Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

He rested for two hours at most. There was movement outside again. Father Liu got up from the bed and was about to walk over to see what was happening outside through the crack in the door when Liu Caixia came out from the inner room.

"Dad, don't go out. I'll go see what's going on. Close the door and don't open it for anyone."

Father and mother Liu looked at each other and said, "Then be careful and come back soon."

Liu Caixia opened the door a crack and quietly slipped out through the crack.

Liu Caixia went out and saw a few men from Hujia Village coming out to inquire about the situation. When she saw Brother Hu walking over there, she called him to stop.

"Brother Hu, what happened?"

Brother Hu is the second oldest. After they got to know each other, Liu Caixia and Liu Caiyun followed the villagers in calling him Brother Hu.

At this time, Liu Caixia looked like a rural woman, wearing gray clothes, a straw jacket, a gray headscarf on her hair, and a gray face, which was in line with their temperament of fleeing famine.

"We don't know either. When we heard the noise, we immediately organized some people to come out and take a look. Those people have gone over there and haven't come back yet? We can only know what happened after they come back."

After saying that, a few of them squatted under the dead tree at the door, looking around from time to time.

After a while, a man ran over and said, "These are two other groups of people fleeing famine. They are two different groups of people who also want to stay here for the night. They just had a dispute over the house they are staying in, and ended up fighting!"

"Fortunately, the location of the house we chose is not the best in any way, otherwise if they wanted to grab a good house to live in, they might have clashed with us."

The village chief of Hujia Village is still very far-sighted.

There is even less to worry about Liu Caixia, as their house is even worse, just two mud and thatched houses.

"Village Chief Hu, I don't know how many people they have. Will they continue to make trouble? If anything happens in the future, please send someone to inform our family. There is strength in numbers. If there is anything we can do, please let me know. My sister and I are used to working, and we can definitely help if we have some strength."

Along the way, they tried their best to build good relationships with them.

Isn't it just so that we can take care of each other when something like this happens!

Village Chief Hu didn't agree directly, but he didn't reject it either. "You are responsible for your own safety. If we have a dispute or fight with other teams, we will definitely hope you can help us. After all, if so many people in our team can't handle it, you won't be able to escape either."

Liu Caixia was very satisfied with such an answer.

"Village Chief Hu, don't worry, we know it."

The situation over there gradually calmed down. During this time, a few people secretly came over to check on them. Seeing that there were quite a few of them, they left quietly.

When the village became completely quiet, Liu Caixia and the people from Hujia Village dispersed.

When Liu Caixia returned home, the four people in the family were quietly watching the situation outside behind the door. When she arrived at the door, it was opened before she knocked. Liu Caixia briefly described the situation and told the village chief of Hujia Village what she had said.

It was also the first time that Liu's father encountered such a large-scale fight. All the previous fights were small-scale fights. He could hardly believe that the journey to escape famine would be so peaceful.

"You are right to do so. We just arrived here, so it is best for us to stay with Hujia Village. I think the remaining people in Hujia Village are not evil. If we find a way to stay with them, it will be easier to integrate into this era. And the further we go, the more people fleeing famine we will encounter. Since we are weak and alone, it is a wise choice to find a force to rely on. Moreover, our joining will also strengthen the team of Hujia Village."

Mother Liu also agreed, but still reminded the others, "However, some of our own abilities should not be displayed, and it is better to show some strength appropriately. Especially Xiaolu's space, it must be strictly guarded and not leaked out. The ancient class system is too clear. We have just arrived and we can't fight against the powerful people at all, and we can't find a place to seek justice. We still have to be low-key and cautious."

They discussed in a low voice, and Jiang Xiaolu also told her about her discovery. At her current age, she would still be a child even in ancient times, but she was taller than the girls of today.

"I used to follow the team and sometimes I would meet children who were walking slowly and falling behind. Among them were many orphans whose parents died while fleeing famine. From their words, I knew that Hujia Village took good care of them. Among them were two sisters who were about my age. The village did not treat them harshly just because they were girls."

Father Liu also nodded and said, "Yes, I also chat with children. It is often the most truthful to understand the situation from children. We should show more sincerity later. At least we can achieve mutual benefit during the time we are with them!"

He looked at Liu Caiyun again, and it seemed like he didn't know how to call her for a moment. He looked at her for several seconds before speaking, "Caiyun, you are very strong. You can show this more often. Let the people in their village see your strength and stop thinking that we women are useless. This way, we will be more easily accepted. Useless people are not easy to be accepted at this time."

