Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Aunt, are you sleepy? Why don't you talk to Yaya?"

Yaya gently patted Ye Chuyi's cheek and slowly lay in her arms.

"Auntie is so cold. Yaya, please warm me up. Then I won't be cold anymore. Don't be afraid."

A soft touch came from the neck. Ye Chuyi wanted to touch it, but his arm felt as heavy as lead and he couldn't lift it.

What is this about her? Has her soul returned to its place?

Ye Chuyi was thinking in a mess, thinking that all this was really absurd, but since the time travel had happened, it didn't seem like a strange thing.

Once the soul returned to its place, some other things that were originally unclear became clear in an instant, and the memories of the original body suddenly flooded into the mind.

Different from the stinging feeling described in the novel, Ye Chuyi not only did not feel the slightest discomfort, but felt very comfortable instead.

It felt like being wrapped in warm water and someone was massaging me, making me feel so comfortable that I wanted to fall asleep.

Ye Chuyi shook his head, shook off all the messy thoughts, and began to carefully check the original owner's memory.

The original owner was also called Ye Chuyi. She happened to be born on the first day of the new year. Her alcoholic father sobered up for once, and for some reason he got literary and artistic and used a few elegant verses to give his daughter this name.

However, Ye Chuyi was not favored because of this thoughtful name. Instead, he suffered a lot.

Her father is a weirdo. When he is sober, he calls her his darling. When he is drunk, he beats and kicks her. He almost beats her to death several times.

Not to mention her mother, who is a typical patriarchal person. She always calls her a money-loser and she even wants to strangle her to death.

The original body had three older brothers and one younger brother, but none of them were good people.

The only honest and upright person, Ye Lao Da, Yaya's father, was sent out by his family to perform labor service. He never came back and it was said that he was dead, leaving his orphan and widow to be bullied.

Yaya looked so small, but after looking through her memory I realized that she was actually four years old. She had been malnourished for a long time, and it was lucky that she could hold on until now.

Ye Chuyi gritted his teeth and pounded his hands, and the slight movement was immediately felt by Yaya.

"Mom, look, little aunt is moving. Is she waking up?"

Yaya happily grabbed her mother's hand and looked at Ye Chuyi's face without blinking.

Little Zhang wiped her tears and gently hugged the little girl.

My sister-in-law caught a cold and has been sick for several days. Her family refused to give her any treatment and just threw her into this broken woodshed to fend for herself. There is no way she can be saved.

"Yaya, it's time for us to go. Let auntie have a good sleep. When she wakes up, she will come to play with you."

Little Zhang coaxed him gently, and when she passed by the bundle at the door, she looked at it with complicated eyes.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out the portion from their room.

"Mom, the things are still on the ground." Yaya tugged at the bag on the ground in confusion and pulled it up with all her might, her little face turning red.

"These are left for my aunt." It took little Zhang a long time to utter these words. She looked deeply into the yard, picked up her daughter and walked out without looking back.

The Ye family had been gone for a long time, and she certainly couldn't catch up with them. If not for her sake, then for Yaya's, they couldn't run into the bandits.

The yard returned to silence, and the memories in my mind were still playing in a loop. The timeline was moving very fast and had already reached the last two years.

Years of drought have reduced income from crops. There is not much harvest left from the fields, and every household is counting the food to survive.

After much anticipation, the rain finally came, but it turned out to be a heavy rainstorm, and the only harvest in the fields was gone. Everyone's life became even more difficult.

To make matters worse, the second-rate guys from several nearby villages got to know a few desperate people and went up the mountain to become bandits. When they ran out of food, they ran to the village. I don't know how many people they harmed.

In order to survive, everyone had to flee with their families. There are not many people left in the village now.

And Ye Chuyi, she was the one who was left behind.

"Ahem, ahem, this is absolutely amazing!"

Ye Chuyi complained weakly and slowly opened her eyes. Her body was still a little stiff and she could only move her limbs with difficulty.

“I don’t know when the bandits will arrive.”

In her current condition, there is no way she can run away. If she really encounters him, she won’t die again, right?

Thinking about the bandits in ancient times, Ye Chuyi couldn't help but shudder. They would die without a burial place!

"I don't know where you are, great time traveler, you didn't really let me travel through time just to let me experience a different feeling of death, did you?"

Ye Chuyi raised his middle finger towards the sky with great effort. Feeling his strength slowly recovering, he couldn't help but spit out a few curses.

"Fuck me!"

[There are still two hours until the bandits arrive.]

"Hiss." Ye Chuyi frowned and looked around, but there was nothing unusual.

"It's like hell."

[This system is not a ghost, it is a unique and optimal system that helps others.]

The mechanical sound rang again, and Ye Chuyi realized belatedly that this thing seemed to be in her brain.

"So, you are the golden finger of time travel, system?"

Ye Chuyi asked uncertainly, shouldn’t the system have been out a long time ago?

Why is this system so slow? It can’t be unreliable.

She thought uncertainly and used her hands, which had finally been able to move, to grab a handful of soil?

[This system is the most reliable system among the systems that help others, please be careful with your words.]

Ye Chuyi inexplicably felt that the mechanical voice seemed to be angry, so he could only curl his lips and pull up the corners of his mouth. It was better to have something than nothing, so he would just make do with it.

"So, what is the most reliable system for helping others? Can you help me recover quickly?"

[cannot. ]

The entire system fell silent.

"You say you're reliable, but you can't even handle such a small matter." Ye Chuyi complained in a low voice and shook his legs gently.

The bandits won’t come before anyone gets up.

[If you agree to bind to this system, you can obtain the necessary materials by completing tasks to help you live better in the famine years.]

The system seemed to deliberately increase the volume in order to even the score.

"What's the use of supplies? It's all in vain if you can't get better." Ye Chuyi didn't respond at all and shook his neck from time to time.

I can finally breathe deeply, it feels so good!

She couldn't help but take several deep breaths. The air in ancient times, which was not polluted by chemicals, was indeed exceptionally good!

[If you don't bind to this system in time, this system will recycle your life points. Don't you want to live?]

The system soundtrack had a hint of gnashing of teeth.

A white light flashed before his eyes, and Ye Chuyi couldn't help but close his eyes. The next moment, he felt a furry thing crawling on his body.

She slowly opened her eyes and looked at her chest, only to see a snow-white dog staring at her.
