Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"How are you?"

Looking at the young girl who was distracted again, Lian Yunxi touched his nose a little uncomfortably.

He didn't expect that the leader of this team was actually a woman, and a girl so young at that.

"what!"

Ye Chu came back to his senses from his dream and slapped himself hard.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you. I was thinking about something else just now and was a little absent-minded. Why don't we talk about staying in your village now?"

"Do you mean what you say?"

Lian Yunxi poked his head out from behind her and looked her up and down, his eyes full of distrust.

Du Jiayi, who had been hiding behind and observing them, suddenly felt that he had a chance to show his skills and broke free directly, but his father grabbed his hand.

"Of course our young lady's words count. This is our young lady, a county magistrate with a legitimate status."

After Du Jiayi finished speaking, he raised his head proudly.

But he didn't notice the change in the expressions of the people from Lianshan Village.

"I didn't expect Miss Ye to be a government official. We are so sorry for that." Lian Yunxi's attitude became noticeably colder.

Ye Chuyi looked up in confusion and saw the undisguised disgust on the face of the villager behind him.

"Village leader, why are you still talking so much to them? Our village is small and cannot accommodate big Buddhas like them. You should quickly invite them back."

"Yes, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and we are all waiting to go home for dinner."

……

As the first shout rang out, more and more people began to speak, but without exception, everyone's tone revealed reluctance.

"Master Lian, did something happen in the village? Why did it suddenly become unbearable? Didn't we just agree on this?"

Wang Chengde's tone was somewhat cautious.

They had finally come here, and if they were not even allowed into the village, then he would have messed up everything and would be too sorry to the young lady.

"I'm sorry, but there really is a reason. County Magistrate Ye, why don't you look for another place? Our village is really too small."

Although he said so, Ye Chuyi already sensed the intention of leaving from his tone.

All these changes seemed to have started when they heard about his identity as county magistrate.

"Does the village leader have any concerns?"

Ye Chuyi looked around again. Perhaps because they had been confronting each other for too long, the people hiding above were obviously making noises.

Some black arrows have begun to emerge from the bushes, which can be said to be open and aboveboard.

"You are joking, County Governor. We are all ordinary people in our village. It is raining too hard now. The houses in the village are built too low. I am afraid they have all been flooded. There is really no place for you to live. County Governor, please be magnanimous and don't make a fuss with us."

Lian Yunxi originally just wanted to make up an excuse to trick Ye Chuyi and the others away, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a figure ran towards the direction of the village.

"Village leader, something bad has happened. You should go back and take a look. Grandma Jiu's house has been flooded. The thatched cottage has collapsed. Grandma Jiu is still in the house and hasn't come out yet..."

"Whose house did you say was flooded?"

Lian Yunxi's heart suddenly tightened.

The man took a deep breath and held his knees for a long time before he straightened up.

"It's Grandma Jiu's house. Grandma Jiu is still in the house. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and make a decision."

"What's your idea? Go and save people."

Lian Yunxi was so angry that he slapped the man in the face.

The house was flooded, and instead of rescuing the people, they were still thinking of asking him to go back and make the decision. I really don't know what to say to them.

"Village leader, we have already started the rescue. Isn't this asking you to decide where to place Grandma Jiu?"

Lian Yunshan looked at the village chief with grievance. Their village chief was too cruel. He felt like his head was buzzing.

"Okay, go back quickly."

Lian Yunxi glared at him unhappily, then turned around and started to walk into the village.

"Village leader, what should they do?"

Lian Yunshan looked at Ye Chuyi and the others curiously. He had heard a long time ago that someone wanted to stay temporarily in their village. Could it be this group of people?

Why didn’t the village chief invite them in together?

Lian Yunxi suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Chuyi apologetically, "County Magistrate Ye has also seen that something happened in our village and our house was indeed flooded. We really don't have any extra places for you to stay. You should find another place."

"You are too polite, Village Chief. We are not hypocritical people. We have lived in mountains and wilderness before. How can we find money a small problem?"

Ye Chuyi didn't respond to him at all, but just looked at him with a smile.

"It just so happens that something has happened in your village right now. We are all willing to help others. Why don't we stay and help you rescue the villagers trapped in their homes? What do you think, Village Chief Lian?"

Lian Yunxi's mouth twitched when he heard this. He had never seen such a shameless person.

"You are joking, County Governor. How dare you trouble us to do it? We are enough."

Lian Yunshan couldn't help feeling anxious as he watched the two of them chat endlessly.

"Village leader, please go back and save people. Since this lady wants to help, let's thank her and go back quickly!"

Hearing Lian Yunshan's words, Ye Chuyi's heart was filled with joy.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

This is indeed true.

As expected, Lian Yunxi's face turned cold in an instant. If looks could kill, Lian Yunshan would have been stabbed by his village chief.

Ye Chuyi added fuel to the fire at the appropriate time.

"I think what this little brother said is very right. We are happy to help you. Even the village chief should not be polite."

"Then I really have to thank you, County Magistrate Ye."

Lian Yunxi spoke each word with great emphasis, gritting his teeth.

Ye Chuyi pretended not to see it, "Okay, okay, let's go in quickly. It will be too late if we go back. It would be bad if someone died."

After saying that, Ye Chuyi stepped over the human wall first.

Even the men from the mountain village looked at her as if they wanted to eat her.

"Don't worry, Lian Village Master. We are truly kindhearted people. We don't charge any reward for saving people. On the contrary, I will give you all the conditions we agreed on before. We will definitely not let Lian Village suffer any loss."

Ye Chuyi turned the tables and played the game very skillfully.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Ye."

Lian Yunxi silently took a few steps away from her.

Ye Chuyi suppressed his laughter and cleared his throat, "Don't be polite, Village Chief. I just bought an identity card by chance. I am not a real official. The title of county magistrate is just a nice title given by others. It is really not worthy of being called on the stage."
