Apocalypse Overlord is Stunned: Fleeing Famine from the Get-Go

Apocalypse overlord Yun Yiyi had just perished together with a group of high-level zombies. The next moment she opened her eyes, she had become a six-year-old chubby girl. What now?

This wasn...

Chapter 224 No Hurry

"Brother Zirui, this is also an opportunity. When we get to Yunzhou, I'll accompany you out for more walks. What if you happen to run into your husband looking for you?"

"Yes, Yiyi, what you said makes sense."

"Brother Zirui, we've both rested for a while, so let's start washing the wild celery."

"Our current task is to store more water and wild vegetables so that we can safely survive the rest of the journey."

"Yes, Yiyi. Let's each have a basin and wash them separately. Put the washed wild celery on the big rock over there."

"Okay, Brother Zirui, let's do our best."

After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she placed the large wooden basin in the pond and filled it with water. Then, Yun Yiyi carried the basin out with both hands.

Seeing that Yun Yiyi was doing it very easily, Xie Zirui also followed Yun Yiyi's example and put the wooden basin into the pool to fill it with water.

As a result, when he tried to carry the wooden basin out with both hands, he tried again but still couldn't lift it.

Xie Zirui's face quickly turned red.

Yun Yiyi was next to her and had already started washing the vegetables.

"Brother Zirui, why haven't you started washing the vegetables yet?"

Yun Yiyi didn't hear Xie Zirui's answer, so she looked up in confusion.

As soon as she saw it, she knew the reason. She walked over and easily took out the wooden basin with both hands.

"Brother Zirui, let me tell you, I was born strong, so don't compare yourself with me."

Xie Zirui was silent for a moment and said nothing.

Yun Yiyi saw that Xie Zirui was shy, so she stopped talking and squatted down to continue washing the vegetables.

However, when she changes the water again, she will directly change Xie Zirui's water as well.

Xie Zirui said embarrassedly, "Yiyi, thank you for helping me change the water."

Yun Yiyi said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a simple thing."

"Yiyi, I envy your strength too."

Yun Yiyi was silent for a moment. "Brother Zirui, I'm used to my strength now. I like it too.

But, to be honest, when I was little, I didn't like it because no little girl could break a bowl.

To others, my strength is abnormal. However, my family is born with supernatural strength, and everyone in the village knows it.

So, adults didn't look at me strangely. However, some kids would talk nonsense, and I got into fights over it.

Later, when I was older and more sensible, the children in the village who were dissatisfied were beaten by my brother and me and convinced, so I became sociable.

If a child isn't mentally strong, they'll also be susceptible to gossip."

"Yiyi, I didn't expect that you had such troubles when you were little."

"Yes, Brother Zirui, children's worries are always varied."

"However, ever since fleeing the famine, I've been thankful that my family members are born with supernatural powers. Because great strength also means safety."

"Yiyi, I heard from my third brother that you have been fleeing for so long and have encountered many dangers. Your supernatural powers and kung fu have also helped everyone many times."

Yun Yiyi quickly waved her hands, "Brother Zirui, you can't say that. I helped drive away the bad guys not only for the villagers, but also for my family."

"Everyone came out together to escape the famine. Because everyone was united and faced the outside world in unison, it had a certain deterrent effect on bad people."

"If my family had escaped the famine on their own, we wouldn't have been so safe. Two fists can't beat four hands, and the power of unity is enormous."

Xie Zirui was deeply touched by Yun Yiyi's words. In the face of the invasion of the Tianlong Kingdom, if the Xie family army had not united to fight the enemy, they would not have been able to repel them time and time again.

Xie Zirui was full of admiration, "Yiyi, you really know a lot."

"Haha, Brother Zirui, I also learned this by learning and watching more from adults." After Yun Yiyi finished speaking, she quickly lowered her head to wash the vegetables.

Oh no, oh no, I hope Xie Zirui won’t get suspicious. Yun Yiyi was secretly annoyed.

It seems that I should be more careful with my words in the future. How could a peasant girl know so many profound truths?

Xie Zirui nodded and said that he would learn more from his teacher when he returned home.

While Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui were washing vegetables, Yun the butcher also came with the villagers to fetch water.

Everyone was very grateful to the Yun Butcher family for discovering the pond. It was like someone offering a pillow when you were sleepy.

Most families in the village have very little water left, so now they don’t have to worry about having no water to wash wild vegetables or to cook.

I believe that in the days to come, the villagers will be polite to Yun the Butcher and his family.

Yun Yiyi's family will also have more say in the village.

Second and Third Brother Yun waited until Yun Yiyi and Xie Zirui had finished washing the wild celery. They also washed the wild vegetables they had dug in a wooden basin.

Butcher Yun went back with the water jar and the washed wild vegetables.

When we got home, Mrs. Zhang had already prepared the meal, so we had a simple lunch.

After dinner, everyone went to take a nap.

The village chief said that we should not rush today and give everyone enough time to store water.

Of course, the roads that were not taken today will definitely be made up later.

The villagers strongly agree with the village chief's decision.

"The village chief is such a considerate one. We are so lucky to have such a good village chief."

"Yes, thank you very much to the elders for choosing a good village chief for us."

"With this afternoon, not only can we store enough water, but we can also dig up more wild vegetables."

"Hey, the main thing is that there's water. We can wash our clothes and take a shower. We're all smelly from traveling all day."

"Yes, I had forgotten if you hadn't told me. The whole family must take a bath and do laundry today."

"Yes, the wild vegetables we dug can finally be washed and stored."

"Yes, let's cherish the days when we have water and wild vegetables. When the weather gets colder, we won't be able to find wild vegetables anymore."

"Forget it, don't think too much about it. It'll give you a headache. Let's just follow the arrangements of the village chief and the elders."

"Yes, as long as the village chief and the elders are here, we don't have to worry. We just need to obey and do as they say."

The village chief and the elders were listening to the villagers' conversation, feeling both amused and angry.

The villagers have little knowledge and rarely go out. Most of them are illiterate and do not understand many fundamental principles.

However, since they are all from the same clan, the elders in the family will tell their children that it’s okay if they don’t understand what the village chief and the elders say, just be obedient.

Therefore, the village chief and the elders are basically the most concerned people in the village. They are the spiritual pillars of the villagers. With them, the villagers will not be afraid.

Now that the Yun family has Yun Yiyi, Yun Yiyi will also help with village affairs, and the pressure on the village chief and clan elders is much less than before.
