On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 10: Going to the City to Buy Food
The people on the roadside were staring at their cars eagerly.

It would be best if someone is left alone.

Anyway, it's a chaotic time now, so they won't be caught if they steal things.

"Everyone, be careful, these people look like refugees."

Some people have a lot of experience and can immediately tell that something is wrong, and whisper to the people around them.

The closer they got to the county gate, the more people they saw.

The village chief asked them to stop and found a deserted place for them to rest.

"Everyone can see it, right? Mianyang County is ahead, and there are many refugees around. We can't go any further. For our safety, each team and each family will send one or two representatives to follow me to the front to investigate the situation." When the village chief spoke, no one dared to disobey. Besides, the village chief's analysis made sense, so they were willing to listen.

Lan Yue and Liu followed the village chief. Gu Yan originally wanted to follow, but in order to allow his foot to heal completely, Lan Yue did not let him.

"Brother, don't worry, Sister Lan Yue and mother will be fine." Gu Xue saw his worry.

Gu Yan looked at Lan Yue's figure and hummed softly.

His foot was actually almost healed and he didn't need crutches, but Lan Yue said he couldn't walk too often, so he had no choice but to obey her. He didn't want to let her down.

Lan Yue observed the refugees around her. Most of them were in their fifties or sixties. There were relatively few middle-aged people, and most of them were the elderly, the weak and the disabled. If they really wanted to steal food, she would not be afraid.

"Everyone, don't push, and don't even think about getting into the county town!" An official at the gate said loudly, "This county town can't accommodate too many people anymore, so we can only let people in to buy food. After buying, you can leave on your own, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!"

When the official spoke, some people were unhappy but they did not dare to make trouble. When some people made trouble before, these officials simply had them killed.

"Everyone line up! Fifty people are allowed in at a time!"

"Everyone must be back before dark. Each team will be in for one hour. I will send someone to follow behind."

Although everyone was dissatisfied, they still held back.

Although the time is short, it is like not being able to buy anything.

Lan Yue and the village chief were in the same team and were the first group of people to go in and buy things.

When Lan Yue entered the city, she did not go with the village chief and the others. "Aunt Liu, go buy whatever you want. Don't worry about me. I'll go look around and we'll meet at the gate later."

Lan Yue had her own plans, so she didn't join them to go shopping.

Liu didn't say much, just told her to be careful, and went shopping with the village chief and others.

The officer following them took a look but did not stop them. After all, no matter what happened, it had nothing to do with him.

Lan Yue walked around the city, then went into an inn, ordered some food, and put it into the space when no one was around.

Her space has a fresh-keeping function and a refrigerator, so she doesn't have to worry about the food she puts in becoming stale or spoiling.

The food in this inn is quite good, and the prices have not increased due to the war and natural disasters. It seems that the owner who came here also wants to give up his business here.

Lan Yue ordered some other signature dishes. The waiter was shocked, but he also knew that it was none of his business, so he had to ask the kitchen to prepare them.

After about half an hour, Lan Yue saw that most of the signature dishes had been ordered. After eating a roasted chicken and a bowl of pork noodle soup, she went to pay and look elsewhere.

She had a lot of money now, and she could buy some other things to cover up her crime. She went into another clothing store.

"Oh, what a rare guest. What kind of clothes do you want to buy? I have everything here."

The proprietress came out to greet the guest. She saw that the guest was not wearing fancy clothes, but had the temperament of a rich girl, so she did not look down on him.

Lan Yue looked at the clothes and found that none of them were suitable for her to wear during the escape. But she could keep one or two sets as backup so that she would have clothes to wear when she settled down.

"Please pack this one and this one for me." Lan Yue took a fancy to a crescent-shaped white orchid skirt and a light blue printed silk skirt, both of which were very suitable for a young and energetic girl. Anyway, she was a minor now, and wearing skirts of this color was most suitable for her. She was only twenty years old in her previous life.

"Are there any other skirts that are not of very good quality?" She had to change the clothes she was wearing. She didn't want to wear the same skirt for four or five days.

"Yes, yes, yes. Please wait a moment, young lady."

The proprietress went into the house and brought out a few sets of skirts that were not very well made. "Girl, take a look. If you think they are suitable, you can take three sets for ten taels of silver."

Lan Yue touched it and felt it was okay, not too bad. "I'll take it and try it. If it fits, I'll take it."

The proprietress immediately took her to change clothes in ecstasy.

She was planning to close the shop after making a few more deals, but she didn't expect to make so much money today. Did she meet a noble person today?
After Lan Yue entered the room, she went straight into the space, washed up briefly, and changed into a new dress.

Her hair is half tied up with a crescent-shaped hairpin carved from sandalwood as an embellishment. Her fair and rosy skin has been rubbed with a special medicine, making her skin dark. She has a pair of bright eyes and white teeth, and she is smart and shrewd. Suddenly, one seems to see a feeling of being distant, indifferent and cold about her.

Lan Yue was wearing a coarse linen dress. She looked at herself in front of the mirror and was very satisfied.

"Boss lady, I want all of these. How much are they in total?" Lan Yue changed her clothes and asked the boss lady to pack her clothes.

The proprietress glanced at Lan Yue. Although the person in front of Yan was the same one she saw just now, why did she feel that the impression given by this girl had changed?

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and quickly packed it for Lan Yue, "Twenty taels of silver, and two fans for the girl."

Lan Yue didn’t think it was expensive, so she paid the money, took her things and left.

Lan Yue went to buy some buns and some edible dried bacon.

Although they found an empty corner and took out two bottles of water from the space, the bottles were all suitable for this world. The water was enough for them for two days.

Just like that, Lan Yue carried her things and walked directly towards the city gate.

When she came back, Liu and the others had not returned yet, but a few people nearby had returned early, holding a lot of things in their hands, and there were also a lot of things placed on the ground.

Lan Yue took a look and then lowered her head to look at her shoes. Her shoes could still be worn for two days, so she decided not to change them for the time being.

Soon, Liu and his friends came back.

A group of people carried bags of all sizes, and some even bought horse-drawn carriages.

"Auntie Liu, do you need help?" Lan Yue was carrying a package on her back and holding two large water bottles in her hands. Seeing Auntie Liu carrying a lot of things, she hurried over.

"No, these are all very light things." Liu bought ten kilograms of rice, some clothes and food. She didn't buy water because she couldn't compete with others, so she bought more food.

　Do you want CP?
