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

"This is our innkeeper! Mr. Hua!" the waiter introduced.

"Boss Hua, your steamed buns are delicious and flavorful!"

"The filling is generous; Mr. Hua is a truly honest man!"

"I can't even remember the last time I had a meat bun!"

"Boss Hua is really something! These days, besides you, who else has meat to eat?"

"It's delicious, everyone eat more!" The woman covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief, her smile full of charm.

Several of the refugees, who had just finished eating, stared wide-eyed.

The woman noticed Xia Ning and the other woman, who were standing still and not eating any buns.

She could tell at a glance that Xia Ning was a woman, and a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes. Just a cheap woman clinging to a man to survive.

When she saw Jiang Yi, her pupils dilated and her eyes lit up. Wow, this man's physique and build—he looks like a capable person. Her shop desperately needs someone like him!

That face has truly touched her heart; she also needs a capable person in her household.

"Young master, is it that the steamed buns made at our inn don't suit your taste? Tell me what you would like to eat, and I'll immediately tell the cook to make it."

As she spoke, she swayed her hips and moved closer to Jiang Yi.

As the woman approached, Jiang Yi took two large steps back, nearly suffocating from the stench. What was that woman smelling like? It was a mix of fragrance and stench, with a hint of blood. Had she fallen into a latrine and not washed herself?

The woman took a few more steps forward...

Jiang Yi continued to back away, looking at her warily: "You stink, stay away from me."

Xia Ning's lips twitched. This man really was... clueless about romance.

The woman's face instantly darkened. Damn it, she'd put on face powder! Was this man sick in the nose or in the brain? She was a stunningly beautiful woman, and he was already showing her disdain.

The onlookers burst into laughter, saying, "Boss lady, this young man must be blind. Come work for us, we brothers certainly won't mind."

"Exactly, what does that brat know? He's really asking for it and dares to act recklessly in front of you. He should be kicked out."

"Yes, Mr. Hua, you don't need another customer, just kick him out."

"He's not hungry anyway, so what's he doing here?"

The woman's expression was uncertain; she struggled to control herself, but anger burned in her eyes.

Jiang Yi, his face grim, didn't look at the female boss and said to Xia Ning, "Let's go."

"Hey, where are you going? Young man, I was being rude. How about I give you ten steamed buns as an apology?"

Seeing that he was about to leave, they hurriedly went to stop him.

Jiang Yi ignored her, his disdain written all over his face.

The atmosphere became tense. Xia Ning gave an awkward laugh: "You're too kind, ma'am. My brother is always like this; he's just not good at socializing. Let's skip the steamed buns and go upstairs to rest for a while."

"Okay, okay! Go upstairs and rest, rest."

The woman's face was contorted with rage; she really wanted to tear this ungrateful idiot apart. She was no less than the bean sprout beside him—either blind or heartless.

After watching Xia Ning and the others go upstairs, she winked at the waiter and then said to everyone with a charming smile, "Everyone gets a bit choked on just steamed buns. We also have bone broth and pig's blood soup. If you want some, just ask the waiter later!"

"Ai!"

Hearing that there was soup, everyone became even more excited. They'd really come to the right place; this inn was great!

Back in the room, Xia Ning looked at the man and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yi isn't one to make statements without reason; there must be a reason why he doesn't let her eat downstairs.

"This meat doesn't taste right."

Oh no, something's wrong?

She saw that those people were eating with great relish.

Is it because they've been hungry for so long that their sense of taste has disappeared?

"As soon as I entered this inn, I smelled blood. The waiter and that woman both smelled strongly of blood."

"They might not have enough manpower, so they're killing and cooking themselves," Xia Ning explained. In modern times, there aren't many small eateries that only have two or three people who don't need to do anything!

"No, Xiao Ning, the smell of blood on them isn't from animals, it's from humans."

Jiang Yi explained anxiously.

Xia Ning stared wide-eyed in shock at Jiang Yi, utterly incredulous. What did he say?

So, they went into a shady shop?

Is this shopkeeper some kind of modern-day Sun Erniang?

Thinking of the delicious smell of meat downstairs and the passersby enjoying their meal, I couldn't help but feel nauseous.

"vomit……"

Jiang Yi quickly patted her back gently.

Damn it, that's disgusting! It's disgusting to the core.

That woman just now also mentioned selling bone broth and pig's blood soup...

"vomit……"

Jiang Yi: ...

He shouldn't have disgusted Xiao Ning; he should have quietly killed them.

He was wrong to say that she reacted the same way when she saw the pile of corpses in the village last time.

"Xiao Ning!"

Xia Ning waved her hand, indicating that she was fine; she was simply disgusted by the evil in human nature.

Should we go?

He felt very uncomfortable there; the strong smell of blood was everywhere, and he felt nauseous after smelling it all night.

Why wouldn't they leave? These disgusting creatures don't deserve to be human. Are we going to keep them around to continue harming the disaster victims?

If those people knew they were actually eating their own compatriots, how much psychological trauma would they suffer?

No, we have to kill them!

"Sir, Sir!"

The waiter's voice rang out from the doorway.

Xia Ning replaced the furniture with the original ones.

Jiang Yi got up and opened the door.

Looking at his dark, grimy face, the waiter was startled. This simpleton, this brute, he wondered what the boss saw in him. Taking a closer look, he figured maybe he was strong enough to cause trouble.

Jiang Yi almost stabbed himself. He disliked the man's gaze, as if he were an object.

"What are you here for?"

"Our manager noticed you hadn't had breakfast and was worried you'd be hungry. So here's some freshly made bone broth and five big meat buns. He asked me to bring them over for you two to try!"

Hmph, once you've eaten this meat, the next time someone else is eating yours!

"We don't want it, you take it back." He was afraid Xiao Ning would throw up again because it was so disgusting.

Humans are so cruel. Even wolves, no matter how hungry they are, will never harm their own kind.

"No, don't worry, I won't take your money."

The waiter didn't give him a chance to refuse and simply placed the items on the table.

"Wow, this room is so clean! Where did you get the water to clean it, sir?"

He remembered that they didn't ask him for water.

"You, who are in the water bag, can get out."

"If you keep asking, something bad will happen," Xia Ning interrupted the waiter.

"Yes." He closed the door, spat dismissively, and said, "Pah, what a piece of trash!"

"I took it out and threw it away."

He was afraid Xia Ning would vomit again soon.

"No need, I'll put away my space first. If we keep refusing, it will only attract their attention."

Xia Ning accepted the furniture and the human flesh buns delivered by the waiter. She then took out her own. Although she felt nauseous even for a second, she had to endure it and wait until evening.

We don't know how many of them there are, so it would be very dangerous to act rashly.

If there weren't other guests inside, she would have loved to burn this filthy place down.

"Has the meat been delivered?"

"Boss, those two don't know what's good for them, why not just poison them?" The waiter didn't understand, what use would drugging them be?

"That woman is quite pretty; I'll keep her to attract customers. As for the man, hmph, he'll be mine from now on."

Young and strong, with a bull's waist, she liked him.

The waiter looked at her sulking and his eyes showed disgust.

"Take it easy, don't mess things up. I don't think that guy is a nice guy."

Every time he saw him, he dared not look him in the eye; his gaze seemed to want to peel him apart, making him terrified.
