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

The old bachelor resignedly picked up the man and headed towards Old Man Xia's grave.

He must have owed this family something in his past life, having taken care of one burden after another. Luckily, he's sure this is the last one; otherwise, he probably wouldn't be sleeping well lately.

One by one they die, who can bear that?

And so, Xia Dayu, who yesterday didn't want to stay in the graveyard, was forced to remain here forever, to stay with his parents and continue being their dutiful son, to keep them company...

The old bachelor couldn't stand living in the cave anymore; he felt uncomfortable inside, or rather, he felt uncomfortable just looking at it.

With Xia Fuxi by their side, they worked tirelessly in the valley, day and night. As soon as the house was completed, they moved out immediately. The sooner they left this unlucky and cursed place, the better...

(That concludes the story of the Xia family; the whole family has been honorably laid off!)

"Fuxi, I want to discuss something with you." The old bachelor, having spent two good days with his wife in their new home, said lazily, his arm around her.

"What happened?" She was a little sleepy, and looked up at him with sleepy eyes.

“We’ll be living here from now on, right? Look, the pond in this valley is quite deep. We’ve been here for so long, and we haven’t seen it go down.”

Xia Fuxi nodded, feeling happy too. As long as there was water, they wouldn't die, and they could live well here from now on. They would return to the village after the natural disaster passed.

He continued, "The water level in the stream outside has dropped, but it's still quite deep."

Xia Fuxi continued to nod.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" She looked up; why was this person acting so strangely today?

The old bachelor hesitated. Throughout his life, his relationship with the villagers had been lukewarm; no one had ever respected him, and no one had ever truly been close to him. In recent years, he had indeed been quite unambitious and unmotivated.

It's fair to say that his relationship with the villagers wasn't great. Thinking about it now makes me feel a bit like a hypocrite.

However, Old Lady Xia said that there were only a group of old men left in the village, and they planned to die there. He really couldn't bear to leave so many people behind.

If he didn't know, he wouldn't have cared. But now that he does, he's been feeling uneasy these past few days.

Those who would rather stay and wait to die than follow the famine refugee and burden their children are definitely the ones who keep nagging him to find a wife and live a good life; they're not bad-hearted.

He was orphaned as a child and relied on the charity of one family or the wild vegetables given to him by another to barely keep from starving. In a way, he grew up on the charity of many families.

These people are more conscientious and reliable than the Xia family.

He figured the valley was enough for them to live in. A patch of land by the stream wouldn't be a bad idea. And it was just sitting empty anyway, wasn't it?

These days, wasting money is a sin against heaven. Just look at the Xia family; they've definitely done a lot of immoral things.

With big guys around, this area will be more lively.

Sometimes, two people are really no different from lonely ghosts. All they do is stare at each other and talk about sex. Doing it occasionally is novel, but doing it every day gets boring.

“I want to bring the elderly people in the village to live in the cave. It’s such a big place, and there’s even a stream.”

"what?"

Xia Fuxi stared at him in shock. When did this man come up with this idea?

Seeing his wife's expression, he felt a rare bit embarrassed, and his earlobes turned slightly red.

“I thought it was better for them to come here than to stay in the village. Once the water here runs out, we can go back to the village together. Our well still has water, right? They must have water stored up too.”

"They're not even willing to follow their own family, so why would they follow you?"

Why doesn't she believe it so much?

How could she not know his reputation in the village? They must be crazy to believe him.

"Of course they would. They don't really want to die; they're just afraid of implicating their families. Besides, I'm not lying. If you didn't know, fine, but after your grandma told me, I've been thinking about it for the past few days. We're all from Xiajia Village, after all. What do you think?"

Xia Fuxi was a lively person, and every time the old bachelor went back to get his things, she couldn't sleep all night. Even when he went to work far away, she felt uneasy; if she called out to him, there was no answer. She was only now slowly starting to get used to it.

Bringing villagers over is not out of the question.

At least from now on, there will be people all around when I'm working, which will make me feel safe and secure. I can also chat with them and visit each other. There's so much water, the two of them can't possibly drink it all.

After thinking it through, Xia Fuxi felt no resistance whatsoever.

"Okay, go ahead. I just don't know if they'll believe you."

Old bachelor: ...

He kept speaking the truth, but he didn't know his own limitations, since very few people in the village actually believed him.

"Go ahead and give it a try. If they really don't come, then so be it." At least, Liu Dazhuang could live with his conscience.

"When are you going? Can I come along?" Xia Fuxi asked.

She really wanted to go with them; she was terrified to be alone. She hasn't been back to the village for a very long time; I wonder how she is doing.

The old bachelor thought for a moment. He used to be afraid of the Xia family causing him trouble, but now that they're all dead, what is there to be afraid of?

"Let's do it tomorrow, together."

Xia Fuxi happily kissed him a few times on the cheek. Finally, her husband was willing to take her down the mountain! So happy!

The two got up very early, packed their things, and with enough water and food, set off...

The village was deserted and hadn't been around for long; it looked like an abandoned village, and the houses were somewhat dilapidated. They walked in without seeing a single person, all the way to the middle of the village.

"uncle!"

"Dazhuang, Fuxi? You guys..."

No wonder Xia Dayu went to his house looking for someone; didn't he just kidnap someone's daughter? What a bastard!

"Why are you going back to the village? Didn't you go to escape the famine? There's nothing left in the village now. Hurry up and leave, head south." You're so young, don't end up like them, waiting to die here.

“Uncle, we’ve been hiding deep in the mountains these past few days. There’s water in the mountains.”

"There's water on the mountain?" How could that be? If there were water, the village wouldn't be fleeing the famine. The village chief sent people to investigate, and they only decided to leave because they couldn't find any water source.

“Really, there’s still a lot of water in there. Fuxi and I have been hiding inside the whole time. If it weren’t for Granny Xia finding us, I wouldn’t have known that everyone else had left and that you were the only ones left.”

"Fuxi, are your grandparents there too?" They knew they had gone to the mountains.

“Grandpa passed away as soon as he arrived. Grandma also fell seriously ill afterward, but she didn’t make it and passed away too. Even my father, who had also gone looking for us, had just found us. He was carrying us on his back when he drank too much water and died.”

Xia Fuxi's voice grew softer and softer. If they were to die one by one, would they still dare to follow?

Going there would be suicide.

Everyone:…

What bad things did the Xia family do? They were fine when there was no water, but now that there is, they can't hold on.

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Could it be that he caused a scene and got killed by Liu Dazhuang?

They all looked at the old bachelor with suspicion, unsure whether they should ask. Even if Fuxi was unfilial, she wouldn't stand by and watch her family members be killed one by one.

So, they're just unlucky.

What a terrible thing to do!

"Dazhuang, how much water do you have where you live? There are so many of us."

"We're all old folks, don't try to trick us!"

"Uncle, why would I come all this way back to lie to you? What do you have that I could possibly lie to you about? We're from the same village, and I just couldn't bear to see you without food or water."

When I was a child, without a single bite of food from you, I would have starved to death long ago. Yes, I, Liu Dazhuang, have not forgotten that!

There's plenty of water over there; there's a fairly large stream and a valley with a deep pond in the valley. Follow me; it'll definitely be better than staying in the village.”

Liu Dazhuang patted his chest and guaranteed it.

Everyone looked at each other, unsure what to do. If they left, who would look after the houses in the village?

Oh, I almost forgot, Xia Yaozu hasn't been buried yet.

"Fuxi, Yaozu has been dead in your yard for quite some time now. Do you want to go and bury him?"
