I rely on the system to support my eighteen brothers and sisters

Qiao Linbao looked back and saw a very burly man. He wanted to grab the porridge, but the man had already drunk it in one gulp.

The eleven-year-old boy's eyes instantly turned red, and he raised his small fist to hit the man.

"Linbao, forget it." Qiao Linxi held Qiao Linbao, and the man proudly showed off the empty bowl.

"I'm sorry Sister Lin Xi, if I were older, no one would bully us."

As Qiao Linbao spoke, tears rolled out of his eyes, which made Qiao Linxi feel a little distressed.

"It's okay. You're a man now and can protect your brothers and sisters." Qiao Linxi patted Qiao Linbao on the shoulder and said, "Take your brothers and sisters away to rest. I'll see if I can find a way to get some food in the city."

"I'll go with you."

Qiao Linxi shook his head: "You are the oldest boy in our family, you have to be responsible for protecting your younger brothers and sisters. I can do it alone, there will be no problem."

Qiao Linbao glanced at the group of brothers and sisters and nodded: "Well, Sister Lin Xi, don't worry, I will definitely protect my brothers and sisters."

Seeing Qiao Linbao taking his seventeen younger brothers and sisters away, Qiao Linxi breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was not too bad. At least all the children were obedient and united.

Qiao Linbao knew that Qiao Linxi was the oldest among their group of children. As the saying goes, an eldest sister is like a mother. They had to listen to Qiao Linxi and they had to unite in order to have hope of survival.

Seeing the children walking away and sitting together in a circle as Qiao Linxi had instructed them to do before, Qiao Linxi breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards the city gate.

The porridge had been distributed long ago, and the county magistrate and his men quickly retreated back to the city, leaving only a few people to guard the city in case the refugees broke into it.

"Stop, no one is allowed to approach the city gate."

As soon as Qiao Linxi approached, an officer drew his knife and pointed it at her.

"Sir, don't get excited. I won't go in." Qiao Linxi quickly raised his hand and said.

"I'm telling you refugees, there's no food left in the city. Leave now if you want to survive."

Qiao Linxi nodded: "I know, I know. I'm not going into the city. I just want to ask where to get to the next city."

"I don't know, don't bother me!"

"Mr. Official..." Qiao Linxi's eyes turned red. She used her acting skills again and grabbed the official's hand: "Can you find me a map? I want to get to the next city as quickly as possible with so many brothers and sisters. With a map, we can avoid unnecessary detours."

"Sir." Seeing that the person she was pulling didn't move, Qiao Linxi reached for another person's hand and said, "Please be merciful. Look over there. Those dozen children are my brothers and sisters. As the eldest sister, I have to take care of them. Please find me a map. Please."

As she spoke, Qiao Linxi started to cry, her eyes were full of tears, and the official blushed a little.

"Alright, alright, don't cry in front of me. It's bad luck. I'll help you find a solution."

Perhaps moved by Qiao Linxi's tears, the officer took action, said something to his companions and went back to the city.

Qiao Linxi just stood there waiting. Many people who had eaten the porridge nearby kept thanking the county magistrate, saying things like he was the reincarnation of a living Bodhisattva.

Those refugees have no intention of leaving. They just stay here. Maybe the government will distribute porridge to them tomorrow.

Qiao Linxi collected gratitude points while waiting, and as she watched the gratitude points rise, she gradually became happy. She quickly drew a lottery, and was awarded a bag of flower seeds.

Alas, we must not get carried away. Qiao Linxi shook his head and combined this flower seed with the previous one to form a pack of large flower seeds. The rest were wooden boards, which Qiao Linxi used to combine into a lunch box. This lunch box is quite difficult to upgrade.

A first-level lunch box requires ten wooden boards, and one steamed bun is produced each time, once a day.

Two level one meal sets can be upgraded to level two, producing two steamed buns each time, twice a day.

To upgrade from level 2 to level 3, you need two level 2 lunch boxes, six steamed buns each time, three times a day. A level 3 lunch box requires forty wooden boards.

If you want to upgrade to level four, you will need two level three lunch boxes, which means you will need eighty wooden boards.

Level 5 requires two level 4 ones, which requires 160 wooden boards.

Level six...

Uh, Qiao Linxi is confused. Anyway, I can use the gratitude points to draw a lottery.

After waiting for about half an hour, the person who was pulled by Qiao Linxi at the beginning felt a little bit sorry when he saw Qiao Linxi, a pretty girl, had her face reddened by the sun.

Said: "Girl, come closer, this place can also block the sun."

"no need."

Qiao Linxi smiled and refused.

Perhaps because he saw that Qiao Linxi was innocent, the man spoke again: "How about you come here and I'll let you go into the city."

Qiao Linxi shook her head again: "Thank you for your kindness, sir. If I were alone, I would definitely go in, but I have so many brothers and sisters that I won't go in and cause trouble for you, sir."

The conversation between the two was heard by the people next to them. A woman who didn't get to eat the porridge became unhappy and stood up and walked towards Qiao Linxi.

"Sir, please let me in."

The officer glanced at the woman and ignored her.

The woman immediately became unhappy and said loudly: "Why let her in but not us? Is it because this little girl is pretty?"

Qiao Linxi glanced at the woman and said nothing. The woman felt like she had punched cotton.

"This is incredible. Young girls nowadays are so powerful that they can hook up with the police to get backdoor access. Everyone come and take a look..."

As the woman spoke, the people around her started to make a noise. When the woman saw that someone was making a noise, she spoke even more excitedly.

"You are still young and don't learn good things. All you have learned is how to seduce people."

Qiao Linxi glanced at the woman and said, "This lady is old but still hasn't learned well. She keeps saying slanderous things."

"You..." The woman was only in her early twenties, still young, but she was so angry when Qiao Linxi described her as old.

"I... I'm going to beat you to death, you little bitch. You're just relying on your youth and beauty to seduce the police. I'm not going to tear your face off."

The woman raised her hand excitedly and was about to hit Qiao Linxi. At this time, the official who went into the city to find a map for Qiao Linxi came out and saw this scene and scolded him.

"What are you doing? Want to cause trouble? Believe it or not, I will kill you."

The officer actually drew out a knife as he spoke. The woman was so scared that she took a few steps back. These officers were really capable of killing people.

"Girl, take the map you asked for and leave quickly, otherwise you will be in trouble if you can't reach the next city before dark."

The officer handed a package wrapped in cloth to Qiao Linxi. Qiao Linxi was stunned when he took it. There were other things in the cloth bag.
