Seventy Buddha Cannon Fodder

When leaving Xiyuan Town, Gu Mingdong had a snakeskin bag on his body and a bottle in his hand, because he didn't bring a bag that could hold food, and the container for things was a gift from Lao Lu.

For a half-sized deer, only one catty of turbid vegetable oil, thirty catties of rice and one hundred catties of sweet potatoes were exchanged.

Looking at the big bag, most of it is coarse grains, and the sweet potatoes are not eaten at all.

There are six people in the old Gu's family. Gu Mingdong's body is malnourished all year round. If he continues to be hungry and full, it will hurt the bottom of his body. After trying to live again, he will never go hungry again.

In addition, the three elders in the family are all teenagers in the upright development stage. When they can eat, they will keep pinching those crooked ideas if they are not full.

It is estimated that such a small amount of food will not last long.

Gu Mingdong walked back carrying the snakeskin bag, while walking, he was thinking about how to teach the children.

Just ordering them to beat and scold them is useless, you need a big stick in one hand, a carrot in the other hand, and even a steel rod has to straighten their crooked tempers.

Halfway to the road, Gu Mingdong had to stop to take a breath, his body was too weak, a meal of meat would not be able to support him like this, especially when he was carrying a hundred catties of grain on the return journey, his eyes were staring at the moment.

Sitting on the big rock, Gu Mingdong wiped off his sweat and put his hands on the ground.

The imprint on the heart was slightly warm, and the indescribable power made Gu Mingdong quickly sense it within a radius of one mile.

When he was at his most powerful, he could sense living creatures within a radius of ten miles, which was better than radar infrared searchlights. His teammates laughed and said that this was not a supernatural ability, but that the gods thought he was too useless and sealed him as a mountain god.

It's a pity that zombies are not living things, and they are no different from stones in perception. This ability is useless in the last days and is only suitable for logistics.

Now through time travel, the ability has followed, but it has been weakened a lot.

Gu Mingdong was very satisfied. He had a premonition that as long as he lived well, in this world, supernatural powers would have unexpected effects and even become stronger.

He was very curious about what the supernatural ability that was restricted everywhere in the last days and could not be improved would become in the end.

After a while, he raised his hand in disappointment, not to mention hares, not even voles in the vicinity, and they were caught by the famine villagers.

In the middle of the night, he didn't waste his energy catching meat everywhere, so he simply opened the snakeskin bag, took out a sweet potato from inside, rubbed it on his body, and took a bite.

The sweet potatoes are from last year, and the skin is a bit shriveled, but the white and tender flesh is revealed after one bite, and the sweet taste sweeps through the mouth.

Gu Mingdong sat on the big rock, and with a few bites, he finished a big sweet potato, and his gurgling stomach stopped.

After resting for a while, Gu Mingdong felt much better, stood up and continued to walk back.

He is very cautious, he has to squat down to sense every once in a while, so as not to bump into the elusive tiger blocking the way.

He didn't want to be caught because of the little grain on his back.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly, until he returned to Dahe Village, Gu Mingdong was lucky enough not to encounter the red sleeves blocking the way for inspection.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the village, Gu Mingdong sensed that something was wrong.

He dodged and hid in the shadow behind the tree, looking forward.

In the farmland where the seeds had just been scattered during the day, a black figure was bending over, groping silently on the ground.

In the dark night, two nightwalkers met on a narrow road. One was standing on the ridge with a snakeskin bag on his back, and the other was squatting bent over in the farmland. The two bumped into each other.

Gu Mingdong didn't make a sound. He knew the position, and the other party must not be able to see his face clearly.

The people in the farmland were not so calm. He turned around and ran when he heard the noise. He plopped and fell a dog to eat shit. He groaned but didn't dare to bark.

Gu Mingdong also heaved a sigh of relief, guessing that the person was stealing grain to eat at night, one of them was stealing, the other was selling privately, and they would all be criticized and fought if they were pulled out.

He didn't dare to stay too long, after making sure that the man had run away and there were no other people around, Gu Mingdong quickly returned to the old Gu's house.

Without disturbing the people in the room, Gu Mingdong threw the object directly from the low mud wall, jumped and turned into the wall.

When he jumped down, Gu Mingdong staggered, his mind was very flexible, but his body reaction couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stretched out his hand for support, so he didn't let himself fall.

But that small movement still awakened Gu Mingnan. The second younger brother Gu was thinking about what his elder brother said before he left. He tossed and turned in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. At one moment he was worried that his stupid brother would take risks, and at another moment he was afraid that he would lose.

Hearing movement at this moment, Second Brother Gu hurriedly opened the door and ran out without even his clothes on.

"elder brother?"

Seeing the closed courtyard door and the elder brother squatting by the courtyard wall swinging his wrists, Second Brother Gu's eyes widened.

