The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble
Chapter 151 Shortcut
"I've already said that this time, every household must buy enough water for ten days. Anyone who buys water for two or three days will not be allowed to borrow water from the village later. Don't think I'm joking. Now is a time of famine, and I won't tell you how important water is."
"Normally, if there is no drought, it is no problem for everyone to lend things to each other. However, at this time, saving your own money and borrowing water that others have spent money on is too much. No one is stupid. If you still want to take advantage of others at this time, don't blame others for not helping you when you are in trouble in the future."
After the village chief finished speaking, he looked at everyone again. Some people lowered their heads in embarrassment.
"Village chief, it's my turn now. I'll tell you what I heard. I asked a brother who is about my age. He said that the prices in the county are not high. Even though there are so many refugees at the city gate. It is said that the government issued a notice in advance not to allow businesses to raise prices too much. They have to give the refugees outside the city a way to survive."
"However, this county town is not very big, so there are only a few grain shops in the city. And the grain shops limit the purchase quantity every day. So, we probably won't be able to buy too much grain this time." Old Man Wu said regretfully.
"There's nothing we can do about it. This county is too small. However, it's a blessing for us to meet such a good official. Let's limit the quantity. When the time comes, we can go to a few grain stores and buy as much as we can." The patriarch said helplessly.
"Yes, we bought some food in the capital last time. This time, what we mainly lack are water and heating supplies. I guess there should be no limit on the purchase quantity." said Yun the Butcher.
"Brother Yun is right. I asked that big brother and he said that apart from food, there is no purchase restriction on other items."
"In addition, I specifically asked about the cattle and horse market. The big brother said there is a big cattle and horse market in the county. There are a lot of cattle, horses, mules, and donkeys for sale there. The prices haven't increased much compared to before the drought."
"So, I thought everyone can think about what they want to buy tonight. It will definitely be cheaper if we buy them together then." said Old Man Wu.
"This is good news. I thought this county town was not big and cattle and horses were hard to buy. I didn't expect that the cattle and horse market in this city is so big." The second elder said in surprise.
"That elder brother said that the government encouraged the villagers to raise cattle and horses in order to earn more income. Once they were well raised, the government would be responsible for buying them. I heard that the government had channels to sell these animals. It was only because of the drought and the unsafe roads that the government did not transport them out."
"Normally, there aren't that many cattle and horses in the market. So we're lucky this time."
"That's good. Judging from the actions of the government, the prices of cattle and horses will not increase too much." The elder of the three tribes said affirmatively.
"This is the first time I went out to inquire about information, and I didn't dare to ask too many people. So I only asked this big brother for so much information." Old man Wu said embarrassedly.
"Old man Wu, you have found out a lot of important information. You have done a great job." The elder of the three clans praised.
"I have joined our village now. I am very happy to be able to help the village." Old Man Wu said happily.
"Well, with people like you joining us, our village will become better and better." The chief elder affirmed.
"Yun the Butcher, what news did you hear today?" The village chief turned his gaze to Yun the Butcher.
"Village chief, I have inquired with the soldiers guarding the city and found out that the entrance fee is 100 coins per person. You can enter when the city gate opens in the morning and leave before dark."
"In addition, the soldiers guarding the city said that there are only three main streets in the county town. After entering, it is relatively easy to find grain stores and cloth shops. He said that the prices of several grain stores are similar because they are all run by the same owner."
"He said that a person is limited to the amount of food he can buy at a grain store, but if you go to the next store, you can still buy the same amount of food. So the person in charge of buying food has to go to all three grain stores in the city."
"When buying grain, the grain shop will check your household registration. So you will need to bring your household registration to the city tomorrow." Yun the butcher emphasized this.
"Why don't we wait until we get out of the city tomorrow and then go buy some water. Then we can just use the car to bring it back." The village chief added.
"That's fine, but we want to buy a lot of cars, and it would be too ostentatious to rush out like this." said Yun the Butcher.
"Indeed, more than 20 vehicles rushing out will still attract a lot of attention. What should we do? We have been robbed by refugees twice in the capital city before, and I still have a trauma in my heart." The second elder said worriedly.
After hearing what the second elder said, everyone started to worry.
"Village chief, I secretly asked the soldiers guarding the city, and we are entering the city through the north gate. When we leave, we have to go through the south gate to continue moving forward."
"So the soldiers guarding the city suggested that we leave the city through the south gate. There aren't many refugees there. That way, we won't be noticeable."
"Butcher Yun, do you mean that everyone in our village must go to the city? How much will that cost?" the village chief asked hurriedly.
"I asked the village chief, and he said that if we keep going straight ahead from where we are now, we can reach the south gate in about five miles. But we can only go through the woods, and it is not easy for cars to pass through the woods."
After hearing what Yun the Butcher said, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it can save money, just walk through the woods, it's no big deal.
"He also mentioned a way, which is that we can go south along the city wall to the South Gate. However, there are many trees beside the city wall, so the advantage is that carts can pass through."
"Because nearby villagers usually secretly walk along the city wall to save the entrance fee, so a small path has been trampled out there." Yun the Butcher said and looked at everyone.
"How about this, tomorrow those who have horse-drawn carriages or ox-drawn carts can go into the city to buy things. Everyone else, including children, can take the small path along the city wall," said the village chief.
"Village chief, how are we going to buy water tomorrow? Should we buy water before leaving?" a villager asked.
The village chief looked directly at Yun the Butcher.
"There is also a water stall at the South Gate. We can go there to buy water. Otherwise it will be troublesome to carry water with us. We can also get free water at the South Gate. There are fewer refugees there, so it will be our turn soon."
"But we have to leave very early tomorrow morning. If we are late we won't be able to get the free water distributed by the government."
"That's a good thing. It's just waking up a little earlier. That's not a problem."
"Yes, there are so many refugees in the square here, and we don't know when it will be our turn."
"You don't have to worry about that. Didn't you hear from Butcher Yun that there are few refugees at the South Gate? It will probably be our turn soon."
"It's really good. The money we save on going into the city is enough for us to buy water."
