ghost?
There really isn't one, but there is a fortune teller.
Xu Nian chuckled softly, but the person opposite her overheard her and looked up at her.
Xu Nian felt a little nervous and quickly lowered her head to talk to her two younger brothers.
Are you hungry?
"Hungry……"
It's been six or seven hours since the two kids had their last meal, and now their tummy is empty and flat again, making noises from time to time.
They had been starving for a long time, and these two steamed buns wouldn't make them gain weight again. Their faces were thin and sallow, and with their appearance, they looked like poor children who hadn't eaten for seven or eight days.
The soldiers felt a little sorry for them, so they pooled their resources and managed to gather two pieces of naan to share with them.
Xu Nian stared at the two pieces of naan bread that were probably big enough to pry off her teeth, and frowned. "Is this all you usually eat?"
"Sigh, how could that be? This is already considered good." One of the soldiers sighed. "This time, the higher-ups didn't skimp on the portions. At least we brothers can have a piece of naan. Before, we were so hungry we just ate grass by the roadside..."
Before she could finish speaking, she was stopped by a sharp glare from Gu Zhan.
"Know what you should say and what you shouldn't say."
"Yes, yes, yes..."
Xu Nian didn't pay attention to that point. She just looked at the villagers, who were all suffering from famine and were as thin as paper.
That absolutely won't do.
Since she came here to experience the tribulations, she was definitely not here to enjoy a life of leisure. Although these people... in short, she absolutely could not sit idly by and wait for her death.
Thinking about it, she stood up, and Da Bao and Er Bao immediately looked at her, "Big sister, what are you going to do?"
"Looking for food."
-
After walking for half an incense stick's time, Yu Mi searched through her spatial storage, but found nothing that could be taken out in this desolate wilderness. After thinking it over, she finally took out a lighter that looked like a tinderbox and a few talismans.
After all, this deep mountain forest is cold and dark; you can't expect to find anything here.
She held the tinderbox and slowly waved it around, idly interacting with the other characters on the screen.
[Host...stop, stop, stop...! Look at what's on your right!]
Suddenly, a comment caught her attention, and she held up her tinderbox to her right.
Hey!
Isn't this an elm seed?!
Xu Nian was instantly delighted. People in the Great Xuan era did not recognize elm seeds, so even though they grew luxuriantly in this desolate wilderness, no one dared to eat them.
But she was different.
She not only knows how to make them, but also how to eat them. Back when she was a child, when her master was free-range and raised her fellow disciples, she often used elm seeds to make dough and baked flatbreads.
Without further ado, I picked quite a few.
It was dark at night, and the light from the tinderbox was too weak. The elm seeds were scattered here and there. She had only been picking them for a short while when she discovered something important.
She seems to be lost...
These days, it's really hard to be a savior.
Xu Nian stared at the handful of elm seeds and tinder in her arms, sighed softly, and was about to enter her personal space to get a compass when she saw the comment section flooded with exclamation marks again.
[Host!!! Look behind!!! Behind!!!]
[Oh my god!!! Look what's behind!]
Xu Nian was taken aback, thinking she had encountered something good again. She turned around, grabbed a tinderbox, and shone it in front of her. The faint light instantly illuminated the things in front of her.
Several ferocious wolves, their backs arched, were staring at her prey with bared teeth, their mouths already drooling.
"..."
Xu Nian closed her eyes, trying her best to slow down her movements. She pulled out a few talismans from her waist and took a half step back.
The wolves followed her half a step.
Her gaze never wavered for a moment. She held her breath and focused intently until she finished drawing the talisman's base. Then, taking advantage of the moment when he was not paying attention, she raised the yellow talismans and shouted loudly, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Fire, come!"
at the same time--
Several wolves lunged forward with their jaws wide open, but fortunately, the talismans instantly burst into flames, engulfing the wolves in scorching heat.
"Thump—"
"Thump—"
...
One after another, the wolves fell, each one burning and rolling on the ground, whimpering. After a while, they fell silent.
[Holy crap, did I enter the wrong live stream?!]
[Last time it was rain, this time it's fire. Is the streamer planning to show us all five elements?]
[I have to say, but he's... just too handsome!]
Xu Nian breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the number of viewers in the live stream had exceeded 20,000, and the amount of silver coins donated had reached 20 taels.
That's great... everything's good except for not being able to spend it.
She smiled sheepishly and thanked everyone, "Thank you for your attention, everyone. New members who like the streamer, please follow! While we're having fun, let's still uphold science and oppose superstition, okay?"
be opposed to?
Feudal superstition?
Who on earth just stirred up trouble and started this fire?!
Suddenly, Xu Nian, who had just recovered a lot of spiritual power, heard footsteps coming from behind her. The sound was very faint, as if someone who knew martial arts was deliberately concealing their footsteps so that she wouldn't hear them.
She tensed up instantly, her heart pounding like a drum.
The next second, the gleaming blade of the sword grazed past her ear, the force of the gust of wind being so great that it sliced her ear open vertically.
Xu Nian fell to the ground, scattering elm seeds everywhere. She looked at the newcomer in a panic, utterly astonished, "General...?"
Gu Zhan frowned, and Chen Sheng questioned, "Why didn't you dodge?"
