Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

Aunt Du acted very quickly.

Before Ye Chuyi said anything, she had already started thinking about skinning the wolf and eating its meat. Now that she had gotten the OK, she was even more decisive in her action.

"What are you guys doing crying? Don't you see all the food lying on the ground? Come and help us."

The two little girls who were sitting in the corner wiping their tears were so frightened that they dared not refute at all, and immediately moved their hands and feet swiftly.

"And the rest of you should stop being so desperate. Your man is gone, but he still has a family to worry about. You can't just starve and be buried with him. You might as well take this opportunity to quickly clean up the wolf meat. You can live comfortably, and he will definitely feel relieved in the underworld."

The women who were guarding their husbands desperately seemed to suddenly find their backbone. They wiped away their tears and ran towards the wolf pack that was piled up like a mountain.

"I didn't say you were not good, what are you looking at behind the tree? Why don't you help to pack up the things? Are you expecting us from Dujiawazi to deliver the food to you? Why are you all so ignorant?"

Aunt Du kept muttering to herself all night long. Her loud voice echoed in the camp, and the villagers who had suffered a great disaster seemed to come alive instantly.

Soon, the smell of meat wafted through the camp.

Ye Chuyi was lying in the tent in a daze. At first, she was still thinking about problems and bargaining with Bai Zai, but before she knew it, she fell asleep to the sound of Aunt Du's voice.

Although she did not sleep well that night, she felt comfortable. Although there were many things she had not figured out, she had already let go of them.

It's like living a new life, and I just encountered all kinds of strange things I have never encountered before, which shattered my previous three views. What is there to be afraid of?

"Very good, today is another energetic day!"

Ye Chuyi forced a smile, clenched his fists to encourage himself, then stretched comfortably.

"Little aunt."

Yaya got up from the ground in a daze, ran to Yichuyi in a crooked manner, threw herself into her arms, and rubbed her little face against her sleeves.

"It's still early, Yaya, go to sleep a little longer."

Ye Chuyi coaxed softly, and through the gap, he could see the slightly pale sky outside.

The sun hasn't even risen yet, but the camp is already bustling.

After packing up and walking out of the tent, Ye Chu was instantly attracted by the smell of meat in the air.

"Sure enough, the meat cooked in a big pot is very delicious." Ye Chuyi couldn't help but sigh.

It was just ordinary wolf meat, but I felt very satisfied.

It feels like the big pot of food when we had banquets in the village when we were little.

"Miss, you're awake. Come and have a look at the freshly stewed bones."

While greeting everyone warmly, Aunt Du deftly fished out a large piece of fat and lean meat from the pot.

Wolves are different from ordinary poultry. As they have been well-developed in sports since childhood, there is almost no greasy fat on their bodies. However, Aunt Du still carefully picked out the best piece.

"Thank you, Auntie. I can't eat so much. It will be wasted on me."

Ye Chuyi waved her hands embarrassedly. She was not a meat lover to begin with, and now her teeth ached at the sight of this firm lean meat.

"Not much, not much. It's just out of the pot and still hot. Come and eat it."

Aunt Du pushed the bowl into her hand without giving her a chance to refuse while speaking, then turned around and continued picking from the pot.

"Mom, you are so partial. I asked you to pick a piece for me, but you said it was not cooked yet. Now you have chosen such a good piece of meat for Miss to eat. I don't care, I want it too!"

Du Jiayi came up to her coquettishly and rubbed against Aunt Du Er, looking like a puppy.

"You're a good-for-nothing." Aunt Du angrily hit him with a spatula and deftly fished out a big bone from the pot.

"Alright, alright, this portion is yours. It will be gone once you finish it. Hurry up and call everyone to come and eat."

"Mom, you're the best!"

Du Jiayi praised him again, then ran away with a grin, grabbing the big bone.

The wolf meat was cooked by people from the three villages together. No special division was made and everyone just agreed to cook it together.

The men had been busy digging pits to bury the victims' bodies all night, and only now did they return from the depths of the woods, sweating profusely.

"Where did you bury the body? Did you mark it?"

While serving the meat, Second Aunt Du spoke in a low voice to Second Uncle Du.

Ye Chuyi didn't rush to get up. He chewed the bone from time to time and listened to what they said.

"We are leaving today, so we just buried them by the river. We didn't leave any marks because we were afraid that thieves would catch up with us. We all know where they are. We can make plans later after we have settled them down."

"Fortunately, the young lady is here, and everyone in our Dujiawa is alive and well." After saying this, Second Aunt Du turned around, changed her face, and shouted to the crowd with a smile.

"Everyone, have a good meal today. Everything is in the past. Nothing is more important than being alive. After this meal, we will move on and make sure to live a good life."

This was the first time in so many days that their small team had such peace.

After the meal, the sun rose and the camp became lively again.

The little kids, each holding a bone in their hands, ran around the camp happily.

Ye Chuyi looked at it and felt relieved. He really wanted to live his life like this.

But it's time for them to go.

Everyone quickly packed up and was ready to go.

The old people and children from the four villages were gathered in the middle of the team. Women, girls and half-grown boys followed them with bags of food. The strong men were in front and behind the team, clearing the way and covering their retreat.

Different from the zombie-like scene of the previous few days, although they encountered a great disaster last night, they also unexpectedly got a lot of food, and everyone's faces showed some vitality.

Ye Chuyi did not deliberately stand out as being different. He just walked casually behind the men who were leading the way, chatting with Baizai from time to time.

"Can you do your job properly? As a system, you actually say that you have no control over the task. Can you believe such words?"

[But, it’s really like this.]

It has tried many times. No matter what method it uses or what permissions it opens, the task system just ignores it. It feels really aggrieved.

"This is your problem. If you can't solve this problem, I don't want you anymore."
