Traveling through the famine, I stockpiled supplies like crazy

Chapter 274 Imagine the future

"How can yours be left out? Everyone gets a share." After saying this, Zhao Yunyun continued to take out gifts.

Xu Han's was an exquisite jade hairpin, Lu Chuan's was a folding fan, and Grandpa Zhao and the Taoist priest's were a set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones.

"The Taoist priest is not here, so I will put it away for him first." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Okay, you keep it first." Zhao Yunyun said.

"I guess everyone is hungry. It's almost time for lunch. I'll go make lunch first," said Lu Chuan.

"I'll help you." Grandpa Zhao said.

Yunhua also wanted to help, but was rejected by Lu Chuan, "You have been traveling for such a long time, you should take a rest first."

"Yes, Yunhua, let's chat here for a while and let them get busy." Xu Han also said.

"Then I won't be polite." Yunhua said and sat down again to play with Mu'er.

Seeing Yunhua and Muer having fun, Xu Han gossiped about Zhao Yunyun and asked, "Last time Yunhua came back, I heard about your fiancé. How is he treating you?"

"He's a nice guy with a good temper and he's nice to me." Zhao Yunyun said shyly.

"Please tell me more about it." Xu Han asked curiously.

So Xu Han and Zhao Yunyun started discussing for an hour, and only ended the topic reluctantly when Lu Chuan called for dinner.

Xu Han listened to Zhao Yunyun talk a lot about Li Lin. From Zhao Yunyun's words, she could clearly feel that Zhao Yunyun still liked Li Lin very much.

During this hour, Xu Han had already found out everything about Li Lin's family. Seeing that Li Lin was indeed someone she could trust, she felt relieved.

Today's lunch is simple, and we will make a big meal in the evening. During the meal, everyone inevitably talked about the situation outside.

"Is the epidemic outside over now?" Lu Chuan asked.

“It’s almost over, luckily I have the prescription that grandpa prepared in advance.

When the plague first started, I repeatedly adjusted the prescription with my grandfather based on the symptoms of the infected people. After ensuring that the prescription was effective, I immediately submitted it to the court, so the entire plague was controlled quite quickly. "Zhao Yunyun said while eating.

"That's good. Not many people should die from this plague." Xu Han said.

"Because we discovered it in time, and I sent a letter to the court in advance, the court also took some precautions, so the situation can be controlled.

However, many people died in some remote areas, but fortunately, the situation was brought under control in most places in time," Zhao Yunyun explained.

"Fortunately, we have these two great doctors, Grandpa Zhao and Yunyun, otherwise the people of Yuanqing Kingdom would be in trouble this time." Xu Han flattered.

"Hahahaha, you girl." Grandpa Zhao said with a smile and tapped Xu Han's forehead.

"I guess there won't be heavy rain or snow in the future. Now people can finally return to normal life." Lu Chuan said.

"There is news that those who fled to the south will be sent back to their hometowns by the government. The city cannot be empty. Now that the natural disaster is over, the northern region still needs to be inhabited." Yunhua said.

"Those who fled to the south were killed or injured, and there are not many survivors. Won't they have to go through the same thing again when they walk back to the north from the south? By then, I'm afraid there will be even fewer survivors." Xu Han said.

"The imperial court encourages people in the south to live in the north. The north has a sparse population and a large area of ​​land, so they can get more land there.

Moreover, this repatriation was organized by the government, and there were government officials along the way, so it shouldn’t be difficult to get there.” Yunhua explained.

"That sounds good." But Xu Han changed her mind and thought that there would be another war soon, and wouldn't these people be the ones who suffered then?

But as Yunhua said, the city cannot be empty for a day. The reason why there was no one in the city before was because there was a severe drought in the northern region. Even if it was captured, there were no people and food. But now it is different. Other countries around it will definitely be ready to move.

Thinking of this, Xu Han asked again, "Is this drought only affecting our Yuanqing country? What about other countries?"

“It is said that other countries in the north were hit by the disaster earlier than us. When our situation was not very serious, they had already cut off their water supply. This is why other countries did not attack us.

By the time they reacted, we had already suffered serious damage, so we could only concentrate our forces to besiege the small countries around us that had water and food." Yunhua said.

"It seems that other countries have not been peaceful in recent years, with constant disasters and wars," said Lu Chuan.

“In recent years, the people have had a hard time, and the country has also been in a difficult situation. I heard from the Taoist priest that the current emperor is already old and may not be able to hold on for much longer.

The princes are fighting over the throne, and if the throne is not settled, there will be no peace in the world." Grandpa Zhao said.

"Oh, life is so hard. Fortunately, we live in the deep mountains. We have endured the previous days, and we will definitely live better in the future. By then, I will plant fruits, flowers and plants in this valley and build a small fish pond. Life will be so comfortable." Xu Han said as he imagined the future.

"Yes, let's ignore those messy things and just live our own lives. I will accompany you to create a paradise that belongs to us." Lu Chuan said, holding Xu Han's hand.

"We will come and live here when the time comes. We can pick fruits and vegetables in our spare time and experience a different life." Yunhua said.

"And me, too. I want to come too. Sister Xu Han, please plant more fruits! I love eating fruits the most." Zhao Yunyun also said happily.

"Hahaha, it seems that I have a place to live in my retirement future. Fishing and drinking tea in such a beautiful environment are really a blessing in life." Grandpa Zhao said happily.

"Spring is coming soon. When spring comes, we can start building our home." Xu Han said.

"When the time comes, I'll see if I can go to the mountains to dig some wild flowers, or when the county town returns to normal, I can buy some flowers and fruit trees and plant our yard with your favorite flowers, plants and fruit trees." Lu Chuan said.

"Don't wait until later. I can get these things. I will ship them back next spring." Yunhua said.

"Really? Then we can grow more than just wild flowers. We can also grow other things by then." Xu Han said excitedly.

"Of course there is no problem with this. Don't underestimate the strength of the Taoist priest and me in the capital. It is not easy to get these things. Just tell us what you want. Generally speaking, we can get it." Grandpa Zhao said.
