A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 123 This is just too tragic!
Jiang Yi hurriedly went to stay up all night, while Xia Ning closed her eyes and continued sleeping...
"Xia Ning, get up and take your medicine!"
She limply stretched out her hand, "I'll do it!"
so bitter!
He frowned, finished his drink, and then popped a piece of candy into his mouth.
I never imagined I was so weak; I collapsed after just two days in the cold wind.
Lying in bed, listless.
"Go and rest, I'm fine."
"You can sleep by yourself."
Jiang Yi naturally refused to leave. After being together for so long, this was the first time he had seen her so vulnerable, and his heart ached.
He glared back at the two wolves. It was all because of them, always picking fights. He'd just kill them when they really angered him, saving him from a lifetime of trouble and preventing Xiao Ning from worrying about this mess.
The two wolves retreated further and further, whimpering... Big brother is too scary, so terrifying! It's not like they were the ones choosing; it's just that the owner wanted to find a good one.
They didn't want to come here to look for it either. They go out every day and freeze like dogs, and now he's even yelling at them. They're really upset, okay?
The two wolves quietly, quietly left the room. Only after they were outside did they dare to breathe deeply. Their older brother was no longer the brother who used to dote on them.
They used to be number one, but now the owner is number one, and they've fallen out of favor!
Looking at her sleeping face, Jiang Yi felt he had to persuade Xia Ning to stop obsessing over finding the mother wolf.
If you have it, keep it; if you don't, don't bother looking for it. If all else fails, just have the governors in charge of the trade go look for it.
When she woke up, she saw Jiang Yi by her bedside and two wolves guarding the door. Her whole family was watching over her!
"Jiang Yi?"
"You're awake. Are you still feeling unwell?" A large hand touched her forehead. It wasn't hot anymore, but her face looked a little pale.
"My head is a little sore. What would you like to eat?"
"Anything is fine. What would you like to eat? Do you want me to make you some porridge?"
"No need, there's plenty of it ready. Just brew me some medicine in a bit."
"Ah."
Seeing her chapped lips, I suggested, "Drink some water."
Xia Ning held the cup and took a small sip. "Were you scared?"
Jiang Yi pursed his lips. "Once you're better, let's leave this place. There are no animals on this mountain, let alone wolves. Let's go to the capital. There are many noble people there; maybe someone will keep them as pets."
Yes, she remembered that some wealthy people in the Middle East kept lions and tigers as pets. Maybe they really do. Sigh, it's just finding a female wolf, why is it so hard?
"Jiang Yi, have I been exercising too little lately? How come I got sick from just a bit of cold wind?"
It's upsetting to think about. She's not Lin Daiyu; she's not so fragile that she'd fall over in the wind.
"Do you know how cold it is here? I told you to wear more clothes, but you said it would affect our speed and refused to wear more."
That's true, the snow-capped mountains here are at least minus ten degrees Celsius, it's really cold.
“Xiao Ning, look at this mountain. There isn’t even a blade of grass. There can’t be any wolves here. How can we survive? We must have been tricked.”
She had the same doubt: who could survive in a place like this, living on air and snow? "Alright, let's stop looking for it. We'll talk about it later."
Jiang Yi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she stopped looking for him, that was good. He was really afraid that she wouldn't leave.
After taking the medicine, Xia Ning slept for a while longer.
Illness strikes like a landslide. Jiang Yi, who was always lively and energetic, suddenly found himself lying in bed all day, feeling indescribably unwell.
Xia Ning never expected that she would be sick for so long, with fevers coming back and going, going back and forth.
She had to take bitter medicine three times a day, and it made her feel like she was eating bitter melon.
Jiang Yi was also anxiously pacing around her, his dark circles under his eyes growing deeper.
Three days later, the illness stopped recurring and the fever subsided, but even so, Jiang Yi was still not at ease.
Xiao Ning's body is really too fragile. He needs to take better care of her from now on and make sure she doesn't catch a cold again.
This time, he really was careless.
After a serious illness, his face had thinned considerably, and his already frail body looked even more thin. His heart ached terribly. Thankfully, they had their spatial ability this time; otherwise, he truly didn't know what to do.
After resting for three more days, she was full of energy again. No longer wasting time, she teleported down the mountain.
"To the capital?"
"Yes, let's go to the capital."
How could she not go and see the capital of Great Xia, its economic and political center!
With most parts of the country experiencing natural disasters, how are they surviving? Are they also suffering the same hardships?
According to Zhao Yunpeng, although no major natural disasters have struck Beijing, many refugees have fled there. With so many refugees, the need for supplies is immense, and without outside aid, things must be tough for them.
The distance between the capital city and the snow-capped mountains is about 600 li, which is equivalent to teleporting 12 times.
All along the way was covered in white snow, and she was also wearing a snow-white cloak.
She stopped a hundred miles outside the city, because there, a large number of disaster victims had gathered. They had all built their own makeshift shelters, and although it was late at night, it was anything but quiet.
The sounds of arguing, children crying, adults crying, talking, and sighing rose and fell.
"Why are there so many people here?" And it's so lively.
"We don't know, what should we do?"
It's so cold, and she's just recovered from a serious illness; she definitely can't stay out overnight.
"Let's go somewhere further away, hide inside and sleep for the night, and come out tomorrow."
"Okay." He was relieved that he wouldn't have to sleep outside.
"In this cold weather, lacking food and clothing, they can only set up tents here. It seems that the capital is unwilling to accept refugees, or even expelling them."
Xia Ning nodded. Reaching the capital was no easy feat; to be turned away upon arrival only amplified their despair.
Who gave this order? It must have been the person in the highest position.
In the freezing cold, the emperor in the palace remained indifferent to the plight of his people. With such an emperor, it's no wonder that the entire country suffered famine, yet no one provided disaster relief.
No wonder Zhao Yunpeng said that person was so indifferent, showing no respect whatsoever for the emperor that a subject should have.
"Jiang Yi, what do you think we should do if that person in the capital doesn't take any action?"
“Kill him and replace him with someone more capable.”
It's simple and straightforward, but it's the quickest way to solve the problem.
However, who can guarantee that the next emperor will be one who truly cares for the people? Throughout history, there have been few truly virtuous emperors.
If it were a young emperor, and the ministers controlled the government and used him to command the other lords, things would be even more disastrous.
Let's see how things go tomorrow.
If that doesn't work, she'll go to the palace to scare that scoundrel and maybe steal some treasures.
The palace must have been filled with jewelry and jade artifacts, which must have been very beautiful.
Sell some of it to her to buy grain to help the disaster victims. That's good, that's good.
The next day, Xia Ning didn't stay in bed; she had something on her mind and couldn't sleep.
Although it's bright on a snowy day, it's still not as clear as during the day.
With just one glance, her heart sank to the ground.
This is too bad!
