"September girl, we are fleeing famine now. What do you want those seeds for? You can't even eat two bites of them. You might as well eat yams."
The seeds are expensive, but the seeds brought by the village chief were all kept by himself and he did not spend money to buy them.
"Village chief, I know that. I'll save it and plant it when I get to the resettlement area."
The matter of the space cannot be told to anyone, so Lin Jiuyue lied without blushing or beating her heart.
The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
This girl has even arranged her future affairs. It seems that she has a plan in mind.
"Okay, but I don't have many seeds at home. I'll get you some."
"Village Chief, I don't want too much either. Just a dozen or so of each will be fine."
village head:……
What's the point of having ten or so seeds? What if none of them sprout? Wouldn't that be the same as having nothing?
"How can these seeds be worth so many yams? Just wait, I'll bring them to you right away. You don't want these yams."
As soon as he finished speaking, the village chief put down the yam and was about to leave.
When Lin Jiuyue saw that the village chief put the yam back into the backpack, he didn't dare to call for help. He just picked up the yam and chased after him.
Following the village chief, they soon arrived at where the village chief's family was. Lin Jiuyue placed the yam in front of the village chief's wife.
"Auntie, this is yam. Wash it and boil it and you can eat it. If you don't have water to wash it, just roast it directly on the fire. It tastes good. I'll give you some to try."
The village chief's wife looked at the things she had never seen before placed in front of her, and when she heard Lin Jiuyue say that these things were edible, a light suddenly flashed in her eyes.
I looked up and saw that it was Lin Jiuyue who delivered the gift, and felt a little embarrassed.
"Jiuyue girl, I heard about your situation from my headmaster. You don't have much to eat anyway. Take this back and it will help you fill your stomach."
Even though this yam only weighs four or five pounds, it can at least fill the stomach. Moreover, now is a period of fleeing famine, so this little bit of food is particularly important.
Lin Jiuyue shook her head.
"Auntie, please don't be so polite to me. I didn't give this to you for free. The village chief promised to give me grain seeds. So we can consider it as an exchange."
When the village chief's wife heard this, she turned and looked at the village chief.
I saw the village chief taking something from the mule cart where his things were kept.
The village chief's wife didn't want to take advantage of Lin Jiuyue, but she was also worried that the village chief would take too many things.
These grains are all we have at home, and after arriving at the local area, we will still rely on these grains to make a living.
"September, come, one of the same. When we get there~"
The village chief stopped talking midway.
It is still a question whether these people can reach their destination alive.
Even if you reach your destination alive, there is no guarantee that the seeds will still be there.
Maybe they get hungry on the road and eat these seeds?
No matter how expensive the seeds are, you still need land to plant them. To be honest, the seeds I have at home are really not as good as the yam that Lin Jiuyue gave me.
Lin Jiuyue saw that the village chief's mood became depressed.
"Don't worry, village chief. We will all reach our destination safely."
Lin Jiuyue didn't say much to comfort them. After all, they were fleeing famine, and no one knew what would happen along the way.
After taking the seeds, Lin Jiuyue found a deserted place and handed the seeds to Bubble.
After getting the seeds, Bubble happily planted them.
"Master, the seeds you gave me have grown and can be harvested soon."
Lin Jiuyue was a little excited when she suddenly heard this good news.
"real?"
"Of course it's true. One day of plant growth in space is equivalent to one year in the outside world."
Lin Jiuyue smacked her lips.
This space is really a cheating tool. It's just that the area is too small. If it were bigger, it would be hard not to get rich.
"Paopao, after the grain is harvested, you can continue to plant those seeds."
Only about twenty seeds were dug out from the mouse hole. Even if all of them germinated, the harvest would not be much.
"Well, I'll try my best."
Following the crowd of disaster victims, Lin Jiuyue used her consciousness to check the space as she walked. She found that the space was just as Bubble had said. The rice she had planted earlier was ready to be harvested. However, the amount was not large, only about five pounds.
But if these five kilograms of rice were all used for seeds, who knows how many more five kilograms would be harvested next time. Furthermore, the space was growing at an incredible rate. In less than two days, he would be able to eat delicious rice.
Thinking of this, Lin Jiuyue swallowed helplessly.
It has been three days since I came here, and I haven't eaten a single bite of rice.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Qiye poked Lin Jiuyue with his elbow.
"The rice in space can be harvested."
Lin Jiuyue lowered her voice and spoke in Lin Qiye's ear.
"Huh? So fast?"
"Shh, keep your voice down."
Lin Qiye hurriedly covered his mouth and nodded happily.
"Sister, will we be able to eat rice soon? Since we came here, it's been hard to even fill our stomachs, let alone rice."
Glancing at Lin Qiye.
"I wonder if Paopao can hull the rice. If he can, we can eat it."
The two of them lowered their heads and talked in low voices, afraid of being heard by others.
"Sister, then you should ask quickly."
Hearing that the rice could be harvested, Lin Qiye wished he could have some rice to eat right now.
"Everyone hurry up and try to reach the next city before dark."
The village chief's voice rang out among the team.
After walking for two days, the victims in the team were a little numb. After hearing the words of the village chief, they seemed to have hope again.
"Next is Jingyang County. I heard that the drought here isn't as severe as it is in Qing'an County. What do you think? Will it be okay for us to stay in Qing'an County?"
The people in the team wanted to stay in Jingyang County.
"What are you thinking? Jingyang County is such a small place, how can it possibly accept so many of us disaster victims? If we resettle them all in Jingyang County, the local officials will have a headache."
Lin Jiuyue listened to the discussions in the crowd without interrupting.
The imperial court issued an edict that the disaster victims in Qing'an County must be relocated to various counties within thirty miles of the capital. The villagers of the counties must not be disturbed along the way.
If you stay in Jingyang County, you will not be able to register your household registration.
Those without household registration will be treated as refugees.
As long as someone is labeled a vagrant, the government can beat or kill him at will.
Lin Jiuyue didn't want to capsize in this shabby place for such a small matter. She came here to live a good life.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Can we just stop anywhere along the way? We'll go wherever the court tells us to go."
The village chief scolded the person who spoke.
Since ancient times, the people have never fought against the government. Moreover, we are now disaster victims, struggling to even fill our stomachs, yet these people want to stir up trouble. Do they think our lives aren't difficult enough?
