A peasant girl with a special ability uses herself and two wolves to escape famine!
Chapter 86 Unnamed Draft
The villagers didn't know why the village chief was calling for people in such a hurry, but they still honestly helped to notify each household.
When everyone arrived, they were stunned to see the burlap sack that had been moved to the center of the courtyard. The sack was opened, revealing it to be completely filled with brown rice and flour; they even saw white rice and flour. The sheer whiteness stung their eyes.
With so much grain, the young men are back! How did they manage to buy it? Why haven't I seen them? Did they go to rest?
Indeed, this journey must have been very arduous.
However, no one knew they were coming back, and no one asked them to come and move their things.
"Village chief, they're back?" We must thank them properly; so much grain must be hard to buy.
"Yes, our benefactor has bought the food and secretly delivered it to us last night. He has already left."
The villagers were shocked. They just left? They left without saying a word? The way they handled things... made them feel guilty. Back then, they charged people 100 coins a bowl of water.
I can't think about this. The more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm not human and that I'm not doing anything human.
"These four bags of fine grains were given to the children and the elderly by our benefactor. We'll count the number of people in a bit and divide them equally among everyone. In addition to the grains, they also bought us salt, dried meat, and radishes. We'll weigh all of these things in a bit and divide them equally among each family."
The village chief felt increasingly ashamed as he spoke. They had treated them sincerely, yet they had schemed against them and distrusted them. Even when they offered to help the village buy grain and give him money, he had kept it to himself and only gave them half.
With so much stuff, the money he gave them definitely wasn't enough; they were practically paying out of their own pockets to help them.
His biggest mistake in life was overthinking. I wonder if he'll ever be able to repay what he owes.
"village head!"
The village chief waved his hand, saying that the favor had already been owed and the person had already left, so saying anything now would be superfluous. "Distribute the grain!"
Dividing the grain! That sounds so damn appealing!
Every household went home to get cloth bags, lined up, and watched the people being weighed, their hearts pounding with excitement...
Thank you, young man, thank God for sending them here, thank you for their kindness...
They don't need to flee famine, they don't need to fight with others, perhaps they can survive this natural disaster...
………………
"There's another city ahead."
Xia Ning lifted the curtain, feeling that she would probably have to search for the sea forever.
Now, she's getting a bit serious; she won't give up until she finds the sea.
Shall we go in?
"No, let's keep going."
Upon receiving the order, Jiang Yi hadn't even cracked the whip before the mule started running.
"Jiang Yi, there are almost no refugees to be seen on this road."
"Yes, there's water along the way, so they definitely won't go any further. I think we can go and check out the next city."
"Row."
They fled famine until the end of time, until there were no refugees left. That's something else.
"Xiao Ning, I think it looks like it's going to rain."
Dark clouds loomed overhead; the sky, which had been bright just moments before, was now so dark he thought it was night.
I am!
Xia Ning couldn't help but swear. How could the weather change so quickly, even faster than she had! It was perfectly sunny just now.
"Where can I find shelter from the rain?"
"There's a mountain ahead, shall we go up the mountain?"
Xia Ning: ……
The scene was so familiar; was she going to brave the rain and walk the mountain path again?
"Let's go up the mountain."
The mountain paths here are not as easy to walk as before. We no longer lack water. The mountain is covered with trees and wild grass.
She dared not be careless here; it was hot, and snakes, insects, and rodents were most prevalent.
They summoned two wolves and followed them up the mountain.
"Jiang Yi, at what age do wolves look for mates?"
"Two years old."
Isn't that because the natural disaster hasn't passed yet?
"If there are no other wolves along the way, will those two go crazy, being single all the time?"
I've heard that some cats go into heat at certain times, and they'll go crazy if they don't have a mate.
"No, they have self-control. They find their own wives; if they don't, it just means they're incompetent."
There's no mother wolf, so what's with the heat? Xiao Ning is just talking nonsense.
Oh dear, this man is really heartless.
There aren't any females, and there aren't any males either. Where are they supposed to find them? If you're so capable, why don't you conjure one up yourself?
"Don't worry, there's plenty of water behind here, and there are definitely wild animals in the mountains. If we run through a few more mountains, we're sure to find two female wolves."
She doesn't want to, she refuses.
She's just a weakling, how could she possibly defeat a wolf?
"Let them go up the mountain and find it themselves. If they don't find it, they can come back down?"
"That's possible. But I'm worried about encountering ferocious beasts, like big insects or bears. We can't beat either of them."
Xia Ning trembled even more upon hearing this; she was no match for him.
Never mind, it's still early, they haven't grown up yet, no rush.
"Let's talk about this later."
Dark clouds loomed overhead, making it seem as if they could reach out and grab the clouds.
It's bound to pour down in a moment.
"Let's hurry and find a place to stay."
Jiang Yi pulled her along and led her away. The two wolves were also getting agitated.
We were lucky this time; despite the huge clouds, it didn't rain for a long time.
They found a large open space, and Xia Ning released the house.
It's convenient that there are no refugees following us.
Inside the house, two wolves paced back and forth.
What's wrong with them?
"They might feel unsafe if the rain gets particularly heavy later."
It must have been raining so hard to scare them like this.
Xia Ning ran outside to check, and found that their location was not susceptible to mudslides. There were huge boulders behind them.
"Ask them if they want to enter the space."
Seeing Baozi so anxious, she felt sorry for her.
"Ouch..."
"..."
They said they wanted to go in; they didn't sense any wild animals nearby, so it should be safe.
Xia Ning wanted to say that there were no wild animals, but there were snakes, giant snakes, venomous snakes, which were just as frightening.
She stored them in her spatial storage and found the grains were ripe. After harvesting a batch and planting the seeds, she saw Liang Yi looking at her expectantly.
"What's wrong?"
"Hungry!"
Alright, rainy days are the most comfortable for eating and sleeping.
"What to eat?"
"BBQ!"
She rolled her eyes at him. This guy is getting better and better at knowing what to do in different environments.
Charcoal brazier, grill, various meats, seasonings, vegetables, mung bean soup, apples, plums.
Jiang Yi took the initiative to roast the chicken.
Flip it over, and the pork belly sizzles with oil.
The grilled meat was first placed into her hands.
Xia Ning wasn't very hungry. After climbing the mountain path all the way, she just wanted to eat something and then take a nap.
In such an environment, two people sharing a room is the safest option.
"You eat slowly, I'm going inside to take a nap. There are two beds inside, don't sleep on the floor."
"Okay." Jiang Yi's lips curled up; Xiao Ning had saved a bed for him!
"Pat-pat, pat..."
It's raining!
Before long, the rain intensified. A little while later, it turned into a downpour.
Xia Ning was a little worried. She didn't know how her house was doing. With the heavy rain, would it leak?
When it was being done, I specifically asked the craftsman to cover the entire house with three layers of tarpaulin and apply two coats of wood.
Logically, it shouldn't leak at all. If theirs leaked, the outer houses would all collapse.
