Huff Town House

"Well, that's okay, what about Uncle Liu's house?"

"I sent half a bag of sweet potatoes over the past two days, and taught them to use coarse grains to make dry powder. When they are hungry, they can drink a bowl." However, after changing some clothes, Yunxiao seems to have some meat during this time, and it will not grow any longer. No, he simply changed some clothes for him and came back.

Yun Xiao understood that half a bag of sweet potatoes was enough for their family to eat for a long time, and it was better than starving to death.

"It's enough to survive this year. In the past two days, the bark in the mountains has been pried back and eaten."

It's not half a year, it's a year, the clouds are getting bigger, it's only the beginning of April, and May hasn't arrived yet, if I can't make it through, I'm afraid it will be...

There was a loud noise outside at night, and Yunxiao woke up. Xi Shaoyu was not in bed, and he didn't know where he went.

Yun Xiao pushed the wheelchair and went out. There was a fire outside, and there was no water to put out the fire. It might take a long time to say this.

"Why did you come out?" Xi Shaoyu was watching at the door, and when he saw him coming out, he walked over.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

"I don't know, that direction is the village chief's house. In this weather, there may be accidents in the neighborhood."

Yun Xiao patted his hand and said, "Go and have a look!" Xi Shaoyu immediately pushed him past, passing by Uncle Liu's house, Uncle Liu had just come back from the outside, seeing that they were about to pass, he hurriedly stopped him and said : "Xi boy, Yun boy, don't go, a bandit has entered the village, this is set on fire by the bandit, you go back and hide."

"What?" The bandits have entered the village?This disaster is even more sad than imagined. Moreover, the village chief's house is the head of the village, and once he enters, the consequences will be disastrous.

Yun Xiao didn't bother to look at it anymore, so he asked Xi Shaoyu to push him back. The food at home was all put away, and the kitchen was already empty.

"It's not a bandit, it's probably a refugee. Now many of them have left home, and if they can't, they're probably going to grab other people's food." The people outside have already been devastated.

It's just that Yunxiao doesn't know.

"We can pass!" Yun Xiao seemed to have a lot to say, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know what to say.

The next day, I heard that the village head's family had all died in the fire. Fortunately, the families next door had escaped. Otherwise, many people would have died. Now there are no homes. They found a few empty houses to live together.

But this is not a solution, there is no food, and it is better to die than to live and starve. One morning, the villagers discovered that a family had died at home.

Regarding this, everyone shook their heads one after another, not knowing what to say about it.

There is no village head in the village, and all other villages have run away, so Lizheng has no choice but to take over Mugen Village.

"It's not a way to go on like this!" Although the people in Mugen Village didn't run away, they were still guarding, but one after another, some people couldn't stand it and fell down, with no water to drink or food to eat.

Yun Xiao and Xi Shaoyu were walking on the path, and the village, which was originally full of vitality, now became lifeless.

"It doesn't rain, unless it's raining!" Xi Shaoyu pushed Yunxiao and walked. He only has Yunxiao in his eyes now, and if he lives well, everything will be fine.

Yun Xiao sighed helplessly, passing by Li Zheng's house, Li Zheng was thinking of a solution with other villagers.

"Xi Da is here!" Xi Shaoyu pushed Yunxiao in, and Li Zheng also greeted him. The well in Xi Shaoyu's house supplies water for the whole village. Now the water has dropped. What used to be two barrels of water a day has now become It took two days for a bucket of water, but he couldn't be blamed after all.

"Everyone, I have an idea, I wonder if you would like to listen to it."

Yun Xiao looked at everyone who was silent, and finally said something, the matter was caused by him, and the ending... Forget it, he doesn't have that much ability to accept it!

"Boy Yun, just say whatever you want!" Lizheng also broke the can, and now there is no other way.

"Didn't everyone go into the mountains to dig tree bark recently? I thought about digging it back up. It would be more unpalatable to eat like this. It's better to fry it after digging it up, grind it into powder, and soak it in water to drink. This way, it doesn't waste water, and it can also be eaten." Eat something to make sure you don't die of starvation or thirst."

Hearing this, Li Zheng also thought it was quite right, the bark was edible, and after being fried, it could be ground into powder and could be washed with water to drink.

"Be careful. There are not many other things in our village, but there are many trees. Let's dig them together and grind them into powder. There is still some water in Xi Xiaozi's well. We should be able to survive such a life."

Everyone also thought it was ok, their Mugen Village is a real Mugen Village, there are too many trees, maybe they can still starve to death.

"Success, let's go back and inform the mother-in-law at home, and go into the mountain to dig bark together."

Everyone started to move, and Xi Shaoyu also followed the group of people to dig bark. Although their family didn't eat it, they couldn't just do nothing.

"If you have food at home, you can put it in and fry it together. Don't put so much salt, or you will be thirsty." Yun Xiao shouted from the side, and started digging by himself. He dug slowly. Some small roots and bark are edible.

The ground has been cracked three feet wide, and it is not bad to have living things.

After digging for a long time, everyone was tired, so they sat down and chatted.

"If the village head hadn't told us to stockpile food last year, otherwise this year, I would probably run away like the village next door." Now every household still has some surplus food, but it's not a lot after all.

"Yeah, my family is the same. At that time, I didn't really believe that God didn't give us food. However, my old lady asked us to stockpile, and it was snowing lightly. She also asked us to go to the next village to buy a lot of rough grain and come back."

"My house too!"

Everyone agreed one after another, everyone said some more words, and then started working again.

Yun Xiao noticed that there were no three brothers from the old Xi family in this group of people.

"Why are the three brothers from Old Xi's family missing?"

"I don't know, I didn't see them today." They were all puzzled, could there be food at home?Can food be eaten until May and June?

The two dug very little, and the people in the village dug quite a lot. After returning to the village, just after washing all the bark, they heard someone from Lizheng call over, saying that the grain from the imperial court had arrived.

When everyone heard the news, their eyes were moist, and the court did not give up on them.After arriving at the grain drying field, Li Zheng was thanking the officers and soldiers, but no one dared to move. They were officers and soldiers, and they were afraid of officials, so how dare they move.After seeing off the officers and soldiers, Li Zheng looked at everyone and said with a blushing face, "Our Mugen Village has more than 90 households. It's a big village. The imperial court gave [-] shi of rice, about [-] to [-] jin of rice per household!"

When Li was saying this, his eyes were also red. The rice given to them was enough for them to eat for two or three months.

"There is rice. Don't waste the bark and roots we dug up today. I thought, let's add some rice and stir-fry with the bark, grind it into powder, and leave a few catties of rice, so that it can be eaten for a longer time."
