Ever since Xu Nian was called a half-immortal, the treatment she received has changed dramatically.

In the past, if she made a sound, she would either be stared at with lustful eyes by men or cursed with resentment by women. But now, as long as she clicks her tongue, most of the villagers will look over with tense expressions.

This is a demigod! If something happens to him, wouldn't the whole village be wiped out?

[Haha, I'm dying of laughter! These villagers are such cowards!]

I'd chicken out too; this guy's a demigod!

[The host will perform another spell.]

Xu Nian shrugged helplessly, bent down to touch Da Bao and Er Bao's foreheads, and found that although they were no longer burning hot, they were still hot, so she took out two more bottles of medicine and stuffed them over their foreheads.

Da Bao sucked the syrup with all his might, and Er Bao, having mustered the energy, followed his brother's example and took his medicine too.

Seeing that Xu Nian was no longer resting, the village chief strode over and asked, "Can we set off now?"

In the past, he would have already shouted for everyone to get up, but now that there was this big shot in the team, he had to back down.

Wang Jinmei stared at Xu Nian and the village chief chatting and laughing, feeling even more annoyed. She muttered to herself, "Look at that foxy charm of hers, it's really in her bones!"

With Xu Nian's consent, the group fled the famine once again.

This time, they were extremely lucky and came to a fairly intact village, where even the houses and buildings had not collapsed much.

What's even more surprising is that there's a water source flowing on the side, which is a delightful surprise.

Wow, this environment feels great, much better than before.

Xu Nian led the two children into the house, but heard a loud bang from the side.

"Hey you, we moved into this house first, what are you doing here?"

The speaker was none other than Wang Jinmei, who was standing in front of the house, pointing and gesturing inside with obvious dissatisfaction on her face.

Xu Nian looked over and saw a girl lying in the room, with a swaying silver hairpin on her head. It wasn't fancy, but it was simple and clean. She was looking out with her chin up.

Cuiqing's expression was languid, but she spoke without hesitation, "What do you mean 'yours' and 'mine'? I came in first, so this room is mine. Are you going to try and take it? How rude!"

Seeing her like this, Wang Jinmei was instantly enraged. She ripped open the half-closed door and went inside to drag her out.

"Oh no! Murder! Come quick!"

Cuiqing had never seen such vulgarity from a country woman before, and she was immediately horrified, clinging to the headboard and refusing to let go.

For a time, the place was extremely noisy.

Xu Nian stared at it for a while, then found it really boring and looked away.

[Wow, this girl is actually fighting with that shrew!]

She doesn't look like a child from a poor family, so why would she be fleeing famine?

Xu Nian also had the same question in her mind. Cui Qing spoke flamboyantly and had a rosy complexion, so she obviously hadn't suffered much.

"I am a member of the Minister's mansion, how dare you touch me?"

Seeing that Wang Jinmei was about to hit someone, Cuiqing hurriedly shouted, looking quite like a fox borrowing the tiger's power.

Wang Jinmei didn't care about any of that. She raised her hand to push her away, and the two women got entangled, attracting the attention of those around them.

"Alright, let's go somewhere else."

The village chief blushed deeply at the probing gaze and pulled Wang Jinmei toward a nearby house.

Even if Wang Jinmei was unwilling, she stopped.

The Ministry of Personnel?

Xu Nian kept a close eye on things and glanced at Cuiqing a few more times, thinking that she might just be a maid or something, otherwise, the dignified Minister's mansion should not have fallen to the point of fleeing famine.

Once everyone was settled, the once quiet house instantly became much more lively.

"Mom, there's a river here, can we go play there?"

A few mischievous children gathered together, their dry little faces full of anticipation.

"Go ahead, but be careful not to fall."

With their parents' permission, the children dashed off to the riverbank in an instant.

Xu Nian casually cast a spell, but didn't notice anything unusual around her, so she let the group of children go their own way.

However, a moment later, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the other side.

"Fish, it's a fish!"

Several children were playing by the river when they spotted some big fish and became extremely excited.

Including the past few days, the best thing they had eaten was the pancakes made by Xu Nian. When had they ever had a chance to taste meat?

But now there seem to be many fish in this river!

"fish?"

Upon hearing this, the villagers were all unsettled and came to investigate.

And indeed, many fish swam in the river, each one looking plump and fresh.

"Let's catch some fish and eat!"

The children excitedly grabbed broken pieces of wood and went straight into the water to catch fish, eager to have a good meal.

Before long, they returned to the house, hopping and skipping, carrying several fish.

"Quickly, start a fire and roast this fish. I haven't had meat for many days."

The villagers watched the fish with longing eyes and spontaneously started a fire to grill it.

"Cough cough."

Meanwhile, Xu Nian was taking good care of the two children, feeding them water from time to time.

The older child recovered first, but the younger child is still a bit confused and needs to be watched over constantly.

The villagers couldn't wait to grill the fish. As soon as the fish was hot, they put it directly into their mouths, and when they bit into it, they could still taste the undercooked parts.

"Eat up, everyone!"

Because there were quite a few fish, almost everyone got some fish, and everyone ate heartily and leisurely.

"Half-immortal, you'd like some too."

Kind villagers remembered Xu Nian and brought her some fish.

"It's okay."

Xu Nian held the two babies in her arms, secretly cast a cooling spell, and replied with a smile, "Don't worry about me, you two eat more."

As for meat, she has plenty of fast food in her space, so she won't miss out on this one bite.

Seeing this, the villagers had no choice but to give up and give the fish to other children.

"Hmph, what are you pretending for?"

Wang Jinmei, as usual, made a few disparaging remarks about Xu Nian, while she herself ate with gusto.

After eating the fish, everyone felt much stronger, and some even started joking around, making the atmosphere less oppressive.

Sigh, seeing them so happy eating fish makes me so glad I never waste food again.

Yes, there are so many people starving in places we can't see.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep, preparing to set off the next morning.

The next day.

Xu Nian was awakened by the intense sunlight and immediately began to check on Da Bao and Er Bao.

The two children's fevers finally subsided, and they no longer looked as pale and weak as before, which relieved Xu Nian.

Just as Xu Nian was about to set off, the scene before her eyes shocked her greatly.

Almost half of the villagers collapsed to the ground, suffering from diarrhea and vomiting.

Some even have glazed eyes, crooked gazes, and unclear consciousness.

"What on earth is going on?"
