Chapter 134 Will there be a famine in the spring?

Su Nuan spent the next few days making oil, but unfortunately there were not many peanut oil and sesame oil materials, so she could only make two or three pounds of each.

If there were more, Su Nuan would feel sorry for the seeds. These can be planted in the spring, and the planting area can be expanded slowly. There will be enough oil to eat in a year.

Three days before the Chinese New Year, Su Nuan went up the mountain again, without Ling Yun or Xiao Tian. She left a note and sneaked away.

She first demolished and took away the abandoned houses left by the giants, and then cut down some trees suitable for building houses to make room.

The three little wolves were well taken care of by the baboons. Each one was chubby and about a foot and a half long.

The animals that were taken into the space might recognize Su Nuan as their master. They were not at all unfamiliar with her and wagged their tails wildly.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "They say wolves don't wag their tails. Isn't this quite cheerful?"

The space spirit said, "You can take them out now. The temperature here is a bit hot for them."

Su Nuan nodded, "I'll take it back when I get down the mountain. It's New Year, so there should be a lot of thieves."

I don’t know what touched the Space Spirit’s funny bone with this sentence, but it burst out laughing.

Su Nuan glanced sideways, "What are you laughing at?"

The space spirit suppressed his laughter and said, "Stealing chickens and dogs? Go and steal wolves."

Su Nuan couldn't help laughing when she heard that. It was hard to imagine what would happen if those people touched the wolf.

She was a little worried that the three little guys would be afraid of the cold if they went out, so she took them out when she left the space.

Unexpectedly, the three little ones were just stunned for a moment after landing outside, and then they started rolling around in the snow. They are worthy of being snow wolves, they love snow by nature.

But these three are not pure white. The eldest has flame-shaped red hair on his forehead, the second has a crescent-shaped hair on his forehead, and the third is a bit sloppy, a furry circle, but it always gets messed up as it moves.

Su Nuan smiled and said, "From now on, you will be called Lieyan, Haoyue, and Yanyang."

The three little ones quickly became familiar with their names and howled to express their joy.

Su Nuan frowned and said, "You have to bark like this, no woof, come and learn from me, woof woof..."

"boil……"

“Ouch…”

"Wow……"

Su Nuan shook her head, "Woof woof... woof woof..."

“Ah… wow…”

“Wow…Wow…”

“Wow…”

Su Nuan held her forehead, "Woof woof... woof woof..."

The three little ones finally learned it under Su Nuan's guidance, but their accents were not correct and they were barely understandable.

Su Nuan breathed a sigh of relief. This was fine. She could use the fact that they were still young as an excuse.

In fact, Su Nuan’s purpose of coming out was not hunting, after all, there were still a lot of prey in the space.

She walked down the mountain, and unexpectedly, a flock of wild sheep ran into her.

Su Nuan drew his bow and shot two big ones, while the smaller ones scattered.

She hadn't intended to chase them, as two of them would be enough to eat for a long time.

As for the meat to be exchanged for bricks in the spring, it is enough. After all, Lingyun and Xiaotian have not been idle during this period. They will bring back prey after cutting down trees.

Who would have thought that the wild sheep would run back foolishly, as if they wanted to see why their companions suddenly fell down.

The space spirit sent a message to Su Nuan, "These stupid roe deer."

Su Nuan asked in confusion: "Robe? Isn't this a wild sheep horse?"

The space spirit said, "They are also called robes. They are the dumbest animals and are very curious."

Su Nuan chuckled, took out a rope and threw a noose, catching three alive. The rest of the robes then realized the danger and ran away.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Su Nuan was leading three sleds, and on the sled were two sleds, a wild boar and several hares.

The wild boars and hares were taken from the space. Now there is an ice cellar, so they are still inside without worrying about them spoiling.

Lingyun and Xiaotian built a small house at the entrance of the ice cellar, which can be used as a firewood room to store chopped firewood.

The space spirit asked, "You can't hunt in the spring. Can't you get some meat? What if someone gives you bricks and you don't have meat in exchange?"

Su Nuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, we already have three of them. Just keep them. I don't think many people would be willing to brave the cold wind to make mud bricks."

The space spirit asked in confusion: "But isn't this a good opportunity to earn food? Don't they want to eat meat?"

Su Nuan sneered, "They will only be willing to take action when trust, hard work, and hunger exist at the same time."

The space spirit didn't quite understand. "That's strange. Don't humans like to stock up?"

Su Nuan pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps they haven't realized the kind of hunger that will come with the beginning of spring."

The space spirit asked again: "Will there be famine in the spring?"

Su Nuan nodded without hesitation, "Yes, when I came here in my previous life, everything was fine before spring. The snow wouldn't melt after spring, but plants that grow in the cold winter, such as holly, would appear."

"These things are poisonous if consumed in large quantities. It's better to chew on tree bark."

"Oh, right. I remember there were three months where I only had two black-faced steamed buns a day, and before the New Year, I could eat four or five."

The space spirit said, "That was during the famine period, so you didn't have enough to eat in your previous life."

Su Nuan pondered for a moment, then said somewhat dejectedly, "I didn't live very long in my previous life. Not only did it start spring, but it snowed heavily after the New Year. There was also heavy snow and storms."

"People couldn't find food and had to rely on the government to provide them with food. But then something happened in Hancheng, and the entire city was destroyed."

"The city guards here can't find a place to buy food, and the snow blocks the roads from reaching the next city, so people across the border are starving."

The Space Spirit asked, "Did the Ling family starve to death at this time?"

Su Nuan shook her head, "No, they starved to death before the next winter."

The space spirit didn't understand. "How is that possible? We can go fishing in the fall, dry fish, and dig wild vegetables. We won't starve to death."

Su Nuan remained silent, fearing that the space spirit would rebel if she told it out loud.

The space spirit seemed to have thought of this and asked, "I think you are the culprit who caused them to starve to death, right?"

Su Nuan smiled awkwardly, "There will be plagues in the summer, and many people will die. In fact, there was an outbreak of big neck disease before this, but in this life, they followed me to collect wild vegetables and had meat to eat, so there was no outbreak."

"But I didn't know what caused the plague in the summer, nor how to prevent it, so I was very worried."

The space spirit asked, "Did the plague affect the autumn harvest? If the crops aren't taken care of, the harvest will be less. It's impossible that there won't be any at all."

Su Nuan's mouth twitched. "Otherwise, why is there a saying that goes 'When it rains, it pours'? Most of the people died from the plague in the summer, and the remaining ones don't have the energy to take care of the food."

"Everyone was looking forward to the autumn harvest when the crops would ripen and fill their stomachs even with the shells. But the plague of locusts has come again, ravaging the mountains and eating away all the trees."

The spatial inspiration sighed and said, "How can you be so unlucky? How are you still alive?"
