Surviving the famine: I made my fortune by helping others

"How long will it take to reach Yunshan County?" Ye Chuyi asked casually.

"If we walk fast, we will arrive in more than an hour, and we can rest peacefully at the city gate at night." Wang Yongshou answered subconsciously.

After saying this, he realized that he wasn't asking him, and his face became hot. "I was confused as an old man, and I accidentally said something too much."

"Uncle Wang is joking," Ye Chuyi waved his hand nonchalantly, "Uncle Wang seems to know a lot about Yunshan County?"

Speaking of this, Wang Yongshou instantly became proud. "To be honest, I think I know Yunshan County better than any of you. When I was young, I visited Yunshan County quite a lot."

After walking for so long, everyone was already tired, and when they heard someone telling a story, they all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Wang Yongshou did not hesitate and started introducing them directly.

When he was young, he learned carpentry from his master. His master's home was in Yunshan County, so he often went to Yunshan County, sometimes staying for many days.

Although life as an apprentice was hard, whenever he had free time, he would wander around Yunshan County with his fellow apprentices. Even if he had no money to buy things, he would still visit every place.

Most young people liked this opportunity to broaden their horizons than others, and Wang Yongshou and his friends were no exception. So, at that time, they could almost count all the streets and alleys in Yunshan County.

But after I returned to the village and took over the position of village chief, I didn’t have as much free time anymore. I went to the county town less and less, let alone came to Yunshan County.

Although he had a thorough understanding of the former Yunshan County, now that the people had suffered a great disaster, Yunshan County must have undergone many changes, but he didn't know how many similarities there were with the past.

Ye Chuyi rubbed her fingers thoughtfully. If she wanted to go to Yunshan County to buy things, she certainly couldn't go alone. Having someone who was familiar with the situation there would probably save her a lot of trouble.

"Uncle Wang is a capable man. He can take people to Yunshan County to do some shopping later. I believe that with you here, we can definitely save a lot of effort."

Thinking of this, she said it out loud.

"Miss, are you planning to go to Yunshan County tonight?" Wang Chengde asked uncertainly.

"Can't you?"

Ye Chuyi didn't realize anything was wrong.

She will go to the county town tonight to buy some things. Then she can find an inn to have a good rest for the night and set off early tomorrow morning.

It’s wonderful to think about.

"No, it's just that when we arrive at the gate of Yunshan County at night, the city gate should have been closed. By then, we will definitely not be able to get in."

Wang Chengde's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and he didn't dare to look at the young lady's expression again.

"When will the city gates close?"

Ye Chuyi's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly. She actually forgot about closing the city gate.

"Normally the city gates would be closed at the end of the You hour, but now there is a famine, and in order to prevent a large influx of refugees into the county town, the officials will close the city gates in advance."

What Wang Chengde didn’t say was that although the city gates were closed, it didn’t mean you couldn’t enter at all. It just depended on whether you could afford the entry and exit fees.

"The city gates are closed at twilight hour, so it's already twilight hour now, right? It's more than an hour away. If we hurry, can we get into the city before the gates are closed?"

Ye Chuyi tugged at the reins eagerly. She really wanted to take a shower and didn't want to sleep on the hard ground anymore.

"If we go there on horseback, it should be faster."

Zhao Wenzhu seemed to have seen through her thoughts and directly led the three horses over.

"We have three horses in total. If two people ride one, six people should be able to go. I just don't know who the young lady is going to let into the city."

"Well, I'll ride one horse, and the four of you will ride two horses. Once we enter the city, we'll split up into two groups, and you four can go together to buy the things the team needs."

Ye Chuyi made the final decision. She didn't want to ride a horse with others.

"Pick who to let go."

"Miss, Miss, I want to go, I want to go, take me with you, I will definitely not run around."

Du Jiayi raised his arms high, eager to try, and even after being slapped a few times by his mother, he still had a playful smile on his face.

"You can go if you want, as long as you are not afraid of being beaten by Aunt Du."

Ye Chuyi looked at him with a smile, then quickly turned his eyes away.

"Uncle Wang, you can come with us. You are familiar with Yunshan County and can help them with shopping."

"I, am I going too?"

Wang Yongshou clenched the wooden stick in his hand in disbelief, and quickly waved his hand.

"The old man is old, and I'm afraid it will delay his work if he goes. Let Cheng De go with them. I will tell them everything I know."

Ye Chuyi quickly glanced at their team. Except for a few people she was familiar with, everyone else looked listless. It didn't look like they would buy things just because they could.

"How about this, Uncle Wang, Wang Chengde, Zhao Wenzhu, Du Jiayi, you guys go together, as for what to buy, just discuss it among yourselves.

As for those in other villages, if they need to buy anything, you can help bring it back."

Although they didn't have much food left after fleeing the famine, everyone had packed up before setting off, and they should have some money in their hands, so they should have enough to buy some food or something.

As expected, as soon as she finished speaking, people who were nearby began to discuss in groups of three or four, and pulled a few people together to start thinking about what to bring.

Ye Chuyi did not participate, but just looked at the sun very skillfully, "If you want to buy anything, tell them as soon as possible. We will leave in a quarter of an hour."

The discussion in the crowd was getting louder and louder. Some were surprised and happy, while others looked lonely. Ye Chuyi saw it all.

Unfortunately, she is neither a saint nor a philanthropist with too much money to spend.

Although I couldn't bear to see people starve to death, I could do nothing about it.

[Ding——, the task of helping the villagers escape from the wolf pack has been completed, reward system points*25, silver*50, random lottery tickets*2.]

[Ding——, a helping task has been detected. Please help every villager in the team to get food.

Task progress 0/483.

Mission successful, reward system points*50, silver*100, random lottery tickets*4.

Mission failed, second level electric shock penalty*10 minutes. ]

Ye Chuyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and just as he thought of this, he skipped the task.

However, the task points actually increased, and there was an extra random lottery ticket, which was interesting.

It looks like they are forcing her to complete the task.

This 0/483 doesn't mean the number of people in the team, right?

Forced binding is a bit annoying.
