Traveling through 1942 with space

"His second aunt and younger sister, the weather is too hot and the meat can't be kept, so let's cook all the meat in the next two days! Give the kids more oil and water.

Also, there is no water in this village, we can’t stay here any longer, prepare some dry food recently, we have to flee again.” My aunt and my second aunt were plucking the hair of mice, and my uncle, who was worried by what Hou Xiaoge said, came over and said.

(The dry food here refers to a series of edible things such as bark powder and bran that are cooked in advance and can be swallowed directly with water on the way to escape famine, so as to avoid being robbed while cooking.)

The two people who were excitedly giving the mouse a bath were stunned when they heard what the uncle said. After a long while, they nodded heavily in response.

Because they worked hard at noon, Hou Xiaoge and Erhuan were given a day off by their uncle in the afternoon.

After the holiday, Erhuan was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and insisted on dragging Hou Xiaoge and his friends to play together.

But Hou Xiaoge still had to go to the space to work as a slave, and decisively rejected Erhuan's suggestion, saying that he was tired at noon and wanted to sleep.

Erhuan was helpless after being rejected, so he had to take a few younger brothers out to play and see if he could find any wild vegetables or other food.

After Er Huan left, Hou Xiaoge said hello to Second Aunt and went back to the next yard to catch up on some sleep. After returning to the room, Hou Xiaoge went directly to the planting space.

At this time, the two big rabbits had dug a new nest in the spiritual field and moved in with their family.

Hou Xiaoge naturally couldn't let this family get away with it, so he built a rabbit hole with bricks and moved the family directly into it.

The hares that had just entered were frightened and began to run around everywhere. Hou Xiaoge was startled and quickly used his spatial ability to freeze the two big guys in mid-air.

“How could I have forgotten that! Wild rabbits are wild and difficult to tame. Once they are kept in captivity, they will easily bump into things and kill themselves.” Hou Xiaoge had caught wild rabbits when he was a child in his previous life, so he naturally knew that wild rabbits have this habit.

After much thought, there was really no other solution. I couldn't bear to kill the meat, so I had to take out the sweet spiritual spring water and give it a try.

First, he used his mental power to pry open the three-petal mouth of the hare, and then used his fingers to drip a few drops of spiritual spring water into the mouths of the two rabbits.

After the two rabbits drank the spiritual spring water, Hou Xiaoge filled a small bowl of water, then cut a large bundle of grass from the spiritual field and put it into the rabbit nest, and then put the two big rabbits back.

It turns out that this spiritual spring water really works. The rabbit felt the benefits of the spiritual spring water. After entering the nest, it stopped making noises and quickly ran to the small bowl to drink the water.

After drinking the water, the two rabbits ran to the haystack with a bunch of little rabbits and started chewing them.

"Haha! I just have to wait for more than a month and I will have a steady supply of rabbit meat to eat." Hou Xiaoge couldn't help laughing.

Looking at the rabbit eating grass with big mouthfuls, Hou Xiaoge's mind already emerged with images of spicy rabbit head, cold rabbit, red oil rabbit, and braised rabbit meat. Just thinking about it made his mouth water.

"Grow up quickly! From now on, your freedom to eat your master's meat depends on you."

Like mice, rabbits can grow to three or four kilograms in three months. They give birth to babies very quickly, one litter per month. Each litter contains at least four or five babies and up to a dozen. They are simply baby-making machines.

Moreover, the female rabbit has two organs for carrying baby rabbits. She can carry ten litters a year, and then the baby rabbits can be bred after they grow up to three months old.

This goes on and on. As long as there is enough food, Hou Xiaoge will have to worry about having too many rabbits after a few months.

After one and a half days in the outside world, the crops in the planting space have grown as much as thirty days outside. The wheat seedlings and other crops are now lush and green, and the wild vegetables have grown to the height of the calf.

However, the weeds can be harvested now that they have grown to this extent. Otherwise, in a day or two, they will bloom and bear seeds. Hou Xiaoge does not want the precious spiritual field to be overgrown with weeds.

