Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 299 Yunhua Sends Saplings 2

"Where are the repatriated refugees going? When Lu Chuan and I went to the county town just now, we found a lot of soldiers inside. Are they coming soon?"

"It's almost here. They should be here in two or three days. The government escorted them all the way back, so the refugees' situation isn't too bad.

When I came back, I saw that the government had provided them with ox carts to transport things, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled also came back on carts.”

"That's good. At least I don't have to carry my belongings back home, which saves me a lot of energy."

"Try not to go down the mountain during this period. Wait until the situation down the mountain stabilizes before coming down. You still have to be extra careful about everything." Yunhua reminded them worriedly.

"Okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing and I won't take any risks." Lu Chuan agreed.

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's unload our things first. We have to travel soon."

Then Yunhua began to direct the two carriages behind to move closer to the woods, and he also drove his own carriage inside.

This time, Yunhua brought back a total of three carriages, which were filled with various saplings and flowers. They were full and looked like a lot.

After the few people drove the carriage into the woods, they began to unload the saplings and put them aside for the time being.

After the others left, Lu Chuan and Yun Hua came to the boat, and Yun Hua said

"This boat can't carry much at once, so put the rest aside and hide it. Try to carry it all to the mountain tomorrow to avoid being discovered by those who are being sent back."

"I know. Just leave these to me and don't worry." Lu Chuan said.

Then Lu Chuan took down the things that he had prepared for Yunhua from the boat.

He handed it to Yunhua and said, "The food in this bamboo basket can be kept for a long time. This needs to be eaten in the next two days. Take a look at it later."

Yunhua directly opened a bamboo basket, took out a pancake from it, and started eating it immediately. "It smells so good. I've been wanting to eat this for a long time."

"When it's convenient in the future, I'll make some food that can be stored and ask someone to bring it to you. Or you can tell me in advance when you come near here and I'll make it for you and you can come and get it." Xu Han said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite. I'll come back for a free meal when time is convenient for me. Hahahaha."

"As long as you don't mind the trouble, you're welcome to come back for dinner anytime. Anyway, I'm not the one who's tired from the journey." Lu Chuan joked.

"It's no trouble at all for stuttering. Hahahaha."

They chatted for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, Yunhua suggested leaving first.

Lu Chuan and Xu Han stood on the official road, watching Yun Hua's figure going away, without saying a word. Only when Yun Hua disappeared did Lu Chuan pull Xu Han into the woods.

"Let's put these things into the space first. These chickens and ducklings can only be put on the boat and transported away." Xu Han said.

"Okay, can it fit in this much space?"

"Sure, there aren't many things in the space now. The space is still very large."

After Xu Han finished speaking, he began to collect things into the space. After everything was collected, the two of them carried the bamboo baskets and walked towards the boat.

It was getting late, so Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't dare to stay and hurried home quickly.

When they got home, the sun had already set. As soon as Xu Han entered the yard, she heard Ze'er crying.

Seeing this, he quickly washed his hands and walked quickly into the house.

"You're finally back. This child is so stubborn. He hasn't eaten much all day. He only eats a few bites when he's very hungry." Grandpa Zhao was instantly relieved when he saw Xu Han coming back.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me do it." Xu Han said as she took Ze'er from Grandpa Zhao's arms.

Seeing this, Grandpa Zhao turned around and walked out of the yard. Xu Han hurriedly began to feed Ze'er.

While feeding Ze'er, he also did not forget to care about Mu'er.

"Is Mu'er well behaved at home today? Did you eat well?"

"Mu'er is very well behaved and eats well, but his brother is not well behaved. He cries and refuses to eat."

"My little brother is disobedient. If he doesn't eat, he will go hungry." Xu Han said, looking at the little son in her arms.

After drinking milk, Ze'er stopped crying immediately. He held his little feet with one hand and ate his rice in big mouthfuls.

"You won't grow tall if you don't eat. Your brother is not a good boy."

"Yes, Mu'er is the best. You eat well even when mother is not at home. Mother will give you a small cookie as a reward later." Xu Han said to Mu'er with a smile.

"Okay, Mu'er, eat your meal obediently."

"Mu'er, daddy has chickens, ducklings and geese. Do you want to go and see them?" Xu Han asked Mu'er, thinking that children like these.

"Yes, Mu'er, go find daddy." After saying that, he ran out.

"Be careful, Daddy is in the backyard."

Lu Chuan had just arrived home and without even having time to get close to his son, he quickly walked to the backyard.

The chicken, duck and goose seedlings have been kept in bamboo baskets for many days. They need to be spread out and ventilated quickly.

A lot of chickens, ducks and geese were crowded together, and there was very little space inside the bamboo basket, making it impossible for them to move around.

In addition, for so many days, I have been eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the bamboo basket, and the smell has become unbearable.

After arriving at the backyard, I first separated the chickens, ducks and geese and put them in the pen. Then I took out the stone trough that I had used to feed the chickens, ducks and geese, and prepared clean water and food for them.

After feeding Ze'er, Xu Han carried Ze'er to the backyard.

As soon as I arrived, I saw Mu'er feeding them food happily, and Grandpa Zhao was watching beside her.

"How many chickens, ducks and geese are there? It looks like there should be quite a lot. It should be enough for us to eat eggs in the future." Xu Han asked as he walked over here.

"I just counted them and there are quite a few. 34 chicks, 23 ducklings and 19 gooselings.

But some of them don’t look very energetic, I don’t know if they can recover later.” Lu Chuan said.

"These are quite a lot. We won't be able to eat all of them when they lay eggs. Can you tell how many are female?" Xu Han asked.

"Almost half of them are females. If they all survive, there will be enough eggs to eat," Lu Chuan explained.

"Then let's take good care of them first and see if they survive." Grandpa Zhao also said.

"Mu'er, do you like these little animals?" Xu Han asked Mu'er, who was looking particularly happy.

"Mu'er likes it."

"Then you will be responsible for feeding them from now on, okay?"

"Okay, keep them."

Xu Han was also very happy to hear that Mu'er liked these little animals very much.

There are no other friends to play with in the deep mountains, so it would be nice if there were some small animals to keep him company.

At least he is no longer alone, and small animals can be his good friends.
