Hoarding Goods In Space: Struggling To Survive In A Crisis World.
Chapter 785
There were more than ten small bags inside the sack, and in each small bag, there were about two catties of seeds. Some of the seeds he did not recognize, but some of the seeds he read in the books dug out of the ruins. Grandfather taught him many things.words, he recognized the topmost seed as corn and wheat at a glance. At this moment, the boy suddenly ran out, but he ran for a long distance, but he did not see the people who rested here last night, he said, and realizing the man had intentionally left him, the boy quickly walked back to the sack, crouched neatly, picked up the sack and rushed home.
"Little Tiger, where did you go early in the morning?" Back in front of the dilapidated iron container, an old voice sounded from within. The boy quickly entered the container, sweating profusely and putting down the sack, he took out a few bundles of seeds Walking up to the old man, he knelt down with a plop.
"Grandfather, do you see what this is?"
The old man only had one leg left, and he sat down with his body propped up.Although his vision had already blurred, he still recognized the corn and wheat from the light outside.
“Is this corn seed?” His voice trembled as the old man spoke.
The boy glanced outside, then took out a wooden board and blocked the door of the container.
"Grandfather, those people left yesterday. They left a sack of seeds. I only know these two pockets. They must have found us and left us this seed. Grandpa, we have seeds."
There were footsteps outside the door, people coming out to fetch water and back, not many people living here, only forty-six old, weak, sick and disabled.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the boy immediately covered his mouth, he dragged the seeds into a corner, took out everything to cover the sack, his hands were trembling the entire time, but his eyes were extremely bright.
"Little Tiger, how is your grandfather? Why didn't you take some water this morning?"
The boy coughed, "Big Brother Zhuang, I'm not feeling well. My grandfather's fine, and the flares are gone."
"That's great, that's right, I found some verbena. I had a cold before, and my grandmother gave me verbena, so I got better. Xiaohu, open the door, and I'll give you verbena. You are here Boil it in the pot for half an hour, drink the decoction potion and you will get well soon.”
Xiaohu wanted to say something to get Da Zhuang out of the door to leave immediately, but his grandfather held back his hand.
"Xiaohu, open the door and call everyone."
Realizing what grandfather was going to do, Xiaohu lowered her head in embarrassment, "Grandfather, I'm so selfish, I actually want to take something for myself."
"Don't blame you, please call everyone."
These people in Haicheng can survive to this day because they help each other.Now that they get food by chance, they have to share with each other rather than hide it personally.
Xiaohu opened the door, and Da Zhuang greeted him with some verbena plants.
"This is for you. It's very useful. You have to boil water to drink. Do you have food at home? I found some wild vegetables and I'll bring them later." actually some weeds.
Xiaohu did not take verbena. "Sister Zhuang, I'm sorry, but I'm not sick. I went south this morning. I found some stuff. Can you call everyone for me? My grandfather said that I want to share things with everyone."
Da Zhuang smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's good that you're not sick, this medicine is very bitter, you don't have to suffer, unfortunately, it's not easy for you and your grandfather, it's not, if you find something , just save it for yourself, do not give it to us.”
Xiaohu felt even more guilty.
"It should be given to everyone. We are family. Brother Da Zhuang. I found the seed of food. I found a group of people in Haicheng yesterday. I thought they were the bad guys, so I didn't dare to tell you. I didn't expect them to leave this morning. I'm leaving a sack of grain, I'm not lying to you, you go to the river and call everyone back.
When Da Zhuang heard this, he was stunned.
Food seeds?
"Xiaohu, you're not kidding, you're really not lying to me?"
Xiaohu ran back to the container, then took out a bag of corn, "Sister Zhuang, what is this? It's corn, corn in the book, do you remember? My grandfather told us that corn was delicious. One is enough ."
"It has a scent, it's really a seed, I'll call someone, I'll call someone soon."
Xiaohu nodded, "You go to the river, and I'll tell the other grandparents."
Xiaohu carefully brought the corn back to his container, when he heard his grandfather cry, he rushed over.
"Grandfather, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm happy, Xiaohu, with this food, everyone can survive."
Xiaohu's eyes were also red, "Those people are good people. I wrongly blamed them. When I see them later, I'll bow down to them."
Grandfather nodded, "It's true I met a good person."
Xiaohu woke up all the old men in the few containers next to him Hearing that there were four people in the wheat seed, everyone at first did not believe it, but then they cried.
Immediately, footsteps and sounds came from outside, Xiaohu brought her grandfather out of the container, then carried the sack out.
"Xiao Hu, is what Da Zhuang said true? Did you really find the seeds? Didn't you lie to us?"
Under everyone's supervision, Xiaohu took out the seeds from the sack.
In addition to corn and wheat, there are also various nuts, sesame, sorghum, rapeseed, fruit seeds...
Although each type only weighed one or two catties, but the types were numerous, everyone was astonished.
Amidst the crowd, some of the old men came back crying.
"It's really a seed of food, Xiaohu didn't lie to us, it's really a seed."
Everyone was like Da Zhuang, who wanted to touch but did not dare.
Many children born after natural disasters have never seen a grain of wheat, but everyone knows that with that seed, they do not need to starve in the future.
"What's this?"
"Oh my God, this is cottonseed, I'm not wrong, this is real cottonseed."
"Little Tiger, where did you find these things?"
Xiaohu shook his head, "It's not like I found it. I went looking for wild vegetables yesterday afternoon, and I saw some people appear in the south. I thought they were bad guys, so I ran back quickly. I didn't find it. I did not expect that I went to check in in the morning, and they were gone. The place I stayed last night was just this bag. I thought they forgot to take it, but my grandfather told me that these items should be handed over to me. We are by those people. They mean they want us to plant the seeds."
When everyone heard this, they all regretted Xiaohu's luck.
"Everyone listen to me, now there are only forty-six of us left in Haicheng. Excluding the thirteen useless parents like me, the rest were half-grown children. We have been helping each other all this time to support us. We have lived to this day, so the seeds of this food, we sow and harvest together.”
Hearing this, everyone present was moved.
"We must grow food and not disappoint the good-hearted."
