Meng Shijie and the others were shocked when they saw that those people were moving the old lady out of the small temple.
That’s right, she was moved out, because the old lady was already stiff. She looked the same as she did when she was sitting in the small temple.
How long did he have to sit here to be frozen so hard?
"Is this the custom here?"
Meng Shijie turned and asked Yongxing, after all, he was a local here.
The others also looked at Yongxing and waited for an answer. They were all a little curious whether there was such a custom here.
“No, maybe there’s a reason.
That short-bearded man in his forties is the village chief over there."
A few people were talking here and decided not to watch it anymore because their seeds were still waiting for them at home.
However, at this moment, the stiff old lady who was still sitting above rolled down.
"Mom—"
The old lady's son crawled and howled as he chased after his mother's body. Behind him were other people, also looking panicked.
“What a sin!”
The village chief and others over there were very panicked.
"Kind people, please help!"
The village chief directly asked for help from Meng Shijie and others on the mountain road.
Meng Shijie and others who were originally preparing to go home, saw this situation and thought that the dead are the greatest, so they were willing to lend a hand if they could, even if they didn't know the person.
Yongxing and Yongan were good at fighting. They stepped forward to stop the stiff old lady who continued to roll down.
Everyone who came down from the mountain thanked them.
Meng Shijie asked their village chief and found out that the old lady was dying and ran away, but they only found her now.
Meng Shijie and others were not familiar with them and were anxious to go home, so they did not ask any further questions.
On the way home, Yongan told the old lady about her possible situation.
"I've heard before that when there's not enough food at home for so many people, some people carry their elderly parents up the mountain and leave them to die."
"Is there anything like this?"
“All kinds.”
Meng Shijie and his companions returned home with heavy steps. They didn't say anything and just quickly planted the seeds.
They all felt that they would rather starve themselves than carry their parents and grandparents to the mountains to starve to death.
That's simply not something a human would do.
If you have nothing to eat, if possible, grow more food and earn more money.
【Dad, what unhappy things happened to you today? 】
When Meng Shuyan saw her father come back, she buried her head in her work and there was no smile on her face as usual. She also didn't come to see her the first time she came back from going out as she used to.
Although she was confused, it did not stop her from secretly taking a handful of rice seeds from the space.
She can finally grow crops.
The other people in the family also noticed that something was wrong with him.
In the evening, when they heard Wang Liangli talk about what happened halfway up the mountain in the opposite village, they understood why Meng Shijie worked so hard.
Mr. Meng and Mrs. Chen were very pleased and felt that their child had become very sensible.
Meng Shuyan also felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Although their family's life was not easy and hard during the migration, they still had something to eat.
But if you think about it, because of the war three years ago and the subsequent drought and flooding in many places, there was little to eat, and many people even starved to death.
It snowed for almost a month before the New Year, making life even more difficult for those families who already had little to eat.
What happened to the old lady in the opposite mountain village is definitely not uncommon. If there are children at home and they are really starving to death, I guess all the elderly will do the same.
Thinking about it, she entered the space again in the evening. The rice seeds planted at noon had already sprouted, and it seemed that the first crop could be harvested in the middle of the night.
It was impossible for Meng Shuyan to get up in the middle of the night to harvest the rice. If she didn't harvest it, she would just let the rice fall on its own after it matured and continue to expand the planting.
As a result, she forgot that after the rice matures, it will not fall off in a short period of time. Even if it is left in the field for one or two months without being harvested, it will still grow well and full of vitality.
Besides, there is no strong wind or heavy rain in Meng Shuyan's space, so the rice stalks should not be too thick.
The next day, when Meng Shuyan entered the space, she remembered the characteristics of rice and knew she had to harvest it herself.