He took a sickle and came to the area where weeds were planted and began to harvest the weeds. It took more than ten minutes, and all the weeds in half an acre of land were harvested and stored in the space warehouse. The yield was not small, reaching hundreds of kilograms.

After mowing the grass, Hou Xiaoge suddenly realized that it started to rain heavily in the area where he had mowed the grass. After more than ten minutes, the rain stopped until it soaked the fields.

This is also the only feature that Hou Xiaoge is satisfied with in the planting space. He doesn't need to dig ditches and canals by himself. If he wants to water the land, he can do it as soon as he thinks about it. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome to water the land by himself every day.

After mowing the grass and watering the land, Hou Xiaoge did not continue working, but went straight out of the planting space and went to sleep.

As for why we don’t sleep in the planting space, of course it’s because sleeping in the space will consume double our lifespan!

One hour in the planting space is equivalent to two hours in the outside world. If Hou Xiaoge sleeps and works in the planting space every day, in three to five years it will be equivalent to wasting five to ten years of his life, which is simply suicide.

Therefore, Hou Xiaoge felt that he had to make rational use of the time in the planting space. After all, life was only a hundred years long, and he didn't want to waste half of his youth for a few yellow and white things.

Besides, it is too early to go to bed at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. It is more cost-effective to squeeze the time outside, so Hou Xiaoge decided to curl himself up.

After all, there is a saying that goes, why sleep for a long time when you are alive, you will sleep forever after you die.

Hou Xiaoge planned to wait until everyone fell asleep at nine o'clock in the evening to enter the space to work. In this way, he would work for six hours in the space and then come out. It would only be twelve o'clock in the evening in the outside world, and at most three hours of his life would be wasted.

I go to bed at twelve o'clock in the morning and get up at eight or nine o'clock the next day with everyone else. I get enough sleep and also reduce the waste of my life.

Moreover, as the construction of the planting space is gradually completed, Hou Xiaoge will have to further shorten the time he spends in the planting space.

Apart from harvesting crops and feeding livestock, try not to go in at other times, so that less life will be wasted.

I don’t know how long I slept, but Hou Xiaoge woke up because he was hungry. He looked at the sun and it was almost five o’clock in the afternoon.

Hou Xiaoge's family eats meals around 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., so as to minimize the time they spend hungry.

In order not to attract attention, Hou Xiaoge did not wash her face and carried her luggage to the yard where Erda lived.

At this time, everyone was waiting for dinner in the yard. The adults were fine, squatting on the steps and chatting, but the children did not have such concentration and kept looking towards the kitchen.

After Hou Xiaoge greeted everyone, he sat on the steps and chatted with his uncle and Erda.

"Uncle, how was your inquiry this afternoon? Do the villagers have any other news?" Hou Xiaoge asked with a smile.

"Yes! A few families fled here from other places the day before yesterday and brought news from outside.

Most of the areas in the east and north have been occupied by those bastards, and in the south where there has been no occupation, soldiers have set up checkpoints to prevent refugees from passing through.

I also heard that the famine in the east area occupied by the small people was even more serious, to the point where there was no one living within ten miles.

What's more, the cruel Japanese set up checkpoints everywhere to prevent the victims from fleeing the famine. Those who dared to escape were machine-gunned, and a huge number of people died.

The situation in the north and south is also very bad, even worse than in our mountainous areas. I heard that all the tree bark and firewood have been eaten, and in some places people are even eating white meat.

But there is also good news. I heard that Luoyang is setting up a porridge stall to provide porridge to the victims. There is also a free train to transport the victims to Qin Province, where they can directly distribute land.

Qin Province is a land of abundance, with more food than can be eaten. I am discussing with your Erda and uncle-in-law about going to Luoyang to escape the famine." When Hou Xiaoge saw his uncle mention Qin Province and porridge, his dazed eyes seemed to shine.
