Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

When they were near the village, Ye Chuyi sat on the shaft of the carriage, looking around as he went.

When we were almost in the middle of the village, we could vaguely see wisps of smoke coming from somewhere, so fragile that it seemed like it would disappear with a gust of wind.

"Miss, I'll go over and take a look first."

Du Jiayi said this, and quickly jumped off the carriage, then ran towards the direction where the smoke was rising without looking back.

Ye Chuyi and the others didn't stop either, but slowly drove the carriage and followed behind.

When I got closer, I could vaguely hear hoarse conversation.

"I don't know when this day will end. There is no food left."

"What else can we do? Let's go dig in the fields tomorrow. We old guys have lived enough. We can't let the baby die with us."

"Hey~"

With a long sigh, Du Jiayi slowly knocked on the tightly closed wooden door.

The sound from inside the door stopped abruptly.

Even the slowly rising smoke stopped for a moment until it completely disappeared.

"Turn on map detection."

As Ye Chuyi finished her words, a map model with character symbols appeared in front of her.

In the small, not-very-sturdy house in front of them, there were actually twenty or thirty densely packed small dots.

[Why are there so many people?]

Baizai tilted his head curiously, "This room is so small, how did they squeeze so many people in?"

Ye Chuyi naturally had no way to answer him. She also couldn't understand how so many people could be crammed into such a small room.

There are so many houses in the village, some of which are even large and sturdy brick houses.

"Miss, what should I do?"

Du Jiayi scratched his head embarrassedly.

He could hear voices inside, but now he could pretend that no one was there. He couldn't just kick the door open.

"Let me do it."

Ye Chuyi took a step forward and knocked on the door gently.

"Hello, we are new to the village and we mean no harm."

After a long while, a trembling voice came from inside, "You guys should leave. There is no food left in our village."

Ye Chuyi took a deep breath and slowed down his tone a bit.

"Uncle, you misunderstood. We are not here to ask for food. We just want to see if there is anyone else in the village. Anyone who is willing to stay in the village can get food from us."

The people in the room obviously didn't believe it. There was a thud, as if something heavy was pushed to the door.

This is clearly an unwelcome attitude.

Ye Chuyi sighed and was thinking about going back to the village first, when he suddenly saw a person coming out from the back of the carriage and quickly running to the door.

"Don't be afraid, Grandpa. The young lady is really a good person and will definitely help you."

"Yun, when did you come here?"

The man from Lian Shanzhai rushed to the front of the crowd and grabbed Lian Yunya's ear.

"You little brat, you've actually learned to run around, do you want to be punished too?"

"Brother Ming, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again!"

Lian Yunya begged for mercy quickly. He followed because he saw Brother Du coming and had no intention of running away.

"I'll tell your mother when I get home."

Lian Yunming said this without forgetting to glare at him.

Ye Chuyi, who had been paying attention to the movements in the house, soon discovered that there was a slight crack in the house.

A cloudy eye appeared in the gap.
