Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

"It's just as you said. Life in this world is difficult and we have to be cautious. You can be cautious of us, and we have to be cautious of you as well. Food is precious. Even if I'm not a bad person, I should have no obligation to tell you?" Although she understood, Shi Anan still hated being used.

Before, she saw them holding weapons and chasing people away, and she treated them so badly. Now that she sees that they are not short of food, she comes up to them and asks where the food comes from. Although she wants to recruit more people to Guangming Village for construction, it does not mean that she has a soft temper and is easy to bully.

Yang Wenchuan lowered his head again and continued to plead, "It was our fault before. It's just that our village is really short of food right now. We may not be able to survive until the next autumn harvest. Please forgive my rudeness, young lady. If you can tell me where to find food, I will be very grateful."

Shi Anan waved her hands: "Don't blackmail me morally. Whatever you do is your business. You have your own stand and you have nothing to do with me. You don't need to ask for my forgiveness. As for the food, we don't have enough. Please go back. We will leave here tomorrow."

Seeing Shi Anan's stubborn look, Yang Wenchuan felt a little disappointed. He could only sigh and leave sadly.

Seeing this, Yan Fei asked Shi Anan: "Miss Shi, are you really not going to take care of them?"

Shi Anan squinted at Yan Fei and said, "Why? Do you think I'm so magnanimous that I want to control everyone?"

Yan Fei chuckled: "Miss Shi, you are kind and righteous. You took in so many of us. I thought you would also help the people of Dahe Village."

At this time, Xiao Yi, who was standing aside, said succinctly: "That depends on them."

"Ah?" Yan Fei's face was full of question marks. What did this mean?

Shi Anan snorted and laughed, patting Xiao Yi on the shoulder: "You still understand me, little beauty."

Then he kindly explained to Yan Fei: "The village chief of Dahe Village is a proud man who will not be content to be inferior to others. You can see that he is able to bend and stretch for the villagers and put down his face to beg me. I know that he is a man who can do great things."

"I saved you because you were all willing to follow me to Guangming Village and you are considered my own people. But it's not necessarily the same for him. Even if I tell him that we are from Guangming Village, he will only think about how to trade with me for food instead of willingly joining Guangming Village. If that's the case, why should I help them? I don't lack anything except people."

Although they had only been in contact for a short while, Shi Anan also saw what kind of person Yang Wenchuan was.

"Then what does this have to do with them? And if they have no food, won't they starve to death here?" Yan Fei still didn't understand.

Shi Anan continued to explain: "It depends on what they mean. It depends on whether the people in their village are willing to give up Dahe Village and go to our Guangming Village. Only when they are willing to join, that is the sincerity. Don't worry, their village chief will definitely not watch his people starve to death here. Do you think he won't send someone to keep an eye on us after we leave?"

"Forget it. I'll just use their territory to rest for a night. If they can find Guangming Village by themselves, I'll help them. As for now, let's just forget it."

If they can give up Dahe Village and find Guangming Village on their own, just like the people in Changle Village before, then they can better integrate into Guangming Village and devote themselves to Guangming Village.

If Shi Anan was soft-hearted and invited them to go to Guangming Village now and provided them with food, but they still would not be content to stay in Guangming Village after receiving the benefits, then she would be losing both the wife and the army.

Moreover, there are quite a lot of people in their village, and there are also quite a lot of people in the town. The two groups together are more than half the number of people in Guangming Village now. There is no guarantee that there won't be some small team conflicts. Even if Shi Anan is short of people, she has to proceed step by step.

Yan Fei said "oh" as if he understood, but why should he think so much? As long as Miss Shi knew the answer, that would be enough.

Shi Anan's consideration was not unnecessary, because many people in this town were willing to follow her to Guangming Village only because she could provide food. When they first arrived in Dahe Village and saw the situation in Dahe Village, some of them wanted to stay here.

After all, Guangming Village was not a good place in their impression. Rather than going to a place where they didn't know what was going on, it was better to see it with their own eyes.

However, the food shortage in Dahe Village and their xenophobic attitude discouraged those who had thought about it. They wanted to stay here, but the villagers did not welcome them. So they decided to just follow Miss Shi.

If these people want to keep their hearts completely in Guangming Village, they must wait until they get there and then slowly integrate into it. Although Shi Anan has confidence in Guangming Village, if the number of outsiders exceeds the original number of Guangming Village, it will be hard to say who will have the final say at that time.

This night was spent with everyone's minds in turmoil.

Early the next morning, Shi Anan and the others began to pack up and prepare to go into the mountains. Seeing that they were about to leave, the people in Dahe Village who were secretly observing them became a little anxious.

I ran to ask Yang Wenchuan: "Village Chief, they seem to be leaving, and they still refuse to tell us where the food is. What should we do after they leave?"

Yang Wenchuan pondered for a while and said, "They said they came from the mountains. They must be from a village in the mountains that was lucky enough to escape the disaster. Find someone to follow their team, remember the way, and see where they came from."

Although stalking is not a gentleman's behavior, for the sake of survival, you can't care about that.

However, Yang Wenchuan did not expect that Shi Anan and the others had already guessed their behavior. Even if they found someone following them, they did not react. Since the fish would not take the bait, let them see how good the fish pond environment will be in the future and let them swim over by themselves.

Shi Anan and Xiao Yi looked at each other, and they tacitly agreed not to remind others that they were being followed. And with the insight of other people in the town, they probably didn't notice the little tail following them silently.

On the way back, even though Shi Anan and the others had walked the mountain road once and were familiar with the conditions on the road, their speed was still much slower than when they first walked.

The reason was very simple. Although they were not familiar with the road conditions when they came, there were only two of them after all. With Xiao Yi leading the way in front and carrying Shi Anan who was slow to walk from time to time, and with Shi Anan's timely logistical supplies, their speed naturally would not be much slower.

But on the way back, not only were there so many more people, they also had to carry luggage, and there were also many women and children who walked slowly. In order to prevent them from falling behind, they had to slow down.

So, this time when I went back, the time I spent was exactly twice as long as the time I went there.
