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

Upon hearing that the cold wave was about to end, Jiang Yi became anxious again. Xiao Ning had said that after the cold wave ended, there would be no water or food for a long time, and people would come to rob them, which would be very dangerous.

"I'll go fetch water."

Xia Ning: ...Big brother, are you deaf? I said I'm going to cook, cook!

Seeing the people rolling up their sleeves and starting to fetch water, she had no choice but to do it herself.

Go ahead and fight, then when it gets hot and water is scarce, we'll find a rich person to sell ice to.

With that in mind, she placed hundreds more buckets in each courtyard, letting him do as he pleased. As for herself, she closed the door and cooked her meal behind closed doors.

She remembered reading in the book that cold waves lasted only a year, while droughts lasted for three years.

For three years, countless people starved to death, and the entire Great Xia Dynasty was like a living hell.

The thought of corpses everywhere, cannibalism, and flies swarming everywhere sent a chill down Xia Ning's spine. She couldn't bear to think about it; it gave her goosebumps.

Wash the rice and cook it. The rice bucket at home is huge, so he piled it up on four stovetops. Two are for cooking rice, one for stewing soup, and one for making porridge.

After being so busy for half a month, she started making noodles, dumplings, steamed buns, and stir-fries again.

Jiang Yi was conscripted by her to work as a laborer, burning firewood, chopping chickens and ducks, chopping bones, and washing vegetables. She no longer went out, and each household was given two ounces of grain per day. She knew that the government office didn't have much grain left either, and they were just barely managing to stay afloat. When the drought came, the city would inevitably descend into chaos, and no one would be able to stay.

She's now stocking up on as much food as possible and doesn't want to deal with anything else.

Animals have the sharpest instincts, and these past two days, the two huskies, now the size of adult wolves, have been noticeably agitated. They pace back and forth in front of her every day, seemingly very uneasy.

"You two be good, everything's alright, we've got everything ready. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"

Xia Ning squatted down, stroked the wolf's head, and whispered words of comfort.

Jiang Yi glanced at them impatiently, thinking, "What are you babbling about, you sissies?" "Awooo..."

The two wolves lowered their heads, slowly got up, walked to the door, turned to look at Xia Ning, their little eyes filled with utter grievance.

After all, it's the child I raised, so I feel sorry for him.

"Don't yell at them!"

She thought the cold wave might be over soon.

"Jiang Yi, why don't you go and get some more ice? Let's go up the mountain tomorrow and collect the last bit of snow."

"Great!" The man's eyes lit up; he liked this job. He never felt he had too much stuff, no matter how much.

Stepping outside again felt like stepping into another world.

The city seemed even more desolate; in broad daylight, they walked along without seeing a single person. Since there was no one around, she no longer held back and stored everything within her spatial storage.

On the mountain, after collecting snow for most of the day, we actually spotted a wild animal just two meters away.

“They may have sensed the danger and gone elsewhere to survive,” Jiang Yi explained.

Indeed, animals are far more sensitive to danger than humans.

Now, if she asked everyone to store water and ice, they would probably think she was crazy.

Since no one was around, the entire mountain was hers. Xia Ning collected everything with even greater ruthlessness. Except for the surface layer covered in dirt, she cleaned it up spotlessly. Jiang Yi and the wolf cub even helped her shake the things off the trees.

That night, the two humans and two wolves didn't go home. This area of ​​mountains stretched for several miles. If she was going to collect it, she'd collect it all. Anyway, once the cold snap passed and the temperature rose, it would all turn into dirty water.

Reaching the mountain stream, Jiang Yi smashed a hole in the ice, signaling her to stop the water from flowing.

Resigned, she squatted down to collect the water. "Sizzle..." The moment she touched it, the cold seeped into her bones. The water was truly icy now! She couldn't stand it for long.

"Jiang Yi, it's too cold, no."

Looking at her little hands, which quickly turned red from the cold, a pang of heartache crossed his eyes.

"I'll take you to a plumbing place to collect it."

A place with warm water? A hot spring?

Holy crap, why didn't you tell me about this place sooner? She heated so much water just to bathe in the winter. That clueless idiot! Now the cold snap is almost over, and you're saying there's a hot spring?

Xia Ning was speechless. She followed him, winding her way to a huge cave.

"It's right inside, the water's hot."

They threw in a few stones, but after a while they didn't hear any movement. Confirming there were no wild animals inside, they carried torches and went inside.

How did you know there was hot water here?

“I used to come here to bathe in the winter. The water is hot and it feels so good.” He didn’t know what a hot spring was.

They really know how to enjoy life.

At the end of the cave, a different scene unfolded, filled with swirling smoke and rising heat. A dozen hot springs of varying sizes appeared before Xia Ning.

She was overjoyed, like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar!

Although the cold snap had passed, and it was summer, she didn't want to take a cold shower directly. Without Jiang Yi saying anything, she went over to collect it herself.

The warmth of the touch sent a shiver down Xia Ning's spine. Jiang Yi walked to the smallest pool and began to undress.

"What are you doing!"

"Take a bath," he said, then called to the two wolves with a "woof." The two wolves howled and immediately rushed towards the hot spring pool.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yi had stripped himself completely naked. His muscular physique and eight-pack abs were clearly visible, and Xia Ning covered her eyes in shock. This bastard! Didn't he know the difference between men and women? What was he trying to do, repeatedly acting like a pervert in front of her?

She was really afraid of getting a sty.

"Would you like to take a bath too? This water feels so nice."

Xia Ning: ……

Wash your sister's ass!

Without those few third wheels, she really would have gone in for a soak. But now... she'll just put them away and soak in them later.

The thought that such a wonderful hot spring would soon dry up made Xia Ning's heart ache.

As long as she doesn't die from hoarding, she can hoard as much as she can. The animals have left, so even if she finishes collecting, it won't affect anyone.

Ignoring Jiang Yi, who was comfortably dozing off, warm water flowed steadily into her space. The water in the pool visibly decreased. She noticed that her harvesting speed was much faster than before the natural disaster. Was it because she was harvesting more and practicing more to improve her skills?

After collecting one hot spring pool after another, she had no idea how much water she had left in her space. Because as she collected them all, she discovered that water would slowly rise from the bottom of the pools, meaning she could never collect them all.

It's best to stop when you've had enough.

"Jiang Yi, let's go back!"

"besides."

"It keeps coming out, we can't collect it all. Let's hurry back, don't we still need to collect snow? This is enough for us to wash for a very long time."

That jerk, how can he be so stingy?

Jiang Yi looked back at the hot spring pool every few steps, reluctant to leave.

The snow-capped mountains in the space piled up higher and higher. After collecting these few mountains, they took her to collect more from other mountains. It was the first time she realized that there were so many mountains in the prefectural city.

Who said Chinese aunties are crazy? This jerk is way crazier than them. She regrets telling him before that she has unlimited space and can put as much stuff as she wants in it.
