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

The people on the mountain consciously began to conserve food. In their spare time, they would wear raincoats and go out to collect firewood, dig up grass roots, wild vegetables, and grains. They almost dared not touch them anymore.

Who knows how long we'll be stuck here? So many people, so little food—what will we do when it runs out?

Jiang Yi and Xia Ning occasionally stayed in the tent or went into the space, but all they could hear was the sound of pouring rain, and they couldn't go out.

"I wonder if it's raining in other places?"

If it rains like this throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty will be gone in a month.

"Let's go check it out tonight. We're continuing downhill; who knows how much longer things will be peaceful up there?"

There's water down below, so people instinctively run uphill. Now that it's difficult to walk, most will choose the mountainside. But what if the mountainside is full? What if the rain has passed the mountainside?

When we reach the top of the mountain and see how well they live and eat, won't we be envious?

That night, the two quietly left the mountains.

The further north they went, the less rain they received; the further south they went, the heavier the rain became. The area around Hangzhou had already been flooded, so it seems that it started raining not long after they left.

On the way, they saw people fleeing north. It was especially difficult to escape in the rain, and very few people had oilcloth to cover themselves. However, there were not many people fleeing; most of them had already left when the earth turned upside down.

The rain was not too bad in the east and west directions, so the tsunami occurred in the south. They then ran to the capital, where it was also raining heavily, but the city was not flooded. The capital had the best drainage in the entire Great Xia Dynasty, especially the imperial palace.

"There's not much food left on the mountain. We need to find a way to give them some more." They were in a hurry and had limited carts, so they didn't carry much food. They could ignore the common people, but these many guards were their people; they couldn't let them go hungry.

Xia Ning thought for a moment, "Let's put them in the middle of the mountain and let them come down and carry them themselves."

They wandered in the mountains for a long, long time, until dawn, before finally finding a giant cave. There were no wild animals inside, and it was relatively dry.

"Yes, this is the place. Let's go back."

Come back tonight, and bring more food.

"This cave is so big that it can house hundreds of people. It's also very dry, so it feels even better than our tents."

"It's really good. I wonder who was lucky enough to come up the mountain and find this place first."

People come and go in the tent, going out every day to chop firewood and dig for wild herbs and vegetables; it's also very damp. Fortunately, you can make a fire inside, and your clothes can be dried at any time.

Back in their tent, the steward soon brought them breakfast: congee with pickles, dried meat, and a few steamed buns—the best they could offer.

Xia Ning and Jiang Yi ate their breakfast with pickles. "How much food do we have left?"

The steward was also worried about this, so much so that several strands of his hair had turned white. "Regardless of the common people, we ourselves can probably last for another half a month." Even so, we still have to eat wild vegetables.

Now, in his spare time, he leads everyone to dig for wild vegetables, but the rice is getting less and less...

Good things are reserved for the masters first; they basically eat rice porridge with wild vegetables and cornbread made from wild grass.

"We have already figured out how to get food. You don't need to be frugal. Everyone must eat their fill so that you'll have the strength to run if we encounter any danger."

Has the food problem been solved?

The butler was overjoyed.

It still comes down to their master; without a master, they would have died countless times already.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll give the order right away. They'll eat dry food for lunch." Many of the young men, who were big eaters and hadn't been dieting in the village, were now suddenly hungry and were walking unsteadily.

After eating, the two spent two hours in the space with the child. When they came out, it was already noon. After lunch, they took a nap. When they woke up, it was still not dark. Xia Ning sat in front of the tent, resting her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the rain outside.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, just listening to the rain." My heart calmed down with the sound of the rain.

The next day.

Jiang Yi, accompanied by his steward and guards, arrived at the cave. Upon seeing the cave overflowing with grain, their eyes reddened. They had almost thought they were going to starve to death, trapped and dying in this mountain. Good heavens, Lord Marquis, how did you manage to obtain so much grain? So much, so much…

With these, they wouldn't be afraid even if they were stranded on the mountain for months.

Sure enough, following the Marquis means you'll have food to eat!