"Dad, I understand what you mean. I'll find a chance tomorrow and show off a little more."

In fact, Father Liu had introduced the abilities of his two daughters before, but after all, no one could tell the truth from seeing it with their own eyes.

"Mom and Dad, go inside and sleep. Caiyun and I will be guarding outside."

Seeing that everyone had finished chatting, Liu Caixia arranged for everyone to take a rest.

The next day, before dawn, there were whispers of voices outside. Liu Caixia and Liu Caiyun woke up immediately, tidied themselves up, and then went to wake up Liu's father and mother and Jiang Xiaolu.

In fact, there is no need to call them specifically, they have already woken up.

Liu Caixia said, "Xiao Lu, take out something first so we can eat before we go out. Later, check how many sweet potatoes are left. I see no one eats potatoes. I wonder if there are still some here? To be on the safe side, let's not take out the potatoes for now. Everyone else eats sweet potatoes, so we eat sweet potatoes too. I don't know what they call sweet potatoes here."

Liu Caiyun packed up her bag and replied, "There are still a lot of sweet potatoes outside, about the same amount as potatoes. The main reason is that we didn't eat sweet potatoes and potatoes much before, so we just took them out to show off. I exchanged a few sweet potatoes for them."

Father Liu: "Yes, the bag of sweet potatoes we took out earlier was basically untouched. I gave them two bags twice, two at a time. Don't take anything you are not familiar with out for the time being. And we should be able to enter the city today, so let's go in and take a look at the situation first."

"Yes, today is our first time entering the city since we came here! I am looking forward to what a county town really looks like at this time."

Liu's mother said, "Xiaolu, take out the box you collected from our house. I remember there were a lot of silver jewelry in it. Use it first, and then go to the city to learn about the value of other things. Don't take out all of them at once and scare people."

At this time, Liu Caiyun also said, "Mom is right. Use silver first. I also have silver bracelets and silver earrings. I also have gold ones, but they are all platinum. I don't know if they are valuable here. I don't have many gold jewelry."

"Yes, apart from silver jewelry, platinum, diamonds, pearls and the like, I don't have many gold jewelry." Liu Caixia also expressed regretfully that not many people wear gold jewelry these days.

Mother Liu waved her hand and said, "It's okay. You can keep those diamonds and pearls for now. I have a lot of silver here, so I'll use it first. I also have a lot of small and large yellow croakers. I bought these to preserve their value. There has always been a saying that in troubled times, gold is worth antiques in prosperous times. I saved some for emergencies."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Liu's mother said. After all, if you have money, you can survive anywhere.

Father Liu: "Don't touch the gold for now. Take out some silver jewelry first and exchange it for some copper coins at this time. Even if you can't exchange it for money, you can use it as silver. However, the value of money should be higher than the original value of silver. Let's go into the city and ask if there are pawnshops or jewelry shops."

Jiang Xiaolu took out two suitcases of a well-known brand. The suitcases were 33 inches long, very large and sturdy. They were bought by Liu Caixia when Liu's father and mother and Jiang Xiaolu went traveling together. They bought three at once, two large ones and one small one.

Both large boxes were used. Jiang Xiaolu's small box couldn't hold much and took up a lot of space, so she didn't take it. She only filled it with some important collections at home and some precious things.

Liu's mother opened the box. On one side were antique calligraphy and paintings and their collections, and on the other side was a jewelry box and a bag of gold bars packed directly in a storage box. The side with the antique calligraphy and paintings was placed on the side of the zipper for protection, and the other side was what you saw when you opened the box.

Although they had heard what Liu's mother said, everyone's eyes still widened when they saw the gold bars packed in the box.

"Mom, you are amazing. You are so foresighted."

Liu Caixia is now very comfortable calling her mother, and has formed a habit of doing so in private. Looking at so many gold bars, she also feels that when they arrive at a more peaceful city, as long as there is no major disaster or war, their family will be able to live well.

Mother Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "I was thinking that if the money can't be used in the future, the gold and other things can still be used, so I will collect them all. If someone comes to our house to rob us, we can't let them get away with it."

Liu's mother opened the jewelry box. The first layer of the box was filled with several bracelets, made of silver, jade, pearl, agate, tourmaline, sandalwood, ox horn, chicken blood vine and other tourist specialty bracelets. They were all bought by Liu's mother when she went out traveling. They were not very expensive, so they were just casually placed on the first layer.

