"It's so stupid, it's so cold..."

Zhong Ran breathed hot air into his hands, murmured and pushed open the broken door, his steps pausing slightly.

Alert that there was someone inside, but not sensing any danger, he went straight in.

She stepped on something under her feet, and she staggered. Then she let out a soft hum, and she immediately blew the torch and lit the torch, and saw everything in the broken house clearly.

The circle against the wall was full of people, all disheveled and in low spirits. They were the latest batch of refugees from Yuncheng who had fled famine.

Her intrusion did not cause people to panic. Instead, they stared at the torch in her hand as if they had not seen her.

On a windy and snowy night, what you need most is a fire source.

"Squat where you are and don't come over!" Zhong Ran noticed that someone among them wanted to step forward to grab the torch in her hand, and immediately scolded them coldly, while showing the big knife on his waist.

Under the red light of the torch, the blade reflected a dangerous cold light.

The crowd immediately became audibly quiet.

"I seemed to have stepped on you just now, does it hurt?" Zhong Ran knelt down and asked, meeting a pair of clear eyes, she was filled with praise.

What a pair of beautiful eyes.

This man's whole body was wrapped from head to toe in a gray cloth that looked like a sheet, with only a pair of beautiful, clear eyes and half of his delicate and straight nose exposed.

She curled up pitifully into a ball, like a frightened white rabbit. She must be a young girl.

A smile appeared on Zhong Ran's lips, and his voice became gentler. He held up the torch with one hand and touched his leg with the other hand and asked, "Don't be afraid, little sister. If it hurts, just tell me, I have medicine on me."

His beautiful black and white eyes were stunned for a moment, and then he lowered his eyelashes. The firelight hit his exposed facial skin, revealing a jade-like white.

Zhong Ran admired in his heart, he is such a beautiful person, he wonders which stinky man he will be able to take advantage of when he grows up.

He didn't speak, but the person next to him spoke, "Thank you madam for your concern, my mistress is fine." It was an elderly woman, wearing a gray gown, with a haggard and tired face. She hugged her mistress next to her as she spoke. Entering the arms, there is some vigilance.

Zhong Ran smiled and hummed before getting up. He turned around and scanned the people in the corner. The more they looked, the more they looked like zombies. Each one looked like they were dying.

He handed the torch to the woman who just spoke, "You take it first, and I'll light a fire."

The firelight completely lit up the dilapidated house and shone on everyone's face. Finally, their faces were no longer dull, but smiled.

If you have fire, you won't be afraid of the cold.

Zhong Ran placed a large iron pot on the fire, filled it with snow, and when he came back again, he held a big bleating goat in his hand.

People finally stopped being silent and began to talk.

"What a big sheep. Where did you get it?"

"I haven't eaten meat in two years, and I have long forgotten what mutton tastes like."

"Why did she lead the sheep in here? Maybe she was afraid that they were freezing outside."

……

Zhong Ran picked up a big knife and chopped off the sheep's head with one blow. Blood sprayed out the door. The people present were stunned and couldn't react for a while. Some children were frightened and cried on the spot, and adults hurriedly comforted them.

Wiping the blood on the knife with wool, she casually asked a few women to help her clean up the dead sheep. The meaning was obvious.

Drink mutton stew soup.

Soon a large pot of mutton soup was simmered, and the aroma of meat filled the air. The adults were afraid of Zhong Ran and did not dare to step forward. A few courageous children came to the iron pot and sniffed the meat in the iron pot with their little noses. The taste makes your mouth water.

"It smells so good, the meat tastes so good!"

The little girl who spoke was only four or five years old. Although she was thin, she had bright eyes. She was not afraid of Zhong Ran at all. She even talked to Zhong Ran and asked her where she got the big sheep.

The little girl's father was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the little girl away, fearing that his daughter would accidentally offend the murderer in front of him. This man could chop off the heads of living creatures without blinking an eye.

Zhong Ran slashed the sheep with his knife not to show off, but to frighten them, fearing that they would rush forward to grab the mutton if they were hungry.

There were at least fifty or sixty of them. If there was a fight and the situation was difficult to control, she would be able to strike first.

No, look at how honest they are, holding their own bowls and sitting obediently to share a bowl of mutton soup equally.

Zhong Ran reached out and pinched the little girl's face. She smiled gently. Feeling her kindness, the little girl broke away from her father's hand and got into Zhong Ran's arms. Zhong Ran laughed happily.

"Haha, little sister, you are really not afraid of food at all. Bring your bowl and fill it for you first."

The little girl's father hurriedly handed over the bowl. Zhong Ran filled a bowl and handed it to the little girl's father. He also said, "Slow down, be careful of scalding. There will still be some left after eating."

Immediately, some people couldn't sit still and stretched out their bowls to serve. Zhong Ran tapped the iron pot with a spoon and said impatiently, "Please be quiet and come one by one. No grabbing is allowed. If you don't obey, I will chop it up and throw it away." Feed the wolves in the mountains.”

Suddenly the crowd was as quiet as a chicken. They only dared to look at the iron pot with longing eyes and did not dare to take another step forward.

Zhong Ran lit a spot with his spoon and said, "Come here first."

What she ordered was the little masked girl she accidentally stepped on when she entered.

His beautiful eyes were always looking at her. When Zhong Ran looked at him, their eyes met. Zhong Ran smiled at him and his tone became much gentler.

"Little sister, come here, sister will serve you some soup." He rolled his eyes and finally lowered his eyelashes, but did not speak or move.

The old woman next to him smiled flatteringly, "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam." She took out a bowl from the dusty package.

Everyone had a bowl of mutton soup, and the shabby house finally burst into laughter and laughter. Everyone present could see clearly that the murderous lady in front of them was cold on the outside, hot on the knife, with a mouth full of tofu, and she was making mutton soup for her while threatening her with a big knife.

A brave woman spoke and asked, "My wife, are you also on a run for it?"

"I am Orion." Zhong Ran turned over the barbecued leg of lamb without explaining much.

"I also guessed it. Madam is so skilled that she can't be hungry in this famine year."

Zhong Ran smiled lightly, looking at the exhausted faces, he only sighed in his heart.

She asked, "Where are you running away to?"

"Where else could it be, Qingshang Imperial City, asking the princess for food? I don't believe she can just watch us starve to death."

"Yes, go to the imperial city to ask for food. If you don't give it, you won't leave. I will die in front of her."

"She is a popular and popular person in the palace. She doesn't care about our life or death. Let's go find her."

……

Some people responded indignantly, and the atmosphere instantly became high.

Zhong Ran hit the iron pot with a spoon, and the crowd immediately fell silent.

She said, "I advise you not to cause trouble. Go back where you came from. When I left the city in the morning, City Lord Helianling had already issued an order to fight against famine. I think it will be implemented in the whole country within a month. The days are coming to an end.”

"Are you telling the truth?" They set out from Yuncheng two days ago, so they didn't know about growing sweet potatoes in greenhouses.
