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

When Xia Fuxi heard the man was leaving, she was so frightened that she dropped the wild vegetables she was holding. In the desolate wilderness, in the dark, what would she do alone? What if a wild animal came and ate her?

"I'll go back with you." She tugged at the man's sleeve, looking at him nervously.

"Stop joking. You're not strong enough, you walk slowly, and you can't carry much. I'll have to take care of you the whole way."

I'll go back by myself; it's a quick walk. You stay here and continue picking wild vegetables and herbs.

We've checked this area several times, and there are absolutely no other wild animals; it's perfectly safe. Just remember, don't pick any mushrooms you don't recognize.

"But I'm afraid..." Xia Fuxi said, feeling wronged.

"What are you afraid of? Just don't wander off. I'll try to be back as quickly as possible. There's so much stuff at home; it would be a waste not to bring it. I might go back more than once, so I'll move everything over as soon as possible."

"If you're afraid, move some stones to block the cave entrance at night."

"I can't move it!" The opening is so big, how many stones would she have to move? It's going to kill her!

The old bachelor was getting impatient, his tone sharp, "Why don't you move more, move the smaller ones? Alright, shut up, I'm going to get down to business. We're short of everything, how are we supposed to survive?"

She glanced at the man and saw that he seemed a little unhappy, and her heart skipped a beat. Yes, now she depended on him for survival; she couldn't afford to offend him.

Suppressing the urge to explode, she said, "Then hurry back and be careful on your way back, don't let my family see you."

"Ah."

"I'll make some cornbread, and I still have two wild eggs left, I'll boil them for you to take with you." She said ingratiatingly, forcing back her reluctance. She had originally planned to give each of them one of the two eggs.

The old bachelor felt much better. Hmm, this woman, though a little temperamental, is quite sensible.

It was hot, and she was already wearing very little. Xia Fuxi bent down to start a fire. The old bachelor, who had been busy stockpiling goods lately, looked at her youthful figure and suddenly felt thirsty. Thinking that he wouldn't be able to come back for several days, he went up, picked her up, and carried her to the haystack next to him.

In broad daylight, under the clear blue sky, in their own little world, with only the two of them, he felt an unprecedented thrill. It was even more thrilling than being at home during a cold snap—out in the wild! In the open!

Xia Fuxi's heart skipped a beat when she was suddenly hoisted up. Regaining her composure, she slapped him lightly and said playfully, "You little rascal, what are you up to now? Aren't we going back to the village?"

The old bachelor completely ignored her, tossed her onto the haystack, and, regardless of day or night or whether it was outdoors, pounced on her...

Xia Fuxi felt as if he were sitting on a boat, rising and falling, the waves high and low, making him dizzy and swirling, but he just couldn't reach the shore...

"Fuxi, I'm leaving. Don't go far these next few days. Wait for me to come back!" The satisfied man was exceptionally patient and gentle.

"Well, be careful on the road."

The woman stuffed the food into the man's hand, saying reluctantly.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back," he assured, patting his chest.

After yesterday's conversation, their relationship deepened even further today. They were both very satisfied with each other, and after exchanging a few sweet words, the old bachelor reluctantly left.

Damn, Wang Mazi was right. Beautiful women can kill. I almost died on her yesterday, and she's still reluctant to leave today.

That's really... shameless!

Watching the old bachelor leave until he was out of sight, Xia Fuxi felt a deep emptiness. Forcing himself to stay awake, he grabbed a sickle and continued cutting grass and searching for wild vegetables.

In years of famine, dried wild grass can be a decent source of food.

The man said that he would bring his old fishing nets back with him this time, hoping there might be fish in the water and they could have a meal.

She hadn't eaten meat in so long that she'd forgotten what it tasted like.

The old bachelor walked very fast, his hands empty, his steps extremely long.

When he got closer to the village, he saw people looking for food on the mountain. He avoided them and took a longer route back home.

The gate opened; someone had been to his house.

It must be the Xia family; not a single one of them has any shame.

They closed the courtyard gate, packed up all the usable items in the house, along with a few quilts, clothes for the two of them, a few bowls, and two basins, and then stopped.

If he takes any more, he won't be able to walk. It doesn't look like much normally, but once you start tidying it up, there's actually quite a lot.

The saying "even a ruined family is worth a fortune" is absolutely true.

After tidying up his things, he lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) and ate the eggs his wife had cooked for him, feeling very happy.

There were only two eggs, and his wife gave them both to him; she really dotes on him. He ate one, but couldn't bear to eat the last one. He tucked it into his pocket and took it back to Fuxi.

After resting, I carried my bags and quietly left home under the cover of night, heading up the mountain.

He assumed there was no one on the mountain at this time, so he didn't pay much attention to his surroundings and rushed forward blindly.

It was dark and you couldn't see very well, and of all times, I bumped into someone.

No one else could match him. Old Man Xia rubbed his dizzy head. Had he bumped into a rock? It was so hard.

Hearing the old man's wailing, Old Lady Xia raised her torch high and jogged over.

"What's the matter?"

"This person wasn't watching where they were going and bumped into me, making me fall." He sat down hard on the ground, his tailbone throbbing with pain.

The old bachelor, using the firelight, peered closer and exclaimed, "Holy crap! It's the Xia family's house!"

Enemy road is narrow!

"Which bastard wrecked my house...?"

The old woman Xia's tantrum and attempt to extort money stopped abruptly!

Xia Fugui, who had just arrived, stared blankly at the man in front of him, who was carrying large and small bags that almost overwhelmed him.

Holy crap, isn't this the guy they can't find, the old bachelor who eloped with his sister (granddaughter)?

The old bachelor groaned inwardly, wondering what terrible things he had done to run into them. Just as he was trying to figure out how to escape, Xia Fugui grabbed him, and the old man Xia seized the opportunity to grab his leg.

Old bachelor: ...

Am I going to get screwed today?

"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll get rough!"

"Fine, don't hold back! Go ahead and kill this old woman if you dare! Where's my granddaughter? Where did you take her?"

"Why would your granddaughter ask me? How would I know where she is?" No one had seen Fuxi enter his room; he was certain of it. So, tonight, he absolutely couldn't admit it. If he did, he really wouldn't be able to leave tonight.

"Who else could it be but you bastard? Everyone in the village says you have a woman in your house!"

"I do have a woman, Widow Wang from the next village! What, you want to tell me who's on my bed? Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"Pah! She's clearly my granddaughter, don't try to deny it!"

"Who saw it? Tell me! You have no evidence to slander me. Don't think I won't take action just because you're old!" Anyway, he's not here, and he won't admit it. What can they do?

Old Man Xia hesitated when he saw how confident he was.

"It must be you! My sister used to pass by your house, and you even flirted with her. I saw it!" Xia Fugui shouted. He was determined to get rid of this person.

With such strength, there must be plenty of food.

Old bachelor: ...
