After applying the medicine, I didn't rush back to the master bedroom to help.
Unfortunately, this medicine works very quickly, but it will take time to cure.
At the same time, I also personally experienced the formidable power of those ancient prescriptions in the space.
It was just a tiny bit, barely enough to cover a fingernail, yet it almost disfigured him.
Fortunately, the medicine was harmless to his body; otherwise, he would probably have died five, six, seven, or eight times over.
No wonder those drugs and poisons are so difficult to concoct; no one has succeeded in researching them for so long.
So the effects are so powerful that they're trying to deter those with wavering minds by focusing on the production process.
Our ancestors were right; they considered everything very thoroughly!
Shen Yanming hid in the guest room and waited for the effects of the medicine to wear off, but as he lay there, he fell asleep.
In the master bedroom, Bi Qiaoan, after busy changing the diapers and feeding the two babies, heard the house was quiet and felt a little suspicious.
When I went out to look for Shen Yanming, I saw him half-lying on the bed with one leg dangling on the floor, having just fallen asleep.
She shook her head and chuckled, not waking him. He must be tired after all that commotion this morning. Let him rest.
She gently closed the door and carried her two little ones into the space.
The next few days went by as usual.
Shen Yanming completely cleared up the pimples on his face and didn't want to turn himself into a pus-filled face again.
So he stopped going out for walks and spent his days hiding in his online space, shamelessly flirting with Bi Qiaoan.
Of course, the two of them still had to consider the little one. Even when they were sleeping, they wouldn't do anything inappropriate for children in front of them.
So you have to do this in private.
Shen Yanming has completely let himself go. For a while now, to keep his secret from being discovered, he couldn't be intimate with his wife every day despite having a pus-filled face. Looking back, he was incredibly foolish.
It's really disheartening to have missed out on so many benefits.
Fortunately, it's not too late. At least for now, my wife and I can eat at the same table, sleep in the same bed, and take baths together every day...
Cough cough, even without nosebleeds, he's still willing to endure the sweet torment.
Time flew by and it was already the end of June; the summer grain harvest in Qinghua Kingdom had been completed.
According to the national summer grain production data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the total national summer grain output in 2010 was 10,000 tons, a decrease of 22.303 million tons compared with 2019, a year-on-year decrease of 15.19%.
Wheat production reached 10,000 tons, an increase of 542,000 tons compared to 2,259, representing a year-on-year increase of 0.527%.
The sown area of summer grain in 2260 increased slightly, but the yield per unit area decreased. National summer grain output continued its downward trend for the third consecutive year.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were bored in their space, so they decided to come out and check the news. But when they turned on the TV, they saw this rather unpleasant news.
What does the continued decline mean? It means that people's lives are getting harder year by year.
Even without going out and about, one can imagine that life in China is far from peaceful during this period.
Even so, it should still be much better than abroad.
At least Qinghua Kingdom had done a lot of preparatory work in the early stages, with its guards building several secret granaries. This would allow them to buy themselves some time when they were truly at their wits' end.
But things are different overseas. Even with the information revealed by Qinghe Alliance, they started too late. In the struggle of the apocalypse, falling behind at one step means falling behind at every step.
Even setting aside ensuring that people have enough to eat and wear, just guaranteeing that there are no riots in the country would be an outstanding achievement.
Unlike Qinghua Kingdom, even if life is miserable, at least it can be considered a peaceful and prosperous country.
Sigh, life is all about comparison. That's why more and more people want to move to Qinghua Kingdom.
However, Qinghe Alliance can't even take care of the people in China, so how could they possibly receive outsiders?
Even if you have money (pfft, what good is money these days?), it's still impossible.
In order to survive, some reckless individuals attempt to cross the border.
Not to mention the border guards protecting the country, even if they weren't discovered, the oceans, mountains, and deserts surrounding Qinghua Kingdom could still drag people half to death.
Even if you are extremely lucky and manage to overcome these obstacles, you will still be an unregistered resident in Qinghua Country.
You won't get any of the benefits and privileges, and life won't be much better than it is abroad.
It would be worthwhile to find a secluded corner to cultivate the land.
Anyway, the domestic environment in Qinghua is relatively stable. As long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to have enough to eat.
That is, people abroad, unlike the people of Qinghua, have developed a natural talent for "farming".
They held the seeds, staring blankly at the ground, still utterly lost. They ate grass roots and gnawed on tree bark, but nothing would grow.
Sigh, it's really a miserable situation.
They can finally get a good night's sleep without worrying about thugs rushing in and taking them away to be used as lambs or sex toys.
It is these considerations that have drawn both those who can make a living and those who cannot to settle down in Qinghua Kingdom.
Of course, these are all major national events, so they just listen. Under the layers of protection of the guards, ordinary people have virtually no access to that much information.
However, on a smaller scale, grain production is closely related to their lives.
Bi Qiaoan asked, "This data is quite strange. Total output decreased year-on-year, but wheat output increased year-on-year. Moreover, one decreased significantly, while the other increased only slightly. How did they manage that?"
Shen Yanming smiled and pulled her into his arms. "You forgot? Because of climate change, the country encouraged the planting of winter wheat last year. I suppose that's why wheat production has increased."
As for the decline in total yield, it's probably related to the northern region. Last winter, the wheat seedlings there were frostbitten, and even after the ground thawed and replanted, the effects won't be immediately apparent.
"So what's reflected in the data is such a large year-on-year decrease? If the residents there don't have any stored grain, we don't know if they can hold out until the autumn harvest."
"Don't worry, the league will take care of these things. They won't let anyone starve."
Bi Qiaoan sighed, "I know, but if we consider their interests, we'll infringe on others' interests. No wonder there are more and more conflicts outside now, it's all because of food shortages! We used to be able to import, but now, they're probably begging Qinghua Kingdom to export grain!"
"Yes, there is such a saying online, but it is quite controversial."
"Thinking about it, it makes sense. We can barely take care of ourselves, so how can we have any surplus to help others? As the saying goes, when you're poor, you should take care of yourself."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Yes, that's right! In fact, many countries have vast lands and populations, and their living conditions are better than those of Qinghua. But their governments are inactive, and they haven't developed their own talent for planting, so they are just sitting on a treasure trove without knowing how to use it, and they are crying and begging for food all day long."
Bi Qiaoan was taken aback, then her eyes lit up. "Hehe, why don't we let the Qinghe Alliance develop those countries into colonies? We won't even talk about burning, killing, and looting; we can just utilize the farmland and split the harvest 50/50."
