The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

In ancient times, people slept early and woke up early. As soon as the sky was light, people basically woke up. Gu Liang also got up after the rooster crowed and washed. The towels here are made of cotton cloth, a thin layer, and have good water absorption. After breakfast, Gu Liang carried his backpack to pick pig grass as usual, but he came to an unknown stream in advance. Lanxi Village is located in the south, with dense water networks and continuous rice fields. Naturally, such streams are indispensable. As for choosing this place, it is naturally to avoid people. Rural women usually go to the big river to wash clothes. Naturally, few people come to this small stream because the water is not deep. The most important thing about famine is food. As the saying goes, food is the first necessity of the people. The most important thing in food is clean water, which is very important regardless of drought or flood. So storing water is a big deal and the best solution. Since the space is large enough, the first thing is to store water.

Streams that have not been polluted by modern times are good. The stream water is clear and transparent. There are layers of yellow sand at the bottom of the stream. The stream water reflects the sunlight, which looks like broken glass. Occasionally, loaches seem to be stimulated by something, and they swirl at the bottom of the water, stirring up a little mud and disappearing. The black mud on the shore is delicate and soft, and the green leaves of the reeds in early spring are pulled out of the mud. With the spring breeze in the stream, the leaves twitch slightly and dance with the rhythm of the stream.

Gu Liang looked at all this, as if he had returned to his childhood in his hometown, carefree, without worrying about anything, and only caring about where he could go to play.

Now Gu Liang is also a ten-year-old child, but he has begun to worry about the future. Famine in ancient times was no small matter. Starving people were everywhere, and eating children was a common occurrence. Sometimes, people might not starve to death but be eaten by others.

Gu Liang first tried to get a bowl of water and poured it into the space, and found that the water was absorbed instantly. Uh... It seems that I can't store water like this. Can I add more? Gu Liang continued to add water and found that no matter how much water was poured in, it disappeared instantly.

It seems that only containers can be used to store water. Gu Liang had to give up and go home after picking pig grass.

After returning home, Gu Liang first handed his backpack to his mother and began to look for containers all over the house.

"Since there is a seven-year famine, a lot of water is needed. Let's count one liter of water per person per day, which is 0.4 tons of water per year. There are 10 people in the Gu family now. In seven years, at least 28 tons of drinking water are needed. This drinking water alone is not a small number. What to use to store it is a big problem."

Gu Liang first thought of the water tank at home. This water tank is quite good. If there are hundreds of tanks, wouldn't the problem be solved? But it was just a thought. The landlords probably had hundreds of these jars at home.

What to use to store water? Gu Liang wandered around the house. Although the Gu family was not completely destitute, there were basically few things except tables, chairs and benches. There was really nothing to store water.

No way, the first thing to survive the famine could not be completed. Gu Liang now had a sense of déjà vu of dying before achieving his goal. It was too difficult. (Gu Liang had a sense of déjà vu that he was Zhuge Liang...)

"Gu Liang, what are you wandering around for? I have cooked the pig food. Please help me feed it. I still have things to do." The person who said this was Gu Liang's second aunt Wang.

Gu Liang had seen in the past few days that Wang was a clever and slippery person who would do as little as possible. Moreover, because she had two children, both of them were girls, and Old Lady Gu was very partial to Gu Liang, and she always gave him the delicious food every day, which led to Wang Shi's complaints about herself, but it was not easy to get angry openly, so she could only complain secretly sometimes. However, because Wang Shi herself had no son, her status in this family was always not very good, and she always thought that she was still young and would always have something.

"Here I come"

Gu Liang himself was not hypocritical, and he was not so particular. He just did these small things when he did them, and he didn't have much to do every day. Even if he noticed that the second aunt was a little jealous of him, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, they were all family members who saw each other every day, and she had never done anything bad to him.

Gu Liang strode to the clay pot for cooking pig food at home. The Gu family cooked in an iron pot, but the iron pot was expensive, and his family couldn't afford a second iron pot, so the family cooked pig food in a clay pot.

"Here, you can carry the pig food to the pig pen. The bucket is heavy, so you can carry it a little bit. After carrying it a few times, you will eventually finish it." After saying that, the second aunt hurriedly walked away, as if Gu Liang would call her to carry it the next second.

Gu Liang was about to carry the bucket over, but found that this ancient wooden barrel

It was very thick and heavy, and a wooden barrel weighed almost ten kilograms. If it was filled with a barrel, Gu Liang, with his current physique, would not be able to lift it even if he used all his strength.

Things are dead, but people are alive. Gu Liang was going to use a ladle to deliver them one by one, since the pigpen was just a dozen meters away.

Gu Liang glanced around and found a ladle leaning against the wall. However, this ladle was not made of a gourd, but a bamboo tube, and it was connected with a thin bamboo tube as a handle, which was quite useful.

"By the way, bamboo, why am I so stupid. This bamboo is straight inside and outside, and one bamboo section can hold at least 2L of water. The most important thing is that there are large areas of moso bamboo growing in their village." Gu Liang felt much more comfortable at this moment, which solved the big problem in his heart.

After finding a way, Gu Liang felt that the old sow weighing several hundred kilograms in front of him looked much more beautiful when feeding the pigs. The smacking sound of the old sow eating was like a symphony in Gu Liang's ears.

At this time, Chen Dani, who had just finished washing the vegetables, saw his brother grinning at an old sow.

"Brother, why are you grinning at a spotted pig?" Dani joked.

"Uh, it's nothing, I just think this pig is very gluttonous."

"Is a pig that can't be eaten still called a pig?" Dani said with a smile.

Gu Liang's sister has a very good relationship with him and often jokes with him. Gu Liang, who has been working alone in the city for a long time, likes this kind of family harmony very much. He feels that now that he knows what will happen in the future, he needs to prepare in advance, at least to let his current family get through this sadness. A single wood cannot make a boat, and only by joining forces can we live well in this ancient society with extremely low risk resistance.
