Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"I wonder if you can tell us what this opportunity is? Is it available to all people?"

Seeing that no one was moving, an old man with a white beard took a step forward, his voice full of caution.

Behind him, there are countless pairs of eager eyes.

"Of course, everyone has a chance, no matter if they are young or old, male or female, as long as they are willing, they can come."

Ye Chuyi smiled slightly. This old man looked like a kind person.

When he saw that it was Ye Chuyi who spoke, the old man was stunned at first, then suddenly knelt down.

"As long as the lady is willing to give us a bite to eat, we can do anything without hesitation. I hope the lady will not despise us for being clumsy."

"How many of you are there?" Ye Chuyi looked behind him curiously, and there were quite a few people paying attention to this side.

"Our entire clan, seven hundred and eighty-four people, are willing to serve the young lady."

When talking about the number of people, the old man paused obviously.

"You don't even know what you are following me for, but you are risking the lives of our entire clan. Aren't you afraid that I will send you to your deaths?"

Ye Chuyi suddenly put away the smile on his face and looked at him seriously.

Before the old man could say anything, the others started chattering.

"I knew there would be no such good thing in the world, but the old man was still eager to go. Now, the whole clan is going to die."

"That shouldn't be the case. I think this lady is a kind person. She even gave us some porridge."

"What do you know as a woman? They bought you off with two bowls of porridge, but they want to kill you. You are really short-sighted."

"Maybe this woman just needs a man to teach her. Why don't we help educate her?"

Immediately, more and more lewd laughter was heard from the crowd.

Ye Chuyi looked coldly at the man who was laughing the most happily in the crowd. He suddenly raised his arm, and an arrow from his sleeve flew out and shot directly through the man's neck.

The others who were still chatting and laughing beside him immediately ran away in panic.

Ye Chuyi then looked at the woman who spoke for her. She looked young, with two half-grown children following behind her. She was holding another child in her arms, who was currently lowering her head, huddled and shivering.

"Why do you think I'm a kind person?"

It was not until someone pushed the woman that she raised her head in panic, then quickly lowered it again, "The young lady is pretty, and her smile is pretty, too. No, she doesn't look down on us."

When she went to get the porridge, it was snatched away by someone else. The lady then served her another serving of porridge. Not only did she give them more, she also let them drink it next to the porridge stall.

Only a kind-hearted deity would do this.

"Do you want to come with me?"

The woman raised her head suddenly and looked at Ye Chuyi in disbelief, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible, "But I have three children."

Ye Chuyi did not answer, but looked directly at everyone.

"I need a group of people to go back and help me repair the house and do the work. I will provide daily meals and accommodation. I need a lot of people, and there are no special requirements. Anyone who is willing can come, whether they are old, women or children. After the house is built, if you want to settle down with us, you can do so. If you are interested, you can come to the porridge shed to sign up."

When they heard that food and accommodation were provided, many people's eyes lit up and they started to squeeze forward regardless of anything.

"What are you doing? Are there any rules? Line up."

Wei Lin once again acted as the road commander, and with a cold face he picked out several men who tried to take advantage of the loopholes one by one.

Because there were so many people, the old man who spoke first and the woman with three children were quickly pushed to the back.

"Miss, I am willing to build a house."

Looking at the shifty man in front of him, Ye Chuyi suddenly raised the corner of his mouth, "You, don't."

"Why don't you want me? You said anyone would do, but now you say no, you're just lying!"

The man shouted loudly in dissatisfaction, and sure enough, many people around him were affected by his words.

Ye Chuyi ignored him and just looked at the crowd for a familiar figure.

"The elderly person who just spoke to me and the sister with the child can bring their family and friends to register first. Others can come after they have finished registering."

"Chief, shall we go over there?"

He also saw the scene where the lady shot someone just now, and he was really scared.

"go."

The old man uttered a word firmly, "If we don't go, there will be no way to survive. We might as well go and give it a try. If it's true, our whole clan can survive."

Following the old man's firm steps, more and more people stood up. There was nothing to be afraid of in their tribe anymore.

"The lady only said that you can bring your family and friends to register first. Why are there so many people going there? Is it inappropriate?"

"Let's go over there first, our tribe cannot be separated."

At this time, on the other side of the crowd, a young woman was tightly protecting her three children.

The lady next to her saw that the line was getting longer and longer, so she quickly pushed her and said, "Yinghua, stop standing there like an idiot. Hurry up and take your child to register. You can still have a chance to survive."

"Auntie," Liu Yinghua looked at her with tears in her eyes, "I can't leave you alone."

"Silly girl, it's better for you to live well with your child than anything else. Go quickly, Auntie will be fine."

The old lady wiped her tears with a smile, but she didn't know that her own tears were also flowing down.

"Don't cry, mother. Don't cry, grandma."

The two children carefully wiped the tears of the two adults.

Liu Yinghua looked at the increasingly long queue, then at the child and the aunt, and finally made up her mind.

"Didn't this lady say that you can bring family and friends? From now on, you are our family, Auntie. We will go together. If that doesn't work, we will go somewhere else together."

"Good, good, good!"

The old lady cried and laughed at the same time, hugging the two little ones tightly. She never thought that at the last moment she would have a few more family members.

Ye Chuyi did not register everyone one by one, but classified them according to the people who came together.

The first to register were the Cheng family led by the old man who spoke first. They only recorded the total number of people in the family and the number of elderly, children, women and men, and that was considered registration.

Those who register will receive a wooden sign. Only the person holding the sign will have some specific details recorded, and the rest, except for the number of people, will be managed by the person holding the sign.

When it was Liu Yinghua's turn, Ye Chuyi just took a look and didn't say much, then registered the two adults and three children.

Liu Yinghua and the others didn't expect that it would be so smooth, so they turned around and cried and hugged each other.

Ye Chuyi lost interest after looking for a while, so he said hello and went back early.
