40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Among the villagers who lost their food, Wang Yulan and her friends were the most excited, asking when their lost food could be found and how long it would take to get the result.

The people sent by the town replied to the villagers that they would go back and investigate before giving an answer.

They knew that lost food would be difficult to recover, even if the criminals were caught.

During this period, especially after the locust plague, many families have reported that their homes have been robbed, and almost all of them have lost money and food.

We can't find out who the thief is!

The thief was found out, but the grain could not be recovered no matter what, so he would rather go to jail.

What's worse is that some people break the law just to go to jail, because they want to eat jail food, and eating jail food is better than starving to death.

There is almost no room for prisoners in the town's detention center.

This happened not long after the locust plague. If the drought continues and food is not replenished, the situation will be even more difficult to control!

The villagers who had lost their food dragged the government officials and kept asking them questions, but they were finally stopped by them violently and were allowed to leave with the prisoners.

After the thief was taken away, the villagers who had not slept well all night because of the thief went home to rest!

Dinner was ready and Yun Shasha came to call them, ending their conversation.

Before Yun Shasha went to cook dinner, Yun Feifei specifically told her to cook half of the rice she had just brought back, and to cook two kilograms of the large piece of fat meat. Everyone should have a good meal tonight to replenish their nutrition.

They felt sad after hearing this and wanted to persuade Yun Feifei not to waste food like that.

If they eat this meat sparingly, they can eat it for a long time with just a little bit of oil every day!!

Yun Feifei gave them a long speech to brainwash them. The four of them were stunned, but finally agreed to Yun Feifei's proposal.

After a pound of rice was cooked, the five siblings each got half a bowl of white rice.

The wild boar meat was fat and lean. Yun Shasha cut two pounds of pork into pieces and stir-fried it with only oil and salt. The greasy and brown color of the meat made Yun Feifei and the others hungry.

Each person can get 4 taels of pork, which is placed on the bowl of rice, making it look full.

Everyone couldn't wait to pick up their bowls and enjoy the food.

Yun Shasha is a person who knows how to live. After frying the pork, there is still a layer of lard on the bottom of the pot.

She simply added a spoonful of water and put a handful of wild vegetables in to make soup.

Everyone happily finished a bowl of pork with white rice, drank a bowl of oily wild vegetable soup, and patted their stomachs comfortably.

After eating and drinking, we all had a good sleep at night.

When she woke up the next day, Yun Feifei's food was not yet cooked, but Yun Guohua and the other three had already returned, and they all looked worried.

The water in the well was gone. After a night of storage, even the dirty water was gone, revealing the wet soil at the bottom of the well.

The villagers all ran far away and fetched water from the river.

After hearing what they said, Yun Feifei walked over to the water tank and opened the lid.

There was still half a tank of water left in the tank. Yun Feifei added some water into the tank while they were not paying attention, put the lid down, and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"There's still so much water in the tank. Let's not go to the river to fetch water today. Let's go tomorrow!!"

After hearing this, Yun Shasha moved closer. After seeing the water in the tank, she raised her hand suspiciously and scratched her head.

[She clearly remembered that when she washed rice and meat last night, there was not so much water when she came to get water!! Could she have seen it wrong? ? ]

When Yun Feifei saw Yun Shasha's look, she quickly changed the subject to prevent them from thinking too much.

"Okay, okay, everyone come and eat quickly. After eating, go and pay attention to their hunting in the mountains!"

Sure enough, they were diverted by what Yun Feifei said. To know whether they can continue to go up the mountain to look for food, they have to wait and see the results of their trip up the mountain today.

They hadn't finished their breakfast yet when they heard the sound of gongs.

Yun Feifei and the others immediately sped up their breakfast and rushed towards the direction where the gong sound came from.

When they arrived, there were already quite a few people gathered here.

The village chief was giving a brief explanation.

Yun Feifei saw several people in the team carrying long hunting rifles. The gun bodies were faded and seemed to be very old. Others were holding various weapons.

This time, the village organized a team of 12 people and headed up the mountain under the leadership of several hunters with hunting experience.

Everyone watched them go up the mountain and then dispersed.

Not long after Yun Feifei and the others returned home, Yun Guohua could no longer stay and picked up the bucket to go to the river to fetch water.

What he meant was that if they confirmed today that there was no problem on the mountain, then they would go up the mountain tomorrow to continue picking wild vegetables and looking for food.

Of course, the earlier you go up the mountain, the better. If you fetch water today, you don’t have to fetch water tomorrow.

Yun Shasha also agreed with what her second brother said. She also picked up the bucket beside her and wanted to go along.

The twins, a boy and a girl, had nothing to do at home, so they said they wanted to go along to take a look.

Seeing this, Yun Feifei followed their wishes and walked towards the river with them.

Along the way, we saw many villagers carrying water back.

It took nearly 18 minutes to walk from home to the river.

There were still many people drawing water by the river, and many of them stepped into the river and reached out to search for things in it.

Yun Lingling looked at the people who were looking for things in the river and asked, "Sister, what are they doing in the river?"

"There are fish in the river, and they are catching them to eat!"

While Yun Feifei was explaining, Yun Guohua saw someone catching fish in the river. He put down the bucket on his shoulder, took off his straw sandals, rolled up his trouser legs and stepped into the water.

"Hey, Guohua..." Yun Shasha shouted from the side, but he didn't listen!

Yun Feifei glanced at Yun Guohua and thought that as long as he didn't go too deep into the center of the river, he would be fine, so she didn't try to stop him.

Yun Feifei noticed that the water level at the riverside seemed to have shrunk a little closer to the center of the river compared to the previous two days.

The mud and sand at the bottom of the river were exposed, as were the corpses of many small underwater animals.

Yun Feifei's gaze suddenly fixed on the river not far away. She walked over quickly, reached into the water, and pulled out a big river clam.

I weighed it in my hand and found it was quite heavy. I could add a meat dish tonight.

During the time she stood on the water, she saw a lot of river shrimps in the river, but they seemed to sense the human presence and reacted quickly and ran away quickly.

Although the river shrimps are not big, a little bit adds up and we can catch a lot, so we will have an extra dish tonight.

Yun Feifei was in a hurry, so she walked into the water wearing her pair of straw sandals.

Yun Feifei could only walk to the shore, take off her shoes and dry them, pick up a bucket, fill it with some river water, and then put the clam in her hand into it.
