Yes, there is food in October.
Knowing that the island was about to run out of food, she immediately bought a batch of whole wheat flour and various grains from the group.
But aside from secretly taking some out and adding it to the food rations for the day when no one was looking, she really couldn't find any other opportunity to take it out.
In addition to food, Shiyue also took out the fruits, kelp, and some dried shrimp that she had previously stockpiled and put them together with the spare food.
In fact, if it weren't for what she brought out, the island's food reserves probably wouldn't have lasted until now.
The main problem was that the previous strong winds and heavy rains ruined a large number of the island's fruits.
For example, some berries that were once common have all rotted and become inedible.
But now, Shiyue felt that the little bit of food she had secretly taken out was not enough.
If things continue like this, many people's health will probably suffer.
Because of food shortages, residents now rarely leave their homes, except for taking turns going up the mountain to find food.
Even the soldiers stopped working except for their regular patrols.
After all, the storm will eventually pass, and the supply ships will eventually arrive.
But if an accident occurs due to hunger at this time, it could really cause a big problem!
Although there is a clinic on the island, it can only treat minor injuries and illnesses, and it is equipped with only basic medicines.
In case of a serious illness or injury, one would definitely have to leave the island and go to the city where the regiment headquarters is located for treatment.
For the safety of the soldiers, all construction work has been halted.
Now, the second meal of the day is at 4 pm, and after this meal, everyone usually stays at home.
Even members of the expert group will take their work home to do unless absolutely necessary.
Everyone is trying to minimize their physical exertion.
With everyone hungry, Shiyue and He Lixuan stopped eating.
The main problem is that in an environment where everyone is so considerate, even if there is plenty of food, you really won't be able to eat.
Lying in bed, Shiyue could hear her stomach rumbling.
She was already hungry, even though she had only eaten less than an hour ago.
Or rather, she hasn't had a proper meal these past few days.
"If we really can't find a place, we'll just pile it up anywhere. Just find a route that people going to dig for wild vegetables will definitely take. Anyway, even if someone suspects something, they won't be able to find any evidence, and the suspicion will eventually fade away," Shi Yue said to He Lixuan.
"We still need to be careful. This isn't the production team we used to work for. Think about what Battalion Commander Wu and the others did before. No matter how anxious you are, don't leave any hidden dangers for yourself."
He Lixuan clearly did not agree with his wife's idea.
Shiyue sat up abruptly in bed and said with displeasure, "Be careful, be careful, or someone will faint again tomorrow! Let's not even talk about others, look how thin Dad has become!"
This morning I secretly tried to put candy in Mom's mouth, but she covered her mouth with her hand and refused to eat it. Even Mom can sense how bad the situation is right now!
How could He Lixuan not know about the situation Shiyue described?
He didn't say anything more, but stood up and said, "I'm going out for a walk."
Shiyue closed her eyes in frustration.
What's the point of spinning around and around?
Even if they searched the entire mountain, they could never know it better than the engineering corps soldiers.
They've been here for over a year, and all they do is wander around the mountain every day.
They recognized every single plant and tree here.
Finding a cave or crevice to store food under their noses is simply a pipe dream!
It's obvious that this is impossible.
Despite her thoughts, Shiyue still put on a long-sleeved jacket, tied the sleeves and trouser legs tightly with a rope, and followed behind He Lixuan.
They went out of the courtyard and saw Jiajia sitting obediently on a bench under the eaves.
Nowadays, children don't have enough to eat, and they don't have the energy to play around anymore.
Upon seeing the two of them, Jiajia waved and called out, "Uncle, Aunt, where are you going?"
Shiyue pointed to the back mountain: "Let's go up the mountain and see if there are any fruits."
Jiajia's eyes lit up, but she didn't mention bringing the fruit back for her to eat.
The little girl knew that nowadays, anyone who found food had to hand it over to the authorities and then it would be distributed uniformly.
The little girl simply waved to them again and said, "Uncle, Aunt, come back soon."
Upon seeing Jiajia, Shiyue's heart stirred.
She quickened her pace to catch up with her husband and whispered, "Can we put the things in the crevice in the cliff where Jiajia and the others got lost last time?"
He Lixuan thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the place too small? Besides, when we were looking for the three of them that day, many people saw that there was nothing in that crevice."
Shi Yue glanced around to make sure no one was watching, then tugged at her husband's clothes and said sternly, "He Lixuan, I have to point out your problem. You can't keep looking back and forth like this, trying to make things perfect. This is something that can't possibly be perfect!"
No matter where you put it, the appearance of something out of thin air will arouse suspicion. We just need to ensure that even if they suspect something, they can't find any evidence.
Nothing is more important than saving lives right now!
“Then let’s go take a look.” This time, He Lixuan did not refuse.
The crevice they were referring to was the one behind the stream.
The last time it rained, the three little ones hid underneath to avoid the rain and fell asleep, making it a real ordeal for the adults!
