40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

When Yun Feifei came back, Yun Lingling came up to her immediately. When she saw the number of river shrimps in her elder sister's basket, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief and then looked again.

Really, she was not mistaken, the number of river shrimps increased.

"Sister, are these all ours?"

Seeing Yun Feifei nodding at her affirmatively, Yun Lingling was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"What are you so happy about?" Yun Shasha saw Yun Linlin's happy look from afar and asked.

Yun Lingling saw her third sister and twin brothers coming back and told them what had just happened.

At this moment, Yun Guohua also walked out of the river carrying a bucket of water.

The siblings whispered to each other, and after understanding the whole story, they were very angry about Yun Jiaojiao's behavior.

In order to prevent Wang Yulan and the others from rushing over to cause trouble for them, Yun Feifei did not go down to the river to salvage, but stayed beside the twins, waiting for their arrival.

Yun Feifei waited here for a long time, but did not see Wang Yulan and the others. She wondered if they did not come because she was here.

The salvage continued until four o'clock, when Yun Feifei was about to take everyone home, and no one came to cause trouble.

Today, without Yun Feifei's later salvage, and the river shrimps that Yun Feifei exchanged from Yun Guoqiang, their daily harvest was less than 200 kilograms.

During today's salvage process, Yun Feifei has felt that the number of shrimps in the river is getting smaller and smaller.

First, more and more people come to fish. Although there are many river shrimps and the reserves in the river are large, they cannot withstand the consumption of so many people.

Second, as more and more people gather by the river, river shrimps will naturally seek benefits and avoid harm, and will move elsewhere when they sense danger.

On this day, the aroma of meat wafted through every household in Yunjia Village. Yun Feifei's family had steamed spare ribs with wild vegetables and rice porridge, and the siblings had another hearty meal.

On the morning of the fourth day, after breakfast, everyone wanted to pack up and go to the river to catch shrimps, but Yun Feifei stopped them.

"No need to clean up, we're not going anywhere today, we'll just stay at home and dry the shrimps!!"

"Sister, why not go? There are so many river shrimps in the river. If we catch them and store them, they will provide us with food for a long time." Yun Guohua spoke first.

"Is it because I was there yesterday... to avoid breastfeeding... that Wang Yulan and the others didn't go?" Yun Lingling looked like she had done something wrong.

Yun Feifei raised her hand and touched Yun Lingling's forehead. "It's none of your business!"

Yun Feifei looked up at her four younger brothers and sisters.

"How much food do you think we have now?"

As soon as Yun Feifei said this, Yun Guohua and the other three lowered their heads and started calculating.

"Guoping, you speak."

"Dozens of kilograms of sweet potatoes, a sack of locust powder, four sacks of dried locusts, hundreds of kilograms of yam, hundreds of kilograms of shrimps..."

Yun Guoping spoke one by one, and the others listened and nodded.

"We have a lot of food, right? The locusts and shrimps are visible to everyone. If they catch the eyes of someone with ulterior motives, do you think we can protect our family with just the five of us?"

Yun Guohua and the others turned pale as they listened to what Yun Feifei said.

If a few scoundrels were to come to the house, not to mention whether they could keep their food, their safety would be in jeopardy...

"Sister, I'm not going anywhere today. I'm just working at home."

Yun Shasha understood Yun Feifei's meaning and quickly expressed her opinion. After hearing this, others quickly agreed.

Yun Feifei saw their performance and nodded with satisfaction.

Hehe, is Yun Feifei a coward?

The truth is that her space is already filled with river shrimps and other river delicacies, and it is almost full, so she needs to leave some spare space in case of emergency.

Going to catch river shrimps with Yun Guohua and the others was really a waste of time. She no longer cared about that little bit of profit.

Besides, they are children who are still growing up. They have been working continuously for so many days and it is time for them to take a rest.

So that day, the five siblings closed the door and processed the river shrimps at home.

Back at the river, because of the appearance of wild boars in the mountains, which posed a threat to human life, everyone was taking a wait-and-see attitude.

Now every household has surplus food and will not starve for the time being. No one will take their own life lightly.

In addition, if you want to find something edible in the mountains now, you have to go deep into the mountains.

It just so happened that river shrimps were a food that could fill the stomach and was not dangerous. Comparing the two, of course I would choose the safe one.

Soon, more and more villagers gathered in the river. In addition to the people from Yunjia Village, people from several nearby villages also joined in.

The reproduction rate of these river shrimps is not as fast as that of humans. In addition, some river shrimps have the nature of seeking benefits and avoiding harm, so they move to other places.

The catch of those who went fishing in the river that day was much less than the day before.

Even if the harvest is small, people will continue to go down to the river to catch fish until they find alternative food, rather than sitting at home and eating all the food.

The next day, after everyone spread the river shrimps on the ground in the yard, Yun Feifei suggested taking them for a walk in the town.

This suggestion made them very happy, as they had not been to town for a long time.

Especially the twins, a boy and a girl. They had only been to the town for a stroll when their parents were still alive. So much time had passed that they had long forgotten what the town looked like.

Yun Shasha glanced at the river shrimps that covered the yard, and was worried that if they all went out and no one was at home to look after them, if grandma came in again, then...

She had a mental struggle, then made a decision and told everyone about it, asking them to take the others with them while she stayed at home to take care of them.

"Let's go together, otherwise don't go at all!"

Yun Feifei didn't care. She had a feeling that Wang Yulan and the others were busy catching shrimps in the river and wouldn't come over for the time being.

Even if she asked them to come and steal the things, Yun Feifei had a way to steal them back, or rather, to get them back.

Finally, Yun Feifei and her group happily set out on the road to Qingshi Town.

Yun Feifei and a few others had to walk to Qingshi Town. It took them about half an hour to arrive.

Yun Feifei was worried about being recognized by people from her previous two visits to the town. After all, she had caught the attention of many people. In order to avoid attracting people to hurt the children, she wore a straw hat to cover herself up a little.

When Yun Guohua and his companions stepped into Qingshi Town, it was like a grandmother entering the Grand View Garden. Everything they saw was strange, as if they had never seen the world before.

A group of five people walked slowly along the bluestone road, looking here and there.

Yun Feifei looked at their expressions and pointed at the store they were looking at and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

However, they all shook their heads at Yun Feifei in unison, indicating that they would not go.
