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

Even Xia Dayu was deterred by the blinding sunlight.

But at night, the road is invisible, and carrying water is arduous. Most importantly, the well water is running low, and time is of the essence.

The old folks who remained in the village took turns fetching water and digging up grass roots day and night; they never stopped.

"Dad, we've worked ourselves to the bone carrying two buckets of water, but they don't hold much water at all. It's not enough to drink," Xia Yaozu complained.

This job is impossible to do; even if I worked myself to death, I wouldn't be able to store enough to drink for more than a few days.

"If we don't do this, what will we drink?"

Xia Yaozu looked in the direction where the old man lived with ill intent.

Xia Dayu understood immediately.

"Can this be done?"

"Why not? Those old fogies are blind and deaf. They're all going to be buried soon. They won't even know if something is missing."

In the past, he would have definitely given them some medicine to kill them all and save himself the trouble.

Unfortunately, the family was so poor they didn't even have rats, let alone rat poison.

Xia Fugui's cross-eyed eyes darted around, and he felt that his elder brother's method was feasible.

They can take it, they can steal it, it's so much easier!

So, the father and his two sons, who had gone out to fetch water, happily decided to steal it that night. Darkness would make things easier!

Seeing the three people who had returned less than fifteen minutes after leaving, Old Man Xia and Old Woman Xia felt their anger rising uncontrollably. They really wanted to beat the three good-for-nothing beasts to death!

"Why are you back?"

"Dad, tonight, we're going out to pull off a big heist. You'll be eating and drinking like royalty with us!"

Old Man Xia didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. With him around, he couldn't even get a drink of water. What else could he expect?

Besides being good at bragging, the boss really has no other skills.

Xia Laoda was full of confidence about the operation that night. He thought that once he got the water, he would see if his father would still look down on him.

The father and his two sons hid in the father's room and discussed the matter for most of the day.

"Old man, what do you think they're trying to do?"

"They're definitely not doing anything good. Why do you care what they're doing? A bunch of good-for-nothings, thinking they can accomplish anything? Dream on!"

How could he not know their plans? Who else in the village could they possibly care about now?

Hmph, those three of them, trying to mess with those old geezers? They're just asking for trouble.

He's been with them his whole life. If he could have gained an advantage, would he have waited until now?

He was utterly disappointed in Xia Dayu. Not only was he lazy, but he was also stupid. How could the three of them, weaklings, possibly beat anyone?

I'm not afraid of bad people, I'm not afraid of stupid people, I'm afraid of people who are both bad and stupid.

He deliberately kept quiet and didn't ask any questions. They were all so capable, so he let them run into trouble. Anyway, the villagers wouldn't kill them, so he let them do whatever they wanted.

Night fell. Old Man Xia didn't go dig up the grass roots; he and his wife sat cross-legged, waiting for the three good-for-nothings.

The elderly couple sitting together, waiting to see their children and grandchildren make fools of themselves, is truly something else.

Xia Laoda and his two companions sneaked into the courtyard where the old men and women lived. They knocked down the two families' courtyards and combined them into one family, living together.

It's late at night, and the old guys are still up. They have so much energy! They work during the day and at night, how come so few of them die?

"Sixth Brother, you rest for a while, I'll go pick one out."

“Let’s go together. We’re not tired now, and we won’t be tired even if we want to in a few days.”

"That's true, this water won't last much longer." Today's catch was mostly mud and little water.

"I wonder where Brother Chun and the others are. Did they have any water to drink along the way?"

"I'm so worried I can't sleep. I wonder how the village chief and the others are doing?"

"There's no use worrying. We old folks should just stay home and stock up on water."

"Why doesn't the Xia family leave?"

Xia Laoda heard them talking about his family and pricked up his ears.

"No water, no food, what are we supposed to do!"

"This family, apart from Xia Lao Er's family, isn't a single decent one!"

"That's right, Xia Lao Er is a fool too. He worked like a slave his whole life, only to have Xia Lao Da benefit from it!"

"It's all because those old folks are so shameless!"

"That family is so pathetic, they won't last long. They have no food, no water, I feel so sorry for them."

"They're too lazy to even pick up a fallen oil bottle; if they don't starve, who will?"

"The whole family, not a single one of them works, and they haven't starved to death yet. That's amazing."

“Only his family and us are left in the village. Old Xia is no good, and his two sons are no decent human beings either. They have nothing to eat, so they will inevitably be eyeing us. We have to be careful.”

"If he dares to come, I'll break his legs!"

"Hmph, with Xia Dayu's cowardly nature, would he dare?"

"Exactly, that bastard wobbles even when carrying a bucket of water, he's a complete waste!"

"Hahaha……"

Xia Dayu's hands clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound. A bunch of old bastards! Today he's not only going to steal water, but he's going to take everything they eat.

You old geezers, you're just wasting food by living, you should all just die!

If it weren't for my father stopping them, the Xia brothers would have rushed out just now.

Who do you look down on?

"We'll go over after they go fetch water!"

"it is good!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Xia Yaozu's eyes. Once he had stolen all the water, he would set it on fire and burn them all to death inside.

The people in the courtyard didn't chat for long before they left one after another, carrying their buckets of water.

"Let's go in!"

You look down on me? I'll just come and steal from you!

The father and his two sons walked into the yard without any hesitation, shouting, "Dad, water!"

Two large water vats in the courtyard were filled with clean water. Looking closer, one could vaguely see their own reflection in the moonlight.

Xia Dayu's Adam's apple bobbed up and down. How long had it been since he had seen so much clean water?

Instinctively, he lowered his head and buried his face in the jar to drink water.

Xia Yaozu and Xia Fugui, their eyes gleaming with envy, moved closer to the water vat and, ignoring everything else, buried themselves in the water and drank it down.

This is so sweet, it's delicious!

How long has it been since they've drunk water so freely! It feels so good!

After the father and his two sons gulped down their fill of water, they looked up with satisfaction.

These old geezers are really capable; they managed to fetch so much water.

Xia Yaozu decided not to set the fire anymore; it would be more appropriate to keep it and occasionally take advantage of it.

"Dad, fill the water!"

Xia Dayu hurriedly went to get the wooden buckets he had brought. He realized he hadn't brought enough; he should have brought two more buckets.

He was worried that too many buckets would make it difficult to move, so he took two to test the waters, but he didn't expect it to go so smoothly!

Hahaha……

He, Xia Dayu, finally received a stroke of divine favor!

The people in the old lady's yard next door heard the noise and came out to check. Could it be that a wild animal had come down from the mountain?

These supplies are for public use, and everyone cherishes them.

Especially the water; without it, these old bones of theirs are left only to wait for death.

"What's wrong?"

"Shh, there seems to be movement over the water tank, let's go check it out!" If it really is a wild beast, they must make sure it doesn't come back, so they can have an extra meal for everyone.

"Could it be a giant insect? Or a wolf?"

"No, the sound isn't loud, it can't be anything big!" Each of them held a thick wooden stick and quietly approached the water vat.
