It’s the third chapter now, so I’ll only update twice today and make up for it tomorrow!

Chapter 392 Two Days and Three Twos

In the next few days, Bi Qiaoan's first task before going to bed and after waking up every day was to use his consciousness to turn over the wheat and rice drying in the space.

I don’t know if it’s because the space is so powerful, but in just three days, most of the moisture in this batch of grain has disappeared.

That day, when Shen Yanming came back, he said to Bi Qiaoan, "I heard that a group of people fainted from hunger again today, and the Su City Guard is preparing to use the reserve grain."

"So what do you think?"

Shen Yanming was silent for a while before he said, "I want to release this batch of grain before they use the reserve grain. Although Su City has a backup plan, if we want to donate grain, we can probably only take advantage of this chaos.

Although the disaster seems serious, the land in the suburbs is still there, and the crops will be ripe in two months. If we persist a little longer, we will get through it.

If we eat up the food reserves now, we don’t know when we can replenish them, considering the environmental changes in recent years. What will the people of Su City do if a disaster occurs in the future and there is no harvest? "

What Shen Yanming said makes sense. Although the land had yielded some harvests in the years of his previous life, this life is vastly different from his previous life. The experiences of his previous life can no longer be used as a reference. It is hard to say when this world will collapse.

"Okay, let's deal with this batch of grain in the next two days. Have you found a suitable location?" Bi Qiaoan asked with a nod.

"I have an idea, but I have to take another look tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful when you investigate, don't let anyone notice anything unusual."

"Okay, got it!"

After the two finished talking, they fell asleep soon. Meanwhile, Li Sikai's daily quarrel began again.

"No, no, I really can't stand it anymore. I take care of his excrement and urine every day, and he still causes trouble for me. You guys hurry up and think of a way to rescue me!" Yuan Ruoxi was so anxious that she jumped up and down, turning around in front of Li Sikai.

"What's the situation between you two now? Have you discussed it?" Li Sikai rubbed his brows, "Are you going to stay together or part ways amicably?"

"Of course I hope to part ways amicably, but Tao Jianian disagrees. He insists that it was because of me that he broke his leg and asks me to support him for the rest of his life. But do you think this is realistic? He is too greedy.

Not to mention that I didn't break his leg, even if I was responsible, and the responsibility is shared equally, I can only support him for 20 years at most. What's more, I am penniless, how can I support him?"

After saying this, Yuan Ruoxi changed her previous impatience and looked at Li Sikai with sparkling eyes, hoping that the guard team would take the initiative to help her shoulder this burden after learning about her situation.

Li Sikai seemed to understand what she meant and shook his head. "Don't even think about it. You have to deal with the trouble you caused yourself. The guards have no obligation to do this..."

"I know you have no obligation to clean up my mess, but my ability is limited. It's useless even if you force me." Yuan Ruoxi's shoulders slumped, and she gave up.

"We didn't force you." Li Sikai disagreed. Although he had his own ideas, he never forced anyone. "Considering your actual situation, we haven't forced you to go on a mission during this period. I think that's enough to take care of you."

"Considering my actual situation, you should let me go. If I don't go on the mission, where can I earn supplies to compensate Tao Jianian?"

"I still say the same thing. Once you have made arrangements for Tao Jianian, you can go. If there is no one to take care of him, then you should stay." Li Sikai insisted on his opinion and refused to give in.

Yuan Ruoxi knew there was no room for bargaining. She looked at the tiny wounds on her hands, gritted her teeth, and asked, "Then, should I hire someone to take care of him? But half a pound of rice a day is definitely not enough. I can only get two pounds after working a day. Three ounces, how about I give him three ounces?"

"This guard team doesn't care. You can do whatever you want. As long as you don't force the other party to agree, we won't interfere."

"Okay, it's settled then. I'll go find someone right now and go on a mission with you guys tomorrow!" Yuan Ruoxi waved her hands happily, and ran to the refugee area after walking out of the tent.

Li Sikai looked at Sun Sainan who was sitting next to him and said, "She will call someone over in a while. Ask him privately if he is willing. If so, ask him to take good care of Tao Jianian."

"Boss, do you think anyone would be unwilling to come for three ounces of rice? Although three ounces of rice is not much, it can at least fill the stomach of a young boy. It is better than going to the restaurant every day to get that thin rice soup, right?"

"It's hard to say, who knows!" Li Sikai smiled, "Yuan Ruoxi has a very strange way of thinking. Who knows, she may come up with other tricks after this one."

"Well, I'll make sure to ask clearly."

There is a saying that the person who knows you best may not be your friend, but may be your enemy. Although Li Sikai is not Yuan Ruoxi's enemy, he has known her to a certain extent after spending so many months with her.

So, after Yuan Ruoxi ran to the refugee area, she found a more energetic young man. As soon as she told him her request, the other party only heard the three words "reward" and nodded in agreement.

Yuan Ruoxi rolled her eyes and said, "The patient usually has to stay in bed, so you don't have much work to do. How about I pay you one or two ounces of rice every day?"

"One or two taels? It's just a handful of rice. What can you do with that? It's not even enough to waste firewood to cook rice porridge, right?" The young man didn't expect the reward to be so low. He was a little hesitant.

Yuan Ruoxi also knew that she was being a bit cruel in exploiting him, so she asked, "Then tell me, how much do you want?"

The young man looked at Yuan Ruoxi's face and asked cautiously, "Two...two days and three taels?"

He originally wanted to say two taels per day, but he was afraid that the other party would find someone else because it was too much, so he changed his mind. After all, few people would use food as a reward to recruit workers now.

If he hadn't been extremely hungry today and was wandering outside trying to find some wild vegetables and grass roots, he might not have come across such a good thing.

Hearing this number, Yuan Ruoxi felt secretly delighted, but her face showed a pained expression, "Well, then, just consider it as my pity for you."

The young man almost screamed with joy, but in order to maintain a good image in front of his employer, he suppressed his excitement. Then he kept bowing and thanked Yuan Ruoxi profusely.

Yuan Ruoxi nodded and thought, "What a silly boy."

"Well, go back and say hello to your family, and come with me today. But it's already evening, so I can only give you half a day's work."

"Okay, Fairy Sister, I'll talk to my parents and I'll be able to leave right away."
