I brought a Jurassic

Chapter 59: The shame of being a time traveler

Before going up the mountain, Wang Luo had said that he would distribute half of the profits to the villagers. However, his words were not credible and he was not from this village. If he caught prey and did not share the profits with them, there would be nothing he could do. They represented the military compound and he had done nothing. Why should they share the profits with him? It would be good enough if he could have a full meal.

I didn't expect this to be true. As the village chief, what Uncle Liu said was 100% credible.

"Thank you, Comrade Wang Luo!"

"I have food to eat, and I don't have to go hungry anymore!"

Hearing this, everyone cheered. It was not easy, it was too difficult. This was truly life-saving food. They didn't expect Wang Luo to give it as soon as he said so.

"Comrade Wang Luo, I didn't expect that you helped our village twice after just one encounter. Last time you gave us ten yuan, which was already a lot. We bought some cornmeal to make a meal. This time, you gave us several hundred kilograms of meat, which can be exchanged for a lot of food."

Without further ado, Uncle Liu led Wang Luo to the north eaves and led everyone in bowing deeply to him.

"You are being too polite, too polite. How old am I? You are treating me like this. Isn't this shortening my life?"

Wang Luo didn't expect that this group of simple mountain people would give him such a big gift. He was really scared and quickly jumped away.

"I am a rather self-willed person. I will only help those who I like. As for those who I don't like, don't even think about taking anything from me. We are really destined to be together. Since we have met, there is no reason for me not to help. Hurry up, hurry up, let's cook and eat. Look how greedy these kids are. They are drooling!"

Wang Luo pointed at a group of children with naked buttocks, sucking their fingers, staring at the meat on the chopping board with their eyes unblinking and drooling.

"You are useless. Come on, leave these to them and let's go inside to drink some water!"

He glanced at the drooling children and pulled Wang Luo into the house. Today, Wang Luo was the most distinguished guest in their village. It was only because they thought he was young, otherwise, cigarettes, alcohol and other things would have been arranged for him.

"No matter how many words I say, I can't repay our village's gratitude to you. As long as you can get the food back, our village will be saved. This is truly a life-saving grace!"

After Uncle Liu and several respected elders in the village forced Wang Luo to sit in the seat of honor, one of the old men wiped his tears and said gratefully.

"After Grandpa Guo's grandson was born, he had no milk and died. Alas!"

Uncle Liu said to Wang Luo, "I didn't expect the situation in the village to be so serious now. I've been in Beijing and I only knew that when the quotas in the city were reduced to a certain extent, everyone would be unhappy. I didn't expect it to be even worse here."

Wang Luo had only learned a few words on the Internet in later generations. When he really came to this era and came into contact with people of this era, he realized that the situation was even more serious.

"We can't help it. Our area in the mountains is relatively good. At least we are close to the mountains and can produce something, such as chestnuts, mushrooms, and even close to the river. We can manage by irrigating the land manually. But the situation outside is worse than ours. It's all because of the weather. Look at how dry it is. It hasn't rained for a long time. There's nothing we can do!"

When talking about Uncle Liu, he got so angry that he cursed God.

"Okay, Shuanzi, it's no use cursing the heavens. This is much better than before. At least we don't have to listen to the sound of gunfire all day long, and we don't have to worry about losing our lives at any time. People should know how to be content. Besides, our village can at least have enough food and survive. In fact, it's a good choice for everyone to choose you as the captain. You have traveled a lot and have seen a lot. Otherwise, who knows what will happen to our village?"

Another old man advised.

"What can I do? Since you elected me, I have to consider everyone. I don't have much ability, but I can only try my best to make sure everyone has enough food to eat, especially the children in the village. We are not good enough in this life, but we can't let the children continue on the path we have walked. Do you really think I don't know that those children ran into the barn to steal the feed for the animals? Or do you think I don't know that everyone stole the collective sweet potatoes and corn?

I know all this, but I just pretend not to see it. We are neighbors and we know each other well. We are all trying to survive, and it’s not easy for anyone.”

Uncle Liu and the others were talking about everything in the village, and Wang Luo just listened to them quietly, learning about some things of this era. Everything that happened in this village was a microcosm of the current era, and what they said shocked Wang Luo.

When it was time to eat, Wang Luo was still thinking about how to help these old farmers. They had contributed so much to the development of the entire country and they deserved respect. They were the ones who paid the public grain and the industry was built under the huge gap between them. Even the high-rise buildings and roads and bridges in later generations were built with their own hands. However, in later generations, many people still discriminated against farmers when they mentioned them. They did not enjoy any of the benefits of the era. Why? This is so unfair to them.

"Why don't you eat it? Is it not to your taste? You can probably eat white flour steamed buns every day in the city. This sorghum steamed bun is a bit spicy, so it's normal that you can't eat it. You helped us so much, but we didn't treat you well. It's really rude. Wait until next time, when you come to our village again, I will get you some white flour to eat."

Uncle Liu saw Wang Luo holding the bowl but not eating, so he started asking.

"That's not the case. I was just listening to you guys talking about the village, and I was thinking about how we farmers can live a life without worries about food and drink. By then, we will have no shortage of flour and rice, and sorghum rice and sweet potatoes will only be used as supplementary food. We can eat beef, mutton and pork as much as we want, unlike now, when we have to calculate even when we have a full meal."

"Hahaha, Comrade Wang Luo, if one day I could see what I told you, that would be great. But I don't know when your idea can be realized. I guess we won't see it in this lifetime. Everything depends on your generation. Okay, let's eat quickly. After dinner, let's go into the city and hand over these prey to the soldiers. They need them more than we do."

Uncle Liu was still optimistic, but Wang Luo didn't think so. He was a time traveler with a golden finger, but he could only watch and couldn't help at all. Why could those predecessors who traveled through time raise livestock and farm, have no worries about food and drink, and have the ability to help everyone, while he was only in this Jurassic world, but could not achieve anything except improving himself, and had to rely on hunting for food and drink. He felt ashamed of those predecessors who traveled through time.
