"Sigh!"

To be honest, Hu San brought quite a few things, including a bunch of random things, but …

She was far from what Jiu Niang wanted her to be.

"It seems …"

Moreover, the most important thing was that Nona was afraid that there was an eighty to ninety percent chance that her guess would turn out to be true. She felt slightly more at ease after hearing Hu San's words.

What to do, what to do …

No matter if it was the rice or the millet, both were shelled. Moreover, with a single look, it was clear that they were old rice. From the looks of it, Hu San did not know where it came from, but if it was anyone else, they probably would not be able to find this.

If that was the case, there would definitely be no way to plant more seeds. If that was the case …

Ah, ah, ah, what to do!" "Not even a seed.

There had originally been a lot of rice planted in Jiu Niang's space, so it wouldn't be a problem for the two of them to eat. However, she didn't know why, but a few days ago when she went in to take a look, she found that everything was gone. Not even one was left. Otherwise, she wouldn't be in such a hurry … After all, he wasn't too familiar with Hu San. If it weren't for the fact that he really had no other way, he wouldn't have approached Hu San …

She pondered for a long time. The only possibility was that something happened when she was exchanging potions for that annoying fellow and used the rice along with it.

He thought that now that he was rich, he would be able to get whatever he wanted.

However …

But even if he had the money, he wouldn't be able to buy food now. What was going on?

"Child, what's wrong?"

After moving to her new home, the Widow walked around looking excited. Although the things in this house were old, they were still rare and valuable items. Especially since she had never thought that she would one day be able to live in a place like this after entering the city. Of course, it wasn't that she didn't suspect this, but Jiu Niang's explanation was that she accidentally saved the son of a rich family when she entered the mountain.

Nona often entered the mountains, yes, but she saved people …

An old woman like her couldn't understand it no matter how she thought about it, so she didn't think about it.

In any case, since he was old and Nona was kind, what could she possibly do to him? Besides, she was willing to do anything to Ninth Mother even if she wanted to.

"It's nothing, just …" Sigh, I won't say anymore. "

She shook her head with a bitter face.

Why was she so unlucky?

For some reason, the food in the space disappeared out of nowhere. She clearly remembered that after planting it a few times, there was less than a thousand catties of rice in the space, but … But now, there was nothing left …

The regret in her heart.

When you encounter a calamity, you can use your silver to make wool. Is silver edible or can you drink it?

If he knew earlier, he wouldn't have cared about that fellow! What was there to be afraid of when there was food!

But now, there was nothing, nothing, nothing!

Nona suddenly felt that she had made a loss. Not only had she not made any profit, but she had also fallen into the trap.

"Ah, child, we have all left. Who cultivates the fields in the village? "Now that I think about it, our wheat plants are still hidden in the cellar. If we all leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to grow any more this year."

Due to the strange weather this year, we didn't get anything during the harvest. The fields are still empty, so we should be preparing to plant winter wheat. But …

If they were to leave now, there wouldn't be any humans left …

The speaker has no heart, the listener has no heart.

Nona was just worrying about the lack of seeds. Hearing the Widow's words, her eyes instantly lit up. Although they were wheat seeds, they were still seeds. Seeing how dry this year was, he was afraid that even if the wheat was planted, there would be no water to irrigate it. If it did not go on for the whole winter, it would be useless to plant it.

But Jiu Niang was different. She had the space to do so.

As long as he had a seed, he could throw it into the space. How much food did he want?

Originally, Nona wanted to take advantage of this time to get more medicinal herbs. If she really encountered a disaster or something like that, it could lead to a terrifying outbreak. When the time came, she wouldn't have to panic with the help of the medicine. However, this was a different situation. Initially, she had thought that she had silver on her hands, so she could just use silver to buy food. But now, it seemed that even if she spent money, she wouldn't be able to buy food. Jiu Niang didn't need to think about it to know who was more important.

No matter how many medicinal herbs he had, he wouldn't even have the chance to eat them. He would have to use whatever medicinal herbs he had.

Therefore, it was more important to save the food as soon as possible.

"Grandma, I'll go back first! Wang Er, come with me. Take good care of Grandma and go out for a stroll. Buy whatever you lack at home. "

After inquiring about the whereabouts of the wheat seed at home from the old widow, Nona called for Wang Er to take the carriage back.

Since Wang Er was the one who came and went recently, she was more familiar with him. Moreover, compared to Wang Er, pockmarked personality was more silent, and it was more appropriate for her to stay at home with the old man.

"You … You've already killed a thousand times. This is wheat seed, and you can even sell wheat seed. Don't you want our mothers to die with you? "

As she was driving the carriage, she did not have to worry about Grandma, so they were able to get back to the village in less than four hours. Since she was driving the carriage, she did not have to worry about Grandma, so they were able to get back to the village in less than four hours. However, just as the two of them reached the village entrance, they heard a burst of wailing …

"You ignorant bitch, get the hell over here, don't block this daddy from making a fortune!"

