Dressed as an old woman, I carry the system and my son to escape the famine
Chapter 14: Exchange medicine for food
Shen Nanshan didn't understand Yao Shu's behavior. Their family always only sent things out after extorting them from others. This was a first time.
"If you are asked to send it off, just go and send it off. There are so many words."
The distance between the two was not far, so Yao Shu heard his thoughts clearly and glared at Shen Nanshan.
But even so, Shen Nanshan was still not willing to make such a trip.
Giving away his own things to others is simply more uncomfortable for him than killing him. With how much stuff they have in total, how can they share it with others.
Seeing the old man acting like this, Yao Shu raised her eyebrows and finally explained.
"If you can't bear to part with these things, aren't you afraid of being missed by the Lord of Hell? Think about that oil pan. If someone walks in it..."
"Old lady, stop talking, I'll go right away."
Hearing her description like this, Shen Nanshan couldn't sit still at all. Just hearing it made people panic.
Seeing Shen Nanshan leaving in a hurry with the bag, Yao Shu's mouth curved upward. Fortunately, the Shen family was not hopeless.
At the other end of the cave, the village chief was crouching in the corner feeling worried. Everyone had encountered such a disaster, but he had no idea at all.
"village head."
Shen Nanshan shouted this, still more or less reluctant.
"What's wrong?"
The village chief raised his head and glanced at him, fearing that the Shen family would cause trouble again.
"this is for you."
Looking at Shen Nanshan's outstretched hand, the village chief couldn't help but widen his eyes. He looked at Shen Nanshan suspiciously. Did the sun come out from the west today?
He stood up and reached out to take the thing, but felt that Shen Nanshan didn't let go. He exerted another effort and finally got the bag into his hand.
"Is this herbal medicine?"
Seeing what was inside, the village chief said uncertainly.
He really didn't know these grasses, he was just guessing based on his feelings.
"Yes, it is an herbal medicine used to treat wind and cold. Our family members are cured after drinking this medicine."
Now that everything was in the hands of others, Shen Nanshan pretended to be extremely generous, as if this was his original intention.
"Brother Shan, thank you so much. You are the benefactor of our Dahe Village."
The village chief clearly saw Shen Nanshan's little thoughts, but he didn't care about it. No matter what, he got the truth, but he glanced in the direction of Yao Shu.
This doesn't look like Shen Nanshan's original intention.
The only one who could make Shen Nanshan do such a thing against his will was Yao Shu. Everyone in Dahe Village knew that Shen Nanshan was henpecked and she didn't dare to go west when Yao pointed to the east.
"I wonder how much water should be used to decoct this medicine? How much dosage should each person take?"
"This……"
The village chief's question stumped Shen Nanshan. How could he know this? He was not the one who made the medicine yesterday.
"I'll ask the old lady."
Shen Nanshan said sarcastically.
Seeing this, the village chief was not surprised at all and brought it up.
"Brother Shan, I'll go with you."
Yao Shu had been paying attention to Shen Nanshan and was not surprised to see him leading the village chief over.
Taking the initiative to give away the herbs was not in line with the Shen family's character. She had already guessed that the village chief would be suspicious. If she wanted to change the Shen family's image in the eyes of others, she had to take her time.
Therefore, after telling the village chief how to take the herbal medicine, she turned to the village chief.
"Village chief, these herbs can be of great help, right?"
"Exactly. Thank you sister-in-law and brother Shan for being willing to help us."
The village chief nodded. He always felt that something was wrong. Yao Shu's smile gave him a bad feeling. Sure enough, he heard the other party say it the next second.
"Well, our family's food stock is running low, and the children are still hungry."
Yao Shu looked at the village chief longingly. She took out so many herbs, so it's not too much to exchange for some food, right?
As for the Shen family's current food reserves, she felt panicked every time she thought about it. If they didn't find food in the future, they would have to run out of food, and they would only dare to eat half full every day.
Hearing her request, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that things were not that simple.
Yao Shu's request was not too much, so he nodded and agreed. If a person is really sick and may even die, there is no use holding food.
After the matter was settled, the village chief went to discuss with everyone. In these days, it is not ordinary difficult to get food from everyone.
"Old lady, you were so considerate that you brought food to our family again."
Shen Nanshan approached Yao Shu and said excitedly.
Yao Shu was too lazy to respond to this. She just couldn't do it while holding medicine in her hand and watching others die of illness.
Not long after, the village chief gave Yao Shu a bag of grain. Because the grain went into the pockets of the Shen family, everyone stared at their house several times.
Even if they got the medicine, they didn't have much gratitude to the Shen family. They had to pay for it with food.
Everyone repaired in the cave for a day, and the next day after taking the medicine, everyone was almost recovered. Now that they had recovered, it was time to set off to escape again.
There is not enough food in this place for them to survive. They have only been here for two days, and almost all the food around them has been looted.
The village chief is now in a dilemma. He is a little confused about where to go next and is discussing with several elders in the village.
But they were not familiar with the surrounding area, and they didn't discuss the reason.
The cave was only such a big place. Yao Shu couldn't help but get interested after hearing their conversation. She thought about it and got up and walked over.
"Village chief, how about we go north?"
"We are discussing business. Why are you, a woman, interfering in this? Shen Nanshan, why don't you take care of your wife?"
A clan elder who had long disliked Yao's style scolded.
It's normal for others to dislike the original owner's temperament of running around and blackmailing others.
Yao Shu didn't take it seriously when she heard this. She had already experienced how unpopular the original owner was, but she still had to say serious things.
"I went north the day before yesterday and saw a lot of food."
She wanted to go back to the paradise she had discovered before, but she didn't want to break away from Dahezhuang's team, so she came to convince the village chief. Furthermore, she also wanted to improve the Shen family's reputation in the village.
It's really not good to feel rejected by others wherever you go, especially in the process of escaping. Being ostracized by the group is extremely dangerous.
As soon as they heard the word "food", everyone's attitude changed instantly.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Is there really food in the north?"
In just a short time, everyone surrounded Yao Shu, waiting for her to give her the answer they were waiting for, including the village chief.
