Chapter 8: What's Left in the Space

And those who heard it from the villagers in Shigang Village also began to prepare.

The family's children were sent out to collect firewood and hay.

The girls helped with cooking, braiding straw hats and other things.

Yun Huachun had just returned to his home camp when he saw Guan Baoquan walking over with a woman.

The woman looked a little shy and came up to say hello, "Yun Xiucai, Mrs. Yun."

"My husband heard from Yun Xiucai that his feet won't hurt when he walks with his legs tied, so he wanted to come over and ask how to tie his legs."

Guan Baoquan said, "We are here to consult Lady Yun..."

As he spoke, he looked at Wan Hongmei without any intention of talking to Yun Huachun.

Wan Hongmei was a generous person. When she saw this woman grinning, she looked at the straw rope in her hand with a flash of surprise in her eyes.

"Sister, you can't use such a thick rope, use mine." He said and handed the woman two straw strips that he had made.

"This one is too thin. It would be much better to tie two of them together."

Then he picked up two more and tied his legs to indicate.

"Look, it's tied like this. Don't tie it too tight, otherwise the legs won't activate blood circulation. Even if you stand up after tightening it, it will feel a little tight." Wan Hongmei said.

Her family prepared cloth strips, but it seemed that not everyone in the village could afford cloth strips.

It seems that using straw strips can make do, but it is a little harder, which is better than nothing.

The woman studied with Wan Hongmei for a while and learned it immediately.

When I tied it to my leg, it felt a little tight but not particularly tight. It seemed that the feeling when I walked was different.

"Thank you, Mrs. Yun, my legs won't hurt when I walk tomorrow." The woman said happily.

"Auntie, remember to take it off when you go to bed at night. Your legs also need to rest. If you keep them tied, your legs will be lame." Yuntao warned.

"Hey, I see, I don't have anything good at home. I give these to you, Madam Yun, as a thank you gift."

"Why are you standing there? Take it out quickly!" the woman urged Guan Baoquan next to her.

Guan Baoquan took out a basket from behind with a dull face.

There is a chicken inside and a lot of eggs.

"This is too valuable. You can't take it for so much. You can take it back." Wan Hongmei declined.

I asked someone to tie my legs, so I don’t need so many things.

"Whatever we need, we need Yun Xiucai to help us if we encounter anything along the way." The woman stepped forward with a smile and said.

Wan Hongmei immediately signaled her husband with her eyes, asking him to help.

She knew how valuable chickens were to farmers and could be worth a lot of money.

More importantly, it was not easy to carry chickens with her on this deserted journey, and her family also raised a lot of chickens.

If she fed the chickens food, it would probably not be enough for her to eat, so she planned to have her man killed later.

It’s not easy to accept other people’s chickens because there are too many and you won’t be able to finish them all.

Yun Huachun accepted his wife's signal and immediately said, "No, I don't like chicken."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Huachun realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The two people next to him were also a little embarrassed.

"We are all from the same village. We used to live far away and had no contact with each other. Now that we have fled, we are all in need of food. You can keep the food for yourself. If my family encounters something and needs help, you can just lend a hand."

Yun Huachun said.

Guan Baoquan nodded after hearing this.

"Thank you...Yun...Xiucai." Guan Baoquan said, even his title changed.

"Xiucai Yun, Lady Yun, we're leaving first." The woman greeted her with a smile and left with her man.

The Yun family members immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

It is very difficult to deal with people in the village.

It's not that it's difficult to communicate, it's that when they first come to this world, if they say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, it won't end well.

As the night got deeper and deeper, Wan Hongmei picked up a thin quilt from the cart and covered Yuntao's body.

Lower your head and say, "When someone comes, I will speak loudly. Please listen carefully."

Yuntao nodded and stepped into the space.

Wan Hongmei, on the other hand, was fighting hard with her man and staring at her surroundings.

People were snoring, and there was the sound of women coaxing their children to sleep.

After a day's journey, both of them were very sleepy, but their spirits were still high.

A rare space is their trump card on the way to escape.

The supplies here may be related to their family's survival, so they must be carefully looked at by their daughter.

After Yuntao entered the space, she went straight to the kitchen.

Her father was right, food is very important.

But Yuntao didn't know how much food her family had and how long it would last.

When Yuntao opened the door of the refrigerator, she found that most of it was empty.

There was half a plate of eggs. She counted them, and there were fourteen in total.

On the top are four red apples in plastic bags, a small box of cherry lychees, half a cantaloupe, and a row of small bananas covered with black spots.

The only vegetables left were half a plate of cauliflower, two stalks of corn, one and a half liters of milk, a small bag of celery and a few tomatoes.

The bottom is full of stuff, including frozen ribs, beef, chicken legs and other things, as well as cured chicken and duck sent by grandparents, and salted fish rice dumplings.

There were even a dozen ice cream cones inside that she bought home a week ago.

Because the refrigerator has electricity, the items in it are still well stored.

There are a few sweet potatoes and taro in the corner of the refrigerator against the wall. I occasionally steam these dry foods for breakfast.

Their food is rarely prepared, and the vegetable market is nearby. They buy it now and eat it now, and they keep it for at most two days.

I bought it this morning and have leftovers after dinner in the refrigerator.

When I saw this ice cream Yun Tao, I secretly hated myself. At that time, I wanted to buy a dozen ham sausages or a dozen bags of biscuits, both of which tasted better than this ice cream.

She opened the counter again, looking for the remaining food.

The plastic box containing food was already more than half empty. Yuntao calculated that based on the five cups of rice her family usually ate, there was probably enough rice in it for six or seven meals, or maybe less.

I also bought the rice as soon as I finished eating it, so I didn’t store too much grain.

There was also a lot of dried noodles in another cabinet, and Yuntao weighed it.

There is still a bundle and a half of noodles, which is enough for four or five meals.

Those grains, dried mushrooms, bamboo fungus and other grains are calculated according to the weight in the packaging bag, which adds up to only a dozen kilograms.

So the total amount of food that can be eaten in the kitchen is less than thirty kilograms?

She rummaged through the cabinets again and found all kinds of old and edible things in the cabinets, even seasonings.

After searching for these, Yuntao went to the small storage table at the entrance to look for something.

Her parents usually send milk, fruits and other things as favors, and they are stuffed in here.

When I opened the cabinet, there were four or five boxes of yogurt and milk inside.

Searching inside, Yun Tao found a jar of whole grain powder and several jars of honey.
