Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

"Let's go, here's our chance to make a fortune.

Heipi, you performed well this time, the woman on the ground rewards you."

When Scar heard that there was water, his eyes started to dance and he picked out twenty people to seize the water source overnight.

What the refugees lack most now is water, followed by food.

He sells it at a reasonable price, twenty cents for a small bucket, and there are definitely a lot of people buying it.

At this time, Lin Shu didn't know that the puddle she dug would soon become someone else's fortune-making site.

...

"Boss, there really is water."

“Hahahaha, now it’s official.”

“Brothers, work hard, this is a rare place to make a fortune.

Our delicious food and drinks all depend on this puddle."

Scar lay in the puddle and drank a lot, but still felt unsatisfied, so he simply squatted in the puddle to wash himself.

“Go, dig a few more pits, so that the brothers can wash well.

Oh, that’s fucking awesome.”

'Wow~'

The men spread out and dug out puddles of water, drank guzzlingly, and then squatted in them and didn't move.

A good source of water has been turned into a muddy pit by the disaster.

...

“Selling water! Selling water!

Twenty cents a bucket, no cheating, first come first served."

Hei Pi was carrying a mini bucket and shouting hard in the circle.

Ten buckets filled with water and earthenware jars were lined up in a row.

A group of fierce-looking men, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, surrounded the water so that no one could get in or out.

Scar sat on a rock with an empty basket in front of him.

The one-eyed man held a coat and fanned Scar in a servile manner.

"Water, there's water!"

When the hungry and thirsty refugees heard that water was available, they rushed over in droves.

"Gu~dong~, there is really water."

"Good man, please give us some water!"

"Puff~Boom~"

……

The refugees who wanted to get something for nothing were forced to beg for mercy as the weak due to the absolute disparity in force.

"Go, go, go, go, are you all deaf?

Twenty cents a bucket of water, if you continue to make trouble, it will be thirty cents a bucket of water."

Hei Pi spat at the refugees fiercely, these people really want something for nothing!

If they want to get free food from the boss, I will definitely make sure they don’t see tomorrow’s sunrise.

The refugees who couldn't squeeze in felt their hearts bleed when they saw the buckets leaking.

How can we waste a bowl of water like this when it can save a life!

The refugees who were willing to pay were shocked when they heard that the price was going to go up.

They looked down upon refugees who were begging on their knees.

Don’t you see what time it is now? There is no reason to get it for free.

It's obvious that these people are not easy to deal with. The right thing to do is to pay the money and leave quickly.

"Sir, I want to buy five buckets." Village Chief Tian said, holding up his purse.

"Come, come, pay here, one hundred coins."

When Scar heard someone calling him "Young Master", he immediately became delighted.

‘Shua~’

The refugees' eyes all fell on their wallets.

Envy, greed, jealousy, resentment.

Chief Tian squeezed his way in despite all the looks from the refugees, his thin, dark face covered in sweat.

Five young men followed closely behind, carrying buckets of water and each holding a handy stick in their hands.

"Hua~Hua~", the copper coins poured into the basket made a crisp sound.

Scar narrowed his eyes in a smile; this was the first time he made money using legitimate means.

My waist straightened a little.

Chief Tian's heart was bleeding, but he had to endure it in order to stay alive.

When Chief Tian saw the mini bucket for measuring water, he choked and felt like vomiting blood.

One hundred coins, and the wooden barrel he brought was only half full.

Village Chief Tian gritted his teeth, took out a silver coin and handed it to Scar, saying respectfully.

"Sir, another two hundred coins of water."

"Okay, you seem to be sensible.

In this area, if anyone dares to steal your water, just come and find me."

Scar's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he patted his chest and made a boast.

The refugees who wanted to eat for free looked away when they heard this.

"Thank you, sir!"

Chief Tian was still worried about how to escort the water back.

Now, having received Scar's promise in public, he was so happy that he kept bowing.

The refugees watched helplessly as half a bucket of water disappeared, and no one dared to grab it in front of Scar.

Along the way, many refugees knew Scar's reputation.

Without absolute power, no one would want to cause such a big trouble.

"I'll buy five barrels."

"I'll buy five barrels, too."

Seeing that the water was getting less and less, the refugees began to take out money.

The amount of silver and money in the basket increased, and more and more refugees received the news.

When there was only one bucket of water left, the refugees held up their purses and squeezed in desperately.

"Fifty cents a barrel. I want it."

"I'll give you sixty cents, and no one can snatch it from me."

"I'll give you a hundred coins."

"Damn it, if you're stupid and have a lot of money, go die!"

"Hit him, beat him to death!"

Seeing the scene in chaos, the refugees actually started fighting among themselves.

Scar's scalp tightened. He stuffed the silver coins in his arms and said to his confidant One-Eyed Dragon.

"Put on the money, bullshit."

A group of people who made a fortune took advantage of the chaos and left, waiting for the refugees to fight to the death to decide the winner.

Not to mention water, even the moist soil was scraped away.

"Bah, what the hell."

Blacksmith Wang spat fiercely into the distance and touched his swollen cheek, grimacing in pain.

"Tiezhu, there must be a water source nearby."

"Dad, there are so many people here, even if we find a water source, it won't be our turn!"

Wang Tiezhu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and felt a headache when he saw the groups of refugees.

"Never mind, I'll go look for it first."

Blacksmith Wang tied a string of water bags around his waist and pulled out the dagger hidden on his leg and held it in his hand.

The tiger's eyes glared, scaring the refugees who were looking over and making them look away.

"Dad, be careful!"

Wang Tiezhu looked at the people who left with concern. He was worried about his mother, wife and children, so he had to go back to take care of them.

Wang Tiezhu glanced at the endless number of refugees on the official road.

I don’t know when these days will end.

When they received the news that the government was going to forcibly conscript them, they fled overnight and the whole family was able to survive.

They were almost at the provincial capital, and the government had stopped recruiting soldiers, so they did not dare to enter the city at will.

A child's face flashed through Wang Tiezhu's mind. Fortunately, he was more careful at the time and made preparations early.

I hope I can meet that child one day!

...

The Bird's Nest team, which was ready to go, saw a group of refugees appear before them. Everyone picked up their weapons and stared at the refugees warily.

‘Shua~’

All the refugees' eyes were scanning the members of the Bird's Nest team, even the ground.

"Look, there are traces of water splashing there." A refugee pointed to the mud next to the stove.

"Yes, they must know where the water is."

"Let's go ask them."

With one person taking the lead, all the refugees immediately surrounded the Bird's Nest team.

It seems like a war is about to break out if there is any disagreement.

Uncle Wu, a burly man, tightened the butcher knife in his hand.

The moment he was surrounded by refugees, he almost threw away his butcher knife.

But when he heard that they were looking for water, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He pretended to be calm and told the refugees the route, but in his heart he hated the people who had been exposed last night.
