Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"How could anyone dare to steal a wolf cub?"

Wolves are the most vengeful. If you directly steal their cubs, you are just asking for trouble.

"No wonder the wolves came so aggressively."

"Who on earth dares to harm others like this? If I find out, I will not let him off."

Aunt Du came over with some simple food and happened to hear this. An angry expression instantly appeared on her face.

These wolves killed many people. Although no one died in their village because of Ye Yatou, many men were injured, and two are still lying there unable to move.

If someone really deliberately lured the wolves here, she would definitely seek an explanation for the villagers.

"The person should have been brought back by now, why don't we go and take a look together later."

As Ye Chuyi finished speaking, he saw several figures walking towards him from a distance.

Looking closely, they were none other than Zhao Wenzhu, Wang Chengde, and the two brothers Du Jiaren and Du Jiayi.

Behind them were two men who looked like dead dogs.

"What's going on? Why are they all so dirty?"

When Aunt Du saw the few people who looked as dirty as if they had rolled in the mud, she immediately stepped forward to show concern.

"Mom, stop pulling me. I'm fine. I just fell to the ground accidentally. Stop it now. I'm itchy!"

Du Jiayi said this as he dodged backwards, and the other three took a step back in unison.

"You stupid kid, I'm worried about you, but you're still not happy. You're such a loser, you don't even know how to learn from your cousin."

After making sure that there was really no problem, Aunt Du patted her youngest son a few times, neither too lightly nor too heavily, and started muttering uncontrollably.

Du Jiayi quickly raised his hands in surrender and moved away.

"Miss, we brought the person back, but when we got there, he had already fallen to the ground and was unconscious."

Zhao Wenzhu briefly introduced the situation and put the things he found on the two men on the ground.

"I don't know where they got so much meat. They are really evil creatures who only know how to eat all of it."

Du Jiayi came closer and stared at the pieces of raw meat with greedy eyes. He didn't know how long they had been there, but the surface of the meat was slightly black and he could faintly smell some strange smell.

"Miss, can we take this meat and cook it?"

Du Jiayi rolled his eyes and asked in a flattering voice, saying that he hadn't eaten meat for a long time.

"No one is allowed to eat this meat. Find a place to bury it so that no one else can find it."

Ye Chuyi's expression was serious, but if you looked closely you could see hidden disgust on her face.

She received the system's detection on meat, and although she had some guesses in her mind, she did not expect that it was really human flesh.

Judging from the appearance of the human flesh, it was definitely not freshly cut. It is possible that it has been eaten several times.

Whenever she thought of this, she felt her stomach churning. She had only heard about it before, but never thought she would actually encounter such a thing.

"This meat looks good. It would be a shame to just bury it."

Du Jiayi reached out and gently flipped it twice, his tone full of reluctance.

"Don't talk so much, just do what the lady says. If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you."

Aunt Du slapped her son mercilessly. Although she felt sorry for the meat on the ground, she felt that there must be a reason for Ye Yatou's behavior, so she could only bear the pain and throw it away obediently.

"Miss, is there something wrong with this meat?" Du Jiaren really couldn't bear to see his brother's stupid look, so he had to ask with a blank face.

"Ah."

Ye Chuyi was silent for a long time before he finally let out a breath, "If I'm not mistaken, these should be the people who were thrown into the woods."

"Human, human flesh?!"

Wang Chengde widened his eyes in disbelief. How could this be human flesh?

He carried this all the way back with him. It looked like ordinary meat. How could it be that kind of stuff?

"The people in the villages we passed by in the past few days have long since run out of food, so there is naturally no meat for them. Besides, we didn't encounter any prey when we were walking in front, so the people behind us naturally couldn't encounter any either."

Although Ye Chuyi didn't say anything else, her words spoke for themselves.

Even if someone is lucky and catches a few prey by chance, it is impossible to keep so many.

"How dare they do that! How dare they do that! It's simply a sin!"

Zhu Zhengshan glared at the two people on the ground with a look of disappointment. His old body kept shaking. If Wang Yongshou hadn't been supporting him, he would have fainted from anger.

Although he didn't recognize these two people, he had seen them before. They were the two people from Shanghe Village.

"No wonder that old man Niu Hezhu didn't come when the county magistrate called him. It turns out that this is the situation. He wants all of us to die!"

"Calm down, old man."

Wang Yongshou sighed helplessly. In the past two days, because the county magistrate gave them work, the people in their village had some food, so they naturally became closer to the people in Dujiawazi. They didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

"Let's solve the problem at hand first before we talk about other things."

Looking at the two old men in pain, Ye Chuyi could only turn his head away silently.

She is not a saint, nor does she have the ability to save everyone. She just wants herself and the people she cares about to be well.

"Don't worry, County Magistrate. I will bring that old fellow Niu Hezhu here and make him admit his fault to you. You are so kind and generous, but you still gave those poor people who didn't know the truth a way out."

As he said this, Zhu Zhengshan knelt on the ground, not even caring about the dignity he had protected all his life, and just kowtowed a few times.

His days are coming to an end, but he cannot let the big locust tree break in his hands. He only hopes that the county magistrate can be magnanimous and spare the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in their village.

"Village Chief Zhu, there's no need to do this. This is not your fault in the first place."

Ye Chuyi softened her tone a little and signaled Du Jiayi to help the man up. She was not a person who could not tell right from wrong. As long as she found out everything, she would naturally distinguish rewards and punishments.

"Mr. County Magistrate, I am guilty. I knew that Niu Hezhu was angry, but I didn't want to care because of my face. That's why this happened. I feel guilty."

If he hadn't thought that less trouble is worse than more, and if he had informed the county magistrate of all these situations, would this not have happened?

Wouldn’t the people in their village have died innocently?

When the wolves attacked, the people in Dahuaishu Village had neither been informed of the situation in advance nor anyone to organize follow-up efforts to deal with the wolves or evacuate the elderly and the weak. They instantly became panic-stricken, and most of them were killed or injured.

"Uncle Zhu, this is not your fault. No one will blame you."

Wang Chengde pulled the man up and helped him calm down, his face full of pain.

The relationship between Dahuaishu Village and their village has always been good. Many of the dead were familiar faces, and he felt bad about it.
