Then, it was Fan Li's turn to appear.
Fan Li was on a separate small boat, seemingly not with Li Ruo. He sold grain to the people, who then exchanged it for treasures, land deeds, and field deeds.
But these common people are a bit poor. They only got three million points for those treasures, and they still need two million more to unlock the space entry function.
She didn't dare go too far, and would return every few days. On the way back, she was having hot pot with Xu Dafu, Fan Li and a few others when suddenly Guazi ran in, "There's a raft ahead, and someone on it is shouting for help."
Li Ruo and Xu Dafu went outside and saw five people on the small boat. All of them had swollen and pale faces, and there were constant coughing sounds. One of them was coughing so hard that he couldn't breathe.

At first, they refused to tell, but under Xu Dafu's coercion and enticement, they finally said that they came from Chenzhou. The family of five had barely survived the harsh winter on the mountain, but people started dying on the mountain a month ago. Some said it was from catching a cold, but as more and more people died, everyone felt something was wrong and they all made rafts to escape.
