A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!

"Three bushels it is. As long as we get through this cold wave and the weather gets better, we can plant crops and we won't starve."

He knew that Master Bai was taking advantage of the situation and deliberately driving down the price, but what could he do? The cold snap had lasted for months, and there really wasn't a single grain of rice left in the house. Was he really going to starve to death?

At that time, who would be willing to lend grain? Everyone was tightening their belts to make ends meet.

Unbeknownst to them, Xia Fuxi was hiding outside and eavesdropping on their conversation.

She thought they were secretly eating behind her back, and that they were so hungry they were peeking outside the door to see where the food was hidden so she could steal some. Little did she know, they really had run out of food. And they wanted to sell her to buy more.

Xia Fuxi glared at the family with hatred. They actually wanted her dead! She wouldn't let them succeed. Trying to sell her? Dream on!

Without a moment's hesitation, under the cover of night, she secretly slipped out of the small courtyard and ran towards the end of the village...

Day two.

"Where is Fuxi?" the old lady asked softly, looking at her eldest daughter-in-law.

Today is the day to send her to the Bai family. Nothing can go wrong. Her eldest grandson is so hungry he's rolling his eyes back, and so is she. Her legs are shaking, and she can barely speak.

"I guess they haven't gotten up yet." They've been like this for days, lying in bed all day to reduce their energy expenditure.

"Go and wake her up, hurry up," the old woman ordered her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Ai!"

She couldn't bear to sell her daughter, but what could she do? The family was truly starving, and she couldn't borrow any more. It was all that little bitch Xia Ning's fault. If Xia Ning hadn't run away, her daughter wouldn't have had to be sold.

Wiping away her tears, she staggered to her daughter's room, leaning against the courtyard wall. She was so hungry that her steps were unsteady and her vision was blurry.

"Fuxi, are you up yet?"

No one responded.

She sensed something was wrong. Had her daughter starved to death? Why was she ignoring her? She quickly pushed open the door, but the room was empty.

What about people?

"Mother, something terrible has happened! Fuxi has disappeared!"

Seeing her panicked eldest daughter-in-law, the old woman frowned unhappily. What do you mean she's gone? Where could she have gone in this freezing weather?

The eldest daughter-in-law must be starving!

I tiptoed around the yard, then went to check the outhouse. The brat was really gone!

Oh no, it’s all over!

"Old man, something's happened!"

Old Master Xia couldn't find his eldest daughter anywhere, and his face turned ashen. Could it be that she knew about being sold and ran away?

How to do?

Without anyone, what will they use to exchange for food?

Xia Laoda was in despair; he felt that fate was against him!

Meanwhile, Xia Fuxi was comfortably lying in his warm bed, munching on a large piece of dark cornbread.

The old bachelor at the village entrance stared at her for a long time. Normally, she would never have fallen for someone like him. But what could she do? Now, only he could save her. She had no choice but to rely on him.

Xia Fuxi was still munching on her cornbread when a pair of groping hands slipped into the bed and tugged at her clothes. She suppressed her disgust and slapped his hand away, saying, "I'm eating!"

The old bachelor wasn't angry at all, he just chuckled foolishly, "You eat yours, I'll do mine. It's alright."

The person he had longed for for years was now in his bed. If he didn't do something with her, he couldn't call himself a man.

The man grinned lewdly, snatched the cornbread from Xia Fuxi's hand, and placed it on the bedside table. "Eat it later, I'll give you two!" he said, then pinned her down.

Damn it, what happened to not interfering with either of them?

...............................

"Jiang Yi, what are we having for lunch?"

She was too lazy to think about it and handed over the choice of meals to the man every day.

"Boiled fish, braised pork, braised chicken."

Xia Ning's lips twitched slightly. You really know how to eat!

"After the meal, you continue to stew mung bean soup, and we'll drink it when there's a drought." This big eater can't just eat for free; he has to do some work.

"Okay, iced."

He knew that drought would bring heat.

"Great, I want it ice-cold."

Xia Ning praised him, feeling that the best thing she had ever done was to keep the three brothers alive.

She now knew that Jiang Yi and the two wolves were brothers, but as for why they were brothers, or why he was with the wolves, he couldn't explain. She only knew that the wolf cubs' parents were dead, but she didn't understand how they died. She figured they were killed by wild animals, at most.

Upon entering the yard, dozens of baskets of melons and fruits were placed out, frozen solid, and then brought back inside to continue the process.

She froze the most watermelons, especially.

My family members all have big appetites, so it's always good to have extra food on hand.

These past few days, there's been constant knocking on the courtyard door, but Xia Ning has never paid any attention. She doesn't open the door for anyone who knocks; they're all just asking for grain, nothing more to say. The two little ones have grown up; they look like they're almost adults now.

Jiang Yi would occasionally take them to the mountains to let them roam freely and teach them how to hunt. Watching them fiercely tear raw meat apart, Xia Ning felt that if anyone dared to break in, she wouldn't mind letting the wolves bite them.

Of course, she couldn't feed them human flesh, for fear that if they tasted it, they would become interested and try to take advantage of her.

"Jiang Yi, shall we have barbecue tonight?"

Suddenly, she had a craving for delicious roasted meat. She had even ordered a frying pan beforehand so she could use it to roast meat.

"it is good!"

He likes all kinds of meat. Nothing Xiao Ning makes is bad.

The aroma of the barbecue was so overpowering that she was afraid of incurring public wrath, so she kept the windows and doors tightly shut and the two of them hid in the main room to slowly grill the meat.

She never expected that even with just a crack in the door for ventilation, the smell of meat would still waft out. A person who's been starving for months has a nose that's sharper than a dog's.

That evening, an uninvited guest arrived at her home.

Jiang Yi doesn't like ginger, but he loves spicy food. After watching Xia Ning grill it once, he learned how to grill it himself. He added plenty of chili powder.

Xia Ning's temples throbbed. Was this man trying to scorch her so he could inherit her spatial ability?

He quietly took out a large watermelon and cut it in half.

The two little ones saw this, sidled up to her feet, and stared at the watermelon, drooling. She quietly took out another one and cut it in half.

I'm glad I was greedy enough when I was stockpiling things, hoarding everything to the extreme.

I took a bite of Jiang Yi's barbecue and almost died from the spiciness. Is this guy actually from Sichuan?

Pour the whole pot into his bowl and bake it again.

"Don't put in so much chili, or I'll get angry!" she warned.

She also loves spicy food, but not as insanely spicy as this man; it was practically morbid.

Jiang Yi scratched his head, glanced at her guiltily, and then, as expected, only sprinkled a tiny bit of chili powder into the next pot.

The barbecue was delicious; it took two whole hours to grill it. In the end, she had to take ten steamed buns and two large pig's trotters to barely finish.

Eating meat without drinking alcohol is like walking a wasted life. Jiang Yi doesn't like it, only Xia Ning drinks a little.
