Chapter 40: Let each of you have food to eat
Xiang Yu soon remembered the two people she had buried in the yard, "I don't know, I didn't see them."
"The villagers said that Jiawang's wife came to see you before. Do you really not know where she went?" The man continued to ask relentlessly.
When Xiang Yu opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man who looked somewhat like Xiang Jiawang standing in front of the door.
The man looked Xiang Yu up and down. Seeing Xiang Yu's clean appearance, he felt impressed that a college student knew how to live his life.
Xiang Yu didn't know what he was thinking. "His wife came to see me before, and everyone in the village saw it, but she left that day, and I don't know where she went."
He lied to Xiang Yu without blinking.
"I am Jiawang's younger brother. If you see my sister-in-law and my brother, please let me know. I live in the west end of the village."
"good……."
After shaking off the snow on his body, Xiang Yu continued to be busy after entering the house, winding the wool thread bit by bit according to the instructions in the video.
Another half a month passed, during which time Xiang Yu and Xiang Cheng went into the mountains again, but they did not catch any wild boars, only a few pheasants and rabbits.
The large animals have now moved deeper into the forest, and only the small animals are still active on the outskirts.
When plucking the hair, Xiang Yu discovered that a lot of the hair on these animals seemed to have grown back.
In order to resist the severe cold, they actually grew hair a second time.
Xiang Yu did not throw away the skinned rabbit. Instead, he made a few pairs of insoles by himself, which were quite warm.
After the rice was harvested, another batch was planted, and during this period Xiang Yu secretly filled the reservoir with a lot of water.
Snow water was also collected and poured into large barrels after it melted every day. More than a dozen large barrels were placed outside.
In just over an hour, you can get a completely solidified ice cube.
Store the ice cubes in space and use them to cool down when the temperature rises in the future.
In addition to collecting ice cubes in the afternoon, Xiang Yu also steamed rice on the stove and stewed a pot of pork ribs, which he packaged and stored in the space.
She prepared a lot of nutritious ready-to-eat meals for herself, combining meat and vegetables and ensuring a balanced nutrition.
Time flies and the third month of the blizzard has passed quietly. The village is quieter than usual. The snow is still falling, but it seems to be getting lighter.
It has been more than a month since the last distribution of supplies.
Bang, bang, bang. The door of the room that had been silent for half a month was knocked. Xiang Yu stuck his head out and saw several aunts standing outside the door.
"It's still alive, look, it's out..." The lips of several aunts were chapped due to the cold, and there was a layer of white dead skin stuck on them.
The exposed backs of his hands were also covered with frostbite, and the red and swollen bumps were covered with blood and scabs.
Xiang Yu wrapped himself tightly, and the few people could not see any changes in Xiang Yu.
"They are really alive. Young people are full of energy, unlike us..."
Several people stood in front of Xiangyumen and started discussing.
"Aunt, there's something..." Xiang Yu pretended to close the door.
"Xiang Yu, wait a minute, the aunts want to talk to you about something," a man came forward and pulled at Xiang Yu's iron gate.
But the moment his hand touched the iron gate, he shrank back with a hiss because of the cold. "Xiang Yu, we are going to the village chief's house to ask when the government will distribute food. We are here to ask you to go with us."
Xiang Yu thought about it and agreed. Her persona in the village was that of a college student who had just returned home.
It is normal to have no supplies. If she doesn't take a positive attitude in this matter, then these aunts will be angry.
She can weave flowers out of the materials in her hands.
Xiang Yu asked them to go first and he would follow later. Then they chatted and laughed as they went to inform others.
"Xiang Yu is such a pitiful girl. How can she live with such little supplies? Look how thin she is."
"Poor thing. When you mention this, I think of Widow Wang's family. Do you know that many of them felt unbalanced when they received the supplies last time?"
"Although the village chief decided to resolve the issue, two days later, all the supplies in Widow Wang's home were stolen."
"What? It was stolen? How come we didn't know about such a big thing..."
"You probably don't know that it's not convenient for our intelligence department to visit each other in this cold weather."
"Aunt Yun, please stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us what's going on. It makes me feel really anxious."
Aunt Yun had a smile on her face. Listening to the flattery from several people, she felt a little elated for a moment. The anger she had suffered at home recently was finally smoothed out a lot.
"I saw it with my own eyes. Widow Wang was carrying her child at the doorstep of the village chief's house and was about to commit suicide. Later, the village chief gave her some supplies and she left."
"Did the village chief really give her something?" an aunt standing at the back of the group asked, her eyes rolling around.
It seems like he is up to some evil intentions.
When Xiang Yu arrived at the village chief's house to join in the fun, he found that almost half of the villagers had come.
The village chief still held his welding pipe in his hand, but there was no tobacco in it. He habitually picked it up and put it to his lips to smack it.
The villagers around were still expressing their demands one by one, as if the village chief was omnipotent and could solve their problems.
He sat there without saying a word, and there seemed to be a few more white hairs on his head.
When the crowd gradually quieted down, he knocked on the welding cigarette stick habitually and said, "I know what you mean, but now the satellite signal is gone and the government cannot be contacted. There is nothing I can do."
"You are the village chief, how could you not have a solution?" someone in the crowd shouted.
The village chief looked at him with cloudy eyes, "I have a family of my own and I have to make a living. I know your difficulties. I am just the head of a small mountain village. I am not omnipotent."
"If you think I'm not capable, then well, while everyone is here today, you can re-elect a village chief."
The old man glanced at the house behind him, and through the window, he saw his family looking at him from inside.
At once, many people in the crowd showed signs of interest. The man walked out of the crowd and stood directly next to the village chief.
"If I become the village chief, I guarantee that everyone in the village will have enough food to eat," the people who were originally discussing turned their eyes directly to the man.
"Xiang Wu, how could you be the new village chief..."
Doubts were raised all around, but Xiang Wu was not panicked at all. "If I were the village chief, you would have food to eat every day, and the food would be different every day."
"What are you talking about? You say something different every day," the aunts rolled their eyes. Xiang Yu looked at Xiang Wu with interest.
Those who had been ready to make a move before now turned their eyes to Xiang Wu who was standing next to the village chief.
They also wanted to be the village chief, but Xiang Wu's words just now were obviously very attractive to everyone.
