Chapter 53: Saving People Again
The rice meal in the coconut forest was over. The four men and four women gathered together again and heard the little boy's intermittent shouting. Some of them looked blank and some were frightened. Although Quan Hao couldn't understand, he guessed that the little boy was scolding him. What these people thought about him was not concerned. Whether the little boy could live depends on his own luck.
Food is indeed a magic medicine for curing diseases. Among the eight people, two men and three women can already stand up with the tree. Soon after, I believe they can help Quan Hao share some work. Girl B woke up again and was leaning against a coconut tree. Seeing that the little girl told her about her salvation, she saw Quan Hao coming over, and quickly moved out of her position.
Quan Hao touched the girl Yi's pulse and jumped very quickly. This was normal, after all, she was hungry. He made an inquiring expression. The other party nodded. It was troublesome to speak. Quan Hao turned to look at the little girl again, and she clapped and nodded excitedly. Girl Yi woke up under her care, which made the little girl feel that she had not let Quan Hao down.
There was a bag of rice on hand. Quan Hao handed it to the little girl and asked her to feed it to the patient. After taking it, the little girl swallowed heavily. The white rice was fragrant and sweet, and she wanted to eat it after eating it. This round rice bun was just about her, and she felt that her stomach was crying again.
However, Quan Hao shook his head at her. This is for the patient, so you must make it clear.
The little girl was shocked, nodded quickly, and shook her head firmly. The nodding meant that I knew, and shook her head to mean that she would never steal food.
Quan Hao couldn't help but pat her head with a solemn face and signaled her to open her mouth. The little girl believed in him very much, and opened her obediently, revealing a bit of yellow teeth. He stuffed a piece of chocolate into her mouth.
This was the second time the little girl tasted this black candy, but she was still so sweet that she couldn't believe it. She covered her mouth and stared at Quan Hao. Quan Hao just smiled. It was really not too easy to coax ancient people. At this time, a strong fragrance blew across her nose. The fish soup was ready.
How did he get two fish into ten parts and hurt his brain cells again? Without weighing tools, he could only come. He served two bowls of soup and even asked the little girl to take it away. One part was hers, and the other part was from the girl B who couldn't get through. The little girl's trembling look was really heartbreaking. Quan Hao kept watching her return to the girl B's side, and then divided the remaining eight portions of fish. He told him that the remaining fish soup could be drunk at will. However, he only left one bowl and told everyone that they had to queue up if they wanted to drink the soup. He also gestured and taught them the rules of queuing.
Quan Hao found that although these children were not proactive, they would not be discounted as long as they said what he said. Eight people sat around the soup pot. Starting from Boy A designated by Quan Hao, he was the first to pick up a bowl of hot fish soup and drink it, and then handed the bowl to Boy B who was the first to him. He just took the bowl clockwise until the eighth person handed the bowl to Boy A to continue the next cycle. Maybe it was because the fish and rice filled their stomachs, or maybe it was because they were afraid of being punished, and the atmosphere of the children sharing the fish soup was always harmonious. It was not like fighting each other like snatching rice.
This is very good. Quan Hao just wanted to tell them that as long as he abides by the rules and is patient, he can have food to eat without stealing or robbing. These children are hungry for a long time and their mentality will often be distorted. The little boy is an example. In order to get along well with others in the future, he needs to take some precautions and corrections.
Quan Hao took the time to go back to the camp and gathered what he had eaten and drunk together. After counting, there were five buckets of water in total, two and a half bags of rice. The bucket was a 20-liter pure water bucket, and the rice was a 20-pound bag. A pot of rice used for three pounds of rice, and on average, it was three ounces of rice made from three ounces of water. If he had to do it, he would definitely have enough. However, because ordinary ancient people rarely ate meat and vegetables and lacked oil and water in their stomachs, they had a great demand for rice. Not to mention that they were hungry people who had been hungry for no time. This reserve was far inferior. It was necessary.
We have to go back to the earth to transport a batch of food. However, it is not a solution for refugees who float to the island to rely on him to support them. With so many mouths, they can only eat rice, and it will not take long to eat them. When their bodies recover, they still have to support themselves. There are seafood on the island and there are a lot of fruits on the Southern Peninsula, so Quan Hao dare not eat them casually. But there are definitely people who can recognize them, which is also a source of food. Besides, they can ask them to open up land to grow grain. The island is sunny and watery, and growing rice is a good choice. When the grain harvest in the first season can form a virtuous cycle, and he will not need to continue subsidies.
During the whole day, the canoes floating on the sea never stopped. The smoke on the island has been indefinitely. Quan Hao adhered to the principle of treating everyone equally. Whenever he received someone, he would give a coconut, a large bowl of salt water, and then give a pack of rice for those who could eat. The two pots had long been taken over by the first batch of girls, and they also took on the job of distributing food. As for the boys, Quan Hao drove them to the beach to pick up sea goods. No matter what they picked, they were thrown into the boiling pot and cooked and distributed. The cost of hiring this batch of children was not ordinary cheap, a cup of water per hour, an irregular but certainly not much cooked seafood, and a meal of white rice before the sun sets.
As for Quan Hao himself, he could not go anywhere. He could only stay in the refugee camp to maintain order. As the number of people increased, the hungry people became more and more messy. These weak people who could not even walk had such great strength when they saw food. They fought for whom they first and whom they later. Sometimes he even had to show off the sharp tip of the gun to suppress the chaotic bullet. Fortunately, these people had not completely lost their minds and knew that the orders on the island could not be violated. This did not cause any greater disaster.
There were 48 canoes floating on the island, each carrying one person. The ones who arrived on the shore first were all children, followed by women and the elderly, and the adult men at the end. It turned out that the children were the lightest, and the currents pushed the canoe faster, while the adult men were the heaviest and slower. This also explains why there were two empty ships a day earlier than the large army. It was just that they were not sure whether the two ships had not loaded people or whether the people inside could not bear to steal the sea and committed suicide.
