Seeing that they didn't take it seriously, Lin Shiyu didn't say anything more.

Everything she did was based on the plot in the novel.

But novels are novels, and reality is reality.

Things described in novels may not necessarily happen as described in reality.

The heroines in the novel are all dead, so it’s not surprising that the plot may have collapsed long ago.

The patients were almost fully recovered, so Lin Shiyu and Liu followed the group out to pick wild vegetables.

The two natural disasters left the villagers with no food left at home. Although everyone tried hard to make amends after the typhoon, the effect was not great.

They didn't even have to wait until the autumn harvest to foresee that there would be almost no harvest.

The pressure of taxation is no longer the main concern of the people. What they are most worried about right now is whether they will starve to death.

In the face of life and death, those things are not important.

Lin Shiyu really didn't understand their contradictory mentality.

When illness or injury threatens their lives, they just give up.

But because they could starve to death, they thought their lives became precious.

"Have you heard? Rice is now sold for two hundred coins per pound."

During the break, one of the women started a conversation.

"You are out of date. My husband went to the market today and sold for three hundred coins."

The other woman puffed out her chest and told her the latest news.

"hiss!"

The conversation between the two made the rest of the team gasp.

Three hundred coins!

A pound!

Wouldn't that mean that if you sell ten kilograms, you can get three taels of silver?

Three taels of silver was a year's income for an ordinary family like them.

"Where are they selling it? I'll ask my husband to go and have a look." Someone in the team became interested after hearing the news.

"Aunt Li Si, do you have any food left? Sell some to me at a lower price."

Hearing this, Aunt Li Si knew she had said something wrong and denied it repeatedly: "There is no food left. If there was food, why would I need to come out to look for wild vegetables?"

No one believed what she said.

But the other women echoed, "That's true. If there is still food at home, who would want to eat these bitter wild vegetables?"

"Yes, yes."

Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief when everyone responded, fearing that her words would bring trouble to her family.

After they had rested enough, they decided to go home.

They picked wild vegetables mainly to survive this period. After all, no matter how big the vegetables are planted in the family garden, if there is no staple food every day, no matter how much vegetables are grown, they will not be enough for the family to eat.

After a while, when the vegetables in the field grow, they won’t have to come anymore.

In order to reduce the losses, the fields devastated by the typhoon were salvaged if possible, and those that could not be salvaged were planted with other crops or fruits and vegetables.

Lin Shiyu was also tired, so she simply went home with Liu.

The fact was that she was hungry and wanted to go home for lunch.

People here don't have the habit of eating lunch. If the group of people just now hadn't asked to go home, she would really feel embarrassed to mention the idea of ​​going home, especially since they went home to have lunch.

After lunch, Liu went to rest. She hadn't been outside for such a long time in a while. She couldn't bear it for a while, so she lay down on the bed.

Lin Shiyu returned to her room. Since there were no new herbs for her to prepare, she had plenty of time, so she could make some medicine to carry with her.

"Little sister, the village chief is looking for you."

Just as she sat down, Lin Boyu came over and knocked on the door looking for her.

Originally he wanted to call Liu, but Liu was sleeping too deeply, and the village chief said it would be the same if he called Lin Shiyu.

The two arrived at the lobby, where the village chief was already waiting.

“Is it time to distribute food now?”

Many families in the village have run out of food, and eating those vegetables every day is not enough to fill their stomachs.

It's okay for adults, but it's not the same for children. As soon as the village chief goes out, he sees how people live, and he feels compassion.

It would be fine if everyone was without food, but the village had already prepared food but didn't take it out, causing everyone to suffer. The village chief Duoduo always felt uncomfortable.

"Wait a minute."

"How long do we have to wait? If we wait any longer, everyone will starve to death." The village chief's tone was not very good.

He knew that the Lin family had stored food and could eat three meals a day.

A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. She may say "wait a little longer", but the villagers are living day by day.

Lin Shiyu was startled by the village chief's sudden temper, but thinking about the burden on him, she thought he was just under too much pressure, so she didn't mind his sudden anger and instead talked to him about the casual conversation they had had when they went to pick wild vegetables today.

"The price of grain is alarming right now. Some people are thinking about exchanging grain for silver. If you distribute grain now, are you sure they are more likely to use it to fill their stomachs or to sell it for silver?"

Money moves people's hearts!

Especially for the villagers who have never been rich, how can they resist such temptation?

"Which idiot wants to sell food? I'm so pissed!"

The village chief left angrily. It was no surprise that he was going to hold a mobilization meeting and do ideological work for the villagers again.

.......

For several days in a row, Lin Shiyu dragged Liu outside to look for wild vegetables.

Storing food is secondary, and exercising is the main reason.

I originally wanted to bring Lin Boyu along, but he refused.

"I have missed a lot of knowledge, but I don't have enough time to go out."

After coming to his senses, Lin Boyu has been regretting the time he wasted in his youth, and now he tries to make up for it as much as possible.

Going out would only waste his time.

"It's not good for your health to stay indoors all the time. Without a strong body, you won't be able to endure the scientific expedition."

Even though Lin Shiyu said this, Lin Boyu still refused.

However, he did not stay in the house all the time. Every once in a while, he would go to the yard to practice the Five Animal Exercises taught by Lin Shiyu.

As the newly planted vegetables began to slowly emerge, there were fewer and fewer people picking wild vegetables in the village.

With fewer people around, Liu was unwilling to go out anymore.

She always feels that it is unsafe outside and only feels safe when she stays at home.

Liu didn't want to go out, and Lin Shiyu didn't force her. She asked Liu to stay at home and dry the wild vegetables while she, Sun and Lin Shiyi continued to go out to pick wild vegetables.

A few days ago, Lin Anji, for some reason, started to raise the height of his own yard wall and imitated the third room in making a linen isolation belt.

Sun and Lin Shiyi were helping out at home, and only today did they have time to go out.

The big house was originally next to the third house, so for the isolation belt, Lin Anji only needed to pile it from the area behind the third house to the area behind his own house.

It is not necessary on the sides of the house, and the project will be much faster.

"My father wanted to raise the barrier higher and put it behind the houses in the upper half of the village, but the villagers didn't want to."

Lin Shiyi started complaining as soon as she saw Lin Shiyu.

They don't have to do anything, but the villagers are still complaining. It's so annoying.

"Why aren't they willing?" Lin Shiyu continued the conversation as she asked the question.

"It's in their way. We put up that barrier so they have to take a detour to collect firewood in the back forest."

Lin Shiyi felt that they were being ungrateful. It was just a detour, wasn't it? Compared to life safety, what was a detour? !

Lin Shiyi treated Lin Shiyu's words as an "imperial decree", thinking that if she said she could stop the wild beast, then there would be danger. She completely failed to consider that the villagers did not believe Lin Shiyu's words at all.

This led to her having this perception.

"It does get in their way and makes it inconvenient for them to get in and out." Li Shiyu nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Lin Shiyu was in agreement, Lin Shiyi stopped nagging.

Sister Shiyu didn't say anything, which means it's no longer a big deal.

The three of them carried baskets and picked whatever wild vegetables they saw along the way. In less than half a day, the baskets were full.

"It would be great if grains could grow easily like wild vegetables."

Sun sighed.

They are all plants, but why is it so difficult for them to grow when they are carefully cared for in the fields? A little strong wind and heavy rain will result in nothing, while these outside are still everywhere even if no one cares about them.

"This is the difference between being pampered and being raised in a free-range environment. Those who were raised in a free-range environment are the ones who survived through elimination. In places where we can't see them, there are countless people who were eliminated."
