Confiscated my property and exiled me, I emptied the emperor's old nest to escape famine

However, something unexpected happened.

Before Ye Fei started to move, he saw a dozen refugees found their place to stay.

As soon as they came in, they saw the Ye family and the Wang family busy at work.

Then they shouted hoarsely, "Someone, someone..."

"There's someone here! There's someone here!"

"Come in, come in!"

Soon, refugees continued to pour in from the cracks in the mountains.

After seeing the lively and energetic Ye and Wang family members, the refugees felt like they had found a life-saving straw.

Many people fell to the ground, tumbling and crawling, looking at the people from the Ye and Wang families with pleading faces:

"You...you are also refugees seeking refuge here, right?"

"Save us, save us..."

"We...we are so hungry and thirsty."

"Please, please..."

This sudden change frightened both the Ye family and the Wang family.

They all perked up and looked at the refugees with vigilance.

Those who are smart have already gone to find Ye Qingfeng and Wang Xiangjun.

Ye Qingyun also kept Ye Fei and the others by his side to prevent the refugees from rioting.

But this is just the beginning.

Because more and more refugees are pouring in from the cracks in the mountains.

They all followed suit and knelt on the ground, praying.

The refugees looked really pitiful.

They had unkempt hair and pale lips.

Although their faces were dirty, it did not prevent Ye Fei from seeing at a glance that they looked sallow and lacked nutrition.

The most important thing is that even from a distance, Ye Fei could smell the sweat and other mixed and unpleasant smells coming from the refugees.

Ye Fei frowned as he watched the scene.

She stepped forward, looked at the refugees kneeling in the front, and asked, "How did you find this place?"

The connection between this settlement and the outside world is a narrow mountain crevice.

Normal people wouldn't go to a place like this.

"Someone fell down when I was passing by just now."

"He looked inside and saw that someone was living there."

"So, we sent a dozen people to take a look at the situation first."

"I didn't expect there would be so many people."

The refugee looked at Ye Fei with hope.

Although the Ye family and the Wang family had some sympathy for these refugees, they were still very cautious about taking food and other things from them.

At this time, Ye Qingfeng and Old Lady Ye also rushed over with other members of the Ye and Wang families.

They did not deal with the refugees directly, but came to Ye Fei's family:

"Girl, what do you think about this matter?"

Old Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Fei and asked for her opinion directly.

"We, the Ye and Wang families, are where we are today because of your contribution."

"So whatever you say, we will listen to you."

No one objected to what Mrs. Ye said.

Because what Old Mrs. Ye said was true.

When the refugees saw Old Lady Ye asking Ye Fei for her opinion, hope lit up their faces.

In their opinion, Ye Fei is younger, more compassionate, and easier to deal with.

Therefore, they all looked at Ye Fei with pleading eyes: "Girl, girl, please be kind."

"Save us, save us..."

"We just need one bite to drink and one bite to eat."

Ye Fei looked at the pleading eyes of the refugees, then looked at the eyes of the Ye and Wang families and spoke expressionlessly:

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but we don't have any extra food to help you."

The refugees' eyes suddenly dimmed.

An atmosphere of decadence and despair suddenly spread among the refugees.

Many of them even lay on the ground like dead people and didn't want to move at all.

Some of the younger children seemed unable to bear it and started crying.

But because of lack of water and dryness, even if they cry, they can't make normal sounds.

Ye Fei only saw the children's mouths opening and closing.

The people from the Ye and Wang families felt a headache when looking at these refugees.

Just then, some refugees noticed the place where the Ye and Wang families used water.

Their eyes suddenly lit up: "Go there quickly, go there quickly."

"There is water there. Let's go drink some first."

After the refugee who spoke first finished speaking, he stumbled towards the water source.

When the other refugees heard the news, they stopped lying still and stopped begging Ye Fei and the others.

All the refugees put all their efforts into running to the water source and drank water frantically.

Ye Fei only felt that the refugees in front of him were rushing past as fast as a thousand horses galloping.

Only a pile of dust remained in the air, choking the people from the Ye and Wang families.

"It seems that our peaceful days are about to be disrupted."

"They actually found a place like this."

Ye Qingfeng looked at the group of refugees with a serious expression.

Then, he sighed and looked at the people from the Ye and Wang families: "Do we really have to move away?"

"These refugees have come and they will definitely not leave."

"If they lived here like us, it would be impossible for both sides to coexist peacefully."

“There are so many of them, but they have nothing.”

"When they see us having food and drink, how can they remain indifferent?"

Ye Qingfeng and Old Lady Ye looked at Ye Fei vaguely.

Ye Fei narrowed her eyes and then looked up at everyone and said, "Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others."

"The arrival of these refugees is definitely not a blessing for our two families."

"Everyone, take care of the most important items and pack them up."

"We can leave here anytime if necessary."

Ye Qingfeng and Old Lady Ye both knew the seriousness of the matter, and they nodded in agreement with Ye Fei's opinion.

"Did you hear what Fei'er said?"

"Everyone go back and keep a close eye on each other."

Ye Qingfeng waved his hand and asked everyone to disperse.

Ye Fei believed that people from the Ye and Wang families were both smart.

Although Ye Qingfeng's words were not direct enough, the hint was already very clear.

He just wanted everyone to be more prepared for the refugees who had just poured in.

Ye Fei looked in the direction of the group of refugees again.

She guessed that the refugees were too thirsty these days.

Because a group of them had been drinking around the water source for a long time and had no intention of leaving.

Just at this moment, Ye Fei saw a woman from the Ye family coming back from the water source and complaining with a bad face:

“Those people are crazy.”

"Drinking water makes all the water sources turbid."

"If we want to get some more water to drink, we probably have to wait until the water settles down."

When the lady of the Ye family said this, she looked at Ye Fei with admiration: "Fei'er is still smart."

"I heard from your parents that you always prepare drinking water at home in advance."

The Ye family woman muttered doubtfully at this point, "But I don't think I've ever seen you go there."

Other members of the Ye family who were passing by sneered at the woman and said, "Isn't it normal that you didn't see it?"

"Fei'er is not only blessed, but also hardworking."

"When did she go so that you could see her?"

The woman no longer had any doubts, and started to argue with the Ye family member.

Ye Qingyun and Lin Xue'e looked at each other helplessly.

To be honest, the drinking water at home has always been prepared by Ye Fei.

However, they had never seen Ye Fei fetch water from the water source.

They also didn't know when Ye Fei prepared it.

It’s just that they knew Ye Fei’s abilities, so they never asked about it.
