Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"Miss, my father asked me to ask, should we continue to go north, or go east to the county town to have a look?"

Wang Chengde wiped the sweat from his face and pointed to the east and started introducing things.

"If we keep going east, we will be out of Daqing Mountain by the evening. After we leave Daqing Mountain and keep going north for half a day, we will reach Yunshan County."

"How about Yunshan County?" Ye Chuyi did not make a decision directly.

"I'm not sure. I was lucky enough to come here once before. It was richer than ours. I heard that the county magistrate was a good man. I just don't know what the situation is like now."

Wang Chengde scratched his head embarrassedly. He came here with his father last time, and it has been more than ten years.

"Since we are out of Daqing Mountain and have to continue heading north, can we go directly from Daqing Mountain?"

While Ye Chuyi was speaking, he did not forget to ask the system.

In ancient times, the roads were not that developed. It would be safer if the system could plan the walking route.

"If we don't leave the mountain and continue to go north, we will bypass Yunshan County. If we want to go to Yunshan again, we can only go back from the north, which will take at least two days."

Wang Yongshou had walked up to them at some point. He was holding a wooden stick as a crutch and was walking breathlessly.

"Going further ahead is the natural barrier of Daqing Mountain. There is a very deep ravine there. It is deep and steep. There is no way to get through it. So if we want to go to Yunshan County, we have to go east and out of Daqing Mountain. Otherwise, we have to take a long detour."

[Host, he is right. There is indeed a very deep ravine about one kilometer ahead. I can't tell how it was formed, but it is indeed very steep. We definitely can't get through it with our current conditions.]

Baizai also quickly shared the information obtained from the scan.

[The next county town is very far from Yunshan County. If we don’t go now, it will take at least seven or eight days to get there.]

"I wonder if there are any refugees or bandits near Yunshan County." Ye Chuyi looked at Dongfang and frowned slightly.

The bandits came out of nowhere. Judging from the information we got before, if this is really related to the rebellion plan of some big shot, Yunshan County might have been under control.

After all, the two counties are not far apart from each other, so this doesn't seem like a spur-of-the-moment plan.

"There should be some refugees. There are many people who left earlier than us. Some of them should be stopping in Yunshan County now, but there should be more ahead. Those bandits shouldn't be leaving so fast, right?"

Wang Yongshou gripped the stick with some uncertainty.

After all, he is of this age, so naturally he can see more than these young people. After hearing what Ye Chuyi said, he began to feel nervous.

This isn't a place where everything is good, so those things shouldn't happen there, right?

"Those people have horses. If we really want to hurry, it won't be surprising if we end up in Yunshan County. Let's go east first and see what happens later."

Ye Chuyi made the final decision.

If she didn't want to buy something, she really didn't want to go to Yunshan County.

It was all because I had no experience in fleeing famine for the first time. I was so happy to get the silver that I only remembered to buy food, but forgot about salt, meat, seasonings and other things.

While the situation is still good, I should quickly buy some and put them in the space to make it more reassuring.

[Host, you can actually buy things in the system mall. There is everything in the mall. Do you want to take a look?]

Baizai promoted the product cautiously.

"No." Ye Chuyi refused directly.

She knew how expensive the things in the system mall were. She didn't have many points to begin with, so if she used them to buy daily necessities that could be purchased in real life, she would be crazy.

[But the daily necessities in the mall are very cheap, and one point can buy a lot of things.]

“I won’t buy that either.”

Ye Chuyi continued to refuse.

Maybe it was because we had a big meal in the morning, so everyone was full of energy when we were traveling today.

There were many trees on the mountain, which blocked a lot of sunlight. Therefore, until noon, no one suggested stopping to rest.

Ye Chuyi had rarely walked far in modern times, and she had been fleeing for several days. But today was the first time she had walked so far, and her feet had been hurting so much that she couldn't bear it anymore.

But no one suggested taking a rest, and she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she rode on the horse with peace of mind.

"Aunt, Yaya has rested enough and wants to go downstairs for a walk."

After sitting for less than ten minutes, Yaya struggled again and wanted to get off and walk with Hu Zi and the others.

"Yaya, be obedient. You are walking too slowly. Brother Huzi still wants to hold you. Let's just stay on horseback and not cause trouble for Brother Huzi."

Ye Chuyi whispered something to comfort him, and when he looked to the side, he happened to see Hu Zi's unhappy face.

She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.

When she was in the dungeon, she discovered that although this boy looked small, he was very smart and seemed to have some hidden plans towards their Yaya.

"Brother Huzi." Yaya called out pitifully and stretched out her little hand with all her strength.

Hu Zi gently held the little hand in his palm and squeezed it, "Yaya, sit on the horse and don't move. I will follow you next to you. You can see me if you lower your head."

"Okay, Yaya will be good." Yaya nodded obediently.

Ye Chuyi raised his eyebrows and said, "If you are tired, you can sit on the horse with Yaya and take a rest."

Hu Zi glared at her and turned his head quickly, "I'm not tired, you don't need to worry about me."

Looking at his appearance, Ye Chuyi couldn't help but laugh out loud.

To be honest, I don't know if these kids were full of energy or something, they walked and played along the way, running and jumping from time to time, and none of them fell behind. Some even became more and more excited as they walked.

It's simply completely incomprehensible.

Thanks to everyone's high spirits, they originally would have left Daqing Mountain in the evening, but they ended up leaving at the end of the evening.

Unlike the uninhabited area in Daqing Mountain, once you step out of the forest, you can see traces of people, and occasionally you can even run into some refugees on their way.

Without the shelter of the woods, the afternoon sun seemed scorching hot, and in less than a moment, Ye Chuyi was sweating lightly from the sun.

"We've been walking for so long, why don't we find a place to rest?"

Zhao Wenzhu made a very insightful suggestion.

Ye Chuyi nodded in agreement.

Hearing that they could take a break, the team cheered quietly, and the children were the most excited among them.

After the initial joy of playing, they had already become listless, and this was just what they wanted.

No one cared about anything and just found an open space and sat down on the ground.

The refugees passing by just looked at them numbly and hurried on their way.
