Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

The next day, Xuyuan got up early in the morning, observed the surroundings, and exchanged them for a real-life map of this Feng Shui treasure land.

You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it. We have already left the territory of South City.

It takes five days to get back to the south city. There is a small town and a village nearby.

This place is remote and deep in the mountains, and few people dare to set foot here. It still takes two hours to walk from here to the small town.

Xu Yuan didn't want to delay, so he pulled some vines and started weaving a simple vine basket.

Gu Qinghan was also helping on the side. Xu Yuan looked at the well-made basket in Gu Qinghan's hand.

Not bad. I thought he was just someone who could read and do martial arts, but I didn’t expect he could do this.

The two of them each made a large basket half a person's height. It didn't look exquisite but was usable.

It would be nice to have a knife, and it would be even better to weave bamboo.

The two picked a full basket of lychees. What a pity! If they hadn't come here by accident, these lychees would have been eaten by birds, and most of them would have fallen to the ground and rotted.

Oh, what a waste.

But it doesn’t matter, this place won’t be wasted in the future.

There are mountains, water, land, and in the future there will be a village.

Make a wish and have a beautiful dream.

They worked faster and soon their baskets were filled with fruits.

"Let's go."

Xu Yuan followed the instructions on the real-life map and came to a cave entrance hidden by vines. He opened the vines and walked in.

The entrance to the cave was not big and was a bit deep, so two people could walk side by side. There were weeds all over the entrance, so two people were knocking with sticks on the left and right to prevent snakes from appearing.

After walking for a while, the weeds gradually disappeared and the light became much brighter.

The branches of the trees drooped down, and the breeze blew gently. I came out of the cave, which was hidden in the weeds. There was a stream not far away. The water was shallow and clear. Pebbles were spread in the river, which flowed slowly. There were some flocks of birds resting nearby and drinking water.

nice view!

……

In the evening, when the sun was setting, the two arrived at a small town. There were not many people on the street.

Both of them had no money, so they could only find a corner to camp outside for the night, planning to sell some lychees and rent a car to go back tomorrow morning.

……

Nancheng

After rescuing the victims, everyone gathered some food and, after everyone had their fill, they began to say goodbye.

Some villagers also came to ask Village Chief Gu about his plan and whether he wanted to go together, but Village Chief Gu refused, saying that he was still waiting for someone.

Some villagers wanted to join the team of Village Chief Gu and planned to go together. Village Chief Gu had also been dealing with these people recently and had good intentions, so he agreed, but he also had requirements and had to obey the arrangements.

They also responded generously.

Village Chief Gu planned to stay here for a week. After all, his son had informed him when he left. If he didn't come back after a week, he could leave a mark and leave.

South City was deserted, with collapsed houses and cracked roads everywhere. It was impossible to live here. Large tracts of farmland had been destroyed. Looking around, there was no good land in South City. It would take a long time to clean up. There was no food to be found here, so we had to find another place.

I heard that there is a town nearby called Lin'an City, as well as a village and several hamlets.

Village Chief Gu plans to visit the village, but he definitely won't consider the town since there is no land there.

There is still five days of journey ahead, alas.

Times are tough.

……

Lin'an City

The streets are bustling with people, and there are many stalls and vendors, all of whom are enthusiastically soliciting customers.

"I heard that there's a dragon rising up in the south city!"

"No way, there's no movement here!"

"Really? My uncle's relative's friend's brother just fled back from there with his whole family. When he got home, he was almost kicked out. The whole family was covered in dust, like beggars. I thought they were beggars from nowhere."

"Wow, that means Lin'an City might be very busy recently. After all, South City is not far from us."

"Boss, how much is the meat? I want this piece to be a little fatter." Soon an old lady came to the stall, and the vendor who was still chatting immediately shut up and started entertaining the customer.

Xu Yuan and Gu Qinghan were also listening on the side. A woman who was wandering around was suddenly attracted by Gu Qinghan's eye-catching appearance.

I was surprised to see the red fruits in the basket.

Pointing at the fruit in the basket, he asked, "Young Master, what kind of fruit do you have and how much do you sell it for?"

Seeing that the visitor's eyes were about to stare at Gu Qinghan to tears, Gu Qinghan felt uncomfortable all over and didn't want to deal with it. He pointed at Xu Yuan beside him and lowered his head to put out the fruits.

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes at Gu Qinghan. What a waste of face, is the mouth just for show? Not wanting to lose the customer who came to his door, he quickly replied. "I'm sorry, my cousin doesn't like to talk. Sister-in-law, these are lychees. We picked them from the mountains. They are rare. We buy them by the number. Five for three cents."

Xu Yuan picked up a fruit, peeled off the shell and handed it to the woman. The woman looked at the white flesh and swallowed unconsciously. She quickly took it and tasted it, and her eyes lit up.

"Pack this pile for me. I want it. How much is it?"

I took a quick look at the wishes and saw that there were about a hundred of them.

"Sister-in-law, sixty cents, one lychee is three fires, I suggest you don't eat too much at one time."

The woman nodded, took out the paper bag from her arms, counted to sixty, and handed it to Xuyuan.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Take care." Xu Yuan took the copper coin and said goodbye to his sister-in-law.

After the eldest sister-in-law left, some guests came here and there. Some of them looked at a few people, asked for three cents, waved their hands and left.

Gu Qinghan was no longer at the stall at this time. Xu Yuan asked him to find out if there was a place nearby that could rent a donkey cart. He definitely couldn't afford to rent a horse carriage or an ox cart, so it was better not to ask.

The number of people on the street gradually decreased. I earned 120 copper coins today. There are still rich people in Lin'an City. Xu Yuan saw Gu Qinghan coming, so he picked up the remaining lychees and put them back in the basket. He picked up the empty basket next to him and went to the bun shop next to him. The steamed buns were one cent each, the vegetable buns were two cents, and the meat buns were three cents.

I had money in my pocket, so I didn't have to worry about food and drink. I bought twenty steamed buns and two meat buns to try. That was it. I had twenty coins left.

Gu Qinghan came over and took the basket from Xu Yuan's hand, and brought Xu Yuan to the car rental place.

Xu Yuan learned from Gu Qinghan that the rental of a donkey cart was charged by the day, five cents a day, and the driver's food and lodging were not included.

Xu Yuan thought the price was right, so he agreed. He signed his name and put his fingerprints on it. He estimated the fare and had more than 80 cents left. They split 60 cents between them, bought steamed buns for 26 cents and split the car rental fee. Then Xu Yuan took out half of the remaining copper coins and handed them to Gu Qinghan.

Gu Qinghan was puzzled and looked at Xu Yuan.

"Take it. You also have a share of the fruit. I don't want to take advantage of you for nothing."

Seeing that Gu Qinghan refused, Xu Yuan took advantage of his unpreparedness and forced the coin into Gu Qinghan's hand and closed it.

He no longer paid any attention to Gu Qinghan.

This was the first time in Gu Qinghan’s life that he saw someone using tough tactics.

What a lot of strength this girl has!
