Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 54 054 Preparation for leaving

Leaving Huangsha City, and then fleeing famine, finding a safe place to stay, and starting a new life, every step of the way is difficult.

Mu Yu was thinking about the preparations they needed to make.

First is food and water, which are essential.At present, the amount she has is far from enough to consume as expected.

As for water, in addition to the daily additions in the mustard space, she also stored the unused ones in buckets and water tanks, but the quantity is not very large, that is, the amount used by ten people for ten days .

In terms of food, apart from the two fractions of land in the mustard space, which can mature once a month to provide hundreds of catties of new grain and more than a hundred plants of weeds every day, it is the small forty catties of old grain she bought from the grocery store and the previous harvest. The forty to fifty catties of rice, according to consumption, is about the same as the time that water can be used.

Also, people need to eat salt.

In the past two months or so, she rarely ate salt, and she obviously felt physically weak. She is fine now, but if she flees famine, she can't go on like this. She must get some salt to eat.

The price of official salt in ancient times has always been high, which is another big expense.

The second most important thing is people. There are many more dangers on the way to escape than in Huangsha City. For safety, it is best to hug together to keep warm and resist all kinds of dangers that may be encountered on the road together.

But to be honest, don't look at her getting along well with many people in the ruined temple. Most of them are very kind to her, but if they really want to ask these people to go with her, I'm afraid there will not be even ten people who agree.

Some people may want to stay and watch the situation, and feel that the situation is not necessarily so bad, but going out to flee the famine will be more uncertain and possibly more dangerous;
Some people are hesitant, want to leave but also want to stay, they must be given evidence to prove that Huangsha City is really going to be finished before they are willing to leave;
Some people may want to leave, but they can't go far without eating or drinking;
Some people will ask, if there is no place to go, is it guaranteed to survive?If you can't survive, why bother?
If too few people follow her in the end, it will not be able to deter other refugees, and there will be many potential risks on the road.

But if there are too many people following her, there will inevitably be many people who are not familiar with her and who are not well controlled. This situation will be even more problematic.

The last and most critical question is that if she really wants to lead people to flee famine, she will definitely support a certain amount of food and water, but at that time it will be different from being in the ruined temple now.

Now I can still use excuses to go to a fixed place to fetch water and find weeds in a fixed place, but when fleeing famine on the road, the places I go to are different every day, can I still find water and weeds anytime and anywhere?
Who can guarantee that water and weeds can be found every time?

Probably only fairies.

What's more, it's all about giving weeds and water, and new food is another kind of trouble.

Give food, how to give it, can you directly promise?cannot.

She is still hesitant to expose the existence of the mustard space to Yang Erlang, is it okay to expose it to so many people?
……

Mu Yu's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Apart from these, there are many other problems that need to be considered and resolved. If you really plan to leave Huangsha City, you have to make a lot of preparations.

But no matter how much preparation you have and how difficult the problem is to solve, even if you can't solve it, those who should leave still have to leave.

"Don't worry about other things. I'll think about food and water. Now let's confirm who will leave with us."

Yang Erlang had no objection to her statement, just nodded and said,

"it is good."

……

Mu Yu began to spend a lot of time chatting with the people in the ruined temple.

She asked them how they were doing recently, about the latest news outside, about their thoughts on those who left Huangsha City, about their thoughts on the future...

She originally wanted to use hints and lures to make them consider leaving together to flee famine, but it turned out that there were not many people who wanted to leave like them without hints, but they were just not firm enough.

This made her job a lot easier, just identifying how much they wanted to leave and what their main concerns were.

So a few days passed, and she was sure that there were six people who would follow her, and eleven or twelve who were likely to follow her, and six or seven who said they wanted to leave.

She talked to about 50 people about half of the ruined temple. Half of them had the idea of ​​leaving, and the other half had no intention of leaving.

This number was about the same as she expected, but what made her a little sad was that several people she was optimistic about had no intention of leaving.

This kind of thing can't be forced, it can only be resigned.

When she was doing these things, she naturally alarmed Boss Zhao and the others. Faced with their inquiries, she also asked them those questions.

Their answers were unexpectedly unified, and they didn't go away.

Thinking about it, they are the leaders of the beggars. Unless all the beggars are starved to death, they will all stutter, and they are all strong and strong people with a weak sense of morality.

Finding a mountain village to farm honestly and stably is not the life they want.

Mu Yu saw that they were just asking casually and didn't care about it, so he was somewhat relieved, not being disturbed by them was less troublesome.

After she figured out the matter, she came to an end first, and then took away all the things that should be taken into the space, mainly the bowls and jars from the previous trade and the firewood that Yang Erlang had cut before. .

It is not always possible to find usable firewood on the way to escape from famine, but people always have to cook, so it is impossible not to keep more spares.

Not only these, but also many other things that she might use have been thrown into the space and stored. Fortunately, in addition to the arable land in the mustard space, there is still some free space for her to put these sundries.

However, according to her way of putting it, it may not be long before it will be full.

Before the mustard space was filled with sundries, the food planted in it ushered in maturity again.

This is the third bumper harvest since she planted grain in the mustard space, and it is also the second time she has harvested a large amount of grain, this time it is millet.

In the past, only a hundred or so millet trees were planted, and the harvest was more than ten catties at a time. This time, most of the land was planted with millet. It is estimated that there are seven to eighty catties, and the yield is quite impressive.

She herself was surprised that there would be so much. Originally, she estimated that one mu of land would yield one or two hundred catties. If the space conditions were better, she might be able to charge more, but it turned out that she really charged more.

It would be good if she charged more, as she could just take it to the grocery store to exchange for more useful things. After she started fleeing famine, she might not have such an opportunity again.

It took her two or three days to deal with seventy or eighty catties of millet, and when she got the tens of catties of millet ready, the situation outside changed again.

It was rumored that the city lord was seriously injured and died.

　Fixed.Sorry, I've been working overtime these days.
