Thanos's biological daughter in period fiction
Chapter 100 Scorching Sun
Hearing that number alone sent chills down his spine, let alone the others. He really couldn't bear to listen anymore; he had secretly sent them the message.
Why are so many people still dying?
At the time, he didn't pay attention to how many people were in Kaoshantun because there were too many people in the village and he had to help maintain order.
But if there was grain available, and it wasn't even that expensive, why didn't the people of Kaoshantun stockpile more? And why did so many people still die in the winter?
The brigade leader, still puzzled, returned home, his mind practically exploding. His wife, seeing her husband's distressed expression, asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Did you say you were going out for a walk? What happened?"
"I went to several nearby villages, thinking that now that there was water, I could check on their fields. But when I got there, I heard terrible news. This winter, dozens of people died in Kaoshantun alone. Dozens also died in the mountain villages. Other villages suffered losses to varying degrees, but none were as bad as these two. I remember delivering a message to them, and I saw people from their village coming to buy grain." The brigade leader just couldn't understand how so many people could have died.
They live off the land they live near. Some of them live near both mountains and the sea, so they can catch something from the sea and not starve.
How can people starve to death in a place where you can go up mountains and down to the sea?
“There must have been quite a few people from Kaoshantun who came here to buy grain back then. I saw dozens of them. How could they not have food to eat?” Tian Dani was also surprised to hear this number. After all, they really had the right time and place. They lived off the land and sea.
Even with me by your side, they still starved to death. Tian Dani really didn't know what to say.
"I wonder how much criticism we'll get if we report this? Sigh, God really doesn't give people a way to live..." In the end, Tian Dani could only sigh. After all, they had done what they could, and the final result was beyond their control. They just wanted to put their minds at ease.
"We've finally made it through these difficult times. After these two rains, I've noticed that the seedlings in the fields have become more vibrant." Tian Dani started going to the fields every day after planting the crops, just to check on the seedlings.
Hopefully, this isn't some cruel joke played on them by fate. After all, these seeds were bought on credit, and if the weather doesn't improve, this entire batch of grain will be wasted.
She treasured these seedlings so much. He ran around every day until the seeds sprouted and the seedlings grew up to her ankles, but his heart was still constantly on edge.
"Old woman, don't worry. The weather isn't something you can control. Whether it gets better or not, we can only leave it to fate. It's scorching hot outside, so try not to go out too much. What if you get heatstroke?" The captain knew exactly what she was thinking. He was worried too, but he was the captain; what could he do? He too was resigned to fate, and could only silently pray with his wife that God would have mercy.
These past few days, Liu Fangmei has been dripping a little bit of water from the space well into the fields while she's working, just a tiny bit, because she's afraid the crops will grow too fast and exceed what the villagers can imagine.
The birds all looked quite healthy, especially those growing rice, wheat, soybeans, and sorghum. Of course, the most common crops grown in the village were potatoes and sweet potatoes—drought-resistant and filling foods.
The main concern is that the weather might not allow it; planting sweet potatoes and potatoes is to ensure a backup plan. Even if rice, wheat, sorghum, and soybeans are unavailable, potatoes and sweet potatoes can still provide a safety net.
They didn't give up the land they originally cultivated on the mountain; they treated it as a private plot of land within the village. Since it was close to the pond, irrigation was convenient, so after corn and wheat were allowed to be grown in the village, this area was also planted entirely with corn and rice.
Villagers who frequently go up the mountain, are they sure there's still room to carve out a path around here? Sweeping the ground only creates potholes, so they're making full use of every usable spot nearby.
They were mainly afraid of being hungry, so they opened up every piece of land they could, since they had nothing else to do anyway.
Working in the fields in the village is under the scorching sun, but working on this mountain is under the shade of trees, which is much cooler than working in the village.
No one was watching you work. Once you finished the tasks assigned by the village chief, you could do your own thing, like gathering firewood or catching fish.
Liu Fangmei was only assigned to go up once every 15 days, and that time she mainly went to pull weeds and water the plants.
He had plenty of firewood at home, so he didn't bother checking it. Instead, after finishing his work, he took a few of the village girls to the hillside where he had previously irrigated the well to dig for wild vegetables.
With the addition of weeds, wild vegetables also increased. This area, which he had taken special care of, had countless wild vegetables, which were especially fresh and tender.
In no time, they had stripped the entire hillside of wild vegetables bare. Looking at the hillside, now completely bare, Liu Fangmei helplessly watered it a little more. She hoped that next time they came, there would still be wild vegetables.
I was still sighing inwardly. These girls didn't even know to go easy on me. Didn't they realize they'd ripped me bald? There wouldn't be any left next time they came.
When Liu Fangmei went out to work, she usually kept the little girl in the jade space. She was really worried about leaving her at home, and her two sons were already in school, so she could work with peace of mind only when the little girl was in the jade space.
Little Tangtang is currently picking strawberries in the space. The strawberries grown here are very sweet and have a strong strawberry flavor. Strawberries are her favorite fruit; the ones she used to buy outside, whether imported or freshly picked, always tasted a little sour.
These things in the space are not sour at all, and have a strong strawberry flavor, which she likes very much.
Ever since she tasted the strawberries from her spatial dimension once, she's secretly transferred countless more to it. All so that no matter where she is, she can eat them whenever she wants.
After finishing the strawberries, he strolled around the orchard again. When he got to the livestock shed, he discovered that there was an extra piglet and a lamb inside.
They don't have any of these right now; her father must have gotten them from somewhere. Seeing that there was no feed in the livestock trough, Xia Yutang dragged a small basket and ran to the hillside to gather a basket of grass, putting some grass for the lambs and piglets.
There was no grass in their fields, only on the small hillside under the fruit trees. Xia Yutang thought that this grass was there to serve the livestock in the barn.
After milling the rice, her father even left the rice bran behind so that he could mix it with pig feed later.
Remembering that there seemed to be no pig feed in this space, I found a few large sweet potatoes, steamed them, mixed them with bran, and poured them directly into the pig feed.
The piglet ate the pig feed along with the sweet potatoes mixed with bran...
