284 Still sorrow
Thousands of miles away, Lin Yuxiu sat under the eaves of the porch and watched the overwhelming heavy rain, feeling the cool rain, and listening to the distant cheers in the village outside, but her heart was more sad. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, it rained, and although the drought was alleviated, the crops were gone, and even if there was water to drink, there was no food, and people still could not survive.
As a small common person, she didn't know how much grain was still in the granary of the imperial court at this time, after all, according to her previous understanding, this drought should be widespread.
Such a widespread drought means that most places have lost their harvests.
It's easy to say anything else, but if there is no harvest in a year, it means how many people will starve to death.
I wonder how many families have been able to stock up on food one day when a drought is about to occur?
In fact, Lin Yuxiu didn't dare to think about this number, after all, in this era, there are more people who eat grain, not to mention that they did not expect such a year of great drought, even if they expected, not many people can come up with money to buy enough stored grain.
Just like here, only Xihe Village, which has a relatively wealthy life, has such conditions.
Even at this time of year, except for a few families in Xihe Village who have no food, many other families still have enough food to last for a few months.
But in other places, in contrast to Xihe Village, only a small number of families have surplus food, while many more have no food.
Lin Yuxiu has never been to the city, if she does, you will find that compared with the countryside, the life of people in the city is more miserable now. Although there is no shortage of food for those rich and noble families, what they lack is fruits and vegetables, but most of the small people in the city do not have enough food.
After all, the common people in the countryside have almost a year's worth of grain in their hands, but how much grain can people in the city save in their hands by making money by working in exchange for grain? A family can save food for two months, which is already a lot.
In the past six months, the price of grain has increased several times, and the workers are more unemployed, so naturally there is no money to buy grain, and running out of grain will happen at any time.
It rained heavily for a day, and when night fell, it finally stopped.
When Lin Yuxiu woke up the next morning, the river next to the village, which had been completely arid, was filled with water again, but the verdant mountains in the past were much less green, and after the rain, they still had the same decaying atmosphere.
And these yellowed greens may take a few years to repair, or even decades, Lin Yuxiu doesn't know.
But she knew that the fragrance of the flowers in the garden that she had spent so much time creating had disappeared in only half a year, and she could not do it overnight to reorganize it.
However, since he has taken this road, as long as the conditions allow, Lin Yuxiu still intends to continue to walk on this road bravely.
Lin Yuxiu didn't think of those things that might happen in the vast world outside, but even if he thought about it, Lin Yuxiu didn't think he could manage it.
Those things need to be thought about by those who are in high positions, not by her little woman.
Don't say that the crossing girl is omnipotent, she can have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, Lin Yuxiu does not have such ability and ability.
What if you can think of some ideas? How many people can believe what a little peasant girl says? The ripening of crops cannot be completed overnight, which determines that until next year's crops are ripe, the widespread disaster across the country will continue and will not disappear with the arrival of this heavy rain.
The only thing she could guarantee was what the old patriarch had asked before, so that no one in the village would starve to death, nothing more.
However, even at this point, Lin Yuxiu is not very confident.
After all, there are already people in the village who have helped outsiders to pay attention to their own food storage. What about later? At a time when food is becoming more and more scarce, can it be guaranteed that more people will have such thoughts?
The only thing Lin Yuxiu is glad about now is that the original preparation was very sufficient, and there were still three cellars of grain in the mountain. There was enough food for the people in the village to eat for a month or two, and there was still food in the space, about the same amount of food as the food stored in the mountains, which was enough for the people in the village to survive this year of famine.
At this time, Lin Yuxiu selectively forgot the food left in the courtyard of the city before.
After all, she just said a word to Zhao Yuanxi at the beginning, and even later, for various reasons, she didn't even give Zhao Yuanxi the money to repair the cellar, so she naturally didn't think that even if there was food in the house in the city, it had anything to do with her.
After taking a long turn outside, Lin Yuxiu also met many people with happy faces, and after saying a few words, Lin Yuxiu decided to go home first.
The feeling of being dirty on the body is extremely incongruous with the fresh breath outside after the rain.
She hadn't taken a bath for several months, and she even hated herself, in fact, there was water in the space, but she didn't want to waste it, even if the deep well outside dried up that day, so she kept it.
Now I can finally take a shower.
Lin Yuxiu's family is full of women, especially several young girls, who love beauty the most on weekdays, and now they wear dirty clothes all day long, and they don't even dare to wash their faces, at most they wash their hands, so you can imagine what this will think.
When Lin Yuxiu returned home, the women at home were already making noise about boiling water, bathing and washing clothes.
"Girl, would you like to wash it too?" Pear Blossom came over with a smile and asked Lin Yuxiu.
Lin Yuxiu glanced at her and said, "You all have to wash, do you just look at me as a person who doesn't like to be clean?" ”
Rika smiled and was about to go down to boil water.
It's not that they don't think girls don't like cleanliness, but that girls should do great things, not have no pursuits like them.
Obviously, these girls have forgotten that their own girl, although capable, is also a woman who loves beauty, and this is exactly the same as them.
"Go back and boil more water, and send it to Grandma Qiao, make some soup and water at noon, for such a long time, the food is dry, I really don't want to continue eating." Thinking that the basic food she ate during this period of time was dry food, Lin Yuxiu also felt that it was enough.
I never knew that dry food was so unpalatable, even if the food was enough, but without the moisture of water, it was not beautiful after all!
