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

The same goes for old bachelors; the louder she shouts, the more excited and proud he becomes, because it shows he's capable and can satisfy his woman!

The paper could never cover up the truth; the two of them sometimes went too far in their playful antics, showing absolutely no restraint.

Finally, a villager who occasionally came out to find food passed by his house and heard the noise.

Good heavens, this guy's been a bachelor for ages, why is there a woman in his house, and so shamelessly, in broad daylight, how utterly shameless...

Someone reported it to the village chief, believing that the old bachelor was seriously affecting the village's reputation. To do this in broad daylight, without any restraint, was truly...

The village chief wrapped his cotton-padded coat tighter and slowly walked out of the house. They were practically starving, yet he still had the mind to play these silly games. The village chief was furious. It was good he hadn't caught him; if he had, he would definitely teach the old bachelor a lesson. Where did this shameless scoundrel find such a harlot?

When he arrived at the bachelor's house, he heard a noise at the door before he even went inside.

His old face turned bright red. This was outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! How shameless! In broad daylight, this was indecent!

He banged his cane on the ground, trying to alert the person inside, but it made no sound when it hit the snow.

Instead, the people inside seemed to be yelling at him, and their voices grew louder.

He was so angry he almost had a stroke. Too ashamed to go inside, he turned around and found a few strong men from the village to knock on the door with him.

The burly men arrived, and it wasn't over yet. They truly admired the old bachelor; this guy, didn't he ever take a break? Wasn't he afraid of killing himself?

He banged on the door, startling the two people inside who were having a great time. The old bachelor was so frightened that he immediately shut up.

"Who the hell is knocking on my door!" The person, who was in the middle of a lively conversation, was forcibly interrupted and roared angrily.

"Open the door, Li Laosan, open the door quickly!"

What the hell!

village head!

This is outrageous!

Xia Fuxi recognized the village chief's voice and shrank into the bachelor's arms in fright: "What should we do?" If someone found her here, the Xia family would skin her alive.

What she feared most was that they would sell her again. This time, they were certain they wouldn't give her a chance to escape.

"You stay here, don't go out. I'll handle them." He said, getting up to put on his clothes. He couldn't let his wife, whom he'd finally managed to get here, go. He didn't want to argue with the Xia family; they were a bunch of hooligans, and he couldn't handle them alone.

Therefore, Fuxi must be hidden well and not let anyone find out.

Xia Fuxi was also getting dressed, trembling all over. If she were caught, she would rather be dead than be naked.

"Why don't you hide inside the closet?"

The noise was so loud that he figured the people outside must have heard him and that's why they came to knock on his door.

"Okay." She was completely disoriented, filled with nothing but fear. Before she could even finish pulling up her clothes, she hurriedly scrambled into the closet. She would rather die than go back to Old Xia's house. It was so much better with Li Laosan; she wouldn't go hungry, wouldn't be tired, wouldn't be scolded, and someone would care for her and warm her bed.

Escaping here was the best decision she ever made.

"Hurry up and open the door!"

The banging on the door started again.

"What's the rush? I'm getting dressed!"

As soon as Li Laosan opened the door, several burly men rushed in.

Xia Fuxi was in the cupboard, her heart pounding in her throat. She covered her mouth, barely daring to breathe.

"Li Laosan, did you bring some shady women from other villages back to our village? Have you lost your mind? Don't you know what time it is? What if she has bad intentions? You'll ruin the whole village!" The village chief yelled as soon as he entered the door.

It's a year of famine, and they've stopped allowing people from other villages to come to their village in order to protect everyone's meager food supplies.

"There's no one here, don't be scared." I absolutely cannot admit to it, otherwise Fuxi will be exposed.

"Stop talking nonsense! There's nobody here. Do you think we're deaf? The sound can be heard from one end of the village to the other. You're telling me there's nobody here? Do you think we're all deaf?" This bastard still wasn't starving; he'd eaten too much.

The village chief was also very impatient. He really wouldn't bother with such a shameful thing unless he was forced to.

"Shut up! Hand over the person and get them out of the village."

"Village chief, what are you saying? I don't understand, there's really no one here!"

The village chief didn't want to argue with him anymore. This scoundrel was like a dead pig that doesn't fear boiling water; he would never admit anything unless the culprit was caught.

"You, find them!"

"You dare!" Li Laosan's eyes widened in anger. "This is my house, if you dare to search it, I'll fight you to the death." As he spoke, he puffed out his chest, ready to fight.

The others looked at the village chief, hesitant. After all, he hadn't really done anything outrageous; who could tell what happened in his bed?

"If anything happens to your men, or if they have any bad intentions, can you take responsibility? Li Laosan, don't be foolish! What time is it now? It's a year of famine, a cornbread can be exchanged for a life!"

"Village chief, I promise you, she won't do anything to wrong the villagers!" With that, Li Laosan knelt before the village chief, his back ramrod straight: "I swear!"

For the first time, the village chief looked directly at the man, staring at him for a long time. In all these years, this was the first time he'd seen him so serious and earnest. It seemed having a woman in the house really made a difference. After a long silence, he sighed deeply: "I'll trust you this once. I hope you won't disappoint me. Let's disperse!"

As he spoke, he leaned on his cane and slowly walked out of the house.

"Thank you, Village Chief!" Li Laosan kowtowed to the village chief's retreating figure.

"Li Laosan, even if you're messing around with women, you better watch out. If you keep making such a commotion, even if the village chief doesn't care, we'll kick down your door."

Damn it, if their wives hear this, they'll cry their eyes out.

Li Laosan: ...

"Pooh!"

They spat and left.

Xia Fuxi was moved to tears inside, sobbing... She really hadn't chosen the wrong person. Li Laosan was a real man, and he treated her so well!

As soon as everyone left, she immediately crawled out, hugged Li Laosan who was still kneeling, and cried her heart out.

Li Laosan thought she was scared, so he patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid! I'm here, I definitely won't let anyone bully you..."

Xia Fuxi hugged the person even tighter...

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

Eight months into the cold wave, the atmosphere in the city grew increasingly tense. Even Xia Ning, who was staying at home, could feel this atmosphere.

The night before last and last night, she heard crying and screams for help from next door. She was quite far away from them, yet she could hear it so clearly; one can only imagine what was happening outside.

The two wolves have been acting a bit restless these past few days, and have tried to climb over the wall several times.

"Xiao Ning, should I go outside and take a look?" Jiang Yi couldn't sit still any longer.

"No, we'll stay home. If anyone comes in, we'll take them down!" She was afraid he would be in danger if he went out. Jiang Yi was too naive; apart from his fighting skills, he was completely brainless.

In terms of combat skills, they're nothing in a crowd.

Now, hiding in the courtyard is the safest place. Especially those who come to attack them for the first time, without exception, fall into the trap, so they don't even need to lift a finger.

She was absolutely right to set that trap.

Thieves never leave empty-handed; they're always caught.
