Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

The town was in chaos and everyone in the village had fled, let alone the county town.

At this moment, Luoyang County Magistrate Jiang sat in the county office in a daze. He had already sent his mother, wife, and children south.

People in the county town ran away overnight, and a small number of people remained to wait and see, or were difficult to move.

He had previously intended to reveal that they were heading south, but most people were heading to the capital.

Before everyone left, he still had to maintain order in the county. Now, only he, the clerk Lin Lao, and three constables were left in this empty county government office.

As for the four loyal men, County Magistrate Jiang called their families and went south with his wife.

His wife was beautiful and intelligent, and her family lived in the southern city. He was also a miserable man, his father was an old scholar, and when he was 10 years old, his father was hit by a runaway carriage while trying to save a child playing on the street and died under the wheels.

His mother's hair turned white overnight, and they depended on each other for survival. His mother worked as a embroiderer, and he copied books. Thanks to his excellent grades, the school waived his tuition fees, allowing him to continue his studies. He passed the imperial examination at 30, but was demoted to a lower position in the capital. He served as a county magistrate for ten years, doing his utmost to benefit the people and speak for them, but this court...

The county gates were still open, and no one knew what was happening inside. They decided to stay three miles outside the gate tonight. The hot weather wasn't a big deal, except for the mosquitoes. Liu Yuhan gave some moss and wormwood to the village chief, saying they could burn them to fume away the mosquitoes.

Liu Daling's family erected a makeshift shelter. Four wooden stakes were driven into the ground, surrounded by old cloth, and two wooden planks were placed crosswise on the top. A simple thatched mat was placed on top, and a thin blanket was placed underneath. It became a simple, private space perfect for the women and children to stay in. It was also convenient for eating.

The men just gathered around the tent and spread out straw mats and old quilts, while Liu Yuhan fumigated mugwort nearby.

Liu Yuhan called her grandmother and mother aside and told them she was going to enter the space and what her state would be like when she did. Old Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Liu nodded cautiously, while Old Mrs. Jiang stood guard at the door. Mrs. Liu followed her in, and Liu Yu lay down and entered the space.

Today she was going to light a fire in her space. On a whim, she'd spent nearly a thousand yuan on Pinduoduo and stocked up on 400 kilograms of charcoal, thinking she could barbecue there alone sometime. She had pots and pans in the small kitchen, everything she needed.

Liu Yuhan lit the charcoal, put it into the wood-fired stove, added water and put the four-layer steamer on it, boiled eggs at the bottom and heated meat buns and steamed buns on top. This was what he would eat tonight.

While cooking, Liu Yuhan sorted and cleaned up all the things she had brought from Shitou Town. She also left some extra space, as she wanted to go to the county town tonight.

Half an hour passed in the space, which was exactly a quarter of an hour outside. I put the buns in a large earthenware jar, covered it with a lid, took another bowl to put the eggs in, and left the space.

Liu breathed a sigh of relief. When she saw her daughter motionless, she was extremely worried. She tried to call her softly, but she didn't respond at all. Seeing her daughter like this in a place she couldn't predict, she felt terrified.

Liu Yuhan had no idea what her mother was thinking. She called the nurse in. She told her to take Liu Daling to eat first, and then they would come in in two groups. Old Lady Jiang went out and whispered to all the children to come in, telling them to eat quietly and without making any noise.

Liu Yuhan gave them two buns. Xiao Si, Xiao Wu, and Liu Yun each got one and a half. He peeled the eggs for them, giving them one each. Liu Yuhan only ate one bun; she had just drunk milk in the space and wasn't hungry.

Give Liu Yang an extra one. He's only 15 years old and has been pushing a cart all day. It's no wonder he's tired. Liu Yang couldn't push anymore and had to eat. Seeing Xiao Wu looking at him eagerly after finishing his meal, he gave him half of it.

Liu Yuhan...could this be a big eater brother?

After the younger ones finished eating, it was the turn of the older ones to eat. The adults each had two meat buns, a steamed bun, and an egg. Liu Yuhan suddenly stuck his head in and said sternly that they must finish the food and not leave any leftovers!

Adults who are preparing to stay for food...

After eating and drinking, Liu Yuhan said hello to the two elders and took his parents into the city to continue to use the Shitou Town method to make money.

Although some of them had been plundered by others, there were also things that were inconvenient for them to take. For example, the bookshelves and tabletops of wealthy families even had a lot of porcelain, carved chairs, stone mills, large washing slabs, wooden barrels, large water vats, rice vats, firewood, charcoal, etc.

What surprised them most was that they found five large bags of brown rice in a cellar, each weighing nearly 100 kilograms! Could it be that they had forgotten about them? Or perhaps they had left them for the servants and were too lazy to bring them? Well, either was possible. In any case, it was a good deal for them.

I picked up a lot of books in a bookstore. They must have been left behind in a hurry. They were all good books. I collected them and gave them to my younger brothers to read.

Liu Yuhan was a little speechless looking at his excited parents. They went from one family to another, never getting tired of it.

In the end, they were responsible for searching, and Liu Yuhan was responsible for standing guard and collecting things. She used the space again and again, and piled all the things on the ridge of the field!

She is a person who has to work hard. She needs to work hard in the space and cannot be lazy.

So if she wants to avoid hard work, she must first tidy up the things in the space, leave enough space, and put them away at once so that people won’t be too tired.

An hour and a half later, they finally returned to the team. Liu Yuhan felt tired just looking at the space. Liu Daling and the others went to sleep peacefully after seeing them return.

At daybreak, Liu Shinan was telling the village chief about the situation in the county town when they saw two horses coming towards them. Everyone vigilantly held the "weapons" in their hands and pulled the children behind them.

"Don't panic. I'm Jiang Jun, the magistrate of Luoyang County. Where are you from?"

"Ah, he said he was the county magistrate. Really? Didn't everyone run away? How could an official not run away..."

County Magistrate Jiang...

No one had seen the county magistrate. He dismounted and glanced at his attendant, who then pulled out a small wooden plaque with the government office logo.

Everyone wanted to kneel down. County Magistrate Jiang stopped them. The two village chiefs stepped forward to explain the situation to the magistrate. Knowing they were planning to go south, the magistrate asked for paper and charcoal pencils. He then explained the route to the south in detail, including the approximate distance, the direction, and the cities they would pass through. Everyone gathered around County Magistrate Jiang listened attentively, and Liu Yuhan also silently memorized the information.

The road that County Magistrate Jiang pointed out to them was exactly his wife's home, Fu'an City in the south, nearly 1800 miles away from here (30 kilometers in ancient times). If they walked, given the backward road conditions, and calculated at 40- kilometers a day, it would take nearly two months. This was under normal circumstances, and no one could predict what would happen on the road.

There is no point in thinking too much, you can only take one step at a time.

County Magistrate Jiang was happy for them when he saw that they had sufficient supplies, and he said goodbye to the villagers.

I hope to see you again.
