"Sister, she's not really dead, is she?"

"It's just right that she died. She was so fat, I don't know how much food we could get from selling her."

Jiang Jinhe just woke up and heard such a cold conversation.

What do you mean? You want to eat people?

She struggled to open her eyes, but the glaring light made her tears stream down.

The scorching wind blew past my ears, burning my skin all over.

Jiang Jinhe's throat was so dry that it was smoking. He hadn't had water in a long time, and his lips were covered with dead skin.

She struggled to get up, but the ground her hands touched was as hard as lava, hot and rough, without even a trace of a grass root.

What’s even more shocking is that the “hand” in front of you doesn’t look like a hand!

Five fat, white, bug-like creatures were poking at the ground.

Heaviness in the body and nausea in the chest.

The person lying there was a pupa-like woman weighing two hundred pounds!

Jiang Jinhe's mind was in a mess.

What exactly is going on?

She went into the mountains to look for food, but fell off a cliff just to pick a wild mushroom. Was she reborn?

As if to confirm her thoughts, a whip whistled and hit her on the back, and she cried out, "Sister! She's still alive!"

"Keep beating her while she's still alive! These days, everyone is in danger. She even dared to steal my Huzi's corn steamed buns to eat. It's obvious that she wants to kill Huzi!"

"Right! Well said! Jiang Jinhe, that ugly fat girl, is still this fat during a famine. She must have secretly eaten a lot of food without our knowledge! Let's kill her. Her meat will definitely be more delicious than pork when cooked!"

There was a lot of noise around, and the extremely hungry roars made Jiang Jinhe feel a chill in his heart.

These people don't even look like human beings, they are just wolves with red eyes due to starvation!

When you see fat meat, you want to get a piece of it!

Jiang Jinhe never expected that as soon as he traveled through time, he would send people living in peacetime to the famine in ancient times!

But fortunately, she was the one who traveled through time, and as Jiang Jinhe, who had just won the International Wilderness Survival Competition, she immediately came up with a plan.

Seeing the whip about to fall again, she grabbed it directly and stared at the person wielding the whip: "Sister-in-law, you said I stole Hu Zi's steamed bread, do you have any evidence?"

Zhang Xiuqin didn't expect Jiang Jinhe to dare to resist. Her thin eyes widened:

"What evidence do I need to arrest you? You've been doing nothing in the village all day, like a pig in a pen! If you're hungry and have nothing to eat, it would be strange if you didn't come to my house and steal food!"

Jiang Jinhe chuckled when she heard this: "Yes, I am a pig! That's because my man is capable. He can feed the whole family by hunting every day. But you! Big brother is even more useless than me, why would I go to your house to steal food?"

As she spoke, she looked up at the scorching sun and said, "Sister-in-law, the sun has just risen. I can find steamed buns in your house so early in the morning. Does this mean you have a lot of food stored at home?"

Just a few words exploded in everyone's heart like a thunderclap, and everyone came to their senses.

What did Zhang Xiuqin say just now?

She said Jiang Jinhe stole her steamed buns!

The Great Xia Kingdom had been suffering from a severe drought for five years! During these five years, the entire country had no harvest and no food to eat.

Now villagers are thankful to find fresh bark.

Zhang Xiuqin is a woman of decent family, but she actually said that she has steamed cornbread at home. What does this mean?

She has rice and flour hidden at home!

When the villagers thought of these two things, they instantly turned into hungry wolves, swallowing their saliva with glittering eyes:

"Song's daughter-in-law, you hid such precious rice and flour and didn't share it with others, but secretly enjoyed it yourself? I'm going to tell the village chief!"

"Zhang Xiuqin, you'll be kicked out for hiding food! If you don't want to die, hand over the food immediately!"

"Why waste time talking to her? Why don't we just go to her house and search for food?"

Zhang Xiuqin was so frightened that she burst into tears and fell to her knees, begging repeatedly, "Don't do this! We really have no food left! Not even a bit!"

These people are absolutely crazy!

These days, which household doesn’t have some food stored away?

It's just that everyone hides it and doesn't let outsiders know.

There was really not much left in her house, only the last half pound of flour buried in the soil.

If they are discovered, how will their family survive?

With nowhere else to turn, Zhang Xiuqin cried for help from her aunt, Xie Xiaofang, the woman who had just affectionately called her sister.

"Xiaofang, come and save me! Please be my witness! We can't even afford to eat!"

Her voice was full of sadness, but Xie Xiaofang seemed not to hear it at all. She had been smiling and trying to please people just now, but now she had secretly slipped to the other side of the crowd and ignored her sister-in-law who was surrounded by the villagers.

Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe shook his head helplessly.

This is human nature. In this year of famine, who are the friends or enemies?

People like Zhang Xiuqin think they can bully others by relying on their numbers, but they don't realize that they are also a piece of fat meat in the eyes of others.

Jiang Jinhe supported himself with his blood-stained arm and wanted to go home, but unfortunately he bumped into a "wall".

A man's voice came from above my head.

"What are you doing?"

The sound is really nice, like the ringing of an ancient bell, clear and magnetic.

Jiang Jinhe couldn't help but feel a little excited when she heard this, but when she looked up, she was frightened.

What an ugly man!

The man was nearly two meters tall and strong, carrying a bundle of firewood on his shoulders.

If you don't look at her face, her figure is definitely model-level, but she has an ugly face that is scary.

His entire face was almost covered by mud, and his original features could not be seen. Only a scar extending from his left eyebrow to his chin was particularly conspicuous.

The scar was so long that it looked like a centipede lying on the face, making people afraid to look at it any longer.

Jiang Jinhe's memory told her that this person was the one she mentioned as "somewhat capable", the original owner's husband, Song Wenqin.

Song Wenqin is a hunter and the most capable of the Song brothers.

Despite the disaster lasting for so long, he had married a plump wife for so many years and never let the original owner get too hungry. This shows his ability to find food.

But no matter how capable he was, he was not popular in the village.

the reason is simple.

This ugly face and his weird personality make people feel unlucky, as if they have seen a ghost.

Zhang Xiuqin was originally trapped in the crowd, but when she saw her younger brother appear, she became braver.

Or rather, she saw the dry firewood on Song Wenqin's back and was so excited that she forgot her fear and ran straight to Song Wenqin.

"You're finally back! Did you bring any food? Did you get any food while hunting?"

Zhang Xiuqin touched Song Wenqin like crazy, from top to bottom, but found nothing except the dry firewood on his back.

Seeing this, she felt very disappointed: "Don't you usually find something? Why can't you find anything today?"

After hearing this, Song Wenqin said nothing and did not react at all. He just let Zhang Xiuqin perform a one-man show, and his disappointment turned into anger.

"never mind."
