Chapter 376: Lack of Food
The night passed like this.
The next day, Shen Yanming got up early as usual, drank a bowl of porridge, and then gathered to dig for supplies.
Bi Qiaoan couldn't sleep after Shen Yanming left. She picked some fruits from the space and ate them, then grabbed a handful of corn kernels to feed the goose.
Recently, the presence of the goose is too low. Because it has to protect Bi Qiaoan, its range of activities is basically five meters away from the tent. Moreover, because it is outside, it dare not feed it any good food. Every day, it is fed with a handful of corn kernels and a bowl of water, which makes the goose depressed.
Even so, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were still worried. They were afraid that people would accuse them of wasting food to raise pets, or that if there was no food one day, they would turn their attention to the big goose.
These were things the two had not thought about before coming to Su City, but even if they had thought about it, Shen Yanming would probably bring the big goose with him. After all, it acts as a bodyguard.
After feeding the big goose, Bi Qiaoan walked around with her big belly. When she got tired, she went to the temporary restaurant to chat with the guard.
Because they had eaten all the fresh vegetables in the past two days, Bi Qiaoan did not come to help pick vegetables. Today, she was worried, so she sat down and exchanged a few words before getting down to business.
"I noticed that my husband eats less and less. Is he running out of food?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
The guard was stunned at first, but then he remembered that Bi Qiaoan was in the same unit as them, so he did not hide it, "It's not much. I dare not eat too much, for fear that I will have to go without food if I finish it."
Bi Qiaoan exclaimed: "Is it so serious?"
The guard nodded and said, "Think about it, if tens of millions of people are supported by the guards' small amount of food, how long can they last?
In the past, we didn’t have to worry about going hungry because everyone had surplus food at home. But now, it’s hard to get food in a short time, so we can only eat sparingly, hoping that the income and expenditure can be balanced.
But don't worry too much, just wait until all the food is dug out."
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
At this time, Shen Yanming was listening to Li Gangtie encouraging everyone.
"Everyone performed very well yesterday, and I hope you can keep up the good work today. As usual, after the excavation is over, everyone can take away one piece of loot in addition to food. It doesn't matter whether it's gold, jewelry, quilts, or clothes. It's up to you to choose."
As soon as Li Gangtie finished speaking, everyone started to move, as if they had endless energy.
However, Shen Yanming was the same as usual, neither falling behind nor standing out. He just maintained a similar level, not tiring himself too much, and not falling behind.
Li Gangtie felt relieved when he saw the busy work scene.
Last night he reported that he had privately decided to reward his team members. He originally thought that he would be criticized, but in the end, not only was he not criticized, but he was even recognized.
Because the other captains of the escort team had already discovered this problem, the team members were not well fed and had low work enthusiasm, and they had no idea what to do about it. Li Gangtie gave them a suggestion, and they could try it in their own team to see if it worked.
Li Gangtie was too relaxed too early. Because of his encouraging policy, some people worked hard without considering their own situation, and fainted under the scorching sun.
"Hey, Jiang Zeli, what's wrong with you?" Ye Qingxiong saw Jiang Zeli 5 meters in front of him, staggered and fell to the ground.
He hurried forward and saw a wound on Jiang Zeli's forehead, about 3 cm long but not deep. It was obviously caused by being scratched by gravel when he fell.
Ye Qingxiong pushed Jiang Zeli twice and said, "Are you okay? Wake up!" But the other party didn't move at all.
Ye Qingxiong was anxious and shouted to the distance: "Hurry up, something happened!
Shen Yanming heard someone shouting, threw away the tools in his hand, and ran towards the source of the sound. Looking at the person lying on the ground, he couldn't help but be startled.
"What happened?" Li Gangtie, who arrived shortly after, pushed through the crowd, squatted down and felt Jiang Zeli's breath. Seeing that he was still breathing, he said, "Hurry up and send him to the medical staff to see what's going on."
"Oh!" Ye Qingxiong agreed and was about to carry Jiang Zeli to drive, but he didn't know whether he was scared or tired from working too much. In short, he almost fell down before he took two steps.
Shen Yanming was not far away. Seeing this, he quickly supported the two people and turned to Li Gangtie and said, "I'll take them there. I'll be back as soon as everything is fine!"
Li Gangtie nodded and said, "Go ahead. If the situation is serious, you guys stay there and take care of him."
Shen Yanming nodded to indicate that he understood, then the princess picked up Jiang Zeli and walked towards the vehicle with steady steps.
Li Gangtie's eyes flashed when he saw this scene. He chuckled. He didn't expect that there was such a capable person in the team. He was almost deceived by him.
But he didn't intend to expose her. After all, she completed her work on time and in full every day. You can't say that she was holding back and think that she didn't work hard. No one is stupid, right?
When Shen Yanming and Ye Qingxiong found the doctor with Jiang Zeli in their arms, they scared the other party because the patient's face was covered in blood and they thought it was a serious matter.
After a checkup, it was found that it was hypoglycemia and a little heat stroke. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was because I ate too little and worked too much, my body couldn't bear it, and the strong sun made it explode. It's not a serious problem, just eat well and take care of yourself.
However, the wound on the forehead needs to be treated. The doctor suggested that I get two stitches, otherwise it will heal slowly.
Shen Yanming and Ye Qingxiong had no objection, after all, the wound was not on their bodies. They wanted to ask Jiang Zeli what he thought, but he was still unconscious and couldn't make a decision.
So, Shen Yanming asked Ye Qingxiong to stay here while he went to find something to eat for Jiang Zeli.
Because the medical area and the place where the victims lived were adjacent to each other, Shen Yanming directly felt the sallow complexion, skinny body, and depressed spirit of these refugees.
Shen Yanming felt a little uncomfortable. Compared with them, the guards looked much stronger. He didn't stay for long. He asked someone for the direction of the restaurant and walked over.
When he explained the situation to the chef and asked for a bowl of porridge, he was refused. The reason was simple: he was afraid that Shen Yanming was cheating for food, so he needed a doctor's certificate before he could give him porridge.
Shen Yanming understood this approach, but he didn't want to waste time, so he took his ID to the chef and asked him to make him a bowl of porridge first, and then redeem the ID after he got the certificate.
The chef thought about it and agreed.