Gu Mingdong stretched his wrist to make sure it wasn't hurt, and then said: "You came just in time, let's move the things in first."

Second Brother Gu saw the big bag next to him, and his eyes widened immediately: "Did you really get the food?"

Gu Mingdong glanced at him, and reminded: "Hurry up, don't let people hear anything."

The second brother Gu hurriedly said, and ran over to carry the snakeskin bag, only to find that there was still a lot of food, a big bag full, no matter what was in it, it would be enough for them to eat for a while.

After entering the door, Second Brother Gu couldn't help opening his pocket, seeing the rice all over his eyes at first glance, he almost screamed out.

"Brother, where did you get so much rice?" Second Brother Gu asked after him.

If food was so easy to obtain, the villagers wouldn't all be starving, not to mention that their family has no money, power, or power, and they don't even have any relatives from better off.

Besides, this is rice. With so many families in their village, there are definitely no more than five households who can have rice in their homes. If some families don't hide it, how can they lend it to others.

"Our family has long been out of money, and now we can't buy it even if we have money, and we can't buy it without food stamps. Where did you get it?"

Could it be that he misunderstood the person, the eldest brother is not a rabbit with guts, and really went to steal food?

The second younger brother Gu was anxious and worried, chasing after Gu Mingdong to ask, even ignoring the food.

Gu Mingdong could guess what he was thinking, but he didn't explain, just said: "Put things away, I'll sleep first."

He was tired and sleepy, and his eyes were almost squinting.

"elder brother--"

"If you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I wake up." Gu Mingdong was really tired, and he deliberately left him alone, trying to grind his ass temper.

Gu Erdi wanted to ask again, but saw that the elder brother had already gone back to the room and lay down, and he didn't intend to explain his doubts at all. His heart was like a cat scratching, but he didn't dare to wake him up.

Before he knew it, the eldest brother already had some prestige from the head of the family in his heart.

In the dark night, Second Brother Gu poked his head into the snakeskin bag, greedily inhaled the aroma of the grain, and chewed another grain of rice to make sure that he was not dreaming.

After eating a grain of rice, Second Brother Gu swallowed, feeling even hungrier, but also more frowning.

Gu Mingdong fell asleep as soon as he fell down, his exhaustion made him sleep soundly.

After a dreamless night, when he was awakened by the sunlight, Gu Mingdong was still a little absent-minded, staring at the roof with blank eyes.

"Brother, are you awake?" A timid voice asked from outside, it was Gu Simei.

"woke up."

This is not the end of the world, there are no viruses, no zombies, and no intrigue to fight to the death.

Although poor, the air is clean, the world is peaceful, and everything is alive with hope and vitality.

Gu Mingdong twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking of the food he carried home, he turned over in a good mood and got up.

When he was fully dressed and walked out of the room, he saw three big and two squatting in the room, looking around at the food he carried home last night. A pot of wild vegetables.

As soon as Gu Mingdong came out, five pairs of eyes raised up in unison.

For a moment, Gu Mingdong had the illusion that he had raised five different kinds of small animals, waiting to be fed, waiting for his master to feed them.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows: "What are you staring at me for?"

He walked over and opened the pot to see that it was all green and oily, obviously there was no rice in it: "Why didn't you put any rice?"

Gu Erdi and Gu Sanmei pushed Gu Simei at the same time, and Gu Simei mustered up her courage and asked timidly, "Brother, brother, where did you get the food?"

Before he finished speaking, tears fell one by one, and while wiping away tears, he said: "It's all our fault that we are useless, and the eldest brother will do this to feed us. What if this is discovered? What if it is discovered? Well, my eldest brother said that I couldn’t bear it because I was hungry and stole it. Anyway, I am young, and they will beat me up at most.”

Before Gu Mingdong could answer, Second Brother Gu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, you won't steal food just for a bet, right?"

When Gu Mingdong fell asleep, the second brother Gu couldn't hold back and woke up the two younger sisters.

The three brothers and sisters had discussed it, and they all felt that their eldest brother was incapable of getting food, so there was nothing he could do except stealing it, but stealing food would require criticism, fighting, or shooting if it failed.

This is their eldest brother. After thinking about it, the three of them didn't dare to touch the food.

When the twins woke up, they saw sweet potatoes and wanted to eat them, but they were rejected by the second brother Gu with raised eyebrows. They only gave them a bowl of wild vegetable water to fill their stomachs. They dared not wake Gu Mingdong up, and held back their saliva until now.

Gu Sanmei swallowed her saliva, and said, "Brother, stealing food is a felony, and you will be shot. Why don't we return the food before anyone finds out."

After finishing speaking, he seemed a little reluctant, licked the corner of his mouth, and held back again.

Gu Erdi stuck his neck awkwardly, and said in a rough voice: "You still told me not to steal or rob, and then I went to do it myself, that's fine, I'll listen to you from now on, just return it soon Bar."

