Chapter 343 The Lord, Twelve Cities (1)(1/2)
Chen Baiqi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said "oh" in understanding, finally knowing the reason for this man's stinky face.
However, the refugees who had been waiting for the daybreak to "put out food" were dumbfounded when they heard the conversation between Chen Baiqi and her subordinate, and they couldn't stand it anymore when they came to their senses.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"Yes, is it possible that what you promised before was just to deceive me?"
"I don't need to wait any longer. Really, you just need to be kind enough to give us some food, even just one bite!"
They were agitated, their eyes were red, and they asked angrily, but they did not start a fight immediately, probably because they were worried that they would not be able to defeat these armed soldiers, and also because this adult was really good-looking.
She is so beautiful that one cannot associate the word "liar" with her.
Chen Baiqi withdrew his gaze and looked at the refugees. Their dark and thin faces were filled with the anger of being deceived, depressed and sharp. Old, young, male and female were mixed together. You squeezed and I pushed, dirty.
Chaos and stench, they are like lingering wild dogs, squandering their last ferocity with their weak bodies.
But when Chen Baiqi faced their inquiries, his attitude remained calm, or in other words, he was calm and tolerant.
However, Yao Li did not have such temperament. When he saw that this group of lowly refugees dared to speak to Lord Jian like this, he darkened his face and raised the sword in his hand a little higher to his chest, intending to suppress and intimidate.
If these people dare to cause trouble again, he will show no mercy with his sword out of its sheath.
Although Posuo often criticizes "Chen Huanxian", he is also protective of his shortcomings. Although there is no such thing as a low status in his mind, he still distinguishes between people. To him, "Chen Huanxian" and he are of the same race, and they are his
How can the person you want to protect be allowed to be bullied at will?
He bent the corners of his mouth, and his honey-like eyes narrowed, looking a bit sinister.
However, Chen Baiqi did not give them the opportunity to "protect" her. At this time, she took out a piece of cloth that had been prepared and cut it into squares, and said: "Of course what I promised you is true. I promised to give you a gift."
Your food is here."
"What?!"
The refugees seemed to have fallen into a fog, staring at the piece of book and silk in her hand, and they all had no idea.
"What does it mean?"
"Yes, this is just a piece of cloth, how can there be food?"
"Are you kidding us? How could the food be in this? This piece of cloth is a little bigger. What kind of food can it hold?"
In fact, let alone this group of refugees who couldn't believe it, even Yao Li and the others were surprised.
Chen Baiqi stretched out her hand to signal them to calm down. She smiled and said: "This piece of cloth is naturally not food, and it cannot be used to pretend to be food, but it can bring you food."
They will starve because they have no idea what kind of grace this vast land has left to the world.
It is very generous, as long as someone is willing to spend some time exploring.
Chen Baiqi not only explored, but also exceeded his quota.
She conducted geological analysis through the "regional map", spent 2 merit points, and spent 3,000 general coins to summarize the analysis results, and distinguish the foods that grow naturally in the ground and can fill her stomach. Although there are not many edible types,
The victory lies in sufficient quantity.
"it……"
Some people stared at it in surprise.
Chen Baiqi stretched out his hand and asked them to come and get it.
Yao Li's eyelids twitched. He didn't want these dirty and smelly refugees to get close to their adults, so he lowered his head and took it with both hands. Then he frowned and reluctantly took a few steps forward and handed it to the refugees.
Someone came over to take over with hesitation, and Chen Baiqi said: "This is a drawing. It is very simple. Anyone who knows a few words can understand it, and there are edible things in the places marked on it."
"really?!"
They hurriedly lowered their heads and opened it, and saw several long and winding lines drawn on the white silk. Each line was marked with a pair of footprints facing forward. They could understand this, which meant that they were asked to go in this direction.
The footprints are marked with three, but does this mean three steps or three hundred steps?
They thought for a while that it couldn't be three steps, because there was a scene behind the footprints, which was not nearby, and the scene was painted very carefully and clearly, like a rubbing of a real scene, allowing them to clearly identify the location...
No wonder she said the map was so simple that even illiterate people like them who knew a few words could easily find the marked locations.
