Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Want to eat?"

Ye Chuyi waved the meat-filled steamed bun in front of the refugee leader.

"Get lost, I don't want to eat."

The refugee leader turned his head away stubbornly, his Adam's apple rolling twice subconsciously.

"You really don't want to eat? That's such a shame."

After Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he took a big bite of the steamed bun and savored it carefully with his eyes closed.

The meat was a bit tough, it would have been better if it had been sprinkled with chili powder and cumin powder.

She didn't notice it when she was in the county town, but now she realizes that she seemed to have bought less things.

There is no vegetable, no meat, no salt, no sugar, no seasoning. I can’t understand why other protagonists wouldn’t encounter these things when fleeing famine?

"Miss, what do you want to ask him? He's been walking with them for a whole day. Why don't I just beat him up?"

Wang Chengde squatted on the side, chewing on a piece of bread, and made suggestions incoherently.

He helped catch a thief last night and was given some food during the day. He took everything back to his father and shared it with the villagers, and his father agreed to his request.

However, the other old fellows really wanted to skin him alive when they saw them eating. He didn't want to stay with those old fellows, so he shamelessly followed Ye Chuyi and even changed his way of addressing him.

Ye Chuyi was also very happy. After this guy followed them, Yaya had someone to carry her when she walked. Not only did she become more lively, but she also smiled all day long.

The meat they ate now was the roasted rabbit they had picked up in the woods that afternoon.

"Okay, if he still doesn't tell me after dinner, you'll beat him up severely. Remember not to do it in front of Yaya."

Ye Chuyi gave instructions, patted her butt and got into the donkey cart. They had already passed through the valley and entered the Daqing Mountains. The donkey cart was even more difficult to move. She had to think carefully about how to deal with the situation.

She looked left and right at the frame, but couldn't see many flowers. She could only sit on the edge of the car and sigh.

"doing what?"

The old man looked at her unhappily and pushed some of the herbs that were almost sat on to his side.

The fresh herbs he just picked in the woods today are very precious.

"I'm worried! You won't understand!"

"If you don't tell me, no one will understand."

The old man didn't go crazy with her. He got off the donkey cart calmly, carrying a small basket.

Instead of wasting time talking to this girl about irrelevant things, he might as well go pick a few more medicinal herbs. It is not common to find fresh herbs growing so well.

"None of you understand me."

Ye Chuyi looked up at the sky in silence. Everyone else bought a horse-drawn carriage to travel, was she the only one who thought this thing was a burden?

But if I really throw it away, I will feel so sad, what should I do?

"Miss, if you don't want to continue into the mountains, we can go out from the north. It only takes a day to get out of Shanglin County."

Qinghuan considerately handed Ye Chuyi the water bag.

"North?"

North is up, south is down, west is left, east is right. Ye Chuyi muttered to himself several times before he could figure out where north was.

"Going out from the north is the official road, which will definitely be much easier to walk on."

Qinghuan nodded, and one could vaguely see anticipation on her face.

"Which way is your family going?" Ye Chuyi asked casually, but he didn't expect the little girl to blush immediately.

"Miss, I have no other thoughts."

Ye Chuyi waved her hand nonchalantly. It was normal for him to want to go find his family, and she couldn't stop him. But she always felt that she would not be safe once she left the mountain.

The bandits came for unknown reasons, and there was a time bomb in the system task. She didn't know if there was any connection between them. It would be better if the leader of the refugees could speak up quickly.

Just as Ye Chuyi was thinking this, Zhao Wenzhu came running over, followed by a group of idiots.

"Master, someone has entered the mountain."

Zhao Wenzhu was sweating profusely from running, and after shouting, he collapsed to the ground.

"Who are they, how many are there, and where are they now?"

Ye Chu jumped off the donkey cart in an instant, and the stun gun was in his hand almost instantly.

When they started their journey in the morning, Zhao Wenzhu and two men from Dujiawazi went out on horseback. They only came back now and didn't even have time to eat.

"There were bandits and refugees, probably several hundred people, divided into several groups. Some went into the mountains, and more were on the official roads. Many civilians outside the city gates were killed."

Zhao Wenzhu seemed to recall something and his face turned pale instantly.

He had seen bandits killing people before, but none of them was as tragic as the situation outside the city gates. The gates of Shanglin County were tightly closed, and corpses were everywhere outside the city. All he could see was a sea of ​​blood. Those beasts had killed everyone.

Looking at his expression, Ye Chuyi understood something in an instant, and stared at the refugee tied to the tree with a very unpleasant expression.

"Wang Chengde, beat him until he opens his mouth."

"Hey."

Wang Chengde responded, stood up from the ground swiftly, and put Yaya into Huzi's arms, "Go, go, go and play somewhere else."

The little guys obediently walked away, and Wang Chengde swung his fists vigorously, hitting them in the face.

"Fuck, just wait, I won't let you go."

The leader of the refugees glared at Wang Chengde fiercely and gritted his teeth.

Zhao Wenzhu wiped his face, then went up and hit him in the stomach.

The other men in Dujiawazi were not idle either. They walked up to a refugee and started beating him.

They've wanted to do this for a long time.

"What are they doing? They are just full from eating too much." Niu Hezhu said, spitting on the ground. "They are conscienceless and are not good people. They took the food and gave it to the refugees, but they didn't share it with us."

"Brother Niu, calm down." Zhu Zhengshan said weakly to comfort him.

His family had nothing to eat, and his son couldn't carry him. His old body was exhausted after walking for the entire afternoon.

When Wang Yongshou heard them talking, he quietly led the villagers of Liushu Village away.

Ye Chuyi didn't care what they were thinking. After the men's unremitting efforts, someone finally couldn't hold on and begged for mercy. She was busy.

"Tell me why you came here to rob and what your purpose is. Tell me well and I will let you go."

Ye Chuyi handed over a bone with little meat on it with a smile. The man didn't bother to look down on it and took it into his mouth.

"We were also fleeing famine. The boss found us in Shanghe Village, shared food with us, and said that if we followed him, we would have delicious food and spicy drinks. Then he brought us to Shanglin County."

After the man finished speaking, he started to chew the bone with an intoxicated look on his face. After finishing chewing, he did not forget to chew the bone into pieces and swallow it into his stomach.

"What are you doing in Shanglin County?"

Seeing that he had finished eating, Ye Chuyi took out a white flour bun and continued to ask.

The man swallowed hard, staring at the steamed bun without blinking, "After arriving in Shanglin County, we have been staying at the edge of the woods outside Xiaoqing Mountain pretending to be refugees. The boss didn't say what we were doing, so we have been behaving ourselves."

"Be quiet, are you here to rob my horse?" Zhao Wenzhu gritted his teeth and punched him.

"What do you mean by stealing the horse? The horse originally belonged to the boss, we just want to take it back." Others nearby couldn't help but shout.

What do you mean it originally belonged to them?

She had worked so hard to snatch this horse from the bandits!

Ye Chuyi's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the refugee leader with scrutiny, "You are a bandit."

The leader of the refugees turned his head away and ignored her.

He is really stubborn.
