Crossing the famine to find the white moonlight

As the famine-stricken people endured their arduous journey, Ye Wan's kindness and wisdom, like a ray of warm light, gradually illuminated the hearts of the entire group. Time and again, she helped people through crises, distributing food, finding water, and teaching them to identify wild vegetables. Her selflessness gave them hope in desperate situations. Under her leadership, the elderly and the weak in the group gradually regained some vitality, their eyes filled with trust and admiration for her.

These days, Ye Wan is no longer the unknown village girl; she's become the "Miss Wan" people rely on and respect. Her kindness and calm decisions have given everyone a sense of support while fleeing famine. More and more people are willing to follow her lead, actively cooperating with her arrangements, and even consciously following her advice on certain details.

One morning, Ye Wan was leading a group of young adults in identifying wild vegetables in a wasteland, followed by several elderly people and women. They followed quietly, noticing her movements and listening carefully to her instructions. Holding a wild vegetable, she patiently explained its characteristics: "This is wild leek. Although it has a pungent smell, it can help us replenish our energy. Everyone, remember its appearance. When you see it again, you'll know to pick it to satisfy your hunger."

An elderly man approached cautiously, his eyes filled with admiration and gratitude, and whispered, "Miss Wan, you have taught us so much along the way, and that's why we old bones can hold on. Without you, we would have died long ago."

Ye Wan smiled lightly and said gently: "We are all fleeing famine together, and only by helping each other can we go further. I just did what I could." Her tone was gentle and firm, without a trace of boasting or taking credit.

The elderly listened to her words and exchanged grateful glances. Some of them were already old and frail, and if it weren't for Ye Wan's help, they might have collapsed long ago. Now, not only had they rekindled their hope for survival, they had also learned how to forage for food in the wilderness and eke out a living. Everyone nodded, taking her guidance to heart.

That evening, some of the young and elderly in the camp gathered and spontaneously discussed their next journey. One young man stepped forward and said, "We've all survived this journey thanks to Miss Wan. She's smarter and kinder than anyone else. I think we should listen to her advice no matter what we encounter from now on. That way, we'll have a better chance of survival."

The women and the elderly nearby nodded in agreement, "Yes, Miss Wan has a plan. She's thinking about everyone's safety, so we can't go wrong with her."

Ye Wan listened silently as the discussion reached her ears. A complex mix of emotions welled up within her. She hadn't expected to be considered the leader of the group, but she also understood that she had already assumed that role. Looking at the people around her, whose hope for survival had been rekindled thanks to her, she felt a deep sense of responsibility.

At night, Ye Wan sat alone at the edge of the camp, gazing at the pitch-black sky and pondering her future. She realized she was no longer just a village girl fleeing famine, but now she was leading a group of people who trusted and depended on her. Every decision she made depended on their lives; the slightest mistake could lead to irreversible consequences.

At this moment, her mother, Ye Cui Niang, quietly walked up to her and whispered, "Awan, these people regard you as their backbone. You've done a great job. I know you have a kind heart and have endured a lot along the way. I support you. No matter what decision you make, I will follow you."

Ye Wan's eyes moistened as she listened to her mother's words. She held her mother's hand and nodded gently, "Don't worry, Mom. I will do my best to protect everyone. As long as everyone trusts me, I will take them on and find a place where they can live in peace."

Ye Cuiniang, her mother, nodded silently, her eyes full of support and trust. She patted Ye Wan's shoulder and said soothingly, "Awan, you are a good child. Remember, no matter how difficult it is, we are always by your side."

The next morning, Ye Wan led the group on their journey again. Along the way, people spontaneously gathered around her, some helping her share supplies, while others volunteered to stand guard over her and her family, ensuring their safety. This silent support warmed and comforted Ye Wan, knowing that her act of kindness had taken root in their hearts, and everyone was willing to do their best to help her and her family.

In the days that followed, Ye Wan continued to guide the group in their search for food and water, guided by the system's instructions. She taught them how to navigate the wilderness, predict the weather, and even the simple use of herbs. Her wisdom and patience earned them a growing reliance on her. Everyone in the group viewed her as a leader, seeking her advice and counsel first, no matter what problem they encountered.

One night, a young mother came up to Ye Wan with her child and said with tears in her eyes, "Miss Wan, I really don't know how to repay you. If you hadn't taught us how to find water and wild vegetables, my child would have died long ago. You are truly our benefactor."

Ye Wan smiled and patted her shoulder, saying softly, "We are all trying to survive on this difficult road. As long as we support each other, we will definitely go further. You must be strong too. The child needs you."

The young mother nodded, hugged her child tightly, and looked at Ye Wan with gratitude, as if she was their savior.

On this arduous journey of fleeing famine, Ye Wan's every decision and every act of assistance deepened everyone's trust in her. Her kindness, wisdom, and calmness were like an invisible force, supporting people in their despair.

Over time, Ye Wan gradually became a recognized leader within the team, her every word and every decision respected. Even some of the young men in the team began to admire her decisiveness and calmness. They would proactively ask her for survival tips, and even consciously stay by her side to protect her and her family when they encountered danger.
