Starve!!
K-18

In a more relaxed atmosphere, they walked until dark.

As there were no trees nearby and everything was yellow ground, everyone chose to spend the night in the valley. The terrain here is low, and a little cooler. There were rocks opening around him, making him look very quiet.

Eldest Brother Ning brought his two sons to look for some withered branches to cook.

The women started to bring out food to share. Children find some flat rocks and climb to play when they feel cooler.

!!

It was the same for other families not far away, but many of them ran out of food and starved.

Ning Yue secretly gave milk to the two children. After hiding behind rocks and changing their diapers, she wiped their bodies with a wet towel, fearing they felt uncomfortable.

Then, Lady He came and took the children from her. “I'll take them. Hurry and rest.”

“Thank you, Mom!” Ning Yue smiled. It was good that her mother loved her.

Madam He reprimanded, “No need to thank each other.”

As he spoke, he began to tease the children. Looking at the cute and innocent babies, she loved them from the bottom of her heart. Moreover, Xiaobao and Xiaobei were very obedient children. They don't cry or make a scene. Anyone who sees them will love it.

A pair of younger brothers talked about the future as they sat on the rocks. They all have their own dreams.

Some want to do business and some want to be officials. Some people want to be musicians too. Their eyes sparkled as they spoke, laughed and joked.

With a smile on her lips, Ning Yue passed by her younger brother and went to Old Master Ning's side. He was discussing the excess food and water with Old Lady Ning and her two sons and daughter-in-law.

Ning Guang was not far away, accompanying Madam He to take care of the children.

“Daddy, there is nothing to eat along the way, and we have not seen a drop of water. If this continues, huh.” Ning Dalang shook his head and sighed.

Madame Qu is sewing. Children's clothes and shoes are torn. He fixes it when he has time. She frowned when she heard her husband's words.

Third Brother Ning glanced at the night sky. The stars flickered, and he could not help feeling uneasy. “Tomorrow will be a sunny day again. God, do you still want us to live?

Last time it rained, it was half a month ago. It was just a small drizzle, and the ground had dried up before it got wet.

It was said that the Imperial Court had even hired a Great Magus to do something for the sake of rain, but it was in vain.

Two-thirds of the entire Tianyun Kingdom was experiencing a drought, but it was not serious. Unfortunately, the Ning Family Village was in a serious area.

Ning Yue listened in silence and was also anxious. He had a stack of supplies, but he could not think of a reason to bring it out to save everyone. He cannot be stupid and kind. He must think of his own safety. If he were to expose himself, he would attract trouble.

Third Aunt Qi, who was cooking the porridge, brought her over. The porridge is watery and only tastes a little like rice. He's sighing. “No more water for porridge tomorrow morning.”

Logically speaking, water is the most precious thing. Cooking porridge uses too much water and should be used to cook rice. However, if they were to cook rice, many people could eat half of the rice and noodles in a day, and this meant it was easier for them to starve to death.

They could only exchange food like this, and they could only eat up to half full each time.

Old Master Ning looked like he was already a few years old. He sat on the ground and sighed.

Ning Yue walked to the wagon without batting an eye. He picked up an empty water bag and quietly drank a little. Not much, just enough to cook porridge for tomorrow morning.

“Yueyue, what are you doing?” Old Madam Ning watched and walked over to ask Ning Yue.

“Grandma, this is the water I keep for myself. I put it in a water bag. Everyone can eat porridge tomorrow morning.” Ning Yue found an excuse.

Porridge not only fills their stomachs, but also quenches thirst.

Old Madam Ning picked up the water bag and shuffled it. There is water again. His heart ached as he grabbed Ning Yue's hand. “Stupid girl, why are you so selfless? You have to keep it to yourself. You still have two little kids. You can't let them starve.”

At this moment, Eldest Brother Ning and the others also heard him. They hurriedly came and poured the water back into the small bamboo tube that Ning Yue had brought with her.

Madam Qu and Madam Qi looked at each other and returned the favor to Ning Yue.

Ning Yue felt very warm in her heart. This family member was very kind to her, and everyone was nice.

Ning Yue's words touched everyone. Old Madam Ning did not insist anymore. He nodded and said, My “Yueyue is a blessed child. We all thank you.”

