Meng Yunshu, who saw an nomadic person for the first time, looked at him curiously for a while, and quickly retracted his gaze when the man looked over.
Nomadic people are tall and love to grow beards, so it is difficult to judge their age from their appearance.
“What kind of fairyland is this?”
But even so, Meng Yunshu could still see his strong interest in this place from his shining eyes.
Since the Xia Kingdom discovered the nomadic tribe, in order to trade with the Xia Kingdom, they all learned Mandarin, but they always had an accent, which sounded a bit weird.
The word “fairyland” made Meng Yunshu want to laugh, but he had to admit that his description was indeed correct. This place really deserves the word “fairyland”. If it weren’t for it, he would not know whether he could survive now.
“The plane store has everything you want.”
After hearing this, the nomadic person was so happy that he almost danced on the spot. He hurriedly approached and asked, “Is there any food? Our tribe was attacked by a blizzard. The cattle and sheep were frozen to death. Adults and children were also frostbitten. Everyone was almost unable to survive.”
The nomadic person’s name was Na Ritu. He was not exaggerating. There was indeed a snowstorm on the grasslands of Mobei. Many tribes did not have time to settle their cattle and sheep before the strong wind mixed with the blizzard swept in. The whistling wind was about to blow up their tents. When their lives were threatened, they had already given up the safety of cattle and sheep.
The blizzard lasted for half a month. During this period, they could only stay in their tents. The food and herbs they could store were limited. They could only plan their food and drink every day. If they wanted to drink water, they could only brave the wind and snow to shovel a pot of snow and boil it in the tent. It was not until a few days ago that the wind and snow completely ended, but his tribe suffered a serious blow.
The chieftain had just returned from Mobei City two days ago and told them that Mobei City had also been hit by a blizzard like them. Local officials had already reported the incident to the court as fast as they could, and opened the warehouses to release grain. Doctors from the entire city were gathered to treat the people. The local army also came to help. Mobei City also tried their best to help their tribe.
The two carts of grain they brought back were only a drop in the bucket for their tribe, not to mention that there were many other tribes on the grassland. Their Anash tribe was considered a large tribe on the grassland. They suffered such a serious disaster, not to mention those small tribes. It was hard to say whether they could survive.
After hearing what he said, Meng Yunshu felt the same way. Chang’an was far from Mobei, and the news would probably arrive in more than half a month. He couldn’t wait that long in Mobei. He became anxious. If Na Ritu had come before Lu Ruan, he could have told He Zhengzhi about the snowstorm in Mobei. But now it was Na Ritu who came later, and the store was too low-level and didn’t have the function of communication between the two sides. He could only worry.
Meng Yunshu hurriedly sold all the remaining food and drinks on the shelf to him, and taught Na Ritu how to pay the bill. Just when he was about to explain to Na Ritu how to use these foods, he saw him holding a bag of instant noodles and looking at the words on it. At this time, he saw that the words had become the common words of the nomadic tribe. He didn’t need to waste his breath to explain to Na Ritu. He had already left the store in a hurry with the food after thanking him.
After Ritu left, his reputation value rose to 15, and he only needed five more to reach level 2.
Remembering the disaster in Mobei, Meng Yunshu boldly used almost all of his Chinese currency to buy a large amount of water and food, leaving only a small part of the coins for turnover, but today’s purchase times have been used up, and he can only wait until tomorrow to purchase.
The seeds in the farm have not been planted yet. Since it is still early, he turned around and went to the farm in the backyard.
After the last upgrade, the area of ββthe farm has increased a lot, and the planting area has also increased.
This time he still chose to plant corn and potatoes. Sugarcane seeds also needed to be raised. Meng Yunshu found the seedling pot, poured clean water into it, and then put the seeds in.
He used the remaining Chinese currency to buy pepper seedlings and tomato seedlings. Of course, he could only buy five seedlings each. After digging holes and planting them, he remembered that he was frightened by the fish in the pond last time. His face turned red and white, then white and blue. He walked to the pond angrily, picked up the basket, and directly caught two fish from the pond.
Looking at the two big fish jumping at the bottom of the basket, Meng Yunshu showed a meaningful smile.
When he gets out, he will make them into fish balls and oden and eat them in big mouthfuls.
ββ
When he got back to the Yu family house from the store, Yu Jinyue had already returned from chopping wood. Yu Zhining and Yu Jinlan, who followed him up the mountain also came back. It happened that they were in the main room, blocked by a curtain. If they saw the sudden change, he would not be able to explain it even if he had ten mouths.
Yu Jinhuai was packing the fish brought back by Yu Jinyue. He felt that his eyes were dark. He looked up and saw Meng Yunshu appear in front of him with two big fish.
Meng Yunshu saw him cleaning the fish, and immediately squatted down and handed over the two fish he was holding, “I caught some too, I’ll make fish balls later.”
The two fish filled the basin, and jumped in the basin as soon as they entered, splashing water on their faces. Meng Yunshu held his breath and wiped the fishy water on his face, “You have a bad temper.”
Hearing this, Yu Jinhuai raised the corner of his mouth slightly. He looked at him steadily, and agreed: “Yes, it’s quite big.”
Meng Yunshu didn’t hear his hidden meaning. Seeing that he agreed with him, he pulled over a small stool and sat down. He told him about the nomadic person he met this time. When he mentioned the snow disaster, Yu Jinhuai’s face obviously sank, and he put the knife in his hand aside with a serious expression.
“Ah Yun, are you sure what he said is true?”
Meng Yunshu knew that he was afraid of being deceived, so he immediately straightened his expression, sat up straight, and frowned slightly, “Not really, he has a lot of frostbite on his hands, his face is tired, and his eyes are dark blue. When he talked about the snowstorm, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.”
“I believe him.”
Yu Jinhuai heard him say this, and was also anxious and worried about the people in Mobei. He thought about how to pass this news to the court.
The Weiping Prefecture where they were located was not far from the imperial capital Chang’an, and it only took a day to get there by horse carriage. They could tell the prefect of Weiping Prefecture about this news, but the most important thing was that they could not produce evidence to prove that Mobei suffered a snowstorm. This would not only not help them, but would implicate themselves.
After all, Mobei is far away from here, and the court has not received any news about Mobei, yet they know about it. This was against common sense.
“Brother Huai, what should we do?” Meng Yunshu frowned and asked.
Yu Jinhuai couldn’t think of a solution for a while. After a while, he said, “There is a way, you can try it.”
“What method?” Meng Yunshu looked at him with shining eyes.
Yu Jinhuai’s face was gentle, and he told him his method.
“Is it feasible?” Meng Yunshu asked suspiciously, not because he didn’t believe Yu Jinhuai, but because he didn’t believe the local officials.
“We have to give it a try.” He said.
