"If we don't flee, are we going to stay here and die?"

"Lu Yanzheng's family, why don't you say something? Why can't we just go and escape the famine?"

"Yes, tell me, our village has nothing to eat now, and all the crops in the fields have died from drought. Are you the one left to support us?"

"..."

Jiang Qinyu stared blankly at the dark crowd under the straw stage, her face full of confusion, and a chaotic array of images flashed through her mind.

Oh my god! She actually traveled through time!

She had just inherited her scumbag father's supermarket chain and was about to live a completely idle life, but how did she travel through time?

Just wear it, why let her wear it in this famine year when she can't even have a full meal?

Seeing everyone below staring at her, Jiang Qinyu opened her mouth, and suddenly a mechanical voice sounded in her mind:

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully activating the portable supermarket system! ]

Jiang Qinyu shuddered and was overjoyed. She actually had a system!

So, after sorting out the whole story, Jiang Qinyu didn't hesitate and said, "Why are you running away? I have nothing to eat or drink. Do you think running away won't kill me fast enough? Anyway, I'm not leaving!"

"Oh, look at her tone. Could it be that Old Man Lu still has food stored at home?" someone said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Chen, the original body's mother-in-law, put her hands on her hips and immediately retorted, "Who is it? Who said that? Yesterday, those people from Qinggang Mountain came and stole all the grain in our village. My house is at the entrance of the village, and we were the first to be robbed!"

Jiang Qinyu recalled the scene at that time. The Lu family was indeed the first to suffer. If her former husband had not dug a small cellar in their house and hid some food, the Lu family would probably be as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Lu Yanzheng was drafted into the army on the day he married his original self. Now, six years have passed and there is no news of him. People in the village are saying that he died on the battlefield a long time ago.

"Alright, alright, stop talking." The village chief hated women arguing. He frowned at Jiang Qinyu and asked, "Lu Yanzheng's family, why don't you let everyone escape the famine?"

When this woman heard that they had to flee the famine just now, she reacted the most strongly. She actually ran onto the straw platform and loudly told everyone not to flee the famine. This was very different from her usual dignified and elegant image.

Hearing this, a complicated look flashed in Jiang Qinyu's eyes.

Just a quarter of an hour before she came here, the original owner was reborn due to heatstroke and dehydration!

Fortunately, the memory of her rebirth was also in Jiang Qinyu's mind, so when she was questioned by the village chief, she would not be speechless.

"Village chief, I know everyone has little to eat at home right now, and seeing people from the neighboring villages fleeing famine, we are worried.

But Dai Viet has been suffering from drought for three years, and we are located on the border. Even if we flee the famine now, let alone whether we can survive, can we compete with the refugees from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River?

In the original body's previous life, all the people in this village went to escape famine, but not long after they set out, they were robbed by other refugees, and more than half of them were killed or injured. Later, they encountered bandits and wars, and no one in Dingshui Village survived.

Jiang Qinyu's words silenced everyone.

After three years of severe drought, the imperial court had long since run out of food reserves. In the past six months, people from all over the country had been heading to Jiangnan, known as the granary of Dai Viet. If they went there now, they would probably die on the way before reaching Jiangnan.

Just think about it and you will know that the food and water sources found on the road are limited, and people are treacherous. No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents on the road. Can they rob others?

But what else could they do if they didn't flee? Would they stay in the village and wait to die?

"So you mean we shouldn't run away?" The village chief was in a dilemma. The whole village was waiting for his decision, and with so many people's lives at stake, he didn't dare to make a decision lightly.

Jiang Qinyu glanced at everyone and looked into the distance, "It's definitely not possible to flee now..."

Before she could finish her words, the voice that had just said that the Lu family had food rang out again, "That's ridiculous! You talk as if you can find food to feed us."

Jiang Qinyu glanced at the person who was speaking. It was Mrs. Wang, who had some conflicts with the Lu family. She understood it, but now was not the time to argue with her.

Jiang Qinyu continued, "As long as we tighten our belts, our original food supply should last us another two months, right?"

"So what? Now the food has been snatched away by those damn people from Qinggang Mountain!" The village chief's brows were furrowed into the shape of the Chinese character "川" carved with a knife and an axe.

Jiang Qinyu sneered, "Then let's go get it back!"

Given the current situation in Dingshui Village, let alone fleeing the famine, even if they stay here, they can't hold out for a few days. How can they survive without food or water?

Thinking of the mechanical sound that just sounded in her head, Jiang Qinyu felt a little relieved. After all, she had a golden finger.

Although she still doesn't know what this golden finger is, she would rather stay here than fleeing in the dark. A familiar environment is better than hanging out there.

"Robbery? You, Lu Yanzheng, are crazy. Looking around our surrounding area, who would dare to rob the bandits on Qinggang Mountain?"

"Yeah, there's not even a ghost on the road. We can't even find help. How can we rob?"

"Why are you all grown men listening to a little widow like that? Women are always short on knowledge and wisdom. What does she know? In my opinion, we should pack up and leave as soon as possible. We might even catch up with the people from Xiahe Village who left yesterday. We can talk to them and leave together, and there might even be a way out..."

Jiang Qinyu was speechless after hearing this. This guy is simply an idiot!

In their previous life, the original owners and their companions were used as cannon fodder and pushed in front of the criminals by the people of Xiahe Village!

Besides, what's wrong with the widow? Did the widow eat his rice?

After a burst of crazy complaints in her heart, Jiang Qinyu took a deep breath and interrupted them, "There are a total of 56 households in our village, nearly 100 young and middle-aged men, and 70 to 80 women over 18 years old.

There are only about 200 bandits on Qinggang Mountain. We are not at a huge disadvantage in terms of numbers. As long as we plan well and risk our lives to catch them off guard, we will definitely be able to take it back!"

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't stay safe in this chaotic world, Jiang Qinyu wouldn't bother talking to this group of people.

After hearing her analysis, the crowd exploded again.

"What? You're going to rob women too? Aren't you pushing us women into the fire?" It was Wang Po who said this again.

Someone immediately responded, "Yeah, yeah, what can a woman do? She'll definitely be a drag if she goes. Don't let us men get dragged down..."

"Li Tiezhu, what did you say? Say it again!" Some women with hot tempers would explode immediately when they heard their men say that they were not good enough.

Just as the noise was raging below, a thin figure scrambled to Jiang Qinyu's side, tugging at her sleeve and anxiously saying, "Aunt, hurry up, go save Pan'er, Uncle Lu has sold Pan'er!" "A new book is here! Please support it. If you like it, please vote and follow the update. Love you~"
