Taking space to escape famine, Sister Wan killed everyone along the way

The refugees outside the city didn’t know that while they were hesitating, the entrance fee had increased by another 40%!

After entering the city and seeing the scene inside, the four people felt a little depressed. The situation in the city was not good. People were ragged, looked listless, and haggard, like walking corpses.

But the overall situation is still better than outside the city.

Qin Qingyun stepped forward and grabbed an older man. This older man was in a better mental state. When he saw someone pulling him, he turned his head in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qin Qingyun smiled his trademark smile and said, "Brother, I want to ask you something."

Seeing this person speak politely and elegantly, the elder brother's expression improved a little. "What's the matter? Tell me."

Qin Qingyun: "Where is the place in this city that sells salt?"

The elder brother pointed and said, "Here, follow this road and go straight ahead. When you reach the third fork, turn right. Go all the way to the innermost part, turn left again. Then go straight ahead and reach the second fork. Turn right and you will find the second house!"

But I must remind you, everything is expensive in this famine year. The price of salt is three or four times higher than before, so you should be aware of this."

The big brother was a kind-hearted man. Seeing their dusty appearance, he knew that they were refugees fleeing famine. Thinking of the elevated entrance fee at the city gate, he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathy for these people.

He doesn't look like he's rich. I guess he's gathered the whole village to come to the city to buy supplies. I'd appreciate any suggestions you can give him.

"Thank you for the reminder, big brother. We saved it. May I ask you one more question? I heard there is an ancient well in this city..."

The elder brother looked at him and took a deep breath. "Let me tell you the truth, young man. Don't think about the ancient well. The water in that ancient well can only barely feed the people in the city every day. And the water is not free. The ancient well is guarded by officials. Every morning, all the people in the city have to line up. A bowl of water costs ten cents! And it's limited!

As for you outsiders, you've been here before. If you want water, a bowl of water would probably cost ten taels of silver. I saw a wealthy merchant buy some before."

"Ten taels? Hiss~" Several people gasped when they heard it. Even if they sold all of them, they still couldn't buy a few bowls of water.

The elder brother was also somewhat helpless, "Ten taels sounds like a lot, but in front of life, it's just a number.

Rich people will buy it, and poor people will die. Just like us, living in the city, don’t we have to spend money to buy water? Now everything is going up in price, and no one can afford to live happily. Otherwise, look at these people... "Big Brother pointed at the pedestrians who were like zombies, with a look of lamentation on his face.

Qin Wanwan stepped forward and said, "Uncle, there's a loophole here. City dwellers pay ten coins for a bowl of water, while outsiders pay ten taels of silver. So, wouldn't it be better for outsiders to pay more silver when buying water from city dwellers?"

"Who will give it? Who dares to give it? A bowl of water a day is enough to keep my family alive. Who would disregard their lives for silver?

Moreover, the government has long said that if city dwellers dare to sell water to outsiders, then the entire family will not be allowed to drink a drop of water from then on!

In this situation, if it were you, would you dare to sell it? "Big Brother curled his lips, the little kid in front of him was too naive.

After hearing this, the few people felt depressed. It seemed that finding water in the city was not feasible.

Mountains and rivers are full of doubts and there is no way out, but there is another village with dark willows and bright flowers!

If one way is blocked, another way will be opened. The elder brother turned his head and saw the straw sandals, backpacks and other things placed on their ox cart.

"Hey? Do you want to sell this?" The older brother pointed at the straw sandals with a happy look on his face.

"For sale! Do you want to buy?" Qin Xiaoshu was delighted and quickly picked up the straw sandals. "Look, these sandals are woven sturdily and are guaranteed to last!"

The elder brother looked at the straw sandals back and forth with a look of satisfaction, "Yes! How many pairs do you have? I want them all!" The elder brother was very rich.

Several people were so surprised that they could hardly close their mouths. "All these? You want them all?"

"Yes, I want them. I have a grocery store at home, so I can sell them! And I want all these backpacks, but you have to give me a better price."

Things have been uneasy recently, and the people are poor. Plus, the weather is hot, so wearing these straw sandals is perfect. They keep you cool and save on shoes.

Someone asked about this last time, but you can only enter the city but not leave. If you want to go out, no matter whether you are a city resident or not, you have to pay a city entrance fee. So except for those who do business and have big businesses, no one is willing to go out.

"Okay, price is not a problem. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. Then we'll deliver it to you first and then go buy some salt!"

They didn't discuss the price on the street, as there were so many people coming and going and it was crowded, so they decided to wait until they got to the store to discuss it.

Even though there is a severe drought now, because of the ancient well, few people in this city flee from famine. For those who flee without knowing whether they will survive, their life in the city is just a little difficult, not fatal.

The four of them drove the ox cart to the door of the eldest brother's shop and saw a young man walking out. "Dad, why are you here?"

This man is the eldest brother's son. He is very handsome and has an elegant temperament. He is of the same type as Qin Qingyun. No wonder the eldest brother has a good impression of Qin Qingyun.

"I'm here to bring you some business. Look, here are some straw sandals and a backpack!"

The young man came over and nodded to the others, then took the baskets and straw sandals and looked at them. "These are good things. How much do you plan to sell them for?"

"Straw sandals are four wen a pair, a large backpack is eight wen a piece, and a small backpack is five wen a piece."

The price Qin Qingyun mentioned was one cent lower than usual. This price was also agreed upon by the villagers. In this chaotic world, it was a blessing to be able to sell these useless things!

After hearing this, the man immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay."

In the end, there were a total of eighty pairs of straw sandals, ten large backpacks, and twenty small backpacks, which sold for a total of five hundred coins.

After saying goodbye to Big Brother, Qin Wanwan separated from the three people.

"Dad, Uncle Feng, Uncle Xiaoshu, you guys go buy things in the village, I'm going out for a walk."

Before Qin Qingyun could say anything, the other two looked at her with concern, "Fu Wan, why don't you come with us?"

After all, we are unfamiliar with this city, and the villagers are all outside. If something really happens, the villagers can't come in. This is not a forest.

Qin Qingyun spoke up, "It's okay, she came in just to go shopping by herself. Let's hurry up and buy something. She'll be fine."

After all, she painted her face like that.

Qin Wanwan also smiled and said, "Yes, how do you feel when you look at my face now?"

Both of them: "..." They were speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to tell the truth or lie.

Qin Wanwan: "See, you all have this reaction. Others look at me and want to vomit. It couldn't be safer. And with my martial arts skills, who do you think can beat me?

Even if I can beat him, he'll be vomiting just looking at my face!"
