"Second Grandma, I'm going to be out for a while. I brought some dry food with me and I won't be back for lunch."

At the gate of the courtyard, Sui He put on his backpack and shouted towards the courtyard. Without waiting for a reply from the people inside, he walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey, Erya, where are you going?" The second grandmother hurriedly chased after him and wanted to stop Suihe who had walked away.

But Sui He did not look back, but waved his hand and walked towards the forest.

"Oh, this child, the mountain is bare, and all the edible things have been dug up. Now there is nothing on the mountain except bare trees. I don't know what she is doing up there." Seeing that Sui He could not be called back, the second grandmother could only return to the room helplessly.

Sui He walked to the top of the mountain and looked back in the direction of the village. Standing high, he could see far away. From the top of the mountain, the whole village came into view.

The whole village was empty, without a trace of smoke from cooking fires. It was horribly quiet, the courtyard gates were closed, and everyone in the village had left.

Sui He looked up at a dilapidated thatched house at the end of the village. The door was open and there was a person sitting alone at the door. There had been no movement for a long time and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.

She took a deep breath, stopped paying attention to the man, and walked towards the distant hilltop. In this famine era, she couldn't even take care of herself, so how could she have the energy to pay attention to others?

This body is too weak. It has been hungry for a long time and is much thinner than people of the same age.

She has been here for several days. She has been exercising during this period and has gained a lot of strength. However, her appetite is very small and she is full after eating only a little bit.

Listening to the protest from his stomach, he decided not to embarrass himself. He looked around and saw no one, not even a bird. He cautiously went behind a dry tree and disappeared without a thought.

Sitting on the sofa, I took a small cookie and ate it slowly.

After eating and drinking, Sui He got up and opened the refrigerator. There were sweet potatoes, potatoes, various vegetables, and fruits in the refrigerator.

Although she lives alone, she prepares her own meals every day, so there are always various vegetables and fruits in the refrigerator.

There were not many sweet potatoes and potatoes, so I took them out and walked out of the room.

That's right, she was going to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes on the land in the space. Both of these crops were high-yielding and could be used as staple food or as vegetables.

She thought about it. There weren't many things in the refrigerator. If she took them out and ate them, they would be gone in a few days. She might as well give it a try. She used to live in the countryside. She knew how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. Peanuts are not only fruits, but also seeds. She also knew that peppers have seeds.

Besides, if you grow sweet potatoes, both the vines and leaves are edible.

Then they will not lack food in the future. Thinking of having fresh sweet potato leaves to eat in the future, Sui He showed a big smile on his face.

Sui He walked out of the room and looked at the large open space in front of him. He made a rough plan in his mind, walked to the right front of the house, stopped about ten meters away from the house, and started digging a hole.

There weren't many sweet potatoes, just a few. I dug a hole and carefully placed the sweet potatoes horizontally into the hole, filled it with soil, and planted potatoes that had been cut along the buds next to them. The cross-section of the potatoes was covered with wood ash that I had dug from under the stove.

Wood ash can protect potatoes and also sterilize them.

She also planted a handful of peanuts, and placed a few shallots with roots next to them, as well as various seeds covered with a piece of paper towel. She usually likes to buy vegetables from the mobile stalls next to the vegetable market.

Many of the dishes on the mobile stalls are farm dishes. Most of them are naturally ripened vegetables and fruits, and it is very likely that the seeds inside are also ripe.

Those seeds were taken from ripe fruits. We picked out some plump ones and divided them into two parts. One part was used for direct planting, and the other part was used for germination, as a preparation for both scenarios.

I don't know which method is useful, I can only try them all.

There is no time in the space. Sui He only knows that he has worked for a long time. He rests when he is tired, drinks water when he is thirsty, and eats some cookies when he is hungry.

Finally I finished what I was doing, watered the clothes, put them in the washing machine, and went to the bathroom to rub the mud.

Yes, it was rubbing mud. The original owner hadn't bathed or washed her hair for a long time, and she had a sour smell on her body, which made her feel sick. She didn't have the conditions or the ability to wash before.

Now that the conditions are met, Suihe can't help it.

After washing and drying her hair, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and stood in front of the floor-length mirror in the bedroom, looking at the refreshed original owner in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Although it is still small and black, its face and body are much cleaner. If you are in poor health, you can get whiter by taking care of it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, I took out the clothes that had been dried long ago, put them on, tied my hair, and left the space.

She didn't notice it in the space, but when she came out, she found that the sky was slowly getting dark. She had to hurry up and go back. If she didn't go back, Second Grandma and the others would be worried.

Even though Sui He hurried as fast as she could, she was afraid that someone would find her, so she still walked a long way. It was already completely dark before she got home. The forest at night was not safe. She accidentally stepped on empty space and fell off the cliff.

"Er Ya!" A voice called out from the hillside not far away. Following the voice, two figures appeared on the top of a distant mountain. The two people were holding torches and shouting as they walked.

It turned out that Sui He had been out for so long and had not returned home at noon. It was getting dark soon, and they were worried that she might have had another accident, so Second Grandma and the others came out to look for her.

"I'm here." Sui He stood still. It was too dark around her, so she decided not to move.

Hearing the response, Second Grandma and the others walked towards the direction of the sound. When they got closer, they saw Sui He carrying a small basket on his back.

"Let's go home." After taking a look, they found Sui He standing in front of them intact, with a faint fragrance on his body. The two old men looked at each other and said nothing.

Pulling her, he took off the backpack from her back, called his second grandfather who was holding a torch, and walked towards home.

"Second Grandma, are you angry?" Sui He returned home and stood in the room with his head down, looking like he had done something wrong.

"Er Ya, Second Grandma is not angry. You are not stupid anymore. You have your own things to do. I will not ask about it, nor will I object. It's just that Second Grandma hopes that you know what to do and what not to do, and don't let your family worry about you."

"I understand, Second Grandma. I won't make you worry next time." Seeing that Second Grandma didn't show any signs of being angry, Sui He felt relieved and promised.

"Well, it's good that you know. You must be tired after being out for a day. Pack up and go to bed early."

Sui He was about to answer that he was not tired when he heard his second grandfather's cautious exclamation in the yard.

"Old lady, come and see what's in Suihe's backpack." Before Suihe could react, he saw his second grandfather carrying a small backpack into the room.

Oh no! Looking at the backpack in Second Grandfather's hand, Sui He wailed inwardly. Inside it were some things she had prepared from the space, but she seemed to have not figured out how to explain these things.

How to explain, waiting online, very urgent
