The game starts with fleeing from famine, the boss of the end times is in trouble
Chapter 155 Experience
"Okay, then you go over. I'll wait for you here. You can also go and see the two children. Why are they so quiet after such a long time?" said Old Man Wu.
"Okay, then I'll go over there, Brother Wu." After saying that, Butcher Yun walked towards the wooden house at the very end.
Then again, Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui followed Master Chen to the wooden house and found that it was a kitchen. When Butcher Yun called out at the door just now, Master Chen was probably cooking, so he didn't hear it.
"You two kids, sit on the chairs and wait for a while. The rice porridge I cooked will be ready soon. I will fry some vegetables and we can eat later." After saying this, Master Chen went to light the fire.
Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui looked at each other. As soon as Yun Yiyi glanced at Master Chen, Xie Zirui understood what she meant.
"Grandpa Chen, I also know how to make a fire. Why don't I do it?" Xie Zirui said sweetly.
"Grandpa Chen, I also know how to make a fire. How about we both make the fire while you cut the vegetables?" Yun Yiyi asked.
"Haha, you two little kids are really good at coaxing people. Okay, then you two come to light the fire and I'll go cut the vegetables." Master Chen stood up quickly and said.
So, Xie Zirui sat over and started the fire. Yun Yiyi stood next to Master Chen and watched him choose the dishes.
"Little kid, what's your name? How old are you?"
"Grandpa Chen, my name is Yiyi and his name is Zirui. I am six years old. He is seven years old." Yun Yiyi replied happily.
"Yiyi, you and Zirui are two sensible and likable children."
"Come, choose. Here are the cabbages, potatoes, eggplants, and pumpkins delivered this morning. What do you want to eat?" Master Chen asked, pointing at a pile of vegetables.
"Grandpa Chen, how about we stir-fry some shredded potatoes and some cabbage?" Yun Yiyi said and looked at Master Chen.
"Haha, okay. Then let's eat cabbage and potatoes. We have to eat them sooner or later anyway, so it doesn't matter which dish we eat first." Master Chen said with a smile.
"Grandpa Chen, if we eat here, will you be hungry? If you are hungry, we will not eat here. We will wait for my father to finish his work and come back before eating."
"Haha, you are such a sensible little kid. Don't worry, my home is in the city, we have no shortage of food. Besides, I work here, and the government will give me money." Master Chen patted Yun Yiyi on the shoulder and said.
"That's good, Grandpa Chen. There's drought everywhere outside right now, and many refugees can't get enough food. I remember we didn't have enough to eat for a while, either."
"Alas, this is how the world is now. Fortunately, the government here is quite active, so no one has to flee. Everyone can barely have food to eat."
"It's hard for the refugees who go out to escape famine," Master Chen sighed.
"Grandpa Chen, we are here to escape famine. We just arrived outside the county town yesterday and entered the city early this morning. After entering the city, my father and Grandpa Wu came straight to you."
"Yiyi. I don't think you guys are fleeing from famine," Master Chen asked puzzled.
"Haha. Grandpa Chen, Zirui and I are special. We are pampered at home, so we don't look like refugees. In fact, we followed the villagers to escape famine."
"Otherwise, how could my father buy so many donkeys and mules? Every household in the village wanted to buy them, so my father and Grandpa Wu helped to buy them."
"However, there are also two mules that my family wants to buy. My father said that after buying the mules, my brother and I won't have to walk. We can stay on the mule cart." Yun Yiyi explained carefully to Master Chen.
"Oh, so you are really refugees. Yiyi, doesn't your family have a carriage? Did you walk all the way here?"
"Grandpa Chen, my family only has one donkey cart, and there are a lot of things on it. It can only accommodate one person. If there are too many people, the little donkey will be exhausted."
"My father and my brother pushed the carts, while my mother, my other brothers and I walked."
Master Chen felt distressed immediately. He looked at Yun Yiyi's small stature and Xie Zirui, who looked like little kids at first glance. They actually had to walk with others to escape the famine. It was really heartbreaking.
He thought of his grandchildren at home, who were still playing carefree, while Yiyi and Zirui had to follow their parents to escape the famine.
"Yiyi, are you fleeing from famine in the next state?" Master Chen asked uncertainly.
"Yes, Grandpa Chen, my parents and I fled here from the neighboring state. There was drought and water shortage everywhere where we were, and we couldn't grow crops on the land. The trees and grass on the mountain were all dead."
"We have no other choice but to flee the famine." Yun Yiyi said helplessly.
"Yiyi, why did you think of buying donkeys and mules? Isn't it better to save money to buy food?" Master Chen asked.
"Grandpa Chen, I heard from our village scholar Uncle that we are still a long way from the end of our escape from famine. The weather is getting colder and colder, and we will get sick if we sleep on the ground."
"Besides, we don't have many warm clothes. If we keep walking, we won't be able to reach where we want to go."
"So, everyone came up with a plan. Each family pooled their money to buy a cart, whether it was a donkey cart, an ox cart or a mule cart. First, it could help pull things, and second, the elderly and children could stay in the cart. After all, it's warmer in the cart."
"And at night, the elderly and children can sleep in the car."
"Yiyi, I didn't expect that you know so much at such a young age." Master Chen said in surprise.
"Grandpa Chen, I also heard it from my father, Uncle Xiucai and the village chief." Yun Yiyi said embarrassedly.
"Haha, that's also amazing, Yiyi." Master Chen praised happily.
"Zirui, you are amazing too. You were able to follow the refugees all the way here." Master Chen said to Xie Zirui.
"Grandpa Chen, everyone has gone through this, I'm just the same as everyone else." Xie Zirui said indifferently.
"You two are both good children who can endure hardships." Master Chen took a look at the rice porridge in the pot, which was almost done. He poured the rice porridge into a bowl.
Then, with the help of Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui, Master Chen made a dish of shredded potatoes and a dish of braised pork belly with cabbage. The staple food was the steamed buns that were delivered today.
After the food was served, Master Chen and the two children started eating. Master Chen felt sorry for Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui after hearing their experiences, and kept asking them to eat more and make sure they were full.
"Grandpa Chen, we are really full. Children don't tell lies." Yun Yiyi said.
"Are you two really full? Zirui?" Master Chen asked Xie Zirui again with concern. He was afraid that the two of them would feel embarrassed and that it would be bad if they were still not full.
