Traveling Through Farmhouses: Taking the Baby on a Famine Escape

Little Jin looked at Zhang Xixi with a wronged expression. Did Master really not have any more spiritual spring water?

Zhang Xixi looked at Xiao Jin sincerely, it was true!

When Xiao Jin told Xiao Hua the bad news, the two tigers immediately became dejected and raised their big heads to look at Zhang Xixi with a pitiful expression!

Zhang Xixi felt very uncomfortable being stared at, and a strange sense of guilt rose in her heart.

"Little Jin, you'll have to make do for the next few months! Your master had no choice; who knew disaster would strike out of nowhere!"

The two tigers remained silent, their large eyes fixed on Zhang Xixi.

What the heck! Something's not right!

Zhang Xixi suddenly realized, "I'm your master, shouldn't I be able to do whatever I say?"

"Anyway, the spiritual spring water is gone!"

Zhang Xixi pretended to be angry, said a few words, and went to tease the sharp-beaked chicken!

Seeing that its owner was angry, Xiao Jin had no choice but to exchange glances with his wife and give in! He walked over, rubbed against Zhang Xixi's thigh, and even barked twice!

Master, don't be angry, the tiger will listen to you!

Zhang Xixi understood what Xiao Jin meant, bent down, and comforted it.

"Okay, I'm not angry anymore."

Little Jin let out a shout at the sharp-beaked chicken before returning to its wife's side.

The sharp-beaked chicken acted as if nothing had happened. It opened its eyes, glanced at Xiao Jin, and then closed them again to rest. It didn't even move its position. The ducks next to it were also unmoved by Xiao Jin's shouts and were still happily eating wheat bran!

When Zhang Xixi saw this scene, her eyes flashed. Could these ducks be deaf? Because they are deaf, they are not afraid of people and do not care about any living creatures in the outside world. They live in their own world.

Wow! This place is really strange!

However, as long as it doesn't affect growth, Zhang Xixi thought nonchalantly.

When Zhang Xixi returned home, she saw that Old Wang was actually at her house. She looked at Chen with questioning eyes.

Madam Chen shook her head. This old woman, Wang, had been here for quite a while, only saying that she wanted to find her daughter, but she hadn't said what it was about!

When Old Wang saw Zhang Xixi, she was so excited that she rushed forward and grabbed Zhang Xixi's hand, "Sister-in-law! You're finally back!"

Hearing this address made Zhang Xixi uneasy; the visitor seemed to have ill intentions.

Zhang Xixi didn't say anything, but forcefully pulled her hand away from Old Wang's grasp, walked to Zhang Dacheng's side, and asked, "Sister-in-law Wang, is there something you need?"

Old Wang said sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, did you know all along that the greenhouse would collapse?"

Zhang Xixi looked bewildered. "I don't know! I can't predict the future!"

Old Mrs. Wang grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, don't lie to me. You didn't know you would harvest the vegetables ahead of time!"

"I really didn't know! I just happened to be in the wrong place at the right time!"

Seeing that Old Madam Wang still didn't believe her, Zhang Xixi didn't explain further, but coldly asked, "What brings you here?"

"It's nothing, I just came to thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for!" Zhang Xixi thought to herself, "Could this person have damaged their brain?"

"It's getting late, you guys keep going, I'll be going now!"

Zhang Xixi was even more puzzled when she saw Old Wang Shi leave the Zhang family home with a happy expression and humming a little tune!

"Mother, what exactly is Sister Wang here for?"

"I don't know either, I was completely confused!" Mrs. Chen also looked bewildered.

At this moment, Madam Chen came over and said, "Little sister, I know."

Both Chen and Zhang Xixi looked at her, gesturing for her to speak quickly and not keep them in suspense.

Chen said in a low voice, "It is said that yesterday, when Granny Wang saw that my younger sister had brought the vegetables back, she not only picked all the vegetables from her own garden, but also set up a betting game, betting on whether the greenhouse would collapse tomorrow. You know that the villagers are very idle, and most of them participated. Then today the greenhouse really did collapse, and she made a lot of money."

Zhang Xixi was speechless. This Granny Wang was really something else!

Chen asked in bewilderment, "How did she know it would collapse today!"

When Madam Chen looked at Zhang Xixi, she understood. It was all because of her daughter.

Zhang Xixi asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, you don't really think I can predict the future, do you?!"

"It's not just our opinion, it's the villagers' opinion. After this greenhouse collapse, they'll definitely believe it!"

"It's all rumors!" Zhang Xixi said with a bitter face, worried that she might be mistaken for a charlatan.

Seeing Zhang Xixi's troubled expression, Chen comforted her, "What's there to worry about? You didn't personally make any prophecies. It will all calm down in time!"

Clearly, Chen had forgotten Zhang Xixi's dream about the beast attack, but apart from Zhou Dashan's family, no one else in the village knew about it, so there wouldn't be any problem.

Zhang Xixi thought to herself, "I'll just deny it to the death. What can they do to me?"

As expected, wild animals came on the day of Fu Bao's full moon celebration. There were many wolves, tigers, bears and other carnivores. They stood on the mountain and looked at Zhang Xixi and her group's camp. Vultures were also observing the land from above.

When the villagers saw this, they immediately panicked! Some of the more timid children even started crying.

"Chief, there are so many wild beasts!"

"Can't they really see us?!"

Zhou Dashan stood up and reassured everyone, "Don't worry, as long as we don't go out, those wild beasts won't be able to see us, so don't panic, just do what you're supposed to do!"

"Chieftain, being stared at by so many wild beasts is making me uneasy and panicked, what should I do!"

Actually, Zhou Dashan was also feeling uneasy. He had only pretended to be calm. So he whispered to Zhang Xixi, "Sister-in-law, can't you really see us?"

"Don't worry! They really can't see us!" Seeing everyone's fear, Zhang Xixi even walked to the edge and took a stroll. Even though they were so close, the wild animals didn't do anything.

Everyone was relieved, but just in case, Zhou Dashan still arranged for more than ten people to keep an eye on the movements on the mountain.

Da Bao and his friends had a day off from school today. Seeing so many wild animals, they ran to the edge of the cliff to watch them and were excitedly discussing which animal was the most powerful.

The wild animals didn't leave until after lunch. The villagers became bolder and started going to the edge of the mountains in groups of four or five, carrying umbrellas, to watch the animals. To be honest, they had never really appreciated the wild animals in the mountains before!

Zhang Xixi looked at the giant python and felt a chill run down her spine. This snake could swallow a whole person whole when it opened its blood-red maw.

Changing direction, Zhang Xixi saw tigers just like Xiao Hua, all spotted tigers, none of them solid-colored, and they looked rather disheveled!

The villagers treated the wild animals like they were in a zoo, commenting on them thoroughly. Not satisfied, they even planned to get a closer look, but were scolded by the village elders.
