Five-year-old little girl: Mom has thousands of acres of material space

Chapter 8 Signs of natural disasters

The meat buns made by Jiang Min are not something ordinary farmers can afford. A large soup dumpling with thin skin and large filling is as big as an adult's fist.

Jiang Xiaoxiao drank a large bowl of milk and ate such a large meat soup dumpling, and she was exhausted.

Jiang Wei ate every bit of the two meat buns.

After eating and drinking, the mother and daughter went to the river to fetch water and cleaned the house inside and out.

All the weeds in the yard were cut and piled outside the kitchen, dried in the sun and used for the fire.

The gravel paths are also washed clean with water.

The sun gradually rises, and several old trees that cover the house have twisting branches. The tree crowns tower into the clouds, blocking out the sky and the sun. The trees provide shade all over the ground and a cool breeze blows.

Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief under the tree.

I have to say that this place is really good. It is located near the foot of the mountain and the terrain is high. There is a bamboo forest behind the house. When the weather gets hot soon, their place will still be shady and cool.

Having read the original book, she knew that not long after, the weather became hot, there was no rain for a long time, the fields dried up, the rivers dried up, and the agricultural products in several nearby villages, including Yuhe Village, almost disappeared.

The harvest was not good, and every household was too poor to make ends meet. In winter, there was a snowstorm, and many people died in the village.

The next year, there was another locust plague, and all the crops in the fields were eaten clean.

Years of war have caused social unrest and the court's financial deficit. The court has increased taxes, and local officials have become more and more unscrupulous in exploiting the people, making the lives of the poor who were not already wealthy even worse.

By that time, every household will be unable to survive and will have no choice but to flee with their whole family.

Grass roots and tree bark along the way were all chewed up, and many hungry people died on the way to escape the famine.

Along the way, everywhere you look are the corpses of hungry people who died of starvation...

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt a little heavy.

She didn't think much of it when she was reading the book, but now that she was a person in the book, she would have to experience these natural disasters and wars in the future, so she couldn't be happy.

She was a five-year-old girl, unable to change anything. She could only ensure her survival in this era of famine and war.

While thinking about it, Jiang Wei, who was beside him, had already put on his backpack and asked, "I'm going to go to the mountain. Do you want to go?"

on the mountain? !
  Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. Isn't this the place where the heroine shows off her talents and makes a fortune!
  "Go!"

……

After leaving the courtyard gate, looking around, there are endless fields and crops, with a few thatched houses in the distance, and smoke curling up from cooking stoves.

The villagers were bent over working in the fields.

Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning as she looked at it. It was the earing and flowering period of rice, and it was the time when water was most needed, but it still didn't rain.

Yuhe Village is not bad, there is a river running through the village, and water can be manually carried for irrigation.

Several neighboring villages are not so lucky, and now they are probably beginning to worry about irrigation problems in their rice fields.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that she had been in a daze, Jiang Wei couldn't help but cast his eyes on the fields and crops in the distance.

"Do you feel uncomfortable that our family is divided and we don't get any land? But it doesn't matter, my mother will make money from now on..."

"No, mother..." Jiang Xiaoxiao shook her head and sighed: "I just think the weather is so hot and it hasn't rained for a long time. Will those rice plants die if they don't drink enough water..."

"Water...?" Jiang Wei was stunned when he heard the words.

She subconsciously looked up at the sky. It was clear and cloudless. According to the season, it was the rainy season, but there was no sign of rain.

Jiang Wei's expression suddenly became serious. Jiang Xiaoxiao watched calmly, feeling slightly relieved.

She knew what was going to happen next in the original plot, and since she couldn't explain it clearly, she could only give her mother some hints through insinuations.

Now it seems that her mother has understood what she meant. Natural disasters and droughts are coming soon, so we need to prepare as soon as possible.

Jiang Wei didn't speak anymore, but silently held Jiang Xiaoxiao's hand up the mountain.

Their home is at the end of the village, close to the foot of the mountain, and it doesn't take much time to go to the mountain.

The weather became hotter and hotter at noon, and the sun above our heads was so bright that it made people dizzy.

Jiang Xiaoxiao ran out of energy not long after walking.

There was no way, her body was suffering from long-term starvation and malnutrition. Even though her food had improved somewhat in the past two days, the long-term deficit had made her body very weak.

Jiang Wei didn't see this, and without saying a word, he picked her up and put her into the backpack behind him, and then stuffed something into her hand.

Jiang Xiaoxiao opened her palm and saw that it was a piece of chocolate! ?
  Jiang Xiaoxiao: "..."

She was very discerning and didn't ask any questions. She silently opened the wrapping paper and began to eat the chocolate in small bites.

Chocolate is a good thing to restore physical strength. After eating a whole piece of chocolate, Jiang Xiaoxiao was no longer weak.

She wanted to get down and leave by herself, but Jiang Wei didn't let her.

"You'd better stay in the backpack. If you come down and walk, it will only slow down my pace."

"..." Jiang Xiaoxiao sighed deeply and feebly: "Okay, mother."

The mountain road was difficult to walk, but Jiang Wei felt like walking on flat ground. Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't feel any bumps on her back.

Gradually entering the deep mountains, the mountains are shaded by luxuriant trees, the land is soft and fertile, and many wild vegetables grow.

Now is the busy farming season, but no villagers go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

Jiang Wei took a few glances and thought of the countless vegetables and fruits in his space, so he didn't pick them. He might as well leave them to those who need them in the future.

She had already heard what Jiang Xiaoxiao said before. The weather was dry and the harvest this year was not expected to be too optimistic. By then, villagers would inevitably go into the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

The supplies in her space are enough for her to last for several lifetimes, so there is no need to compete with the poor for a few wild vegetables.

At this moment, a rustling sound came from not far away.

Looking up, a shadow was vaguely visible among the lush trees.

The first thing that catches the eye is the scattered antlers. There are trumpet-like ears hidden under the antlers, as if they are eavesdropping on the surroundings and are ready to escape at any time.

It's a mature stag!
  The eyes of mother and daughter both lit up!
  Deer are timid by nature and usually feed mainly at night or early morning and dusk. They usually rest in hidden bushes during the day.

Meeting a deer at this time is simply a stroke of great luck!

Jiang Wei couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. She quickly put down her backpack, signaled Jiang Xiaoxiao to wait where she was, and then she quietly walked towards the deer through the bushes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao was equally excited. She looked at the trees in the distance and swallowed nervously, although she knew that it was the effect of the heroine's halo that made them encounter extremely precious wild animals like deer.

But this stag was so big, it probably weighed three to four hundred pounds. Can her mother handle it on her own?

Just as he was thinking about it, the stag seemed to be stimulated. He staggered out of the bushes and hit Jiang Xiaoxiao with the pair of horns on his head!
