Transmigrated to Famine Year: Supermarket Owner at Five and a Half

Song Tantian transmigrated to ancient times, becoming a five-and-a-half-year-old little sprout. In a chaotic, famine-stricken world, surrounded by danger, she immediately faced the immense change o...

Chapter 101 Being Watched

At the end of March, Song Tantan and several other girls went to pick wild vegetables. That day, she felt very uneasy, as if a pair of eyes in the forest were watching her like venomous snakes, or more precisely, watching their group.

But every time she looked back, she found nothing unusual. It all seemed like her imagination. But she knew it wasn't an illusion. They were really being watched by something. Could it be that a large, ferocious beast had reappeared in the mountains after two years of silence?

After returning home, she told Ye Moxun about it and kept asking him if the system had given any warnings. "Did the system really not give any warnings? That's so strange. I clearly sensed danger. Was it a person or a wild beast that was targeting us? What did that thing want to do?"

While the system was pretending to be dead, Ye Mo couldn't get any information out of it. However, he believed that Song Tantan wouldn't say those things for no reason; she must have sensed something was wrong and felt uneasy.

"Otherwise, we should tell everyone in the village not to go into the mountains for the next few days, and wait until this period is over before making any decisions," Ye Moxun suggested.

“But who would believe me if I said there was danger in the mountains without any evidence? I can’t exactly lie and say I encountered a wild animal.” That’s what she said, but she was actually already considering making up stories to stop the villagers from going into the mountains.

The original plan was for Song Zhuiyan and Zhong Qingyi to discuss with Lin Fuhai the possibility of keeping everyone out of the mountains for the next few days. However, before they could even speak, thunder started to rumble in the sky, indicating that heavy rain was imminent. This proved to be a great help, as they no longer needed to find reasons to persuade anyone to stay away from the mountains due to the rain.

I hope this rain lasts for a few more days.

It seemed that God heard her prayers, for the rain lasted for three days. Even after three days, the rain had lessened, but there was still thunder and lightning.

After staying at home for three whole days, Song Tantan's anxiety did not subside. On the contrary, her eyelids twitched particularly badly. "I have a feeling that something big is going to happen. I won't have any peace of mind until this is resolved."

"Give me a straight answer! How can you solve this if you don't have a clue?" Despite the recent rain, Ye Moxun, as always, brought Taishan over for a visit, determined to beg her for all sorts of delicious food.

Everything has been fine these past few days, except that Song Tantan keeps nagging, which is making Ye Moxun's head buzz and is extremely annoying.

"Damn system! Is your damn system dead? Why aren't you giving me any hints?" Song Tantan frowned and stared at him for a long time.

"Looking at me won't help, the system is dead." Ye Moxun frowned. Rainy days are inherently depressing, and Song Tantan kept saying there was danger, which made him feel inexplicably panicked, but the system just wouldn't say a word, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Ye Moxun was about to leave with Taishan, the system suddenly spoke up weakly, "Ahem, host... Zhuyu and Liumei are in danger, do you want to go and check on them?"

Who were those two people? Ye Moxun couldn't recall having them in the village for a moment.

But Song Tantan remembered, "They were the two courtesans who used to be the most beautiful in the brothel. Oh, stop worrying about who they are, hurry up and see what's going on."

After saying that, he grabbed Ye Moxun and ran outside. Taishan was very vigilant. Seeing Ye Moxun stagger a few steps after being pulled, he barked at Song Tantan in dissatisfaction, "Woof."

“You still know how to say ‘woof’? I thought you could only howl,” Song Tantan gently patted its head with its chubby little hand as a warning. “Do you know who I am? I am your real owner. Your mother is from my family.”

"Woo woo..." Taishan roared a few more times, but his momentum was weaker. This guy could understand people's speech. Perhaps he really was as Ye Moxun said, very smart.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'm going out to check on Zhuyu and the others." Song Tantan didn't know if her aunt heard her, she didn't care about anything else, she was in a hurry to save people, she called out but didn't hear a response, so she went straight out the door.

Braving the light rain, the two hurried to Liu Mei and Zhu Yu's house, only to find the gate to the courtyard tightly closed and the walls too high for them to see inside.

That's right. As everyone's brick-making skills improved, they replaced their fences with brick walls whenever they had free time. The walls were also topped with many barbs made of wood, making it impossible for thieves to get in unless they had martial arts skills and were very good at light footwork.

"Kick the door open? Or knock?" Song Tantan asked.

"Finally, we went in without anyone noticing, and that's how we found out what was happening inside." At this point, Ye Moxun realized what was going on and asked the system what the situation was.

This time, the system didn't play dead. It told him that there were three big men inside, who were about to humiliate Liu Mei and Zhu Yu. However, they were probably starving. The two men tied Liu Mei and Zhu Yu to the bed, while the three men prepared food to eat.

"How did they get in? Did they knock on the door, and then Liu Mei or Zhu Yu opened it?" Otherwise, how do you explain that the door was perfectly fine, without any signs of damage?

"Those three know kung fu; they jumped over the wall to get in. Be careful; they're not good people." The system was very helpful this time, even knowing that the three were skilled in kung fu.

Whether someone is a good person or not, it's obvious to anyone with a brain.

System: "..." It was just trying to be helpful, is it necessary to argue back?

"Taishan, go in and take a look," Ye Moxun said in a low voice.

"How else would it get in..." Before Song Tantan could finish speaking, Taishan ran to the wall and easily leaped into the yard.

No, the wall was nearly two meters high, and it jumped over it in one go. Its jumping ability is amazing!

"Woo-woo... Awoo." Soon after, Taishan's roar could be heard coming from the courtyard.

"Oh no, Mount Tai is in danger! Quickly kick the door open and get in!" Ye Moxun's eyes flashed with anxiety as he kicked the door, but it didn't budge.

"Get out of the way, let me break in." Song Tantan took out an axe from his spatial storage and chopped at the door more than a dozen times. The whole process took less than sixty seconds, and the door was smashed open. The two rushed in.

Upon seeing the scene inside, the two were stunned. They saw a burly man with a thick beard lying on the ground, his shoulder bitten by Taishan, seemingly lifeless. Taishan was kneeling on the ground, looking like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Two others stood in front of the main room. One was a tall, thin middle-aged man holding a large knife, looking at them with a sinister gaze. The other was a tall, strong young man holding a knife in both hands, looking fierce and ready to chop off Taishan's head.

"So these are the wolves you two little brats raised. We almost fell for your trick. You've come at the perfect time. Today, I'll take care of you both and throw you into the mountains to feed the wolves." The tall, thin middle-aged man sneered sinisterly, his gaze towards Song Tantan filled with lewdness.

Song Tantan didn't waste any words. Before the other person finished speaking, she had already raised her axe and swung it at them, but the other person blocked it. When she retreated, she staggered and her hand went numb.

I didn't expect the opponent to be so skilled in martial arts. It seems they are someone who has been around in the martial arts world. I can't be careless.

The tall, thin middle-aged man was also taken aback, clearly not expecting that a child under ten years old would have such good skills, able to withstand an attack that he had used eighty percent of his strength. He wondered how skilled the young boy beside him was. It seemed he had to finish the fight quickly, or it would be troublesome if he attracted the other villagers.

The next moment, powder flew through the air. It turned out that the tall, thin middle-aged man and Song Tantan were spraying the medicine at each other. As a result, both of them felt a blur before their eyes, their bodies went limp, and they both fell to the ground.

"Damn it, Ye Moxun, this bastard is playing dirty tricks on me, quickly think of a way to deal with him." Song Tantan collapsed weakly in the yard.
