Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

Chapter 50: The Little Beggar Escaping from Famine

If a natural disaster occurs, Wuyue Town or the entire Dayuan Dynasty will not be able to escape the invasion of drought. Not only will the people have no food or clothing, but if foreign enemies take advantage of this opportunity to invade... In the era of cold weapons, war is no joke. The enemy will attack one city after another. If they encounter some ruthless characters, they may even massacre the city, making the entire country miserable.

How can there be eggs under the cover of the nest?

How could a small Linjia Village remain immune?

If war or natural disasters really happen, where is our way out?

……

Fleeing? ...

Not to mention, if we don't consider the disaster of war, just encountering a natural disaster, those who can leave must leave! Those who stay where they are will most likely die.

Then, in addition to talking about the situation of the refugees who had fled, the boss even took advantage of the time when there were no other customers to talk to a few girls about the recent rise in food prices in the town.

After listening to what her boss said, Lin Xiaoyue's heart was already in turmoil.

Only after leaving the noodle stall did Lin Xiaoyue, with a serious look, and she and Lin Zhaodi took the two little kids into a quieter, secluded alley. She expressed all her concerns and discussed them with Lin Zhaodi.

After all, Lin Xiaoyue had experienced the most difficult living environment in the end times. The days of hunger, sleepless nights, and living in fear every day and struggling to survive were chilling to think about.

It was precisely because of experiencing such despair that Lin Xiaoyue knew more clearly that if a natural disaster occurred in ancient times, the situation would be no better than it is today, and it might even be more difficult.

Food is always the top priority.

For Lin Zhaodi, the days of hunger and cold she experienced in the old house of the Lin family a few years ago are also unforgettable.

After careful consideration, the two sisters decided to use the money from selling wild animals to buy food, clothing, and some daily necessities.

At this time, Lin Zhaodi was no longer stingy. After all, compared to money, being able to keep the family alive was the most important thing.

Now that the matter had been decided, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi did not hide from the two little ones and quickly drew up the types of items that needed to be purchased urgently. It didn't matter if there were too many things, as they had the Qiankun bag (space) to put them in. However, they had to leave some behind to conceal their tracks.

Although the two little ones didn't quite understand what their sisters said, they knew that something big was going to happen, so they didn't make a fuss at the moment. Instead, they held their sisters' hands obediently, waiting for them to finish discussing before going shopping together.

After agreeing on the matters and having a direction for the next step of planning, Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi were no longer so panicked. They just felt that perhaps when God wants to give a person a great responsibility, he must first make him suffer. This was God's way of tempering them.

After leaving the alley, the sisters found a simple and kind-looking aunt, asked for the approximate location of the grain store, and after thanking her, they started walking and headed straight for their destination.

……

The warm midday sun dispelled the chill that came with rushing to town in the early morning.

It is the season of spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue again. Under the warm sunshine, people are made lazy.

Wuyue Town is very lively, with shops lining both sides of the street. It is also a big market town with people coming and going, and it is very bustling with people jostling each other.

Xiaoyue and her sisters held hands and walked along the road pointed by the kind aunt. They noticed that there were many wine shops, restaurants, grocery stores, ironware shops, cloth shops, teahouses, banks, pawnshops, etc. on both sides of the bustling streets. The green bricks and tiles, the eaves of the pavilions, and the decorative lattices all revealed an ancient and charming atmosphere.

If she hadn't been worried about the coming of famine, just this step and this style would have been enough to make Lin Xiaoyue linger.

The four sisters of the Lin family walked through the crowd and found a large grocery store.

Just as the auntie said, the things inside were very complete, including basic pots, pans, rice, flour, grains and oils for daily use.

"Go away, where did you come from, beggar? Go away and don't block our business."

The waiter's narrow and shrewd eyes glanced at the patched clothes of the little girls and immediately identified them as little beggars fleeing famine. He waved at them and drove them out of the store.

The two little kids were obviously frightened by the waiter's rude and contemptuous attitude, and they nervously pulled their sisters' hands and backed away.

Lin Xiaoyue looked coldly at the arrogant and arrogant guy who looked down on them with his nose, obviously looking down on them. She held Xiaowu's hand tightly and stood still, staring coldly at the guy who walked in front of her.

The clerk didn't expect that the beggars who came to beg for food today would be so bold. Even after he had driven them away, they were still blocking the door of the store. Isn't this bringing bad luck to him and stopping him from doing business?

Just as he was about to reach out and push her away, his eyes unexpectedly met Lin Xiaoyue's eyes, which were as deep and cold as the water in a deep pool.

For some unknown reason, the guy shuddered and stopped.

"What? You're driving the business away with the door open? Does your boss know that this is how the hired guys work?"

Lin Xiaoyue just took a step forward, and the guy felt an invisible heavy pressure coming towards him.

Are you kidding? Lin Xiaoyue did not hold back and released the murderous aura that lingered around her. How could an ordinary person bear this? In an instant, the guy's back was soaked with sweat, and he fell to the ground with trembling legs.

At this time, a thin old shopkeeper walked in leisurely from outside the store carrying a few cakes. Suddenly, he ran into the waiter slumped on the ground. A little girl stood opposite him with a cold look, like a murderous god descending, which made people shudder. Behind her, an adult and two children also stared at the waiter with anger.

The old shopkeeper was startled and immediately pulled himself together to greet him.

"I'm sorry, girls. This boy has been so reckless and has offended you. I apologize for this." The old shopkeeper came up and slapped the waiter, who was slumped on the ground, on the back of his head without saying a word. Listening to the "pop" sound, it seemed that he was really honest.

Then, he turned around and apologized to Lin Xiaoyue and the others in a gentle voice.

Seeing their humble attitude towards the old shopkeeper, Lin Xiaoyue and the other girls couldn't vent their anger on him.

Besides, the guys were used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak, so when they saw the four girls in tattered clothes, they looked down on them. To be honest, it was just human nature, and they didn't cause any real harm to them. He made himself look down on them by being too fussy.

Immediately, Lin Xiaoyue suppressed her murderous aura and retreated to Lin Zhaodi's side, took the hands of the two little kids, and left the rest of the negotiations to Lin Zhaodi.

At this time, the well-mannered Lin Zhaodi also took over the conversation tacitly, pointing at the clerk who was slumped on the ground and said calmly, "Boss, we want to buy some food and household items, but this clerk drove us away before we even opened our mouths. We sisters want to ask, are you still going to open your business?"
