The shopkeeper was now in a dilemma. The silver was easy to obtain, but the two hundred taels of grain were a different story. There was a grain shortage at the moment, and even he couldn't purchase that much grain.

"Miss Lu, do you need so much grain? Are you going to hide here from the famine?" the shopkeeper asked, his smile fading.

"Why not?" Lu Qiqi retorted.

Staying in a familiar place with food and no fear of going hungry is probably a safer option than fleeing famine, since many refugees starve to death on their way out.

Seeing that Lu Qiqi was completely unaware of the situation, the shopkeeper couldn't bear it and sighed, "Miss Lu, you should escape as soon as possible. I received a letter yesterday saying that the Tartars will be coming to kill us soon. The Tartars are barbaric by nature, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of evil. Staying here may not be good."

Lu Qiqi frowned. She had originally planned to find a secluded place to hide with A Yao, where they would have enough food and water, and wait until the famine was over before coming out.

But that won't work now; it seems the only option is to flee the famine with the village chief.

"One hundred taels of grain, salt, and oil, and two hundred taels of loose silver. Manager, please help me think of a way. If you need anything good in the future, Tongfu Pawnshop should be your first choice." Tongfu Pawnshop has branches in various places. Lu Qiqi knew that it was impossible for her to purchase so much grain in a short time. She had money but no connections, so she could only rely on the manager for help.

After a moment's thought, the shopkeeper nodded in agreement: "When will you come to collect it, young lady?"

Before Lu Qiqi arrived, she had planned to take the grain back after the villagers fled the famine the day after tomorrow, but that's no longer an option.

She thought to herself, "If only she had a spatial ability like the other transmigrators."

Suddenly, Lu Qiqi heard the sound of water, as if a waterfall was cascading down from the mountains.

She closed her eyes and found herself standing in front of a wooden house. Not far away was a small waterfall about two meters wide, surrounded by green grass and trees, like a paradise.

Good heavens, her cheat ability has finally appeared! Lu Qiqi has traveled through time with her spatial ability.
