Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

The deeper we went, the more lush the woods became, making it difficult for the donkey cart to move forward.

The old man was pulling the donkey cart with a grim look on his face, wishing he could slaughter the donkey. In just a short while, he had been kicked several times. If this continued, his body would be ruined.

"Girl, how long will it take to get there? Can you get someone else to lead the donkey cart?"

The old man gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

I really don’t know what this girl was thinking. She actually let an old man like him lead the donkey.

"Please bear with it, old man. We will be there soon."

Ye Chuyi was also very upset. He walked in and realized that he had forgotten about the donkey. He had no choice but to clear the way as he walked.

All the girls with healthy limbs are leading the way, okay?

"Grandpa Zhang, let me lead the way."

Hu Zi reached out to pull the reins, but was slapped away by the old man.

"Go away, little guy, you are not even as tall as the donkey, how can I let you lead the donkey? You should take care of your brothers and sisters."

The person in front was walking with difficulty, and the people behind were following with fear.

"Brother Niu, they are not going to enter Daqing Mountain, are they? That mountain is not safe."

Zhu Zhengshan, the village chief of Dahuaishu Village, is the oldest among the three people. He is usually carried on his son's back when traveling. Seeing that he was following the team, he felt inexplicably nervous.

He was originally unwilling to come along, if it weren't for Brother Niu's guarantee that it would definitely work, he wouldn't have done this.

"Don't panic, Brother Zhu. She must be heading into the mountains on purpose to get rid of us. We can't fall into her trap. We just need to keep following them until they get tired, and then everything will work out."

Niu Hezhu spoke with confidence, but in fact he was not sure. He just thought that the county magistrate was a little girl and was easy to control, so he wanted to follow her.

If they fail today, their Shanghe Village will probably be disbanded.

"Uncle Hezhu, what if they really enter Daqing Mountain?"

Wang Chengde scratched his head in a naive manner. He had just taken over his father's position as the village chief of Liushu Village. He had not yet learned how to manage the village when he encountered such a thing. He had never seen such a thing before.

"Talk less." Wang Yongshou was so angry when he saw his silly son that he hit him without mercy.

Wang Chengde looked at his father aggrievedly and shrank back silently, "You guys should discuss it. I don't care."

Ye Chuyi had no idea what was going on afterwards, she only knew that she was almost exhausted.

She said she was going to clear the road, but she didn't even have the right tools. The stun gun in her hand was smoking from swinging it. She had to take a detour when she encountered a tree that was constantly being swung. They had already gone through a long detour.

"If it doesn't work, let's just throw the donkey cart away."

The old man was leaning against the donkey and breathing heavily. This donkey was so wild, he had never seen anything like it before.

Ye Chuyi had thought about quietly putting away the donkey cart, but there was a group of annoying people following behind it, why wouldn’t they leave?

"Miss, let us help clean up." A weak voice sounded from the crowd.

Behind her there were a few men and women who were huddled like quails, trying their best to put on their most honest and harmless smiles.

"Miss, this is Pomegranate, and the ones behind her are her family members." Qinghuan explained softly.

Ye Chu listened and contacted everyone one by one. There were quite a few people in the Shi family, with a total of ten people, young and old. It was about the same number of people as his original family, but the family was much more humane than the Ye family.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Ye Chuyi did not refuse, she really couldn't swing it anymore.

"Not hard, not hard."

The honest people in the family waved their hands hurriedly and ran to the front of the line to start working without waiting for Ye Chuyi to say anything.

It has to be said that the farmers are not only strong, but also more efficient than girls like them. They cleared a large area in no time.

Ma Xiaohua and her daughter were also helping.

"Qinghuan, take them in this direction and continue walking. I'll go find someone to pick them up."

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he rushed into the woods without waiting for an answer. Fortunately, he had a detector to guide him and would not get lost.

"Wen Zhu, when will your master come back? We have nothing to eat in Wazi, and we all want to find something to eat."

The seventh uncle of the Du family looked at the dark forest and felt very anxious. The wild vegetables seen around had been picked up by the women long ago. If they wanted to find something to eat, they could only go inside. He was afraid that the girl would not be able to find anyone when she came back.

It was almost dark and they didn't even have the tools to make a fire. What would they do if wild beasts came?

"Don't worry, Uncle Seven. I'll go take a look."

Zhao Wenzhu stood up and said this. His master said that he would be back in half an hour, but it has already been an hour. Could he have met those refugees who escaped?

"Zhao Wenzhu, are you there?"

Ye Chuyi shouted while rummaging through the system mall, trying to find a suitable lighting tool.

The system mall was really shady. They actually dared to ask her for eight points for an ordinary modern flashlight.

[Flashlights are not a tool of this era, so they are more expensive!]

Baizai gave a soft explanation, saying that if it was something that already existed in this world, it would still be very cheap.

"I don't believe you. Pills are not something from this era. How come they are not so expensive?"

Ye Chuyi continued to search and finally found a more down-to-earth product among all the high-tech products - a fire starter.

[Because pills are disposable items.]

Click to buy, one point disappears, and two tube-shaped objects similar to fireworks appear in your hand.

The texture is a little cool to the touch. I opened the lid and blew gently, and a small flame ignited. When the wind blew, the flame was steady and did not flicker or go out.

"Pretty high-tech!" Like a modern windproof lighter, it's truly windproof.

[Products produced by the system must be top quality!]

Baizai happily posted an advertisement.

"Master, is that you?"

Zhao Wenzhu saw a light from a distance. When he got closer and saw clearly what Ye Chuyi was holding, his mouth opened slightly.

He had never seen anything like this before; the torch was so tiny.

"Are the people in Dujiawazi okay? My donkey cart can't get in, and I need help."

Ye Chuyi was really embarrassed and didn't even dare to look at Zhao Wenzhu.

"Master, wait a minute. I'll go get someone."

After Zhao Wenzhu finished speaking, he walked towards where they were stationed while shouting. Soon, a large group of men came over with various tools.

After driving away the refugees, their weapons were put away, and all sorts of things came in handy.

"Thank you for following my directions and opening a road that can accommodate donkey carts. If people from outside can come in, I will prepare food for everyone."

Ye Chuyi said a few words to comfort him at the right time.

"Hey, girl, just wait, we will definitely be out soon!"

When they heard that there was food to eat, these men who had been hungry all day started crying out loud and working like crazy.

Those who were strong enough actually wanted to chop down the trees directly, which scared Ye Chuyi so much that he quickly stopped them.

"Cutting down trees is too much work, so just clearing the weeds will be enough. Let's finish it quickly and eat early!"
