Chapter 285 My Mind Is in Turmoil
Fusu couldn't help but pray that the heavens would stop the snow.
If it continues downhill, all the food and supplies it brought will be used up. Then what will it use to provide disaster relief?
People came, but all the supplies were gone. Doesn't that mean they did nothing? Then this trip was a waste.
We currently have no way to deliver the supplies to the affected families, so we can only wait.
Fu Su thought to himself, somewhat resentfully, that it couldn't keep going on like this forever.
There will always be a time when they need to stop, and they will wait until that time to act again.
They simply lacked experience in university; they could have brought plenty of tents.
Anyway, there are still many tents in the military camp. They are not a large army, and the number of people who set off is not as large as expected.
Let's borrow those tents first; at least they can keep us warm.
Looking at the grain and firewood in his hands, Fusu became even more worried.
Perhaps he shouldn't have been in such a hurry to leave Xianyang Palace and come here. Once here, it would have been even more difficult to raise funds because the university had blocked the roads.
If there were no blockages, it could also collect supplies from wealthy families in the city and give them some benefits.
But the roads are blocked, and everything is just wishful thinking.
We can only take any action after the snow stops.
Upon hearing Fusu's instructions, General Chen immediately ordered the Prime Minister to stop shoveling snow.
He did not leave Fusu's side, but simply handed over the order to his subordinates.
The soldiers were overjoyed when they learned that they would finally no longer have to fight the snow.
Working non-stop is tiring. Although the snow is light, each shovelful still has some weight to it, and we keep working.
This was even more physically demanding. Now, finally, they didn't have to do it anymore. They all put down their tools, their faces red from the cold.
Even though their faces and hands were freezing, they were still very happy because they didn't have to work.
Although they were soldiers and had better physical strength than ordinary people, they still couldn't withstand such a large amount of exertion.
In addition, they hadn't eaten their fill at each meal, so they were feeling not only tired but also hungry.
My stomach was making a thunderous sound.
But no one dared to suggest to the general that they start cooking now, since it was still early and food was limited, and they were given fixed portions at fixed times each day.
They only cook one meal a day, and in the afternoon it's just hard flatbread to eat with hot water. If they can drink hot water, they're already quite content.
Fusu used firewood to boil water for them because he didn't want them to collapse from drinking cold water. In this weather, one must be in very good physical condition to drink cold water.
Otherwise, it's easy to catch a cold, and in this day and age, a cold can be fatal.
Fusu naturally heard the rumbling of the stomachs, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The food consumption is simply too great; if we were to eat one more meal, the number of people would be astronomical.
The soldiers knew this, so they could only tighten their belts and drink a sip or two of hot water if they felt really hungry, just to fill their stomachs.
Although we can't push it, we'll be fine once that initial shock passes.
Modern people drink plenty of water before each meal to lose weight and control their weight. It's hard to imagine that people in ancient times also drank water to stave off hunger.
