Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Those are not refugees. You can tell at a glance that they came prepared. They are either bandits or refugees."

As the voice began to speak, a tall and straight man slowly walked out from the crowd.

stranger.

Ye Chuyi looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly, and looking at the aura around him, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

"I have never seen this brother before. Is he also one of your fellow yamen runners?"

Ye Chuyi chatted with Liu Dachui very casually, as if he was just asking a casual question.

Liu Dachui quickly shook his head, "This is the leader of our mission. All of us must obey his orders."

After saying that, Liu Dachui smiled at the man in a friendly manner, then when the man wasn't paying attention, he quickly moved closer to Ye Chuyi and spoke in a low voice.

"I heard that this person is an official in the palace, and we can't mess with him casually."

Ye Chuyi nodded in understanding, fearing that it was not just as simple as just being an official.

"So what do you mean by having something to talk about?"

The man did not speak, but stood quietly at the front of the crowd, looking at Ye Chuyi.

Ye Chuyi was not afraid of his gaze. When he looked at her, she looked back at him.

[Host, you still have tasks to complete. You can't waste your time on things like this. Go and complete the tasks to get the rewards!]

[If you don’t complete the mission now, this mission will fail, sob.]

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's just a task, right? There's no deadline. It doesn't matter when I do it. I just need to get it done."

Ye Chuyi didn't care about Baizai's urging at all.

Really, the thing hiding in the dark is not in a hurry at all, so I don’t know why a small system like it should be in a hurry.

At this moment, the small system was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. It crawled tremblingly in front of its own main god, and did not dare to look at the man's expression at all.

"Little thing, after such a long time, you still haven't made any progress. I am really disappointed."

The man rubbed the white cub's soft white fur and murmured in a deep voice. The temperature in the system space seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

"I really didn't mean it. I was completing my mission well. I will definitely communicate with my uncle, wuwuwu..."

The white cub curled himself up into a ball pitifully.

"Haha, it seems like you can't handle her. Why don't I go and help you?"

"what?"

Baizai raised his head in confusion. His little brain couldn’t understand how the Lord God could help him.

"Go to sleep, my stupidest child."

The man did not respond to its gaze, but continued to whisper in a deep voice. His voice seemed to carry some kind of magic and reached directly into the depths of Baizai's sea of ​​consciousness.

"I'm so sleepy." Baizai closed his eyes in a daze, and his consciousness fell into darkness in an instant.

"My dear host, I am really looking forward to meeting you for the first time."

The man's voice was as soft as the wind and was blown away.

Ye Chuyi shuddered involuntarily, feeling as if he was being stared at by something.

She didn't want to look at the traveling caravan again.

Lian Yunxi was talking to the man who was said to be the leader of the team and didn't seem to be looking at her.

"It's really weird."

"What's so strange? Is something going to happen?"

Liu Dachui came over very quickly, rubbing his hands with a smile on his face.

It's good that something big is about to happen. Doesn't it mean that his chance to make a contribution has come again? Maybe he can even get a government position, which will really bring honor to his family.

Just thinking about it makes me happy.

What he was thinking was written directly on his face, and Ye Chuyi slapped him in annoyance.

"Old Liu, what are you thinking about? There are not so many opportunities to make contributions waiting for you every day. The only way is to work honestly."

"Hey, Miss Ye, we know you are a capable person, and we will definitely be right if we follow you."

Liu Dachui was not annoyed at all. Instead, he felt happy because Ye Chuyi remembered his name.

From now on, he will be a well-known figure in front of Miss Ye.

[The host is detected to be passive in facing the task, and the task penalty is being extracted.]

[Extraction completed. This time, the punishment mechanism is implemented. The host's multiple bad behaviors are now punished. The punishment intensity is S-level. Please take this as a warning, do more good things, help others and actively do good.]

Along with the mechanical sound of the system, there was also a crackling sound of electricity, but this time I didn't feel anything physically.

"it's over?"

Ye Chuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. The announcement of a punishment mechanism seemed quite grand, but this was the result?

It's really like much thunder but little rain.

However, there was no response from the system.

In front of her, a snow-white, long-haired dog squatted gracefully on the ground, just staring at her quietly.

"Bai Zai, don't blindly follow your leader. What you have now is not what a good system should be like."

Ye Chuyi casually criticized the dog and then paid no more attention to it.

"Miss, we have already negotiated. They still have some food in their team that they can sell to us at a low price, but they want to rest with us. I need your advice."

Lian Yunxi's voice was still as cold as water.

I've seen him for so many days, but I don't seem to have seen any changes in him.

Ye Chuyi really admired his psychological quality.

"Isn't the merchant team in a hurry to continue our journey? We don't plan to continue our journey these days, for fear that we might encounter any inconvenience and delay your business."

Ye Chuyi spoke perfunctorily and skillfully.

Resting with them was simply a joke, she was still looking forward to going back to Lianshan Village to sleep in her bed at night!

Although the new bed that Uncle Wang and the others made was a bit crude, it was much more comfortable than sleeping directly on the floor, and she didn't want to suffer for no reason.

"It's okay. We can take a rest these few days."

The man with the most say in the traveling merchant group spoke directly and made his final decision. Like Lian Yunxi, he was calm and composed, but very annoying.

"That's really nice."

Ye Chuyi almost uttered these words with gritted teeth.

"In that case, let's first take care of the food issue. Once everything is arranged, we can talk about accommodation for the night."

"Of course, please, County Magistrate Ye."

The man still had no expression on his face, but he moved slightly to make way.

"I wonder what this gentleman means?"

Ye Chuyi raised his chin and gestured in the direction of the empty carriage.

She really couldn't figure out what this inexplicable man was thinking.

The man seemed not to have heard the question. He just stood there quietly without saying a word, like an emotionless background board.

The corners of Ye Chuyi's mouth twitched violently. It was quite outrageous.

"County Magistrate Ye, please follow me."
