The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Sui Dan was almost in despair after hearing this, "Then we will all starve."

Cheng Feng comforted Sui Dan and said, "That's not the case! Isn't there a city ahead?"

Sui Dan asked, "Can that city be better than this place?"

Cheng Feng said: "It can be strong, after all, my uncle is there, can he just watch the people starve to death?"

Sui Dan said: "Cheng Feng, what are you thinking? You have to leave some for yourself. Why don't you leave some way out for yourself when you do this? Do you know how far the distance between the two cities is?"

Cheng Feng also pointed at the refugees queuing in front of him and said, "Look at so many people. I just want to save some food for myself. Can I keep it?"

Sui Dan said angrily: "Don't blame our boss for saying that you are not cut out for business. You will lose money no matter what you do!"

"Is that what my uncle said about me?" Cheng Feng was surprised. His uncle used to show admiration for him in front of him, so how could he assert that he would lose everything he did just after he had been away for two years?

Sui Dan said, "I added the last sentence myself, but how can we leave here now? If you dare to move, they will surround you."

The refugees in the queue obviously realized that Cheng Feng had nothing to give them, but they refused to give up and refused to leave. They were waiting for Cheng Feng to find a solution, and Cheng Feng saw it. Suddenly, two people in the queue fainted on the ground.

Cheng Feng hurried forward to check. Both of them were quite old and looked skinny. It was obvious that they had fainted from hunger.

Seeing this, Cheng Feng quickly said to the people who were still queuing up without giving up: "Everyone, please disperse. I have no food left." Cheng Feng thought that if they continued to queue like this, more people would fall down soon.

But not only did they not want to leave, they begged Cheng Feng: "Great sir, please be kind and give us something to eat!"

Cheng Feng had nothing but money, and more than ten of his people were also hungry. However, facing these poor people, Cheng Feng decided to think of a way. If these people could eat a bowl of hot porridge, they could survive for another two days. He asked the refugees: "Do you know where to buy food?"

The people said, "There is no one selling food on the street. All our food has been handed over to support the war. Only a few wealthy families in the city still have food, but they will not give it to poor people like us. Not to mention that we are so poor that we don't even have a piece of steel plate on our bodies, even if we have silver, we can't buy food from them. Now in Chaizhou, no matter how much money we have, we can't buy food."

Cheng Feng thought for a while and said: "Since I can't buy food, I will go and borrow some. If I can borrow it, I will give you rice porridge. If I can't borrow it, you just have to endure for two more days. I will ask my wife to bring some food from Fengying and give everyone rice porridge." This is the best idea Cheng Feng could think of!

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down to thank Cheng Feng. They had been plundered for several months and finally someone was willing to help them.

Sui Dan said leisurely, "Cheng Feng is really crazy. I won't be here with him distributing porridge. I have to go to the military camp."

Suiying already knew what Cheng Feng was like, and was no longer surprised. However, he still talked to Suidan and said, "Suidan, you stay here with Cheng Feng. There are a lot of people here, so don't let anything go wrong. I'm in a hurry to go to the military camp to see the boss, otherwise I'll stay and accompany Cheng Feng to borrow food."

Sui Dan said angrily: "I will starve to death if I stay here with him!"

Sui Ying said, "He couldn't bear to see the refugees starve to death, so how could he possibly let you starve to death? You stay here to protect Cheng Feng, I'll go first."

Cheng Feng looked at Sui Dan and thought that there was nothing he could do if he stayed. He said to Sui Ying, "Let Sui Dan go with you."

Suiying said, "We have few people with us this time. I will send one back to deliver the message. I will take two more with me. There won't be many people left here."

Cheng Feng thought about what Suiying said and felt that it made some sense.

Then he and Suiying split into two groups. Suiying continued on his journey towards the next city, while he took the rest of the people to find food.

They walked all the way to the west end of the city and saw a large family from afar. The family was surrounded by high walls and had red doors and jade bricks, which looked very solemn and luxurious.

Cheng Youning pointed to the front and said excitedly: "Dad, this Zhai Mansion looks well-off, so they must have a lot of food stored."

Cheng Feng nodded slightly. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that a wealthy family must have stock. Then, he waved his hand and asked someone to go and knock on the door.

There were three clear knocks on the door, and after a moment, the door slowly opened a crack, and a burly, fat, and big-eared man walked out. This man was the gatekeeper of the Zhai Mansion. He sulked and looked up and down at the group of uninvited guests standing in front of the door, and asked in a stiff tone, "Who are you?"

Cheng Feng took a step forward and said politely, "We are from the Cheng family of Fengying. We came to your house this time because we have something important to discuss and we want to see your master."

However, the gatekeeper responded indifferently: "My master doesn't recognize any Cheng from Fengying."

Cheng Feng was not discouraged. He asked again sincerely: "Please be flexible and tell the master of your house that I have an urgent matter to discuss." While speaking, Cheng Feng calmly took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it to the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper took the silver and weighed it in his palm. A barely perceptible smile appeared on his face. He softened his tone and said, "Well, if that's the case, you guys wait here for a while while I go in and report to the master." After that, he closed the gate again and strode towards the inner courtyard.

I don’t know how the gatekeeper reported to his master, but he actually got the master of the Zhai Mansion to agree to let Cheng Feng enter the mansion to talk to him.

Cheng Feng bowed politely and said, "I am Cheng Feng, I am sorry to bother you as I passed by your place today! Please forgive me!"

Master Zhai was sitting on the armchair, looking Cheng Feng up and down. After a moment of silence, he asked, "From your accent, you are not from Fengying either?"

Cheng Feng responded: "I've been traveling for the past two years, so my accent has changed a bit."

Master Zhai frowned, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Although I often go to the business world, I have never heard of the name of the Cheng family in Fengying. I wonder which Cheng family in Fengying you belong to?"

Mr. Zhai was a shrewd businessman and naturally knew a lot about the famous families in various places.
