A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 70 Heavy Rain
The mules ran fast, leaving the disaster victims far behind.
"Jiang Yi, run away, let's go up from the other side, and avoid running into them." Too many people will make things inconvenient.
"it is good!"
On the other side of the mountain, only they were there. Xia Ning put away the mule cart with peace of mind and walked up the mountain.
Because of the drought, all the grass had died, and the trees were bare. The mountain path was easier to walk on than they had expected, which made things easier for them.
Xia Ning released the wolves to go up the mountain with her. Who knew what might be up there? With them there, she felt at ease.
The two wolves, who hadn't ventured out for a long time, came out and, upon seeing the desolate mountains, began to run wild, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ning was a little angry. Letting them out? Was it just for fun? Couldn't they be a little more reliable? Didn't they see what time it was?
She said to the man, "Call them back."
Jiang Yi whistled, and soon two wolves came rushing towards them again.
"Tell them to stay with us, not to wander off, and to let us know if there is any danger."
"it is good."
After Jiang Yi scolded them, the two wolves followed them listlessly, no longer daring to act as freely as before.
Seeing them like this, Xia Ning felt sorry for them. The two little ones were still just children, at an age when they should be playing. She shouldn't have restricted them.
"Once we find a habitat, you can come and play."
The wolf wagged its tail and excitedly circled around Xia Ning.
Jiang Yi was speechless. What was he trying to do, changing his mind so quickly?
"rumble!"
The loud thunder startled them.
Oh my god, could the thunder be any louder?
"Xiao Ning, there's a big tree up ahead. Let's go there and take shelter for a while. The rain might get really heavy later," Jiang Yi suggested.
Xia Ning rolled her eyes. Was she hiding under a tree because she was afraid she wouldn't die fast enough? If she was going to die, she wanted to drag Xia Ning down with her.
"Remember, never hide under a tree during a thunderstorm, or you'll easily get struck by lightning."
"Why?"
"Because the tree is big, it's easy for lightning to strike. If you're under the tree, wouldn't you be struck down along with it?"
Jiang Yi had an "I see" look on his face.
"No wonder I used to sometimes find charred prey under the trees after thunderstorms in the mountains. Turns out, they were struck by lightning!"
Xia Ning reiterated, "Yes, so it's better to get wet in the rain than to try to avoid it haphazardly."
"I see."
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.
The thunder grew louder and louder with each boom.
"Xiao Ning, look! That tree in the distance has been struck by lightning!" Jiang Yi was incredulous when he first saw this sight.
It turns out that lightning really did strike the big tree first.
"I'm not blind," Xia Ning said irritably.
That tree was on fire; the fire was so big, no one could have missed it.
Xia Ning felt a sudden, inexplicable wave of fear. "Please, Buddha, don't strike me! I've really never done anything wrong. At most, I just stood by and watched someone die..."
"I will definitely do good deeds and cultivate good karma from now on. Please bless me to live a long and healthy life..."
Jiang Yi, unaware of what she was muttering, pulled her along and quickened his pace.
Finally, the rain that had been building up for months finally fell...
Large raindrops pelted them, stinging Xia Ning. They immediately took out raincoats, one for each person, put them on, and continued on their way. They didn't stop, continuing their ascent.
After a long while, Jiang Yi led her to stop in front of a cave. In front of the cave was a large flat area. This was the perfect place for them to stay temporarily.
At this moment, both the two men and the two wolves were soaked to the bone.
Ancient raincoats were of really poor quality.
He took out the wooden house from the space, along with several buckets of hot spring water, dry clothes, and a large towel, and had Jiang Yi take the wolf for a bath.
She was taking a bath in the inner room.
After taking a shower, she stood at the door.
The rain was so heavy it felt like the sky was a funnel, pouring bucket after bucket of water down. Even the driest land would be soaked by such heavy rain.
Similarly, in such heavy rain, disaster victims on the road could not walk at all. The rain curtain blocked their vision, and there was nowhere to take shelter from the rain. They could only grit their teeth and walk forward under the tarpaulin covering their heads.
"Jiang Yi, let's have hot pot!"
They hadn't cooked for a very long time. The rainy day was both refreshing and helped wash away the smell of hot pot.
"Okay!"
The man's eyes gleamed. "I want more grilled meat!"
Xia Ning ignored him, thinking that if she ate too much at once, she wouldn't be able to handle it all, and what would she eat tomorrow?
"We're only having hot pot today."
Ok!
Jiang Yi had no choice but to compromise.
Pork belly, ribs, free-range chicken, fish, shrimp, lotus root slices, various seafood, green vegetables, radishes, frozen tofu, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms...
"So much!" We don't usually have this much food.
"Hmm, you have a big appetite, we must eat to our hearts' content today." As he spoke, he took out ten frozen pears, frozen persimmons, apples, and mung bean soup.
She didn't take the wine; drinking too much could lead to trouble.
In years of famine, it's best to avoid alcohol.
They also gave the wolves a small bowl of meat from the game they had hunted during the cold snap, along with a few frozen pears and a watermelon.
Once the soup boils, add the vegetables.
While waiting for the vegetables to cook, he took out 20 steamed buns. This guy wouldn't be full even with so many dishes if he didn't have staple food.
"Is it tasty?"
Jiang Yi happily dipped his food in the extra spicy sauce that Xia Ning had prepared for him.
"Delicious, so refreshing!"
He hadn't eaten anything this spicy in a long time, and a light sweat broke out on his forehead.
"That was really awesome!" Jiang Yi exclaimed comfortably.
Xia Ning scooped out a chicken leg, took a bite, and found it firm and chewy. This free-range chicken was indeed delicious. Modern mediocre chickens simply couldn't compare.
Just after she finished eating a chicken leg, Jiang Yi picked up another one for her.
"You can have the chicken legs and wings, I'll eat the chicken body."
He discovered that Xia Ning's favorite parts were chicken legs and wings. He didn't touch what Xia Ning liked, choosing instead to eat other parts. He wasn't picky; he thought any meat was delicious.
Xia Ning looked at him but didn't say anything. Since he was willing, she didn't care. In any case, she was the one who benefited.
After eating her fill, Xia Ning set out two beds, covered with thin blankets, and drifted off to sleep to the sound of rain.
The wolf lay down beside them, resting with its eyes closed.
The disaster victims who fled to the mountains were also soaked to the bone after the heavy rain. But they were lucky enough to find two huge caves, where everyone gathered to take shelter from the rain.
The firewood was completely soaked, as were their bundles and clothes.
It took them a long, long time to finally get a fire going. The burning embers were extremely uncomfortable, but what could they do? They still had to huddle together for warmth and try their best to dry their clothes.
It's better than getting wet and catching a cold. Getting sick at this time could be fatal.
Everyone endured the thick smoke, huddled together to keep warm, and dried their clothes.
Looking at the heavy rain outside, after the initial excitement subsided, I wondered, "How are the people down the mountain doing?"
With no village in front and no shop behind, what can we do besides get soaked in the rain?
They themselves weren't much better off; their bundles were completely soaked, and the food inside was also soaked. With so many people around, no one dared to take it out to bake.
It's bad if it rains, and it's bad if it doesn't rain. What a mess!
The disaster victims in the rain are indeed having a tough time right now.
They thought the rain would stop after a while, but as darkness fell, the rain showed no signs of abating.
They even felt that the rain was getting heavier.
The child had been pelted by the rain for over two hours, crying loudly from the cold. They were the same, enduring the rain with great effort. The elderly were even more unsteady on their feet, swaying precariously.
God, you're not giving people a way to survive!
After such a long drought, it suddenly started raining, and it's been raining non-stop ever since!