They looked at the map in silence, secretly exchanging glances with each other.
What is this?
I don't know, but I guess it's something edible.
But why are there food buried in these places?
I don't know, could it be that this lady went all the way to bury it at night? But... what's the point of her doing this?
I wonder if there is something edible growing in this land?
Impossible. This mountain is full of rocks. Even grass grows sparsely within ten miles. If there is no tendon, how can it grow anything to eat?
Could it be that this gentleman used this to deceive us, and when we ran to find something to eat, he would join the team and run away?
Chen Baiqi understood their psychology, and she said frankly: "You can let one of you go to the first marked location to explore the situation. I will not leave before that."
Hearing what she said, the refugees were startled for a moment. They looked at this lady with clear and beautiful features. She looked nothing like those greasy philistine politicians. People often say that she is so upright, but she is dressed in clothes from bottom to top.
A bright person is probably how she is described.
...with the "halo of truth" around, even if the refugees' minds are still there, they are all emotionally willing to believe her words.
"I go."
A young man immediately volunteered to explore the way.
Chen Baiqi immediately nodded to him encouragingly and gave him an elegant smile like a magnolia flower.
The young man was inadvertently teased by Chen Baiqi, and his face immediately turned red. He quickly put on the white silk and ran away like a rabbit.
After waiting quietly for about half an hour, I saw the young man running back with a pocket of dust in his hands.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around him and helped him with all kinds of help, saying something to him.
"Hey, is there anything to eat?"
"What are these mud lumps you brought back?"
"What did you find?"
The young man threw the big lump of mud in his pocket on the ground, splashing a layer of dust, then wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, gasped and said excitedly: "No, it's not a lump of mud, there is something in the mud.
, I, I was in a hurry and didn’t clean up the rafters.”
"There is something, what's in it?"
They looked at the lumps of mud on the ground, squatted down and pulled them out. Soon, flat pillar-shaped objects were revealed inside. Someone accidentally broke them in two with force, and the crispy sides were white.
"What's this?"
"Can I eat it?"
They had never seen this kind of thing before, and they didn't know for a while whether it was edible, whether it could be eaten, or whether it was poisonous.
When Chen Baiqi stepped forward, they immediately dispersed to leave a path for her, and Yao Li immediately followed.
She glanced down and explained to them: "This is a wild fruit potato. It usually grows in dry sandy soil and can be cooked with water. The location I drew extends this area for nearly two stones. You guys
You can dig for food in batches."
"In addition..." Chen Baiqi took out the map from the young man's hand: "Here, here, there is other food. I will leave some tools, I believe it will be enough to meet your eight-day rations."
Everyone looked up at her in stunned silence.
I don’t know for a moment whether I should ask you how you know there is food in these places, or how you know these things are edible...
"How do you know this?" Posuo asked in surprise.
Chen Baiqi said matter-of-factly: "Of course I should read more and read more books. All these knowledge are taught in the books."
As soon as these words came out, many people who had never studied in their lives lowered their heads in shame.
Even Po Suo was speechless for a moment.
Damn it, compared with "Chen Huanxian" who came out of Yuelu Academy, he didn't dare to admit that he was educated.
It's terrible to be uneducated, isn't it? Even if these refugees pass by, they don't know about the treasures, but people who have read books and have a wide range of knowledge will find treasures at their fingertips.
Facts have proved that even if she didn't produce a grain of rice, she managed to collect enough food for eight days for a family of about 200 people, and there was still some leftover.
After the refugees reacted to her words, none of them could stand still. Their eyes were filled with joy, and they were both surprised and grateful. Yao Li and the others admired Master Da Jian from the bottom of their hearts.
"Sir, we don't know how to thank you for your great kindness..."
They all knelt down to her again with a thud.
This time they were not only grateful for the extra food she gave them, but also admired her wisdom and knowledge.
System: Character "Chen Huanxian" reputation 23.
System: The character "Chen Huanxian" has a reputation value of 163.
Chen Baiqi: "..." The number of more than 200 people has increased by 23. It seems that the reputation of this person is not as easy to increase as she thought.