Ning Yue scratched her head in embarrassment and laughed.

He would definitely be everyone's lucky star. He'll save more people.

At this moment, a crying voice sounded. An elderly woman was walking with a seven or eight year old child. As soon as he came, he sat on the ground and cried, “Third Brother, I really have no choice. If this continues, my Xiao Yu will die of thirst! We have no water at all, wuwuwu.”.

!!

This old woman was the wife of one of Old Master Ning's cousins, Lady Liu.

Old Master Ning's cousin had a good relationship with her when she was alive, but she died of an illness when she was young. Before he died, he begged Old Master Ning to help the Liu family.

This treatment lasted decades.

Now, Liu's grandson, Xiao Yu, was already eight years old. His son and son-in-law were still around, but they were basically lazy. Before the dry season, they would go to Old Master Ning from time to time to borrow money and food.

Now he's here to borrow some water.

Old Master Ning knew that his family was almost out of water. How could he have water for Old Madam Liu at this time?

“Sister-in-law, my family doesn't have much water left ..” Old Lady Ning said. She knew that her husband was soft-hearted and cared about brotherhood.

Hearing this, Old Madam Liu immediately beat her chest and stomped her feet. She cried sadly and did not forget to pull Xiao Yu. “My grandchildren, what should we do? If your grandfather finds out that you will die of thirst, he will not be able to rest in peace in heaven!”

This made Old Master Ning's expression change. After a while, he brought a water bag and poured a bowl for Old Madam Liu. “This water is for cooking tomorrow. This is the last part. We don't know how to get through tomorrow.”

Old Madam Liu stood up with water and said with a smile, “Thank you, Third Brother. Huh, if it wasn't for me really having no choice, I wouldn't trouble you!”

With that, he left with his grandson.

Madam Qi could not help feeling angry. “He likes to come to our house to take advantage of us. Which family has no way? He treated our house as a warehouse! How shameless!”

Old Master Ning glanced at Madam Qi. Even though his words were unpleasant, it was the truth.

Everyone ate the porridge in silence. After a few mouthfuls of dry food, they each found some clothes and a suitable patch of soil to put it to prepare for sleep.

At this moment, Ning Tian walked over. He glanced at Ning Yue and her family who were preparing to rest. With a smile on her face, she crouched down beside him and handed a small piece of preserved meat to Ning Yue. “Yueyue, we give water and food you give us to some families who do not have food. Do you still have leftovers? I still have some left. I'll bring it to you.”

Ning Yue held a small piece of preserved meat in her hand. Feels greasy. He could imagine the salty aroma and the harsh texture. This small piece of preserved meat was extremely precious, but Ning Tian had brought it to him.

He knew that the chief's family was also a grateful person.

“I eat at home. Thats enough. Thank you, Uncle Tian.” Ning Yue nodded.

“Alright, great if you've eaten. Go to bed.” Ning Tian did not say anything more and got up to go back.

Madam He bowed and could already smell the flesh. It's good to eat something like this.

However, Ning Yue did not take it out and ate it now. He'll put it in the porridge tomorrow morning so everyone can eat it. Moreover, he could secretly take some from outer space and mix it up.

That night was a little cold. Ning Yue slept well and woke up the next morning. He volunteered to cook the porridge.

The others went looking for supplies while persuading the children. No one paid much attention to Ning Yue. Ning Yue took the water from the room and poured it into the pot. He added rice and cooked it more thickly. He cut out the preserved meat that Ning Tian had brought yesterday and the preserved meat that he had picked up from space. He mixed it into the porridge to cook. A fragrance wafted out, and everyone could not help but swallow it.

After cooking the porridge, Ning Yue scooped the bowl for everyone. Once the porridge was in his hands, everyone realized that the porridge was much thicker today. There were grains of white rice mixed into one, and there was also minced meat!!

Everyone was shocked, but they did not ask Ning Yue because Ning Tian went to look for her last night and gave her something. Everyone has seen it. It might be the preserved meat and rice that Ning Tian had given her, even though they did not know where she got it from.

Ning Yue took out a bigger bowl and filled it to the brim. He covered it with a cloth and went to Ning Bai's place.

“Village Head, eat.” Ning Yue handed the bowl to Ning Bai.