When the second layer was opened, there were gold bracelets, a jade bracelet that was obviously of very good quality, a pearl necklace with each pearl larger than a thumb, pearl earrings, etc., filling up the entire layer. There were also some platinum jewelry that were temporarily ignored.

Liu's mother began to introduce the items, telling where she bought this and where she bought that. They were all treasures that could be collected and were worth tens of thousands. She spoke very convincingly and seemed to be showing off a bit.

"Okay, okay. I was afraid that others might not know, so I told you to keep a low profile and be careful not to get into trouble."

Father Liu cooled her down in time and calmed her down.

Mother Liu suddenly felt embarrassed. "Oh, I'll just say it. Let Xiaolu put it away and she won't go out and tell anyone. Don't worry."

Mother Liu closed the second layer and took out a silver bracelet and several other tourist-themed bracelets from the first layer. "Put these aside and ask how much they're worth when the time comes. Put the others away."

Liu Caixia also opened her box and took out some silver jewelry. Since she recognized the true nature of Jiang Cheng's scumbag, Liu Caixia treated herself much better and loved to dress up. She often bought some jewelry for herself. She must have bought a lot of silver jewelry because it was cheap and there were many styles and she could wear new ones every day. So she took out quite a lot of silver jewelry, and there was a big storage box.

"Mom, each of us should keep one or two with us, so that if something unexpected happens and we get separated, everyone will have some backup items. The rest can be placed in this makeup bag of mine and in Xiaolu's space."

"There is only one box of jewelry in my box, but there are two boxes of bird's nests, each box is about 300 grams, and two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and fish maw. The better quality ones are probably 300 grams each. It's just that these can't be taken out for the time being, because they will be too conspicuous if they are taken out."

Father Liu said, "Caixia, don't touch these things for now. Use the bracelets your mother brought out to exchange for silver. I have a Lingzhi and some Cordyceps that I usually eat. Oh, and there is also the old mountain ginseng that someone gave me. Please pack them all up and bring them in."

Liu's mother proudly replied, "Of course they are all packed. They are all in here. Your Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are so expensive that I must keep them well. And the Cordyceps you usually eat is packed in a glass jar, which is here. There should be no problem. Xiaolu's space is always kept at a constant temperature."

When Liu's mother heard Liu's father's question, she rummaged through the box again and pointed to two storage boxes and a glass jar to show them.

The Cordyceps in the glass jar can be seen directly from the outside, but the contents of the other two boxes cannot be seen yet. One is a rectangular box, and the other is a square box, so you can't see what's inside clearly.

"I put those away and don't take them out unless it's absolutely necessary. I used to eat two Cordyceps every day, but now I have forgotten what it tastes like."

After saying that, he smacked his lips.

"Before, they were kept in a special room with certain temperature and humidity requirements. Now they are just right here with Xiaolu. Don't worry. I would never leave such a valuable thing behind. There is no rush to sell the Cordyceps and other things. When things stabilize and we have enough money, you can continue to eat them. Your health is too poor."

After saying this, Liu's mother put the things back.

Liu Caixia took out some silver earrings and silver bracelets and said, "I think we can't put all our eggs in one basket. Let's each put some on our body, and give the rest to Xiaolu. Xiaolu, put some in your bag, too, just in case there is a problem with the space, you will have something to keep with you. Everyone take two, and Dad, you should also put one of these bracelets in your bag, just in case, I mean just in case we get separated, you will have something to keep with you."

Liu Caiyun also nodded in agreement. "I took off the bracelet I had been wearing before because I was afraid it would be damaged when I was fighting monsters. I also always carry a jade Buddha with me. There is no need to give me another thing. I don't have a good place to store it on my body."

Liu Caiyun looked at the things in her hands and it seemed difficult to put them away, mainly because the clothes and pants they were wearing were not very convenient. "Let's put it this way. These things are really not suitable to wear on the body. Others might get jealous when they see them. Mom, get out the needle and thread. We can sew a pocket inside the clothes, put the things in, and then seal the pocket and sew it up. This way, we won't worry about losing it."

"Okay, that's a good idea, and it can be done quickly."

After Liu's mother took out the sewing fee and distributed things to everyone, Jiang Xiaolu took out some corn steamed buns and dumplings and put a few in each person's bag. She also carried a bag of sweet potatoes and two bundles containing clothes and a quilt, all of which were used for cover.

They also checked the things they had sorted out that needed to be purchased to see if anything was missed. After confirming that nothing was missing and everything was sorted out, they opened the door and walked out.
