Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Ye Chuyi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the refugees, only to find that countless people were staring at his movements, their eyes like those of a hungry wolf preparing to pounce on its prey.

"understood."

Ye Chuyi let out a breath slowly and put his hand down as if nothing had happened.

When the refugees saw that they really could not gain any benefit, they gradually shifted their gaze and looked towards another target.

A carriage that had just left the city was instantly surrounded by the crowd.

The guards around the carriage quickly drew their attention to the threats, but they had no effect at all. It was not until something was finally thrown out of the carriage that the people inside were able to take advantage of the chaos to leave and return to the city.

Ye Chuyi stared at it for a long time before asking the guard, "Can we distribute porridge outside the city?"

The person being asked was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ye Chuyi in disbelief, "Miss, do you want to give them porridge?"

"Well, those children are really pitiful." Ye Chuyi didn't say much.

Although the guards didn't understand, they also showed respect, "Miss, you can do it if you want, but we don't care about your safety. We only guard the city gate."

"I'll come again tomorrow." Ye Chuyi said and turned away quickly.

When Lian Yunxi and the others heard that they were going to give out porridge, they didn't ask why. This was something that Kuaishou prepared.

Even little Lin Gu was busy running around.

"Miss, can I go with you tomorrow?"

Lin Gu held the dishes and asked cautiously.

"Why do you want to go?"

Ye Chuyi looked at him curiously. He seemed to be about the same age as Hu Zi, but much cuter than Hu Zi.

"The Master said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. If you want to be a truly useful person, you must first experience all kinds of life. You can't just read the books of sages all the time. That's the most unreasonable behavior. I think I can see more things by giving away porridge."

Lin Gu said this while shaking his head, his eyes sparkling as if there was light hidden in them.

"Your teacher is right. You can go with us tomorrow, but you must behave yourself and not run around."

Ye Chuyi smiled and rubbed his head.

No wonder young ladies in ancient times all liked scholars. This little scholar is really interesting.

"Yes Miss, I will definitely not run around, thank you Miss!"

Lin Gu smiled widely, and his steps became lighter as he continued to work.

Everyone was preparing pots, pans, and other things they would need. Ye Chuyi himself was also busy preparing various weapons that could be used.

Although there are guards guarding the city gate, they are not our own people after all. If anything unexpected happens, they will still need to deal with it themselves. Instead of being at a loss and asking for help everywhere, it is better to make full preparations now.

Time passed quickly. Although there were no roosters crowing in the new yard, Bai Zai's movements were more punctual than those of the roosters, and he woke Ye Chuyi up early in the morning.

She spent one point in the system space to buy some food, then walked out of the room yawning.

"Why are you all up so early?"

Looking at the person waiting outside the door, Ye Chuyi felt a little embarrassed.

"Miss, we are all ready. Do you want to go now?"

"Let's go now. When we get to the city gate, we'll be in time for breakfast."

Ye Chuyi muttered and stretched, although those refugees might not care whether it was lunch or breakfast.

The streets on both sides were still the same as yesterday, with no signs of stalls. It was deserted all the way until we met the soldiers guarding the city at the city gate, when there was some life.

Wei Lin nodded slightly as a greeting, and quickly opened the city gate with his brothers.

There are more refugees now, so their city gates open later. I didn’t expect this young lady to come so early.

"Have you eaten yet? We made a lot of pancakes at home, how about bringing your brothers to eat some?"

Ye Chuyi said this, raising the food box in his hand.

Lian Yunxi and his companions pretended not to see anything. They just drove the carriage outside the city and stood in a row close to the city wall.

"Why is this so embarrassing?"

Wei Lin scratched his head embarrassedly. When this young lady came to the city, he didn't have the foresight to see her. He didn't expect that she would give him food.

"You're welcome. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me today."

Ye Chuyi said this and handed the food box directly to him.

She didn't say anything wrong. The pancakes were originally made by Uncle Lin, but they were not extra. They were their own food rations.

"Thank you, miss."

A dozen sturdy young men shouted with all their might, waking up all the refugees outside the city who were still drowsy.

"It's okay, it's okay. We can be considered friends. My last name is Ye."

Ye Chuyi greeted with a smile.

Wei Lin took a bite of the pancake happily, and then said vaguely, "My dear little Wei Lin, if you have any problems in the future, just let me know. As long as it is not excessive, we brothers will never hesitate."

"Then I'll make a note of it. When the porridge is ready, come and have a bowl, brothers."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Ye Chuyi walked out of the city.

Lian Yunxi and his team acted quickly. The porridge stalls had already been set up on both sides of the city gate, with five large pots in total.

The refugees had already started watching, but because there were more strong men on this side, they didn't dare to take action. However, they tried to squeeze forward several times.

When the rice bags were taken off the carriage, the crowd finally became noisy.

"It's food, it's food!"

After eating the biscuits and walking out of the city gate, Wei Lin took the lead, holding a big knife and standing directly between the porridge shed and the refugees.

"Let's see who dares to take a step forward."

The refugees shrank back a few steps, but their eyes never left the target.

When the aroma of rice porridge wafted out, more and more people began to become impatient.

"Miss Ye is here to give you porridge out of kindness. If you don't follow the rules and cause unpleasantness, don't blame the brothers for being rude with their knives."

Wei Lin glared coldly at the man who was pushing forward, and drew the knife from his waist without mercy, almost chopping the man's neck.

The timid ones were immediately frightened and fell to the ground, but the brave ones still tried to squeeze forward.

Ye Chuyi personally served a bowl of thick porridge to Wei Lin, and then looked at the crowded refugees.

"Everyone, please line up and come one by one. I guarantee that everyone will have a share. But if some people insist on not following the rules, I think you have heard what this official said. This knife has no eyes. If someone's life is injured, you can't blame others."

Seeing the two men about to squeeze in front of her, Ye Chuyi quickly retreated behind Wei Lin. Who knows if they have any bad intentions.

"Men go to the left, and the elderly still go to the left with the rich. Those who want to fish in troubled waters should be careful. If they get caught, it's not worth it to lose their lives."

After saying this, Ye Chuyi quickly returned to the porridge shed.

This was what she had thought of yesterday. If all the people were mixed together, someone would definitely snatch the weak ones. It would be better to separate them from the beginning.
