Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

Sang Ning was dreaming that he was eating a pig's tail.

The braised pig tails weren't done well this time; they had no flavor at all and were hard and tough—they were awful!

No more!

As she spat it out, the man finally withdrew his finger as if relieved.

"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt is so hungry she's eating your hand."

Xiao Jintang felt even more guilty.

He should have just tricked that little fool and gotten the food from his hand first.

Anyway, Uncle Si said that there wasn't a single good person in this village, so why couldn't he bear to do it!

Well, after going around in circles, all I got were some things that couldn't fill my stomach.

Fourth Auntie was sick and had nothing to eat!

"Don't tell anyone when you get out!"

The boy's ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and his voice was low and strained as he warned.

She bit his hand after he wiped her drool; she must have been really starving.

Jintang gave a dejected "Oh".

"Fourth Uncle, I'm going out to find something to eat now."

"Wait, let me ask you first, have you found those two constables?"

“Found them. They were in a well, starving and barely alive. I gave them the leftover cornbread.”

Then the two grown men burst into tears, munching on cornbread and saying they would never give them that stuff again.

"Hmph, as long as he's not dead."

"Go and find out about Feng Dali's family now, and ask him to come over here."

He discovered that Feng Dali held a respectable position in the village and was surrounded by a group of young men.

Jintang obeyed without question and ran out again.

Huo Chang'an then looked at Sang Ning again.

Then slowly extend your hand.

She always manages to pull something out of her person, and this time she actually pulled out a kitchen knife!

Simply unbelievable.

Do you still have any food on you?

He paused for a moment when his hand touched the clothes, but eventually reached inside.

He kept his eyes down, not looking around.

His fingers trembled, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

For the first time in my life, my heart was pounding like a rabbit's.

It's like a large leather drum being vigorously struck with a "thump, thump, thump" sound.

Sang Ning was only wearing a thin linen shirt, with a half-length bra-like garment over her chest, which was also just a thin layer of fabric.

Huo Chang'an's hand swept across her and reached for her abdomen.

Of course, there was nothing there.

Only warm skin.

With the faint rise and fall of his breath.

"Huo Chang'an, does it feel good?"

A cold, eerie voice rang out.

Huo Chang'an almost jumped up!

He pulled his hand away as if it had been burned.

I was smoking too fast and accidentally bumped my chest with two small mounds.

Sang Ning shuddered and almost slapped him!

Although this body is already an adult, its development is stunted due to long-term mistreatment.

Recently, she has been feeling an itch and pain in a certain area, indicating that she is pregnant!

It hurt so much when he brushed against me!

"I, I just, looking, looking..." the boy stammered, his face turning as red as a sunset.

"Huo Chang'an!"

Sang Ning got up, his eyes blazing with fury.

But soon, it subsided quietly.

In the boy's eyes, there was no filth, only shimmering light, a shyness that seemed eager to hide, and something that was slowly blossoming.

Sang Ning's heart skipped a beat.

He was at the age when he was just beginning to experience romantic feelings.

They were husband and wife in name only.

Whatever he does is what he should do.

“A-Ning…no, Ning’er.” He changed his form of address.

"Huo Chang'an, I have no intention of becoming your husband."

Upon hearing this, the boy paused for a moment, then became even more anxious, wanting to explain that he hadn't meant it that way.

Sang Ning continued speaking.

“I’m helping you, so don’t feel guilty. The situation is special right now, and it’s even more inconvenient for other people to take care of you. Just think of this as a doctor taking care of a patient, and don’t think of me as a wife.”

"What I said before was true. When the opportunity arises, we will get a divorce."

Huo Chang'an has his own path to follow.

His eyes were always filled with hatred; he was destined to fight for his tragically deceased father and brothers, and for his family, and to endure bloodshed and turmoil.

She had no grand ambitions; she was just an ordinary person who loved food.

I love freedom, peace, and roaming freely in the countryside and nature.

She did her best to protect him as they walked together.

In the future, they will inevitably go their separate ways.

"I'll go find something to eat."

Sang Ning ignored the boy's unpleasant expression and got out of bed.

As I reached the door, I heard his hoarse voice: "If I ever stand up again..."

"This has nothing to do with your body. I have no romantic feelings for you."

Sang Ning completely extinguished his hopes.

When she went outside, she saw Jinxin and Jinxiu secretly eating something in the corner, their eyes filled with tears and their faces contorted in pain.

"Auntie, my mouth hurts... snort..." Jinxin stuck out her tongue and fanned herself with her little hand.

When Sang Ning looked, her tongue turned red.

Each of them held a small trinket in their hand.

Green chili peppers!

It's tiny and clearly wild.

"Where did this come from? You can't eat it like that."

Sang Ning quickly snatched the chili peppers and stuffed a piece of fish into each of their mouths.

The two little ones chewed haphazardly in their mouths a couple of times and then swallowed.

It's that delicious meat!

"Brother, you found... so many, and they all taste terrible!"

Jinxiu pointed at a pile of things and stuck out her tongue in disgust.

The meat was so delicious, it instantly relieved my mouth pain. But there wasn't enough, and I'm still hungry.

Sang Ning looked at the pile of things; there were wild green peppers and mountain peppers.

Great! Sichuan pepper is a wonderful thing. It can be used to make oil and sauce, so we won't have to worry about having good food to eat!

However, there were also a few poisonous wild herbs mixed in!

The fruit of the wild herb is a small, round, red bead, and Jintang must have picked it thinking it was edible.

This plant is poisonous throughout, but the fruit is the most toxic!

"Tell your aunt, have you ever eaten this before?"

Seeing Sang Ning's serious expression, the two little ones quickly admitted their mistake.

"No, no, my brother won't let us eat it. He said we have to wait for Auntie to identify it, but we're hungry..."

The voice gets quieter and quieter.

"Your brother is right, never eat random things again."

Sang Ning looked at the two children with heartache. She didn't dare to take out too much food at once, and only took out a small handful of peanuts.

"Go eat in the room, don't let the bad guys outside see you. Auntie will go find something to eat now and cook for you tonight."

Jin Xin and Jin Xiu's eyes shone like stars as they took the peanuts and ran into... the room where she and Huo Chang'an lived together.

Sanning: "..."

never mind!

Huo Chang'an can think whatever he wants; the right to interpret it belongs to her.

Sang Ning looked around, but no one else was there; only the old lady was leaning against the bed picking wild vegetables.

"They've all gone to find something to eat together. You're not feeling well, so don't push yourself. You still have hands and feet!"

"The fourth brother didn't make a sound either, didn't even call out."

"Mom will make you some vegetable soup to drink first."

The old lady started to get out of bed as she spoke.

Sang Ning quickly stopped her.

"I'm fine, just a little anemic. Mom, you just woke up, don't do this, go and rest."

After a brief struggle, the old lady eventually lay back down on the bed.

Lu Shishen's medical skills are really good; Sang Ning plans to make another deal with him.

Just as I was thinking that, I heard his voice outside.

There was also Xiao Jintang's voice trying to stop them: "Don't go in yet, let me ask my fourth uncle first."
