Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 112 Chapter 112
Wen Ming seemed to have misunderstood something, and hurriedly said,

"We won't eat a lot, there are still a lot of things down there..."

As he spoke, the women and children became tense, and the older boys even showed signs of resistance and rejection.

Mu Yu quickly waved his hands,

"No, that's not what it means. We were just a little surprised. There is not much difference between seven people and three people."

It's just pure surprise that being imprisoned underground for so many years can raise so many children.

Among them, Mu Yu was the most surprised. The others were just surprised for a while, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with five children.

Only Mu Yu, she defaulted to a family with only one or two children, so seeing that Wen Ming had five children at such a young age, she felt quite shocked.

Of course, it's understandable to be trapped underground without entertainment and have more children.

After listening to her explanation, Wen Ming stared at her for a moment, and then relaxed a little.

Mu Yu glanced at the sun that had moved away from the center outside, and said,

"Then go back to the village with us first. If we start now, we can still arrive before the evening, and we will spend the night here later."

Yang Erlang and the others naturally nodded to listen to her, Wen Ming hesitated for a moment, and then nodded slightly, while his woman and children leaned behind him and did not communicate with others.

Mu Yu knew that they were still nervous at this time, but the time was really not allowed, she didn't let anyone go down to explore the things in the dark room and take them back together, and there was no time to comfort them meticulously, so she simply said,
"It's okay, don't worry, come with us.

Can your family make it on their way?It's a long way to go. "

She looked at the woman and child behind Wen Ming and thought, Wen Ming, the woman, the older boy, and the two girls should be able to walk by themselves, and the five-year-old and two-year-old must be hugged.

Wen Ming and the others have been underground all the time, and the speed of travel will not be fast, and it will only be slower when they pick up the child. They can help with this, but I don’t know if Wen Ming will agree.

"Let's help hold the child, the road is long, and you will be very tired."

Mu Yu looked at Wen Ming seriously, Wen Ming hesitated for a moment, looked around at other people, picked up the five-year-old child and handed it to her.

She took the child and handed it over to Song Gao who was standing aside, and then took the younger child that Wen Ming carried over. She planned to hold it by herself, but Yang Erlang took it.

Yang Erlang only said, "Let's go."

They closed the black iron gate, took away the jade pendant, and covered the surrounding area of ​​the black iron machine with pried stone slabs, then left the manor and headed towards Taoyuan Village.

Along the way, Mu Yu paid special attention to the situation of Wen Ming's family.

Their traveling speed was indeed slow, how slow it was, it was a little faster than the speed at the back of the fleeing team when they went up the mountain, and it was not as fast as the speed at the upper middle.

But the problem is, Mu Yu and Yang Erlang are always traveling at the front speed.

In order not to let Wen Ming's family fall behind, they had to slow down their speed and maintain the speed in the middle. Even so, Wen Ming's family still had some difficulty following.

Halfway through the road, seeing that it was almost evening, Mu Yu asked people to leave the team and go back to Taoyuan Village to inform them of their situation, so that the village would be ready to welcome them.

And here, Wen Ming's family is out of breath.

But none of them complained that they were tired, including the two young girls, who had been gritting their teeth and persevering all the time, which made Mu Yu and his party look at each other with admiration, and they didn't say anything about their slowing down.

It was evening, and before the sun completely set, they could already see Taoyuan Village.

When it was dark, they lit two torches and continued on their way.

From a distance, one can see rows of torches lit up at the entrance of Taoyuan Village, illuminating the entrance of the village like daytime.

Mu Yu's heart warmed, and she smiled and turned to Wen Ming's family and said,
"Look, Taoyuan Village is here, that's the villagers who welcome us!"

Wen Ming looked at the light blankly, and then looked back blankly, both puzzled and restrained.

Mu Yu led a group of people to the entrance of the village, and found that there were more than a dozen people waiting there, all dressed thinly, and when they came back, smiles appeared on their red faces from the cold.

"Amitabha, it's good that you are all right, go back and keep warm!"

Mu Yu was very moved and said,
"Everyone, go back and keep warm. It's too late today. Let's talk about things tomorrow. Go home!"

Dismissing the crowd, Mu Yu saw Tao Hua and Granny Chen, and asked,
"Is the house and the meals I have prepared ready? There are seven of them in the family."

Taohua walked beside her and said,

"It was prepared, but if there are only seven people, I'm afraid it's not enough. It's a little late when we know that there are seven people. The meals are more evenly distributed, but the house is not good..."

"What's wrong, this is a family, and there are two little dolls, the kang is quite big, squeeze them together, and sleep well."

It was Grandma Chen who said this.

Mu Yu thought about it again, yes, it seems that he can sleep well, so let's make do with it for a night.

"Mother-in-law, take me and them there."

Grandma Chen nodded.

Mu Yu greeted Wen Ming, "Come with me."

Granny Chen led them to a room behind the stone house.

Mu Yu was a little surprised, this house is also good, but the location is a bit special, although it is close to the stone house, it is a really remote place, which is just in line with Wen Ming's desire for peace.

Entering the room, a gust of hot air spreads over the surface, followed by the fresh aroma of millet porridge.

Granny Chen lit a candle and placed it on the table, the small room was illuminated a bit.

Mu Yu slowed down, saw that the lower kang was covered with a layer of straw mats, a layer of thin mattresses, and a worn-out thin quilt, and nodded. This is considered standard in the village.

Then she heard Granny Chen's voice greeting them for dinner, and she greeted them several times in a row.

She turned her head and found that Wen Ming's family stood motionless and did not speak to Granny Chen, as if unable to communicate.

She walked over, looked into Wen Ming's eyes, and said,

"After driving for so long, let's eat something. This is the millet porridge we often eat. See if you can get used to it."

Only then did Wen Ming walk to the table, and after looking at it for a long time, he picked up a bowl of millet porridge, took a sip, then raised his head and drank the whole bowl of porridge.

He looked at the family behind him with a bit of surprise on his face, then picked up another bowl and handed it to his woman, who drank slowly.

Grandma Chen muttered something and said,
"This pot is probably not enough for them to eat. I'll bring another pot. The peach blossoms are cooked."

"Mother-in-law, be careful, don't fall down when it's dark."

Granny Chen waved her hand, "It's just two steps, nothing."

Mu Yu stayed and watched Wen Ming serve millet porridge to several children bowl by bowl, and the children were willing to eat only after he gave it.

There is also the fact that others did not respond to talking to them before. This should be the fault of living underground for too long.

It seems that there is still some way to go before they can return to normal life.