Even the twins, who didn't know what happened, bit their fingers, tilted their heads to look at it, and shouted: "Don't eat, don't eat."

Hearing these words, Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thought that the three cheap siblings would only be happy when they saw the food, and couldn't wait to open their stomachs to eat.

Unexpectedly, not only did they not eat, but they also offered to return it. It seems that his original evaluation of these three was also biased.

Gu Mingdong raised his eyebrows, but his eyes softened a lot, and he interrupted them lightly: "Who said the food was stolen?"

"Think I'm you?" Gu Mingdong glared at the second child, opened the rice bag, scooped up two bowls neatly, poured them into the wild vegetable pot and boiled them together.

"Brother!" Gu Simei didn't have time to stop her, her eyes were red with anxiety, she was afraid that someone would break in the next moment and take their eldest brother away by handcuffs.

Gu Mingdong glanced at them: "Don't worry, the food comes from the right way, and no one will come to the door."

Second brother Gu's eyes flickered, obviously he didn't quite believe this.

Gu Mingdong reached out and gave him a chestnut: "Why, do you want to admit it if you lose?"

The second brother Gu covered his forehead, wondering when did the big brother's hands become so strong, and asked awkwardly, "Where did that come from?"

"Don't worry about it, it's neither stolen nor robbed anyway, just relax." Gu Mingdong pointed to the grain on the ground, "Second, are these considered grain?"

Second brother Gu looked at the opened snakeskin bag. In the morning, he found that the big bag was not rice as he thought, but sweet potatoes underneath, but even sweet potatoes are a rare ration nowadays.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it."

Gu Mingdong looked at him and asked, "Then do you remember what you promised yourself?"

Second brother Gu blushed: "Remember... from today on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

Gu Mingdong nodded in satisfaction, and only said, "I just need you to do one thing, stay away from Wang Mazi."

Gu Erdi was still thinking about Wang Mazi's good plan in his heart, and he was a little unhappy.

Gu Mingdong asked him: "Or do you want to be a puppy?"

Second brother Gu is a person who wants face, so he naturally doesn't want to be a puppy, so he immediately said: "I'm not a puppy, if I don't play with him, I won't play with him, I'm a man and I will do what I say."

Gu Mingdong showed a smile: "Okay, I will watch."

Two large bowls of rice were added to the pot, and the aroma of the grains soon permeated, and even the wild vegetables that were eaten with acid regurgitation became delicious. They were not yet cooked, and several people swallowed one after another.

Soon, the rice turned into porridge, a big pot of wild vegetable porridge.

Gu Mingdong opened the pot and distributed a large bowl to each person impartially. There was less water and more porridge, which was as thick as rice. After one bite, his stomach was ironed, and he even felt better.

The smell of the food soothed the uneasy hearts of the children, and now they didn't think about how the food came, Xilihulu, they were eating faster than anyone else.

The twin boys couldn't lift their heads from eating, and they didn't need Gu Simei to take care of them. They drank quickly with the bowl in their hands, shouting that it was delicious.

After eating, Gu Simei also added water to the pot, and drank it clean after washing the pot, without any waste.

Gu Erdi patted his chubby stomach: "It's been a long time since I've eaten so full, rice is delicious."

The two twins followed suit and sat there patting their stomachs: "The rice is so delicious."

Seeing this scene, Gu Mingdong felt a little sad.

Gu Sanmei had already put away the rest of the food and locked it in the cabinet, and said happily: "With so much food, our family will definitely be able to survive until the autumn harvest."

Gu Simei was clearing the dishes and chopsticks. The earthen stove was still on fire, so she poured water into the pot so that the residual heat could boil the water without wasting firewood.

With regret in his mouth, he said: "Actually, you don't need to put so much rice just now, just one bowl is enough, and you can eat the rest for another meal."

Having said that, they have already calculated carefully, and put the rice together to cook porridge for the twins. They are young and eat rice porridge to maintain their health.

They only eat sweet potatoes, which are also delicious and fill their stomachs. Occasionally they add some wild vegetables to make porridge, which is more fragrant.

There is also that bottle of oil, which looks like it can weigh a catty, but I don't have a frying pan at home, otherwise it will be delicious if I fry it casually.

Gu Simei also suggested: "Brother, our family doesn't need to cook. Why don't we exchange vegetable oil for food? It can be exchanged a lot."

Gu Mingdong brought back a bottle of vegetable oil from a long distance, not for food, of course, looking at the sallow and emaciated family, he felt that the most lacking thing now was oil and water.

"No, when I find a way to get an iron pot to cook and eat, don't count too much food, just eat with an open stomach, and our family won't be short of food in the future."

Hearing these words, several children showed dazed expressions.

Only Gu Mingdong has started to seriously think about how to get a big iron pot!
