Chapter 82: Another Refugee
Early the next morning, Zero One set off with a group of people, leaving only a few people to guard the crowd and goods.
And they were not idle, storing food and water.
There are a lot of rice noodles, and they are half the way, and no one knows how long the rest of the road will take and what kind of environment it will be.
So both food and water should be stored.
Potatoes are stored for a long time, so they don't need to be cooked, and when the time comes, they can be roasted by lighting a fire.
They made some flower rolls and steamed buns, and the weather was so hot that they could only eat them for three or four days.
There are not many vegetables left, and some can be collected in the mountains.
After Yunsheng stumbled upon potatoes, these people are particularly keen to find plants they don't know.
Yunshang glanced at the plants collected by Chunmei, and couldn't help but laugh, "Chunmei, you don't have to ask me every one, I also accidentally saw the picture of potato leaves before, and I only knew it, and the rest of me may not be as good as zero one them." ”
Chunmei said with a smile, "It's okay, maybe I met someone my wife knows?" I'll show you later. ”
Yunshang was speechless, "Why don't you go and ask the doctor?" ”
Not to mention, these people really found some medicinal herbs.
The doctor also likes to study these things, even if there are some people he doesn't know, he puts them away, and even asks people to find a mouse and experiment with those medicines.
Well, Rui'er doesn't like mice, he doesn't want to go to the doctor, he actually likes the doctor.
The doctor has no children and no daughters, and treats Rui'er like a grandson, giving him all good things.
Rui'er is very open, whether it is Chunlan Chunmei, these little maids, or the midwife, the king's shopkeeper, or the zero one, each of them can be coaxed to give him something.
The little guy's little mouth is very sweet, his brothers and sisters are screaming, his face is smiling, plus he has eaten a lot recently, his little face is meaty, very cute, wearing the small clothes made for him by Chunmei, the whole little Fuwa.
Yunshang didn't say that she wanted to adopt Rui'er, and when she got to the place, Yunshang officially told the little guy.
Rui'er is very sticky, she follows her every day, eats and sleeps together, and even Mo Xuan is starting to be jealous.
But seeing Yunshang being teased and laughing every day, and eating more than usual, he could only endure his sadness and occasionally improve the food for the two.
On this day, everyone was baking potatoes, and to be honest, the potatoes were really fragrant, but they would always get tired of eating, so they could only change the taste occasionally.
However, the aroma of baked potatoes is not something that everyone can resist.
On this day, the aroma of potatoes attracts a group of uninvited guests.
These people include young and old, as well as young children in their arms.
These people look at food with greed and possessiveness, but they have no murderous intent.
These people were very well-behaved, and an old man stepped forward, speaking Mandarin that was not very fluent, and bowed his hand.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we fled from Xiaowang Village, where did you find this food? Anything else? ”
"If not, can the old man exchange some with you? Children and the elderly can't stand the hunger and need to eat some human food. ”
The old man's vision was very good, and he immediately recognized Mo Xuan as the leader of the crowd, and this was also said to Mo Xuan.
Mo Xuan's eyes were surprised, and he came back to his senses and saluted, "Uncle don't be so polite, I still have some food here, which was collected from the mountain next to me, and I can give you some." ”
"Thank you, Childe."
The old man was overjoyed and bowed deeply to thank him.
Turning back to the crowd, the crowd soon cheered.
Mo Xuan asked someone to divide the food, in addition to potatoes, he also sent some noodles and rice, not much, only to make some noodles and glad.
These alone have been thanked over and over again by everyone, and almost everyone who helped them will thank them.
These people have strong accents, but they are able to understand somewhat.
Yunshang saw a doll of a few months sitting in her mother's arms drinking rice soup, and her mother was reluctant to take a sip.
Yunshang felt sad for a while, if it wasn't for the last resort, who would want to leave his hometown?
These people are all yellow and thin, but it can be seen that these people are kind.
The children eat first, and then the elderly, and each one will be humble to each other.
Until they ate the baked potatoes, everyone's eyes brightened a little, and they were a little full.
It's been a long time since they've eaten so full.
Although they were not completely full, the rest of the people were put away and kept for later.
The old man walked over again, looked at Mo Xuan with a grateful face, and thanked him deeply, "This son, thank you very much, these are our life-saving food." ”
Mo Xuan waved his hand, "Uncle don't have to be polite, at this moment, it is right to help each other!" ”
The old man hesitated for a long time and said, "Childe, I wonder if we can go to the mountain to have a look?" ”
"Feel free!"
Mo Xuan didn't stop it, and the mountain was not his family's, "My people are on the mountain, I will let people take you, in case you meet you, you can say hello." ”
"Thank you, Childe."
Mo Xuan nodded, "By the way, we call this thing a potato, as you can see, it can be full, this thing can be planted, and the ripening time is short, and the leaves can also be eaten, but the taste is slightly worse." ”
"The seed is this potato, cut into pieces, planted in the soil, and it grows."
The old man's face flashed with shock, and he bent down at ninety degrees to salute, "Thank you Gongzi for telling us, if we can survive, we will definitely worship Gongzi's immortal tablet." ”
After saying that, he said goodbye and returned to the team, found a few young and strong people, and followed Mo Xuan's side up the mountain.
Deliberately took people in the other direction, with zero one of their urine, it is estimated that the potatoes will not be found in the places they pass.
The two groups of people can be said to be distinct, and the old man has nothing to do and Mo Xuan talked again.
The old man wanted to know everyone's intentions, and Mo Xuan wanted to know the situation of the disaster here.
"Childe, is this going for business? The old man told you, go back, there are few shops here that can afford to buy. ”
The old man sighed, his eyes full of vicissitudes and confusion about the future.
Although Xiaowang Village is not particularly wealthy, this year's disaster was particularly severe, a flood did not take too many lives, but the land was flooded and could not be planted, so he had to leave his hometown with the whole village.
But how easy is it to find a place where people can accommodate it?
Hearing the melancholy in his tone, Mo Xuan didn't know how to comfort him.
After a while, the old man suddenly came back to his senses and said apologetically, "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm old, and the topic is endless, so forgive me." ”
Mo Xuan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, can the old man continue?" I don't know much about this place! ”
The old man put his mind at ease, although this person was wearing a linen clothes, but his temperament was different, he was really afraid of accidentally offending people, after all, the son in front of him was their benefactor.
"We have a lot of floods here, and as you can see, there are too few places to plant, and there are barren mountains all around, and there are no plants, so you can't even hunt."
The old man smiled bitterly and talked about the current situation here.
"Normally, the land can sustain people from starving, but this time it was flooded first, and then there was drought, and the land was completely unusable, and there was a plague in some places, and many people died."
