Hearing this, Jiang Chuyue's heart sank.

The matchmaker carefully observed the changes in Jiang Chuyue's expression, "These are the best ones. Originally, they could be sold for more than two hundred taels, but since Manager Zhang and I are old acquaintances, I'll give you a discount, two hundred taels!"

Fortunately, Jiang Chuyue was relieved to hear that the price was within the budget. She took out two hundred taels of silver and handed it to the matchmaker, "Thank you very much."

"You're welcome. If Boss Jiang needs anything else, just let me know. If you need anything in the future, just let me know in advance and I will give you the best stuff." The matchmaker took the money with a smile on her face, even though she knew that as the owner of a grain store, Jiang Chuyue would not be short of money.

But after doing business for so many years, the matchmaker knew very well that many wealthy families were very stingy when it came to doing business. She originally thought that if Jiang Chuyue wanted to bargain, it was not impossible to negotiate.

Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was so generous, the matchmaker naturally hoped to do more business with Jiang Chuyue.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to keep a closer eye on them." Jiang Chuyue did not refuse the matchmaker's kindness. It was already too late for her to start training her own people now, not to mention that she had only selected a few people this time.

It is still far from Jiang Chuyue’s set goal.

After much thought, Jiang Chuyue decided to go to the refugee camp. Although Manager Zhang didn't know what Jiang Chuyue was up to, he decided not to say much or ask any questions, so he asked the servant to drive to the refugee camp.

As soon as you step into the refugee camp, a foul smell hits your nose. The refugee camp is full of people, and it seems like there is no end in sight.

"How many people are there in the refugee camp now?" Jiang Chuyue didn't expect the situation in the refugee camp to be so bad.

"There must be about three to five thousand." Shopkeeper Zhang also sighed. Their place was just a small place, and they were really powerless to deal with the sudden influx of such a large number of refugees.

"So many people?" Even though Jiang Chuyue had already made an estimate, she was still shocked when she heard this number.

"Isn't it? There are more and more people coming now. I heard that there is a famine in the south, and many people are fleeing here. I don't know how they heard that the price of food is not expensive here, so they all come here." Shopkeeper Zhang often heard people mention the situation in the refugee camp during this period.

In addition, Jiang Chuyue was also concerned about the people, and often asked their grain shops to make donations outside the city.

Jiang Chuyue was silent for a moment, then walked inside. An unpleasant and complex smell rushed into her nose. Jiang Chuyue forced herself to suppress the discomfort, and walked back and forth several times before she selected several people with good physiques, intending to take them back for training.

"Miss." Just as she was about to leave, a dusty man rushed up.

The servant and Shopkeeper Zhang subconsciously protected Jiang Chuyue and looked at the man with vigilance.

"Do you have something to talk to me about?" Jiang Chuyue looked at the man with a scrutinizing look. After looking him up and down, she unexpectedly discovered that the man had thick calluses on his hands.

"I know martial arts. If you accept me, young lady, and give my brother and me food to eat, I will do whatever you say." The man's eager eyes made Jiang Chuyue dazed for a moment.

Shopkeeper Zhang was also unsure. Seeing that Jiang Chuyue hadn't expressed her opinion for a long time, he mistakenly thought that she was unwilling, and hurriedly drove her away, "Go, go, go, we are here..."

"Are you confident that you can use your martial arts to provide food for you and your brother? Do you know how precious food is nowadays?" Jiang Chuyue spoke, interrupting Shopkeeper Zhang.

"I know food is expensive, but I can risk my life for it. As long as you dare to use me, I will never let you down." The man had noticed Jiang Chuyue as soon as she stepped into the refugee camp.

Seeing that she had chosen several children who had lost their homes, and looking at her brother who was dizzy from hunger, the man decided to take the risk and buy a way to survive.

Jiang Chuyue was moved by the extreme desire to survive in the man's eyes. She knew that such a person, if she stayed, would definitely repay the kindness. Such a person, who had experienced so much suffering, would do anything to survive.

"Okay, bring your brother and follow us." Jiang Chuyue looked at the man for a long time, and finally gave in when the man was about to feel disappointed.

Seeing Jiang Chuyue turn around and leave, the man hurried back to pick up his brother, and hurriedly caught up with the carriage. The carriage was not going fast, but the man had not eaten for many days and was carrying a child of five or six years old, so his strength was gradually running out.

Even so, he still insisted on getting on the carriage, holding his brother who had fainted from hunger.

Jiang Chuyue observed through the car window for a long time. Seeing that Jiang Chuyue seemed to think highly of the man, Zhang couldn't help but ask, "Boss Jiang, do you really want to keep him?"

"Why not?" Jiang Chuyue chuckled. This was exactly the kind of person she wanted, someone with a strong will and some martial arts skills. Such a person would try his best to survive and would be easier to train.

Not to mention, he has a weakness that is clearly visible to everyone.

Jiang Chuyue, who originally felt unsatisfied with this trip, felt relieved after finding such a candidate.

"Find a place for these people to settle down and let them replenish their nutrition for a few days." These people have been hungry for many days. Even if they have something to eat, it is just barely enough to fill their stomachs.

Everyone is skinny. Even if such a person has the potential to learn martial arts, his foundation is too poor and he still cannot succeed.

Shopkeeper Zhang knew what Jiang Chuyue meant and quickly agreed. After sending Jiang Chuyue away, he immediately had someone set up a yard and threw all the children in it.

"Your future master is Boss Jiang Chuyue. Boss Jiang is thinking that you have been hungry for many days, so he will let you eat more in the next two days to recuperate your bodies."

With Jiang Chuyue paying the money, Shopkeeper Zhang was not stingy at all. He bought a lot of good things like meat and eggs, and even specially hired an old lady to cook for them.

……

On the other side, Jiang Chuyue returned to Wanshan Village alone. After a day of running around, she finally had a chance to have a good night's rest. However, she didn't expect a carrier pigeon to visit her in the middle of the night.

Jiang Chuyue opened the note delivered by the carrier pigeon, which said that she should meet at the back mountain at three o'clock in the morning.

Jiang Chuyue didn't hesitate at all. Seeing that it was almost three o'clock in the morning, she went straight to the back mountain. However, she didn't expect that the person who came was Mo Jingchun.

"Why is it you?" Jiang Chuyue couldn't hide the surprise in her words at all.

"Something happened at Shuiyun Pavilion." Mo Jingchun's face was terribly cold, and his words made Jiang Chuyue break out in a cold sweat. "Xiao Yihao is seriously injured and is now lying on the hospital bed waiting for you to save him."

"In the end what happened?"
