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

It took Xia Ning more than ten days to finish taking over the city, but there was no movement in the space.

The space is a glutton, with an insatiable appetite; it's hard for her to feed it. She doesn't know how much stuff will be needed for the next upgrade.

If all else fails, she'll collect stones from now on.

As they were preparing to leave, they saw a familiar face—the mother and child to whom she had once given a bowl of water.

"Benefactor!"

The woman was overjoyed to see her. But when she saw the two wolves beside her, she was nearly scared to death.

My benefactor is truly no ordinary person; after just a few days, he's even raising wolves. They're so obedient, lying beside her.

If she hadn't gotten so close, she would have almost thought it was a dog.

The mother and son stepped back at the same time.

Xia Ning carefully examined them and found that their complexions were much better than before.

She nodded slightly; having something to eat made all the difference, and prepared to leave. It was just a chance encounter, and she didn't want to have too much contact with the others.

Seeing that Xia Ning was about to leave again, the woman said anxiously, "My benefactor, this is what we stole in the chaos that night. Please don't be disgusted and accept it." As she spoke, the boy took off the bundle from his body and handed it to Xia Ning with both hands.

The woman was also a little nervous, wondering if her benefactor would find these things suspicious because they were of dubious origin.

"No need, I don't need these things. You can keep them for yourselves for the journey."

With such a large burden, even if we eat sparingly, it can last for a long time.

“My benefactor, we have left some.”

Xia Ning really didn't want it; she didn't need it. These were things people had risked their lives for, and they were their life-saving food.

Seeing that she didn't reach out, the boy simply stuffed the bundle into her arms.

They couldn't pretend nothing had happened, given the kindness and generosity of their benefactors. No amount of money could ever repay such a life-saving debt.

"Hey, no..."

He swallowed back his words of refusal.

What did she touch?

Xia Ning opened the bundle, and apart from some dry food, everything else was gold and silver jewelry.

The mother and son looked at her nervously. Although these things might not be worth much now, they might still be a burden to her.

But that was all they could give. The food that day was all in another wagon, which was mostly filled with gold and silver jewelry, a little dry food, and water.

They had little food, and kept half for themselves. Water, in just a few water sacks, was almost gone after their journey.

The mother and son lowered their heads in shame, unable to look at Xia Ning. She had saved his life, given him the most precious water; what had they given him?

So, no one noticed the surprise in Xia Ning's eyes when she saw these things. Jiang Yi was also surprised; these two actually had so many sparkly items, Xiao Ning must really like them.

She tightened her grip on the bundle. She couldn't bear to return it.

However, she didn't want to receive a favor without having done so.

"You guys come with me!"

He gave Jiang Yi a wink, signaling him to drive away.

Jiang Yi looked at Xia Ning, who was blinking at him repeatedly, and asked, "Did you get something in your eye? Let me blow it out for you."

Xia Ning: ……

Something got into your sister's eye! What happened to our perfect teamwork?

"Let's go back to the old house." The voice was laced with gritted teeth.

Watching the mule cart disappear into the distance, the mother and son exchanged bewildered glances. Their benefactor had told them to follow, so they obediently followed.

She didn't let them in from the outside, but she and Jiang Yi went in. She took out a wheelbarrow filled with food, water, a tinderbox, and two sets of clothes and shoes.

The most valuable thing she gave them was a wood-chopping knife.

It can be used for wilderness survival and can also be used as a self-defense weapon.

"You push this cart to them, and I'll drive it."

"it is good!"

"Here you go, this wheelbarrow. Consider this gold and silver as your spending money for buying things with me!"

She took it all without any fraud. So what if she's inflating prices? How can you compare current prices to prices in the past?

"That won't do. Those were gifts for our benefactor to play with. How can we accept so many of your things? They're just trinkets."

She was telling the truth; she had heard the lady scold her more than once and brought over some useless things.

They can't eat or drink, and they can't exchange them for food, so it's a pity to throw them away.

Xia Ning didn't want to argue with them anymore; it was pointless. "These things are useless to you, but they are useful to me. Alright, take your things and be careful when you leave, avoid crowds."

Seeing that Xia Ning insisted on giving them things, they were moved and didn't forget to take out another bundle.

"We still have half left. If our benefactor needs it, just leave three or four items for us, and the rest are yours."

Xia Ning looked at yet another bundle of treasures and fell silent.

It seems that robbing silver would be even faster.

She left them a few good things, and took everything else. It would be a burden for them to carry, but she wouldn't; she could take as much as she wanted.

They went into the yard again, added some grain and salt to their cart, and also stuffed ten pounds of dried meat into the cart.

The two were stunned to see that the carriage was now filled with even more items. They immediately refused; they had given their benefactors gold and silver, not more things—what kind of behavior would that be!

Before they could speak, Xia Ning jumped onto the mule cart and ordered Jiang Yi, "Let's go!"

The transaction is complete, great!

They were still in a daze until the mule cart disappeared.

"mother?"

"Son, you must remember our kindness for the rest of your life, understand?" The woman's eyes glistened with tears as she looked at the wheelbarrow.

The boy nodded.

"Let's find a place to stay first, and think carefully about how to get these things out of the city!"

"Um……"

While driving, Jiang Yi's mind was still filled with the two bundles of gold and silver he had just received.

Those two humans, so weak, managed to acquire so many treasures. And him? He could only gather scrap wood with Xiao Ning!

Is he really that useless?

The man fell into deep doubt about his own abilities.

Xia Ning, on the other hand, was thinking about how to rob the rich to help the poor. She was poor; her space contained nothing but food and other necessities.

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

"Dad, look, what we've dredged up is almost all mud now. In a couple of days, there might not even be any mud left. What should we do?"

The well water would dry up sooner or later, didn't they already know that? Let them store water, store water, and they're all as good as dead.

If we ask him now, what can he do?

Do you think he can conjure water?

"All three of you go fetch water. If you slack off again, we'll all die of thirst."

He and his wife went up the mountain every day and found a haystack deep in the mountains that had not been dug up by the villagers.

There were quite a few grass roots below, and two elm trees whose bark he had scraped off completely.

But these three troublesome fellows only fetch two buckets of water a day. After settling, there's hardly any left. They refuse to do even a little more. They lie on the kang (heated brick bed) all day pretending to be dead, and you can't get them to move.

He was tired, desperate, and couldn't keep going.

Just lie down and let the whole family die together, that would be fine too.

Xia Dayu panicked. If they give up, at least he'll survive. If he gives up, how are they supposed to live?

"Dad, don't be angry. We'll go fetch water right away."

As he spoke, he picked up the carrying pole and kicked his two sons, who still refused to move, a few times. "If you don't want to die, get up right now!"

Xia Dayu felt remorseful. Yes, without water, how would they survive? He shouldn't have listened to those two good-for-nothings and said that their father would take care of everything.

Dad isn't a bodhisattva; can he make God make it rain?

Xia Yaozu and Xia Fugui reluctantly got up and slowly went out.

They eat grass roots every day, and their faces are always green. The key is that they don't even get enough grass roots to eat, so where do they get the strength to carry water?

Looking at the scorching sun outside, all the courage I had mustered faltered. How could I possibly go out like this?
