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

She arrived early; most of the mushrooms hadn't opened their caps yet, they were very tender. She took out a bamboo basket and a kitchen knife, squatted down to get to work. Old and young alike, she wanted to take them all.

The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. She was in a good mood. With a single stroke, she could dig up several stalks, her hands and feet moving swiftly and efficiently. Once the basket was full, she simply emptied it into her spatial storage and continued digging.

There weren't many bamboo baskets, so the items in the space could only be piled up in a small heap. Three hours later, she stood up, reached up to wipe the sweat from her brow, and smiled contentedly.

All the termite mushrooms in this area are in her online space.

After eating two pancakes and a bowl of mushroom soup, she continued her search for new targets. On the way, she came across two wild chili peppers. Being a chili lover, she was overjoyed. After picking all the peppers, she dug up a few seedlings to plant in the future when conditions allowed.

That brownish-purple vine must be a he shou wu vine, right? Old he shou wu vines are quite valuable, especially those shaped like humans. Without hesitation, I picked up a hoe and started digging.

Hesitating for even a second is disrespectful to Polygonum multiflorum.

She dug deeper and deeper, wondering how much a human-shaped he shou wu (Polygonum multiflorum) would be worth. However, when she finally reached the root of the he shou wu, she discovered that it wasn't human-shaped at all, but just an ordinary piece of he shou wu. She was somewhat disappointed, but still carefully dug it out and put it in her basket.

He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) also grows in large patches, and she dug up three large baskets in one afternoon. She walked lightly back to the cave, very satisfied with her harvest.

Back in the cave, she spread all the dry grass inside, then took out four large stones and placed a wooden plank bed on it. Finally, she could sleep off the ground at night.

After eating my fill, I drifted off to sleep.

Today, she discovered a grove of chestnut trees, about twenty or so. Overjoyed, she immediately squatted down and picked up the chestnuts that had fallen to the ground.

Chestnut stewed chicken, sugar-roasted chestnuts, chestnut rice...

With these chestnuts, she definitely won't starve.

Xia Ning, immersed in the joy of getting something for free, was completely unaware that danger was lurking nearby...

Xia Ning was pondering how to process the chestnuts when she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from afar. Startled, she looked around warily. The sound grew closer, as if some wild animal was approaching. Xia Ning gripped her hoe tightly, preparing to face any potential danger.

A moment later, a huge wild boar appeared in her field of vision. Its eyes gleamed with ferocity as it charged straight at Xia Ning. Without a second thought, Xia Ning swiftly dodged to the side, simultaneously striking the boar hard in the back with her hoe. The boar, in pain, turned and pounced on Xia Ning with even greater rage.

Xia Ning took off running, but she was no match for the wild boar. Seeing that it was about to catch up, she quickly threw a huge rock. The boar couldn't stop in time and crashed straight into it, letting out a miserable cry. Xia Ning took the opportunity to throw down two more large rocks, and the boar collapsed to the ground. She circled around to the side of the boar and reached out to put it into her spatial storage.

Once you enter the space, you're doomed, even if you don't die.

She gasped for breath, leaning against a tree, utterly exhausted from the life-or-death struggle. The mountains were indeed dangerous; she hadn't overestimated herself, this time it was pure luck. Giving up on picking chestnuts, she went straight back to the cave.

She felt she couldn't stay there any longer. If even one more wild boar were caught today, and she hadn't forgotten about the boulder in her spatial dimension, she would be the one to die. There were countless ways to stockpile supplies; why risk her life in such a dangerous place?

It's settled then. She'll go down the mountain tomorrow. As for the Xia family, who saw her steal anything? She just doesn't want to be sold. She'll deny it to the death. Let them find the stolen goods if they dare.

The villagers of Xia usually go to Pingyang Town for the market, so why doesn't she just go to another town?

Even a living person can die from holding their pee, so why would she, Xia Ning, be afraid of those beasts! No matter how bad they are, they're not as fierce as the wild animals in the mountains.

At night, upon hearing the howling of wolves, I was no longer indifferent as before, but instead felt a pang of unease.

Oh my god, what if a pack of wolves comes along? They'll tear her apart!

Comrade Xia Ning, who was full of ambition to conquer the mountains yesterday, chickened out!

I forced myself to sleep; I'll go down the mountain tomorrow.

The next morning, Xia Ning, having eaten two flatbreads, continued her journey collecting stones. These things proved incredibly useful in a pinch. Along the way, she couldn't resist picking up any cheap herbs, wild vegetables, and mushrooms she saw. Hoarding is an ingrained, uncontrollable trait among Chinese people.

Two days later, she finally saw smoke rising from the chimneys.

Tears streamed down her face. It had truly been so difficult! The soles of her shoes were long worn through; she was now wearing Old Xia's tattered shoes. Her only set of clothes was now just rags hanging on her body. Would anyone in town sell her anything looking like this?

By this time, there was no one left at the foot of the mountain. Reassured, she took out dozens of large rocks, surrounded herself with them, and rested. She had done this the night before because she couldn't find a cave. It gave her a great sense of security.

The moon was high in the sky, and even the dogs in the village were fast asleep. She slowly descended the mountain and headed towards Old Xia's house.

Grandpa and Grandma, I'm here again!

Don't blame her for taking advantage of them; they owe the original owner of this body. These past two days in the mountains, she'd only remembered that her father was a镖师 (bodyguard/escort) who made a fortune. The old woman's secret savings were probably all earned by her father. He too died in an accident while on a镖师 mission. As a result, no sooner had his son died than he began to mistreat his wife and children.

Her mother died from exhaustion after falling ill, and they wouldn't let her see a doctor. The original owner of this body suffered even worse; she was abused for over ten years and committed suicide because she refused to be sold.

Just like last time, deafening snoring could be heard from outside every house in the Xia family's yard. Were they just carefree, or did they have some savings? Sneaking into the backyard, I found they were raising two more piglets and three more pigs. Sure enough, the eldest son of the Xia family had some secret stash of money.

The cellar lock had been replaced. Wow, they'd gotten another shipment. She didn't believe they'd lock it if there wasn't something inside.

He took out a kitchen knife and fumbled around for a while before finally opening the cellar door. Xia Ning was dumbfounded. Holy crap, there was only half a bag of brown rice! How could they lock up something like that?!
