My Parents Are Omnipotent

  Chapter 79 Need to buy food

   "Pei Huaiyu is not easy." Ye Anlan sighed, and took Ye Wei to find Li Shi.

   She will not meddle in this kind of intrigue within the big family. After all, with her EQ, even if she blends in, she definitely doesn’t understand_(:з」∠)_

   There is also Pei Huaixiu, who has no roots, she can finally hand him over to his model brother to worry about—although she doesn't know whether Pei Huaiyu is willing to worry about him^_^

  ***

  With nearly 90 new members, the total number of people and age composition of the fleeing team led by Ye Anlan finally became relatively normal.

Now in their team, young and middle-aged men and women accounted for about 60% of the total number of people, plus herself, Ye Song, Zheng Fengshou, Yang Xiaotao, Li Jing, Changan, Wei Zhen, who were young but relatively able to fight, Their combat effectiveness is considered quite good among the refugees.

   But at the same time, Ye Anlan also had some new troubles.

  For example, from this moment on, she will be responsible for feeding more than a hundred people.

   Once she has more mouths to eat, her previous method of mainly relying on windfalls and secondly relying on occasional hunting to support the team's expenses will inevitably appear to be unreliable.

  In order to solve this problem, Ye Anlan began to train everyone to be self-reliant in a planned way.

  In addition to rushing, practicing martial arts, and cultivating tacit understanding with her companions, Ye Anlan also arranged a simplified version of field survival lessons for everyone.

  Looking for water sources, fishing, hunting, self-made weapons... Ye Anlan will teach the people around him whatever skills he thinks of, or what skills he happens to use.

  In addition, she also asked those skilled people in the team to make a lot of hoods, socks, and weave a lot of backpacks and straw sandals for everyone.

Of course, these tasks are not free voluntary labor. Just like those team members who are responsible for exploring roads, keeping watch at night, protecting the team, preparing meals, and teaching everyone to read and practice martial arts, these team members who help make things have also gained more rewards in the team. good treatment.

From the very beginning, Ye Anlan regarded the words "more work, more pay" as the first principle of distributing supplies. Except for a few children under the age of ten, including Ye Wei and Ye Tang, Aunt Zhou's illness No. Qingji, the seriously wounded, all the others without exception have their own jobs.

Every day, the little leaders arranged by Ye Anlan will supervise everyone to follow Ye Anlan's requirements on traveling, practicing martial arts, literacy, guarding the team, and doing other chores. The more difficult the task and the higher the degree of completion, the better the treatment it is good.

   In this way, in order to eat more, wear warmer clothes, and sleep better, everyone will naturally start to involve madly.

   After about twenty days like this, Ye Anlan and the others staggered all the way to the border of Texas relying on their own two legs.

   Here, they encountered several teams of refugees fleeing from the west.

According to them, in Jizhou in the west of Texas, there are two rebel forces whose brains are almost out of their minds. More than a dozen old men were rushed to the battlefield as cannon fodder.

  This kind of mad dog, who dares to stay in their sphere of influence?

   No, anyone who was well-informed fled to other places with their families.

  After hearing this, Ye Anlan frowned slightly.

  She was worried that the more refugees there would be, the more trouble she would have, when Li Jing brought her another piece of bad news that made things worse.

According to Li Jing, those chaotic armies who took advantage of the troubled times to act as monsters are not the most troublesome. The most troublesome thing is that in the three states of Jizhou, Dezhou, and Shenzhou, there is no snow in winter and no rain in spring. There will be a drought.

  If a drought strikes, those poor people who are reluctant to leave their hometowns and would rather stay in their hometowns and endure the war will be forced to become new refugees for a bite.

At that time, food and water will become more precious resources than they are now, and more people will die of starvation and thirst, and then their bodies will be exposed in the wilderness. When the weather heats up again, these three states may still be in danger. Plagues began one after another.

  Not to mention experiencing it personally, just imagining such a purgatory on earth, Ye Anlan felt his stomach tumbling.

  She sighed—originally she was planning to find a relatively stable place here so that everyone could rest for a few days.

   Made up her mind, Ye Anlan was planning to call Ye Jinkui and other core members of the team over for a small meeting, when Zheng Fengshou ran over from behind the team.

  He stopped urgently in front of Ye Anlan, "Sister, someone wants to buy food with us."

  Ye Anlan looked back in the direction of Zheng Fengshou's finger, and sure enough, he saw a group of more than a dozen people trailing far behind their team.

  She asked Zheng Fengshou, "Who are those people?"

"It's also fleeing. I heard that he dragged his family from Shenzhou." Zheng Fengshou has also been trained now, and before running to find Ye Anlan, this child also knows to ask about the basic situation first. .

  He said to Ye Anlan: "Those people said that they are willing to exchange food and coarse salt with us for silver, ox carts, or other things that we can see."

  Ye Anlan subconsciously wanted to wave her hand and refuse—just kidding, what is more difficult to get than grain and salt these days? Besides, does she look like someone short of money? She has only made two windfalls.

  Uh, well, if you only look at the appearance, she is really short of money_(:з」∠)_

   Silently retracting the half-raised arm, Ye Anlan turned to look at the thoughtful Li Jing, "Ah Jing, what do you think?"

  Li Jing didn't make a decision right away, he suggested to Ye Anlan, "Why don't you meet those people first?"

  Ye Anlan thought for a while, "That's fine."

  She touched her longbow and quiver, "Go together?"

  Li Jing nodded with a smile, and the two took Chang An and Yang Xiaotao to the back of the line.

   Zheng Fengshou, who came to report the news, walked in front of the four, "That's them."

  Ye Anlan took a look at the dozen or so people who were very thin, but tall, with blind eyes, "Please come over and talk."

  Zheng Fengshou responded, and asked the young and middle-aged men at the back of the line to open a hole, and put those refugees who wanted to buy things with them into the line.

   "This is my eldest sister." Zheng Fengshou introduced Ye Anlan to others with a proud face, "She is the boss of our team. If you have any needs, it is best to ask her."

  The cramped and vigilant refugees looked shocked, and one of them blurted out uncontrollably, "A woman? And she's such a big girl."

"I'm sorry, my brother's heart is not very clear." The young man who covered his mouth smiled awkwardly, and he bowed slightly to Ye Anlan, "Girl, don't be as knowledgeable as him, wait until we finish talking." It's the right thing, I'll beat him up right away to vent your anger."
