Chapter 763 [762] Famine Era 3 (1 update)

The reason why Ye Huan made everyone not even spare the grass was because in this era, everyone’s life was not easy. It was not your family to pick wild vegetables, but the whole people participated. Some wild vegetables were dug up before they even started. It can be said that it is not an exaggeration for humans to go over and not grow any grass.

This is still the case when livestock are not fed. If livestock are fed, they will have to let go of nothing.

The real hungry victims are not even spared wheat seedlings.

Therefore, instead of regretting not eating grass in the future, it is better to collect the grass now. After all, there are many weeds on the edge of the countryside, which actually have certain medicinal properties. However, there are too many of them, so many of them cannot be named. Anyway, as long as they are not poisonous, just dig them home and divide them when choosing to wash them. What is grass and what is vegetables, and divide them more clearly.

With Ye Huan's warning, the Ye family took action. The method they used was very simple. When they were in the market, they told such rumors to people they didn't know. No one noticed them again or twice. What if their family spread them every time?

After a long time, will such rumors arise?

Of course, the prerequisite is how hard their family works.

This can be regarded as her disguised trailer!

Afterwards, starting from March, their family began to collect and dig various wild vegetables, weeds, and leaves. Whether they were going to the ground to turn over, hoe the ground, or fertilize them, they would try every means to take them home whenever they saw wild vegetables.

After all vegetables sprout, they will pick their leaves (sweet potato leaves, sesame leaves, pepper leaves, etc.) without affecting the growth of the plant itself.

When it comes to the summer when cicada monkeys are flooded, no matter how late they are every day, they follow the adults to the trees by the road, in the woods by the river, or in the corn fields to touch cicada monkeys. When they encounter cicada shells, they pick them up and go home, because this is not only a medicinal material, but can be ground into powder in the future, and can also be eaten.

After harvesting wheat in this era, people will pick up the omissions in the field again, including peanuts, sweet potatoes, and potatoes.

What their family has to do is that others have picked it up, and the people from his family go through it again. There is basically nothing missing, but they can still pick it up.

The corn squid and corn skins that were peeled will also stay. The corncobs were sold to the feed factory by the brigade, and they would not be able to contact them.

If she sees seeds of wild vegetables and seeds of vegetables, fruits and melons, she will keep some of them herself.

It’s a pity that the whole vegetable sold in the space disappeared, otherwise she could have left some radish seedlings or something.

In addition to the wild vegetables and weeds that can be left everywhere, they usually leave a person’s amount for dinner and save it. Unexpectedly, after a year, there were still a lot of them in the cellar. By the 1941 Spring Festival, looking back on the hard work this year, the old man was also very moved.

"I see that some people in the village have started to save food. It seems that we have not been working hard this year, and finally some people can hear it."

Usually, their grinders have never been idle. Basically, they can be dried and ground into powder, and they are all ground into powder and saved. You wrap corn whiskers, corn skins, peanut shells, etc., and they are all messy and you can eat them.

In order to avoid damage, she often gets space to store it in the hottest summer and the most prone season when it is wormy. Although it will cost her ten gold coins a day, it is better than being eaten by insects, right?

Of course, she only hid a small part, and took it in turn, because adults were also worried about this and often took it out to dry it.

Their family has saved a lot of pickles, dried radish, dried sweet potatoes, and dried potatoes. The ones that can be ground, and chopped up the ones that cannot be ground, and they are pulled out from time to time to dry.

After a year of hard work, wild vegetables, wild grass, leaves, crop leaves, shells, seedlings, etc. have saved up more than 300 kilograms, which is really a lot.

With the arrival of 1941, their family worked harder. Following the efforts of the imitators last year, they also paid attention to recording the frequency of rain. It turned out that it was really much less than last year.

Moreover, the summer harvest and autumn harvest in 1941 did not increase but decreased last year. The old man felt that something was wrong, but it didn't rain all the way. In the first half of 1942, even in the summer when it was raining rain, there was no rain. They watched the crops drought, the earth cracked, and the plants were wilted. What was terrible is that the locusts were really coming.

Locusts that cover the sky and the sun are flying all over the sky, and no grass grows where these creatures invade.

Even if people stand in the fields and keep waving their hands to slap locusts, the summer harvest particles are not harvested.

This is even more terrifying than Ye Huan expected.

The people were stunned and sat in the fields, slapped their legs and cried one by one, and could not stop the locusts from plundering.

