During my escape from famine, I survived by eavesdropping on the whispers of food.

"Sigh~"

As the pain struck, Qin Shuangshuang couldn't help but gasp and groan. A tingling, stinging sensation came from the back of her head. She raised her hand to touch it and found it covered in sweet-smelling blood.

It felt as if a thousand-pound boulder was weighing down on my eyelids. When I opened them, I saw a sharp stone about to hit me. Instinctively, I rolled to the side and barely dodged it.

The stone slammed into the ground, creating a crater in the damp earth after the rain. Qin Shuangshuang broke out in a cold sweat, unable to imagine what it would have been like if it had hit her head.

"That worthless wretch still has the strength to dodge!"

The old man with the slouching leg had a fierce look in his eyes, which were full of greed and desire. A scar that stretched from his eye to the corner of his mouth looked extremely terrifying.

He picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it at Qin Shuangshuang's head, but was caught by a child around the waist in the next moment.

"Don't you dare bully Big Sister!"

At the same time, Zhou, who had just returned, scattered wild vegetables on the ground. He threw himself on Qin Shuangshuang without a care, his eyes filled with tears. When he looked back, his tone was full of hatred, and his voice was sharp and piercing.

"Even tigers don't eat their cubs, but this is your own granddaughter! How could you be so heartless as to do that?"

Qin Shuangshuang took a slight breath, her head throbbing as more than a decade of memories flooded her mind.

She was originally a food blogger, but during her first live-streaming sales event, a pressure cooker exploded, and she was transported into the body of Qin Shuangshuang, a peasant girl with the same name as her during a famine.

Qin Shuangshuang was so hungry that she was dizzy and hallucinating. She gently raised her fingers and counted them one by one.

Fried chicken, milk tea, snail rice noodles, Colonel Sanders... Goodbye forever!

"Hmph, killing a girl is one thing, but do you want your in-laws to starve to death here?"

In times of famine, it was common for people to exchange children for food. All the food around Qin Family Village had been dug up and nothing grew. The whole family fled to different places and became refugees. Their food was stolen by other refugees on the way, and they had been starving for two whole days.

When Qin Shuangshuang's grandfather saw her faint, he thought he might as well kill her and eat her meat, as a contribution to the family. Unexpectedly, Qin Shuangshuang "came back to life" and woke up with a very sour face.

“Dad is right. Every extra mouth we have means two less days of life. Your daughter is so obedient, she will surely understand our good intentions.”

The speaker was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family; she had slanted eyes and high cheekbones, and looked like someone not to be trifled with.

"You wouldn't agree to sell her before, but now look how painful her death was, tsk tsk."

Old Qin tossed aside eight-year-old Qin Hao, intending to use the same move to drag Zhou Shi away, but he was too weak from hunger and Zhou Shi was too protective of her daughter to move her for the time being.

Zhou's hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in mud, making her look no different from a female ghost. Her bloodshot eyes stared intently at Old Qin, scaring him so much that he took two steps back.

As the two were locked in a stalemate, Qin Shuangshuang suddenly heard a burst of chattering sounds surrounding her.

"These idiots will probably starve to death without even realizing we're edible. Once they're dead and their corpses become nutrients, our growth will be even more vigorous and impressive."

"A bunch of idiots. Our Arisaema contains poison, but it's not that we can't eat it. As long as we cook it with plantain, we can kill the toxins. Not only will we not be poisoned, but it will also be very good for our health."

"Hey, why are you saying so much? These stupid people wouldn't understand. Just thinking about those guys who were dizzy and vomiting after eating last night, and who were drooling like crazy in their sleep, makes me want to laugh, hahaha, let's see if they dare to eat us again!"

"Luckily we had toxins in our bodies to save our lives, otherwise what would we have done if we had been eaten like Lao Jiu last night? Waaaaah, when we vomited it out, all that was left was crumbs."

Qin Shuangshuang frowned more and more deeply. She looked around and saw that no one was speaking. Based on the meaning of their words and the source of the voices, she could tell that the grass under the tree next to her was talking!

She time-traveled and even awakened superpowers?

The incessant chatter from over there, coupled with Old Qin and Old Lady Qin's angry shouts, was driving her crazy.

Tell the refugees not to bother looking for food anymore; everything's in such a mess, they should eat it while it's hot.

"Ah! Ah!"

Qin Shuangshuang's brain couldn't process so much information in such a short time, and she was in excruciating pain. In desperation, she screamed and tried to vent her frustration.

This shout startled everyone present, and Old Qin looked at Qin Shuangshuang with a look of astonishment, a hint of fear in his eyes.

He thought to himself that this brat might have been provoked and actually come back to life.

It was Old Lady Qin who reacted first, slapping Qin Shuangshuang across the face, cursing with disgust, spitting on Qin Shuangshuang's face, and even smelling the foul odor.

"You shameless hussy, what are you shouting for? Do you want to lure people here to eat your flesh and drink your blood? You were born with the look of a shameless hussy who seduces men, just like your vixen mother."

"I've raised you for so many years, feeding you and taking care of your every need, all thanks to my Qin family. Now that it's your turn to repay the favor, you refuse to do so. I might as well have kept you in the latrine back then and raised a heartless wretch like you. Bah!"

Qin Shuangshuang was stunned by the slap, but the anger in her heart also restored some color to her face, and she was able to muster her strength.

Her father was the second oldest son. He was deceived by filial piety and concealed his age to join the army in place of his brother for seven years. He has been missing ever since, and his fate is unknown.

Her mother was raising three children and had to work like a slave for those two old men. The few coins she earned from embroidery were all taken away, and she could only live by the whims of the other families, wearing tattered clothes that they didn't want.

Qin Shuangshuang charged at Qin Laotai with all her might, sending her flying and crashing into a tree. The pain was so intense that Qin Laotai felt her internal organs churning, and she couldn't straighten up or speak.

"My parents treated you well out of loyalty and filial piety, but you two shameless people really think you're local emperors, daring to enjoy their support. You wild pheasants from the mountains are really bold and daring. If I don't pluck your feathers today, I'm not Qin Shuangshuang!"

As he spoke, he aimed at Old Qin's head again, and the two began to fight on the ground. While the crowd was trying to break up the fight, Qin Hao kicked Old Qin twice more.

"A bat with chicken feathers tied to its body has forgotten what kind of bird it is. Its beak has been castrated for years, it's become so pungent and stinky!"

"You two are disrespectful to your elders, you love to bully others, right? You want to exchange children to eat each other, right? I'll let you bully me."

Qin Shuangshuang straddled Old Qin's back, cursing and slapping him repeatedly, knocking out several of his already weak teeth. It was unclear where she got the strength from, but even ten oxen couldn't pull her off.

A moment later, they all had messy hair and collapsed to the ground, too exhausted to even curse.

Qin Shuangshuang gritted her teeth and used the last bit of strength in her body to rush to the tree like a hunting dog. Without making a move, she crawled down and quickly chewed a mouthful of grass.

Zhou was too late to stop her; only one thought remained in her mind.

Oh no, has this child really gone mad?!
