Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 37 037 The Secret of the Two

"I want a way out."

Mu Yu wanted to laugh, but felt that it was not appropriate to laugh at this time.

There is a way out, this is Yang Erlang's idea.

Sure enough, people who can become friends are more or less similar.

Yang Erlang wanted to have a way out, so when something happened to Huangsha City, he had a way to leave, so as not to be trapped in the city.

She also wants to have a way out, so she wants to store more food and goods in the mustard space, so that even in the worst times, she can find a deserted place to live well.

But both ideas have certain shortcomings.

She was sure that Yang Erlang couldn't solve the problem of food and water, and even if he escaped from Huangsha City, it would be difficult to continue.

And her thinking was too taken for granted, not to mention whether she could find a deserted place without being disturbed, she couldn't get out just because of the tall city walls of Huangsha City.

Well now, the two people's ideas are combined, which happens to be the prototype of a complete plan.

However, it is only a prototype, and there are still many places that need to be carefully considered in order to actually implement it.

"We're friends, right?"

Yang Erlang looked up at Mu Yu, his dark eyes were a bit dazed, as if he didn't understand why she asked such a question.

"You are my friend and my benefactor, always will be."

To be honest, Mu Yu looked at Yang Erlang's sincere and firm eyes and was a little moved. She hadn't heard the words "forever" so seriously for a long time.

But being moved is moved, whether to believe it or not is another matter.

"Can I trust you? Can you keep a secret for me?
A secret that is related to our future life and death, and allows us to survive in this troubled time. "

Yang Erlang sat up straight and said firmly,
"I can, and I will keep your secret forever."

"Then do you believe me?"

"I believe you."

"How much do you believe?"

Yang Erlang did not answer this question.

Mu Yu knew in his heart that this person really trusted her, but he was also unwilling to reveal his secret.

She regretted saying this a little bit.

There are some things that you can understand for yourself, there is no need to talk about it, once you talk about it, it will have no meaning.

Yang Erlang also noticed something, but he didn't say it.

The two were silent in agreement.

Until the end of the day, when the two were lying in the dark woodshed and about to fall asleep, Mu Yu heard Yang Erlang say,

"I can do anything for you, even die for you, in order to repay your kindness.

But I can't tell you my secret.

I promised my mother that I would never tell that secret. "

……

The day passed, and the two were still getting along as before.

If there is anything to say, it seems to be a little cold, but in fact, the trust between the two has actually gone a step further.

Brother Fei came to ask what was going on between the two of them, and had a big talk with Yang Erlang, such as "women's Taoist family" and "give way more".

Boss Zhao also came here and asked them if they lived well, and if he was loyal enough, and he used the word "brother" inside and out.

Mu Yu was not affected by these, and did what she had arranged in a step-by-step manner.

This day, I went to the East Street grocery store to exchange two catties of stale grains and two eggs.

Well, in fact, it was somewhat affected, and I didn't plan to change so many.

The reaction of the grandparents and grandchildren in the grocery store was naturally overjoyed, and they repeatedly asked her how many weeds she had and when she would ask her again.

She said that it would take about ten days until the next batch of weeds grew up. The two of them looked very disappointed, but she couldn't care less, and returned to the ruined temple with food and eggs.

In a few days, the wheat and millet in the mustard space also matured one after another, and she was busy harvesting again.

When the wheat and millet were planted, there was much more wheat and millet than rice, and the harvest of wheat and millet was naturally much more than rice, more than she expected.

The cloth bag of about five catties that she planned to use to hold the wheat was not enough. Fortunately, she had collected a lot of pots and pans in these days, and it was completely enough to hold them.

She was much more satisfied with this wave of gains than last time.

Although she didn't weigh it in detail, she roughly estimated that the wheat weighed more than ten catties, and the millet weighed half more than the wheat, so it was estimated to be about twenty catties.

These new grains exuding a unique aroma make people feel happy.

In addition to these, other products harvested include eight bundles of wheat stalks and millet stalks, and chaff that weighs seven or eight catties together.

She still didn't think of a proper way to deal with these, so she put them in the corner first.

Left and right in this mustard space, the rate of deterioration is very slow. Those rice stalks seven or eight days ago are similar to those when they were just cut, and they look like they can be preserved for a long time.

However, there is also one thing that worries her, that is, there is not enough land in the mustard space.

Of the original land of about [-] square meters, one-half was planted with rice, and about one-third was occupied by weeds. Only a small piece of land, which was originally planted with wheat and millet, was usable.

That is to say, the next harvest will not be much different from this time. It will still be about ten catties of millet and ten catties of wheat.

Although thinking about it this way, it seems to be pretty good, ten catties of millet, ten catties of wheat, thirty to forty catties of rice plus some chaff and straw, which is completely enough for two people to live, and there are every month.

Still, who wouldn't want more?

If I can feed two people, I want to feed more people, and I want to have enough food...

There really isn't enough land for this.

There is enough land outside, but let's not talk about the problem that she has no land to plant and has no security. It just means that in this severe drought that is rare in a hundred years, if there is not enough water, there is no way to grow anything.

You still have to work hard in the mustard space and find a way to upgrade.

Just how to upgrade?
This is not the first time she has thought about this question, but like the previous few times, she didn't come up with any ideas this time, so she had to shelve her thoughts again.

Even so, she was still satisfied.

One should not be too greedy, the current situation is much better than the past and other people, so let’s let the others go for now.

With this in mind, she passed the next few days quite smoothly.

However, in such a troubled world, the smooth days will not last too long, and troubles will come to the door within a few days.

Boss Zhao found her and wanted to "talk" with her about the source of the weeds, hoping she could tell where she found them. What he said was brotherly love, and he wanted to help each other if he couldn't survive.

Of course, no matter how nicely you say it, it won't change the nature of compulsion.

Yang Erlang kept his face sullen and didn't look at her, only to see her reaction.

Mu Yu believed that if she insisted on refusing at that time, Yang Erlang would really stand by her side.

Even though it's not going to happen, it's enough for him to have this attitude.
