Chapter 249 Thorns

No one wants to leave their hometown, and the same goes for Yu Chunsheng's family. The reason why they fled with everyone before was because they knew that if they didn't leave, they would only starve to death and die of thirst if they stayed in their hometown, so they could only leave with everyone else.

But now with the help of gods, they can stay.

Yu Chunsheng went to his parents and brothers and asked them if they wanted to stay. He didn't tell Yu Xiaoguo about meeting the gods. He just said that they could survive even if they didn't leave their hometown.

Of course, no one in the Yu family was willing to leave. After Yu Chunsheng brought out water, bread and cakes, they believed that he might be able to help everyone live without leaving their hometown.

The two bottles of nutrient solution were consumed by Yu Chunsheng and his family. Yu Xiaoguo had received a nutrient injection before and ate a bowl of porridge and a small bowl of soup. He was not hungry now and had all the nutrient solution. Others drank.

After discussing it, the Yu family planned to go home at dawn tomorrow. Yu Chunsheng's grandparents suffered too much when they were young and fled famine, so they are no longer here.

Only Yu Chunsheng's eldest uncle and second uncle still remember the events of escaping from famine. It's just that they were still very young at the time and can't remember the specifics, but they know that escaping from famine is really hard.

So as long as they don't leave their hometown and don't run away, they all agree to stay.

Yu Chunsheng's family has a really large population. In fact, the Yu family has the largest number of people in the whole village, so when everyone in the Yu family stayed and prepared to go back the next day, there were not many other families in the village.

There were several families who had good relations with the Yu family. After seeing them walking back, they thought about it and followed them back. Others, seeing what the Yu family and those other families were doing, felt that they were seeking death, so they still followed the people from other villages without hesitation.

People who have been hungry for a long time are not strong enough, so they didn't go very far after walking all day yesterday. Today, they still returned to their village at night after walking all day.

The village where Yu Chunsheng and his family live is called Yujiacun. Because the village was formed when the Yu family members who were fleeing famine gathered together, so it was called Yujiacun.

Now that everyone was back, Yu Xiaoguo looked at everyone, gritted his teeth and returned to his home, then ran to the hotel.

Warm wine inn.

"Sister store manager, I'm back." Yu Xiaoguo greeted Chen Wenjiu.

Chen Wenjiu, who happened to come downstairs to take a look, smiled after seeing Yu Xiaoguo and said, "You are back in the village? Have you gone home?"

"I'm back home." Yu Xiaoguo nodded, "Sister store manager, I...I came here to ask...can I still get credit?"

"Everyone in my family is starving. Everyone is tired and hungry after walking for a day today. I...I want to give them something on credit..." Yu Xiaoguo said sheepishly.

Chen Wenjiu nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Wenjiu prepared some pure water for Yu Xiaoguo, and also gave him some nutrient solution, small bread, biscuits and the like, hoping that they could survive on these things.

After Yu Xiaoguo returned with the things, Chen Wenjiu contacted Ms. Chen Nuannuan.

"Oh, what do you want to ask me?" Chen Wenjiu couldn't go to the plane where Chen Nuannuan and the others were, but she could still reach them through the connection between the exclusive card and the system. After Chen Nuannuan received her message Just asked.

"Ms. Nuannuan, I want to ask, do you have any plants that can be planted in the northwest?" Chen Wenjiu asked, "The new guests of our hotel are victims from the drought-stricken northwest region, so I Wondering if you have anything over there that can help them survive in a severe drought?"

"Drought?" Chen Nuannuan thought for a while and said, "It really does happen."

"There is a plant called thorns here that is very suitable for growing in arid places. I studied this plant with my team because I thought it could be used to control desertification. This plant only needs to be watered twice after it is planted. That’s it, and the rest will take root in the ground to absorb water.”

"The thorn-thorn only needs to be watered twice, and the remaining water is obtained from underground water sources or rain, etc., and no one needs to continue watering it. Therefore, this kind of plant is very suitable for planting in drought-prone areas. place."

"After all, there are droughts in some places. Although it doesn't rain and rivers and wells will dry up, there is still some water dozens of meters underground, which can provide thorns with growth."

"The fruits of Acanthopanax are also rich in water and have a high sweetness. The fruits of Acanthopanax are about the same size as grapes, and they can also be used to make wine or dried in the sun and used as medicine. It has a wide range of functions."

"If you want people in the northwest to survive, thorns are indeed very suitable for planting there." Chen Nuannuan said.

After hearing her introduction, Chen Wenjiu said in surprise, "Thank you, Ms. Nuannuan, you are really great and great!"

"Don't say that, they are all serving the people." Chen Nuannuan said with a smile, "Okay, how many thorns do you want? I will prepare saplings for you."

