The more Lu Yan thought about it, the worse he felt.
The original book only describes the tragedy of fleeing famine.
But there is also a vague sense of urgency.
Lu Yan had never thought about these things carefully before, but now that she thought about them carefully, she seemed to have the answer in her heart.
"You line up here first. I'll walk around and see if there's anything I need to buy." Lu Yan paused and looked at Gu Linbei seriously. "Don't worry, I'll be back soon. After all, you have to be present in person to buy food."
As she finished speaking, Gu Linbei also nodded.
He finally discovered it.
What delicate and weak daughter-in-law?
Does not exist.
His wife is not only independent-minded, but also good at making trouble.
Especially, the incident that happened when the family split up before.
It is obvious that they are causing trouble in a targeted manner.
"Be careful." Even though he knew what kind of person his wife was, Gu Linbei couldn't help but remind her, "This county town is getting more and more chaotic. You still have to pay attention to safety."
"I know." Lu Yan said, waving at the people behind him.
Perhaps it was because her movements were too casual, Gu Linbei felt inexplicably depressed.
His wife really doesn't rely on him at all.
Lu Yan and Gu Linbei went their separate ways and immediately started shopping. She had to be prepared for any eventuality, so she even bought several backpacks and baskets.
As for vegetables, Lu Yan also wanted to buy some.
But at a glance, all the vegetables looked wilted.
It even looked older than the old cow that Gu Linbei was leading.
After looking around, Lu Yan found that there were very few things that could be bought and taken away.
Thinking that she might have to stay in Xiaohe Village for a long time, Lu Yan took out another 30 kilograms of fine grains from her space and put them directly in the backpack. If Gu Linbei asked, she would say that she had bought them from someone.
After slowly turning around, Lu Yan took out two long swords from the space and put them in the backpack.
Then, he walked straight back.
By the time we arrived at the grain store, the line had shortened by half.
Lu Yan was just congratulating herself on returning in time when she heard the waiter in the grain store yell, "Don't queue! Don't queue! They're all gone! They're all gone!"
When everyone heard what he said, they stretched their necks to look forward.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t watch it, but once you watch it, everyone will be addicted to it.
The basket containing grain in front was already empty.
Seeing this scene, many people's faces turned pale instantly.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
The first person to speak was the old man in the front of the line.
Looking at his worried look, I knew that there was not much food left at home.
"Hey, everyone, please come earlier tomorrow! Even though our store has purchase limits... there isn't much food here anyway..." The waiter looked helpless.
At this moment, everyone's face showed some fatigue.
Lu Yan and Gu Linbei looked at each other.
Both of them were worried.
"Will tomorrow's food still be priced the same?" Someone in the crowd asked desperately.
As soon as these words came out, the waiter shook his head repeatedly.
Too.
Nowadays, there are more and more refugees coming to An County. There is not enough food to begin with, and now with the addition of a group of foreign refugees, it will be difficult to rob them.
Everyone was talking at once, and everyone was filled with fear.
Some people even surrounded the grain shop.
Some people are sad about not being able to buy food, and naturally some people will make a fuss about not having food.
But if throwing a tantrum really worked, no one would starve to death during famine.
Lu Yan sighed slightly and turned to look at Gu Linbei: "Let's go."
When Lu Yan saw Gu Linbei's worried look, she knew what he was thinking.
She paused, then reached out and held Gu Linbei's hand.
Although the woman's hands have thin calluses, they are still warm and soft to the touch.
Gu Linbei was stunned and turned to look at Lu Yan in confusion.
Then, Lu Yan's soft voice was heard: "Husband, I didn't have breakfast. Can you help me carry this backpack?"
When Lu Yan came over earlier, Gu Linbei saw the backpack on her back.
The backpack is brand new.
He didn't think much about it.
After all, in this year, few people would spend money to buy something like a backpack.
"Okay." Gu Linbei quickly agreed, holding the cow in one hand while taking Lu Yan's backpack.
The backpack is indeed quite heavy.
Gu Linbei was stunned for a moment, and when he stretched his head to look into the backpack again, he was really shocked.
Because there were thirty kilograms of rice in the backpack at that time.
Look at the quality of the rice, every grain is plump.
Gu Linbei has only eaten rice twice in his life.
Moreover, it is rice mixed with various grains.
Unexpectedly, his wife could actually get rice. Gu Linbei was a little surprised.
Just as he was about to speak, he looked at Lu Yan and saw her raising a finger to her lips.
Gu Linbei belatedly realized their current situation and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He almost got exposed.
"Okay, if we can't buy food, let's go back early."
Lu Yan sighed slightly, then looked up at the sky again: "I just don't know when it will rain today? Otherwise, what will happen to the crops in the fields?"
It was obvious that she was saying this to those people around her who were watching her closely.
After hearing Lu Yan's words, those who were staring at them immediately gave up their original plans.
He also secretly thought that life was difficult.
Gu Linbei was carrying the backpack. Although he knew that Lu Yan had obtained food, he was also happy for a moment.
But when I think about it carefully, I feel complicated.
Thirty kilograms of food is just a drop in the bucket for their family.
I’m afraid the days ahead won’t be any easier.
"Okay, stop looking so miserable." Lu Yan paused and spoke seriously, "The most urgent thing is to buy a cart. With a cart, life will be easier, right?"
Yes, Gu Linbei and his friends had not had time to buy an ox cart.
Because, to get to the carpenter's shop, you have to pass by the grain shop.
When Lu Yan and Gu Linbei saw that the grain shop was full of people, they were afraid that there was not enough food, so they lined up there first.
But I didn’t expect…
This food is really not enough.
Compared to the grain shop, the carpenter shop was extremely quiet.
The carpenter and his family sat at the door of the house, looking gloomy and miserable.
Looking at this desolate scene, Lu Yan couldn't help but think of the blacksmith shop yesterday.
For a moment, I didn’t know what to say.
"What would you like to buy, guys?"
The carpenter was a bearded man. When he saw Lu Yan and Gu Linbei coming over, his eyes lit up immediately.
"Do you have an ox cart?" Gu Linbei asked directly as he came up.
He has finally figured it out.
From his wife constantly saying that the year was bad, to later when a war broke out in the north.
He had a vague feeling that they might really have to leave their hometown.
