Chapter 132: The sister of childhood friend in the novel (36)
As soon as Li Na arrived at the farm, she saw the old farm manager Zhang Wang and Su Guoan discussing something. Without saying a word, she walked over and said, "Uncle Zhang, according to the grain reserves at the forest farm, how many days will it take for the food to run out?"
Su Guoan wanted to answer, but was stopped by a cold look from his wife. Seeing her looking at him with disgust, he couldn't say a word.
"It's estimated to be only five days." Zhang Wang knew that it was useless to speak for either side, the most important thing was to deal with the problem, "We have confirmed with the forest farm, and now only Su Xingchen and Gu Huanzhi are left there.
According to the food reserves, if they had discovered earlier that the supplies were not coming and had been frugal, there wouldn’t have been much of a problem.”
"I know my son." Li Na's words were somewhat sad. "He may not be frugal, not to mention the kid from the Gu family. He would rather eat less than let my son go hungry."
When Su Xiangran came to deliver the cotton-padded jacket, she happened to hear these words: Haha, Mom, now is really not a good time to complain about your son.
"We have already loaded the supplies to be sent to the forest farm onto the truck, and the forest farm will arrange for someone to come over shortly." Su Guoan explained, "I will follow the convoy up the mountain and personally deliver the supplies to them."
Li Na looked at Su Guoan and still felt that she and her husband had nothing to say to each other.
If he hadn't insisted on coming back, his son wouldn't have followed Gu Huanzhi to the forest farm just to have a full meal.
Yes, Li Na knew from the beginning that her son was not living well here, and he didn't really want to go to the forest farm, but he and the boy from the Gu family could reduce the family's food expenses, and he could also have enough to eat.
"What's the point of saying this now?" Li Na thought for a moment and finally spoke, "Stardust has been out of food for five days. This is human life! Your son and your chief's son are trapped up there.
If something really happens, I will feel bad for my son, but how will I explain it to the Gu family?"
Zhang Wang had also been listening on the side. When he heard Li Na mention the Gu family, a chill began to run down his back.
"Director Su, the people from the forest farm are here." Someone was heard saying at this time.
"Because of what Director Su did, most of the people in our forest farm have had their holidays. But don't worry, we will definitely send the supplies up no matter what." The leader of the forest farm certainly knew that it was this man's son who was trapped.
Su Guoan looked at the people sent by the forest farm - two old men wearing sheepskin coats.
The forest farm staff was a little embarrassed, but explained: "Director Su, don't look at your age, but they are good at finding the way. Now the road is blocked by snow, and it's white everywhere.
If an inexperienced person goes up there, not only will he fail to save people, he will also get himself into trouble."
"I'll go." Wang Xiangbei stepped forward. "I'll go with the veterans. I'll take Xiaobai up the mountain with me. He can avoid wolves. I've learned how to recognize roads with the mountain folks before."
"Xiangbei, Auntie, thank you!" Li Na choked up a little, "But you are still young, Auntie can't hurt you."
"Mom, please let Brother Xiangbei go!" Su Xiangran rarely spoke, "He knows how to survive in the mountains better than anyone else."
Li Na and Su Guoan were shocked by their daughter's words.
Su Xiangran held Wang Xiangbei's hand and said firmly, "Xiangbei, I believe you can deliver the supplies, and I believe you can come back safely. You won't let me down, right?"
Wang Xiangbei nodded: "I will go back to get my things and pick up Xiaobai now."
Su Xiangran didn't say anything, but followed him out of the farm and back to the Su family, then brought the essential oil of the beast grass that she had made earlier, as well as the oil cakes made from tea seeds that she had saved, to Wang Xiangbei.
In addition, Su Xiangran also took out a lot of dry food that was easy to store and did not take up space, packed them all, taught him how to eat them, and then went back to the farm with him.
Su Guoan finally chose to go up the mountain with everyone to deliver supplies. If he didn't go, it would be even more difficult for him to explain if something really happened.
In this way, a group of people began their journey up the mountain.
Mountain Forest Farm
Five days ago, Su Xingchen and Gu Huanzhi had run out of food. In fact, once mid-December had passed, they realized that it was too late for resupply.
Su Xingchen had the experiences of his previous two lives and was very frightened. He was afraid that the tragedy would happen again, so he deliberately reduced his food intake.
But his actions were soon discovered by Gu Huanzhi.
Gu Huanzhi kept comforting him, telling him not to worry, that the supplies would surely arrive soon, but it was almost the New Year and they were short of manpower so the supplies would arrive late.
With only a few days left in December, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and there was no sign of the supply team, making Su Xingchen more and more uneasy.
In their previous life, they had run out of food. Su Xingchen was not afraid of hunger, but he was afraid that if Gu Huanzhi died in the mouth of a wolf again while trying to find food for him, what would he do?
"What are you thinking about!" Gu Huanzhi brought Su Xingchen a bowl of hot soup noodles.
Su Xingchen felt a little nauseous when he smelled the smell.
This was the fourth day that they had been out of food. Actually, it was not completely out of food, because in the small cellar of his house there were some food that he had stored, as well as the life-saving dry food that Su Xiangran had prepared for him.
It’s just that these things have been stored for a long time, so the taste is bound to be a little bad.
"I know this tastes terrible, but we still have to eat it." Gu Huanzhi picked up the bowl and prepared to feed Su Xingchen.
Su Xingchen didn't open his mouth, but took the bowl from his hand and negotiated with Gu Huanzhi: "No matter how bad it tastes, I will eat it, but you have to promise me that even if I starve to death in front of you, you will not risk going out to find food."
Gu Huanzhi was slightly stunned. He could not agree with Su Xingchen's words. If the day really came when he was at his wit's end, he would definitely go out and take risks in order to keep the two of them alive.
