Chapter 64 Wei Qiuying

Chen Tianyou said: "We plan to go to Qing'an Shelter, which is not far from here and can be reached within a day. Do you see the army behind me? That is the army of the governor of Qing'an Shelter. There will be no Yingjiang Shelter in the future, only Qing'an Shelter."

Hearing this, Zhao Tai looked at the army behind Chen Tianyou, with a thoughtful look on his face.

It seems that something did happen in Yingjiang Shelter. To put it nicely, it joined Qing'an Shelter. What is the truth, Zhao Tai also guessed, it is obvious that Yingjiang Shelter was occupied and ruled by other shelters.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, Zhao Tai said puzzledly: "Your Yingjiang Shelter's military strength is not small, how could you lose to those guys in armor? Are the rifles in your hands fire sticks? And that bastard Sun Gaowu, why don't you see him, is he dead?"

With a bitter smile on his face, Chen Tianyou shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about these things. Sun Gaowu is still alive, just injured. He is fine. The reason I am standing here is that the governor wants me to talk to you."

Talk?

Looking at Chen Tianyou, Zhao Tai asked curiously: "What does he want to talk to us about? Let's make it clear first, we don't buy into surrender or anything like that. We are not interested in invading others, nor are we interested in being ruled by others. If you want to talk about these things, then don't talk about it. The road on the river is so wide, you go your way, we go our way, and we don't interfere with each other."

Shaking his head, Chen Tianyou's expression was calm, and he said: "Of course I don't want you to surrender. You probably haven't found a place to stay. The governor said that the Qing'an Shelter can temporarily accommodate you and leave after finding a suitable place. However, the governor has put forward a condition."

Condition?

With a thoughtful look on his face, Zhao Tai pondered and said: "Tell me..."

They do need a place to stay. After all, there are thousands of people. If they don't find a place to stay before dark, I don't know how many people will be frozen to death when they wake up tomorrow.

If there is a place to stay, the new home can be found slowly, so that the loss of personnel will not be too great.

Chen Tianyou said: "This condition is not excessive. The Governor knows that you have the habit of planting, so the Governor wants some seeds, seeds of crops."

Seeds?

His expression changed for a while, and Zhao Tai thought quickly in his heart.

They do have seeds, and they are not too precious, at least in his opinion.

All along, Zhao Tai felt that those crop seeds were a bit useless. They finally matured, but they couldn't be eaten, so they had to be kept as seeds. After decades of planting, the seeds not only did not increase, but became less and less, and the probability of seed survival was getting lower and lower.

Thinking of this, Zhao Tai turned to his men behind him and said: "Go call Wei Qiuying, by the way, don't forget to ask her to bring the seeds."

"Yes..."

One of Zhao Tai's men responded, then turned and walked quickly towards the crowd behind.

At this time, the migrating group behind them was very close to them, and there was still a distance of hundreds of meters.

After a while, Zhao Tai's men who left came over with a woman.

The woman was wearing a cyan down jacket, a scarf around her neck, and a large package on her back.

The package was large, but it didn't seem very heavy, otherwise, she, a woman, couldn't walk.

"Director, are you looking for me?"

Wei Qiuying only showed one eye, looked at the soldiers in armor in front of her, a flash of surprise in her eyes, and asked.

"This..."

Zhao Tai said solemnly, "Wei Qiuying, for the safety of these thousands of people, we can only pay some necessary prices. I know that the seeds in your hands are the result of the efforts of three generations of your grandparents and grandchildren, but now, I need the seeds in your hands, just take out half, I have a lot of use."

Seeds?

With a calm expression on her face, Wei Qiuying threw the package on her back on the snow and said calmly, "It's all here, take it all..."

Looking at Wei Qiuying and then at the package on the snow, Zhao Tai looked stunned, a little unbelievable.

Did Wei Qiuying give up so quickly?

If someone had tried to take her seeds in the past, she would have made a scene, but not today.

With a shy smile, Zhao Tai said cautiously: "Not all, half, no, just a small part."

Giving Zhao Tai a blank look, Wei Qiuying said calmly: "Don't be surprised, these seeds are already very difficult to survive. Without electricity, without the sun, without photosynthesis, it is not possible to rely on firelight alone. The seeds have become fewer and fewer in recent years. If they continue to stay here, they will only mold and rot. In the end, grandma's dream is just some unrealistic fantasy."

Hearing this, Zhao Tai was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

More than ten years ago, the three generations of Wei Qiuying's grandparents and grandchildren in the shelter could occasionally taste fresh vegetables, but for some reason in recent years, the survival rate of seeds is less than one-tenth, and even maintaining the number of seeds has become a luxury.

Without saying anything more, Zhao Tai picked up the package on the snow and stuffed it into Chen Tianyou's arms, saying, "All of them are for you. If your governor can make these seeds take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit, don't be too stingy. Don't forget to give us some seeds when the time comes."

Looking at the seeds in his arms, and then looking at Wei Qiuying who was hesitant to speak beside Zhao Tai, Chen Tianyou said nothing more and turned away.

The seeds were in hand, which meant that Director Zhao Tai had accepted the Governor's proposal.

This was good, and the task of contacting Director Zhao Tai was also completed.

"Sir, the seeds were in hand, and they accepted the Governor's proposal..."

Chen Tianyou was just a hundred meters away. Although he didn't know what the two said, when Li Meng saw Chen Tianyou taking the package from Zhao Tai, he knew that the seeds were done.

Suppressing his inner joy, Li Meng took the package from Chen Tianyou.

As soon as he got it, Li Meng felt the heaviness of the package, which was good, indicating that there were many seeds inside...

Carefully tying the package behind his back, Li Meng took a deep breath, looked at Chen Tianyou in front of him, and said, "You did a good job, let's go, the main force has gone far..."

With Li Meng's order, the army that stayed on the snow continued to set off and chased the migrating team that had gone far ahead.

A hundred meters behind the army was the guards of the Daguan Shelter, and further behind was the people migrating from the Daguan Shelter. Looking down from the sky, one could see a spectacle on the endless river.

On the river that stretched for several kilometers, long teams could be seen everywhere, like winding black dragons winding forward on the river.
