I escaped from natural disasters and won by relying on the system.

Seeing the ship in the distance really approaching the mountain, everyone on the hilltop was excited.

Some people kept rubbing their hands, trying to calm their excitement.

"Mr. Xie is right. As long as we hold on, someone will come to rescue us."

"Yes, after so many days, we finally see hope. I wonder if these people are here to save us."

"There are so many ships, they will surely come to rescue us."

"But there are so many of us. Can we save them?"

"It's okay even if we can't save them all at once. As long as someone can find us, we all have hope."

"..."

Amid people's discussions, Lin Chenyu approached the mountain with a dozen small boats.

At this time, the old man with gray hair came over with several middle-aged men beside him.

Lin Chenyu stepped forward and asked, "Old man, we are from the Jiangshang Inn. Would you like to bring the people from the mountain to stay at our Jiangshang Inn?"

The old man was surprised that these people were not government officials.

Jiangshang Inn? How come he had never heard of it?

Where is this inn built? On a boat?

How big a ship must be to build an inn on it?

Thinking of this, the old man spoke up: "How many people can stay in your inn? Can so many of us stay here?"

Zhong Xi replied: "Don't worry, old man. Our inn is big enough to accommodate ten times as many people."

The old man was even more surprised. There were at least two to three thousand of them. If the number was ten times, that would be two to three thousand people. This was almost as many people as a county town. Could the Jiangshang Inn really accommodate them?

Seeing that he was still a little unconvinced, Lin Chenyu did not urge him, but let the old man think about it himself.

After a while, the old man trembled and said, "May I ask you, how can we stay in this inn? Most of us are ordinary people. When the flood came, we were just trying to escape. We don't have much money on us."

What this means is, can you still stay in an inn if you have no money?

Lin Chenyu said: "Don't worry, the inn will give everyone some points first. After you settle down, you can work in the inn to exchange for points for shopping and accommodation."

Someone behind him echoed, "Yes, young and middle-aged people can come out to rescue people like us to earn points, and the elderly, women and children can also find jobs in the inn to make a living."

When the people on the mountain heard about this good news, they all came forward and asked, "Really? Is there such a good thing?"

"What are these points? Can they be used as silver? I still have some silver on me, can I spend it at the inn?"

"I, I don't have any money, can I stay in an inn?"

"Is there any food in the inn? We haven't eaten for several days. Can you give us something to eat first?"

"..."

There were so many people asking questions that Lin Chenyu didn't know which one to answer first, so he held his hand down, signaling everyone not to rush.

But those people were anxious for answers, so no one listened to him.

It was the old man who spoke again, and everyone finally quieted down.

Lin Chenyu said: "Old man, our inn will provide everyone with food, clothing, shelter and transportation. Even orphans can support themselves by fishing. You can rest assured to bring your people to stay.

Just say the word and we will take you to the inn."

The old man thought that there were so many of them and he was not afraid that they would do something bad, so he nodded and agreed.

"Thank you very much. I am willing to take these people to the inn to stay. After the flood recedes, I am willing to pay a large sum of money to thank you for saving my life."

Seeing the leader nodded, Lin Chenyu immediately pulled the boat to the side and asked people to rescue the elderly, the weak, women and children onto the boat first. At the same time, he took out the walkie-talkie and asked his future father-in-law and several uncles to bring people to support.

After all the people were on board, the old man boarded Lin Chenyu's boat with a few of his nephews and guards.

Through communication, Lin Chenyu learned that the old man's surname was Xie, and he was originally the richest man in Lechang Prefecture. However, in order to find his daughter over the years, they have spent a lot of effort and have no time to run their business well.

In addition, there is a force that has been suppressing them over the years, so their business is becoming increasingly difficult.

However, they still have some assets, and after the flood is over, they will definitely thank their benefactors for saving their lives.

When Lin Chenyu heard the old man's surname was Xie, he felt vaguely familiar. When he heard him say that he was the richest man in Lechang Prefecture, Lin Chenyu remembered it.

Isn't that female ghost called Xie Sanniang? I once heard her say that her family was a famous wealthy merchant in Jiangnan.

Isn’t this all right!

So he asked calmly, "You just said you were looking for your daughter. I wonder if something happened to your daughter?"

The old man was stunned for a long time before he spoke: "Well, this is a long story. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you, but more than ten years ago, my most beloved youngest daughter fell in love with a poor scholar.

I felt that the man had a crooked look in his eyes and was not a good match for her, so I did not agree with them being together.

Who would have thought that my daughter would break off relations with us for him. My wife was so angry that she fainted on the spot, but she couldn't make my daughter give up that man.

In the end, the little girl followed that man and the lady fell ill and never recovered.

It was not until a year later that I received a letter from my daughter, saying that her husband had passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official in the capital, and that she was living a good life now.

She also said that she was wrong and shouldn't have cut off relations with us. She asked me and her mother to take care of our health and come to Beijing for a visit when we have time.

When my wife saw the letter, she felt much better and turned a blind eye as I sent my daughter some banknotes and the deeds to several houses and shops in the capital.

I originally thought that maybe I was mistaken and that my cheap son-in-law might not be a bad person, so I thought about giving them more money so that they could live a better life in the capital.

Who would have thought that after that time, we would never hear a single word from our daughter again.

I asked several of my nephews and nephews to go to the capital to find the address my daughter mentioned, but someone else was already living in that room.

Over the years, we have used countless manpower and resources, but have not been able to find our little girl."

"What about your cheap son-in-law?"

"I heard that he married the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and later became a high-ranking official step by step. Although we have been keeping an eye on him for so many years, we have no news about his daughter, and we can't do anything to him."

After hearing this, Lin Chenyu was 100% sure that the people in front of him were Xie Sanniang's father and brother.

But he was very curious, did Mr. Xie's family really care about their daughter so much? They had been looking for her for so many years and had not given up.

So he considered carefully and said, "You haven't found the person in all these years, maybe..."
