Chapter 378 Arouses suspicion
Ye Li mustered up the courage to walk a little closer, wanting to see clearly what was going on inside the dark thatched hut.
"Hey, Ye Li, what are you doing?" Jiang Yunfei happened to be returning home. Seeing Ye Li walking towards the big guy's thatched house, she quickly grabbed her.
"He seems to be asking for help." Ye Li said.
Jiang Yunfei glanced at him and said, "Humph, he must be hungry. He eats and does nothing all day long, how can he eat? Don't worry about him! He's just a fool anyway. If he starves to death, he'll be free sooner."
Jiang Yunfei held Ye Li tightly and refused to let go. Ye Li didn't want to meddle in other people's business anymore, so he went home with Jiang Yunfei.
When he got home, he found a lot of fish hanging on the doorstep, still alive and kicking. This spectacular sight left Ye Li stunned.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunfei covered her mouth and laughed: "It seems that many men in our tribe like you."
"Hehe..." Ye Li laughed awkwardly twice.
Jiang Yunfei offered some advice, saying, "You can't eat all the fish at once. Dispose of the internal organs and either hang them up to dry in the sun or smoke them."
"Oh, I understand."
Jiang Yunfei went back to her home.
Ye Li took the fish down and put it in a bucket beside him, then gathered the firewood together, put the fruit in a bowl and washed it, and started to make a fire to prepare to cook dinner.
The food for dinner was a bit too much. She couldn't eat so much by herself. It would be a pity to throw it away, but if she left it there, it would definitely go bad tomorrow.
Ye Li unconsciously thought of the big fool. Why not send the food to him?
Ye Li thought this idea was feasible, so he piled all the leftover food neatly on a plate, and then went to the big guy's thatched hut under the cover of night.
Ye Li didn't want to be seen by others. If she did, there would be a lot of people talking nonsense and she would become the center of everyone's attention. How could she find Xiao Xun then?
Every wooden house they passed by had a small lamp on, except for the big guy's house. It was pitch black inside and they couldn't see anything clearly.
Ye Li walked to the thatched hut and placed a large plate of food next to the door. She said to the people inside, "I've put the food here for you. Get up and take it. I'll give you the plate too."
Ye Li walked away after he finished speaking. Before he had gone far, he subconsciously turned back to take a look. In the dim moonlight, Ye Li saw a hand reaching out from the triangular thatched hut and bringing the plate of food in.
"Haha..." Ye Li smiled and then turned around and went back home.
On the second day, Ye Li and Jiang Yunfei made an appointment to pick soapberries to make cleaning products.
On the way to pick soapberries, he passed by Shada's house and saw a clean plate at the door. It was the plate that Ye Li had brought him food last night.
Jiang Yunfei followed her gaze and smiled, saying, "This fool is quite clever. He put out a plate to beg for food. But whose food isn't found through hard work? How can you use your own food to feed a useless fool?"
Jiang Yunfei was right. Life is not easy these days. How could there be enough food to feed a fool?
Ye Li put the matter of the big fool behind his mind, and worked and chatted with the women along with Jiang Yunfei, and then quietly inquired about the situation.
"Apart from me, an outsider, are there other outsiders?"
The woman replied, "Yes, there are several every year. Our place is becoming less and less safe. It's not hidden at all."
"Who are these people?"
The woman replied, "Who could it be? Aren't they all refugees from the disaster?"
"Are they all staying?"
The woman replied, "Of course I stayed. Where else could I go?"
"Are there more men or women?"
