Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Rumble...Rumble...

In the middle of the night, people were sleeping soundly when they heard a roar that was getting louder and louder, accompanied by lightning, strong winds, and huge raindrops hitting the eaves.

Everyone was awakened by the shock.

Then there were the sounds of doors opening one after another, cheers, and some people even ran out into the rain, fell to their knees, and cried loudly...

It’s finally raining! It’s finally raining…

This rain, from central and southern China to the north, I wonder how many people are looking forward to it, how many people are waiting...

How many people left their homes and died in foreign lands because of the lack of this rain...

No one knows their suffering, no one sympathizes with their helplessness. They just go with the flow, just to save their lives.

Liu Yuhan fell asleep in the space and knew nothing.

When she finished breakfast and came out of the space, she found it was raining.

The sky seemed to be leaking. The heavy rain continued for three days and three nights. Then a light drizzle began to fall. The cracked earth was filled with food, the withered grass and trees regenerated, and the dry riverbed began to swell.

Liu Yuhan never leaves her house, staying inside every day, actually busy with her work. Three acres of corn are ripe and ready to be harvested. She hangs the harvested corn under the eaves to dry naturally. Once completely dry, she seals it in a container and stores it as seed. She plans to use these three acres of cornfield to plant corn again. First, she'll get the corn seedlings started.

There are also expanded fields, which are also being plowed. Two mu of land are used for rice cultivation. She is like an industrious little bee, constantly picking her honey.

The villagers collected water in wooden buckets, washed their dirty clothes, and took a good bath.

I have been eating steamed black-flour buns these days. They are simple and convenient.

Fortunately, we bought firewood that day, so everyone stayed in the room because it was raining.

I am also glad that I live in the city. If I were still on the road fleeing the famine, with such heavy rain, who knows what would have happened. Without a suitable place to shelter from the rain, many people would have fallen ill.

The women who stayed in the room mended shoes and clothes.

The young boys and girls learned to read and write, and studied with Yang Zhi, Liu Guang, Liu Lu and others.

The youngsters who couldn't sit still practiced martial arts in the room.

They have become accustomed to doing their own things during breaks along the way.

Reading, practicing martial arts and mending shoes are all good.

Liu Daling brought his younger brother and the elders of the clan, drank some wine, ate some chopped dried tofu, and felt very comfortable.

He even proudly told them how filial his granddaughter was, and that she was no match for those boys. He said girls were more caring.

Innocent victims Liu Yang, Liu Guang, Liu Lu, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu...

Liu Xiaoman also repeatedly echoed his brother's words.

Liu Ming, Liu Liang, and Liu Shui were innocent victims...

Women always hold up half the sky.

Liu Yuhan had another nightmare tonight.

The moat was full, and the flood rushed towards the people like a beast, destroying countless houses without restraint...

There are so many people shouting for help...

The people disappeared in the water in an instant, and all kinds of poultry and other things were washed away by the flowing water to who knows where...

Xiao Si and Xiao Wu were floating in the turbulent water. Liu Yuhan tried to catch them but couldn't...

Liu Yuhan was startled awake. She washed her face with cold water, rinsed her face, and ate breakfast.

She dressed in men's clothes, cleaned up, and began applying makeup. She thickened her eyebrows and smeared a dark, contouring foundation on her face, giving it more depth. Her skin was becoming lighter and brighter, and her complexion was improving, something she could only conceal with makeup.

She used a pencil to evenly paint her crimson lips, pulled her collar up to hide her neck, and covered her ears with her hair, as she had pierced ears.

After saying goodbye to his family, he followed his mother out the door, who had also packed her things.

Mother was wearing elegant clothes, the new clothes that Xiao Yan had bought her some time ago. Liu Yuhan also took out a gold hairpin, a jade bracelet, and jade-inlaid gold earrings from the space for Liu to wear.

I put some modern light makeup on her face. Liu is 32 years old, naturally beautiful, with delicate and elegant features.

Liu Yuhan gave her a set of Dabao skin care products and asked her to apply them every morning and evening. After this period of care, she looked younger and more beautiful.

