Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 8 Dead man's wealth

Mei Qian's family didn't know when they came into the Chen family's sight. At this moment, their family was very excited because they had picked up good things from several Xirong soldiers.

"Oh! If I had known tonight, I would have created opportunities and exchanged them twice to create some space!"

Mei Qian never thought that one day she would be able to pull something from a corpse's arms without blushing or heart beating.

Mei Qian muttered as she threw some conspicuous gold and silver jewelry into her pocket, and stuffed some gold and silver coins into her pocket while no one was around.

When these movements are coherent, they can "work" more efficiently than the people in some of the movies and TV series she watched.

After that, Mei Qian found two bags of food on the back of the horse not far from the other party, not much, only about ten kilograms.

Mei Qian opened it and inspected it. Fortunately, there was some blood on the outside of the bag, but there was nothing inside.

These two bags alone are his family’s food ration for “two months”!
"Sister, what did you find?"

At this time, Mei Qian heard the sound of Mei Shitou. When she looked up, she saw her brother carrying a horse leg that was still dripping blood on the ground.

In addition to the horse's legs, her brother also had two sharp scimitars on his waist.

During the battle just now, Mei Shitou also discovered the importance of having an advantageous weapon in his hand.

Others were holding broadswords, but if his uncle hadn't snatched a scimitar from a dead Xirong soldier later and gave it to him, he would have been injured later.

So this time, in addition to looking for meat, he also held weapons if they were available.

"Wow! Food!"

Before Mei Qian could answer, Mei Shitou had already seen what was in Mei Qian's hand.

"I just looked through it and didn't see any food."

Although he was carrying a horse's leg, Mei Shitou still hoped to find food that could be preserved for a long time like Mei Qian.

"I guess some of it fell off due to the bumps in the battle."

Mei Shitou and Mei Qian didn't care at all about these details. After searching around the area, the siblings stopped searching.

As soon as the fighting stopped, the refugees who had fled before started to gather again, and those from high-ranking families were also returning.

Mei Qian thought it was better not to attract too much attention.

When Mei Qian and Mei Shitou returned, only the pregnant Jiang and her father, who was looking after the family's belongings, were left.

Her mother and her eldest aunt also boldly searched around.

Just like Mei Qian and the others, they also came back. They saw that everyone in the family went out empty-handed, but came back with big and small bags. The family looked at each other and said nothing, but in fact everyone was happy.

Especially when Mrs. Mei saw the small bag Mei Qian handed her again, her eyes were almost dazzled by the gold and silver jewelry in it. The way Mrs. Mei looked at Mei Qian kept changing!

Why didn't she realize that her granddaughter was so capable before?
Although it is a bit unethical to make money from dead people, but who knew that the scurrying rat who was chased by the Xirong soldiers would one day be able to get something from the hands of the Xirong soldiers?

This wave of dead money, they can make money without any regrets.

Fortunately, Mei Qian and the others were not greedy. After they came back from hunting down the tribe who came to hunt, everyone began to clean up the battlefield.

The horse meat that Mei Qian was eyeing was not blind to these tribes. Mei Qian and her family watched the dead horses being dragged away by those tribes.

In order to inquire about the news, Mei Erhu went forward to talk to Manager Chen who had just returned and said that he wanted to help.

She didn't know if there was something wrong with Mei Qian's way of seeing people. She saw that Manager Chen had a very kind expression on his face after he saw her father, which was far different from the cold look on his face when she first saw them.

"Why are you dazed?"

Here, her mother was instructing her family to repack the grain they found, and she even took out some to reward the family's weight-bearing athlete, the little gray donkey.

Seeing Mei Qian standing in a daze not far away, Mrs. Mei couldn't help shouting.

"coming."

Mei Qian turned around, glanced around and saw that everyone was still busy, so she coughed and said:

"Milk, just now I found a bag of food that I haven't seen before in the arms of a Shirong dog. I saw that the place where it was placed is quite hidden. I think it is a good thing."

After Mei Qian lowered her voice, her eyes lit up.

Oops, she suddenly realized that when their whole family went out to search for things, the results were not as good as Mei Qian's search alone.

Let’s not talk about the gold, silver and grain just now. Is there anything new now?
"What good stuff?"

"It looks like a fruit and smells quite fragrant." Mei Qian took the opportunity to take out the milk fruit.

The family members gathered together and looked at it, but they didn't realize what the black clover and the fruit the size of an adult man's fist were.

