Everyone shoved into the cramped courtyard. "Let's go in and arrest them!"

There were only two rooms in total, one was the kitchen, and the other was definitely for sleeping. Xia Lao Da, with his two sons, walked aggressively to the front of the house and knocked loudly on the door.

"If you know what's good for you, get the hell out here, or I'll kick the door down!"

Xia the Elder threatened loudly, shouting the loudest of all. He really wanted to find a laborer to replace him; he did all the housework and had no food to eat. Who could stand that?

"Dad, don't open the door!" Xia Laoda looked at his father.

"Kick it away!"

Put all your strength into a powerful kick.

"boom!"

Xia Laoda tripped and fell on his butt. Damn it, the door wasn't locked from the inside either.

"Ouch, that hurts like hell!"

He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up from the ground for a long time and cried out.

After a long while, seeing that neither of her two sons had moved an inch, she felt a surge of anger: "Aren't you going to come and help me up!"

The two walked slowly to the door, their hands weakly outstretched; they had been starving for a long time and had no strength.

Old Man Xia felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't even need to look to know that the brat had resorted to her old tricks again and run away. This time, she even took a bachelor with her.

Feeling deflated and without any support, I plopped down in the yard.

Heaven is going to destroy the Xia family!

Old Mrs. Xia walked unsteadily to him, sat down beside him, and looked at him with concern, "Old man?"

"Oh no, that brat ran away again!"

How could she not know? She was heartbroken too, but what could she do? She couldn't bring him back.

"Let's look around and see if there's anything left in this house to eat."

"Take them and search." He couldn't get up, his whole being filled with despair. At this point, who would leave any food? Even if you didn't run away, you might not find any food, let alone those who were fleeing.

I closed my old eyes until they returned. Seeing their bare hands, I couldn't help but feel disappointed, even though I had already guessed it.

"Tomorrow, we'll go up the mountain to find food. Anyone who doesn't go can just stay home and starve to death."

If this continues, we'll all be finished.

The two grandsons exchanged a glance, pursed their lips, and dared not say no.

There's absolutely no food left in the house; if we wait any longer, we'll starve to death. It's all my sister's fault. Once we find her, we'll break her legs first, then see where she can run to!

Two days later, the old bachelor actually found a water source. Although it wasn't deep, it was much deeper than the water level in the village. What excited him even more was that he found a cave not far from the stream. There were signs that someone had lived there, and after observing it for a while, he realized it was indeed a decent cave.

Xia Fuxi happily tidied up inside, finally able to settle down.

What she didn't know was that Xia Ning had hidden in this very cave when she ran away from her arranged marriage. It was she who had prepared everything inside.

The two sisters were not just destined to be together, but she repeated her mistakes.

“Fuxi, there are still a lot of wild vegetables growing in some places along the river.”

The man was holding a bunch of chives and half a bunch of scallions.

Xia Fuxi swallowed hard; she hadn't eaten fresh vegetables in a very, very long time.

“Great! Let’s rest today, and tomorrow we’ll wander around this area and bring back everything we can eat. Honey, I think this place is really great, even better than Xiajia Village.”

The river in the village will probably be nothing but mud in a few days. Their departure was absolutely timely.

"Okay, let's rest well today and go find something to eat tomorrow."

The single guy is also very happy and will settle down here for the time being.

.....................

Xia Ning, accompanied by one person and two wolves, searched for water and goods in various places until the river gradually dried up.

"Jiang Yi, where are we going?"

Xia Ning felt lost. The world was vast, and natural disasters were everywhere. Where should she go from here?

In any case, she couldn't stay here. It was too close to the border, and she feared war might break out.

"How about we go back to the prefectural city?" The only places he knew, besides the mountains, were the prefectural city.

"No, the city is short of water and food right now. What would we do there? Jiang Yi, let's leave, okay?"

"Where to?"

"We'll head south, wherever the road takes us, and settle down wherever we find a place we like."

It's good to leave now, there are fewer people. Before long, more and more people will be fleeing the famine.

"it is good."

He'll go wherever she goes; as long as she's happy.

Without hesitation, Xia Ning took out a mule cart that very day and taught Jiang Yi how to drive it. From then on, he became their family's exclusive driver.

Since it was their own mule, and driving it was easy, a man could handle it on his own in about half an hour.

Along the official road, some families were also migrating. Most of them were wealthy families with horse-drawn or mule-drawn carts. Ordinary people were also there, in twos and threes. The escape route was still relatively safe at the moment.

The wolf and the other mule stayed in the space, probably because the temperature there was comfortable and they liked to stay inside.

She used her consciousness to harvest a batch of mature wheat, replanted it, took out a basin of ice, placed soft cushions and a cooling mat in the carriage, and closed her eyes to rest.

Her space now has 300 acres of farmland, and the wheat can be harvested every 15 days. She knows the key to upgrading her space: when resources accumulate to a certain level, it will upgrade.

Don't ask her how she knew; these past few days, she's done nothing but collect water. Yet, the space has been upgraded again.

The fact that so much water is used to upgrade only once shows that the key to upgrading is not water, but stockpiling more supplies.

Jiang Yi drove the car very steadily, and she drifted off to sleep amidst the swaying and rocking.

She slept very soundly. When she woke up, she wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, opened the carriage curtain, and saw that it was already dark outside.

This idiot, he doesn't even wake himself up. Isn't he tired? Doesn't he know to find a place to rest when it gets dark?

"Jiang Yi, drive the car to the open space ahead. We'll spend the night there."

"it is good."

In this open space, only their mule cart was parked.

Release two wolves, feed them, and have them keep watch.

"Let's eat in the car."

There was ice in the car, so it was cool. She estimated the temperature was at least 38 degrees Celsius; it was unbearably hot during the day, and there wasn't a breath of wind at night, which was incredibly irritating.

No wonder the kids love staying in the space; if she could go inside, she would never stay outside.

In the summer, Jiang Yi's appetite decreased significantly, and he lost interest in meat. He finished a large, icy watermelon and ate a big bowl of cold noodles, then stopped.

"Aren't you going to eat meat?" Xia Ning asked, glancing at the braised pork that hadn't been touched more than twice.

"I don't want to eat this, put it away. I don't want anything greasy lately, so don't take any meat." It's so hot, all he wants is ice water, iced food, and fruit.

Wow, even edible animals have changed their ways; the drought is indeed powerful.

Where do you sleep tonight?

"This carriage is so big, you can sleep upstairs, I'll sleep on the floor. Get me a mat."

That works too. There's ice in the carriage, which is nice and comfortable, and I can get a good night's sleep.

Xia Ning took out two straw mats, a watermelon, and a basin of water. The wolves were keeping watch under the car; she figured she should put a mat under them.

"Give these to Da Ha and Er Ha, then come back to sleep."

Jiang Yi naturally wouldn't refuse; he was overjoyed that Xia Ning was willing to treat his younger brothers well.

The two wolves were quite satisfied with their midnight snack. It was refreshing and sweet, and they loved it. They wouldn't sleep at night; they would sleep during the day after entering the space.

"Go to sleep."

Looking at the man lying down, she replaced the ice with fresh ice.

Soon, two soft breaths could be heard from the cramped carriage.
