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

Jiang Yi looked at her bright and cheerful expression, his mouth opened and closed, but he didn't dare to say what he wanted to say.

If Xiao Ning knew that the reason she hadn't found the sea after walking for so long and going in circles was because of him.

If Xiao Ning knew that there was a sea in Ningzhou Prefecture, would she be unable to resist killing him?

Even if she didn't kill him, wouldn't she at least try to get rid of him? The "useless teammate" she always talks about is probably him.

No, it's just a lot of water, right? And it's salty, so you can't drink it. Why is she so fixated on it for so long?

"Look, this is the ocean. Isn't it magnificent and beautiful!"

Xia Ning closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "This is the taste! It feels so good!"

The happier she was, the more timid he became, unable to meet her gaze, and weakly asked, "Shall we go over now?"

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Xiao Ning, isn't this just a big river? Why do we have to come here? Don't we already have lots and lots of water stored up?"

Brother Wolf had told him that this water was undrinkable.

"You don't understand. Don't be fooled by its surface appearance; it's full of nutrients inside!"

He couldn't understand.

You'll know when the time comes.

The sea has far more resources than rivers, and her long-awaited life of beachcombing can finally be realized.

"go!"

Helpless, Jiang Yi could only follow her, as wave after wave crashed against him, making him dizzy.

"Xiao Ning, this place is dangerous."

"It's just having fun, what's there to be afraid of? Tomorrow will be peaceful."

There's no wind or rain, so it's definitely not a typhoon. What's there to be afraid of?

It looked close, but after walking for half a day, it still felt so far.

"Stay here for the night."

She could already see the ground; how much further could it go? She wasn't in a hurry; she would just walk slowly.

Jiang Yi desperately wanted to persuade Xia Ning to give up on that place, but he knew he couldn't change her mind. She'd been searching for a place for months; why would she listen to his advice?

"Jiang Yi, we'll be settled in soon."

"Where will we live from now on?"

"Well, luckily we didn't see any villagers around here. From now on, that stretch of sea will be ours."

Is nobody here? Is that why she wants to stay?

“There are people over there, and there’s a village too. Didn’t you see it?”

What?

"where?"

He pointed to the black dots, "See those? There are so many houses."

He hoped that, because of someone, Xia Ning would give up this place.

"It's so far away, it doesn't conflict with our needs."

There are two mountains between us, what's there to be afraid of?

"What if they come here?"

"No, they have the sea there too. Even if they come, it won't be a problem. We can even learn about the local situation. We won't go hungry by the sea, and they pose no threat to us. Even if there is danger, you're still here, aren't you?"

Looking at the unwavering trust in her eyes, Jiang Yi silently looked away. He felt a little shameless. Yes, shameless. Not only had he led her down so many wrong paths, but now he was even trying to persuade her to give up the place she had been longing for day and night.

That's absolutely outrageous!

"Okay, let's do as you say and settle down by the sea."

You will fall in love with the sea!

It would be even better if we had a boat and could go out to sea occasionally!

"Jiang Yi, Sichuan peppercorns!"

"What is Sichuan pepper?" he asked, looking at her with a puzzled expression.

"Go, dig up those trees, I'm going to plant something in my space."

"Oh"

Along the way, whenever she saw something edible, she would ask him to dig a space for it, something he was good at.

"Once we've settled down, let's have hot pot. Adding this in will make it extra delicious."

As long as you can handle the numbness.

I wonder if Jiang Yi, who loves spicy food, also loves Sichuan peppercorns.

"Eating hot pot?"

"Ah."

"I'll go dig right away."

They were all excited and incredibly proactive.

Two days later.

Taking off her shoes and stepping onto the golden sand, Xia Ning opened her arms and felt the sea breeze.

After a long time...

She looked around and asked, "Jiang Yi, where do you think would be a good place to put our house?"

She definitely wants to stay away from the beach; she also wants to cultivate a vegetable garden.

"What about the area behind there? It's not far from the sea and the terrain is high, so the waves definitely won't reach it."

Xia Ning looked at the place he pointed to. It was not only high up, but also a large flat area. Most importantly, the location was quite secluded, with rocks blocking the view from both the front and back.

"Good eye, let's go take a look."

As it gets dark, let's get everything settled at home first.

This time, she brought out both wooden cabins. She felt that men and women should be different, and it wouldn't be right for them to always live in the same cabin.

The two wolves were also released to warn them to stay away from populated areas. With them guarding the house, they could usually sleep more soundly.

Jiang Yi saw that Xia Ning had set up two rooms, and then placed two beds in each room. His thin lips tightened, and he was very displeased.

Xiao Ning wants to share a room with him.

Xia Ning: When are we going to sleep together?

"Tomorrow, you build a stove, and we'll try to cook for ourselves as much as possible from now on."

The consumption of cooked food along the way was enormous.

"Okay. Should we build a kitchen? Cooking in the wooden hut will make the house dirty."

"Sure, but I don't know how."

Her space contained wood, bricks, tiles, and everything else.

"I can handle this kind of work."

He doesn't know how either. It's just stacking bricks one by one, it's not difficult at all.

After dinner, Xia Ning went back to her room. Before leaving, she made sure to put a desk and chair, as well as some books, writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in his room.

Now that life is more stable, I need to study even harder.

Unaware that Jiang Yi was staring intently at her back, she went back and lay on the bed with her legs spread wide.

The kitchen was finished, and she planned to take a stroll around the area. She wondered where she was, and if there had been any disasters.

How are the people in the town and county seat doing? Or have they all fled the famine?

Xia Ning got up early in the morning, ate breakfast, and took out the things she needed to build the kitchen. "You take your time, I'll go to the beach first and see if there's anything to pick up."

"Be careful."

He always felt that place wasn't safe. But Xiao Ning just liked it.

Xia Ning arrived at the beach, where a few small crabs occasionally crawled across the sand.

She took off her shoes, rolled up her trouser legs, and looked down carefully as the tide receded.

Conch, tower conch, cowrie shell, rattlescreech conch, and also a very large ribbon.

Maybe no one comes to this area, or maybe the people here don't eat snails. The snails here are all particularly large.

There were also crabs: swimming crabs, flower crabs, and stone crabs. Because it was shallow water, I didn't see any large fish, just a few small groupers and small pomfret occasionally…

Under a rock, Xia Ning saw an octopus. It wasn't very big; these kinds of octopuses are the most delicious. She didn't really like the really big ones, as they were too old.

They were very unceremonious; they would come into her bucket as soon as they saw her.

Holy crap, was that a lobster that just flashed in front of me?

This sea area is incredibly rich in resources!

She searched and picked up everything along the way, leaving nothing behind that was edible or of a decent size.

The bucket was full, so I got a new one. I walked around the beach twice, then went to look at the nearby rocks.

Over there on the rocks, there were mostly conches and crabs. But those crabs didn't have much meat, so she didn't catch any.

She even saw a large area of ​​rocks covered with barnacles and oysters.

Once Jiang Yi has finished building his house, let's come here to harvest barnacles and oysters!

She loves eating barnacles; they make a particularly delicious soup.
