Happiness System
Chapter 372: True Gold's Escape 34
Meng Yuxi smiled, "No wonder this place is called Fish City! Look over there, there are some too!"
So many fish!
Fish City seems to be a favored land. The local fish have not mutated much, and their size and taste are almost the same as normal fish.
Seeing so many fish, Meng Yuxi couldn't control her hands from getting excited!
In fact, she was just sitting around doing nothing and there was no need to control herself. She immediately changed her clothes, found some tools, and took Xiao Xia to the stairs to catch fish.
Of course, Wen Yujin would naturally not let her do it herself. She gave the orders and the guards did the work.
These guards were probably going crazy, and Meng Yuxi's bait was too useful, so they just grabbed it and ran away through the water.
Meng Yuxi was also tired from playing, so she went back to take a nap.
When she woke up, the guards had already caught several hundred kilograms of fish!
The area next to Yucheng is rich in coal. Before the flood, Meng Yuxi had people buy a lot of black coal. In the short term, the Wen family will not be short of fuel.
Fish could not be stored in this weather, so the kitchen generously prepared a meal of grilled fish and fish soup for everyone. A few of the remaining fish were given to the neighbors on both sides, and the rest were pickled and prepared for smoking.
After eating fish for four consecutive days, the rain finally stopped and the flood receded rapidly.
When the water level receded, the local residents were overjoyed. They pushed out their ancestral boats and rowed out to catch fish and anything edible.
The food-scarce people of Daqi, who belonged to a foreign race, knew that these fish were edible and tasted good, so they all rolled up their trousers and went into the water to catch fish.
Those who have some money and are afraid of catching a cold and getting sick are willing to spend some money to buy fish. The main reason is that there are so many fish, and the price is really very low!
While everyone was still enjoying the joy of catching fish, the sky cleared up and the temperature rose steadily.
In less than two days, the rain-soaked land hardened.
The people of Daqi set out again.
"The next stop is Wucheng, the desolate Wucheng! The government has ordered us to rest here for two days and collect supplies!"
Everyone understood immediately that there was no need to think about getting supplies at the next stop, and they would have to rely on their old savings!
Meng Yuxi continued to cheat. Their food was almost used up. If she didn't make some effort, she would have to eat the disgusting mutated food with everyone else.
"Brother Jin, have you decided who you want to form an alliance with?"
When they set out from Yucheng, the government published the shipbuilding drawings, and anyone and any family could copy and print them.
Along the way, the Wen family has consciously begun to stockpile wood and recruit manufacturing talents such as carpenters.
Although there is a lot of wood stored up, the carpenter has not found a suitable one yet, nor has he decided on anyone to form an alliance with.
Originally, the Wen family also wanted to reserve a place for the Meng family, but the Meng family had too many in-laws, which was too much of a burden.
Meng Yuxi and Wen Yujin discussed it and decided to exclude the Meng family, but the Wen family had few masters. If the Meng family was willing, they could reserve eight or ten positions for the Meng family, limited to the direct descendants of the Meng family.
Wen Yujin led his wife into the dense forest, "King Kang and King Huai have expressed their intention to form an alliance, and the Lin family and other families...
Prince Huai's family tradition is not very good, and they also want to bring in Princess Huai's mother's family, so this family can be ruled out.
The Lin family can form an alliance, and King Kang can also consider...
What I mean is that three families are enough. If there are more, it will be difficult to suppress them and conflicts will easily arise. Besides, everyone will definitely bring their relatives along.
Plus, the government also asked us to bring some civilians with us, so we need to control the number of people."
Meng Yuxi listened to him quietly before asking, "Can we civilians choose for ourselves? Or will the government assign us when we reach the destination?"
"You can choose freely, but I guess the government will allocate some to you in the end. I have asked Wen Cheng to find Cen Lei, and we also need to recruit some people now."
Luo Hui was one of the luckier people. After getting separated from her son in the storm, she stumbled along for a distance with the other team members.
She was a bold person. When the team was running out of ammunition and food, she shamelessly approached the Meng and Wen families. She followed them through several storms and arrived safely in Yucheng.
After the water in Yucheng receded, Cen Lei found their team and took her back there.
Wen Yujin went to find Cen Lei, one reason being that he wanted him to bring people to join him, and the other was that he wanted him to select some useful people from among the civilians.
At the same time, the Wen family also needs to add some guards.
In fact, the Wen family has more than just a few dozen people. Some of them are private soldiers. When fleeing famine, about a hundred of them pretended to be civilians and mixed in behind the large group.
Now Wen Yujin also wants to take this opportunity to arrange everyone back.
Meng Yuxi didn't want to get involved in these complicated matters, and seeing that he had his own arrangements, she didn't say much.
He silently released his supernatural powers to promote the growth of crops, and from time to time he collected the wood chopped down by Wen Yujin.
The more of these things, the better.
"Brother Jin, there are so many berries here!"
Wen Yujin looked at the land he had just walked on, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his wife became even more unrestrained!
At least cover it up?
Meng Yuxi didn't care. She squatted down and picked and ate the fruits. There were too many people here and it was a rare opportunity to steal some!
It is inconvenient for her to stuff the food into the space while eating. Now she needs to collect more things, otherwise it will be difficult to cheat when she gets to the sea!
"Brother Jin, is it delicious? Is it sweet?"
