A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 255 Ambition
"I don't know when the weather will recover. It's so cold that I have to stomp my feet every day."
"Be content. We can stay indoors and light a fire, while they are either chopping wood or catching fish."
"I really admire those people who catch fish. How do they have the courage to go into the water?"
"I'm impressed. They all came back soaking wet. I was worried they'd collapse and we wouldn't be able to eat anything. But they just ate a bowl of hot soup and were fine."
The chieftain concluded, "That's what they mean by 'a worthless person has a worthless life'."
The others nodded in agreement, agreeing that the chieftain's words made perfect sense.
They were having a great time chatting when someone suddenly clutched their stomach and cried out in pain. "What's wrong? Did you eat something bad?"
The man was in so much pain he couldn't speak. He was curled up in his seat, his face ashen, and veins bulging on his forehead. Seeing the situation was bad, the others panicked. The lively atmosphere froze instantly. Just as they were about to get up to check on him, another person suddenly collapsed to the ground, crying out, "It hurts so much!"
Holy crap, what's going on?
"It hurts too!"
"Me too!"
Everyone in the room collapsed to the ground, clutching their stomachs, a chill running through them. It was obvious what had happened; they had been ambushed, and the food they had just eaten was poisoned.
I really wanted to question the person in charge of the food about what was going on, but I couldn't. It hurt too much, it really hurt too much.
"Help……"
The first person to have a stomachache died, black blood flowing from the corner of their mouth, their eyes wide open, their gaze unwavering even in death.
The others desperately tried to climb towards the door, hoping to call for help, but... they didn't know that everyone else was in the same boat.
Having taken care of a large group of children, Xia Ning was a little excited. Jiang Yi looked at the child who could already crawl and take a few steps with support, and said, "Let the python handle the rest. It's quite free and efficient anyway. We haven't spent much time with our son lately."
Xia Ning looked at Tan Tou and realized that childhood is indeed short and should be cherished. "Okay! Let's go see their headquarters later, especially the biggest one."
The person is gone, but we can't waste the good things.
Xia Ning went out after lunch, afraid that she wouldn't be able to eat if she went out too early.
The once bustling base camp was eerily quiet, and the snow-covered landscape made it look particularly desolate.
Upon opening the largest room, several corpses came into view. The vast hall contained nothing but a few stools and a table.
Walking into the inner room, she found it to be a very simple bedroom. She couldn't believe that someone who had remained hidden during the natural disaster and required everyone to come and pay homage every day could be a frugal person.
There must be something fishy about his residence.
The two searched his bedroom carefully but found nothing. Xia Ning got angry and removed all the furniture from the bedroom. Finally, she found a wooden box under the bed.
Upon opening the box, one finds several luminous pearls, a small amount of jewelry, and a household register. Although the book is well-preserved, it has yellowed with age.
Open the book.
Holy crap, it actually records why their ancestors ended up on this island, warning their descendants to live in seclusion here and not to go out to explore.
The book records many details of the outside world at that time, as well as the dangers, saying that this place is a paradise, free from strife and worry.
Only here can generations live in peace.
The chief here is the leader who once guided them to survive on the deserted island. His descendants have held this position hereditarily for generations. As the island multiplies, its population will surely grow larger and more prosperous. His descendants will be the true masters of this island, establishing their own nation.
Here, Xia Ning witnessed the ambition and forbearance of their ancestors. In the midst of chaos, they fled the imperial court, secluded themselves on a deserted island, and slowly grew their power, only daring to plot something greater after generations.
Therefore, once they established their own country and the time was ripe, they became ambitious and dreamed of going to sea to invade other countries and try to conquer the world.
From this perspective, it's clear that this is indeed the ancestor of the "small life" (a metaphor for a simple, peaceful existence).
However, they were indeed poor. Even the wealthiest leader, after many generations, possessed only a wooden box containing most of what was originally left behind.
So all these years, they haven't gotten anything good from the island?
"Their warehouse has a lot of supplies."
Jiang Yi opened one of the rooms, which was filled with dried seafood of all sizes. Sure enough, living by the sea meant there was no shortage of food.
The three warehouses were full of seafood, and Xia Ning bought them all without hesitation.
The last one, when I opened it, I almost died of fright on the spot.