Even though they have captured many locusts with all kinds of things, they are just a drop in the bucket compared to the terrible thing about covering the sky and the sun.

Moreover, this thing reproduces very quickly, allowing you to watch them eat leaves, crops, weeds, and wild vegetables. Wherever this thing swept across, there is almost no green at all.

Later, the locusts left, but the drought continued, and the land with hard cracks could not be planted.

Her dream was real, and there was a famine.

In terrible 1942, the people paid taxes in terrible places, and the people were clearly in dire straits and hot, but the people above did not believe it and collected taxes, so that many bandits and bandits began to appear in Henan. The people survived the summer and autumn, and after eating all the food they could eat on the earth, they began to try their best to escape the famine with their whole family.

In order to ensure the safety of food in the cellar, Ye Huan has been hiding part of it in the space since 1940, so in three years, there are more than 400 kilograms. Of course, the adults at home don’t know because she took it away bit by bit, but she also saved a lot at home, with a total of seven or eight hundred kilograms, and all kinds of food were eaten.

Only a small number of people in their village have stored food, but they are so crazy about saving food and saving food, and they don’t even let go of grass. So, even if there are people with food, they are only enough for them to survive this winter, but if they can survive this winter, they can basically survive this famine.

It would be fine for Ye Huan’s family to keep them to the beginning of next spring, so when the villagers who couldn’t make it through began to find ways to push onto a wheelbarrow, pull on a cart, carry their belongings, and prepare to escape the famine, the Ye family was discussing whether to leave.

Because Ye Huan mentioned that half of their family would die on the road to famine, the Ye family subconsciously refused to leave their hometown and headed west.

"Master, if we don't leave, we must beware of bandits and bandits, because they are more dangerous and can kill people without blinking in order to eat."

By October, almost half of their village had left, and only a small part of them were left behind.

Robbers and bandits may come at any time, and the rest are just like the meat on the chopping board. It is too simple to kill them.

Fortunately, in the past three years, they not only stored food, but also dug a tunnel that could escape. In order to dig this tunnel, Ye Huan not only knew about the hardships that the adults at home had done, but also secretly transferred the soil in the tunnel while they were resting. After all, it is easy to dig a tunnel, but the difficult thing is to transport the soil out one after another.

After digging the authenticity and having the temporary living standards, they took advantage of the time when they could burn the fire and made various foods into edible sizes, or pinched them into rice balls, or made into pancakes, then put them on and left overnight. In fact, they turned around and hid the things in the authenticity.

After that, I didn’t dare to cook in the fire during the day, so I hid in the tunnel and then came out to make a mouthful of food with soup at night.

How unpalatable are the pancakes made from wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables and wild grasses? After Ye Huan tasted them, she felt unbearable and painful. She wanted to take out the sweet potatoes and potatoes she had saved, but when she thought of the current situation, she could still be boiled. At least she didn't eat the bark and roots, and she could go to the toilet normally. This is God's blessing.

If they cook the pot at night, they would not dare to cook at their own homes. They would have to run to their homes where no one else was doing it, for fear that they would accidentally expose their homes.

The water they ate was secretly harvested from the riverside overnight, because now, except for the water in the river, there is no water in the well.

Fortunately, the water in this era has not been contaminated and can be drunk, but in order not to get sick, they have to boil it before drinking it.

After being underground for a long time, it feels moldy everywhere. So sometimes when they are sure that the surroundings are safe, they will come out appropriately to warm up and dry the quilt, but they must not make fire, the door cannot be closed or locked.

Of course, the reason why I dared to do this is because the entire village is empty, there are no one else, and they are all going out to flee.

But they were used to being careful. The bandits came to their village not once or twice. Many people's houses were burned because they smashed everything they should have smashed in advance, which caused the illusion of plundering, so they were not burned.

The village is empty, there are no livestock, no poultry, and even dogs. There are no forests in the plains, and there are no creatures like wolves and wild dogs.

So this gave them great convenience, and they could go out to transport water at night. Even so, every time they went out, the whole family was worried.

After these days, the two younger brothers would not make a fuss, and she was also glad that they were not a baby who had not been confinement, otherwise it would be hard to say whether their family could hide underground like this.

In winter, it will occasionally snow here, but not much, but even if it is not too much, it will leave footprints. So sometimes, in order not to leave footprints, you have to endure it for several days without going out until the mud underground does not leave footprints, and you dare to go to the river.
