Chapter 193: Hunger is not a joke
Tao Xi had just stepped out of the room as soon as he was fully armed, and he found that Jian Shiming and the others had returned.
It's just that everyone came in listlessly and with their heads drooping, as if they were being bullied.
"What's wrong with you?"
Tao Xi put down the sleigh and wanted to go over, but was stopped by Jian Shiming, "Don't move." ”
After saying that, he slid back quickly, and hung her and his sleigh on the wall.
Erni said that it is best for girls not to get wet and cold these days, the weather cannot be changed, only to keep her warm.
"Sister-in-law, this is the material sent today."
Jian Shiwu took out three potatoes and two sweet potatoes from the basket he was carrying, while Wang Zhou took out one of his sweet potatoes.
Taoxi: ???
Didn't she sell Gu Yan so much grain? How did you get it so much?!!
"Let's go in first."
Jian Shiming was afraid that his hands were too frozen for her, so he just gently pulled Taoxi's sleeve.
Tao Xi followed everyone into the house with a confused face, and quickly reacted and poured the warm hot tea on the fire for everyone.
"Come, warm up first."
"Thank you, sister-in-law."
Jian Erni and the others don't even have the strength to blow the rainbow fart at this time, and their spirits are not very good.
Tao Xi could only look at Jian Shiming and asked suspiciously, "What's going on?" ”
"Do you know how many people there are in Yun County?" Jian Shiming rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, he was too optimistic.
This Tao Xi really didn't know, she shook her head honestly, and Jian Shiming muttered:
"Of the 300,000 people, 50,000 are refugees who fled at the beginning."
There are not many refugees in Yun County, and millions of people have fled from their hometowns.
Tao Xi was stunned, her eyes widened slightly, and her mouth opened slightly, this was information she didn't know before.
Although she has some plots in the original book, they are not perfect, and she is short of pounds and pounds, and she only knows how difficult these people are when she is in it.
Hunger is not a joke, and even eating is not fake.
"We were overly optimistic."
Jian Shiming didn't say anything, after all, there was still Wang Zhou here, and he didn't know that the seeds and food were provided by Tao Xi.
But Tao Xi understood, she was silent and did not speak, it seems that the next days will not be easy.
A few children sat there listlessly roasting the fire, and at noon, Tao Xi did not cook the meat, but went to the kitchen, and then took out the dried sweet potatoes he had made before from the space for everyone.
Although the taste is already good, it still tastes like chewing wax for everyone.
When Tao Xi took the opportunity to go to the thatched house again and changed his aunt's towel from the space, he saw Jian Shiming standing at the door.
"I'm sorry, I think I'm too optimistic, the little grain you sold to Brother Gu before was really a drop in the bucket for Yunxian County."
"It has nothing to do with you."
Tao Xi is not stupid, so it is naturally no wonder that Jian Shiming is doing this, but I am afraid that the next days will be difficult.
She sighed slightly, "The situation is still like this, as long as there is no food and clothing for a day, our small family is not safe." ”
Now don't talk about Lishu Village, even Taomu Village may even have people who lose their humanity for a bite to eat.
Tao Xi still remembers the scene of mourning and starvation when he first crossed over, and his scalp tingles when he thinks about it.
"Well, we can't manage that much, let's take care of our own small family first."
Jian Shiming nodded, he didn't want to help everyone, but there was no way, everyone couldn't protect themselves at this time.
Tao Xi's brain was excited, and he remembered that their family had left half of the wild boar meat a year ago, "Should they come to our house to grab food?" ”
Tao Xi watched a disaster movie in his previous life, and the people were hungry in the drought, so they could only rush to grab big households.
And now in Taomu Village, except for Chen Orion's family, their family's grain should be the richest.
"Possibly."
Jian Shiming's face was strained, obviously thinking that Tao Xi was right, and worry flashed in their eyes at the same time, but they were quickly distracted by Xu Lizheng's knock outside the door.
"Lizheng."
Jian Shiming slipped over and opened the courtyard door, brought Li Zheng in, and the three of them entered the house, looking at a few children in the house chewing dried sweet potatoes, Xu Li Zheng sighed with a sad face.
"Well, what a time this day is?"
Tao Xi and Jian Shiming glanced at each other and didn't speak, they were waiting for Xu Li to say what he meant first.
Sure enough, Xu Lizheng wiped his face embarrassedly, "Brother Ming, I don't have that face to make excessive requests."
I just want to discuss with you, if the people from Lishu Village come to grab food, what should we do? ”
Xu Lizheng was not wrong in thinking, when he was hungry, where was there so much humanity.
And the people of Lishu Village are not easy to talk to.
"So far, we can only take precautions, if they come to rob, we will fight out!"
Tao Xi waved her little fist, all she could do was to protect her small family now.
"My lady is right, that's the only way to do it for now."
It is impossible for Jian Shiming to give food to others, and those who have experienced disasters know the importance of food.
Jian Shiming hasn't been generous to that point.
"Well, then I'll go and talk to everyone, and be vigilant at night."
Xu Li was sighing and leaving, and as soon as he left, Tao Xi saw Hu Ziniang waiting outside the door.
Hu Ziniang came here, her trouser legs were already wet, and the whole person was so cold that she was swaying.
Jian Erni brought people in, and she felt the warmth when the fire was baked, but looking at Tao Xi's eyes that could see through people's hearts, she didn't know how to speak.
"Auntie, the situation outside is not very good now, you should come out less if you are okay, so as not to get frostbite."
Tao Xi didn't seem to see her careful thoughts, "We don't have frostbite medicine either, and the days ahead will be difficult." ”
"I know."
Hu Ziniang's lips trembled slightly, she held the hot water poured by Jian Erni, that's right, as early as after thinking about the situation, Tao Xi explained that everyone can't be extravagant.
It is no longer ginger tea that is drunk, but boiled water, so as not to be seen by others.
Huzi Niang looked at Tao Xi pitifully, "But my Huzi is too hungry and thin, and there is no half of the flesh on his body, only skin and bones."
I just thought of coming to your house and asking, can you lend me a little meat, a little bit, and I will definitely return the grain to you after the year. ”
As soon as he opened his mouth, the words behind him were neat, and Hu Ziniang's black and shining eyes were full of hope.
Tao Xi said in his heart Sure enough, this is the first day that the materials have been distributed, and people's hearts have begun to float.
"I'm sorry, auntie, we don't have any meat to eat in our family now."
Tao Xi explained: "At the beginning, we didn't expect a snow disaster, so we pulled half of the wild boar meat to the county and sold more than half of it.
I didn't think that Xianggong was a showman, and maybe he was going to take the township test soon, so I was preparing travel expenses for him.
If we had known about this, we would have to keep our meat for it. ”
It's not that she's cold-hearted, but now the people in this village, including Lishu Village, are watching her family's movements.
If it is given to Hu Ziniang, their family is afraid that they will not be able to live in peace.
