taels of silver, a water bag, and five kilograms of rice. If it works, you can keep the carriage. If not, I don't have much more on me!"

There are many pitiful people. When she looks at this pair of grandchildren, she will sigh and lament their plight, but she is not so pitiful as to offer help.

Look at the streets full of people crying and making a fuss, carrying luggage, holding their children, or even crying loudly because their children are lost. She can't feel enough pity for them.

Speaking of pity, she herself felt pity. Her mother sold her sister and left, her father had his legs broken and lay on the kang, and her grandfather separated them and ignored them...

She just felt pity for the carriage, thinking that even if her father's legs got better, it would be difficult for him to walk for a while, so it would be great if he could have a carriage like this.

In the end, the old lady reluctantly left the carriage, took Su Qiuyi's money and food, and left with her granddaughter.

Su Qiuyi was left standing beside the carriage, not knowing what to do.

After she bought the carriage, she realized that she couldn't drive it...

This was the first time in my two lifetimes that I had seen a real horse, let alone driven one.

She looked around for a while and saw that she was at the entrance of an alley. She held the horse's reins and walked into the alley.

Now that nine out of ten houses are empty, she planned to find an empty house to park the carriage and then go home to see how things were going at home.

After searching for a while, I found a suitable place at the innermost part of the alley.

A small yard, the yard is not big, the house is not big either, and it is empty inside, with nothing in it. There are some tables, chairs and benches lying around in a mess in the yard.

What was rare was that this yard had high walls on all four sides and the gate was also intact. Su Qiuyi carefully pulled the carriage into the yard, and it took him a long time to unload the carriage and tie the horses in the stable in the yard.

I found out that this family also raised horses. There was a small stable in the northwest corner of the yard. There was some hay in the trough inside, which must have been what the family didn't have time to take away when they fled the famine.

But the horse only looked at the hay but didn't eat it...

This stable was originally a simple one, with only one horse trough. Su Qiuyi took out all the hay in the trough and began to pour water from the space water dispenser into the trough.

Her water dispenser could only be used to fill water and take it out; it was not like in the novels she had read, where the heroine could make water flow through her fingers.

Su Qiuyi bought pots, pans, and utensils from the grocery store when she went to the city a few days ago. She found a wooden basin to collect water.

When the first basin of water was poured out, the horse neighed, lowered its head and began to drink it up with big gulps.

It looks like he has been thirsty for several days.

Soon, the basin of water was empty. Su Qiuyi poured out five basins of water in succession, and the horse drank it all.

Then the horse waited for Su Qiuyi to pour more water. Seeing that she did not move, the horse took a few steps on the spot, then lowered its head and began to eat the hay on the ground.

Originally, Su Qiuyi wanted to feed the horse some of the food she had stored, but she was afraid that there would not be enough food for people, so she could only feed it hay.

There are only more than 100 kilograms of rice and flour in the space, and I don’t know when the drought will end. Even if I have money, there is nowhere to buy it.

She has more than a hundred old hens waiting to be sold...

The horses were tied in the shed, fed water and fed hay, and the carriage was unloaded in the yard. Su Qiuyi could not waste any more time, so he went out of the yard, locked the gate and felt relieved, then hurried to the village.

When she arrived at the village, it was already afternoon. Once inside the village, it was completely quiet and no human voice could be heard.

If she doesn't know what's going on, she'd be a fool.

The entire village must have fled the famine, and they went quite far away. She didn't meet anyone on her way back.

Even though I was tired, I quickened my pace and rushed home in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the yard, she found it was as messy as the one in town where she parked her carriage, and it was also quiet without any sound.

Su Qiuyi didn't have time to think too much, so he quickly ran to the west wing and pushed the door open.

Facing each other, Su Mingyue burst into tears when she saw her elder sister coming back. She ran over and hugged her, "Sister, you are finally back... wuwuwu... I thought... I thought something happened to you and you can't come back..."

Su Laosan, who was lying on the kang, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his eldest daughter coming back. His younger daughter had not been found yet, so what would he do if his eldest daughter was also missing?

"Okay, be good. Big sister is back! I won't abandon you!" Su Qiuyi patted her second sister's back to comfort her. If she wanted to leave, she could really follow the main group today.

But she occupied someone else's daughter's body, and morality prevented her from ignoring the original daughter's family.
