Chapter 317: Compassion in Troubled Times
After Gu Chengyu left, she found out that the silver ticket Gu Chengyu gave her was tens of thousands of taels. This is a huge amount of money, presumably he was going to use it to buy grain and grass.
Since she took the money, she couldn't just let it stay in her hands. Therefore, she directly took Gu Zhong to the town.
I haven't been to the town for a few months, and the entire town of Mochizuki is like a pool of stagnant water, all frozen at the bottom of the altar.
Everywhere was bare, and even the bark and grass roots on the mountains were eaten.
If she hadn't seen this scene, she wouldn't have believed that the drought was so severe. In contrast, they have not yet started eating tree bark in Xinghua Village.

I went to Piaoxiang Building first, and Piaoxiang Building has also closed down.
The shopkeeper opened the door, and the person also lost a lot of weight.
Seeing Zhou Ziyi coming, he finally showed a smile. "Girl, you haven't been here for a few days, are you okay?"
"Good!" Zhou Ziyi said, "What about the shopkeeper? β
"It's okay to have at least enough food to eat. Girl, you came to me, but something's wrong? β
"Yes!" Zhou Ziyi nodded, "There is a big drought everywhere now, and our village is also very serious. The big guy helped him scrape together some money, but he didn't know where to buy rice. I think you're a little more well-connected, can you show me the way? β
Shopkeeper Wen nodded, "You still have money to buy rice and grain, which is not bad, but I really have a friend who is from the north." The drought in the north is not very serious, and he may still have some grain in his hands, so I will find a way to help you inquire. β
"Good!" Zhou Ziyi nodded again and again.
"When I ask, I'll ask the little guy to go to Xinghua Village to inform you, you don't have to run anymore, it's not safe."
"Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."

After coming out of Piaoxiang Building, Zhou Ziyi found that several shops next door were also closed, and there was one with a white cloth.
Outside, a yellow-skinned woman with a son and a daughter was crying hoarsely.
Zhou Ziyi's heart sank, his eyes fell on the little sallow face, and his heart couldn't help jumping.
Thinking that when she was bullied by Zhou Ziwen and them, the neighbors in this neighborhood used to donate generously. At that time, she thought about helping them in the future, but now she ......
Just as she was thinking, the weeping woman suddenly tilted her body and fell straight down. The two children suddenly panicked, and the sallow-faced child hurriedly ran over and bowed to Zhou Ziyi.
"Sister, please save my mother! My father died, and my mother didn't eat for three days! β
Zhou Ziyi pursed her lips and hurriedly called Gu Zhong, "Bring some dry food." β
Gu Zhong hurriedly went to take out the steamed buns he made at home and handed them over. It took a few men a while to get the woman awake.
On the way back, Zhou Ziyi looked at Gu Zhong again, "Can you still get potatoes and sweet potato seeds?" β
Gu Zhong was stunned for a moment, "I'm going to ask about this." Now there is a great drought, and many of the avenues are gone. β
"Go and ask, and get as many as you can. The more the merrier. β
Gu Zhonghu was suspicious, "What does the girl want so many potatoes and sweet potatoes for?" Don't we have a seed? β
"Not enough, far from enough." Zhou Ziyi said.
Gu Chengyu and their side don't talk about it for the time being, if they win, this drought will not be solved overnight.
But if drought-tolerant crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes can be widely spread, at least more people will not starve to death.
She is not an easily willful person, but at this moment, she wants to do it first, whether it is for others or for herself.
