Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 70 070 Inspiring chips

The lack of food made Mu Yu very worried.

Yang Erlang reassured her not to worry too much, resting and traveling slowly in the next few days can reduce some food supply, which makes sense.

He also said that there is a village in front of him, and he can try his luck at that time, maybe he can find some food and water.

Mu Yu is not so optimistic. Food and water may not be found in the village.

It's just a fluke, what if there are still people alive in the village?

In order to survive, no one is willing to give up the food and water needed for survival, which is another trouble.

Perhaps, it would be easier to get food from Mr. Xu, the owner of the cloth village whom we found a few days ago.

At least Xu Shaodong's family has food for sure.

But how can we get food from Xu Shaodong's family?
Mu Yu thought and thought, he didn't eat dinner, so he leaned on the straw mat and fell into a deep sleep.

……

Mu Yu was very worried, Xu Shao's boss, Xu Gui, was even more worried than her.

Xu Gui thought that if he said that he was willing to pay for the job that evening, he would be able to get a visit from the leader the next day to finalize the job.

After all, in this famine year, countless people starved to death, so it would be nice to have something to eat and survive.

These refugees, or beggars, should be overjoyed to hear that he is willing to hire them.

As a result, he waited for two days, but he didn't wait for the leader to come to him, and even the little girl didn't say anything, she was simply uneducated.

That's all, if they don't know how to praise them, they don't care about them, he just recruits these people who fled famine.

But what I didn't expect was that after he released the news, there were not many people who came to ask questions. There were only three or two people in total. It's completely different when you want to join the caravan.

Xu Gui was a little dazed, he had always been pampered and had been in contact with wealthy businessmen, he finally began to realize that this was not the home field he was familiar with in Huangsha City, and everything here was different from what he knew.

He asked the old butler who had been underestimated by him what to do, and the old butler told him that he should take the initiative to talk to the leader about this matter.

He didn't take it seriously. In fact, he knew in his heart that he should do this, but he still couldn't let it go.

Until this day, the people under him brought another unfortunate news to him.

The two grain trucks in his caravan disappeared together with more than a dozen people guarding the grain trucks.

To put it bluntly, a dozen people stole two grain trucks from his caravan and ran away.

In the caravan, there were only five grain carts and five cloth carts in total, and [-]% of the grain was lost all at once!

My heartache is my heartache, but this is not the most serious thing, because the food prepared was enough for the people at the beginning to eat and there is still leftovers at the destination, but now there are even fewer people, even if there are only three food trucks left, there is still enough to eat. .

What makes him distressed is that there are only one-third of the manpower left. In the past two days, in order to catch up with the progress of these fleeing people, many people have really fallen behind and lost this person. Now there are really not many people left. people.

What he was even more afraid of was that more people would learn from the few people left and steal the food truck and run away!
That is the real hopelessness.

He had to do something.

……

When Yang Erlang came back from inspecting the camp, he saw Mu Yu was so tired that he fell asleep.

He covered her with a thin blanket, went to Taohua again, and asked Taohua to cook an extra serving of rice porridge for a longer time.

As soon as he finished giving these instructions, he saw Song Gao running from behind the team panting, and Mu Yu looked at him hesitantly while sleeping.

He asked, "Don't disturb her, what's the rush?"

Song Gao hesitated for a while, his eyes moved from the sleeping Mu Yu's back to Yang Erlang's face, seeing those people coming this way, he said something,

"That Xu Shaodong's family from the cloth village came here with three or five people, as if they wanted to discuss something with the leader."

Yang Erlang looked at the back of the team, and indeed he could see several people coming this way, and the distance was not far away.

"Is it about escorting them to Bazhou County? Didn't Mu Yu refuse? They still don't give up?"

Song Gao hesitated for a while, then said quickly,
"What Mu Yu said last time was,

'If we go to the mountain village in the south instead of Bazhou County, we can go together for a while, but escorts are not allowed.If you insist on doing this, you can talk to our leader. '

The leader Mu Yu was talking about you. "

At this time, those people had already walked close enough, so it was inconvenient to say anything more.

Xu Shao's owner, Xu Gui, looked around, and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Erlang, frowning slightly,
"Are you the leader here?"

"I'm."

Yang Erlang looked back calmly, with much more confidence than Xu Shaodong's family.

If it was half a month ago, he might have shown timidity in the face of this kind of situation, but he won't now. Some of his confidence has been tempered. The experience of the past half month has made him grow a lot.

Seeing that he didn't show any timidity at all, Xu Gui felt a little confused. He remembered the news that the old housekeeper had inquired about before, and thought,

Could it be that this kid is really the young master of that big family who fled from famine?
Otherwise, how could you be so emboldened and do things with such rules?

So he restrained his pride, cupped his hands, and introduced himself,
"I'm Xu Ji Bu Zhuang Shaodong Xu Gui, may I ask who is this young master's name?"

Yang Erlang didn't move, just said, "My surname is Yang."

Xu Gui didn't think about being rude this time, but was thinking, how many big families with the surname Yang are there in Huangsha City?

The Yang family who opened the restaurant?Or the relatives of the old city lord?still……

Xu Gui thought for a long time, and felt the old housekeeper behind him push him again. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had been in a daze for a long time, and was about to continue talking when he was interrupted.

"What's the matter with you?

If it is about escorting you to Bazhou, there is no need to talk about it, we will not go to Bazhou. "

Xu Gui just opened his mouth and closed it again, and he didn't open it for a while, with anxious and embarrassing expressions on his face.

Yang Erlang interrupted the rhythm of Xu Gui's speech, and directly rejected their appeal, leaving them speechless for a while.

Xu Gui pondered for a long time but couldn't think of anything to say. The old housekeeper standing behind him stood up at this moment,
"Young Master Yang, we really had no choice but to ask you for help. If no one helped us, it would be very difficult for us to reach Bazhou.

If Mr. Yang is willing to escort us to Bazhou County, our Young Master is willing to offer you a cart of grain and a cart of cloth as a thank you gift! "

Yang Erlang didn't speak, but his mouth was slightly pursed, and a light flashed in his dark eyes.

This bargaining chip is enough to make people excited.

Although he was agitated, he acted calmly.

One is that his character is originally quiet, calm and indifferent, and the other is that he knows that it is impossible to send them to Bazhou, even if he is tempted, it is useless.

But Xu Gui and his group didn't know this. Seeing that Yang Erlang was not moved by this, they believed that he was the young master of a certain big family, and at the same time they wanted his help even more.