The door of a house suddenly opened, and a big, muscular man with a huge bag over his shoulder, and a woman with a face covered in dirt tightly hugged his thigh. She cried as she shouted, "Boss, you can't do that, this is wheat …" You're going to plant wheat soon, and now you're selling it... "What are you making our mothers eat …"

Due to the dry weather this year, most of the families' harvests were affected. Although it was not as bad as Jiu Niang's harvest, it was still not that bad. He saw that the rice harvest last season was not good and all his hopes were placed on this winter wheat. But now, seeing that he was about to grow winter wheat, this man suddenly wanted to carry out the family's wheat seed to sell.

"Go away, go away, what do you know! "Hair, long hair, short experience, woman, if you block this daddy from making a fortune, do you believe this daddy will divorce you!?"

The man's face was dark and filled with anger as he scolded her. At the same time, he kicked the woman's heart without hesitation. "Right now, this wheat is only 200 gold coins per catty. This father will sell it now and earn money from it. In the next year, this father will sell it after they receive it. Not only will I not need to plant it, I will even earn more!"

The man muttered in dissatisfaction.

He didn't feel that he was at fault at all. On the contrary, he felt that a woman was making a fortune for herself.

This wheat was worth over 5 taels per catty. Now that he had sold it for 200 taels per catty, selling it for 1 catty, when the time came, he would be able to buy 40 catties. This was simply a sky-high bargain!

"Boss …" You can't do this... "If you sell it, what would we grow …" The woman was kicked to the ground and crawled back to hug the man's leg tightly. As she cried, she begged, "Please, don't sell, the kids can't not have food …"

"Mother, mother …"

"Mother …"

Behind him, three to four frightened children rushed up and hugged the woman …

The children were no older than five or six years old, and seemed to have just begun to walk.

When she saw this, she could not help but let out a soft sigh. "Ai!"

This was just the beginning. If it didn't rain throughout the winter, or if it didn't snow, then after spring …

"Miss, it's time for us to go back."

Wang Er also frowned. However, since this was a family matter, it would not be appropriate for them to interfere. Moreover, it was not early anymore, so it was better to return earlier.

"Yes."

Ye Xiao shook his head. He would feel bad if he saw Ye Xiao walk away like this.

Especially...

As her gaze fell on those children, she couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy for them.

"Scram, scram!" Wailing, I'm not dead yet! "

Seeing how his wife and children were crying, the man's face became even more unsightly. "You dejected woman, why aren't you getting out of my way? You're causing me trouble. Watch how I deal with you." "They said they will only accept today, who knows how many people will sell it today. If I'm too late, I won't be able to sell it. If I don't kill you, I'll kill you!"

When had a man ever seen wheat sell at such a high price? Apart from silver, there was nothing else in his mind.

He had saved quite a bit of wheat for his family. At least two hundred catties, one catty, two hundred catties, that was … Four... 40,000 words... A total of forty taels of silver …

It's only 20 or 30 taels of silver to build a house...

"Sigh, head, head! I, I'll go with you!"

"Alright, alright, hurry up. I'll be leaving when it's too late."

"Ah, ah! "I got it, and I'm not blaming you. You really are a useless person. You heard the news so late, yet you didn't even have the time to notify my parents …"

"Th-that …" "Do you think anyone can catch up to such a good thing …"

While the two of them were talking, a door nearby opened. The couple carried a large bag with a kid following behind them. They also carried a large bag on their shoulders, which looked to be at least 20-30 jin in weight.

Looking at the complacent looks on the family's faces, they might even be selling food.

But...

"So many? How much land does this house have?

Not only was Jiu Niang suspicious, but Wang Er was also a bit surprised. A family leaving behind a seed weighing over a hundred jin was enough for a family. This family seemed to have a lot.

"Scram, scram!" Look at that family, they sold all the rice they just collected this year. If you don't let them go, I … "Your father …"

Without waiting for Ninth Madame to ask Wang Er, the man who was being hugged by his wife began to shout, "This rice is two hundred and fifty-one taels of silver per kilogram …" "Hmph …" It's all because of you, dejected woman. True... "Really …"

Did you sell all the rice you just received?

Nona silently watched the family as they walked away, and she couldn't help but furrow her brows.

I'm afraid …

I'm afraid it's more serious than I thought.

Has anyone started to realize that they are short of food?

That's right, he couldn't even buy food with his help, so someone else naturally noticed.

But...

Nona's heart suddenly felt heavy as she glanced at the happy people who wanted to sell their rations.

"Uncle, why don't you sell the wheat seed to me? I'll drive the carriage faster, otherwise, when you go, I might even leave."
