Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Lian Yunxi and the others were about to leave, Ye Chuyi hurriedly asked.

She came here for something, and she can't let anyone run away like that.

"We are going up the mountain today. Miss, do you want to come with us?"

The enthusiastic voices of the men were immediately heard from the crowd.

Ye Chuyi looked at the sky with some confusion, "It's getting late, why are you thinking of going to the mountain at this time?"

"There's nothing to do in the afternoon. There's food in the village now, so we want to go to the mountain to see if we can hunt some game and bring it back for a snack."

Lian Yunxi said in a light tone.

In fact, they just went to the mountains to try their luck. They had no idea how many times they had gone to the mountains since the beginning of the famine. Even if there were any prey now, they should be hidden deep in the mountains.

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Ye Chuyi nodded in agreement.

Although there was still some meat in her space, she had not eaten it since she arrived at Lianshan Village in order not to be so conspicuous.

Speaking of meat, she felt a little greedy.

"Since you want to go to the mountain to have a look, why not make a good plan and organize more people to go together? Maybe we can really bring back some prey. What do you think, village chief?"

Ye Chuyi looked at him with a smile, almost telling him clearly and directly.

I'm busy now. Please wait until I'm free and we can go together.

Lian Yunxi seemed to have seen through her thoughts, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, "Miss, is there something wrong?"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Ye Chuyi nodded quickly, looking like he finally asked.

Lian Yunxi was very upset.

It's really speechless. She obviously has something on her own, but she insists on being asked before she tells anyone.

"I wonder what's wrong, young lady? What can we do for you?"

Lian Yunxi was just being polite, but he didn't expect Ye Chuyi to grab his hand with sparkling eyes.

"Yeah."

Ye Chu clapped a few times as he spoke.

Lian Yunxi subconsciously broke free.

"Just say it, miss."

When Ye Chuyi heard Lian Yunxi's tone turn a little colder, he suddenly realized what he had done.

He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, I was too excited and didn't pay attention. Don't take it to heart, village chief."

Lian Yunxi stiffened for a moment and hummed a barely perceptible nasal sound, "Hmm."

"Ahem, well, actually I just want to ask the village chief about the situation of Lianshan Village, preferably in more detail. It may take some time, I wonder if the village chief is available now?"

"Do you know the situation of Lianshan Village?"

Lian Yunxi frowned slightly, and the discomfort he had just felt disappeared. Instead, he looked at Ye Chuyi with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"I wonder what Miss Ye wants to do?"

Although she had just brought back a lot of food for the village, he would never let her go if she wanted to do something to harm the village.

When Ye Chuyi realized that he was misunderstood, he quickly explained.

"I don't have any other intentions. I just think Lianshan Village is a good place and I don't want to leave. So I want to ask the village leader if we can settle here?"

"settle down?"

Lian Yunxi looked at her in confusion. Although their village seemed good now, in normal years, they were the poorest.

How could a man with the title of county magistrate like this place?

"You know we are fleeing from famine and haven't decided where to go. We were planning to keep going, but I just thought your place is pretty good. Not only are the people nice, but the environment is also great. What's more, we have developed feelings for each other after spending so much time together, so I decided to just stay here."

Ye Chu spoke half-truthfully, and only heaved a sigh of relief when he noticed that Lian Yunxi's expression had relaxed.

"Our place is really not a good place. Why don't you go further ahead, Miss Ye, to Lanlin County? It's much richer there than here, and you'll definitely be able to choose a good place there."

Lian Yunxi did not drop out of the paper because of Ye Chuyi's few words.

"Miss, we are here. Do you have anything to tell us?"

Wang Dachui ran and shouted, looking like a lackey.

"Why don't we go back and talk about this later?"

"Ah."

After getting Lian Yunxi's consent, Ye Chuyi breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Li Laihu and the others who were jogging towards him.

"Didn't I promise you that I would help take care of your family? Now they come to you on their own. Do you think this is right?"

Wang Dachui's attention was completely on Ye Chuyi. When he heard Ye Chuyi's words, he quickly turned around and saw an acquaintance in the crowd.

"Miss, this is indeed our family."

His father, mother, brother and sister-in-law were all there, as were all the familiar people.

He just saw that there seemed to be some more people behind him, and he didn't know if he remembered it wrongly.

"Master Wang, Master Li."

After seeing the familiar people, the woman breathed a sigh of relief and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"Mrs. Lin, you don't have to be so polite. Thank you for your hard work in taking care of our family along the way."

Li Laihu and Wang Dachui hurriedly clasped their fists in return.

"Since we are all acquaintances, why don't we go to the village and rest for a while?"

Ye Chuyi said this while signaling to Lian Yunxi with his eyes.

Lian Yunxi's mouth twitched. It had already been decided, and now they were asking him again. How could he not agree?

"Everyone, please come inside."

A group of people marched into the village in a mighty procession.

Ye Chuyi didn't want to squeeze with them, so he stepped back.

Just then, he saw a few furtive figures behind the crowd, and subconsciously poked the person next to him.

"Did you see those guys? There seems to be something wrong."

Lian Yunxi glanced in the direction she pointed, then turned away, "Everyone will pay attention."

As soon as this group of people came over, he noticed those people, but he didn't see them make any moves. He was not sure what their purpose was, so he didn't act rashly.

"As long as you know what's going on, I won't worry about it. Just do your best."

Ye Chuyi said this, patting Lian Yunxi on the shoulder with an attitude of a good brother.

Lian Yunxi endured and endured, and finally managed to utter a few words through his teeth, "Miss, I am a man, and there are differences between men and women."

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it and I can't change it right away. I'll try not to do it in the future. Don't take it to heart, Village Master."

Ye Chuyi chuckled twice, silently took a few steps back, and slapped the back of his hands hard a few times.

Damn it, you can't control yourself!

Lian Yunxi also turned his eyes away silently to avoid contact with her.

I always feel that his brain is not so sharp when he is with her, which is not a good thing.
