Chapter 13 The Dilemma of No Food
  Everyone was startled by him, and then several captains followed him and knelt down together.

"Secretary, we are begging you. We really have no food. We have no food in our stomachs and no energy to work."

Gu Qianshan and the captain stood there, watching their humble requests. How could the secretary see them kneel down like this and quickly ran over to help them up.

"It's not that I won't give you food, it's just that I can't help it. I don't even have food here."

The secretary tried to talk things over, and then they were able to talk things through.

They went back dejected, with expressions of despair on their faces.

Gu Qianshan really couldn't stand it, so he went over and made some inquiries.

If you don't ask, you won't know. If you ask, you will be shocked.

Most of the people in their village had no food at home, so they all relied on the women at home to dig some bark from the mountains or even find some leaves to cook and eat directly.

All the wild vegetables that are really edible are reserved for the men in the family.

Every village has its own predicament, but these kneeling captains really have no choice.

Gu Qianshan and the captain returned to the village. As soon as they arrived in the village, many people gathered around them.

Everyone was asking about the relief food, and after finally getting the answer, they left with a look of helplessness, shaking their heads as they walked.

When Gu Qianshan returned home, Gu Xue was coming back from school.

Seeing Gu Qianshan sitting there, and thinking about the reason why he went out today, he suddenly knew everything.

"Grandpa, how about the relief food in the village?"

Gu Qianshan shook his head and said nothing, just touching Gu Xue's smooth hair.

"Axue, I went to the secretary with the captain today. The relief food cannot be delivered, and several villages are almost unable to survive."

Everyone in their group has survived the most difficult years, and now they are slowly getting better, but they can't stand it any longer.

Just when Gu Xue and Gu Qianshan were about to eat, the captain suddenly came to the door.

When the captain came, he had the same sad look on his face.

It seemed that something had happened. Gu Xue originally wanted to go back to the room first.

But the captain directly asked him to come over, and then spoke in front of the two of them.

It turned out to be from the next village, the village where the captain knelt down in the first place. The people in the village were eating to death.

The captain just came back and found out what happened.

It turned out that there was a family who couldn't stand the hunger anymore and went to the mountains to find food.

The family saw the water taro on the mountain. They were so hungry that they couldn't bear it anymore. They dug out the water taro and ate it. Not long after the family finished eating, it was gone.

If the people living next door hadn't noticed that it was almost afternoon, there would have been no movement from the family. When they went over to take a look, they realized that the whole family was gone.

As soon as this incident came out, the captain, who was already desperate, suddenly couldn't stand it anymore.

Just when they returned to the village, the captain led the people in the village and pushed all the bodies of these people to the door of the secretary's office.

The secretary saw this kind of thing, especially the corpses of a family of five, and the people in the village kneeling down.

We had no choice but to take out all the food in their office.

Even taking out the food in this way was a drop in the bucket, and the matter quickly spread to various villages. Gu Qianshan was almost confused after hearing this. They had water taro here, but they had been told not to eat it since they were children.

Gu Xue recalled what water taro looked like in her memory, and was shocked when she thought about it.

This kind of water taro will be called Dripping Water Guanyin in the future. It is highly poisonous. The roots are very similar to taro, but you will die soon after eating it.

As long as people live in the village, people in the family will remind them that they must not eat these things.

"Qianshan, you have seen a lot outside in the past, and Ashue, you have read more books and have more knowledge. I just want you to hold a meeting for everyone tomorrow."

Gu Qianshan thought for a while and agreed. Now that food is in short supply, he is really worried that some people will not listen to the advice from his family and eat poisonous things.

Especially the water taro. I have never heard of anyone surviving after eating it.

After the captain left, the grandfather and grandson had no appetite for food, so they ate some.

The next day soon came. Gu Xue had to go to class, so she took her children directly to the grain drying field.

On the grain drying ground, people from the entire village came. Gu Qianshan stood on a high platform made of wooden boards, holding several poisonous plants in his hands, especially water taro and common taro.

After Gu Xue brought the child here, she followed him on stage.

"Ahem... Everyone knows what happened in the village next door. Although we are short of food now, we must pay attention to these things when we go to dig wild vegetables in the mountains."

As soon as the captain finished speaking, Gu Qianshan went up to the stage with these plants.

The grandfather and grandson worked together to explain, but they explained it clearly. They had just heard about the village next door eating taro and eating people to death, so they didn't dare not take it seriously.

If some naughty children are not serious, the adults next to them will give them a hard fight and immediately listen quietly.

After the lecture, everyone went back to work in the fields, and Gu Xue also took the children back to school.

Not long after, I heard that a batch of relief food finally arrived. It was because five people died at that time and the incident was too big. The superiors finally allocated a batch of food to them.

When Gu Qianshan followed the captain to collect the food, there was no happy expression on his face.

If possible, I really don’t want to get attention from above just because someone died.

In fact, the relief food received was not much, and most of it was given to those villages that were in difficulty. But at least it relieved everyone's urgent need, and at least they were able to have enough to eat.

Gu Xue had just finished taking classes for a period of time, and it was finally time to take a break.

On the way, I saw several families of people carrying little chickens in their hands.

When she saw these little chickens, Gu Xue quickly stopped them.

"Axue, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Xue pointed to the chick in his hand and asked: "May I ask where you bought this chick? Does he still have it at home? How many can our family raise?"

The man glanced at Gu Xue, thought for a moment and then said: "There should be some chickens in Gu Jianguo's country now. Each family can only keep two. You can change them yourself."

Nowadays, the crackdown on private transactions is relatively strict. It cannot be used as a transaction. It can only be said that it is exchanged for some things in the home.

After hearing this, Gu Xue smiled and said, "Thank you!"
