A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 35 So shameless at such a young age
He wasn't afraid of the Xia family; they were a bunch of cowards now, and he could take them all down by himself. He was just annoyed. Time was precious, and he didn't have time to waste arguing with them.
He really didn't understand that family. Fuxi had two younger brothers who were not young and could be considered as strong laborers. Why were they still lying at home?
Aren't you worried? What will we eat and drink in the future? Or are you all planning to lie down and wait to die?
I simply don’t know what to say.
Luckily, his wife is sensible and not blindly devoted to her family, or he would go crazy. No, he definitely doesn't want a woman like that; let her go back to her parents' home and starve to death with them.
"Master, are we going into the deep mountains?"
The man nodded: "Definitely. We'll try to find places with water sources. Even if there aren't any wild vegetables, there will be wild grasses. We can dry them and use them as food."
"I'm a little scared." The villagers used to say that there were tigers and wolves in the mountains, and that if you went in, you would be eaten.
"What are you afraid of? It will be dawn soon. Let's work hard today, walk a little further, and try to find a cave to rest in for the night."
Thinking of the scorching sun overhead after dawn, the bachelor felt a chill run down his spine. But what could he do? Without food, even if there was water, they would starve to death.
As dawn broke, the old bachelor, following the greenery, slowly led Xia Fuxi forward. Where there's green, there's food; this was definitely the right way to go. Xia Fuxi was exhausted, sleepy, thirsty, and hungry.
"Have a drink of water, sit down and rest for a while, have a piece of bread before you go."
When it got light and they could see their surroundings clearly, they were finally able to rest.
Xia Fuxi plopped down on the ground and started drinking heavily from the water bag.
"Drink less, we didn't bring much water with us." The man stopped him, determined not to indulge himself until a water source was found.
Reluctantly handing the water bag back to the man, she struggled to eat the hard, coarse cornbread with mixed vegetables: "Where do we go?"
"If you walk to the right, you'll notice that there's significantly more greenery ahead."
Xia Fuxi was completely bewildered. "No, sir, are you getting old and your eyesight is failing? This area is all withered grass, and there aren't even many green leaves. How did you see that the other side is greener?"
Anyway, she didn't know where to go, so she just let him go wherever he wanted and wander around aimlessly.
After resting for half an hour, the woman rubbed her sore calves and forced herself to get up.
Emma, these days are really killing her. I miss the snowstorm days; those were the days when life was real.
When Xia Laoda got home, he told everyone about meeting Xia Fuxi. The whole family was starving, and thinking of Xia Fuxi reminded them of the Bai family. Now, if they sold her, would the Bai family still want her? They would, wouldn't they?
Hope was rekindled in everyone's hearts.
"Where is he?" Old Mrs. Xia struggled to get up, trying to grab him.
"I don't know, she ran away. She's very strong, and she doesn't look hungry." Boss Xia was certain that Xia Fuxi wasn't hungry. How could a starving person move such a big man like him?
"We'll go find them at daybreak!" Old Man Xia made the final decision.
People must be found, and people must be sold.
Looking at his grandson lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), too hungry to even speak, a calculating glint flashed in his eyes. He might not sell her, but if anyone secretly kept his granddaughter, he would take his whole family and stay at their house.
His family had no food, no water, all they needed was a sucker. And here he is, here he comes!
Now everything's alright, the family can survive again. At this moment, the old man was incredibly relieved that his eldest granddaughter had run away. Selling her to the Bai family was a one-time deal, but now, hehe, he could exploit her endlessly.
"Everyone, get some rest and recharge. We'll go find someone tomorrow morning."
There are only a few households in the village, so they're easy to find.
"Village chief, we saw Fuxi yesterday. I don't know which bastard tricked my granddaughter into coming home. He's from our village. Village chief, you have to do justice for us! My innocent granddaughter can't just be fooled like this!"
The old man gripped the village chief's hand, tears streaming down his face.
This was the fastest way he could find the person, something he'd thought about for a long time. The village chief knew the village best. He was a grown man; he couldn't believe the chief didn't know whose family had had a new baby. Most importantly, the village chief could stand up for him and ensure compensation.
The village chief looked at Old Man Xia, his eyelids twitching. A drought was just around the corner, and you're still causing trouble? Are you crazy?
"I don't know, and I don't have time." After he rested, he was going to find wild grass and draw well water. Who had time to talk nonsense here?
"You're the village chief. How can you ignore someone going missing?" The old man looked at the village chief in disbelief. How could things not be as he had imagined?
"Let whoever wants to be this village chief be it. Don't you know what's going on? Have you wasted all these years? I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. If you want to find someone, go find them yourself. I don't have time."
After saying that, he forcefully shoved the old man's hand off him and turned away in disgust.
Bah! What a heartless family! Why did their granddaughter run away? Why is their daughter-in-law missing? Do they really think nobody knows? Normally, even if he didn't report it to the authorities, he would have driven them out of the village.
Now, the world is in chaos, and the government is almost gone. Who has the time to care about these things? In the future, let alone selling people, even eating people will go unpunished.
He suddenly remembered the extra woman in the old bachelor's house, and his temples throbbed. Could it be that the girl in the old bachelor's bed was Xia's daughter? It must be; the old man said she ran away after the cold wave—that makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Was that girl the one whose shouts could be heard throughout the entire village?
Good heavens! That girl is so outrageous! He thinks she's some village widow! So young, yet so shameless!
He turned and glanced at the Xia family again. What a terrible thing they've done!
These two companies getting together, things are really going to get messy!
No, after the old bachelor got a wife, he seemed much more reliable than the Xia family. Xia girl is definitely better off with him than at the Xia family.
Having received no favors from the village chief, the old man had no choice but to inquire around the village himself. He only needed to ask which family had recently welcomed a new member into their household.
Before long, he actually found out.
The old bachelor at the end of the village had a woman come to his house in the winter, and the two of them spent all day having sex and causing endless trouble.
Old Man Xia felt a wave of darkness wash over him. It was a fact that almost the entire village knew, yet they, who rarely ventured out, hadn't heard a word about it.
That wretched girl, that lowly wretch, of all people she could have chosen, she had to pick that scoundrel. In the whole village, he's the poorest, laziest, and most shameless scoundrel, spending his days harassing women and stealing chickens and dogs. Even if you searched his house thoroughly, you wouldn't find a single copper coin.
What hope is there for him to get anything out of this guy? Besides, that scoundrel is a tough one; he won't just give in to intimidation.
Even if he could handle it, would he have anything to eat? Is the boss sure that brat isn't starving? How could that be?
If that's the case, once we find the person, we might as well sell them to a landlord!
Having received confirmation, the whole family marched to the end of the village, thinking that even a small mosquito was still food, and even if they only had a handful of dried wild vegetables, it would be enough to fill their stomachs.
"You shameless bastard surnamed Liu, come out here! You've been trying to seduce my daughter, I'll chop you up today!"
"My daughter is perfectly innocent, and you've ruined her like this!"
"Xia Fuxi, you shameless little bitch, get out here right now!" Old Mrs. Xia shouted with all her might.
"Big sister, get out here right now and kowtow to admit your mistake!"
The shouts were loud, but no one came to watch. Everyone had just finished resting, and even if they heard the noise, no one had the mind to pay attention.
He yelled and cursed for a while, but no one opened the door. You bastard, did you think you could get away with it hiding inside?
Just as they were about to kick down the door, they discovered that the gate to the courtyard was not closed at all.
"Squeak!"
The door is open.
