Chapter 257: Here is full of hope
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng felt inexplicably nervous when facing Gu Luan and others.
This was something they had never encountered before, after all, they had been the leaders of the small base for quite some time.
After all, I have been in awe of many people, but today I actually feel in awe of others.
"We are from Kang City. There is a shortage of food on the mainland, and we came here because we couldn't survive."
Xiao Xiang slowly explained the reason.
Kangshi is not a coastal city.
It can be said that they went through a lot of hardships to reach the seaside and spent a lot of effort to find a ship.
The ship was still broken at that time, but fortunately they had someone who knew how to repair it.
Relying on this dilapidated ship, they tried to find food in the sea.
I had not intended to travel so far, but I encountered a storm and ended up here unexpectedly.
Now it seems that their choice was correct, at least the first person they met did not seem to be short of food.
"There are natural disasters on land every once in a while. Not only do we lack food, but we also have to endure horrific natural disasters. We really can't stand it anymore."
Liao Wansheng looked depressed and in pain, and burst into tears when he thought of the past.
The two spoke intermittently and no one interrupted them.
Gu Luan frowned. It seemed that the situation on land was even more terrible than she had imagined.
In this life, natural disasters were even more terrible than in the previous life. Even with her reminders, the country still suffered a lot of losses.
The two of them talked until their mouths were dry and their tongues were dry. Gu Luan and the others did not respond to anything they said, which made them feel uneasy.
"We are not bad people, we just want to settle down. We are all hardworking people and can do a lot of things."
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng said anxiously, "They are afraid that Gu Luan and others are unwilling to take them in."
"No, you can't stay on this island."
Fu Xinran refused directly.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng showed despair on their faces, and more than a hundred people not far behind them began to cry sadly.
None of them are vicious people, so they would not do anything shameless just because they disagree with them going to the island.
They were just disappointed and sad that they had found the island with great difficulty but couldn't settle down and survive.
Do they still have to search in the vast ocean? Can they survive until then?
There is indeed a lot of food in the sea, but they have little water left. So many people drink a lot of water a day.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng were just about to beg Fu Xinran again.
Fu Xinran hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, we really can't let you stay on this island for too long. We have another island with many Chinese people."
Xiao Xiang, Liao Wansheng and the others were very surprised when they heard this.
"Thank you, thank you."
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng were so excited that they were speechless and their voices were choked with sobs.
They finally found a way to survive!
Gu Luan and Jiang Xian looked over and saw more than a hundred people crying and holding their heads. They were happy and excited.
Fu Xinran felt a little sad, "I'll take you to rest, and then go to another island tomorrow."
Fu Xinran greeted Gu Luan, and took Xiao Xiang, Liao Wansheng and a group of people towards their temporary residence.
On the way, Fu Xinran told them not to run around on the island.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng kept the rules in mind, and the more than a hundred people behind them kept nodding their heads, for fear of breaking the rules and being kicked out.
A group of people stopped in front of hundreds of wooden houses.
Fu Xinran pointed to some of the wooden houses and asked Xiao Xiang and his people to move in.
These cabins were built in the last few months.
After clearing the land and planting crops, she brought most people back to the Jiang Gu base.
There are only a hundred or so people left here to tend the land, weeding and driving away wild animals.
Therefore, many wooden houses were left vacant, enough for them to live in.
"Thank you, Sister Fu. Thank you."
Xiao Xiang looks rough, but he is a very delicate person.
Liao Wansheng is a handsome man and is a good friend of Xiao Xiang.
The two led their families to travel to several cities and established a small base.
Until countless natural disasters destroyed their hopes, they had no choice but to bring their people to the sea to survive.
The moment they lay on the simple wooden bed, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that they had done their best for so many people.
In less than a minute, they both fell into a deep sleep, without having to worry about anything else.
During the more than one month of drifting at sea, they never dared to fall into a deep sleep for fear of encountering any danger.
Early in the morning, Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng woke up in shock.
They looked outside together and were immediately shocked.
More than ten meters away from the wooden house, there is a large piece of land planted with crops that are about to mature.
Inside there are rows of tall corn stalks with plump ears of corn on them.
Next to the corn are several kinds of beans, mung beans, red beans, black beans...
There are more crops in the distance.
They saw golden wheat, peanuts, sweet potatoes...
All the crops show their brilliance in the morning light, making people feel the joy of the harvest.
"Oh my god, what did I see?"
Some people covered their mouths and couldn't control their voices.
It has been two years, two years since the end of the world. They haven’t seen such a scene for a long time.
The city where they live is almost becoming a desert because the plants have been killed by the sun.
It has been a long time since they last saw these green plants, let alone the crops that are growing well.
It was all food, lots of it, so much that they couldn't describe it in words.
“We finally found hope.”
A middle-aged woman covered her eyes and cried loudly.
Because it was too dark last night, they couldn't see the harvest scene.
When I saw it today, I couldn't help myself.
"Are you new here?"
Two middle-aged men and women came over, carrying hoes and talking and laughing.
As soon as they saw these people, they came forward to say hello.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng nodded, "Uncle, aunt, may I ask where this place is?"
Until now, the two still don't know where they came from, so now is a good time to find out.
"Hahaha, you guys came to the island and didn't even know where this place is?"
The middle-aged man laughed loudly, but he didn't mean to laugh.
The middle-aged woman gave him a scolding look, "They arrived on the island late, so it's normal that they don't know."
The middle-aged man nodded and explained, "This is Jiang Gu Island, the private island of Mr. Jiang and Miss Gu. We are from the Jiang Gu base."
"Jiang Gu Base?"
Liao Wansheng murmured, "Excuse me, what is the relationship between Jiang Gu Base and Jiang Gu Island?"
"The Mr. Jiang and Miss Gu you mentioned, are they the leaders of the Jiang-Gu base?"
The last sentence was asked by Xiao Xiang.
"Haha, these two are not the leaders of Jiang Gu Base, but they are the great benefactors of our Jiang Gu Base."
The middle-aged woman answered with a smile.
When talking about Gu Luan and Jiang Xian, the middle-aged man and woman's eyes lit up and they had endless things to say.
Gradually, more than a hundred people learned from the two people who Gu Luan and Jiang Xian were and what they had done.
Before they knew it, these one hundred people showed shocked expressions.
Xiao Xiang and Liao Wansheng remained silent for a long time, feeling both inferior and excited.
The inferiority complex of these two grown men is completely different from that of others.
What excites them is that they have met such capable people and can live well under their protection.
I'm afraid many people would not have thought that there would be two such capable people living in such a remote sea.
They do not seek power and live as they please.
