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

He loves going up the mountain, feeling that the mountain is his home, his world.

He didn't know that this was actually called a sense of belonging.

She walked and collected snow along the way, until she reached the mountainside. Near a cave, she set up two wooden huts. She didn't want to go into the cave; it was cold and damp, not a place fit for a human.

However, the outside world is also dangerous, so she deliberately placed her house next to a cave, so she could easily enter the cave if there was any danger. She had rocks, so she wasn't afraid of tigers or bears. She could block the cave entrance in no time.

She didn't plan to cook here; animals have an incredibly keen sense of smell, especially those that have been starving for half a year. Cooking would be too conspicuous.

She has plenty of cooked food in the space, and she has been making it whenever she has free time over the past six months, so her consumption is less than the amount she has stockpiled.

Five days later, Xia Ning decided to go down the mountain, mainly because Jiang Yi was too ruthless. Every day he dragged her around collecting snow, and her space gained several more large snow mountains. They killed any wild animals they saw, claiming it was to stockpile food.

She doesn't lack food at all, okay?

If this person were in modern times, she'd be jailed for life in no time. She can't control this wild horse; she'd better take it down the mountain and be more obedient. Let the mules roam the cave first, and come back for them when they find a new home.

They continued to operate at night, acting furtively to avoid being discovered. What they found was astonishing – a surprising number of empty houses throughout the city. Many contained corpses, either murdered or starved to death.

In short, it was a terrible sight, and it was heartbreaking to see.

She didn't want to live in these places; she couldn't stay. She packed up what she thought was useful and continued searching for a home with them. How many people were still alive in this city? What was the government doing?

Xia Ning was surprised to find that two houses in the city's wealthy area were completely empty. Judging from the dust inside, they had probably been uninhabited for nearly two months.

In this cold weather, most of their courtyards have cellars and stored grain. Why would they leave the prefectural city? It's not safe anywhere outside.

Moreover, the roads are difficult to travel on snowy days, the weather is bad, and things are chaotic outside.

Judging from the items inside, you can tell they left in a hurry; everything except the essentials is still there.

They chose a house with high walls, saying, "Let's live here from now on."

Jiang Yi wasn't picky; as long as he had a place to stay, he was fine. Seeing that there were several wells here, he was even more satisfied. With so many wells, he could fetch water from different ones every day.

The two wolves were overjoyed. This place was so big, so very big, with several yards in total, allowing them to run freely.

The house was uninhabited on all sides. They lived in the second courtyard, which was originally the master bedroom. These rooms also had firewalls and were extremely luxuriously decorated.

It was almost dawn. After changing into her own bed and making it up, Xia Ning fell asleep immediately. She was exhausted after that night.

The only inconvenience in their new home was cooking. They couldn't use the kitchen because the smoke from the chimney would attract attention. So they found a room, built a new stove, and kept all the doors and windows tightly closed whenever they cooked.

Three days later, after everyone had become familiar with the new home and she had thoroughly searched the nearby deserted houses, Xia Ning decided to go out and investigate.

She knew nothing about the recent situation in the city. The unknown was unsettling. One must know oneself and one's enemy in order to survive in this cannibalistic world.

After dark.

"Jiang Yi, you take the wolf and guard the house well. I'll be right back."

Jiang Yi looked at her disapprovingly. Wasn't it said that it was dangerous outside? Why did she still want to go out? Why didn't she take him with her? She was so weak.

She really had to handle this herself. This man was a simpleton; he couldn't even speak properly, and he was too narrow-minded to find out anything.

Watching Xia Ning's departing figure, Jiang Yi pursed his thin lips, his face as dark as Bao Gong's.

The two wolves wisely went to the backyard, away from the source of danger.

In the city at night, not a single person can be seen on the streets, and the surroundings are eerily quiet.

She felt as if the city were a ghost town. Thinking of the horror movies she'd watched before, she couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Where shall we go tonight?

"The north of the city. If it weren't for the boss insisting that we search the whole city, I really wouldn't have bothered running around. Those people don't have any food, and each family is poorer than the last."

"Exactly, no wonder the boss didn't leave any grain behind. I don't know which bastard spread the word, but before we could even deal with them, they all ran away."

"There's no food in the city. If we don't rob them, are we just going to starve to death? Stop talking nonsense and get to work."

"That's true. If we're a day late, we'll be eaten up."

"If you ask me, the best thing to do is to go to the village and rob them. Every family has a cellar and stored grain."

“There are too many people in the village, and the eldest brother is afraid they will collectively rebel. We can’t beat them.”

"makes sense."

Xia Ning froze, stunned. The city was out of food? How could that be? Where was the food?

Isn't there a daily purchase limit?

Instead of following the people, she quietly sent them to the vicinity of the mansion. Sure enough, she saw many people returning one after another, all carrying grain in their hands. The blood on most of their knives had already congealed.

These beasts!

They weren't just looting grain; they were clearly massacring the entire city.

Those wealthy people who wanted to flee probably received advance warning and were scared away.

A ruthless glint flashed in Xia Ning's eyes. Since you're not human, then die!

People returned one after another to hand over their grain, and then left with their share of the grain.

She couldn't possibly make a move on her own. Even getting close was difficult.

Fearing that it was too late and Jiang Yi would worry, she stopped hesitating and turned to go home.

"Why so long?"

She knew it.

"I saw someone doing something worse than an animal."

Jiang Yi: ……

"Tonight we'll take the wolves out to work."

Hearing that they would be taken along, Jiang Yi nodded happily, as he also wanted to go back and stretch his muscles.

She realized that wiping them all out at once was impossible; she didn't have the capability. Attacking in batches, wave after wave, would be safer.

Last night at the government office, she noticed that those going out to find grain were mostly in groups of ten. She was confident she could handle ten people.

"Eat your fill and then sleep. You might not be able to sleep all night." After leaving enough food for them to eat for a day, Xia Ning went to sleep immediately.

Family members, who understands the suffering of staying up late? Especially after a year of stable sleep schedule, she didn't know how many times she yawned last night.

In the evening, the excited man and two wolves waited for Xia Ning at her door.

She opened the door and was startled to see that all three eyes were bright and sparkling, filled with excitement.

Xia Ning was speechless. These three warmongers had better give her some support tonight.

As night fell, sure enough, she saw the first group of people near the northern city, as she had mentioned yesterday. They were carrying long knives and cloth bags, chatting and laughing.

Be happy, laugh as much as you can while you can, because today is the anniversary of your deaths.

With a wink, Jiang Yi immediately rushed out, and before the ten men could react, they were all wiped out.

The wolf looked at Jiang Yi with a pitiful expression.

Xia Ning: ……
