Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 7 007 Broken Temple Boss
"The water is clean, give me half a bowl."

Mu Yu restrained his urge to look at this boss Zhao, and poured him half a bowl of water.

"That's enough, you can drink the remaining sip by yourself."

Hearing this, Mu Yu judged silently in his heart, it seems that this Mr. Zhao is not too bad a person, at least he is more approachable than the sharp-mouthed monkey-cheeked "two dogs".

Although she doesn't have any need to get in touch with these people at the moment, she only needs to worry about food, drink and food and clothing, but she is not only satisfied with eating and drinking, she wants to live a better life.

Then on the road of struggle to live a better life, contacting and building a good relationship with the "local snakes" at the gathering point is an unavoidable thing.

However, now she just wants to find an opportunity to get to know them a little bit, and leave a little impression on them by the way, and she has no other ideas.

Zhao Shitou raised his neck and drank most of the bowl of water in one gulp. The clear and sweet taste quenched his unbearable thirst, which shocked him and let out a contented sigh.

"Good water!"

But for a person who has been thirsty for a long time, this bowl of water is not enough, so he looked at the beggar holding the jar again, and the beggar was about to pour water for him wisely, but when he saw the dirty water, he remembered After seeing the fishy and stinky taste, he immediately lost his appetite, and took the bowl back by himself.

"Come on, stop drinking."

As soon as he turned his head, he found that red face was still there, and suddenly thought of the good water he had just drank into his mouth. Could it be that the red face wanted to drink the remaining water for him?
But after thinking about it again, only that one sip was not enough to drink, so I rested my mind, waved my hand and said,

"Go in, what are you doing standing there?"

Mu Yu didn't move his place, moved his lips, his voice was hoarse and somewhat breathless,

"I handed over the water."

This is to remind him that he should call out to inform him.

The same is true of other people who handed in their shares. Whoever handed in what, the person who received the things would shout on the spot, such and such handed in three grass roots, so and so handed in two pieces of bark, so and so handed in a small mouse, etc. wait like this.

It seemed to be handed over, she paid special attention to it twice, and what she shouted should be,

"Red face, give me a bowl of water!"

As soon as she thought of this, she heard Zhao Touer in front of her yelling this sentence, and her impression of him suddenly became a little better. It would be best not to embarrass others. Not so happy.

She got the result she wanted, and she was very satisfied, and returned to the house with only the bottom of the bowl of water left.

Because of the yelling earlier, within a few steps, she met the eyes of about half of the people in the ruined temple.

She is calm, after all, she is not as cowardly as the original owner, and it is not even a tickle for her to be looked at by others, not to mention that everyone who has made a contract is treated like this, and she used to look at it like this other people.

She went back to the room and sat down. Several people in sight were licking their lips, but no one said anything.

Because everyone knows how rare water and food are at this time. The big beggars only smoke half of the things they bring back, and they only smoke once in a short period of time. As for not being able to take it out, some people decided to move out of the ruined temple because of this.

It can only be said that their living environment is really bad, and one bite of food is enough to make them move out of the place where they lived for more than half a year.

It is too difficult for a beggar to survive in a disaster year.

Mu Yu sighed with emotion, and then laughed at herself, she is also one of the beggars now, and she is also worrying about the next bite, so don't bother thinking about other things, and take care of yourself first.

Where should I find something to eat to survive the two or three days it takes for the weeds to grow in the mustard space?

She lay down and thought for a long time, but she still couldn't think of any solution, but she didn't give up hope.

No matter what, she is also a modern person who has experienced nine years of compulsory education and survived the beatings of society. Not to mention killing everyone in this era, her knowledge and ideas are at least much better than this group of beggars at the bottom of society.

Besides, she has the mustard space in her hands, so it makes no sense that the beggars have not starved to death, but she has starved to death first.

In fact, it is not enough to starve to death. If she really can't find other ways to get food, she can dig out a few weed roots planted in the space and eat them, relying on this to survive the next few days. Difficult days.

She counted carefully, and there are about twelve or three thick grass roots, and only half of them can help her survive for another three or four days. By then, the remaining half of the weeds should grow up.

At that time, there will be two weeds per day, once every three days. If she estimates that the growth rate of the weeds is not bad, the two that were eaten first will grow up and enter the cycle, and the food crisis will be initially resolved.

Of course, this is an ideal state, and the reality is far from being so good.

Now she is so hungry that she is exhausted, and her spirit is on the verge of collapse. Just talking about two grass roots or two palm-sized weeds a day, she can't get enough to eat, and she can't even provide the most basic nutrition to maintain the body's functioning!

The only thing that can be guaranteed is probably to be alive.

It is foreseeable that if this continues, she will continue to starve for a long time.

Mentally, she can survive hunger and depression. After all, she is not a person who has not lived through hardships. She is prepared and strong enough.

But physically, long-term malnutrition will inevitably cause great harm to the body, and weakness will cause a lot of inconvenience. If it causes some diseases, it will be really fatal.

Getting sick is a terrible thing in modern times, not to mention the Laoshizi Daqi Dynasty in the troubled times. Not to mention the backward medical skills. With her status, she has no money and no way to find a good doctor, so she can only suffer by herself.

She turned over, not a single star could be seen in the dark night sky, it was so dull and breathless.

There was a sigh from time to time in the room, obviously someone was worried like her.

She fell asleep in the sound of sighs one after another.

……

After one night, Mu Yu woke up before it was very bright.

This is purely due to the worker's biological clock. On the days when she usually has to go to work, she would get up at five o'clock, cook, eat, run in the morning, clean herself up, and then go out at seven o'clock and take the bus for more than half an hour Go to the company and clock in at eight o'clock.

Now I kind of miss those days.

Of course, I don't miss going to work, but I miss the days when I can eat and drink enough to live a stable life.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again, but the extremely slight rustling sound from around her made her subconsciously hold her breath.

There are some beggars who look for food more diligently in order to survive, but they don't go out before dawn, which is very abnormal.

First, there is no need to grab this little time, and you can’t gain anything more if you spend more time. Second, when it is dark, beggars are generally hungry, dizzy, weak, and easy to fall.

There must be a reason for sneaking out early and quietly under such circumstances.

Maybe this man knows how to get food!

Of course, it is also possible that this person just wants to shit and pee. The reason for being so careful is that this person has high morals and does not want to disturb others.

It's just that this possibility is extremely small, almost non-existent, and beggars hardly have such thoughts.

Do you want to go out with me?

Needless to say, as long as there is even a chance of getting food, you shouldn't miss it!
Mu Yu stood up resolutely and followed.

　Happy April Fool's Day!