Liu's every move exuded splendor and elegance, as if she was born to be that way. Everyone was stunned!

Is this Liu? Liu Shinan was especially stunned. His wife was so beautiful, he felt a little ashamed. What was going on?

Liu Shinan felt very wronged. They usually went on a threesome, but this time he was not included. He could only stand at the gate and watch them leave.

The mother and daughter talked as they walked, and soon decided what to say when they met the official in the government office.

Government office.

The yamen official, Lord Liu, was pacing anxiously at the moment. When he heard the yamen runner say someone wanted to see him to report on the flood, he hurriedly asked someone to bring him in.

Liu Yuhan and Liu bowed slightly to the prefect. She really didn't want to kneel. She was dressed as a man, so she should kneel.

Mr. Liu from the government office didn't mind and asked them what they wanted to report.

Liu Yuhan stepped forward. "Sir, my mother and I are from Jiangnan and are passing through here on our way to visit relatives. It's been raining heavily for days, and I'm feeling uneasy. I've come to see you and report this."

"Oh, what do you want to report?"

"South of the Yangtze River is rainy and floods occur all year round. The people suffer terribly. If we don't take precautions, the houses and rice fields will be flooded at best, and the houses will be destroyed and people and livestock will be washed away at worst. If people and livestock die accidentally, it will cause diseases and epidemics if it is not cleaned up in time, and the consequences will be disastrous. Judging from the weather, the rain shows no sign of stopping, so we must take precautions against floods. I can't bear to see the people suffer, and I am reckless. I only hope that you can give me some advice and take precautions." Liu Yuhan said and stood aside.

Liu stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, I am a straightforward person and my words may be rash. I hope you will forgive me. But what he said does have some truth. We have some dealings with the Huo family in Fu'an City, so we dare not speak rashly. I hope your Excellency will make a decision soon."

When Lord Liu heard that they were from Jiangnan, he felt that what they said made some sense. When he heard Liu mention the Huo family in Fu'an City, Lord Liu's eyes lit up and his attitude towards them became much more serious.

Sure enough, the identity outside is given by yourself, so you should be bolder and give it a bigger one.

Lord Liu then asked them how to prevent, control and treat floods in Jiangnan.

Liu Yuhan started writing again...

Now that it has rained, it is absolutely necessary to clear the river channels and ditches, especially the lower reaches. Water must not be blocked or allowed to accumulate. Furthermore, clearing ditches in areas where people live will be devastated. Otherwise, the people downstream will suffer.

The city has planned a temporary shelter, and villagers living downstream and nearby can evacuate in advance. Those with dilapidated houses nearby can also seek refuge in the city first.

Riverbank reinforcement: Use stones, sand bags, etc. to reinforce the riverbank.

People should not wander around. If possible, distribute typhoid herbs to the people.

If you come across dead poultry or animals, you should quickly pick them up and bury them deep. If you come across a rotten carcass, you should burn it.

After a flood, if the area was flooded, the streets and houses should be thoroughly cleaned, and the rooms should be fumigated with mugwort. The streets and wells should also be disinfected with lime.

If there are not enough yamen runners to do the work, they can recruit civilians to help. The civilians and yamen runners who do the work must wear face towels and gloves and must not directly touch dead animals, etc.

After seeing them off, Lord Liu hurriedly instructed the others to leave. "Now that the rain is light, hurry up and do it."

When there were not enough people, they would beat drums and gongs to recruit people from the people, paying them silver and providing them with food and lodging.

The mother and daughter returned to their residence, and not long after, they heard the sound of gongs coming from the streets and alleys, and people were shouting about the government recruiting people as they walked.

The villagers asked the village chief, who, after consulting with the elders, agreed that it was feasible. The hunters, strong men, and strong young men set out, totaling about 80 people from the two villages.

The village chief told them to be careful, run away if they saw danger, and come back and tell everyone if anything happened.

80 people wearing straw raincoats and carrying hoes walked towards the government office.

Poor people living in the south city or victims fleeing famine also walked towards the government office one after another.
