Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 51 051 In exchange for two chickens

Mu Yu and Yang Erlang walked back in silence.

With the experience of coming, they bypassed the beggars they encountered before. They did not encounter these potential risks on the new road, but they encountered more silent existences.

A pile of dead bodies, many incomplete.

The visual impact is very strong, it is horrible, it can be called purgatory on earth, and people who are not determined will go crazy when they see it.

The impact on the sense of smell was also terrible, Mu Yu almost spat out at first, and then almost held his breath and suffocated himself to death.

Not all places are like ruined temples, and those who died are sent to places they can't see, at least places that they can't usually see.

Too many people died in troubled times and catastrophic years, and their families were all dead. Naturally, there would be no one to deal with the aftermath.

The two of them were hit by this kind of mood, and they tacitly stopped to rest in an uninhabited forest not far from the ruined temple. Generally, no one would pass by here.

Mu Yu digested silently, felt relieved, and turned to look at Yang Erlang.

Seeing that Yang Erlang was in a daze, and quite absorbed, he didn't notice that she was looking at him for a long time, so he pushed him,
"What are you thinking? So engrossed."

Yang Erlang was not angry, he had a rare hesitation on his face, but he soon became firm again.

"The man in black said when he gave me the jade pendant that he hoped to redeem the jade pendant with a thousand pieces of gold in Ruyi Square in Huangsha City three years later."

Mu Yu didn't expect such a thing, and said in surprise,

"You promised?"

Yang Erlang shook his head, "No."

Only then did Mu Yu heave a sigh of relief, and patted Yang Erlang's shoulder with satisfaction,

"Done right! It can't be changed, no matter how much he says, he can't go.

We bandaged his wounds, left food and water, and took away his long knife and jade pendant, and this matter is over, and we have nothing to do with each other.

Not only that, we don't want to go to that place again, and we don't want to mention this matter again. "

Yang Erlang nodded, looked at the long knife in his hand and said,

"Give me the sack, I'll go pick up some firewood, and when the time comes, put the knife in the sack and take it back as firewood."

Looking at Yang Erlang's back, Mu Yu wanted to tell about the mustard space for a moment, but it was only for a moment.

It's not the time yet, and it's not a good time, so let's wait.

……

The two returned to the ruined temple just like that, as if nothing happened, and indeed nothing happened.

Within two days, the millet and wheat in the mustard space ushered in the second ripening, and Mu Yu once again harvested more than ten catties of millet and wheat, as well as a pile of bran and grain stalks.

The millet is mature, and it is time to take it to the grocery store to exchange for hens and roosters to start a new stage. It is really impossible to live without meat.

Mu Yu changed his disguise familiarly, and went to the East Street grocery store with the newly harvested more than ten catties of millet.

The moment the old Wang opened the door and saw her, he sighed silently,
"Every time it takes so long to come, I always think you won't come.

Come in, what did you bring this time?Is there any new food? "

When Mu Yu waited for the door to be locked and saw that there was no outsider in the shop, he said, "Yes."

The old Wangtou's eyes lit up instantly,
"Take it out and show me, how many are there? Is it the same as last time?"

They were already acquaintances, so Mu Yu didn't make any fuss, just took out the ten catties of millet and a hundred weeds and put them on the counter.

In an instant, she felt that the brightness of the old Wangtou's eyes surpassed the burning candles, almost blinding her eyes.

When she looked again, she found that the old Wang's expression on her head was much more loving than at the beginning.

"Good boy, what are we going to change this time, is it old grain and eggs?"

Mu Yu shook his head and said,
"I would like to exchange two chickens."

"Chicken? Girl, it's not worth it. Chicken is much more expensive than Chen Liang, especially live chicken.

If you want to raise it, you still need to spend food. If you want to eat it, the weather can stay here for a long time. "

"I know, I want to change."

Seeing her insistence, the old Wang stared at her for a while, as if he was thinking about why she did this.

After a moment he said,
"Since you insist, come with me."

Mu Yu followed Old Wangtou to the backyard, and saw the chickens raised in captivity in the backyard, there were a dozen or so of them, and they were all a bit skinny.

She regained her energy and looked at the chickens carefully, trying to pick out the two most suitable ones.

"Look for yourself, tell my grandson which two you like, and catch them later, weigh them, and calculate the price.

Hey, Ah Fu, come out and catch the chicken for this girl! "

After the old Wangtou finished speaking, he went back to the shop to guard the new grain and weeds.

Mu Yu carefully selected a dozen or so chickens for a while, and chose a fat hen and a skinny rooster.

It's not that I don't want to choose a fatter cock, but there are only two cocks that are thinner than the other, and this is the relatively thinner one.

She pointed out the two chickens she had chosen to the guy A Fu, who was a little surprised on his face.

"Do you want a cock?"

Sensing something keenly, she asked,
"What happened to the cock?"

"No, it's nothing, but it may be more expensive."

As the buddy Ah Fu said, he grabbed the two chickens out with his hands. It was so fast and ruthless that the chickens were grabbed by the neck and pulled out before they had time to react.

"Why are roosters more expensive? Shouldn't it be that hens are more expensive? Hens can still lay eggs."

The guy Afu said to her while tying the chicken with a rope,
"Because it's rare, it's expensive.

If it is used to eat, you can choose two hens. "

"No, cock."

What she wants is a steady stream of chickens and eggs, and the more expensive ones, the more expensive ones.

Mu Yu returned to the shop with the bundled chicken, Old Wang smiled, as if he had expected this situation long ago.

The two came and went and bargained for a while, and finally reached a deal. The two chickens plus ten eggs and half a bag of bran were exchanged for more than ten catties of new grain and one hundred weeds.

Both sides are quite satisfied.

"In the future, there will be good things like weeds and new grains. Don't forget my old Wangtou. I have many other good things besides eggs and old grains!"

Mu Yu nodded at him with a big bag, of course there are many good things in the grocery store, but she still can't afford them now.

Selling that piece of jade pendant can exchange some money, but in this disaster year, no matter how good things are, don't expect to sell for a good price.

The money is low, it's dangerous, and it's not worth it, so she won't do it.

It is better to take it slowly, and when the millet matures next month, there will be more millet planted this time, and there will be nothing to exchange.

Besides, the key task this month is to raise chickens and hatch eggs.

She hurriedly came to the corner she had found long ago and entered the mustard space. She couldn't wait to open the sack and began to untie the ropes on the two chickens.

As early as two days ago, she had prepared the pen in the space, just waiting for the chickens to live in it.

It's just that she was untying the rope, and suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why is the chicken not moving?
