Taking space to escape famine, Sister Wan killed everyone along the way
Chapter 7: No water, maybe fleeing from famine
In the evening, we ate steamed buns made of ground bran and black flour. Each person had one. They were black and hard, and they hurt our throats. Every time we ate them, we stretched our necks and choked, and we rolled our eyes. We had to drink some soup, otherwise we couldn't swallow them at all.
She even suspected that after eating this steamed bun, her neck would stretch and the skin in her throat would be peeled off twice.
The porridge we drank was also a paste made from this kind of noodles, which was relatively thin. The dishes were pickled vegetables, and the whole family only had one small dish.
Watching my family chewing the steamed buns carefully with their expressions as usual, I couldn't help feeling sad and lowered my head to chew the food in my mouth carefully.
Finally, she couldn't eat any more, so she broke off half of the steamed bread in her hand and handed it to Qin Hao, "Ahao, I can't finish it either, you two can share it."
It is said that half-grown boys can eat their father out of money. These children are at the age of growing up, and they are all boys. In addition, they practice martial arts and do physical work. How can they be full with just a steamed bun and a bowl of porridge?
"Sister, we have enough food, you can eat it yourself!" Qin Hao raised the steamed bread in his hand to show that he had enough, and the other two followed suit.
Qin Wanwan forcefully handed the half steamed bread in her hand to Qin Hao, "Be good, I'm really not hungry, but I'm not being polite to you, eat it quickly!"
Qin Hao blushed at her words "be good" and didn't know what to do with his hands and feet for a moment, so he forgot to refuse.
Looking at his appearance, Qin Wanwan found him cute and chuckled softly.
Qin Qingyun looked at this scene, feeling both sad and amused. "Wanwan, what do you want to do with that wild ginseng?"
Qin Wanwan swallowed the food in her mouth and then spoke, "Let's sell it. These days, every household is struggling. The villagers can't afford such expensive wild ginseng even when they need medical treatment.
There are many wealthy people in the city. If we sell it to the city's pharmacies, we can get some money and solve our current difficulties!"
She was telling the truth. There had been severe droughts in the past two years and the harvests were poor. People had to tighten their belts to make ends meet. The food they ate was basically the daily food of every household, and some was even worse than what they ate.
Most importantly, there are only two meals a day!
She got a headache when she thought of this. Why didn't she take out a chicken or a rabbit today? And what about the things in her space? How could she use them openly?
Qin Qingyun frowned slightly. "The weather has been getting hotter and hotter lately. I'm afraid the crops in the fields will be completely destroyed this year."
There is a well in the Qin family's yard. There was some water in the well during the previous drought, but recently the water has become shallower and shallower, and is almost gone.
The Qin family's well is quite deep. If there is no water in their well, then the well in the village should have dried up, not to mention the river in the village.
In the past two days, the villagers may have to fetch water from their homes, but their wells...
Song Shuyi also thought of this and frowned, "If we don't have water, how are we going to survive in the future? Do we have to flee from the famine?"
I heard from her father before that her great-grandfather fled to this place to escape famine. Life was very difficult when fleeing from famine, and he might even lose his life.
My family is in this situation now. If I go to escape the famine, then...
Qin Wanwan was not that worried. After all, she had her own space in her hands, so she would not die of hunger or thirst.
"If we really have to flee the famine, we must quickly sell the wild ginseng and buy more food to prepare for the future. Even if we don't flee the famine, there will be enough for our families to eat."
"Well, Wanwan is right. Tomorrow you and Ah Hao go to the town together. Take the handkerchief that mother embroidered and sell it. Then buy some medicine for your father."
"it is good!"
There has been a severe drought in the past two years, and there is a water shortage everywhere, but there is still water in the Qin family's well, so Qin Qingyun has never been interrupted from taking medicinal baths.
It was called a medicinal bath, but in fact it was just some hot water with boiled medicine in a wooden barrel. The barrel was very narrow and could only hold one leg, so Qin Qingyun did not use much water.
"No need to bring medicine. There's almost no water in the well now. We don't even have enough water to drink. Let's just eat first."
This medicine has been used for so many years, and a lot of money has been spent, but there has not been much change in his body. It is better not to waste resources on him anymore. The lives of our own people are more important.
Song Shuyi wanted to say something, opened her mouth, but in the end no sound came out.
Qin Wanwan finished the last mouthful of soup and said, "Don't worry, who knows what the situation will be like tomorrow? Maybe there will be water in the well tomorrow."
She planned to release some of the water from the pipes in the space into the well, at least enough for the family's use.
Look at this family, the men and women are handsome, and the house is tidy. It’s not spotless, but it’s clean and tidy. Even the clothes they wear, you can tell they haven’t been washed for a long time.
Her words did not make the atmosphere more relaxed. Even Qin Lang, who usually livened up the atmosphere, did not say anything.
Silent all night.
Early the next morning, Song Shuyi got up to cook and saw the not-so-shallow water in the well. She thought she was dazzled and rubbed her eyes hard, but when she opened her eyes again, there was still the same amount of water.
He was immediately overjoyed and quickly called out to Qin Qingyun, who was moving outside the house with a cane, "Qingyun, look, there is so much water in the well today!"
Hearing this, Qin Qingyun hurried over there. When he saw the water in the well, a look of joy appeared on his face. "Really? Come on, stand aside and let me draw up this water first."
Song Shuyi acted quickly, and Qin Qingyun fetched a bucket of water in a short while. He thought the water would be replenished soon, but after the bucket of water was fetched, the water level dropped directly.
Qin Qingyun's smiling face with joy descended little by little, but God still did not show mercy.
When Song Shuyi saw his expression, she quickly looked into the well, and then the joy on her face disappeared.
Qin Qingyun's bad mood quickly faded, and soon a gentle smile appeared on his face again. "Okay, don't think too much. At least we have a bucket of water today, right?"
"That's right!" The disappointment on Song Shuyi's face disappeared, and she stared at the water in the bucket with a treasured look on her face.
After experiencing Qin Qingyun's broken leg, Song Shuyi is now very relaxed. Nothing is more important than people being alive and together!
Qin Wanwan also got up at this time. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at the two people by the well, "Dad, Mom, you are up too!"
She put water into the well last night, but the water from the faucet was too small, so she had to put it in little by little. She had to keep her hand close to the wellhead so that the water could flow into the well.
I don't know how long it took for the water in the well to increase a little bit, she was so sleepy...
I went into the room, lay on the bed and fell asleep, and even forgot to enter the space!
She thought that such an intelligent space would allow the water in it to flow directly into the well with just a word from her. Who knew it would be so troublesome?
Sure enough, she still didn't know much about space, and she had to think about this golden finger later.
