The fertile farm girl in the portable space

Chapter 146 Fighting against famine (2)
The old lady bowed and took a closer look. It was really good rice. The rice grains were long and narrow, and she said with a smile: "Well, it's not bad, let's start with the whole fifty catties!"

The shopkeeper's instant petrification... After a while, he wiped off his sweat and said: "Old lady, with all due respect, this is the best rice in our store, and your 50 taels is enough to buy ten catties. Did you see it? It's marked, 5 taels a catty!"

The old lady suddenly frowned, her eyes widened, she shook her hand, and threw all the rice, "What, what! 5 taels! Are you selling rice or gold? No! I'll see for myself."

The old lady asked them row by row, the price of the rice grains, the expensive old lady was speechless, the price of the worst yellow, slightly musty old rice has also increased five or six times, secretly said in her heart, obediently Burrows, this is a sky-high price!How many times has it been doubled!
The old lady was cruel, bought 30 catties of the most inferior rice, carried it on her shoulders and walked out. When she was about to go out, the old lady suddenly turned her head, pointed at the shopkeeper, and spat out viciously, "You evil black merchants! , will be punished by God! Wait, starved to death, I will look for you in the middle of the night."

The shopkeeper and the guys in the store froze collectively, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing by, shivering.With tile-roofed houses, food, fruits and vegetables, the life of the Hai family can be counted as prosperous all of a sudden, with enough food, the famine is not so difficult, and the disheveled face gradually turns around Become ruddy.Other peasant households in Qingshui Village are having a hard time, and they are envious of his family. They all wonder why the Hai family has no adult males and no labor, but why the days are getting better and better, and they can remain invincible in the famine era.Envy, jealousy, all kinds of eyes are projected here, the old lady is very proud. In the past, the Hai family was first-class poor in Qingshui Village, and they were often ridiculed by other families. Now, we have enough to eat. Wear it, you can only watch it hungry.

Summer was over, and the famine lasted for several months and intensified.The wild vegetables in the field have also been dug up, and the edible insects have also been eaten. The villagers have nowhere to go. In the blink of an eye, it is already autumn. He doesn't care about the suffering of people's livelihood, but only concentrates on cultivating immortals and Taoism, occasionally doing face-saving projects, allocating funds from the national treasury to relieve disasters, and being heavily exploited by corrupt officials at all levels, and never reaching the victims.

Because there was no food to be found, the famine in the ten miles and eight townships became more and more serious. People continued to starve to death, and corpses were scattered all over the fields.The grain and oil stores in the town continued to have riots, and the incidents of looting food were suppressed by the government. They were arrested and beaten indiscriminately.

When Xiangcai brought a bowl of porridge and went to visit Aunt Liu, a poor household in the village, Aunt Liu was already bedridden with hunger. When she saw the porridge, her eyes shone like a dead fish, and she crawled forward. His mouth moved closer, and just touched the rim of the bowl, before he could take a bite, his head tilted and he died.

It was the first time for Xiangcai to watch someone die in front of her eyes, her heart was greatly shocked, and she shouted to Aunt Liu's only son, "Tianbao, it's not good, your mother...your mother...is dead! "

Hearing the sound, Tianbao came out from the inner room through the curtain, his eyes lit up, he rushed over, broke open his mother's body that hadn't completely cooled down, picked up the bowl of porridge, and sat on the bed with gusto. Crazy poured up.

"Tianbao, she... is your mother!"

Coriander is stupid... I don't know how I got home.Dragging two heavy legs, the heart is extremely heavy.Famine is terrible, and so is poverty.After all, the vegetables I grow in the space can only save my family, and a little bit of it can also save my aunt's family, and this is far from enough.How could I just watch the villagers fall down one by one?
Back in the house, Coriander took out the Rubik's Cube and entered the space.

"Ruyu! Ruyu! Come out!" Coriander yelled with all her might.

A white cloud floated in the sky, and it melted on the ground, it was really like jade.

"What's the matter, Master? You disturbed my dream. In my dream, I was discussing illusion with Master Qingming!" Ruyu stretched lazily with sleepy eyes, her lake-green eyes half-opened and half-closed. , looks indescribably charming.

"Fantasy sister! Everyone is dead, you dead monster, you are still hiding here for me! Do you have any humanity? Are you there!" Coriander rushed over excitedly, pinching him.

"Cough...cough... let go!" Ruyu almost frightened her to death, slapped her hands away and said, "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands!"

"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman!"

"Um... well, you won." Ruyu had a terrible headache, this woman really kept herself safe every moment, scratched her head and said, "Come on, what happened? Who died?"

"People, a lot of villagers!" Xiangcai's complexion suddenly dimmed, with infinite sadness in her eyes, she slipped weakly, and simply sat down on the ground, sadly said: "There is a famine in the world, and many people are dying. Starving to death, the first ones to starve to death are the elderly and children. You know, I watched them die one by one, but I was powerless. How uncomfortable it was in my heart. They also have family members, and they also have lives. "

"That's why you came here to plan my dream!" Ruyu put her hands on her hips angrily and said, "I thought it was a big deal! It was broken that day, so I have to ask Nuwa to mend it!"

"What? You bastard, you have no compassion. What do you mean just for this? Is this a trivial matter? This is the lives of so many people! No wonder you will be trapped in the golden house. You are a heartless person at all. Lung guy!" Coriander was so angry that her voice trembled a little.

Ruyu wondered, "Since there is no food, why don't they eat meat?"

"..." Coriander was messed up, and this person's thinking was too... ridiculous.

"Okay, okay, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can still make two wishes." Ruyu sighed, shook her head intentionally and said, "What a stupid girl."

"You mean... I understand!" Coriander's eyes lit up, and she said loudly, "The second wish, I want the famine to end! A bumper harvest!"

"Please, I'm not a god, I'm not God, I can't decide these things." Ruyu frowned, spread her hands and said, "I only have magic weapons. I have collected these magic weapons from everywhere!"

"Then..." Coriander lowered her head, pondered for a moment, slowly raised her head, and said firmly, "I want a treasure that can supply inexhaustible food."

"I'll check to see if there is any." Ruyu reached into her wide sleeve and fumbled for a long time, with a disfigured expression on her face, she slowly shook her head.