It is easy for Chen Nuannuan, who has wood powers and is a scientific researcher, to cultivate a large number of thorn thorn saplings. She does not need to go outside to collect them. She can spawn a large number of saplings by herself.

"Hmm..." Chen Wenjiu thought for a while and said, "Please bring me ten thousand saplings first."

"Then I will give you 10,000 larger saplings, so that they can harvest the thorn fruits soon after planting them."

"Okay, thank you Ms. Nuannuan." Chen Wenjiu said gratefully.

Chen Nuannuan did not charge a high price for the thorny saplings, but of course the price would not be too low. Even if each sapling only cost 10 yuan, 10,000 saplings would cost 100,000 yuan.

Chen Wenjiu did not think it was a pity to spend 100,000 yuan. She thought it was worth it to save people and prevent land desertification.

Yu Xiaoguo quickly brought the things home. He gave his father water, food, and nutrient solution. The family had to think about how to survive since they were back.

They could not all rely on the help of the gods to survive. They had to think of other ways and could not just rely on others.

After the people from Yujia Village came back, the food and water brought back by Yu Xiaoguo allowed them to survive the night. When they got up the next day, they were notified to plant trees around.

Yu Chunsheng said that this was a tree that could be planted during a severe drought, and it could survive without too much water, and it could also bear sweet fruits.

The thorn is a tree, and a tall one at that. A tree can grow to more than ten meters or even dozens of meters high, but it takes many years to grow to dozens of meters high. Now the thorn seedlings that Chen Wenjiu planted for everyone are basically only more than one meter high.

When Chen Wenjiu gave the seedlings to Yu Xiaoguo, she said that after they planted these seedlings, she would provide food and water for them to eat and drink enough, but 80% of the harvest within ten years of planting the seedlings would be given to her.

In other words, 80% of the fruit harvest of these seedlings in ten years will not belong to the people of Yujia Village, but to Chen Wenjiu.

After ten years, all the thorns planted will belong to the people of Yujia Village.

"Really? Chunsheng, if we plant these trees, will there be 20% for us after the fruits are harvested?" asked a person from the Yu family.

"Chunsheng, don't we have to spend money to buy these saplings?"

"Chunsheng, can we really have something to eat if we help plant these trees?"

Yu Chunsheng told the villagers one by one that these saplings were planted by a wealthy businessman, and they didn't need to occupy their fields. They only needed to be planted in places where people rarely planted food. Ten thousand saplings would take up more than 200 acres.

"Chunsheng, we all listen to you." A man in the Yu family who was about the same age as Yu Chunsheng said, "As long as we have food and drink and can survive, we will listen to you."

"Yes, Chunsheng, we all listen to you."

Not only other villagers with the surname Yu, but also Yu Chunsheng's brothers did not object. They all supported Yu Chunsheng.

Everyone even thought that since Yu Chunsheng could keep everyone alive and prevent everyone from starving to death, it would be fine for him to be the village chief.

Of course, the current village chief is still the original one, who is also Yu Chunsheng's family member, but the other party is now sixty years old, and he himself thinks that the next village chief can be Yu Chunsheng.

After Yu Chunsheng and the villagers had discussed it, everyone started to plant trees enthusiastically. Every day, Yu Xiaoguo brought back food and water from the hotel, and everyone was willing to do it.

"Dad, there is a severe drought here now. Can the trees we plant survive?" A young man in his early twenties asked his father while digging a hole with a hoe.

"Since Chunsheng said it can, we have to believe Chunsheng." His father said, "Besides, the rich businessman who asked us to plant trees is not a fool. He gave us so many seedlings, so much food and water, but asked us to plant trees that can't survive at all."

"Dad, do you think this tree can really grow fruit? Will the fruit be delicious?" The young man continued to ask.

"I don't know. Your father has never seen this kind of tree, and I don't know what kind of fruit it grows." His father said.

"I really hope to see these trees bear fruit soon."

"Well, I also hope to see that day."

The villagers of Yujia Village planted trees every day. There was enough food and water every day. Adults and children all joined in. It took several days to finally plant all 10,000 seedlings.

The planted seedlings only needed to be watered once a day. After two days of watering, they no longer needed to be watered. They looked at the lush trees and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Of course, it was a severe drought now. In order to survive, everyone even ate grass roots and bark, so the people of Yujia Village had to keep an eye on these seedlings and prevent people from other villages from coming to peel the bark or pull the leaves to eat.

After the thorns were planted, Chen Wenjiu also got the news. Now she had to think carefully about how to let the people of Yujia Village, or more people from Yu Xiaoguo's side, survive.

Of course, these things were definitely not something Chen Wenjiu could solve alone. She still found Li Zeping and others, and then contacted more experts to study this matter.

Yu Xiaoguo and his companions can arrange for people to go over to this dimension, so they have to ask if there are people willing to build a new countryside and develop socialism over there.
