Who are you to take advantage of them?

What a big face!

No wonder Da Ya refused to travel with him. If they did, she feared these people would devour her!

The village elder closed his eyes, unwilling to deal with these shameless scoundrels.

The old village chief gently urged, "It's getting late, you should hurry on your way."

Well, since they've made it this far, they'll definitely have no problem getting to the rest of the way. It's best to keep our distance from them.

"Village chief, how could you let them go?"

Several villagers who were looking to take advantage of the situation were shocked. The person was gone, so the cart was gone, the mule was gone, and the grain in the cart was gone too.

No, absolutely not!

"Shut up, all of you!" the village chief roared, then waved weakly at Xia Ning, signaling her to leave quickly.

Xia Ning raised an eyebrow, never expecting that the old village chief, who had spent his whole life trying to smooth things over, could be so decisive.

If it were her, she would definitely stop caring about these people who take advantage of others; they are nothing but a burden.

She glanced at the villagers surrounding her, refusing to let her pass, and sneered.

Jiang Yi drew his long sword from his waist, Xia Ning boarded the mule cart, and released two wolves. The larger wolf dismounted and howled at the people around them...

He was fat and strong, with fierce eyes, looking ready to pounce and tear into something at any moment...

Everyone screamed in fright at the sudden appearance of the wolf, and the group scattered. The old village chief's pupils constricted slightly. No wonder they had been unharmed all the way; when did this girl learn to control wolves?

She actually kept two such ferocious wolves as pets.

Xia Ning coldly watched as the villagers scattered in all directions, trembling with fear and desperately trying to escape—a bunch of cowardly bullies who prey on the weak.

With a sneer, she got back onto the mule cart, and the wolf followed her. Jiang Yi cracked the whip, and the mule took off running happily forward.

All that was left for them was dust flying everywhere...

"village head?"

It took the villagers a long time to come to their senses. They looked at the old village chief with eyes full of resentment.

"If you think you can get away with this, then go after them." After saying that, he ignored them and leaned against a tree to rest.

The longer you flee from famine, the more you lose your humanity...

His heart felt desolate; perhaps he should start thinking about his own future.

The villagers looked at each other, wondering who would dare to chase after them, given the presence of both knives and wolves.

That brat is so heartless! We're from the same village, and she won't help with anything. With such a selfish personality, no wonder the Xia family dislikes her. In her own home, she'd be beaten to death.

Several women spat in the direction the mule cart had gone.

Turning around, their faces were filled with worry. They had truly suffered terribly along the way; their food supplies were dwindling. All they could find on the road were grass roots and tree stumps. Those who had nothing to eat could barely walk, couldn't even relieve themselves, and the child was crying incessantly. What were they going to do?

"Xiao Ning, those people are all bad."

He possessed the keen senses of a wolf, able to sense their deep-seated malice.

"Well, let's just ignore them." The old village chief is a decent person, and the others aren't all bad either; there are always a few troublemakers around.

However, none of this concerned her; everyone fled their respective homes and did not interfere with each other.

"Kind person, please give me some food, I beg you!"

In the evening, just as I stopped to have a bite to eat, some refugees from the neighborhood came up to beg.

What's wrong with her? She's so far away from the crowd, yet she still sticks to us. Are we forcing her to walk on mountain paths?

"No."

"How could there be no food? How could you keep mules if there's no food?" Seeing Xia Ning lying through his teeth, the refugee suppressed his resentment and pleaded with a face full of misery: "Please, young man, my little grandson hasn't eaten for two days. He's so hungry he can barely keep his eyes open."

If you can't even open your eyes, doesn't that mean you're dead?

What a liar!

Xia Ning was impatient and went straight into the carriage. If they dared to lift the curtain, she would dare to stab them.

aunt:……

You heartless bastard!

"Young man, I think you're a kind-hearted person. Could you spare me a bite to eat?" She looked at Jiang Yi with hopeful eyes, but unfortunately, this man had no conscience at all and didn't get her point.

Jiang Yi turned his head away immediately, wanting to avoid seeing it altogether. He was always eating and drinking Xiao Ning's food; he had nothing to give them.

Even if he had the money, he wouldn't give it to her. Why should he? He still has his younger brother and Xiao Ning to support.

"Young man, how about this? I'll give you my eldest daughter, and you give me a pancake in return, okay?"

Someone was pushing their skinny, ghost-like daughter in a wheelchair, intending to sell her to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi looked at him in confusion, "You sell her to me, and I have to feed her? Do you think I'm that stupid?"

They really thought he was easy to fool, giving them bread and then expecting him to raise their children. Xiao Ning said, "What's this again? Right, it's called 'sucker.'" They wanted to call him that.

"My daughter can do chores for you," the old woman said, winking at him frantically.

"I'm out of work, I'm fleeing famine!" So thin, what can I do? Jiang Yi curled his lip in disdain.

The old woman was convinced; this simpleton said, "I'll warm your bed when I'm fleeing famine."

The woman felt ashamed after she finished speaking. Was this man all height and no brains? Did she really need to spell things out so clearly?

That's absolutely infuriating!

The girl beside him looked at Jiang Yi in horror. She was a little afraid of this man; he looked so fierce and scary. But she also wanted to follow him and live a life with food and drink. After hesitating for a while, she immediately made a decision. Gritting her teeth, she knelt down in front of Jiang Yi with a "plop," staring at him with her small, beady eyes, looking utterly pitiful.

Jiang Yi was certain that these people were indeed mentally ill. On such a hot day, sending someone to warm his bed was just a way of saying they were afraid he wouldn't be hot enough.

Besides, does he need someone to warm his bed? During the cold snap, Xiao Ning said he was like a furnace.

"I'm warm enough, I don't need you, go find someone else to warm me up."

Looking at the strong man in front of her, uttering the most heartless words, the young girl felt wronged and wanted to cry. She was rejected; even offering to warm someone's bed was unwanted.

Everyone:…

Is this guy some kind of idiot?

Xia Ning: ……

Dude, you're really something!
