Chapter 61 Someone is coming
In fact, Pan Yingying bought watermelons at the system mall for 15 cents per pound, but she didn't tell anyone and quietly stockpiled 1000 pounds in her space.

Yu Chaosheng still drank sour radish and old duck soup tonight, but it was not made by Yu Chuner. Instead, Zhao asked Liu Juhua and Zhao Meixiang to prepare two large bowls and asked Pan Li to bring them over.

Yu Chaosheng was very proud and deliberately gulped down the soup, boasting to Pan Yingying, "Oh, my mother-in-law is so good to me!"

Pan Yingying picked up a piece of old ginger and threw it into his bowl, "Hurry up and eat something good to heal your mental retardation."

Honglian and Lumei looked at each other and lowered their heads even lower.

Well, the princess and the lord of the county have a really good relationship. They have endless things to talk about and endless arguments every day.

……

……

After walking like this for more than half a month, there is only a small tail of summer left, but the temperature is still frighteningly high.

The men all learned Yu Chaosheng's new style of dressing. Since they couldn't go shirtless, they just asked their wives to make their clothes short-sleeved.

You know what, it’s really convenient and dissipates heat.

Pan Yingying tore off the mask on her face, then pulled off the one on Yu Chaosheng's face and threw it into the trash can in the space.

Yu Chaosheng was confused, "What time is it?" He had just fallen asleep without noticing.

Pan Yingying picked up the gold pocket watch around her neck and checked the time. "Three o'clock."

Yu Chaosheng grabbed the cleansing towel beside him and wiped his face clean in a few seconds. He was about to stand up and ask everyone to pack up and get ready to set off when Long Wuyi, who was in charge of exploring the way ahead, ran over and suddenly braked three meters away from them.

"Miss, uncle, there is a village ahead, but there is no one there. They must have all fled to escape the famine."

Pan Yingying was overjoyed. She finally found a village. Even if there was no one there, it was at least a psychological comfort. During this period of time, she saw the yellow earth every day when she opened her eyes and when she closed her eyes. If she didn't change to some new scenery, she would go crazy.

"Notify everyone and set off for that village now."

If you doubt someone, don't employ him; if you employ someone, don't doubt him. She believes in Long Wuyi's ability, and there should be no problem with that village.

Long Wuyi took the order and left. Pan Yingying slapped Yu Chaosheng hard on the arm and said, "Come back to your senses, we are leaving!"

A long line of carriages and horses moved towards the village ahead.

Worried that they would not be able to reach Yaocheng within the specified time, Liang Ye finally nodded and agreed to let the convicts ask Yu Chaosheng to get a ox cart.

He swore that he would never compromise because of their financial offensive.

The disaster here was severe, and refugees were fleeing the famine in all directions. He also wanted to finish his work and return home as soon as possible.

Ever since the convicts had ox carts, their travel speed increased significantly, and gradually, the two sides came together.

With ox carts, everyone can also buy more food and supplies from fleeing groups.

Among the people brought by Long Yingwei, there is an aunt who is very good at making pastries. She has now set up a small mobile stall in the team.

She specially makes pastries that can withstand storage, and she runs her business in a very Buddhist way. If people buy, she will sell, and if no one buys, it doesn't matter.

Yu Chaosheng liked the cakes made by this aunt very much, so he bought a lot of them and asked Pan Yingying to put them in his space.

The village is not big, with only about forty households, so everyone can still fit in if they squeeze together.

Yu Chaosheng had just driven the carriage into a yard when Long Qi came in with a sullen face.

"What's wrong?" Yu Chaosheng asked curiously. He had never seen Long Qi with such an expression before.

Long Qi hesitated to speak and looked at Pan Yingying who jumped off the carriage, "Long Wu and the others are waiting for the girl to summon them thirty miles away. There are 732 of them in total..." Before he finished speaking, Pan Yingying's eyes went dark.

"How much...more?" She trembled and held on to Yu Chaosheng's arm, which was about to fall.

Long Qi could only repeat himself, "732 people, 457 of them are ours, and the rest are their families."

Pan Yingying rolled her eyes and was about to fall to the ground, but Yu Chaosheng held her up.

"Sister Pan, hold on, there are only 732 of us, you can do it!" As a companion in the journey, Yu Chaosheng gave words of encouragement at the right time.

But after Pan Yingying quickly calculated the account in her mind, her face turned even paler.

Oh my God! There are more than 700 people. Just the food and drink would be terrifying, not to mention how much money it would cost if they demanded a sword!

I can’t afford it!

She regrets it now, very much.

Yu Chaosheng waved to Long Qi and said, "We'll go after dark. You go and settle down first."

Long Qi saw that Pan Yingying was not in a good state, but as a secret guard, this was not something he should be concerned about, so he clasped his fists towards the two of them, turned around and left.

Before leaving the hospital, I saw Honglian and Lumei unloading things from the ox cart, so I helped them.

"Master, here." Honglian took a small package from the ox cart and handed it over. Inside was a short-sleeved dress that she and her sister had asked the aunts to help make with the fabric.

Long Qi frowned, and said disapprovingly, "If you have money, save it for yourselves, don't spend it for your master."

Lu Mei straightened her back and imitated his tone and said, "What's wrong with me earning money to honor my master? This is what my master deserves. He raised such outstanding people like me and my sister!"

Long Qi was choked by her words, but then he remembered that what she said seemed to be correct, so he had to tuck the bag under his armpit, threw down a sentence "Take good care of the girl" and went to the yard opposite.

The corners of Honglian's mouth twitched. Her sister had been infected by the county lord's smooth talk. She said whatever she wanted without any shame.

Pan Yingying grabbed Yu Chaosheng's arm and gritted her teeth, "Another 700 mouths have come to eat. Do you think my money came from the wind?"

Yu Chaosheng tried to comfort her sincerely, and his expression seemed to be serious, but the words he said sounded ridiculous.

"Didn't you say there were 2000 people? Strictly speaking, there are only about 500 people now. Don't be too sad, your hard days are still ahead."

Hahahahahaha!

Pan Yingying flew up and kicked him, "Yu Chaosheng, I will kill you!"

Honglian and Lumei had packed up the ox cart and were about to enter the yard when they heard the loud noise. They looked at each other and took a step back together.

"Sister, let's go and help Master to tidy up. He's alone and will definitely be overwhelmed." Lu Mei looked straight ahead and didn't seem curious at all about what was happening in the yard behind her.

Honglian nodded, and said calmly, "That's true. He is old and his legs and feet are not very flexible. He really needs our help."

After they left, two little heads popped out from the corner.

Yu Qiuer asked in confusion, "Sister, when did Uncle Long Qi become so unsteady on his feet?"

Yu Chuner: ...

"Let's go and cook for my uncle and aunt first." She didn't want to answer this question.

Yu Qiuer said "Oh" and held her sister's hand.
