Chapter 91 Suspension of Business
Since she had come to the space, Ji He had no plan to go out directly. She simply lowered her head and started to work. The poultry grew very fast. Ji He estimated that within a year, the pigs in her space should be able to give birth to piglets.
Although we won’t be able to eat pork in the short term, there is still hope.
The chicks are very active in groups, and even the smallest ones have begun to molt.
Ji He first fed them the maggots. The chickens, regardless of whether they were meat or vegetables, were fighting happily for the food.
After feeding the insects, Ji He started feeding the chickens.
If you want to grow up healthily, you need to eat more food.
The rabbits were also very obedient. Normally, they should be animals that love to dig holes, but they had no intention of digging holes in the grass. They just moved around on the grass. They were not afraid of Ji He at all and even ran over.
Following Ji He, they have been through a lot. Before, they could eat some vegetable roots, cabbage stalks and the like, but since all the vegetable roots in the space were eaten up, they can only eat some grass.
Fortunately, Ji He still has some conscience and gives me half a carrot a day, otherwise my life would be like being soaked in Coptis chinensis water.
The vegetables in the space were ripe now, so Ji He fed them some lettuce leaves.
"Eat, your treatment is much better than that of people outside, you should cherish it."
The rabbits were very considerate and ate all of it.
Ji He turned around and went to the hill and picked the ripe vegetables.
After finishing his work, Ji He left the space and prepared to have breakfast.
A bowl of sticky black rice porridge, with a steamed bun, and a portion of stuffed meat with chili peppers and beef ribs.
Ji He was eating breakfast while browsing his phone. As soon as he opened the community group, he saw bad news.
[Director Xu: "Because the city police force is insufficient, the supermarket is temporarily closed. The business hours will be notified separately. Water, electricity and gas will continue to be available as usual."]
[Home with two babies: Are you kidding me?! All the food in our house has been stolen, and now the supermarket is closed. Are they planning to starve us to death?]
[Shan Ge: When did you catch the guy? When I got home yesterday, my house was completely emptied, and even the water that couldn't be moved was poured out! These guys are so wicked!]
【Director Xu: "Please work hard to overcome this and trust the government."】
[Home with Two Treasures: Believe it? How can I believe it? Everything in my house has been stolen. If I don’t have anything to eat, I will starve to death! ]
【American Ginseng: Let’s get over it. This disaster has affected half of the city, and the government is under great pressure. 】
[Home with Two Treasures: Are you pretending to be a good person here? What does it have to do with you? Are you pretending to be a big shot here? Who can you represent? ]
[American Ginseng: You are really unreasonable. ]
[Director Xu: The government has decided to continue recruiting talented people and veterans to form a security organization. There will be specialized personnel leading the team. Please sign up actively.]
【Director Xu: Please trust the government and the country. The difficulties are only temporary. The government will not tolerate such behavior.】
There was another quarrel in the group. Many people were very aggressive in their words and would start typing frantically if they disagreed with something.
Ji He looked for a while and then left.
Since the supermarket is closed, she will go to the mountains to collect firewood today.
It just so happens that the stove at home is short of firewood. It’s so hot, I guess there must be a lot of dry firewood on the mountain.
6:30 in the evening.
Ji He put on his sun protection clothes, tightened his backpack, pushed his bicycle, turned around and walked out.
This time she went in the exact opposite direction of the way she went to the supermarket.
There is a small hill about half an hour's bike ride away from her home. There are many trees on the hill. Ji He plans to go to the hill today to see if she can pick up some firewood.
It’s best to pick up more at one time to avoid having to go again.
She also has to keep an eye on the time and make sure to get home on time before the water comes at 2 a.m.
Unlike what she had imagined, she thought there wouldn't be many people on this road, but she met quite a few people carrying plastic bags, walking with flashlights, and waving electric mosquito swatters in their hands from time to time.
Are you going up the mountain?
Time was not very abundant, and Ji He had no time to waste on the road. She lowered her head and concentrated on riding her bike, riding quickly towards her destination.
It was getting dark, and there were no street lights. Ji He couldn't see the road, so he had to tie a flashlight to the handlebars of his bicycle. It took him more than 30 minutes to reach his destination.
She was not the first group of people to arrive. There were still 4 or 5 people at the foot of the mountain. They looked at Ji He vigilantly, turned around, carried the bags and walked quickly up the mountain, and soon disappeared.
Ji He: “???”
Are so many people fighting for this little firewood?
She wasn't very nervous at first, but the atmosphere created by this group of people made her a little anxious.
She found a corner, put the car in the space, found the rope, and started up the mountain along the path.
The mountain road is not easy to walk on, Ji He wants to go higher and pick up firewood from top to bottom.
As she was walking attentively, an old lady came up to her and asked, "Girl, why are you walking so fast? Where are you going to pick wild vegetables?"
"Digging wild vegetables?" Ji He repeated softly. So these people were going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables?
"Yes, if you're not here to pick wild vegetables, why are you here?" The old lady had an expression that said, "I understand everything, stop pretending," and she grabbed Ji He's arm. "We have to work together to pick wild vegetables. With your weak arms and legs, you won't be able to protect them if you pick too much. Why don't you join us? You only need to give us half of the wild vegetables you pick."
Ji He: “…”
It’s quite dark. I’m digging wild vegetables. Do you want half?
Is this called exploitation at every level?
"Grandma, I won't go. I can't dig any wild vegetables." Ji He refused. She really didn't come here for the wild vegetables today. She wanted to pick up firewood and didn't want anyone around her.
The old lady was unwilling and tried to persuade him a few more times. Seeing that Ji He was not going to listen, she threw her arm and said harshly, "You will regret it sooner or later. Don't come to beg me when the time comes."
After saying this, the old lady turned and left. There were three grown men in their group and she was the only woman, who was waiting for her with a flashlight.
As she went home by herself, a few of them whispered to each other and looked at Ji He several times.
Ji He ignored them and turned around to continue walking up the mountain. Although her fighting ability was average, she would not be a pushover if someone really provoked her.
When the time comes, this big shovel will hit your head. Whether you can withstand it depends on how hard your head is!
She has been in the orphanage for so long, and she doesn't rely on reason to convince people. If there were ten or eight strong men, she would just turn around and run away without saying a word. She is not really afraid of just two or three.