Seeing Wen Yujin squatting down helplessly to help her pick strawberries, Meng Yuxi stuffed one into his mouth.
Wen Yujin nodded, bit the strawberry into pieces and swallowed it before saying, "It will take about ten days to get to Wucheng. The supplies in Sucheng behind are not that good either, but they will be better than Wucheng.
If there hadn't been a natural disaster, we wouldn't have stayed in these two cities for long."
Meng Yuxi understood immediately. She bit a strawberry and said vaguely, "There are too few of us!"
"Wen Cheng and Wen Qing have already gone to find people. We have experience in making carts and horse-drawn carriages, so there is no need to worry about other aspects!"
Meng Yuxi nodded when she heard that, and after picking the strawberries, she dragged Wen Yujin across the mountains and fields.
Later, she was so tired that she refused to leave and asked Wen Yujin to carry her on his back.
Wen Yujin shouldn't be too happy, he should carry her on his back and walk faster.
On the other hand, Cen Lei was not very happy in the team. Everyone had changed a lot after a few months of separation. When the Wen family came to him, he agreed without hesitation.
That day, he and Yang Yi took more than 20 people to join the Wen family.
Wen Cheng and Wen Qing also found the Wen family's private soldiers who were scattered among the civilians, but they only found less than eighty people out of more than one hundred people.
When Meng Yuxi exhausted her superpowers and returned to the camp, she saw a group of ragged people. The corners of her mouth twitched, "Aren't these refugees? Brother Jin, you are too stingy!"
Wen Yujin's mouth twitched. I asked you to pretend to be refugees, but I didn't really ask you to be refugees!
Refugee subordinate: Master, you don’t know that it is really difficult to survive without an organization. We are lucky to be alive. Don’t worry too much about other details!
In a word, in one sentence: without organization, we cannot live a wonderful life!
Meng Yuxi also felt sorry for these people. The Wen family only taught them martial arts and combat, but did not teach them how to survive.
If we throw them into the refugee pile, it would be strange if they don’t become real refugees!
"Xiao Xia, how much supplies do we have left? Can we give those people some clothes and shoes?"
I, a beggar, really can’t stand looking at this bunch of beggars!
Xiao Xia paused and shook her head. "It's not enough. We only bought a few dozen pairs of shoes in Yucheng, and there are only more than 30 sets of ready-made clothes left. How about we cut the fabrics and send them down to them and ask them to sew them themselves?"
Meng Yuxi was surprised by this suggestion, "They can also sew clothes?"
Xiao Xia replied nonchalantly, "It shouldn't be a problem. They usually repair holes in clothes themselves. The clothes are already cut, so it's just a matter of sewing them. At most, the stitching is a little off."
She would not say that she came up with this idea because she did not want to spend money or supplies, but was afraid that outsiders would covet their fabrics.
Meng Yuxi didn't even think of looking for women who knew how to sew among the refugees to do the work, mainly because she was afraid that it would affect people's food collection.
After all, it is not easy to collect a month's food in two or three days.
After thinking about it, she agreed to Xiaoxia's proposal.
The guards who returned to the Wen family were also confused. In such an abnormal period, they were still sending out shoe release materials? Is there such a good thing?
When we finally got the food, we ate hot fish soup in the evening. A group of people beat their chests and stamped their feet, thinking that time was running out. Why didn’t we win the lottery? It turns out that being with the master is so happy!
"Qingqing...Hey, Dashitou, what are you doing with me?"
As soon as Luo Hui got close to Meng Yuxi, she was pulled away by Cen Lei. She struggled in dissatisfaction, but when she failed to break free, she slapped him hard on the back.
Cen Lei pulled her far away and then asked angrily, "What do you want to do, mother? Have you ever thought about how Qingqing will cope with being a nanny? It is well known that you are Qingqing's adoptive mother. Aren't you trying to get people to poke Qingqing in the back?"
Cen Lei felt like he was going crazy. After being separated for half a year, his mother seemed like a different person. She was always humble and habitually trying to please people. This became even worse after she returned to the civilian team for a few days and then returned to the Wen family.
Luo Huilian froze, wiped her tears and said: "I didn't think so much, Qingqing is used to being served, and she has only one maid left from her two maids, I thought she must be in a lot of trouble, so I wanted to help..."
"Mom, when we were in the desert, Qingqing didn't have a maid by her side, but she was able to take good care of herself!"
This happened again! Cen Lei had a headache, "Mom, I beg you as your son! It's my son's incompetence that made you suffer, but you really don't have to worry about it anymore. We have officially joined the Wen family now. We won't be hungry anymore. As long as we don't do anything wrong, no one will drive us away..."
"Mom, promise me that you won't get close to Qingqing anymore and won't make things difficult for her, okay? She has already paid back what she owed the Cen family, now the Cen family owes her!
Can we all be fine and stay calm?
If you feel too bored, can I go to the kitchen to help out?"
Luo Hui cried for a while, and only felt a little better after her son persuaded her again and again. Then she agreed to change herself.
Meng Yuxi didn't know about those things and didn't take them to heart. When Luo Hui came up to her to please her, she knew that Luo Hui wanted to mend the relationship between mother and daughter, but she didn't think about other aspects.
Besides, when she was stationed there, she followed Wen Yujin and ran all over the mountains every day. Except for sleeping, she didn't stay in the camp for long.
As the team moved forward, it became even more difficult for Luo Hui to get close to her.
