I sent technology to another world, and the country praised me for my good fortune

Chapter 177 Contacting the Leader and Distributing Supplies

"Everyone line up. If you don't have anything with you, you can go back and get it before buying. There is no limit on the supply of things, and everyone can buy something."

"I'll go first." One of the pale and thin women took out a ring from her pocket.

The ring is made of iron wire and is very thin.

She followed the steps Fu Yin said and threw the ring into the exchanger.

Then she felt a slight burning sensation on her wrist, and then a lot of more information appeared in her mind.

The woman looked shocked, but soon reacted, her face lit up with joy, and she shouted anxiously, "I want to buy rice, buy rice!"

The ring was made by her husband who found a piece of wire in the field. He had nothing to do so he rolled it into the shape of a ring and put it on her finger.

Her husband was a reserved person, and he would not say a word for a long time. When he put the ring on her finger, he said nothing, but she understood his intentions.

If she hadn't been desperate, she wouldn't have taken out the ring.

But her husband is now starving to death, and all the love and affection are empty. She just wants to buy some food and bring it back quickly.

Fu Yin didn't let her worry. After asking her the amount she needed, he took out a small bag and filled it with a pound and a half of refined rice, and also took out a meat bun.

The wire ring is worth 20 points, and 17 points are spent here.

Xiaozhi in the space was puzzled, "Meow, why can such a thin wire have 20 points?"

Meow Meow replied, "Maybe it's a meaningful ring, the meaning is priceless."

Seeing the woman carrying the small bag of rice away, the remaining people all looked at each other eagerly, "I want to buy rice, too!"

"Everyone needs to cook, and I don't know if the water in the well at the end of the village is enough." Someone murmured in a low voice.

There is only one well and a small river in the whole village.

After the drought came, the small river was the first to dry up, and the well used to produce one bucket of water in the first two days, then half a bucket of water in three days, and now it doesn't even have half a bucket of water, and the water is muddy.

But they have even eaten mud, so the yellow mud water is nothing.

"Isn't there a bigger river in Laochen Village? We can only go there to fetch water."

"That river is almost dry, it's all dry."

"The people of Laochen Village send people to guard the entrance of the village every day to prevent people from other villages from fetching water."

Everyone fell silent and the atmosphere was solemn. No one could point out that Lao Chencun was wrong in this matter. If they were in the same situation, they might have done the same thing.

Fu Yin was packing the goods while listening to their conversation. Seeing their bitter and depressed faces, he reminded them:

"I have mineral water here, 1 point per bottle, 700ml, I really have no choice, it's the same to use this water to cook rice."

There was confusion in everyone's eyes. In their deep-rooted thinking, water is free and available everywhere. It always feels like a waste to spend money to buy water.

Fu Yin reminded him and said nothing more.

In the end, the villagers gritted their teeth and bought a bottle of water. Those who were a little richer bought two more bottles. After all, they could use it to drink even if they didn't cook.

At the end of the first day, these villagers came in batches one after another. Most of them had been here several times and had no experience before. However, this time they were well prepared and had a lot more points.

If there are many people in the family, they will buy rice and purified water and cook it themselves. They use a small pot and a small stove to cook rice, which is quite fast. At this time, they can still eat it even if there is no vegetable.

For people with smaller populations, after much calculation, I think it is more cost-effective to buy steamed buns and dumplings.

There were also a small number of villagers who had seen through the world and spent 15 points to buy a box lunch. After being on the brink of life and death, nothing was more important than being alive.

The feeling of being hungry is so uncomfortable that they never want to experience it again.

It was not until after three in the afternoon that Fu Yin finished his work.

I don't know how things are going with my parents.

Fu Yin used her tablet to make a video call to her mother.

Soon the call was connected and there was a noisy sound.

The screen was shaking a little, revealing only half of Lu Qingyan's face.

"Mom, are you in trouble?" Fu Yin's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

Lu Qingyan smoothed her hair and shook her head. "It's okay. Your father and I just arrived at the police station."

Fu Yin: “What’s going on?”

Knowing that her daughter would keep asking questions if she didn't explain clearly, Lu Qingyan smiled helplessly and told the story.

After they drove the hovercraft to the town, they wanted to find the police station. No matter what era, if there is a problem, you should find the police, and it is easier for public officials to contact the people above.

As they were not familiar with the road conditions, the three of them parked the hovercraft outside the town and planned to walk while asking for directions.

However, I didn't expect that the desolation of the town was equally frightening. The streets were dilapidated, all the shops were closed, the residential buildings were extremely silent, and there was a dull and depressing atmosphere everywhere.

What is even more tragic is that there are many skinny people lying on the ground, in tattered clothes, some even just wearing shorts. It is now late autumn and the weather is getting cooler, but they seem not to feel the cold, or perhaps they have resigned themselves to their fate.

Lu Qingyan and the other two had never seen such a scene before, and they were greatly shocked. The world seemed to be black, without a single bright light.

As a soldier, Fu Yu knows that defending the country is his vocation and serving the people is his purpose. He cannot turn a blind eye to it.

The three men temporarily gave up the idea of looking for the police station and first distributed some food to these people who were only breathing their last breath. A piece of bread and a bottle of water were life-saving medicine for them.

But after all the development, there are actually very few people who are truly alive.

Most people left quietly with their eyes open.

Fu Yongxu and the other two felt uncomfortable. They felt as if their hearts were torn apart, making them feel anxious and depressed.

The residents of the tube-shaped building may have seen what they were doing, so they came downstairs to ask them for food.

Lu Qingyan was willing to give it.

The resident said that there were more than a dozen elderly and children in his family, and asked Lu Qingyan to give more.

At this time, Lu Qingyan didn't want to delve into the truth, and she didn't lack supplies, so she agreed and even took a bag to put the things in for him.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary panic on the road, Fu Yu carried a mountaineering backpack as a cover, but in fact he took it out from the space button.

In just a short while, many more residents appeared. With so many people, they felt a sense of urgency and were afraid that they would not get a share, so they started to scramble and the situation was out of control.

Fortunately, Lu Qingyan and the others kept the protective shield open, so the residents couldn't touch them.

The residents looked at their backpacks greedily. They had not been able to fill their stomachs for a long time. Most of them were so thin that their ribs could be seen. Their hair was so messy that it was dirtier than a chicken coop. They looked like beggars, even though they had homes.

Of course, where there are poor people, there are rich people. In this era, there are still some people who are not short of food. They have connections and can get some food. They know how precious food is in this special period. These people usually never go out of the house.
