Mai Zi's Tale of Stockpiling Supplies to Flee Famine in Ancient Times

This is an age when people eat one another. Mai Zi's gaunt face is marked by heavy bags beneath her wide-open eyes, and her lips are so dry that they crack and peel. Years of going hungry leave her body weak and often drained. Maybe she should sing a folk song, like Little Cabbage. But her life is even harder than Little Cabbage's: in this world, there is no such thing as cabbage, only wild roots. As for millet and other good things, those are for the rich and powerful. The village girls can afford only one meal a day: beans soaked in water, also called shu. The beans are sour and bitter, but Mai Zi's stomach can still handle them. A great drought is coming. According to Mai Zi's memories, in two or three months the villagers will have to flee in search of food. The riverbed is already nearly exposed, with only a stream's worth of water flowing through it. In another month, the village well will dry up. Mai Zi wants to survive. Even though life in this world is hard and her stomach cramps with hunger, she is lucky to have a rental-room space measuring eight square meters. There's nothing in it, but having it means she might be able to stay alive. The early part is about escaping, the later part about development and construction, with a sea voyage arc in between.
