Chapter 29 The Movement for All
Since everyone discovered that Artemisia annua can prevent the plague, the big stone that pressed on everyone's hearts was put down, and everyone dispersed for a while.
Mu Chenghu looked at the state of the big guy and felt that the situation was not good.
At noon, Mu Chenghu ate the clear porridge and thought about it.
After eating, Mu Chenghu found that most of the men were sitting in the camp basking in the sun, while the children were running around the camp.
Liu Fu looked at Mu Chenghu with a sad face and asked, "Did you encounter anything?" ”
"No, I just think it's not okay for everyone to be lazy like this, and I'm afraid that everyone won't be able to bear it when we continue to hurry." Mu Chenghu shook his head and said.
"Then just find something to get them moving." Liu Fu felt that Mu Chenghu's IQ was not online at all at this moment, and it was estimated that he was also idle.
"The main thing is that I don't know what to find for them." Mu Chenghu said with some distress.
Liu Wu thought that after nearly a month of heavy rain, there was not much coal and charcoal left, so he said to Mu Chenghu: "Let them go to the neighborhood and cut down some trees and come back to burn charcoal." ”
"That's good, the problem is that they can do it in three or two days." Mu Chenghu made a rough calculation.
After hearing this, Liu Wu couldn't think of a better way for a while.
In the evening, Liu Wu just walked into the stove room and heard Han scolding.
Liu Fu asked cautiously, "Mother, who made you angry?" ”
"The damn rain has soaked some of the seeds, and some of them are starting to sprout." Han explained.
"Aunt Han, it's just that some seeds have been thrown away, and we will find some new ones when we settle down in the future." Xiao Zhang, who came in after washing the dishes, said.
"Chengde's daughter-in-law, you don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and we don't have much money now. How much money will it cost us to go all the way, and when we settle down, it will cost everywhere. Han looked at the few people in the kitchen with a look that you young people didn't understand anything.
"Aunt Han, otherwise we will dig a piece of land outside the camp and plant it, and when it grows, it can add a vegetable for everyone." Widow Xiao thought for a moment and said.
As soon as Liu Fu heard Widow Xiao's suggestion, her eyes lit up, so that she didn't know what Han said later.
Liu Wu suddenly turned around and asked, "Mother, how many seeds do we have?" ”
Han Shi calculated and said, "Each family has brought a lot, plus your second brother brought a lot from his store, there are really a lot." ”
"That's great." After Liu Wu said this, he quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Han looked at the back of Liu Fu and muttered, "Really, I don't know how to help do something one day." ”
"Chenghu, I have a way." Liu Wu found Mu Chenghu and said a little excitedly.
When Mu Chenghu heard this, he quickly stood up and asked, "What's the way?" ”
"We can tell them to go and grow vegetables." Liu Fu said with a smile.
"It's a good idea to grow vegetables in the wasteland. The problem is that we have so many seeds there, and we don't know how long people are going to be here. ”
"I asked my mother about seeds, and my mother said that we still have a lot of seeds in our hands. As for the time, you don't have to worry, we can pick some vegetable varieties with a short growth cycle. Liu Wu thought for a moment and said.
"Asu, you're really thoughtful." Mu Chenghu praised with a smile.
"Asu, while everyone hasn't slept yet, I'll call everyone to tell you about it."
After Mu Chenghu finished speaking, he turned around and looked for the gong.
Everyone in the camp was chatting from south to south, and they were all startled when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs, and then everyone walked towards Mu Chenghu's place in unison.
Mu Chenghu saw that everyone had gathered, so he said, "I believe that I don't need to say that the big guy has found out, this top of the mountain is much colder than the foot of the mountain." ”
When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads to indicate that this was indeed the case.
"Everyone also knows that we don't have much charcoal and coal left, so we might as well burn some charcoal now." Mu Chenghu continued.
After listening to Mu Chenghu's words, Mu Chengwen immediately said: "What the village chief said is right, tomorrow I will take the big guy to burn some charcoal and reserve it." ”
Mu Chenghu then said, "We don't know how long we will stay here, but our food is limited, and in this situation, I am afraid that we will not be able to buy food anywhere." ”
As soon as Mu Chenghu finished speaking, the crowd immediately stirred.
"This is indeed a big problem, if the food problem is not solved, it is never a long-term solution for everyone to stay here, and the most important thing is that we can't leave here for a while." Mu Qingshan is worthy of being a person who has come over, and his words are to the point.
Mu Chenghu saw that the fire was almost over, so he said, "I think we should take the initiative instead of sitting here and waiting." ”
"Chenghu, you don't want to sell Guanzi, is there any way to say it quickly." Mu Qingshan urged.
When everyone heard Mu Qingshan's words, they raised their heads one by one and looked at Mu Chenghu with joy.
Mu Chenghu had to hurriedly say: "We can open up some wasteland here and grow some sparse vegetables that grow faster, so that we can save some food." ”
Mu Chenggui took Mu Chenghu's words and said, "The third child, that's right, we can plant some vegetables such as green vegetables and radishes, these two can eat vegetable seedlings in four or five days, if you stay for a long time, the radish can be used to steam rice when it grows ripe, and the green vegetables can also be made into salt vegetables and sauerkraut." ”
Mu Chenghu was a little surprised, and Mu Chenggui even knew the growth cycle of these vegetables in such detail.
Li Tiezhu blushed and whispered, "Village Chief, what can I do?" ”
Mu Chenghu thought for a while and said, "You and Chengtian go hunting in the mountains and forests, don't be blind to your good strength." ”
Mu Chengzhu patted Li Tiezhu's shoulder and said, "Okay, the village chief, we brothers must take a good look at the Tiehammer brothers." ”
Mu Chenghu was about to shout the end of the meeting, when he heard Mu Yao say, "Dad, I can take the children to exercise." ”
Mu Chenghu looked at his daughter's expression of begging for praise, thinking to himself how I forgot about the old man and the child, and immediately said, "Very good, the children will be handed over to you, exercise your body and hurry later." ”
Mu Chenghu looked at the old man sitting in front of him again, and said, "Uncle Thirteen, I will hand over your older generation to you, you must supervise them well and let them also exercise their bodies." ”
"Uncle, I don't need it!" Wei Ran felt that exercising with the old people was simply a waste of his time.
"Uncle Wei, of course you don't need to. Because I have more important things for you to do. Mu Chenghu said a little mysteriously.
"What's the matter?" Wei Ran asked with some curiosity.
"You go down the mountain every three days to see if the officers and soldiers guarding the intersection have withdrawn." Mu Chenghu replied.
Wei Ran patted his chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to me." ”
Mu Chenghu arranged everything and let everyone rest.
The next day, the young generation of Mujia Village was busy clearing the wasteland, hunting, and burning charcoal. Under the supervision of Mu Qingshan, the older generation was led by Mu Qingliu to cut artemisia annua and pick herbs around the camp, while the children pestered Wei Ran under the leadership of Mu Yao to teach them basic skills.