The family members subconsciously focused all their attention on Mrs. Mei’s face. When they saw her, Mrs. Mei’s face darkened: “Look at what I’m doing, I don’t know what I’m doing. The fruit of Xiron looks like a Xiron dog.” Yes, they all look ugly."

Mei Qian: "..."

It was she who felt sorry for Nai Guo and gave her such a "disgraceful" life experience_(：3　∠)_
"No matter what, milk, why don't you eat some? It's not easy to light a fire to cook now. The team left as soon as they wanted. Maybe this time they will have to walk for a long time, and they won't be able to get a mouthful of food or water. Mouth."

Mei Qian licked her chapped lips. Although she wasn't hungry at all after the meal she had eaten earlier, she was a bit greedy.

Xiaomei said, milk fruit is delicious.

Han's eyes shone when she heard this, but in the end she didn't dare to reach out and just kept looking at Mrs. Mei, waiting for her mother-in-law to say something.

"Don't worry, since it's fruit, you can eat it later when you're thirsty and hungry on the way. What does it look like to eat it now?"

Mrs. Mei still wanted to refuse the offer to eat the fruit now.

"But Nai, our family is eating something that no one around us recognizes in broad daylight. Why don't people ask? What we did tonight is not very honorable."

"Then let's eat tomorrow night!"

In the end, Mei Qian, who was addicted to gluttony, did not eat the milk fruit right away that night.

···
"My young master heard that you helped kill the Xirong soldiers who rushed into our Chen family. I am very grateful to you."

Mei Erhu followed Manager Chen and his group to dig a big deep hole on the spot, and helped throw all the bodies of the Xirong soldiers in and bury them.

After the uncle and nephew helped him around, Manager Chen pulled Mei Erhu aside and said these words.

"Hey, Manager Chen, it's us who should be grateful. If we didn't kill him in that situation, it would be our family members who would die.

Besides, you have also seen the situation in our family.

If you hadn't let my mother, wife, and daughter in for the last reason, our family would have been doomed. "

Mei Erhu was very humble in his words. If it hadn't been for the last moment, the Chen family would have been willing to leave a small hole to allow their family members to take refuge. He and Mei Shitou could not protect everyone despite their abilities.

Just like what his mother said, following a wealthy family can indeed avoid a lot of risks.

However, the prerequisite is that they are willing to shelter.

Mei Erhu, who had survived the disaster, could not bear any resentment in his heart at this moment.

There is no condition in this world for him to lose face.

He just hopes to continue to build a good relationship and clean up his reputation. If this happens again in the future, his family can continue to be protected.

When Chen San saw Mei Erhu's humble attitude, his favorable impression continued to rise. At the same time, he also said:
"Brother Mei, you are too polite to let the Xirong soldiers rush into our ranks. The consequences will be disastrous.

Although our Chen family is not the one who calls the shots in this team, we can still protect two families. Is Brother Mei willing to go with our Chen family? "

Walking together here does not mean that the Mei family will just hang around behind their parents and eat ashes like those refugees, but that they will truly follow the Chen family and be protected by the Chen family at all times.

God knows how much Mei Erhu envied some poor families before for being able to follow the team of big families, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to them?
When Mei Erhu returned home and they could follow the Chen family's motorcade, everyone in Lao Mei's family also felt overjoyed.

"Didn't they put any conditions?"

Mrs. Mei's rationality was always on the line, and Mei Qian also came close to help her and added: "Do they value the skills of dad and eldest brother and want to recruit them?"

"Manager Chen didn't say it clearly, but I think if they really take us along and this happens again, we can't shirk our responsibility, right?"

"That's true." Mrs. Mei nodded, and she was prepared for this situation, but she was not reassured and asked one more question, "What exactly did you and Manager Chen San say? What did you tell your mother?" Talk about it.”

Mrs. Mei was afraid that her son's stupid brain would miss some other useful information.

As a result, as soon as Mei Erhu finished speaking, Mrs. Mei discovered it.

"It turns out that these people who are traveling together are not of the same mind. Listen to this man who talks with a gun and a stick~"

Mrs. Mei was furious. When she heard this, she immediately realized what the steward had said about someone when he invited their family to go together.

Mei Qian's eyes moved when she heard this, and she became more interested in the Chen family's complaints...

　The new book will be updated once for the time being. Once it is officially released, it will resume twice a day~ Now I am working hard to save the manuscript and smooth out the plot.
