Chapter 163 Neighboring Village Asks for Help
The problem was solved, and the village chief couldn't keep anyone around, so he nodded and allowed Xie Yunshu to take Qi Man home.
This time the avalanche blocked the main road.
There are more than a dozen villages nearby. If you want to go to the county seat, this main road is the only way to go. Other small roads have long been covered by thick snow, and the mountain roads are steep. Very few people take small roads in winter to avoid accidents. .
After such a commotion, the villagers in the surrounding villages began to complain again.
As time passed, the snow on the blocked road became thicker and thicker.
At first, in order to survive, some villages sent several strong men with shovels to dig and open roads.
As a result, after just one night, the opening that was finally opened was sealed again, and it was even thicker and more difficult to dig than the day before.
Day after day, there was still no progress.
The energetic men were all so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs due to the torture of the past few days. They had no energy at all, and were like dying fish stranded on the shore.
In winter, there is heavy snowfall, and the cold wind is biting. People are getting colder every day. In a month, countless people have starved to death.
Seeing that New Year's Eve is approaching, I still can't go out to buy new year's goods.
There are so many villages, but Qingyun Village is the exception.
Although they can't eat spicy food every meal, after experiencing that bumper harvest, every household has stocked up on some food. At least they can have one or two mouthfuls of rice at every meal, so they won't go hungry three times a day.
Although life is difficult, the villagers of Qingyun Village are extremely satisfied under the current situation.
No matter what, it's better than those who starve to death!
The village chiefs of other villages were desperate and like Bai Jiachun asked for help.
Bai Jiachun held the cigarette rod in the corner of his mouth and blew out thick smoke rings. He looked at the seven or eight hungry and skinny village chiefs in front of him with a very solemn expression. Finally, he sighed and said helplessly:
"I can't help it. Although our village has had a great harvest, most of the food has been handed over, and each household only has a little left over to celebrate New Year's Eve. As the head of a village, I naturally have to first We give priority to the people in our village. If I help you, the people in our village will go hungry. Even if you kill me, I can’t help you!"
After weighing the pros and cons, he still had to give priority to the villagers of Qingyun Village.
The other village chiefs sighed and recounted the sufferings of this period and how difficult it was.
Bai Jiachun:......
It makes it seem like his life is not difficult!
No matter how much the village chief of the other village tried to talk and talk about favors, the Bai family was still unwilling to give food to the people of the other village.
"Brother Bai, if every household saves a morsel of food, our village will have more vitality. As the village chief, it is natural to consider the public. You are so petty and petty. If they die, you will be a murderer!"
Some village chiefs immediately slapped the table and stood up, turning their faces and shouting disapprovingly.
Bai Jiachun was not a vegetarian, so he naturally did not give in, and responded with uncompromising momentum:
"What does that have to do with me? I made it very clear. If we give up food, the people in our village will die! If you continue to be so messy, don't blame me for being rude!"
If the tiger doesn't show off its power, it's really a sick cat!
Bai Jiachun's life was going smoothly, and no matter how bad his life was, his momentum was still stronger than that of the village chiefs who had been hungry for several days in a row.
Some village chiefs acted as peacemakers and tried to persuade them.
As we chatted, the style of painting changed again.
Several old bones wiped away tears and left Bai Jiachun's house with red eyes.
"Ugh!"
After the old guys left, Bai Jiachun sighed heavily, fell down weakly on the chair, and frowned:
"This God, really doesn't give people like us a way to survive, and wants to push us to death!"
First there was a rain disaster, then the food supply was wiped out, and now the road is blocked by heavy snow. If it hadn't been for a bumper harvest before, I might not even have anything to eat now.
Let alone wanting to have a good New Year, that is simply fanciful.
Xiao An Niang entered the house carrying a kettle, and she heard her man complaining.
Putting the kettle on the stove, he comforted her with sincere words:
"Things are already like this. Everything that should happen has happened. What can we do? Speaking of this, our family doesn't have much food. It's hard to say whether we can survive this winter."
Since the food was handed over last time, every family in Qingyun Village received a lot of money.
Even if you have money, you will have nowhere to use it.
Bai Jiachun only felt that one head was as big as two, and he felt depressed and uncomfortable. He took another heavy drag on the cigarette:
"How many more days can I eat?"
"If we live frugally, we can still eat for about half a month. It seems that our village is also going to suffer."
In order to ensure their daughter's future, the old couple deliberately asked for less food and more money.
Unexpectedly, God's calculations are not as good as those of people.
Bai Xiaoan was at Qi's house right now, chatting happily with Qi Man.
"Sister Xiao An!"
Qi Man held the steaming black rice porridge in her hands, her dark eyes suddenly stared at Bai Xiaoan, and shouted.
"Eh!"
Bai Xiaoan raised his head and answered.
Qi Man blinked, stirred the hot black rice porridge with a white spoon, and said in a soft and waxy tone:
"I remember that your family turned in a lot of food this year. Judging from the current situation, it is temporarily impossible to leave the village to buy food. I called you here today. In addition to talking about your business next year, I just want you to take some food back. .”
Bai Xiaoan was startled and surprised. She didn't even know that there was not enough food at home. Unexpectedly, Manman kept thinking about it in her heart. She was suddenly moved and moved her lips slightly:
"Manman..."
"There's no need to say thank you. You and I are both sisters, so it's my duty to help you. I'll ask Yun Shu to bring the food to you later."
With the check-in system, the most important thing she lacks is food and money. Now the space system is full of food and various kinds of meat, so she needs to consume some.
Qi Man prepared a lot of food and placed it all in the kitchen.
With Xie Yunshu as cover, Xie's mother was quickly fooled.
Coupled with Xie Yunshu's ingenuity, he drove out a non-slip cart in the past two days, which could just transport the food to Bai Xiaoan's house.
This cart of food just solved the urgent need of the Bai Jiachun family.
Bai Jiachun's brows were filled with joy. He held Xie Yunshu's hands and shed tears of gratitude. He said with tears:
"I really don't know how to thank you! So much food..."
Bai Jiachun just took a quick glance and saw that there was not only big white rice on the cart, but also a lot of meat. This was enough for them to survive the whole winter and even a good year.
Xie Yunshu pursed his lips, stared at Bai Jiachun with his dark eyes, held his hand tightly, and replied lightly.
