Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 27 027 The harvest is coming
Mu Yu's exchange business has stabilized like this.

With Brother Bo, everything went smoothly without any trouble.

She now takes more than a hundred weeds home every day, except for the cornbreads and those reserved for a few children, and she can basically get clothes, water pots, bran and other useful things every day, bowls, Not to mention these common cups.

After a few days, she accumulated a lot of things.

She kept those things that are commonly used in daily life and those that are basically not used outside, and took most of the things into the mustard space. When someone asked about these things, she would just say "dispose of them". send off.

Everything else is fine, except that there are more and more people secretly following her every morning, and the distance between them is getting farther and farther away.

But it's not a big deal, these people dare not chase her up and ask her, and they will go back if they don't follow up to the end, it's just that she has to walk a little bit more every day, it's trivial.

Unfortunately, such a stable life ended after only half a month.

From the end of April to the middle of May, the weather gets hotter and hotter.

If the temperature was not too bad when she first wore it, but now it is a bit hot. This change is not insignificant, and the impact it brings is also very significant.

There are more shirtless beggars in the ruined temple, and more people come to her to trade clothes, and they can receive four or five pieces of clothes in more than a day.

There were also more beggars paralyzing in the shade of the ruined temple during the day, because what they gained after going out for a day was not worth the consumption of this trip, and those who went out to find food starved to death faster than those who stayed in the ruined temple.

There are fewer people in the ruined temple, and the stench around the ruined temple is heavier...

Mu Yu is not stupid, she knows what this means, but she doesn't have a good solution.

She can save ten or eight people for a while, but what about in the future?What about the rest?What about herself?

It wasn't the wise thing to do, but the wise way she hadn't thought of yet.

This day Yang Erlang and Brother Bo came back earlier than usual.

Brother Fei still brought two corn buns to exchange weeds with her, but this time he didn't stay to eat with them, but just nodded and went back to the east room.

She asked Yang Erlang,
"Brother Boil looked worried, did something happen?"

Yang Erlang was originally expressionless, but when he heard the words, he softened a bit and said calmly,

"There will be no more porridge on the East Street.

The nearby streets and alleys began to drive out beggars. "

Mu Yu was taken aback, this is two bad news.

The living environment of the beggars is already very poor, and these two news have further squeezed their limited living space.

Moreover, this news has a direct impact on her and Yang Erlang, directly affecting Yang Erlang's food source, and also affecting Brother Bo's food source.

It's true that Brother Bo likes to eat weeds, but if he doesn't get enough food, he won't trade for weeds anymore.

Of course, there is another possibility that is even worse. If she really gets to that point, she will probably be in some trouble.

For example, someone would force her to tell where she found the weeds.

She came back to her senses, looked at Yang Erlang's calm face, and asked him,

"Then what are we going to do?"

Yang Erlang looked a little too calm, even calmer than her, who was in her thirties and had a hole card, making one have to suspect that he had already had a way to deal with it, and it was a very perfect one.

Yang Erlang didn't answer her question right away, but sat down and drank a bowl of water with his head up, raised his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then sat there in a daze.

Although the weather was hot at this time, he was still dressed tightly.

Mu Yu looked at him carefully, from top to bottom.

At this time, a month has passed since the two became friends and relied on each other. Yang Erlang looked much better than a month ago. Although he was still thin, his face had some flesh, and his eyes faded and became fragile. more firm.

Yang Erlang is only fifteen or sixteen years old, his body has not yet fully grown, he is only half a head taller than her, and his shoulders are not very broad, but his inner soul has already matured in advance under the catalysis of many sufferings.

Mu Yu softened his eyes a little, squatted down beside Yang Erlang, and put his hands on his shoulders.

"You have ideas, don't you?"

Yang Erlang turned his head slowly, and nodded hesitantly.

Mu Yu knew that he did have ideas, but it might not be sure enough, but knowing these was enough.

She felt a lot more relaxed, and with a smile on her lips, she sat down beside Yang Erlang and started to eat dinner silently.

……

It was very hot.

Mu Yu stopped again to wipe her sweat, both of her sleeves were soaked with sweat.

She didn't wear much, and she didn't walk very far, but she sweated so much. If she hadn't had the spring water in the mustard space as a supplement, she might not be able to walk long ago, just like those who followed her before but now Like beggars who disappeared without a trace.

She paused for a while in the small shadow of a dead tree, then walked on until she came to a small hidden cave nearby.

She hid in the cave, and then entered the mustard space.

The moment one enters, the scorching heat is isolated, and the mustard space is not hot, which is suitable for the cool spring. I didn't pay much attention to it before, but now it is a rare benefit.

However, she hadn't been intoxicated in this coolness for too long, there were far more intoxicating existences than this.

For example, the lush greenery that almost occupies the entire space!

After more than half a month, she has owned more than 1000 weeds, occupying nearly one-third of the land!
She can take out more than 300 weeds every day, but the situation does not allow it. The number of people who come to exchange recently is not as large as before, and the transaction volume generally does not exceed [-], and there are other considerations, so it is impossible to make the most of it. stand up.

However, weeds themselves are a kind of resource, and if they are not traded there, they will not lose money.

In addition to these weeds, she also owns more than 50 rice plants, more than 120 millet plants, and more than 140 wheat plants, which also occupy nearly one-third of the land!
She carefully served these hard-won grains for a while, waiting for them to ripen and bring more grain.

Rice, millet, wheat and other food crops usually take about three to five months from planting to maturity. According to the estimation that the maturity speed inside the mustard space is more than three times faster than outside, it only takes about one month. Then you can mature!

Among them, rice takes the shortest time and is also the first to be planted. It has been 24 to [-] days.

The fact is just as she estimated, the rice has already produced tassels, although it is not very big and firm, but it is enough, and anyone can see the harvest in a few days.

Except for rice, although millet and wheat are one step behind, they have all grown up, and it won't be long before we can usher in a bumper harvest.

She was in it and felt comfortable physically and mentally, which was her confidence to deal with future disasters.

When the food grows, she can get food without relying on anyone. At that time, it is really possible to take three or five people to find a deserted mountain and live in seclusion.

However, that was what she did after she was really desperate. Before that, she still wanted to try to see if there was another way to survive.

For example, can Yang Erlang's idea be realized?Would it be better?
