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

"There must be dozens of households."

He secretly went down to investigate several times, and found that there were indeed quite a few people in the middle of the mountain.

Currently, everyone is crowded together and too lazy to climb any further. When it gets too crowded, people will naturally start to climb.

Are there that many caves at the foot of the mountain?

"No, they built their own shacks."

Okay, nothing really can drive a person to their death.

The rain, like someone constipated, came and went, sometimes heavy, sometimes light, seemingly endless.

"Xiao Ning, there's someone walking around nearby."

Their worst fears came true: their secret base was breached by outsiders.

Done!

Sigh, she couldn't kick them out; after all, she didn't buy the land.

"Look, there's a wooden house over there!" the refugees shouted excitedly.

"There are houses here, and they're so well-built. Could they have originally lived on this mountain?"

Who the hell is staying here temporarily and has made such a nice place?

“They must have lived here before.” Along the way, they didn’t see any other houses, only this family living here. Were they living in seclusion here?

"Let's go over and take a look!"

Xia Ning originally wanted to release the wolf, but she was worried about what would happen if these people joined forces to kill it.

Thinking about it, it's best if it's just the two of them.

He quickly applied a weak makeup look to her and Jiang Yi, and changed them into tattered clothes. He put everything that shouldn't be in the house into his spatial storage; apart from a decent wooden hut, the rest of the place wasn't much better than that of refugees.

Jiang Yi looked at the refugees coming to their house and felt a deep sense of regret. He wouldn't be able to eat his hot pot or his barbecue for a while.

"who are you?"

Xia Ning pretended to be wary as she looked at those people.

“We are refugees from the foot of the mountain, young man, you are the only one living around here.”

"Ah."

So it turns out they really were living in seclusion here.

Looking at their gaunt faces, the dark circles under their eyes, and their tattered clothes, they knew that they had suffered a miserable life on the mountain.

“There’s a flood down the mountain. We won’t bother you. We’ll just set up a shed nearby and leave once the floodwaters recede.”

"Do as you please, but you'd better stay away from us. My brother doesn't like outsiders around."

"Okay!"

They've lived here for years, so naturally we can't just take over their place. A little compromise is perfectly fine.

In just a few days, the open space in front of the wooden house was filled with sheds.

During this time, Xia Ning didn't leave the house at all. Only Jiang Yi would occasionally pretend to go out to pick leaves. People saw that they were eating the same things, and apart from envying their nice house, they had no other thoughts.

All beings are equal, there's nothing to be upset about. Everyone gets along quite peacefully.

It's difficult to even have a chance to talk to someone, as the door to the cabin is always closed, making it hard for anyone to even see each other.

They were also curious as to why the other young man inside never went out; was he so ashamed to be seen by others?

The first time we met, things were pretty good, and we had a great conversation. Unlike now.

He always looks like a black-faced god, ignoring everyone, with a cold expression and two knives at his waist; he looks terrifying.

Xia Ning was also worried. How long would this rain last? It had been almost a month.

She initially thought the rain was nice, at least it would keep the weather cool.

However, the pleasure lasted only three days. Being cooped up in the house every day was no different from being in postpartum confinement.

Fortunately, there were plenty of wild grass and leaves on the mountain, so the refugees who fled up the mountain could still have something to eat.

As for those at the foot of the mountain, the odds are most likely against them. The fact that only one in ten survived is no exaggeration.

The temperature is probably only around 15 or 16 degrees Celsius right now. If it gets any colder, the refugees on the mountain will probably have a hard time getting through it.

They fled for their lives, and in their haste, most of them didn't bring warm clothes or blankets.

"The rain has stopped! The rain has stopped!"

Hearing the cheers outside, Xia Ning opened the window; the rain had indeed stopped.

The sky was still overcast, but there were no more raindrops. That was good; with the rain stopped, the floodwaters could recede slowly, and the temperature could rise.

"Xiao Ning, after the rain stops, shall we leave here?"

He found this place particularly annoying. Every two or three days, he had to pick a bagful of wild grass and endure the scrutinizing gazes of the refugees on the mountain. What he found most unbearable was that every time he went out, he not only wore tattered clothes but also spent half a day applying makeup to his face.

That stuff has an extremely pungent smell.

Xiao Ning even lied to him, saying it smelled good.

"No, let's wait until they're all gone. Otherwise, what will we do with our cabin? Should we take it down in front of them? Besides, the area down the mountain is definitely flooded, so we won't be able to travel down there."

Jiang Yi looked miserable, which meant that he would have to deal with these people for a long time.

"They will probably leave soon."

After all, their homes are down below, and once the rain stops, they want to go back and see how their homes are doing.

Suddenly realizing something, Xia Ning's expression turned extremely grim. "Jiang Yi, perhaps we'll have to stay here for a long time."

"What?"

"Too many people died in the flood, and their bodies were soaked in the water for so long. If someone drank this water or if they didn't cremate the bodies in time, Jiang Yi, if it gets hot, there is a high possibility of an epidemic breaking out."

Even if the weather remains the same, a large-scale epidemic could break out.

Jiang Yi didn't understand what the plague was or how terrifying it was. But judging from Xiao Ning's expression, she seemed very afraid of the plague.

"If you're worried, we'll hide in the mountains. As long as no one comes up, we can hide for as long as we want."

"Ah."

This man truly gave her a strong sense of security. She was so glad she had adopted him. During the long period of natural disaster, having a companion made things much easier.

She remembered reading a news story about a man who was stranded on a desert island during World War II. He was not found until twenty years later, and by then he had lost his ability to speak.

If a person has no one to talk to, then they lose the ability to speak.

Fortunately, she had someone by her side; otherwise, after the natural disaster, she might not even be considered a human being anymore.

How twisted must their minds be!

The refugees on the mountain have been in a very good mood every day recently. The rain really hasn't stopped. They've decided to go down and check in a few days to see how low the water has gone. If it's safe to walk, they'll go home.
