Chapter 302 Fishing Village
"We hardly saw anyone along the way, and we were attacked by the Japanese pirates again." Lin Shu said puzzledly.
When they left Cheng County, the fishermen were unprecedentedly united in fighting against the Japanese pirates.
How come in the blink of an eye, he was beaten back to his original form.
In less than half a month, the fields were overgrown with weeds and the crops were burned into black fields in patches.
The gray convoy seemed isolated and helpless on this depressed coastal area.
The people hiding in the carriage held their weapons tightly and listened with bated breath to the noise outside.
Even the children of a few years old were staring at the gap in the carriage.
A little heart, beating non-stop.
I was afraid that some ghost would suddenly jump out from somewhere.
...
'quack quack'
Dead trees and old crows.
The gray convoy slowly drove into the dilapidated village.
Most of the doors were locked, and some were damaged but no one dared to repair them.
The dilapidated village has only twenty or so households, which is indeed a bit shabby.
But now not a single person has been found alive. It seems that this is another masterpiece of the Japanese pirates.
Lin Shu used a silver hairpin to pry open the locked courtyard door, and did the same with the other one.
After entering the yard, I found that there were only two usable rooms.
No one touched the locked warehouse, and there was not a single pot or pan in the kitchen.
It seems that the fishermen in the village evacuated in an orderly manner.
In that case, I'll borrow your yard for one night.
Since there were only two rooms, they were divided into men and women.
The guard duty in the first and second half of the night was naturally assigned to someone else.
There is no need for Lin Shu, a little kid, to worry about everything.
...
Nothing happened all night.
Lin Shu, who slept in the carriage with Baozi, woke up feeling refreshed.
She doesn't like sleeping in a crowded room with others and would rather sleep in a carriage.
When I am in a good mood while sleeping, I can even roll over a few times.
You can also take the opportunity to return to the space and inspect your own territory.
That's a great sense of accomplishment.
During this period of time, I have stored up a lot of seafood. After taking this amount home and sharing it out, there is not much left.
So, there are quite a few things to buy.
Lin Shu felt like she had a mountain of treasure but nowhere to use it.
Seeing the treasures placed everywhere, excitement finally took over.
As long as you have money in your hand, you won't be worried.
There is nothing in this world that money can't do.
No, because the money given is not enough.
If you smash it, you have to smash it out to create a smooth road.
...
Lin Shu got off the ox cart refreshed and saw that everyone had red eyes and looked tired.
It was obvious that he didn't get enough rest, and he was also tired from the long journey and worried and scared.
It would be strange if I could get a good rest.
"Rest for two days before leaving, and be alert." Lin Shu said helplessly.
When the group of women heard that they didn’t have to hurry on their journey, they were so happy that they almost flew away.
They all went back to collect old clothes and wash them. Some men were not at home, so all the work fell on the women.
She drove the carriage during the day and had to take turns on night watch at night, and was responsible for the child's daily life.
It's really like women being used like men.
It's rare to have a quiet place to stay, so we might as well let the team rest before getting back on the road.
She personally led a team to search the village.
Clean and tidy, without a single grain of food.
Some families even took away the jars of pickled vegetables, not to mention the salt.
These are all trivial matters to Lin Shu.
The wild vegetables in the fields and the missed rice can be collected to satisfy hunger.
Finding rice among weeds has become the children's favorite game.
Every time he found a rice plant, he would shout out with joy, attracting praise from his friends.
Only then did he pluck the rice with satisfaction, put it into a small basket, and continue to look for the next rice.
Lin Shu and Baozi worked together to clear the weeds around her.
I got a small backpack of wild vegetables, ten pounds of rice, and more than three pounds of barnyard grass, all of which could be used as food to fill my stomach.
Although the rice grains are not very full, it is still a considerable harvest.
After clearing the weeds around the village, everyone gained something, more or less.
Rice, barnyard grass, and water chestnuts bitten by insects are refreshing.
There are the most wild vegetables. Although some of them are old and taste bad, they are also rare good things in the eyes of everyone.
The dark skin of the water chestnut is hard, while the flesh inside is white, tender, slightly sweet and full of moisture.
The group of kids had no idea what it was, they just thought it tasted good and took it back.
I washed it and ate it with the skin, and I actually fell in love with the taste.
“This is called Ma Ti Shuang, which can be eaten as a fruit and also used as a medicinal ingredient.
You can pick some more, wash them, and eat them as snacks.
You must peel it before eating, otherwise it will affect the taste." Lin Shu said with a smile.
She still remembered the first time she ate water chestnuts, she felt the same as these kids.
Some were also smuggled into the space and thrown into the fields at random.
"Hahaha!"
The children were not ashamed of it, but proud of it, and laughed especially loudly.
This attracted the busy adults to look at them frequently.
Once the children return to the village, of course they each go back to their own mothers.
...
Lin Shu carried her harvest and walked back to her residence.
thought.
If the refugees in the past could have such a benefit, they would not have fled again!
Unfortunately, life after settling down is still turbulent.
Late spring cold, civil war, and Japanese pirates are not something ordinary people can endure.
I don’t know how Father Lin is doing. What should I do if the government forces me to join the army?
Now, she also doesn't have a stable place to settle down.
"Miss, there's no food in the kitchen."
Mrs. Xu poked her head out of the kitchen and said.
"I asked Lao Wu to explore the way. I wonder if he can buy some food."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it."
Lin Shu slapped her head and then she remembered what was missing.
In the past, Old Man Hu and the second brother were in charge, but now that it is her turn, she is so busy that she has no time to spare.
But the matter of food cannot be allowed to be interfered with by others.
She had no choice but to take responsibility for it herself.
Lin Shu dragged out two bags of rice from the ox cart and threw them on the cart.
Mrs. Xu went forward and tried to lift it, but failed, so she smiled bitterly.
"Miss, I know you are very strong, please forgive me this time!"
"Can't you just ask someone to lift it?" Lin Shu rolled her eyes at her.
How can someone who can't even carry rice be qualified to ask for food?
snort!
That little chicken-like creature, how can it lift anything?
There was no other choice, Lin Shu had to pick up two large bags of grain and walk towards the ox cart.
She threw the rice onto the ox cart and whispered.
"Eat enough and eat well for every meal, and when you have time, find some fish and shrimp to mix with the food.
We have no shortage of food, but we cannot let anyone know the truth."
Mrs. Xu nodded repeatedly. She really didn't know what truth the young lady was talking about.
Then keep it secret.
...
Deserted fishing village.
After dinner, everyone’s favorite thing to do is to go fishing.
There are endless fish to pick up on the beach after the tide goes out.
The ones you can’t finish can be dried in the sun. You can finish a batch in one day.
Although the quality is not very good, everyone still enjoys it.
No more fear at night.
Some people even think that the life here is the life they want.
